Special Chapter III: The Big Ear and the mysterious fast radio bursts

Special Chapter III: The Big Ear and the mysterious fast radio bursts

After leaving the downtown area of Dunhanchen City, the Jeremiah team rushed to the desert west of Dunhanchen without stopping, driving nearly 200 kilometers by off-road vehicles to reach the Sanlon Yardang.

When they arrived at the Sanlon Yardang, it was midnight. Jeremiah saw that everyone was tired, so he decided to let them light a bonfire, set up tents under a huge rock, and rest until the next day to continue the journey.

Assistant Kevin and engineer Obama, who were injured, went to the tent first, and Dr. Wood was responsible for treating and taking care of them. Although others were sleepy, they couldn't sleep for a while and sat around the fire to keep warm and chat.

Jason, the bodyguard, said to Jeremiah, "We haven't had any vehicles following us since we drove here. I guess those enemies will not chase us for the time being."

Jeremiah said, "After the previous round of fighting, the enemy forces of various factions were almost wiped out. If those people could escape the pursuit of the 'Eagle Strike Special Police Force' of Walongge, it would already be fortunate, let alone to come after us. "

Jason turned to look at Qing Li, the tour guide, and saw that she was still in a state of fear from the gruesome scene earlier. He wanted to shift her focus away from it and calm down quickly. He smiled at her and said, "Hey, Qing, our beautiful tour guide, isn't this also a tourist attraction? Why don't you introduce it to us, since it's not too late for everyone to fall asleep yet."

In a daze, Qing Li heard Jason call her. After a moment of confusion, she snapped back to reality and replied weakly, "Yes, that's right. This is indeed a famous scenic spot. This is Sanlon Yardang, one of the three most beautiful Yardang landscapes in Walongge. During the day, we can appreciate the magnificent and fantastic scenery here, but unfortunately, we can't see anything at night, and it looks like a devil's city.

In ancient times, it was a must pass on the Trade Road. Many camel caravans will also camp here and rest as we do now. Therefore, it is often rumored that some lucky tourists have picked up some precious cultural relics left by the ancients in this area.

Zoe said, "Relics? Sounds interesting. Is it true? Why don't we try to find some here? Maybe we can find one or two."

"Fake!" Sabrin, who had drunk herself into a stupor, chimed in, "Those are all scams. I've been here for a long time, and I've never seen any relics. There is nothing here except endless sand and rocks and the scraps of garbage left by tourists."

Qing Li said, "Perhaps it is indeed just a rumor. But it is also possible that your luck is bad and you haven't come across any relics."

Sabrin shrugged indifferently.

Ito asked Sabrin, "By the way, why did you stay here for so long? Was it to study the Yardang landform?"

Sabrin glanced at Jeremiah, as if asking for permission.

Jeremiah nodded, "It's time to tell them."

After getting permission, Sabrin said, "Actually, I've been here several times. The first time was to study the landform here, but the later times were for something else."

Ito laughed, "You're not really here for relics, are you?"

Sabrin looked at Ito seriously and said slowly, "For aliens!"

Ito was stunned and exclaimed, "What?! Aliens... I didn't hear it wrong, did I?"

Sabrin said, "Yes, Ito, my friend, you heard me right. I'm talking about extraterrestrials, real extraterrestrials, not the ones people imagine."

The other members of Jeremiah's team, except for Ito, Raj, and Qing Li, were already aware of this matter, so they remained calm. Upon hearing Sabrin's words, Raj and Qing Li, who had been lost in thought, became curious and focused their attention on Sabrin, eager to hear her story.

Sabrin placed the bottle in his hand down and spoke with a slightly excited look, "Well, actually, I wanted to tell you all about this a long time ago, but the 'Prophet' (Jeremiah) felt that the timing wasn't right and asked me not to say anything for the time being. Now, after going through many hardships, we have finally arrived here, and it is indeed time for you to know the truth.

Here's what happened. Although I am a geologist, a professor in the Geological Surveying Department at the Romanov National Geological Exploration University, I have been fascinated by extraterrestrials since I was young and have an incredibly strong passion for studying them. Therefore, in my spare time, I have spent a lot of time researching UFO events and various rumors related to extraterrestrials around the world and I enjoy it very much.

