[Chapter 419, Star Coin Code]

The interstellar passenger transport spacecraft soon left the gravitational circle of the capital star and entered the stage of stable space travel.

A soft broadcast sound sounded in the cabin: "Passengers, our spaceship has started sailing at a constant speed. During the next journey, you can go to the lobby on the 2nd floor of the spaceship to buy all kinds of food by yourself. At the same time, the spaceship on the 3rd floor The entertainment center will be fully open 24 hours a day, and passengers who need to participate in various entertainment activities can make reservations in advance using the APP in the spacecraft..."

It was the first time for everyone to take an interstellar spaceship. This spaceship is similar to a luxury cruise ship. Except for the rest cabins, other public areas have been transformed into food courts and entertainment centers.

If it wasn't for taking the prince and fleeing the capital planet together this time, everyone could relax on the spaceship for two days.

But now, everyone has no interest in going out to play.

Shao Qingge opened the No. 3 suitcase he carried with him, took out a large amount of compressed food, and put it on the dining table for everyone to eat casually. Lu Jiuchuan unpacked a pack of compressed beef, stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, and joked with a smile: "Boss Shao is really well equipped, and he brought such a big box to eat."

For the convenience of movement, all of them were empty-handed, only Shao Qingge and Ye Qi brought three boxes of luggage.

Ye Qi leaned over mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "We experienced a weekly routine before, it was a copy of a sea cruise ship, Mr. Shao was very wealthy, and took us to eat a very expensive breakfast in a VIP restaurant. In terms of conversion, a Steamed stuffed buns cost a few hundred yuan. Mr. Shao said, you get what you pay for, and expensive ones are always better.”

Tang Ci asked with interest: "And then?"

Ye Qi glanced at Shao Qingge: "Then, like those who ate the free breakfast, we vomited and diarrhea, and got food poisoning! Hahaha."

Shao Qingge: "...you remember it really clearly."

Ye Qi finally stopped laughing, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Ace of spades told us that spending money will still pay for sins. So, Mr. Shao learned his lesson and didn't want to eat on the interstellar spaceship. I went to the convenience store early in the morning and bought a whole box of sealed food."

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had expressions of "So that's it".

Shao Qingge: "..."

Regarding this dark history, Shao Qingge had nothing to defend, he patted Ye Qi on the shoulder lightly: "Is there anything wrong with being cautious? Be good, go cook a bag of noodles for Dad, don't forget that in this world I am It's your adoptive father, no big or small."

Ye Qi's ears turned red slightly, and he glared at him, with a resigned expression on his face, turned around to cook noodles for "father", and cooked a bowl for each of the other teammates by the way.

After everyone settled down for dinner, Xiao Lou suggested, "It's still a long time before the terminal, why don't we study those banknotes? Did Mr. Shao bring them?"

"Of course." Shao Qingge opened the No. 1 suitcase, and it was indeed filled with cash.

In order to prevent the banknotes from being moved in the process of dragging the suitcase and causing confusion, Shao Qingge stuffed white paper of similar thickness in the vacant positions in the suitcase. Therefore, the arrangement of banknotes in the suitcase is exactly the same as that of a one-meter-high safe .

"We put the banknotes in the original order, and found no other rules," Shao Qingge said.

"Let's take it apart and have a look." Xiao Lou took the first stack of banknotes in the upper left corner, and after untiing the white band that bound the banknotes, Xiao Lou spread out the 100 banknotes on the ground and checked them one by one.

The teammates also leaned over to watch carefully.

For comparison, Shao Qingge simply summoned the [ATM self-service teller machine] on the spot, took out a few more star coins, and handed out one to his teammates.

Everyone held the banknotes that Shao Qingge had just taken out in their left hands, and squatted next to the banknotes spread all over the floor by Xiao Lou, comparing the details bit by bit. This scene was like playing a game of "find faults, everyone".

Tang Ci concluded: "The patterns are all the same. On the front is the head of the founding emperor of the Luoke Empire, and on the back is the face value of 1000, uneven Braille, and the banknote number."

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Look at the lower right corner of the banknote, the anti-counterfeit marks are different."

Among this group of people, Yu Hanjiang is undoubtedly the one with the best observation skills. After all, he is a criminal policeman. He has encountered many rapes in the previous cases he solved, and he is more sensitive to anti-counterfeiting signs.

