Thus, Jeremiah's team split into two groups. Sabrin, Raj, Leina, Zoe and engineer Obama made up a small group with various equipment and took one of the off-road vehicles towards the center of the Lap Nar. The others drove two other off-road vehicles towards the ruins of the ancient country Louranchen in another direction.
Under Sabrin's guidance, the small group arrived smoothly at the center of the Lap Nar. After that, Sabrin, Leina, and Obama quickly installed and adjusted various equipment. When everything was ready, they attached the brain-machine interfaces device to Raj and waited quietly for the fast radio bursts to occur.
(In order to prevent electromagnetic radiation from the fast radio bursts from invading their brains, the others wore helmets specially designed to resist electromagnetic radiation to withstand the electromagnetic radiation.)
Leina asked Raj to close his eyes, concentrate, and ‘sense’ the changes in the surrounding environment. Raj followed obediently, full of curiosity and expectation.
However, two hours passed, and nothing happened...
Raj couldn't help but ask Zoe, "Will there really be a fast radio burst today?"
Zoe said, "I can't guarantee it. All I can say is that it's a high probability event."
Raj was a little disappointed and said, "So it's possible that they won't appear today."
Zoe shrugged and said, "Theoretically, you could say that."
Raj turned to Leina and asked, "Do I still have to keep up this state? It's tiring."
Leina had long lost patience and said to Raj, "Whatever. Even if you are distracted mentally and exposed to electromagnetic radiation, the worst consequence would be a severe headache."
Raj sighed with relief, relaxed his body, and said, "That's good."
Leina sat down next to Raj and said to Raj: "It's idle anyway, it's better for us to wait while playing games."
Raj agreed, "Well, that couldn't be better. " Then he and Leina started playing wildly.
Although the other three felt that it was not appropriate for Raj and Leina to play like this, they could also understand the couple, after all, it was really boring to wait like that. Sabrin also relaxed and took out a tin bottle from his pocket and started drinking leisurely.
As they were playing, Leina suddenly pointed to a pile of rocks about ten meters ahead of them and said, "Raj, two days ago when you used your 'divine power' to chase after the bad guys, it was really cool and manly. I liked it. Now show me your 'divine power' again and smash that pile of rocks for me."
Raj hesitated and didn't do anything.
Leina then pleaded with Raj in a cute and coquettish way, "Baby, please, just do it once for me. I want to see how handsome you look."
Seeing Leina's adorable plea, Raj couldn't help but raise his hand and unleash his "divine power," preparing to shoot it at the pile of rocks. He knew that once his "divine power" hit the rocks, they would shatter instantly, which would surely win Leina's heart.
But then he thought about it and suddenly put his hand down, shaking his head at Leina and saying, "No, I can't do that. I can't misuse my 'divine power,' otherwise Lord Shiva will blame me."
Unhappy with Raj's response, Leina said, "Hmph, you always do this. It's really dull. Can't you make an exception for your lovely girlfriend just once? Haven't you seen the movie 'Avatar,' where the male lead betrayed all humans and even fought against the entire human race for his alien girlfriend? That kind of daring behavior is the most romantic thing a girl likes, you know?"
Raj scratched his head and said helplessly, "Sorry, I really can't do that. Also, I haven't seen 'Avatar'."
Leina pouted and said, "You really are a foolish boyfriend. I must have been bewitched by the electromagnetic radiation from the aliens to be so infatuated with a guy like you who doesn't understand romance."
Raj sat awkwardly, not saying a word. He wanted to appease Leina, but he didn't know what to say.
Watching this scene, Sabrin praised Raj loudly, "Raj, my little Raj, you're really impressive. Earlier, I thought you were just a kid who happened to get some kind of magical power, but now I completely changed my mind about you. You have principles, and your willpower is stronger than us adults. If I were you, I couldn't resist temptation and would do everything they asked me to. You're such a good kid, and being our " Original Divine Seed " really suits you."
Confused, Raj asked, " Original Divine Seed? What's the Original Divine Seed?"
For some reason, Jeremiah didn't tell Raj much about the beliefs of the Cosmic Worship Religion. Jeremiah never mentioned the term Original Divine Seed " to Raj himself, nor did he allow the faithful in the team to mention it to Raj.
Under the influence of alcohol, Sabrin slipped up and accidentally mentioned the term. When Raj asked him, he realized he had made a mistake and panicked. He quickly changed his story and said, " Original Divine Seed... I never said that word. You must have misheard me."
Raj insisted, "No, I heard you say Original Divine Seed ' just now. I'm not mistaken."
Sabrin tried to explain, "Really? Then I must have misspoken. You know, my English accent has never been very good. I actually meant... I meant..."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
While Sabrin was desperately searching for words to deceive Raj, Raj suddenly screamed in agony, convulsing and falling to the ground in pain.
Zoe noticed, and shouted loudly, "It's here. The fast radio bursts are coming!"
