Chapter 9 Two Hundred Bytes

Light intensity detectors are instruments used to detect light intensity. According to common sense, it is not strange to install light intensity detectors on a device that simulates the environment of the sun. After all, the luminosity of the sun's surface is very strong, and the change in light intensity also means changes in some physical processes, so the existence of light intensity detectors is very necessary.

But it is a bit strange for a light intensity detector with such a high detection accuracy. Zhao Huasheng looked at the parameters in the instrument, calculated it in his mind and came to the conclusion.

The conclusion is that this light intensity detector can detect the luminosity changes of sunlight even if it is only equivalent to a candle. That is to say, even if the sun's luminosity weakens the luminosity of a candle, this instrument can detect it.

What is this concept? On the earth 150 million kilometers away from the sun, the sun is still dazzling and cannot be seen directly. So how terrifying can the intensity of the sunlight be on the surface of the sun? And such a terrifying luminosity can be detected by just reducing the luminosity of a candle. How powerful is the performance of this instrument?

It's unimaginable. What Zhao Huasheng even more doesn't understand is what Li Qi wants to do if he installs such a terrifying instrument here?

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything. Maybe the psychology research team can know what Li Qi is going to do." Wang Tang said first as if he saw the question in Zhao Huasheng's eyes.

"Maybe... the changes in the radiation intensity of the sun at this moment are related to the luminosity changes on the surface of the sun? When all of us don't know the solar crisis, Li Qi noticed this by measuring the faint luminosity changes on the surface of the sun? What is the physical mechanism behind this and what does the luminosity change mean? Is anyone in the scientific research department doing this aspect of research?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

"I have reported the relevant situation, and someone will soon take over the relevant research to evaluate the physical situation that a slight change in the sun's luminance may mean before the solar crisis." Wang Tang said, "After all, such an optical detector with high precision beyond imagination hints many things. But... don't have too much hope."

"After all, this instrument is just a simulation of the environment on the surface of the sun, and it is not a real solar environment inside. So the information obtained from here is limited in effect." Wang Tang took another puff of cigarettes, "I guess this matter will not be helpful to the research of the sun in the physical world. Its function is only to help you solve the puzzles about Li Qi."

"I understand." Zhao Huasheng said, "Based on the existing information, we know that Director Li Qi had known about the solar crisis at least a year ago. Also a year ago, Director Li Qi began to pay attention to the faint light changes on the surface of the sun. So we have reason to think that there is some correlation between these two things. I will think about this carefully."

"Very good." Wang Tang stood up, bounced the cigarette butt in his hand out, and patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder: "Young man, do it well, I can help you with anything. Come and find me at any time."

As he said that, Wang Tang walked towards the door and left here. After Wang Tang's figure disappeared, his words floated over: "The information you need will be faxed to you later. The person next to you has my contact information."

Meng Zhuo said indifferently: "I have contact information from anyone in the world. As long as you need it, I can provide it to you at any time."

Meng Zhuo's status seems to be very high, and his abilities seem to be described as vast powers. Let people like Meng Zhuo follow him for twenty-four hours... Zhao Huasheng once again realized the degree of importance that the old man attached to him.

"I hope I won't let them down." Zhao Huasheng sighed secretly and turned around: "Let's go, we'll go back too."

In this trip to the Institute of Stellar Physics, Zhao Huasheng did not gain anything except for some more doubts. But having doubts is also a good thing. If there are doubts, then there will be progress. What you fear the most is that it is completely blank and you don’t know how to start.

Later, the information Zhao Huasheng needed was transmitted through the computer.

There is nothing in the first data that deserves attention from Zhao Huasheng. It contains some research materials on the surface environment of the sun. These materials may be very useful in scientific research, but they are different for Zhao Huasheng.

What caught Zhao Huasheng's attention was the second piece of information.

