Sha asked the purpose behind Wang's strange request. Wang avoided giving a straight answer, and Sha didn't press. 显然，一个专家的尊严，不允许他对这种违反专业常识的观测表现出过多的兴趣。 The dignity of a specialist did not allow Sha to express too much interest in a request that clearly went against his professional knowledge. 然后他们到一间为游客开的通宵酒吧中去坐了两个多小时，沙瑞山一杯接着一杯地灌啤酒，变得更加健谈，而汪淼却早已心神不定，脑子里不断地浮现出那条绿色直线。 Then they went to an all-night bar for tourists and sat for two hours. As Sha finished one beer after another, his tongue loosened even more. But Wang became anxious, and his mind kept returning to that green line on the terminal in Sha's office. @@ -67,63 +67,63 @@ 这时，照向射电天线阵列的聚光灯已经熄灭，天线在夜空下变成了简明的黑色二维图案，仿佛是一排抽象的符号，以同一个仰角齐齐地仰望着宇宙，似乎在等待着什么。 The spotlights that had lit up the row of radio antennas had been turned off, and the antennas now formed a simple two-dimensional picture against the night sky like a series of abstract symbols. All of them gazed up at the sky at the same angle, as though waiting expectantly for something. 这景象令汪淼不寒而栗，他想起了《三体》中的那些巨摆。 The scene made Wang shudder despite the warmth of the spring evening. He was reminded of the giant pendulums in Three Body. 回到实验室时正好是凌晨一点，当他们将目光投向终端屏幕时，波动刚刚出现，直线变成了曲线，出现了间隔不一的尖尖的波峰，颜色也变红了，如同一条冬眠后的蛇开始充血蠕动了。 They arrived back at the lab at one. As they looked at the terminal, the fluctuation was just getting started. The flat line turned into a wave, the distance between one peak and the next inconstant.

He plugged in a network cable and picked up the phone. Wang could tell from the one-sided conversation that he was trying to get in touch with the Ürümqi radio astronomy observatory. 他没有对汪淼解释什么，两眼死盯着屏幕上的浏览器，汪淼能听到他急促的呼吸声： He didn't explain to Wang what he was doing, his eyes locked onto the browser window on the notebook. Wang could hear his rapid breathing. 几分钟后，浏览器上出现了一个坐标窗口，一条红色曲线在窗口上出现，与另外三条进行着精确同步的波动。 A few minutes later, a red waveform appeared in the browser window, moving in step with the other three. 这样，三颗卫星和一套地面观测设备同时证实了一件事：宇宙在闪烁！ The three satellites and the ground-based observatory confirmed one fact: The universe was flickering. -“能将前面的曲线打印出来吗？” 汪淼问。 "Can you print out the waveform?"
