Chapter 319: Live Chicken Experiment
Mo Li tried her best to explain but this was so detached from everyday life that not many people could understand her. Even Xiao Rui barely grasped the concept.
“Boss, Mo Li said it was the cosmic noise, so why did you bring up the microwave?” This was the first time Si Lin heard these terms before and she couldn’t imagine a connection between the two.
Mo Li explained, “To put it in layman’s terms, sometimes when you tune the television to a channel where there is no nearby broadcaster, you might get a lot of static. The static, or microwave background noise, can be the afterglow of the big bang. Of course, the background noise can be duplicated by man as well.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXiao Rui turned to Mo Li. “Do you mean the sparks that we heard earlier might contain meaningful messages?”
Mo Li was surprised that Xiao Rui finally got it this time. “Indeed, if you decrypt the received microwave according to a graphical password, you will get a string of numbers. This string of numbers can be cross-calculated using a special algorithm, to get letters. Then they can be strung into a sentence. Of course, we’ll have to know that special algorithm to do that.”
Si Lin nodded. Even though she didn’t really understand what was happening.
“I didn’t know the special algorithm, I didn’t even know if the microwave background has meaning or not. However, for fun, I have collected a large of data. I puzzled over it as a way to pass time and accidentally, I discovered a message.” Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui and said, “The message was, ‘Be careful of electricity’. Perhaps a message was sent to someone at this camp to not get near the power box? After all, there was the incident with the downed power line.”
Everyone was silent.
Xiao Rui noticed Lu Xuan who was dozing off and he asked with slight dissatisfaction, “So what is the autopsy result?” action
Lu Xuan woke up and sighed. “Do you know how busy I was back at Pearl River? And now you drag me out to this unknown island to look at meatballs?”
“Meatballs? Do you have to use that description?” Kang Zhi poked his head through the door. “I just had meatball yesterday!”
“If you’re done with your work, then come back to take your seat.” Xiao Rui glanced at Kang Zhi before turning back to Lu Xuan and Mo Li.
“Lin An’s body is like shredded meat, there’s no way to piece him back together. So it is impossible to tell his fatal wound. We can’t even tell if he was alive or dead when he fell into the chipper. We can’t really see much from the things that remained of him.” Lu Xuan shrugged. “But based on DNA comparison, the victim is indeed Lin An. Here’s the report, take a gander at it!”
“Find two chickens, one alive and one dead. We can simulate the state of the victim when he entered the shredder. From the blood spatter, we can tell if he was alive or dead.” Mo Li handed the job over to Kang Zhi. Kang Zhi’s face paled. “Miss Mo Li! You’re planning to throw a live chicken into the shredder?!”
“Of course, how else are we going to determine the victim’s time of death and state?” Lu Xuan would have used the same method so he was not shocked when Mo Li suggested this.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKang Zhi felt sorry for the poor chickens but since it would help the case, he went out to search for the unlucky volunteers.
“What you said about the cosmic noise. Is that reliable?” Xiao Rui asked Mo Li.
What Mo Li said sounded more like something from a sci-fi flick. Plus it didn’t really help the case.
“Well, it depends on whether you believe it or not. There are several psychiatric experts who claim that they are real. Of course, I’m not saying I agree wholeheartedly with them. From the perspective of theoretical physics, this is a study of hypothetical. The researchers look for evidence to verify the different algorithms and from there form the rule. After we get the surface rule, we have to relate it to other microwave backgrounds to find validation. Finally, through generalization, we will come to a conventional, logical system. The system will help parse the amount of data and the chaotic will appear systematic.”
The officers looked at Mo Li in admiration. They couldn’t believe the things that the girl had just explained. She was a genius!
Meanwhile, Mo Li started to ponder why she had phrased things the way she did. Cosmic noise is not mysterious. It is the afterglow of the big bang. The universe has expanded for 13.5 billion years and the expansion causes microwave background or cosmic noise. They all have a scientific explanation.
“The chickens are here!” Kang Zhi entered the tent with 2 large cages. Mo Li and Lu Xuan shared a look before they walked out to start the experiment.
