>Radio telescopes around the world receive a range of intense radio signals. After studying the data, scientists from different countries unanimously exclude the possibility of interference caused by cosmic noise. The signals arrive in a logical order at 1420 MHz (the frequency of neutral hydrogen atoms). At an international meeting of astrophysicists, the artificial origin of the signals is finally confirmed, and it is announced that the signals came from the KOI-3010 star system, located at a distance of 1213 light years from the Sun. Such a distance would create an obstacle to a response signal, which leads scientists to believe that the civilization sending the signal must surpass humanity in technological development by many hundreds and possibly thousands of years.
>Radio signals continue to arrive every year for seven years. During this time, all attempts to decode the signal fail.
>More and more countries stop fighting wars and start focusing on developing common international space technologies. For the first time, something is connecting people from around the world, regardless of nationality, culture, or religion. They become increasingly less focused on their own state and more deeply concerned about the planet as a whole. Fear of the unknown is pacifying human behavior.
>Despite enormous technological developments, the meaning of the messages remains unclear for hundreds of years. However, after studying the history of their ancestors during the first years of receiving the radio signals, scientists note that humanity, on the verge of self-destruction, radically changed its attitude towards the world around it. Wars and poverty started to end, the economic balance between countries began to stabilize, and more and more people gained access to education. Humanity learned to live in harmony with nature.
>Perhaps this was the meaning of the messages, thanks to which people have managed to move to intelligent civilization’s next stage of development...
