The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 233 Eavesdropping and Decoding

After the scientific research ship landed on the surface of the earth, Lin Yi immediately controlled a large number of nearby ancient Dictyoptera flying insects to move forward for investigation.

As luck would have it, the location where the opponent landed was very familiar to Lin Yi - next to the Rhine River in later generations. Of course, at this time, the Yekel horseshoe crab that once dominated this place had long since disappeared with the long extinction event of the Devonian period, and it was no different here.

Lobe-finned fishes, early amphibians, and elasmobranch cartilaginous fish similar to heterocanthus sharks, quickly carved up the ecological niche after the large nest groups evacuated the waters and continued their prosperity.

But these are not important. What is important is that among the batch of ancient Dictyoptera flying insects arranged by Lin Yi, apart from the one-to-one reproduction of the normal structure, there is also an individual with a special structure.

The sensory systems of these special flying insects have a special ability, similar to biological radar and biological radio telescopes, and can receive electromagnetic waves in most frequency bands and analyze them.

According to previous analysis, there is a high probability that the other party is still using electromagnetic waves as a means of communication, and communication between the planet and outer space will inevitably require fairly high-power radio communication equipment.

And this also provides an excellent opportunity for Lin Yi to obtain more information about the other party. These electromagnetic waves will become the best, allowing Lin Yi to understand the opponent's methods in detail.

He did not believe that the other party would take strict precautions against these "little flying insects that can be seen everywhere", and there was no reason for the other party to use complex encryption to increase the workload when exploring planets without civilization.

This means that Lin Yi can try to analyze and decipher it, get more information about the other party, and then decide on the next specific plan.

Immediately, the spacecraft remaining in the Earth's orbit in space reacted again - this time, the most massive and bloated spacecraft, which seemed to be a transport ship or a supply ship, began to change its orbit.

Under continuous monitoring, it slowly moved over the landing position of the scientific research ship. Under the belly cabin, numerous hatches opened. Immediately, a large number of small black dots detached from its belly and fell downwards.

It seems that the other party does intend to carry out large-scale landings. These airdrop pods that intensively penetrate into the atmosphere and perform orbital airdrops are the best illustration.

These black spots are obviously larger than the previous detection drones. The overall shape is somewhat similar to the spacecraft return capsule of later generations, showing a cylindrical shape with the ends drawn inward. It can be seen from the structure that it has a large capacity and seems to be a kind of carrying capsule, or airdrop compartment.

As expected, soon, the top of the alien spacecraft that seemed to be a scientific research ship slowly separated from the originally tight top hull. A structure that looked like a radar antenna and seemed to be a communication device protruded from it and launched towards the sky. The first series of electromagnetic wave signals.

It was still a familiar process. Each of the huge airdrop cabins dragged their flame tails through the ionosphere. Then they opened their parachutes in the middle layer and began to slowly land towards the landing place of the previous scientific research ship.

At the same time as the airdrop pod landed, more radio signals were transmitted between the sky and the earth, and all of this was monitored secretly by the special ancient web-winged flying insects, and was synchronously transmitted to the biological computer structures underground on Mars through space synapses. at.

On Mars, a large number of biological computers hidden underground that combined brain cells and binary computer structures immediately began to operate at full capacity to analyze and decipher the specific content of these radio signals. The radio waves transmitted by the other party are not much different from the technology of later generations of mankind. They use electromagnetic waves with different signal frequencies as information carriers. No complex encryption methods have been found yet. It seems that the other party is indeed unprepared. This makes Lin Yi Its decipherment becomes possible.

With the supply of a large number of biological fission reactors, these biological computers operate at full power to conduct detailed analysis of this section of radio wave data.

Because it was a completely unfamiliar language and signal transmission form, Lin Yi was a little confused for a while, but soon he found a breakthrough.

It seems that the landed scientific research ship is transmitting the detected comprehensive environmental information. Many regular signals appear in it, and they are often accompanied by a signal that repeats many times.

If the other party does not perform too complicated encryption and assumes that the other party's language form conforms to basic logic - this should be nonsense. To be able to establish such a complex civilization, the language must be orderly no matter what form it is based on.

After some comparison and analysis, these regular signals seemed to represent numbers. By further combining the before and after signals, it can be inferred that the data before and after this period is most likely an analysis of atmospheric composition.

And assuming that the builders of alien spacecraft also live in an Earth-like planet with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, then the most critical thing for them should be oxygen. Among them, a signal accompanying the digital part appeared repeatedly many times, and Lin Yi assumed that it referred to oxygen, which is the most important thing for living things.

Although I don't know if it is correct, at least there is a breakthrough, and the rest is the most simple and crude exhaustion. All of this is carried out quickly under the full power operation of the biological computer, and the approximate result is soon available.

However, just when the deciphering was getting better, the transmission of signals ended with the fall of those airdrops. Silence temporarily resumed between the ground and space, with only white umbrella flowers dotting the horizon. It's the airdrop warehouse that is slowly falling downwards.

"The airdrop pod is ready for landing and control of the equipment is being transferred. The transfer is completed."

In order to save space occupied by complex life-support systems, the first batch of planet landings were large engineering machinery that could be remotely controlled, and some prefabricated building modules, which could be easily unfolded and assembled to match the hull of the scientific research ship. docking, making it truly a research outpost on the planet’s surface.

At the same time, there are also large all-terrain transportation vehicles and various miscellaneous tools, which are packed and stuffed into these huge airdrop compartments, and dropped from the outer orbit of the atmosphere to the location of the scientific research ship.

Although these simple-structured airdrops do not have the function of position correction, cameras and constantly connected radio devices allow them to remotely control these equipment to perform operations such as recovery and return to the side of the scientific research ship.

Under remote control, the hatches of the airdrop warehouses were opened one by one, and the engineering and technical personnel following the scientific research ship began to take over the control of these unmanned comprehensive engineering machinery, and controlled them to leave the airdrop warehouse and begin to move closer to the scientific research ship.

Soon, a fully functional outpost will be established on this new planet of life.