In the interstellar era, few people would use banknotes. The identity card on the wrist is bound to the bank card, and payment can be made by scanning it directly. But banknotes are hard currency after all, and banks will definitely have reserves. Moreover, banknotes must be marked with anti-counterfeiting, otherwise the large-scale launch of the currency will crush the market economy.

Hearing Yu Hanjiang's words, everyone turned the banknotes to the back, and Ye Qi quickly discovered this: "The color of the light is different? The banknotes left by Mr. Shao, the light of the anti-counterfeiting mark is a horizontally changing color, just from the ATM cash machine The banknotes that were taken out changed vertically?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "There will be light-changing ink on the banknotes to prevent copying and forgery. The anti-counterfeiting inks of the two versions of star coins are printed in different ways, so the angle of color change under the light will be different. Mr. Tang, please check it out. Has the empire made any announcements about the revision of star coins over the years?"

Tang Ci took out his portable optical computer and quickly told everyone the result: "There are four banknotes issued since the establishment of the empire. The third edition is in the safe, and the fourth edition of banknotes was issued in August 2975 , which has been used until now, is the version that was just taken out of the ATM cash machine."

Xiao Lou quickly sensed the crux of the problem: "In other words, Mr. Shao left

The banknotes that come down are the third edition, which stopped printing in August 2975. Starting in August, all the new banknotes will be issued. Want to take out the old banknotes with a denomination of 7.5 million from the bank to prove that he must have taken out these banknotes before August 2975? "

After the new version of banknotes is issued in large quantities, the old version will stop printing, and it is impossible to withdraw the entire 7.5 million old version of cash from the bank. Then, the only explanation is that Shao Qingge's father had already withdrawn 7.5 million cash and put it in a safe before the new version of banknotes was issued.

The date of July 15, 2975 indicated by the placement of the coins coincided with the time when he withdrew the cash. At that time, the new version of banknotes had not yet been issued, so he naturally took out the old version.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and analyzed: "This point also proves our speculation about the date. July 15, 2975 in the star calendar must be the time when the Noah's Ark project was first launched. Mr. Shao doesn't know why. For what reason, a large amount of banknotes were withdrawn from the bank when the plan was launched, and left to Shao Qingge as a clue."

He must have been uneasy, or had a bad premonition about this plan, so he planned ahead and left a clue in advance.

Xiao Lou suddenly asked: "Mr. Shao, do you remember when your father passed away?"

Shao Qingge thought for a while and said, "It should have been 18 years ago, shortly after the restart of the Noah's Ark project."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ye Qi again, and said: "Ye Qi's biological parents also died shortly after Ye Qi was born 18 years ago. According to the information, they died in a battle on the front line, but I always feel that something is wrong. It's not that simple. I saw Ye Qi's father's name in the signature of the Noah's Ark restart plan."

Ye Qi scratched his head and said, "I have no impression of my parents at all. I grew up in an orphanage since I was a child."

Shao Qingge frowned and pressed his temple, he suddenly remembered the reason why he adopted Ye Qi in the first place - that year, he went to the orphanage for charity and donated a sum of money to the orphanage. As the representative of the children, Ye Qi came up to present flowers to him. Shao Qingge, who was still very young at the time, felt familiar with the clear eyes of the child, so he adopted Ye Qi.

Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi: "Ignoring all our past experiences, we didn't know each other in this secret room at first. I adopted you because you are Ye Bowen's son. I have met your biological father."

This passage was rather convoluted, but Ye Qi quickly understood: "It means that the fact that you are my adoptive father is not arbitrarily arranged, but involves some clues to the Noah's Ark plan back then? Your father, And my biological father, have participated in this plan? And you have seen my biological father?"

Shao Qingge nodded: "Yes, although I don't have a clear impression, your biological father must have come to my house and had a dispute with my father. I was very young at that time, so I didn't hear what they said, only heard them talking What is certain is that they all died accidentally during those two years, my father was in a car accident, and your parents died on the front line."

Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "Could it be that the death of your fathers was not an accident?"

Yu Hanjiang asked, "What about the list?"

Shao Qingge also took out his portable optical computer, and enlarged the downloaded Noah's Ark restart plan in front of everyone.

