Chapter 521

The speed of the Infinite began to slow down on the track. Lin Xian came to Carriage 2 at this time, and his eyes immediately saw many screens decoding different things.

Only on the middle screen, a string of binary code remained still.

01110000, 01101111, 01110111, 01100101, 01110010

"What is this?" Lin Xian frowned, his eyes looking at Kiki.

"After removing the repeating loop items, then whether it's 64 or 10, I tried loop code, mapping code, differential code, Morse code, and then..."

Kiki held a lollipop, and then under Lin Xian's gaze, her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard. Then, this string of binary code was immediately converted into 5 orderly English characters. And with the appearance of the characters, Lin Xian's pupils immediately focused on those five characters!

p——o——w——e——r

"power?"

"This is the only answer that meets what we can translate and read; the others are garbled code." Kiki looked at Lin Xian and said seriously, "Okay, the problem now is what does this mean? Power? Electricity? Strength? Sigh, I hate English..."

Lin Xian's eyes reflected the faint light on the screen, and he said in a deep voice: "And I don't know what the context is, who it's said to, just like..."

As he spoke, he looked at Kiki, and they both got a tacit answer from each other's eyes.

"Don't resist from South Tianmen?"

Lin Xian nodded and asked suspiciously: "The information from South Tianmen is in Chinese characters, here it is in English. Could it be sent by different existences?"

"Not necessarily, it might involve the issue of transmission efficiency." Kiki smiled slightly and explained to Lin Xian seriously: "Chinese characters are stored in double bytes in computers. Two Chinese characters are converted from hexadecimal to decimal, and then each byte's decimal value is converted to 8-bit binary. You have to divide by 2 to get the remainder, arrange in reverse order, and the conversion process is more complex. Originally, this 64 was already abstract enough, and adding so many steps, even a god wouldn't think of it..."

"In addition, South Tianmen is outside the giant sky screen, and it is decoded using the pandax-4t liquid xenon detector dark matter particle fluctuation, and then using gravitational waves. I estimate there is a difference here, but then again..."

Kiki looked at Lin Xian, speechless: "Aren't Chinese and English both our Blue Star human civilization?"

"That's also true... Then you mean the information transmitted is not because of mystification, but because it is too complex?" Lin Xian said.

Kiki took a breath, looked at the screen and said: "Whether it's mystification is hard to say, but logically speaking, if two civilizations are far apart and want to transmit information and transmit it accurately, it is definitely not a simple matter. Don't look at this as just a few codes; at least with our current human technology, the galaxy is a mountain that is difficult to overcome."

Lin Xian's expression was uncertain. On one hand, he felt that the puzzle of this metal die seemed to be finally solved, and on the other hand, there was a kind of unknown fear and curiosity, not only about the string of characters in front of him, but also about the civilization that sent the information.

Whoosh!

There was a sound of wind swirling outside. Lin Xian clicked on the power armor visual interface, and the 360-degree external scene of the Infinite within the sentry system appeared in his sight. At this time, they seemed to have arrived at an edge area outside the city, and the radar system scanned the outline of a group of broken walls and ruins.

"This should be Upala, a medium-sized city in Costa Rica."

Kiki opened a holographic map and zoomed in with her fingers: "Here! Hmm... it should have been a dead city for a long time. The main force of the Dawn Center stayed here briefly before, because further ahead is Lake Nicaragua, which we must cross quickly, because the Pacific Ocean is on the left and the big lake is on the right. It looks like a place where big guys might appear."

Lin Xian's expression was solemn, and he looked at the time: "It's getting dark, we must stop. Let's see the situation tonight and enter Mexico tomorrow."

"Okay." Kiki nodded.

At 18:30, the Infinite slowly stopped in the outskirts of the ruined city. The iron wheels ground over concrete fragments and steel remains on the track, and slowly stopped amidst the harsh metal friction sound. This armored train stopped quietly in a thick scarlet mist.

Hundreds of defensive drones circled the entire train silently like night owls. The electrostatic field protective net was activated, and the drones pulled away the infrared alarm isolation, shrouding the entire train in an invisible warning circle. The weapon station hatches on the roof of the train opened quietly, the cold barrels of the anti-aircraft turrets, the honeycomb muzzles of the 1130 close-in defense guns, and the slender rails of the g3 electromagnetic railguns rose one after another. The plasma high-temperature beam network flowed out of the car body outline like molten gold light marks. Except for the missile launch units, all defensive heavy weapons entered a deathly standby state.

Inside the carriage, the blackout steel plates fell section by section. Lin Xian and Kiki walked through the train carriages separately, checking section by section from the front and rear carriages, dining car, living carriage, green plant carriage, material carriage. Because there was no structural magic cube, Lin Xian always felt a lack of a sense of security.

At night, there were bursts of strange roars in the scarlet thick mist outside. The cold light of Carriage 6 of the Infinite emitted a light that was not dazzling, and a smell of food floated in the air.

Kiki used telekinetic waves to slowly sweep repeatedly within a range of one kilometer around the train, and temporarily found no abnormal creatures approaching.

"Although there is no marker, staying in this damn scarlet, I always feel hairy in my heart..."

Kiki leaned on the sofa, peeking outside through the gap opened by the blackout plate, but all she could see was a thick, pitch-black scarlet, as if they were still trapped in the deep sea of thousands of meters.

Click~

Lin Xian pried open the canned bean beef, and the greasy meat chunks started to sizzle and boil when they slid into the heating pot. He set up another soup pot and threw the cut tomatoes and cabbage leaves into the soup pot. There were enough tomatoes and cabbage for two people to squander in the green plant carriage. He simply made a soup, and with the bubbling hot soup, the lonely atmosphere became a little warmer.

Kiki smelled the fragrance and poked her head out from the side. Looking at the tomatoes in the pot, she couldn't help but say: "What good tomatoes, if only I could fry an egg..."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Xian: "Haven't you always wanted to have a breeding carriage? Now the only living things left in the world are in the Polar Phoenix Society, oh right, there is also the Silent City."

Lin Xian looked at the fine sound of the boiling soup and didn't hear Kiki's words. His thoughts had been pondering something: "power... strength, power, electricity, what on earth does it mean..."

"Strength, it sounds most like the answer."

Kiki used telekinesis to press the tomato slices into the soup, and the red juice blurred like blood. Then she turned around and leaned against the stove: "But this word is too empty... it doesn't make much sense."

The cold light nailed the shadows of the two on the armored cabin wall. Lin Xian scooped up a spoonful of meat soup mixed with beans and tasted it, then said: "Then what about electricity? From the perspective of my mechanical psychic ability, I am more willing to think in this direction. Electricity, energy, this might represent something..."

After speaking, he looked at Kiki: "Is there any change in the numbers?"

Kiki shook her head: "This is not real-time, it has been looping. Perhaps the information received at different times is different."

Lin Xian pondered for a while: "Okay, at least we found a breakthrough. Maybe if there is more information, we will know what it wants to express."

"What if it was sent by the Tower People?"
