"Do you want to send a message?" Alex was a little taken aback by this statement, asking, "What message? "What is the point of sending a message?"
This has reached the point where we must confirm that the alleged AL2-class civilization does, in fact, exist. It is possible that they do have Dyson spheres on the sun, in which case they will be able to receive radio signals from us. Received. It is true that we want to take the initiative to contact them; however, we cannot continue in this manner, no matter what thoughts and plans they may have about us." The words of Hao Fei were a little shaky.
"Has the president made up his mind about what he wants to do?" Alex inquired after a brief moment of silence.
"The Ministry of Scientific Research recommended that the head of state do this," says the official. "After sending the message, we will see two different outcomes," Hao Fei predicted. First and foremost, the message from the AL2-level civilization has been returned to us. If this is the case, we can rely on the content of the response. Plan and organize the next course of action. Second, we have received no information from anyone. Aside from that, there are two possible outcomes to this situation. As a starting point, this AL2 civilization has chosen to ignore us. Due to the fact that we are being ignored, we must take the next action, which may include active detection or other methods; second, this AL2-level civilization does not exist at all. - If they do not exist, we must seize the opportunity to carry out the next action in order to save our civilization from extinction. So... logically, if the signal we send does not elicit a response, we should terminate the solar exploration program and begin again."
"I also agree with the sentiment expressed in this statement." "Can you tell me which observatory was responsible for this signal transmission?" Alex inquired.
"The Chang'e radio telescope, located within the Chang'e Observatory, was the source of the "Wow" signal," says the author.
The Galaxy Radio Telescope, with a diameter of up to 500 meters, is the largest radio telescope on the planet, and it is the most powerful. For obvious reasons, a radio telescope with such a large diameter will not be constructed using the standard radio telescope design, which includes a base and a large pot-like antenna, because at the current state of human technology, it is still impossible to support such a large device on the ground. In reality, it was constructed within a valley in the ground.
With a diameter of 500 meters and a depth of a few tens of meters, the valley had a basin-like shape. As part of its construction, engineers trimmed the basin and smoothed its valleys to a specific angle and curvature. They then installed more than 400,000 aluminum sheets on the basin's walls and bottom in accordance with strict guidelines; these sheets remain in place to this day. A bracket was built to support the signal receiver, which was installed above the basin. Consequently, all radio signals within a 500-meter radius of the aluminum sheets will be reflected back to the signal receiver above, allowing it to achieve the most sensitive signal reception capability on the planet. If the Galaxy Radio Telescope's theoretical strength is correct, it may be able to receive radio signals from Mars that are equivalent in strength to mobile phone communications.
Aside from that, it is also the receiver of the most famous "wow" signal in the history of extraterrestrial life exploration.
An extremely suspicious radio signal coming from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius is referred to as the "Wow" signal. Signals have a certain degree of logical ordering, which makes it unlikely that they will be emitted by natural phenomena. Later researchers referred to this signal as the "wow signal" because after receiving it, the Galaxy Radio Telescope's staff scrawled a big "wow" on the signal paper to express their surprise, leading to the signal being given the name "wow."
The wow signal only appeared once during the game. For more than ten years after that, the Galaxy Radio Telescope will continue to monitor in the original direction on a monthly basis, but it has never received another wow signal of the same magnitude since. In addition to NASA, other research institutions on Earth have also conducted extensive monitoring in the direction of Sagittarius, but they have also come up empty-handed. The signal was so unexpectedly strong that it only appeared in front of humans for a brief moment before disappearing and never reappearing. And no one has been able to decipher what the wow signal means so far, despite numerous attempts.
This time, it is the most powerful and well-known radio telescope in the world that is in charge of the mission of transmitting information to the sun.
"Very well, Virat, let's stop going to Equator City and instead go to the Galaxy Observatory," says the captain. "Let's all come together and witness this event," Alex suggested.
"Okay." Virat agreed with me.
The fact that I'm not at the Chang'e Observatory makes no difference. I'll take this matter up with the appropriate authorities. You can proceed directly to your destination, and someone will meet you there." "That's it, goodbye, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything." Hao Fei concluded.
"All right, good-bye." Alex shared his thoughts.
When the helicopter turned in the sky, they stopped to replenish their supplies at a military base that had not yet been evacuated. Then they began their return trip. Alex and his entourage arrived at the Galaxy Observatory approximately eight hours later.
