It's been so long,
19
00:02:05,540 --> 00:02:09,340
yet Ye Wenjie still hasn't made
much of a breakthrough.
20
00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:11,140
It's a brand-new topic.
21
00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:15,700
The fact that she's taking on it
counts for something.
22
00:02:17,620 --> 00:02:19,660
I can't agree more.
23
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:24,260
It's highly theoretical
and proves the researcher's expertise,
24
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:27,060
or should we say...
25
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:29,060
proficiency.
26
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:32,580
I'll give her everything she needs
to carry on with her work
27
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:36,460
so that we won't
let our superiors down.
28
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:41,300
This research means a lot to us, too.
29
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:43,220
Us?
30
00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:45,860
It's you who want her to continue.
31
00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:51,660
Weining, I hate to say this,
but you're less insightful.
32
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:55,940
Now that the chaos in society
is finally subsiding,
33
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:59,980
new requirements are set
for cadres like us.
34
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:04,940
We need to be mature politically
and accomplished academically.
35
00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:07,740
You don't want to
be stuck here forever, do you?
36
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,860
Think about your future.
37
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:14,820
We've been helping Ye Wenjie
with her research.
38
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:20,140
If she makes a breakthrough,
the credit will go to us, too.
39
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:26,260
I didn't think of that as long as
she can carry on her research.
40
00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:27,380
Sure. Of course.
41
00:03:27,380 --> 00:03:28,940
That makes the two of us.
42
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:31,260
Without this research project,
43
00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:35,500
she wouldn't have indulged
in the latest academic resources.
44
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:39,860
I'm envious.
45
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:01,700
Hello. It's Ye Wenjie of Monitoring.
46
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:03,940
Contact the National
Astronomical Observatories
47
00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:09,140
for Earth's and Jupiter's positions
on June 12th and July 2nd.
48
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:51,820
I know I might've bored you,
49
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:55,660
but I feel necessary
to tell you every word of it.
50
00:07:55,660 --> 00:07:59,940
Is such a gap related to the
sudden fluctuation of solar radiation?
51
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:02,660
I had my guess back in the day.
52
00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:04,140
As you all know,
53
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:07,420
energy produced by reaction
within the solar core
54
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:11,980
is initially in the form
of high-energy gamma rays.
55
00:08:11,980 --> 00:08:16,380
The radiation zone
absorbs these high-energy photons
56
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:18,660
and re-emits them.
57
00:08:18,660 --> 00:08:23,540
Such successive absorption
and re-emission go quite a long way
58
00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:27,860
as a photon might take 1,000 years
to leave the sun.
59
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:29,020
That's true.
60
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:34,820
After this lengthy process,
gamma rays become X-rays,
61
00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:37,980
extreme ultraviolet, ultraviolet,
62
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:42,380
then eventually turn into visible light
and other forms of radiation.
63
00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:45,180
The frequencies drop gradually.
64
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:49,660
You can think of it as a slow slope.
65
00:08:49,660 --> 00:08:51,100
However,
66
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:56,140
my model of the sun
led to a new result.
67
00:08:56,140 --> 00:08:59,580
As radiation dropped through
different frequencies,
68
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,420
there were boundaries
between the subzones.
69
00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:06,580
It's like going down the stairs.
70
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:11,260
As energy crossed each boundary,
from inside out,
71
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:16,100
the radiation frequency
stepped down a grade sharply.
72
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:19,260
So the change in frequencies
isn't gradual?
73
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:21,460
That differs from the traditional view.
74
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,220
Indeed.
75
00:09:23,220 --> 00:09:27,260
I also found
that these boundaries
76
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:30,740
would reflect radiation
from the lower-frequency side,
77
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:34,340
and I called them "energy mirrors".
78
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:38,020
How accurate and fascinating!
79
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:43,500
One of the most incredible features
of those boundary surfaces
80
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,540
is what I call "gain reflectivity".
