Finally, scientists saw the inner structure of the water drop.
It was light in it.
There was no entity but just light.
It seemed that the water drop had lost its energy, so the light hung on there and didn’t react a little.
Suddenly, with Cassie’s operation, the light was fading, and then a tiny chip appeared.
“What’s that?” Chase asked.
“Is this tiny s**t the core to support that water drop with energy, communication, temperature, and gravity? How can it be?”
The chip was ordinary, and scientists couldn’t find anything unusual on its surface.
Cassie kept studying it through the instruments, but she didn’t dare to unpack the chip.
It was beyond human cognition, so Cassie was afraid that unpacking would break its inner data.
Suddenly, Chase found a regular force field fluctuation.
Cassie also found it. She hurriedly recorded it and began to study.
Soon, they got the result.
They couldn’t decode it without the original key.
Decoding it required high data computing power and unique abstract thinking.
Scientists couldn’t finger it out, including Chase and Dasin, but Cassie, the weird humans, could make it.
“It contains three groups, and they connect each other with a unique fluctuation. It is coded by ternary, and our computers use binary, so we can’t decode it ordinarily.” Cassie explained.
“Oh!” Chase and Dasin were enlightened.
“Try to decode it!” Dasin said. Though he was the leader here, Cassie was more talented.
Besides, he planned to train Cassie to be the next leader of scientists, so he had to give Cassie chances to show her talents.
Cassie nodded and then continued to study it.
She got the result two hours later.
The content Cassie got was logical, which meant Cassie was right.
Then Cassie spent three more hours translating it.
Chase and other scientists sat by her and waited for the results.
Then the message was finally shown out.
Chase sighed. He finally knew what the chip was.
“It’s a black box…” Chase said.
The black box was a record machine in aircraft that supervised and recorded all the information while flying.
The message from the chip was just about the journey of the water drop.
“At 8:05 AM on 5. 20, Epoch 37020, the energy system functions normally; the defense system functions normally; the gravity system functions normally. Speed: one hundred light velocity.”
“At 8:15 AM on 5. 20, Epoch 37020, the energy system functions normally; the defense system functions normally; the gravity system functions normally. Speed: normal speed.”
“At 10:03 AM on 5. 20, Epoch 37020, under attack. The energy system stops; the defense system stops; the gravity system stops. Disassembly will come after twenty seconds.”
“It… it recorded all the processes from its attack to destruction!” Chase said.
“Yes. The record in this period.” Cassie nodded.
Then Cassie continued to translate.
“Epoch 37000, Luca, the civilization at level 3, rented this detector. League contribution degree of one hundred points and earnest money were paid-up. Renting time: 30 years.”
“Epoch 37001, in the third space field, Luca found lives nearby the No. 75601 fixed star. Life degree: primary, unicellular. Luca gained contribution degree: ten points.”
“Epoch 37003, in the third space field, Luca found the rare resources on the planet in No. 83206 fixed star system. Resource degree: low. Luca gained contribution degree: eight points.”
“Epoch 37003, in the third space field, Luca measured the explosion time of the supernova star, No. 5531 giant star. Luca gained a contribution degree: two points.”
“Epoch 37015, in the third space field, Luca found the intelligent civilization at level two nearby No. 6734 brown dwarf and persuaded it to join the league. Luca gained contribution degree: fifty points.”
“Epoch 37016, in the third space field, Luca found the zerg civilization at level two nearby No. 7791 red dwarf, and destroyed it. Luca gained contribution degree: thirty points.”
“Epoch 37017, in the third space field, Luca found the monster civilization at level two nearby No. 787 dust lane and destroyed it. Luca gained contribution degree: thirty-five points.”
“Epoch 37020, in the third space field, Luca found the space civilization at level three nearby No. 65304 yellow dwarf.”
“Warning! Warning! The space civilization at level three attacked the detector with an unknown method. The energy system stops; the defense system stops; the gravity system stops.”
“Warning! Warning! Please destroy the space civilization at level three. Luca’s contribution degree will be reset if the detector is broken.”
“Warning! Warning! The detector is broken by the unknown technology from other space fields. The value of destroying the civilization raised to two thousand and five hundred points. Luca has the privilege to destroy it first and gains a free super-speed space travel. The information about the civilization will not be announced until Luca agrees.”
It was the last message.
Humans could scan the process they destroyed the water drop from another perspective.
Chase suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