Before meeting the 'Prophet,' I have always agreed with Frank Drake, an American astrophysicist, and his Drake equation, which suggests that the vast universe is like an endless desert, and planets with highly technological civilizations are like isolated oases scattered in the desert. I believed that there were a large number of intelligent creatures in the Milky Way, and they may be trying or have already succeeded in contacting humans on Earth in some way that humans have not yet detected. Therefore, for a long time, I was very enthusiastic about traveling around the world, tirelessly chasing after the "traces" that extraterrestrial creatures may have left behind. Although I was ultimately empty-handed.

Later, about three years ago, the Romanov National Geological Exploration University organized a geological surveying team to Dunhanchen to investigate the yardang landforms around Dunhanchen for scientific research purposes. At the time, I was appointed as the leader of this geological surveying team, which made me very excited. Because not far from the Sanlon Yardang is the Lap Nar. The Lap Nar is a "Devil's Triangle" on the Asian continent, where many incredible and mysterious events have occurred. I had heard about these mysterious events a long time ago, and deeply suspected that all these mysterious events were related to extraterrestrial creatures. I had always been eager to go there to find out, but I was unable to due to a lack of funding, so I have long been unable to go. However, that geological survey provided me with a great opportunity."

Qing Li interjected, "I have heard a lot about the mysterious events in the Lap Nar, and every time I take tourists through the Lap Nar, I mention these events to them to add to the thrill of the adventure. However, I never thought that these events would be related to extraterrestrial creatures."

Ito asked, "What kind of mysterious events are those?"

Qing Li said: "In a nutshell, planes and vehicles passing there occasionally have bizarre crashes, and some explorers and researchers have inexplicably disappeared or made some incomprehensible strange behaviors when they are active there, probably these and so on."

After listening to the mysterious things told by Qing Li, Ito found it hard to believe. But after some contemplation, he said, "From these mysterious events, it seems that there is a certain mysterious force in the region of the Lap Nar that causes people to die in a bizarre manner or suddenly lose their minds and do something out of the ordinary. Could it be that a special magnetic field or radiation energy has formed in that area due to some natural factors, leading to the occurrence of these mysterious events? "

Sabrin nodded and said, " When I was studying those mysterious events in the Lap Nar, I also thought of special magnetic fields or radiation energy. However, my idea is different from yours. I don't think that those special magnetic fields or radiation energy were formed due to natural factors. Based on my many years of research on mysterious alien events, my intuition tells me that they are definitely related to aliens.

Therefore, before the geological survey team set out, I sought the help of some like-minded alien enthusiasts and obtained a batch of advanced detection equipment with their assistance. Then, I brought this batch of detection equipment with me and accompanied the geological survey team to Dunhanchen.

We arrived here in early March, and in the following two weeks, I led the geological survey team to conduct geological surveys of the yardang landforms in the area and quickly completed all the survey work. Next, I lured the members of the geological survey team to accompany me into the Lap Nar to investigate those mysterious events.

We placed many detection devices in the area where the mysterious events occurred, including gaussmeters (magnetic field strength measurement devices), laser gas analyzers, portable radiation detectors, mini radio telescopes, and so on. Then, we eagerly awaited surprises as if waiting for lottery results.

However, the result was disappointing. we explored for half a month and found nothing abnormal. All the detection devices detected nothing unusual. Everything was very normal.

As the geological survey team's funds were running out and supplies were dwindling, I had to evacuate the team from the Lap Nar. Although I felt extremely unwilling.

On the day we were preparing to leave, we coincidentally encountered a terrible sandstorm, which made our planned journey very dangerous. In consideration of the safety of the members of the geological survey team, I had to let them abandon the recovery of those detection devices, leaving them behind in Lap Nar so that the team could travel lightly. We drove like crazy horses all the way, and finally returned to the city of Dunhanchen, and took a plane back to the Romanov country before the sandstorm "engulfed" Dunhanchen.

