The man was trapped in the reef for help with the "Moss password".

Science Fiction Network August 17th (Wang Xiuxia) Recently, a man in Xiamen, Fujian, digging flowers was trapped in reefs. He flashed the headlights in the order of three short three long three, long, long, long, and eventually successfully rescued using the "Moster Code".

Morse Code is also known as the Mosic password. It is a time interrupted signal code that was invented by American Samuel Morce in 1836. As an early digital communication form, the Moster password relies on a series of points (·) and schemes ( -) to pass the encoding information. Its code includes five types:

Point (·): 1 (Read "Det" DIT, takes time 1T)

Stand ( -): 111 (read "Da" DAH, time occupies 3T)

The pause inside the character (between points and scratches): 0 (time occupies 1T)

Passing between characters: 000 (time occupies 3T)

Set up between words: 0000000 (time occupies 7T)

These code can form English letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols in different arrangements, and then convey different meanings.

When we encounter danger, how do we use the Morse password for help?

When it comes to danger, you can use lights for very simple coding: "three shorts, three long, three shorts." You can press the light "short-light-dark-short-light-dark-dark-dark, long-dark-dark-dark-dark-dark, short-light-short-light-short-light-dark" The rules are displayed.

If you use headlights or flashlights to send help signals, then there is no need to use the power switch to achieve the light and darkness of the lights, and it is necessary to cover it with your hands when it is dark.

In addition, the number of "SOS" is "191519", because S is the 19th letter in the letter watch and O as the 15th letter. Using the number representation method can also send a distress signal.

Safety is always a top priority. When you are in danger, you must calm down quickly, analyze the surrounding environment, and try to seek help!
