All of the original observation missions were halted, and the researchers involved were placed on administrative leave. They whispered and whispered in their respective positions, as if they were trying to figure out who Alex was and where he came from.
Alex was unconcerned about these remarks and went straight to the telescope's operator's station, saying, "Hello, please assist me in increasing the resolution of the telescope to the highest level and aiming at... um, here."
With his hands, Alex casually pointed to a particular spot on the sun model.
The telescope operator agreed, tapped a few times on the keyboard in front of him, and made a few adjustments to the telescope's observation parameters. Alex was awakened by a low sound of mechanical rotation, which was very light and stopped after only a brief period of time, and then the picture of the sun on the big screen expanded rapidly, as if it were rapidly approaching here from somewhere else.
Alex observed the waves of plasma surging above the sun, the prominence, which was bound by a strong magnetic field, similar to a stargate, and a variety of things on the sun's surface. These things, on the other hand, are macroscopic; they appear small, but they are actually larger than a dozen Earths put together.
Because the telescope's field of view was still rapidly deepening, the surging plasma waves and the massive prominence both faded away, and a dark red blurry image appeared in front of him in place of the surging plasma waves.
It was explained by the operator that "this is actually a photo of the photosphere." "Located at the bottom of the sun's atmosphere, the photosphere is the most innermost layer. We can only see what we can see from here, and we can't see what's on the other side."
Alex nodded, but he did not identify himself as a stellar physicist to the other party, instead asking: "Can you tell me what you do?" "Is it the highest level of precision available at this time? What is the picture's resolution in terms of pixels?"
A pixel is three kilometers in length and the entire picture is approximately three thousand times thirty-three thousand pixels in size, which is equivalent to nine million square kilometers of the sun." This is what the operator said.
"Now that we've established that the pixels between 926 and 1453 have changed in luminosity, that information will be recorded." Alex shared his thoughts.
Alex chose this coordinate point at random from a large number of possibilities. Alex was only interested in testing the performance of this telescope, and he had no intention of actually observing anything from it.
"Okay." The operator agreed and pressed the keys on the keyboard once more. Alex responded a minute later, saying, "Print the results to me."
Alex's hands quickly swung around to receive a piece of paper. Using the graphing calculator, the operator graphically represents the luminosity of this pixel as a function of time on this piece of paper.
Because the surface of the sun is extremely unstable, the luminosity of a given location will naturally fluctuate at any given time. Given the fact that this is an almost random change, it is impossible for Alex to deduce anything from this chart on his own. Alex has no hope of gaining access to any information through this method. Alex was only looking to get confirmation on his concept.
"Can you tell me how accurate it is?" Alex was the one who inquired.
"Hmm..." The operator took a breath, tapped the computer a few times quickly, and then replied, "It's about one in 930,000 accuracies."
"All right, since I have nothing to do, you can go ahead and start working." Alex said as he tucked the piece of paper into his jacket pocket.
The operator looked at Alex with some skepticism in his eyes, but he didn't inquire as to what Alex wanted to do. The researchers at the factory were also able to return to work as a result of the arrangement made by the thin middle-aged man. The Vulcan solar telescope repositioned itself, and the image of the blazing sun appeared on the big screen once more.
"Do you have any conclusions?" says the narrator. Virat was the one who inquired. "Perhaps scientists from the scientific research department will be able to assist you in resolving the situation."
"I don't have any conclusions at this point." Alex made a shaky motion with his head "I'm completely at a loss for words. All of this reminds me of the high-precision light intensity detector that Brad used to have installed on the solar environment simulator when it was first built. I'd like to see Examine the two items to see if there is any connection between them."
"Perhaps there will be some sort of connection." When Virat heard Alex say this, he lost interest in asking any more questions.
"Let's get out of here, there's nothing to do." After a few hours of resting, Alex suggested that they go to the rocket launch site the next day and say farewell to the warriors who were about to be launched into the sun.
"For your comfort, we've prepared a place for you to rest." He said this as he escorted Alex and his group back to the building next to the factory. The man was thin and middle-aged.
Alex was lying in his bed at night, but he couldn't fall asleep for some reason. The connection between two points in my mind appears to be hazy at best, and Alex has never been able to figure out what the connection actually is.
I'm not sure when Alex fell asleep, but it's possible that the quality of the air here is so good that he didn't feel tired when he woke up the next morning.
The sun rose as scheduled, and the Vulcan solar telescope rose with it, continuing its day's work as it had done the day before. At this point, Alex boarded the helicopter and began the journey to the launch site on foot.