A few days later, I returned home feeling very disappointed, thinking the matter had come to a close. Afterwards, I never thought about it again and focused my attention on other extraterrestrial mysteries.

However, about half a month later, by chance, I found that my laptop had received many sets of observation data from the mini radio telescope. It turned out that the mini radio telescope we had set up in the center of Lap Nar was not damaged by the sandstorm. It was still collecting observation data and transmitting the data to the data processing system installed in my laptop through the satellite internet

What's even more exciting is that according to these observation data, the mini radio telescope had captured 64 repeated "fast radio bursts" (short and intense radio pulse signals) from the same transmitter located 6,000 light-years away in the past half month! Do you know what this means? It means that these "fast radio bursts" are likely signals released by extraterrestrial life! This is a huge discovery, a really big one! I was extremely excited at the time...

"Wait," Ito interrupted, "I have a question. As far as I know, radio telescopes are usually very large, with diameters typically ranging from tens to even hundreds of meters. However, the mini radio telescopes you mentioned taking to the Lap Nar should at most have diameters below ten meters. Can these small radio telescopes really detect signals from 6000 light years away like regular radio telescopes? I mean, are their results reliable?"

Sabrin did not blame Ito for interrupting and instead praised, "Good question, good question, my dear Ito. You're right, those mini radio telescopes should not be able to detect those signals because they are too small, too small to even detect signals beyond the solar system. But fortunately, due to the special terrain of Lap Nar, it made all of this possible. That's the most magical part of this whole thing."

As he spoke, Sabrin took out a satellite photo of the Lap Nar terrain from his pocket and handed it to Ito. After looking at it carefully for a while, Ito suddenly exclaimed, "I understand, I understand. That's so interesting! One must say that nature is truly marvelous."

Qing Li was also curious and came over to look at the photo with Ito, but she said in confusion, "This is just a common satellite photo of Lap Nar. I've seen many similar photos before and nothing seems special, what did you understand from it?"

Ito did not answer, but instead pointed at the photo and asked Qing Li, "Qing, can you tell me what's up with this 'Big Ear'? As a tour guide, you must know the reason."

Qing Li replied, "Of course, I know. This is one of the most talked about topics about Lap Nar. It's called the 'Ear of the Earth' because from satellite photos taken in outer space, Lap Nar looks like a human ear with an ear lobe, ear canal, and even an ear tip.

As for how this Ear of the Earth was formed, scientists have different opinions and ongoing debates. The mainstream view is currently that the shape of the big ear seen in satellite photos is actually the different color contours of the lakeshore salt crusts accumulated during different periods of stagnant water. The high concentration of salt in these crusts generates a reflective crystal substance that appears as a series of light-colored ear canal lines on satellite photos.

It is said that Lap Nar Lake used to be a huge lake with many rivers flowing into it, providing abundant water sources. However, several decades ago, the sudden population growth on both sides of the river caused a sharp decline in water flow, resulting in Lap Nar Lake's water level decreasing and eventually drying up, becoming a barren desert. So, the formation of this Big Ear is closely related to the drying process of Lap Nar Lake. By the way, does this Big Ear have anything to do with those 'alien signals'?"

"Ito said, 'Yes, it has a lot to do with it. It is this "big ear" that enables the mini radio telescope to detect those signals. In this process, the principles of bionics are playing a role.

As scientists deepen their research on the structures and functions of various organisms, they increasingly realize that in nature, the inherent body structures of various organisms are often much superior to any precision machinery manufactured to date. Biological structures are the result of millions of years of evolution before obtaining the most perfect design. Therefore, scientists always strive to imitate the structure and function of biological systems and apply these structures and functions to various advanced technological devices. For example, applying the shape and skin of dolphins to submarine design, manufacturing "fly-eye lens" by imitating the eyes of flies, and eliminating the wing vibration hazards of airplanes based on the principles of dragonfly wings and eyes.

And so it is with the human ear. Its structure is also very delicate. The reason why the human outer ear has evolved into its current shape is not because it looks better. It is because from a mechanical point of view, this shape can make the ear more effective in collecting various sound waves.