There are more than ten names on the signature page. In addition to the director of the investor Noah Medical Technology Company, there are also several important high-level officials from the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Military Department...

Yu Hanjiang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Tang Ci, who understood, and quickly typed these names into his optical brain to search, but the result of the query made Tang Ci's expression change.

He said in a deep voice: "Old Mr. Shao died in a car accident on August 10, 2982 in the star calendar; Major General Ye Bowen died in September of the same year; Qi Zhao, a professor of the Academy of Sciences, died of poisoning in the laboratory in November of the same year; He died of a heart attack in November..."

Every time he pronounced a name, the faces of his teammates became ugly.

After he read the death news of 9 people in a row, Ye Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is it all dead?"

Tang Ci said: "There is only one left, Lin Yan's mother, Professor Zhang Shaohua."

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Except for Professor Zhang, all other insiders were silenced eighteen years ago. This is the case that Hearts needs to investigate in this secret room—we can't even find the dead body."

Investigate the case, there is a body, at least the cause of death and the time of death can be deduced. Only after arriving at the scene of the crime can we find all kinds of evidence and clues left by the suspect...

But now, the nine dead have become nine urns, buried in the cemetery.

The crime scene was completely destroyed.

A serial murder case without a corpse, or the case 18 years ago? !

Lu Jiuchuan held his forehead with a headache: "How do you check this?"

All eyes turned to Yu Hanjiang. The old case 18 years ago was much more difficult than sending everyone to the crime scene for autopsy and finding the murderer.

Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully, and said: "This case cannot use the previous thinking to investigate the social relationship, grievances and causes of death of the deceased—no matter how they died, in the final analysis, they must be silenced. Therefore, we only need to start from the plan. Do it yourself, investigate those who are still alive, the secrets of the Noah's Ark project, and the forces behind it."

Ye Qi said: "Ms. Zhang Shaohua, Lin Yan's mother, whom Teacher Qu is investigating, is the only one alive in the autograph. Will she know some clues?"

Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "Since everyone else has been silenced, it is impossible for them to leave only this hidden danger. I speculate that Ms. Zhang is very likely to be hypnotized and cannot remember the past. The reason why the silencers let her go is because

She is General Lin's wife, maybe General Lin is protecting her, or His Majesty is selling face to General Lin. "

His Majesty?

Yu Hanjiang mentioned this person not abruptly. Although His Majesty is not on the list, this plan will definitely be related to His Majesty. Otherwise, how can we explain the duplicants of the princes in the palace?

Xiao Lou glanced at the star coins on the ground.

The color is similar to that of RMB, and 100 pink banknotes are laid on the ground in order.

In addition to the fact that the anti-counterfeiting mark is different from the current banknotes, which proves that this is the third edition of the star coin issued before 2975, are there any other clues on the banknotes?

He knelt down and carefully checked the front and back of the banknotes.

Suddenly, Xiao Lou said: "There is a problem with the serial number of the banknote."

Yu Hanjiang was startled, and came over and squatted beside Xiao Lou: "Number?"

Xiao Loudao: "A bank's self-service teller machine will not store so many banknotes. Large cash withdrawals need to be reserved in advance at the bank. For example, when we get engaged in our hometown, we usually need brand-new banknotes for the dowry gift. , The new banknotes taken out in this way have a rule, that is - consecutive numbers."

Yu Hanjiang's eyes lit up, and he looked carefully at the number area in the lower right corner on the back of the banknote.

The first G446805;

The second SABFD31;

The third G446806;

The fourth AMCR333;

The fifth G446807;

The sixth AEFPF13...

All odd-numbered banknotes on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th sheets have serial numbers; all even-numbered banknotes on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th sheets have no consecutive numbers.

Xiao Lou reclassified the banknotes spread on the ground, and explained: "The banknotes with consecutive numbers all start with G, and should be taken out from the bank by appointment; while the banknotes with no serial numbers and messy numbers should be Shao The old man specially found the clue banknotes inserted in the middle of this pile of banknotes."

After being classified by Xiao Lou, everyone looked at the banknotes on the ground—as expected.

