After Dean Qi obtained the authorization, he immediately directed the space telescope towards the general location from which the unknown signal was emitted and conducted a wide-area detection scan.
This detection involved optical photography and pixel analysis.
The space telescope's ultra-high-speed camera can take 11 million photos per second.
The information collected from these photos is compared bi-directionally with the information obtained by the photon quantum information capture system.
Then, from the vast amount of data, special data are identified.
In less than ten minutes, the space telescope had locked onto about twenty suspect targets and then began targeted scanning.
The first target was ruled out.
It was a wandering planet.
The second target was ruled out.
It was a special interstellar dust cloud, very valuable for research, but not the target they were currently seeking.
The third, fourth, fifth...