In fact, not only sound waves, but this shape of the outer ear is also applicable to collecting other waves, such as light waves, radio waves, gamma rays, etc. Because from a physics perspective, all wave characteristics are the same, and their principles of reflection, diffraction, superposition, coherence, and other phenomena are the same. It's just that, because the human ear only has eardrums that can receive sound waves, but no structures that can receive other waves, the ear can only hear sound waves and cannot "hear" other waves.

Returning to the topic just now. Due to natural reasons, the "big ear" formed by the Lap Nar Lake has the same shape as the human outer ear, and thus also has the same function as the human outer ear. Therefore, when the mini radio telescope is set in the center of the "big ear," i.e., in the "ear hole" position, the mini radio telescope and the "big ear" inadvertently form a bionic ear that can receive radio waves, and it is a super, super, super huge bionic ear. This giant bionic ear greatly enhances the mini radio telescope's ability to receive radio waves. Therefore, it is able to receive such a distant radio wave signal."

After listening to Ito's explanation, Qing Li roughly understood what was going on and couldn't help but exclaim, " I see. This coincidence is truly incredible."

Sabrin gave Ito a thumbs-up in praise, saying, "Ito, my friend, you're great! You are indeed an excellent physicist, and you immediately understood the mystery. I spent several days figuring it out."

At this moment, Ito's attention was fully drawn to the topic of extraterrestrial beings and he didn't care Sabrin 's praise. He anxiously asked Sabrin, "What happened next? Did you confirm that those 'fast radio bursts' were indeed signals from aliens?"

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Sabrin replied, "Later on, I took the observation data collected by the radio telescope and reached out to many astronomers. They all said that it was impossible to determine the specific source and cause of those 'fast radio bursts' based solely on the observation data. There are many possible causes for these bursts, including stellar explosions, supernova outbreaks, pulsars, magnetars, neutron stars, or supermassive black holes at the center of distant galaxies. And 'aliens sending signals' is considered the least likely possibility by most astronomers.

Moreover, those astronomers were mostly unfriendly to me. They didn't like us extraterrestrial enthusiasts and snubbed our ideas. They thought that I was trying to create a sensation and attract attention by insisting that 'fast radio bursts' were related to aliens. Some even suspected me of being a fraud and didn't even bother to look at the data I provided. Humph, they are all ignorant fools.

Luckily, later on, with the help of an American extraterrestrial enthusiast, I contacted Zoe, who works at the Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center at the Pennsylvania Technological University. Zoe did not reject my ideas and carefully read and analyzed the data I provided. She discovered something that other astronomers hadn't noticed. She told me that unlike the 'fast radio bursts' previously observed, the ones observed in the Lap Nar desert had very low frequencies, very long wavelengths, and repeated many times. They were a very rare type of 'fast radio bursts'. Although it couldn't be directly proven that they were signals from extraterrestrial beings, it could be determined that the source of these bursts was extremely powerful and that there was some kind of repeating pattern. Among all the radio bursts observed so far, this was the most likely one to be related to extraterrestrial civilizations.

Zoe's conclusion gave me great encouragement. So, I made up my mind to raise funds and organize an investigation team to go back to the Lap Nar desert and gather more data to support my ideas, no matter what."

However, the fundraising process was extremely difficult. Although many wealthy people initially showed strong interest in the project, few were willing to contribute real money. After all, there were countless similar projects searching for extraterrestrial life in the world, but none of them had really found any aliens. So, I traveled around for more than half a year, but still came up empty handed. It wasn't until I took a chance and submitted my application to the Redeemlola Company Foundation established by the “Prophet” (Jeremiah) that things finally turned around.

After the “Prophet” reviewed the information I provided, he contacted me directly and praised my dedication and effort in searching for extraterrestrial life. He also confidently told me that the "Fast Radio Burst" I observed in the Lap Nar region was a signal released by extraterrestrial life. Then, the “Prophet” generously gave me a large sum of money to organize a team to conduct further investigations in Lap Nar.

