Chapter 325 Video Communication

(ps: Please vote, collect, recommend, and authentic, give me some motivation~)

Perhaps because of their confidence in their own strength, facing the transport fleet led by the human flagship Tianqin and two lake-class battleships, the 73 lake-class battleship defense teams of the Nair civilization did not all go out, only three came.

Perhaps it is also related to the purpose of their visit this time.

In any case, what humans saw was that only three battleships came, and such an approach was a manifestation of goodwill in the eyes of humans.

Therefore, the new government leaders on the Tianqin were in a good mood, with a feeling that "there are also goodwill civilizations among low-level civilizations" and "there are also truth, goodness and beauty among cosmic civilizations".

While they were thinking about it, the Nair civilization sent a reply.

Yue Yuan and his group quickly knew the content of the Nair people's reply.

First, they welcomed the arrival of humans, at least that's what it said literally, and the next content was a response to the content that humans had sent before to discuss supply matters. However, in the reply, the Nair people did not specify the specific matters of supply, but simply promised humans that they would definitely arrange the supply.

Finally, it was the opinion of the Nair people. They felt that the communication method of writing letters was too inefficient, so they planned to establish a video call with humans, or hold a video conference or something.

In view of the previous communication, the information communication and translation between human civilization and Nair civilization is no longer a big problem, but it is indeed as the Nair people said that such communication efficiency is indeed low.

Therefore, Yue Yuan agreed with the Nair people's proposal, and others probably thought it was a good choice.

First of all, the two sides are officially in contact, but since the two sides are not creatures from the same planet, it is impossible for real people to go to the same environment to sit together and discuss, so they can only do it in the form of video.

Secondly, they can also see what form the other party is in. I don’t know when, many human scientists believe that seeing each other’s biological morphological characteristics is a kind of trust.

Of course, wearing tactical armor to go to the place designated by both parties is one way, but after going there, you have to do various disinfection work when you come back, which is too troublesome.

Therefore, the first choice is to establish video communication.

However, establishing video communication is quite different from the current communication style of writing and replying letters.

In the past, the envelope-style information transmission between humans and the Nair civilization was based on the language of the Nair civilization. After all, the first message was a dictionary sent by the Nair civilization, so it has been used this way.

And the information translation, to put it bluntly, is based on regular electromagnetic wave signals. In the past, information was received and then translated one by one according to the electromagnetic wave signal fluctuation pattern in the information.

However, if real-time video communication is to be carried out, communication experts and computer experts will have to write a set of special underlying codes separately.

The reason is that this communication method requires that the devices of both parties have data exchange all the time.

Therefore, various things such as sequences, image groups, bit strings, bases, strip coding structures, block coding structures, and bit rate control algorithms need to be interoperable, otherwise real-time communication cannot be established at all.

In addition, there is the underlying operating logic of the computers of both parties, and on this basis, the data transmission protocol, video decoding and display data corresponding data are interoperable, etc.

In short, there is a lot of work to be done, but it is not difficult for human civilization or Nair civilization. As long as both parties negotiate the protocols used for various video communications, it is estimated that it will not take much time to come up with it.

As for whether to use the network protocol of humans or Nair people, or to establish another system, it depends on the negotiation process of both parties.

Regarding this point, Yue Yuan actually didn't care, so he directly gave a message to the communication department and asked them to negotiate this issue with Nair civilization.

Of course, because real-time communication requires data exchange, Yue Yuan did not forget to remind relevant experts that firewall construction must be done well. He didn't want to fight a network war with Nair civilization.

If Nair civilization was not also a second-level civilization, the new government would never agree to establish real-time video communication.

In this way, after the two sides agreed, they negotiated on various network protocols for more than ten days. Finally, with the joint efforts of communication and computer experts from both sides, a system specifically used for communication between the two sides was finally developed.

After the system was completed and passed various tests without problems, Yue Yuan summoned a group of scientists and scholars from all walks of life to the Tianqin Command Center and set up a long table. After everyone was seated and the time agreed upon by both parties had come, he sent a communication request to the Nair civilization.

Now the Tianqin was on the same orbit as the three warships of the Nair civilization, but there was still a distance of more than 30,000 kilometers between the two, and the communication delay was about 266 milliseconds, or 0.266 seconds.

The delay was not high, and there was no problem with the video call.

While preparing for the communication, the large screen in the Tianqin command center had been lowered from a high hanging state to the same level as the long table through a mechanical motion structure.

Therefore, when the screen lit up, Yue Yuan and his group could see all the people of the Nair civilization appearing on the screen at eye level.

When the images of both parties appeared on each other's screen, both humans and Nairs looked at each other blankly as if they had discussed it beforehand, as if they had forgotten to speak.

Including Yue Yuan, no one expected that the Nairs would grow into this peritonitis, with two claws, compound eyes, a dark carapace shell, and two tentacles on the top of the head. It is simply an enlarged version of an arthropod. Of course, it is an arthropod that walks on two legs.

Oh, if you look at the overall structure, it should be a race that takes into account the appearance of an alien body and the characteristics of an arthropod, but it has no tail.

At first glance, this body shape gives people a cold, evil and uncomfortable feeling, which is completely different from the feeling of a furry animal.

Many people didn't feel it before, but after seeing the form of the Nairs, they suddenly found that those furry dog-headed people were so cute.

Like humans, the Nairs were also very shocked after seeing the human form, and they couldn't help but click their claws at a certain frequency.

If humans didn't understand the so-called "expressions" of the Nair people, they would definitely be able to feel how shocked they were.

Indeed, compared to humans, the Nair people really saw aliens for the first time, so they were much more shocked than humans.