There are a total of 100 banknotes in this stack. All odd-numbered banknotes are consecutively numbered, and even-numbered banknotes are all non-sequentially numbered, appearing alternately. Finally, 50 banknotes with consecutive numbers and 50 banknotes with clues and random numbers were screened out.

Excluding the interference of banknotes with serial numbers and only looking at the "clue banknotes" with messy numbers, a strange pattern can be found.

Xiao Loudao: "The numbers in the clue banknotes are only 1 and 3."

Everyone took a closer look and found that there were no other numbers from 0 to 9 in the 50 clue banknotes. They were all 1 and 3, the second 31, the fourth 333, the sixth 13, the eighth 1111...

Ye Qi looked bewildered: "What do 1 and 3 represent?"

Xiao Lou is good at mathematics, but he has only heard that the conversion between decimal and binary is 1 and 0, but he has never heard what 1 and 3 represent.

The room suddenly fell silent, obviously everyone was thinking.

Just when everyone was frowning and thinking, Shao Qingge suddenly stepped forward and said softly: "This is the Morse code."

*****

【Chapter 420, The Secret of Noah's Ark】

Morse code?

Xiao Lou didn't think of this at first, but when Shao Qingge reminded him, he quickly realized: "Morse code is an international common code that has been passed down for many years. A long signal [—] for a certain period of time reads [click], a short signal lasts for 1 second, and a long signal lasts for 3 seconds—exactly 1 and 3.”

Ye Qi was dumbfounded: "This is using Morse code? It's like playing a spy war!"

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and touched his nose: "So, this box of banknotes left by Mr. Shao is really a Morse code? Mr. Shao, do you know how to decipher it?"

Shao Qingge thought about it carefully, and then said with a headache: "When I was young, my father taught me that this is a code handed down from a very ancient time. What he taught me is the same as what Professor Xiao said, short and long, different. The collocations can be deciphered into different numbers and letters. On coins, 1 is used to represent short sounds and 3 to represent long sounds, which really makes sense."

Ye Qi joked, "You actually know Morse code? We, Mr. Shao, are finally not square scumbags."

Shao Qingge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just remembered the memories instilled in me by the gatekeepers."

He leaned over to pick up the banknotes with clues on the ground, and said: "This one, the clue number is 31, deciphered according to the long and short sounds of the Morse code, representing the letter N; this one 333, long and long, representing the letter O; 13, representing A; 1111, four short sounds, representing H; 111, representing S; 13, representing A; 131 representing R; 313 representing K..."

This is the clue his father left for him.

The Morse code that Shao Qingge had learned in childhood quickly emerged in his memory. He quickly deciphered the Morse code on the banknotes, while Xiao Lou took a blank piece of paper and followed Shao Qingge's rhythm to record.

Remembering this, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Shao Qingge looked back at him, Xiao Lou turned over the paper with the letters written on it for everyone to see.

NOAHSARK.

Tang Ci was the first to react: "Noah's Ark, Noah's Ark?"

Xiao Lou nodded seriously: "That's right, the Morse code that Mr. Shao deciphered just now is Noah's Ark."

Everyone: "..."

It can only be said that the way Shao Qingge's father left the password was too awesome, it was more complicated than any square mechanism password he had encountered before, and in the end he unexpectedly

Matched with Morse code.

Coins, Numbers, Morse Code, Alphabet English——Noah's Ark.

Even if the safe he left behind is found by someone with a heart, they will not understand the mystery of it. When most people see a box of banknotes, they will only subconsciously think that he has left a box of money for his son...

Shao Qingge had a complicated mood: "Continue to decipher?"

Xiao Loudao: "Go ahead, take out all the banknotes in the entire box, and everyone help sort them out, remove the interference items with consecutive numbers, and sort out the banknotes with messy numbers and numbers 1 and 3 in order."

Except for Shao Qingge and Xiao Lou, everyone else started to act.

There are 8 rows of banknotes in the big box, each row has 9 stacks, and each stack is 100 sheets, a total of 7,200 sheets, of which 3,600 sheets with consecutive numbers are interference items, which are meaningless, and there are 3,600 clue notes with numbers 1 and 3 ...

Ye Qi had never seen so many banknotes before, and his hands cramped when counting the money.

Yu Hanjiang, Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan were also sorting out the coins quickly, and then placed them one by one in front of Shao Qingge in order.