Guys, can you imagine how I felt at that time? I felt as lucky as if I had won the lottery jackpot. I have to say that the “Prophet” is the greatest and wisest person I have ever met. No one can match him, absolutely no one! Meeting someone like the “Prophet” was the luckiest thing in my life."

Ito turned around and asked Jeremiah in confusion, "I don't understand, how can you determine that those 'Fast Radio Bursts' are signals released by extraterrestrial life?"

Jeremiah said, "Because a week before I saw the information submitted by Sabrin, I received a research report about Raj from Professor Sethi. In that report, Professor Sethi mentioned that whenever Raj used 'divine power,' a special electromagnetic wave with extremely low frequency and long wavelength would be detected around his body. This phenomenon was very peculiar and left a deep impression on me.

So when I saw the observation data of those 'Fast Radio Bursts,' I immediately associated it with the special electromagnetic wave released by Raj's body. Therefore, I carefully compared the characteristics of the two and found that they were astonishingly similar. They are both plane waves and have exactly the same frequency, the only difference being the power (radiation energy intensity). Therefore, I believe that those 'Fast Radio Bursts' should come from extraterrestrial life with similar abilities to Raj.

Later, with the addition of Leina and Professor Fermi, who participated in the research on Raj's body, they uncovered the mysteries of Raj's body and found that the special electromagnetic wave released by Raj's body was closely related to 'conscious energy' and 'induction electromagnetic field.' Therefore, it can be further speculated that those extraterrestrial life forms, like Raj, are organisms that can use conscious energy."

Ito was shocked and said, "That means... that means that extraterrestrial life really exists, and they are contacting us through 'Fast Radio Bursts'!"

Jeremiah nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

Ito felt a tingling in his scalp, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He had been exposed to Japanese anime and sci-fi culture since he was young, he had always subconsciously believed in the existence of extraterrestrial life. However, he always felt that even if there were really aliens, it was a very ethereal thing, and had nothing to do with him. But now, he faintly realized that the entire Jeremiah team had come here at great cost to make contact with aliens, and he himself was among the participants. He couldn't help but feel nervous, even a little inexplicable fear.

Ito turned around and looked at Qing Li. From her expression, he could tell that she also had the same feelings. He then looked at Raj, but found that his state was completely different.

Unlike the anxious Ito and Qing Li, Raj accepted the fact that there were aliens very calmly. Since he gained his "Divine power", he has encountered many incredible things, and to him, aliens are not as strange as those things.

Raj lowered his head and looked at his body, and said to Jeremiah, "They sound like my kind. Do you think they might have a human-like physique like me?"

Jeremiah said, "In fact, we know very little about them so far. We don't know what form of life they exist in."

Sabrin interjected, "Maybe like Alien, or like ET, or like Yoda, or like Avatar..." He paused and laughed at Ito. "Maybe even like Ultraman."

Ito joked, "Ultraman is busy maintaining universal peace. He doesn't have time to send strange signals to the deserted deserts of Earth."

Jeremiah said, "Regarding those extraterrestrial creatures, after our research, we can only determine four points. First, like Raj, they can use conscious energy produced by nuclear fusion in their bodies. Second, those 'fast radio bursts' are not actively released by them, but are passive derivatives generated when they collectively use conscious energy on a large scale. Third, although it is not yet known why they engage in this activity of large-scale use of conscious energy, the 'fast radio bursts' generated by this activity have a clear periodic pattern. According to Sabrin's subsequent investigations in the Lap Nar area, they tend to be more intensive from early March to the end of June each year. Fourth, those 'fast radio bursts' generate extremely strong electromagnetic radiation after being amplified by Lap Nar's 'big ears' and pose serious harm to the human central nervous system, which may be why in the mysterious events in Lap Nar, those involved often do unusual things."

Qing Li said, "Are you saying that all those mysterious events in Lap Nar may have been caused by aliens, although they did not do it intentionally?"

Jeremiah said, "Yes."

Qing Li sighed, "Well, I bet that after you reveal this truth to the world, more and more tourists will come to explore the desolate Lap Nar. By then, this barren place will probably be more lively than the Egyptian pyramids."