81
00:09:47,540 --> 00:09:51,660
My theory is
the energy mirrors not only
82
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:54,340
reflect radiation
from the lower-frequency side
83
00:09:54,340 --> 00:09:56,860
but also amplify it.
84
00:09:56,860 --> 00:09:59,300
All the mysterious sudden fluctuations
85
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:02,220
we observed in narrow frequency bands
86
00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:07,220
were the result of other radiation
from space being amplified.
87
00:10:07,220 --> 00:10:12,620
That was why we couldn't see any
disturbances on the surface of the sun.
88
00:10:12,620 --> 00:10:15,780
But that characteristic was bizarre
89
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:18,860
and hard to prove
90
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:24,220
until I discovered
that critical time-frame:
91
00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:30,100
16 minutes and 42 seconds.
92
00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:41,820
You skipped meals again?
93
00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:49,660
Here's Jupiter's precession
on June 12th and July 2nd,
94
00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:52,540
and solar interference
on Earth on those days
95
00:10:52,540 --> 00:10:56,740
from the National
Astronomical Observatories.
96
00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:00,700
Jupiter is here, and Earth and the sun.
97
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:02,700
Based on
Earth's and Jupiter's positions then,
98
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:06,180
I calculated the distances
between the three.
99
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:09,660
The time for electromagnetic radiation
to reach Earth from Jupiter
100
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:11,780
is approximately 2,099 seconds.
101
00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:16,060
From Jupiter to the sun
and the sun to Earth,
102
00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:18,420
that's about 3,101 seconds.
103
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:24,420
The difference is 1,002 seconds
or 16 minutes and 42 seconds.
104
00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:26,380
So?
105
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:30,220
My guess is after the Jovian
radio outbursts reached the sun,
106
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:34,820
they were re-emitted after being amplified
about 100 million times.
107
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:38,420
Earth received both sets of emissions
before and after the amplification,
108
00:11:38,420 --> 00:11:42,660
separated by 16 minutes and 42 seconds.
109
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:47,340
The sun is an amplifier for radio waves!
110
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,580
But it's receiving electromagnetic radiation
from space all the time,
111
00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:11,820
including that from the Earth.
112
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:13,940
Why were only some
of the waves amplified?
113
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:18,300
Because of the shielding effect
of the solar convection zone.
114
00:12:28,620 --> 00:12:30,060
Situated outside the radiation zone,
115
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:32,860
it's the outermost
liquid layer of the sun.
116
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:38,540
The radio waves from space
117
00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:42,740
penetrate the convection zone first
to reach the radiation zone,
118
00:12:42,740 --> 00:12:44,060
where they'll be amplified
119
00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:47,700
before being reflected back out.
120
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,660
So the waves have to be more powerful
than a threshold value.
121
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:55,460
The vast majority
of Earth-based radio sources
122
00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:59,620
can't cross this threshold,
123
00:12:59,620 --> 00:13:03,340
but the Jovian radio outburst
crossed it.
124
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:13,140
Red Coast's maximum transmission power
125
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:16,500
exceeds it, too.
126
00:13:36,940 --> 00:13:39,380
Will this solve solar interference?
127
00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:41,780
Not really,
128
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:44,860
but an exciting possibility ensues.
129
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:48,860
That humans can use the sun
as a super-antenna,
130
00:13:48,860 --> 00:13:52,700
and through it,
broadcast radio waves to the universe.
131
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,460
The waves will be sent
with the power of the sun,
132
00:13:55,460 --> 00:14:00,100
hundreds of millions of times greater
than the total usable transmission power
133
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:03,260
on Earth.
134
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:08,660
Are you saying
135
00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:12,140
Earth can transmit
136
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:15,260
at the level of
a Kardashev Type II civilization?
137
00:14:15,260 --> 00:14:17,180
Correct.
