Chapter 21 Amesbury’s response(2/2)
However, his fantasy soon came to an abrupt end!
Less than 2 hours after the "Summer Solstice" landed, the images returned by all the detector's cameras suddenly emitted a flash of light, followed by a screen full of "snowflakes"!
Li Zhanxiong stood up suddenly.
The control center suddenly fell into a commotion. People nervously tried to remotely control the "Summer Solstice" camera to resume work, but it was in vain...
After another ten minutes, people discovered that all radio communications between Base X and the "Xiazhi" and "Fuxi" were also interrupted...
The control center is in chaos...
"The information conveyed to us by this 'crop circle' is the same as that expressed by the set of binary codes!" Martin showed the schematic diagram of the crop circle he drew to Ding Yushi and Gao Tianjun and said with certainty.
"First of all, this is a map of the distribution of planets in the solar system. Please pay attention: in the middle of this large, dot-shaped ring, there are several circles of different sizes, representing the sun, mercury, and planets respectively.
Venus, Earth and Mars, and the ring itself represents the asteroid belt, which is why it is arranged in a point shape; there are several circles of different sizes outside it, among which, from the ring
The second one from the outside looks like the mathematical symbol 'Φ' lying horizontally, which obviously represents Saturn!"
Gao Tianjun took out the photo of the crop circle that Easton got, compared it with Martin's diagram, and nodded in approval.
"The picture that Eisen drew based on his recollection of the dream," Martin continued, "missed the straight line in the middle of the circle, so I was not sure at the time that it represented the distribution of planets in the solar system. Now I see it for real
'Crop circle' photo, then, I believe there is no other explanation other than this!"
"I agree with your analysis of these patterns. But, how do they relate to the meaning of binary codes?" Gao Tianjun asked.
"The key is here!" Martin pointed to a small triangle pattern next to the "Φ" figure. "This small triangle only appears here in the entire 'crop circle'. I judge that it should express a warning to us. Just as
The common warning signs on our planet are the same. If this guess is true, and then connect the time when this crop circle and binary code appeared with your ongoing Saturn exploration plan, this warning is obviously aimed at your exploration spacecraft!"

Faced with the confidence of an internationally renowned symbol deciphering expert, Gao Tianjun still didn't want to believe this explanation. He was silent for a moment and hesitantly asked Ding Yushi: "Xiao Ding, what do you think?"
"I think Dr. Martin is right..." Ding Yushi seemed to have something to say, hesitating.
Gao Tianjun saw a hint of uneasiness in Ding Yushi's eyes. He knew what she was worried about - this was exactly what he was worried about!
After Ding Yushi and Martin went out, Gao Tianjun sat alone in the office and thought for a long time. Finally, he picked up the phone and cautiously reported the matter to Li Zhanxiong.
After listening to Gao Tianjun's report, Li Zhanxiong was silent for 10 seconds before he uttered a few words: "The spacecraft has lost contact!"
Although Li Zhanxiong's voice was very low, it was like a thunder exploded in Gao Tianjun's ears. His brain almost stood on end!
"The spaceship is lost?!"
"Early this morning, all radio communications between the base control center and the 'Fuxi' and 'Xiazhi' were interrupted!" Li Zhanxiong said seriously.
"Ah?! Is that warning true?!"
"It's still unclear why the signal was interrupted, and the control center is still investigating. Maybe...it cannot be ruled out that it is related to the warning message received by you!"
Li Zhanxiong specifically told Gao Tianjun that the news of the lost contact between the "Fuxi" and the "Xiazhi" is currently sealed to the outside world and cannot be leaked. He instructed "601" to combine the hypnosis test on Eisen with cracking crop circles and binary codes.
