Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida and the other two walked around the entire third floor, which took more than an hour, but they gained almost nothing. This was because the third floor was a floor on the spacecraft specifically used to grow green plants, but due to its age, water and electricity were cut off, and all the plants had died or even weathered, so it would be strange if there was any harvest.

After exploring the third floor, it was already noon. The three of them temporarily left the alien spacecraft and returned to the earth-drilling probe. They ate in a normal air environment and took a nap. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them entered the alien spacecraft again and began to explore from the fourth floor. This floor seemed to be the living floor for ordinary crew members. Inside was a densely packed small room, ranging from a dozen square meters to forty or fifty square meters. Qiao Ruida forcibly pried open several rooms, which were filled with a large number of alien civilization furniture, home appliances, and daily necessities. Most of the wood products, cloth products, and even some synthetic materials similar to plastics were aging and decaying, and would break into dregs at the touch. Only a few metal products and electrical equipment were still intact. As for whether they could be used normally, they had to try it out. Fortunately, the power supply on the spacecraft had been restored. Those strange-shaped and different-function electrical appliances could be used directly by turning on the power to test whether they could be used.

"Commander, President Qiao, look, we found a lot of metal cards in this room. The size, thickness, and material of each card are exactly the same. Only the images and alien characters on the surface are different. I don't know what they are used for."

Zhou Xiaobo cleaned out more than a dozen boxes of metal cards from a pile of rotten furniture debris, with a total of hundreds of cards. They had already found many similar cards in the house they explored before, and their purpose was unknown. When they first found this kind of card, they thought it was a business card from an alien civilization. Later, the number of metal cards they found increased, and the format of the text marked was completely different, with no rules at all. Only then did everyone realize that this kind of metal card was definitely not a business card that you just throw away after receiving it.

"I guess these metal cards are a kind of storage media, similar to the CDs, memory cards, and hard drives we humans use. Haven't we discovered several electronic devices that can read these cards? It's just that those devices have been left for too long and their parts are damaged. They start smoking when powered on." Qiao Ruida picked up a few metal cards, looked at the alien text marked on them, and expressed his speculation.

"Here is another device that reads metal cards. There is a metal card inserted in the card slot. Let's plug it in and try. I hope this one won't smoke anymore." Xie Duanyang found a device that looked like a black box on a pile of wood slag and tried to press a few buttons on it. There was no response when he pressed the first three buttons. When he pressed the fourth button, several rays of light shot out from the square box and a sound of music was emitted. Just as everyone gathered around to see what this square box was, a puff of green smoke came out from the inside of the box, and then the light and music disappeared immediately, and there was no response anymore.

"Shit, I thought I finally found a good device, but it was just a fake. I just turned it on and it started to smoke."

"Judging from the light and music that appeared when it was turned on, this square box is likely an entertainment terminal or computer of an alien civilization. It can display images, play music, and play movies. Those metal cards should be a storage medium for entertainment content such as movies and TV series."

"It would be great if these metal cards were really storage media. As long as we have a good reading device, we can decipher the contents stored on these metal cards. With a large amount of text and images as reference, it will be possible to decipher alien texts and learn alien technology."

"Unfortunately, the few black box devices we found are all broken. They smoke when turned on. Why don't we find a few more black boxes, bring them back to the lunar base, and try to repair them."

"I've seen electrical devices with damaged shells. The structures inside are completely different from the home appliances we humans use. We don't even know how these alien appliances work, so how can we repair them? Let alone wireless power transmission, we can't handle it. We don't have such wireless power transmitters in our lunar base."

As early as when exploring the first resident's room, Qiao Ruida discovered that the alien civilization that built this spaceship had mastered the technology of short-range wireless power transmission. This can be seen from the fact that all the home appliances in the room have no power cords and no built-in power supplies. On the roof of each room, there is a mouse-sized wireless power transmitter, and inside various electrical appliances, there is a fingernail-sized device that receives microwaves and converts them into electricity. The transmission distance is at least more than 20 meters, and it is no problem to cover the entire room. As for the loss of this wireless power transmission technology, it is not clear at present, but it is speculated that it will not be too low, but this civilization has mastered the black hole power generation technology, and energy comes too easily, so it doesn't matter if the loss is large.

"When we leave, we'll take a few wireless power transmitters back to test and see what voltage is needed. It would be great if we could crack this wireless power supply technology. It would be very practical."

After putting away all the metal cards, the three of them left the room. Qiao Ruida looked at the densely packed doors of the rooms in front of the corridor and asked, "There are at least tens of thousands of pigeon houses on this floor, and almost every room has traces of aliens living in it. Even if there are two people living in a family, there are at least 20,000 people. But since we boarded the ship, the only aliens we have found are the two lying in the hibernation chamber on the first floor. Where do you think all these people have gone?"

"There are only two possibilities, either dead or gone. Death is easy to explain. All living things have a lifespan and it is impossible to be immortal. Even if this alien civilization has mastered the technology of cryogenic hibernation, it cannot support their people to hibernate indefinitely. Over time, most aliens will reach the end of their lifespan and die. As for the speculation that they are gone, it is not something I made up. Have you forgotten that in ancient myths all over the earth, there are gods with human heads and snake bodies. That may be describing the people of this alien civilization." Zhou Xiaobo said after a little thought.

"You mean, in ancient times, these aliens once left the moon and visited the earth. Then why are there no aliens living on the earth today, and no traces of their remains have been found?"