Jeremiah said flatly, "It's possible. After all, tourists love to explore."

Ito asked Jeremiah, "You mentioned before that there is a way to increase Raj's stability of the induction gene. If I'm not mistaken, this method is related to those aliens, right? Because since those aliens have the same ability as Raj, they must also have similar induction genes."

Jeremiah said slowly, "You're right. This is the purpose of our trip. Raj's induction gene is the result of a genetic mutation caused by some unknown factor, and it formed in a very short time, so it is unstable. Those extraterrestrial creatures, like the creatures on Earth, likely formed those stable genes after tens of millions of years of evolution. So their induction gene structure must be much more stable than Raj's.

As long as we can understand the structure of the induction genes of those extraterrestrial creatures, Leina can make corresponding slight adjustments to Raj's induction genes to make them perfect. Then we can start our gene transfection plan."

Ito asked, "But how do we understand their genes? They are aliens 6,000 light years away, not our neighbors' cats and dogs."

Professor Fermi, who was sitting on the side, answered for Jeremiah, "First of all, the first step is to find their specific location. In fact, Zoe has conducted a detailed analysis of the observation data of those fast radio bursts in Lap Nar. She found that those fast radio bursts actually contain a lot of information. It's just that there are no advanced enough technical devices in the world to decode this information, so we can't know the content of the information. This situation is like us not understanding the language between animals. We know that the howl of a wolf, the subsonic of an elephant, and the ultrasound of a dolphin all convey certain information, but we have no way of knowing what they are saying.

Therefore, it is not that we do not have clues to look for those extraterrestrial creatures, but we just cannot decipher the clues.

Originally, technically speaking, this was indeed an unsolvable problem, and to breakthrough technically, it would probably take many years. However, fortunately, we have Raj. Based on our previous in-depth research on Raj's body, we believe that Raj can decode this information or "sense" it. Because in a sense, Raj and those extraterrestrial creatures are of the same kind, and the induction electromagnetic field in Raj's body will make a special reaction to those fast radio bursts.

Therefore, we plan to have Raj wear a brain-machine interface device to directly interact with those fast radio bursts when they reappear and shoot towards Lap Nar. This new device functions as a decoder for the human brain, able to convert all brain activity into readable information and transmit it to external terminal devices. With Raj wearing this brain-machine interface device, Leina could use the external terminal device it connects to, to see all of Raj's complex thoughts and feelings in his brain, even if those thoughts and feelings cannot be expressed in words. Through this approach, we can uncover the information mysteries within the fast radio bursts, which may contain clues about the specific location of those extraterrestrial creatures.

Then, in the second step, after locking onto the specific location of those extraterrestrial creatures, we can use your wormhole transmission technology to allow Raj's conscious energy to go to the planet where they are located and have a deep "communication" with them. By "communication," we mean that Raj would use his conscious energy to invade the bodies of those extraterrestrial creatures and, through the interaction of conscious energy, understand their physiological structure and their genetic structure. This way, we can obtain the information we need. Of course, since this step requires the use of a large hadron collider, we must go to the Swiss Rutherford Nuclear Research Center (RCNR) before we can truly implement it."

Ito suddenly realized and said, "That's why Jeremiah always talked about leveraging my technology. He wanted me to use the wormhole transmission technology to open a 'door' to the aliens' 'home.'"

Jeremiah said, "Yes. This is a crucial part of the whole plan."

Sabrin said to Ito, "What do you think, my friend? Isn't it exciting to hear about this unprecedented and great feat?"

Ito frowned and said, "I don't know. Is this really a good idea? After all, it is the first contact with extraterrestrial life, and no one knows what the consequences will be. Shouldn't we be more cautious? What if we open Pandora's box and create trouble for ourselves?"

Jeremiah said confidently, "Don't worry, there won't be any dangerous results. They are just a group of low-level intelligent beings."