138
00:14:17,180 --> 00:14:19,740
Once we compare the waveforms
of the two Jovian radio outbursts
139
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:21,820
with the waveforms of the sun outages
140
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:24,860
received by Red Coast
and they're a match,
141
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:28,780
that'll be
further confirmation of my theory.
142
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:31,740
What do you need?
143
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:35,220
Contact Dr. Harry Peterson
to obtain the waveform records
144
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:38,380
of the two Jovian radio outbursts.
145
00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:51,020
That won't be easy.
146
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:54,340
For one, we lack a proper channel,
and two,
147
00:14:56,260 --> 00:14:58,940
we need approval at all levels.
148
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:01,500
Any lapse
149
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:04,260
could lead to treason.
150
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:07,900
I'll see what I can do.
151
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:26,940
There's a...
152
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:30,980
There's a shortcut.
153
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:33,580
I'm listening.
154
00:15:35,140 --> 00:15:39,900
Red Coast can transmit radio waves
directly at the sun
155
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:42,860
at a power level
above the threshold value.
156
00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:44,420
No way.
157
00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:45,980
That's never been done in our country.
158
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:47,620
I doubt Political Commissar Lei
would agree to it.
159
00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:50,820
I'll tell him
it's for my solar research.
160
00:15:50,820 --> 00:15:54,140
Use our transmission system
as a solar exploration radar
161
00:15:54,140 --> 00:15:56,460
whose echoes can be analyzed
to obtain
162
00:15:56,460 --> 00:15:59,940
some information about solar radiation.
163
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:02,260
There are such precedents in the West.
164
00:16:02,260 --> 00:16:04,060
In fact, it's technically easier
165
00:16:04,060 --> 00:16:06,780
than the radar exploration
of terrestrial planets
166
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:10,140
already being conducted.
167
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:14,340
Given Lei's technical background,
he won't be fooled.
168
00:16:19,540 --> 00:16:22,420
It's worth a try.
169
00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:29,340
Ye Wenjie,
you're getting out of line!
170
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:31,420
Theoretical research is enough.
171
00:16:31,420 --> 00:16:35,020
Why go to such great lengths?
172
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,420
Lei, as you know,
173
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:43,500
all major discoveries
must be confirmed by experiments.
174
00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:46,540
If her theory is proven right,
175
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,860
that'll be unprecedented!
176
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:53,900
Just this once,
177
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:55,180
please.
178
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:56,180
Yes.
179
00:16:56,180 --> 00:16:57,620
Try it once.
180
00:16:57,620 --> 00:16:58,940
It's not too difficult.
181
00:16:58,940 --> 00:17:00,580
Receiving the echoes after transmission
182
00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:01,340
will only take...
183
00:17:01,340 --> 00:17:03,020
A little over ten minutes.
184
00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:03,780
That's right!
185
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:06,820
Enough for Red Coast to switch from
transmission to monitoring mode.
186
00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:10,660
I know it's feasible
technically and operationally.
187
00:17:13,620 --> 00:17:17,500
You just don't get it, do you?
188
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:20,620
Aiming a super-powerful
radio beam at the sun?
189
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:24,740
Have you thought about
the potential danger and risk?
190
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:39,100
I have to review every report
before handing it in.
191
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:44,380
Everything related to the sun
must be double-checked!
192
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:50,620
There's uncertainty
about this experiment.
193
00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:56,900
Great uncertainty,
you know?
194
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:00,300
Keep working on solar interference.
195
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,580
Forget about this experiment.
196
00:19:04,180 --> 00:19:07,020
Political Commissar Lei's refusal
197
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:10,100
is beyond reasonable.
198
00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:14,500
I'm sorry.
199
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,420
I wish I could help.
200
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:22,780
It's for your sake.
201
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,940
Let it go.
202
00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:26,420
Engineer Zhang,
something is wrong again.
203
00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:29,100
It keeps happening.
204
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:34,340
I just finished the overhaul yesterday.
205
00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:39,020
Not again!
206
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:42,060
I'll do it.
207
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:44,940
Thank you,
208
00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:52,620
Wenjie.