"Who said there are no aliens on Earth today? Are all those UFO legends false? As for the relics left by aliens, there are even more, such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Petra Temple, the Longyou Grottoes and other large megalithic buildings. The scale of their construction and the technology used far exceeded the industrial level of humans at that time. They are likely to be relics left by aliens." The three of them discussed a few words casually, and then used tools to open the door of the next room, and continued to look for electrical appliances that could be used normally, and collected metal cards that were suspected to be storage devices. As for books, Qiao Ruida and his team had also encountered them, but the preservation state was very poor, with serious damage and oxidation. As long as the door of the room was opened and the air flowed, it would soon become a pile of dust. Some archaeological experts in the Earth Flight Control Center were so heartbroken when they saw this situation that they could not breathe, and they repeatedly stopped this rough and destructive excavation. In their words, if the protective excavation equipment and methods developed in recent years are used, these precious alien books will most likely be preserved. When studying this alien civilization, there will be text materials for reference.

After discussing with the national team and the three astronauts of Qiao Ruida, they decided to select a few more distinctive rooms, break into the doors and excavate, collect enough electrical equipment and metal card samples, bring them back to the lunar base, and try to decipher the contents stored on the metal cards. If these metal cards are really the storage media for alien books, images, and information as speculated, then these severely oxidized paper books are not that important. If the metal cards cannot be deciphered, it will not be too late to try to protect and excavate the alien books.

With the new excavation plan, Qiao Ruida and his two companions acted quickly, selecting several rooms with more luxurious decorations and breaking into them for excavation. They collected a large number of electrical appliances of various shapes and tens of thousands of metal cards. The remaining thousands of rooms were not moved, waiting for subsequent protective excavation. Because there were too many electrical appliances and metal cards this time, and they were too heavy, Qiao Ruida and his two companions ran back and forth several times before transporting the drilling probe back. In order to save some running and time, they also used the elevator for the first time. It was just that everyone used this alien elevator for the first time, and everyone fumbled for a long time, but they couldn't do it. It was Qiao Ruida who opened the golden finger and mastered the operation method of the elevator through the analysis skill, and determined its safety and integrity, so that they could ride it with confidence. This analysis also had an unexpected gain, that is, they mastered some alien characters. Some characters marked on the control panel and appeared on the holographic screen have established a corresponding relationship with Chinese characters.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Ruida and his two companions returned to the moon in the earth-drilling probe. Today's exploration operation was a complete success. Not only did they successfully open the door of the alien spacecraft, but they also found the bodies of aliens, saw the magical black hole power generation technology, and brought back a large number of alien electrical appliances and metal cards. Everyone finally had a preliminary understanding of this alien spacecraft and had a preliminary contact with alien civilization.

There were too many things brought back on this trip, and it was too troublesome to carry them manually. Liu Mei, who was notified in advance, drove a lunar rover to transport the goods, and only then did she transport Qiao Ruida and the other two, as well as all the goods, back to the lunar base at once. After dinner, all the astronauts did not rest, but gathered in the laboratory to work together to study the electrical appliances and metal cards brought back. The Earth Flight Control Center also found more than a dozen experienced electronic and electrical engineers to remotely assist Qiao Ruida and his team in their research.

The first thing to figure out is the wireless power transmitter. It may take a long time to crack its working principle, and it requires an experienced electronic engineer to operate, but it is still very simple to just try to find the right voltage and frequency to make it work properly. After many attempts from low to high, from AC to DC, finally when 102 volts of DC power was input, the wireless power transmitter lit up with a purple indicator light and started to work normally.

With wireless power supply, testing other alien electrical appliances is much simpler. You only need to turn on the power switch to see if there is any response, whether it can be started, and whether it can work normally to judge whether an appliance is good or bad. This work is not complicated and all astronauts can do it. Everyone simply classified all the equipment brought back, assigned people, and quickly tested it.

"This appliance started to smoke after it was turned on. It has such a strong smell of burning. It can't be poisonous, right?"

"This one doesn't work either. Even the indicator light won't come on."

"Hey, I found a good one. It can blow air outwards when it's turned on. Is it an electric fan or air conditioner or something?"

"This little ball is a lighting device. It glows when the switch is turned on, and the brightness can be adjusted. It's a very interesting gadget."

"This thing seems to be a communication device similar to a walkie-talkie. There is a rustling sound when it is turned on. I don't know what kind of signal it uses."

Everyone worked together and soon found some electronic devices that were of solid quality and still usable after thousands of years of use. Then they tested the specific functions of these intact electrical appliances in detail and kept detailed records. Unfortunately, the black boxes that read metal cards failed during the test. They either smoked or had no response at all. It was still difficult to read the contents stored on those metal cards.

At this time, an astronaut who was in charge of studying the metal cards exclaimed, "Damn, these metal cards are actually densely covered with round pits of varying sizes and depths. Isn't this similar to the storage principle of CDs, VCDs, and DVDs that we used to use in the past few years? It shouldn't be difficult to crack it."

This attracted the attention of all the astronauts. They put down their work and gathered behind the astronaut who was speaking to check the picture on the electron microscope screen. After magnifying it hundreds of times, the metal card, which looked smooth as a mirror, was actually full of neatly arranged circular pits of varying sizes and depths. Seeing this picture, it is not surprising to think of the CDs that were once popular in human society, because CDs use similar shallow pits to record data. It's just that the circular pits on human CDs are distributed according to circular orbits, while the circular pits on the alien metal card are distributed in a matrix shape. (End of this chapter)