Leina, who had been angry just seconds ago, immediately joined Sabrin to help Raj up, yelling, "Come on, sweetheart, concentrate. Hurry, concentrate..."
Engineer Obama rushed to the display screen connected to the brain-machine interface device and checked the data.
Raj was in a daze. At the moment he ‘sensed’ the fast radio burst, he felt like he had been electrocuted - his whole body was numb and in pain, especially his head, which felt like it had been struck hard. At the same time, a series of strange and indescribable images flashed through his mind, making his thoughts muddled. It took him a few seconds to vaguely hear Leina's shout in his ear.
Raj struggled to pull himself together and his mind gradually became clearer. Then, following Leina's prompts, he closed his eyes, concentrated, and waited for the next fast radio burst to come.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, another fast radio burst appeared. Because Raj was prepared this time, he didn't feel as uncomfortable even though the electromagnetic radiation shock caused by the fast radio burst was still present. The images that flashed through his mind were also clearer and more organized than the previous one.
During the next hour, fast radio bursts continued to appear one after another, for a total of eight times. Although the images they conveyed to Raj's mind were different, they were clearly related to each other.
Afterwards, the fast radio bursts suddenly stopped. Raj waited for half an hour but didn't ‘sense’ them again. Zoe said, "It looks like that's all for today. They don't continue to appear all the time."
Obama pointed to the display screen and said, "We've collected a lot of data today. I think that should be enough and we can stop now."
Leina quickly helped Raj remove the brain-machine interface device and said to him, "It's all over now, you did well."
Raj sat slumped on a rock and said weakly, "I... I saw..."
Leina interrupted, "Don't talk. Even if you don't say anything, I know what you want to express. That equipment will display everything in your mind. You are very weak now and need to rest. Let them handle the rest."
Obama said, "That's right. Data analysis will soon provide results and we will know what you ‘sensed’."
Raj nodded his head and then slowly closed his eyes and rested quietly. Leina took care of him by his side.
After a moment, Obama called out loudly, "It's done, come and take a look."
Sabrin, Zoe, and Leina immediately walked over to the display screen, gathered around it to watch the content.
On the screen, many lines of text appeared, which read: "They are not intelligent beings, their thoughts are simple and pure, like cows and sheep in our world...
Their bodies are huge, taller than skyscraper, and wider than the vast Ganges. Their bodies are shiny, even more dazzling than car headlights. Their bodies have no fixed form and edge, and seem like gas, constantly changing...
They keep eating, non-stop... and can eat anything as if everything on their planet can become their food...
After eating, they become very excited. Then, they have an irresistible impulse to release their "divine power" - the same "divine power" as mine, which gathers together into a strong, dazzling energy and breaks through the sky, shooting towards the boundless universe...
They need to release all their "divine power" before gradually returning to calmness. Then, they start eating again...
Their sky is not the same as ours, completely dark without clouds. There are eight suns in their sky, three on the left and five on the right. Among them, the two in the center are particularly large, about the same size as our sun. The other six are all small..."
After reading the words on the screen, the four of them were excited. What Raj "saw" proved their previous conjecture. This is the first time in human history that detailed evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life has been obtained.
Zoe said excitedly: "This information is very useful, as long as I match this information with the data of NASA data centers, I can quickly find the specific location of that planet."
Then, she took out a laptop and performing some operations on it. The other three did not dare to disturb her, patiently waiting for the results of her analysis.
It didn't take long for the analysis to be completed. Zoe exclaimed, "Found it, this is it! It is an asteroid in a binary system about 6500 light-years from Earth, permanently numbered 577256. "
Sabrin asked, "Are you sure? "
Zoe nodded and said, 'Absolutely certain. I searched the entire NASA database and found that it is the only celestial body that matches the information described by Raj.
The binary star system (a celestial system consisting of two stars) where this asteroid is located is in the stellar cluster of the Great Nebula of Columbus, and because the stars are dense in that area, eight 'suns' can appear in the sky at the same time. Furthermore, through mathematical modeling, it can be confirmed that these 'suns' will be arranged in the same way as the picture Raj "saw" at a certain moment.
In addition, according to Raj's description, the sky on the asteroid where the extraterrestrial life exists is pitch black even on a sunny day, indicating that the asteroid has no atmosphere. Otherwise, the sky would show other colors due to the scattering of light by gas molecules. This feature is also consistent with the characteristics of asteroid number 577256.
Moreover, there exists an obvious functional relationship between its periodic changes in relative position with the Earth and the periodic appearance of fast radio bursts in the Lap Nar. Therefore, I can guarantee one hundred percent that this asteroid is the asteroid we are looking for. "
Sabrin cheered, dancing and waving his arms, 'Wonderful! This is great! Guys, we did it! We found where the aliens are! We found the aliens... "
Everyone present was overjoyed, just like Sabrin. Even Raj, who was exhausted, couldn't help but sit up and show a happy smile.