"We checked various electronic devices that Li Qi used during his lifetime, including computers, mobile phones, various network equipment, storage devices, etc. He found that basically no information was left in these things. It was obvious that Li Qi completely cleaned up these things before he died, which made us unable to restore the information from them. But perhaps it was Li Qi's negligence or our luck. Through investigation, we found a hard disk that Li Qi had used that had been destroyed in the garbage collection center."

"This hard drive has suffered serious physical damage. Generally speaking, we cannot restore data from it, but researchers from the Institute of Computational Sciences think they can try it. So we handed over the hard drive to them. After working for two days and two nights, they finally restored about 200 bytes of data."

The byte symbol is Byte, 1024Byte is equal to 1KB, 1024KB is equal to 1M, and 1024M is equal to 1G. Two hundred bytes of data is probably equivalent to the size of a text document with no more than 500 words.

This hard disk is a high-speed hard disk of 1,000 G. It may store a lot of data that is crucial to the entire human world and the entire earth, but those important data are damaged and restored are only data of less than 500 words.

"From the superficial meaning, this seems to be a dialogue record between Li Qi and someone, but we cannot know who this person is, nor do we know what the specific connotation of this record has, nor do we know whether these records will be helpful to your work. The data restored is as follows."

"The primary task of life is survival. The essence of survival is to constantly obtain energy from the outside world to maintain its own operation. When it is inevitable that it will die, living organisms tend to retain their own information. Specifically, they are passed on their own genes through reproduction."

"I agree with your definition of reproduction in the second half of this passage, but I don't agree with your first half of this passage."

"Why?"

"The primary task of life is survival, but the essence of survival is not to obtain energy from the outside world to maintain its own operation, but to discharge its own energy to the outside world to maintain its own operation."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the living organism itself has extremely high energy intensity."

This passage ends here. Perhaps it has some more text, but the contents disappeared from the world with the damaged hard drive.

In addition to this record, there is a second record that was restored. But this record is much shorter and the content is even more inexplicable.

"Can you come out?"

"No, it's very cold outside."

"What happens if it's very cold?"

"I'll hold on to death."

There are only these two records in total. After reading these two records, Zhao Huasheng put down the information in his hand, walked to the window again, opened the window, and let the cool summer breeze blow on his body. He looked at the people walking in a hurry under the building, and fell into deep thought again.

"Does the living organisms have extremely high energy intensity?" Zhao Huasheng murmured to himself, "In comparison, it can be said that the energy intensity of the living organisms is very high, but they can maintain survival by releasing energy? Humans, including other animals, do lose their energy at all times, but can this be related to the essence of survival?"

"It's very cold outside. Is there a necessary causal connection between "suffering to death"? Who is Li Qi talking to? What kind of role does this mysterious person who talks to Li Qi play in this incident?"

Zhao Huasheng felt that he seemed to be trapped in a logical circle. Since he started taking over this matter, everything he encountered was so weird, and there seemed to be some vague connection between many strange things. However, Zhao Huasheng could never figure out what the connection between these strange events was.

Zhao Huasheng knew that he was missing a key, a certain key point. As long as he could figure this key point out, everything would be linked together and all doubts would be solved. Through Li Qi's only knowledge of leaving the only relics to himself, this key is only owned by himself. But, what is it and what is it?!

A piece of paper that I left for myself specifically? The conversation I had when I was drinking with me?

What is the connection between them?

Zhao Huasheng couldn't figure it out, no matter how he couldn't figure it out. Zhao Huasheng's eyes began to become scattered when he looked out the window. Zhao Huasheng's hands holding the railing began to protrude blue veins, and even his body began to tremble.

At this moment, Zhao Huasheng even resented Li Qi, resenting why Li Qi pressed all these doubts on him, why can't he tell all this clearly, but instead he had to try his best to solve the puzzle. It would be fine if he could solve it, but he had no clue.

Zhao Huasheng tried hard to suppress his inner irritability, and it took him a long time to calm down. The weather became darker and colder.

Zhao Huasheng sighed, closed the window, walked out of the room, and shouted at the empty living room: "I want to go down to have a meal, are you going?"

Meng Zhuo walked out of the balcony again: "Okay."