Shao Qingge deciphered the passwords one by one in order, while Xiao Lou recorded them on blank paper.

The room was extremely quiet, only Shao Qingge's deep voice and Xiao Lou's writing voice remained.

"1311, letter L...3313, letter Q...3113, letter X..."

Ye Qi sat beside him, not daring to breathe.

Listening to Shao Qingge's continuous reporting and deciphering the code, he even felt nervous when watching a spy war drama, the underground party intercepted the "Didi Dada" telegram and deciphered it into Chinese.

3600 passwords, a huge workload.

Shao Qingge wanted to ensure that the deciphering would not go wrong. The memory of learning Morse code in his childhood became clearer and clearer in his mind. After converting 1 and 3 into short and long sounds, the speed of deciphering became faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lou's paper was filled with deciphered letters.

Until all 3600 banknotes were deciphered.

Xiao Lou started to translate from scratch——

"The Noah's Ark project was officially launched on July 15, 2975 in the star calendar. Scientists have overcome the problem of cell replication. The cell culture medium they made is theoretically enough to grow a cell into an adult."

"The experiment must be kept secret. Human cells are best provided by a few of our insiders. So, like them, I took my son Shao Qingge's cells to join the experimental group..."

Xiao Lou couldn't help but look up at Shao Qingge after reading this.

Shao Qingge helped his forehead helplessly: "Go on, even if I am a clone, I can accept it."

Xiao Lou continued to translate: "Professor Zhang used the cells of her daughter Lin Yan; the cells provided by His Majesty came from the newborn little prince Xiao Lou."

When he read his name, Xiao Lou still looked calm. He paused, and then said: "A week later, the Academy of Sciences launched a secret experiment. I was very disturbed. Once I went to the laboratory and found that they actually took my son's A dozen copies of the cell clones were placed in a petri dish. I asked them, didn’t they agree to only copy one as the future organ donor for the children? They explained that there is a risk of failure in cell cloning, so doing a few more can guarantee Success rate."

"Such an approach makes me even more afraid - what if all of those few succeed? How will I face five, six, or even a dozen identical Shao Qingge in the future?"

"Qingge is the crystallization of love between my wife and I. How can I explain to my son that he has so many identical 'brothers'? I agreed to this plan to make a copy as my son's healer. According to scientists, the aging of human beings is due to the aging of organs. If you raise a young replicant as a donor, you can take organs from the replicant at any time when you get old in the future, and you can prolong your life; in case of illness Now, you can get healthy organs to transplant to the main body at any time, and you don’t have to worry about rejection. Cloning people are like life insurance that humans buy for themselves, so that they have an extra life. I’m too stupid to believe them! "

"Now, the research of this group of lunatics has deviated from the original intention, and I must stop all of this."

"I secretly went to the laboratory to destroy Qingge's specimens, I felt like I was killing people, those cells were about to grow into the shape of babies... I saw countless babies in the laboratory, my God! "

"Due to the mistakes of the scientists, although the cells grow into babies, the babies raised in the in vitro culture medium have too many physical defects, and all of them died before they were half a year old. The Noah's Ark project had to be terminated!"

The deciphered information stops here.

This is only the record of the first project, and there is no record of the restart of the Noah's Ark project. Obviously, the safe was prepared by Shao Qingge's father after the first project ended, and the banknotes taken from 2975 also prove this point. When the second plan was launched, perhaps he had already been monitored, or he was quickly silenced, and it was too late for him to leave any more clues.

The teammates looked at each other in blank dismay.

Taking the children's cells directly and copying countless identical babies, the picture makes one's skin crawl just thinking about it. Xiao Lou took a deep breath: "In the first plan, all the replicants died? So, five years later, when the plan is restarted, they should have more advanced technology?"

For example, it speeds up the process of cell replication and baby growth, just as it backfires. Let a baby grow to be five years old in just one year? Otherwise, how can it be explained that the second batch of replicants in the palace are all the same age as Xiao Lou?

Crazy scientists seem to have overlooked that once human reproduction methods, growth rates, and even genetic inheritance

, can be completely controlled by human beings themselves, scientists can modify the characteristics of human beings at will, just like modifying a piece of machine... Those cultivated in this way cannot be called "human beings"!