209
00:26:56,980 --> 00:26:59,700
Hey...
210
00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:30,060
Tell...
211
00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:34,780
Tell the base station
to monitor the 12,000 MHz channel.
212
00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:36,060
What are we receiving?
213
00:27:36,060 --> 00:27:38,660
Maybe we'll get something.
214
00:27:38,660 --> 00:27:42,180
There's no time to change the system
to monitoring mode.
215
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:00,540
This is Yang Weining.
216
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:03,460
Monitor the 12,000 MHz channel.
217
00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:06,220
Keep me updated.
218
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:11,020
Wait!
219
00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:13,340
Given the low sensitivity of that radio,
220
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:17,500
we can only receive signals
from extraterrestrials on the moon.
221
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:24,460
The signal comes from...
222
00:28:26,660 --> 00:28:29,500
the sun.
223
00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:48,660
You used Red Coast
to send a signal to the sun?
224
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:02,020
Do not tell anyone else about it.
It can't happen again.
225
00:29:02,020 --> 00:29:05,180
Never!
226
00:29:09,140 --> 00:29:11,140
What's the point anyway?
227
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:12,540
Even if there's an echo wave,
228
00:29:12,540 --> 00:29:18,500
it'll be too weak
to be picked up by our radio.
229
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:21,780
No.
230
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:25,060
If my guess is right,
231
00:29:25,060 --> 00:29:29,620
it'll receive an extremely strong echo,
232
00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:33,260
more powerful than we can imagine.
233
00:29:34,020 --> 00:29:38,100
As long as the transmission power
exceeds a certain threshold,
234
00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:44,260
the sun can amplify
the signal 100 million-fold.
235
00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:55,580
I see.
236
00:31:00,060 --> 00:31:03,220
They got nothing.
237
00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:30,780
Don't be too upset.
238
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:32,620
Check this out.
239
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:34,820
That astronomer
240
00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:37,900
wrote back.
241
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:56,020
What did he say?
242
00:31:56,020 --> 00:31:57,700
He said he hadn't imagined
243
00:31:57,700 --> 00:32:01,900
that there'd be fellows in China
studying planetary electromagnetism
244
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:05,620
and expected more collaboration
and communication.
245
00:33:06,940 --> 00:33:09,540
What's wrong?
246
00:33:15,340 --> 00:33:17,380
Nothing.
247
00:33:17,380 --> 00:33:22,380
It's time to
wake up from my dream.
248
00:34:49,660 --> 00:34:51,780
Your call to the universe
249
00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:55,580
let Lord finally hear us!
250
00:34:55,580 --> 00:34:58,060
Eliminate human tyranny!
251
00:34:58,060 --> 00:35:00,940
The world belongs to Trisolaris!
252
00:35:00,940 --> 00:35:03,020
Eliminate human tyranny!
253
00:35:03,020 --> 00:35:05,740
The world belongs to Trisolaris!
254
00:35:05,740 --> 00:35:08,020
Eliminate human tyranny!
255
00:35:08,020 --> 00:35:12,980
The world belongs to Trisolaris!
256
00:35:19,260 --> 00:35:24,300
At the time,
I couldn't have imagined that.
257
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:30,620
That transmission
was more of a gorgeous bubble.
258
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:32,820
It quickly broke
259
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:36,980
and my life returned to peace.
260
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:27,940
(If humans obtained
one of those other forces,
261
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:39,540
In the presence of madness,
rationality is powerless.
262
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:08,380
as would any future endeavor be.
263
00:40:09,820 --> 00:40:13,820
Until 1979,
264
00:40:13,820 --> 00:40:17,460
on October 21st,
265
00:40:18,420 --> 00:40:23,020
everything was changed.
266
00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:09,100
"Do not
267
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:12,820
answer".
268
00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:15,980
"Do not answer"!
269
00:43:18,620 --> 00:43:22,300
"Do not answer"!