Ito asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Jeremiah said, "The reason is simple. If they really are advanced intelligent beings, the smart ones would not release those signals into the vast universe rashly, because doing so would expose their location to other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, which could potentially lead to invasion. It is a very dangerous behavior. Moreover, even if they are willing to take the risk and communicate with other extraterrestrial civilizations, they don't need to use radio waves, which are so inefficient. As an advanced civilization, they will definitely have better options, such as laser communication with concentrated energy, large bandwidth, and good confidentiality. So, I don't think they would be advanced intelligent beings."

Ito pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Makes sense. It doesn't seem like something that highly intelligent aliens would do. Well, since that's the case, I will do my best to cooperate with you and open that interstellar gateway for you."

Sabrin leaned in next to Ito excitedly, hugging his shoulder and said, "That's it, my dear Ito. This is going to be very interesting, very, very interesting." Ito pushed away Sabrin, who reeked of alcohol, with some disgust.

Raj heard Jeremiah say that they wanted to "communicate with aliens," and as a young person, he found it very exciting and was already eager to try it. He asked Jeremiah anxiously, "So, when do I wear that brain-machine interface device to "sense" those aliens?"

Zoe answered for Jeremiah, "If I've calculated correctly, it will be in three days. Since the rotation of the Earth is periodic, the fast radio bursts that are directed towards the Lap Nar also show periodicity. Starting from March each year, fast radio bursts will gradually be directed towards Lap Nar. We had better arrive at Lap Nar before that day and be prepared."

Raj said, "Great. I'm looking forward to this work."

Jeremiah reminded Raj, "This is not an easy task. When you come into contact with fast radio bursts, you need to keep your mental state highly concentrated to resist strong electromagnetic radiation. Otherwise, your brain will feel extremely painful under the strong impact of electromagnetic radiation. So, before that, you need to rest well and maintain a good mental state."

Raj nodded and said, "Got it."

Jeremiah looked at his watch and said to the people sitting around the campfire, "Well, let's end the discussion here tonight. Everyone gets some rest. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

The team members listened and dispersed one by one, crawling into their own tents to sleep.

Jeremiah said, 'The reason is simple. If they are really advanced intelligent beings, smart enough, they would not release those signals into the vast universe rashly, because releasing those signals would expose their position to other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. This could potentially 'lead the wolf into the room' and bring about the invasion of other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, which is a very dangerous behavior. Moreover, even if they take risks and want to communicate with other extraterrestrial civilizations, they do not need to use such an inefficient method as radio waves. As an advanced civilization, they must have better options, such as laser communication with concentrated energy, large bandwidth, and good confidentiality. So, I don't think they would be advanced intelligent beings.'"

Ito thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense. This really doesn't seem like something advanced intelligent aliens would do. Well, since that's the case, I will do my best to cooperate with you and open that door to the stars for you."

Sabrin leaned over to Ito, excitedly hugging Ito's shoulder and saying, "That's it, old buddy Ito. This is going to be very interesting, very, very interesting." Ito pushed away the heavily alcoholic Sabrin with disgust.

Raj heard Jeremiah and the others say that they wanted him to "communicate and contact" with extraterrestrials, and with his youthful nature, he found this very exciting and was already eager to try it out. He asked Jeremiah with concern, "So, when do I put on that brain-machine interface device and go find those extraterrestrials?"

Zoe answered for Jeremiah, "If I haven't calculated wrong, it should be in three days. Since the movement of the Earth is periodic, the fast radio bursts from outside the Earth directed at the Lap Nar Lake also show periodicity. Starting from March each year, there will be fast radio bursts directed at Lap Nar Lake. We'd better reach Lap Nar Lake before that day and be prepared ahead of time."

Raj said, "Great. I am looking forward to this job."

Jeremiah reminded Raj, "This is not an easy task. When you come into contact with the fast radio bursts, you need to maintain a high degree of concentration to resist strong electromagnetic radiation. Otherwise, your brain will feel very painful under the impact of strong electromagnetic radiation. So, before this, you need to rest well and maintain a good mental state."

Raj nodded and said, "Got it."

Jeremiah looked at his watch and said to the people sitting around the campfire, "Okay, let's stop here tonight. Everyone rest. We will continue on our journey tomorrow morning."

The people heard this and scattered, crawling into their respective tents to sleep.
