Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 756 38.941C
Although the interpretation is not necessarily correct, at least it can be interpreted, rather than being completely ignorant, and that is enough. Once it can be interpreted, whether it is right or wrong, humans can always filter it out through the old method, that is, the exhaustive method.

Of course, such screening is also based on human cognition. In other words, it is some values ​​obtained by humans based on their understanding of the universe, such as 299792458.458, 6.67430×10 to the -11th power, and 6.62607015×10 to the -34th power.
All these things, as well as the charge of an electron, the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation, even the diameter of an atom, the Planck time, the Planck length, etc., are all the same.

Oh, after all, billions of years have passed, and the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation may be a little different.

Also, the numerical values ​​are definitely different. After all, each civilization defines its own units differently, but they are all comparable. For example, the speed of light can be defined as 1, and then the entire mathematical and physical system is based on this, which is a different set of numbers. Or you can define the Planck length as 1, and then develop a set of mathematical expressions for physical constants based on this.

The values ​​are definitely different, but after conversion they can match the digital system used by humans themselves. In this way, humans can know what physical quantity the values ​​found in this Pioneer maze correspond to.

As long as we know a physical quantity, humans can gradually understand the information contained in it from point to surface.

Obviously, due to the universality of physical laws and mathematics, the common language of all civilizations in the universe must be based on these two, and every civilization that can set foot in the starry sky is proficient in these laws. This is the foundation of the foundation.

No illiterate person can travel the universe.

Science is different from metaphysics. It is a discipline that can determine the results under given formulas and conditions. If the results are different from the previous ones and different from the theory, then the process must be wrong.

Therefore, if a technological civilization is compared to an alchemist, then when he is refining the elixir, he must know the result of the elixir. Whether it will be successful or not, how many pills will be produced, and what grade of the pills are all within expectations. There will not be a situation where he randomly manipulates the fuel to refine an undeletable pill and then is extremely shocked. If there is a mistake, there must be some detail. Finding this mistake will definitely lead to mass production.

Of course, the scientific research process is certainly full of uncertainty, and the so-called scientific research results are to find the correct answer from countless errors and master it accurately.

As for those who don’t know the result and can only produce an unreplicable creation, that is really black technology. They don’t know the principle, but just mess around and produce it. It is impossible to replicate a second one. That is black technology. So black technology is not about how advanced the technology is, but about the technology without understanding the principle.

Take the current creations of mankind for example. The 3,000 sets of consciousness linking devices given by the awakeners are considered black technology, because humans do not understand their principles at all. Understanding the principles is not just knowing how it works on the surface, but requires mastering the specific theories and mathematical processes.

Closer to home.

When humans obtain various measurement data, they begin to use computers to calculate, screen and compare.

There are too many possibilities, and the data required to run the calculations is huge. Fortunately, the comprehensive strong artificial intelligence on Tianqin is powerful enough, otherwise it would not be able to complete such a task. Even so, the calculations and analogies will take at least one or two years.

This is a huge computational project, and it didn't take too long. The final calculation results did not disappoint humans, and we got a group of values ​​that seemed strange but were similar to the cosmic physical constants defined by humans. The arrays after conversion were not exactly the same, but as long as one or more of them had the same arrangement, they would be screened out.

For example, if a set of data has 10 billion digits, and 100 million of them are the same, they will be screened out, and then the data will be repeatedly screened and calculated again until the corresponding array is found.

Such a task could not be completed by humans alone, and it would not work if a computer were to do it. Therefore, during this period of time, everyone in the entire human First Fleet became busy, and even Yue Yuan participated.

Everyone is contributing their own strength.

After that, humans got a set of clear numerical values, 64182366320.305211296855894366535984536499
This is the value after being converted into the human mathematical system. The value is very long and is an infinite non-repeating decimal. As we all know, there are only two most famous infinite non-repeating decimals in the mathematical system. One is pi, and the other is the base e of the logarithmic function of natural numbers.

Of course, there is also the golden ratio, that is, the square root of five minus one divided by two is also an irrational number, and the same is true for the square root of two and the square root of five.

These numbers are infinite non-repeating decimals in the human mathematical system, but not necessarily in the mathematical systems of other civilizations. For example, if a civilization defines π as 1, then their pi is not an infinite non-repeating decimal. However, when using this mathematical system for calculations, other infinite non-repeating decimals will also appear. Irrational numbers do not disappear because of the definition, they just appear in a different place.

The definition of intelligent life cannot change the underlying mathematical logic of the universe. It only changes the surface and habits of one's own use of numbers, that's all.

It's like we call green green and other civilizations name it red, it has no effect.

So what information can humans get from this set of infinite non-repeating numbers? It is certainly not clear from just looking at it this way, but if this value is divided by π, it becomes a set of short values, namely 20429881718.4227115. After this, divide this value by 1.75, and you will get a very obvious set of values: 11674218124.812978
After a simple conversion, we can know that this set of numbers is exactly 38.941 multiplied by the speed of light, which is 38.941 times the speed of light. Humans know very well what 38.941 times the speed of light means. It is the peak speed of a level civilization.

Of course, the values ​​are not that accurate, but they are within the error range. Humans believe that the error is caused by inaccurate measurements of certain atomic diameters.

As for the π in the value, it is understandable, but why is it divided by 1.75? The reason is that 1.75 is a billion billion times the diameter of a hydrogen atom.

Why did humans find a diameter that is a billion billion times the diameter of a hydrogen atom? That's because humans have tried all the diameters of the elements on the periodic table, and they would rather fail than give up.

So why is it 38.941 times the speed of light? Why is it the peak warp speed of a level civilization? What information did the pioneers want to convey to the later generations by hiding such a set of values ​​in this maze?
