Xiling Empire

In the difficult and slow communication, we finally realized what happened to the deep dive ship after losing contact.

The ancestors did catch that one-percent chance of survival: they successfully crossed the critical level!

What happened afterwards also confirmed the Void model of the Abyss Spirit. After the deep submerged ship crossed the critical layer, the infection it suffered suddenly decreased, and as it continued to progress, the abyss ’pollution of order things became invalid. The deep submersibles show a very high "immune effect", which is consistent with the situation of the spacecraft wreckage and some parts of the black shuttle at hand.

Therefore, even if the deep submersible ship is on the verge of disintegration when crossing the critical layer, and only the last layer of defense and the core area are still functioning normally, it still barely completes this thrilling journey, and the last layer of defense also When the crash was announced, it was only the core cabin that broke out of the abyss door-it was already the abyss door on the opposite bank.

The basic structure of the deep submersible ship is in the same vein as most of the imperial starships. Even if it disintegrates, it will retain a relatively complete navigation ability and survival environment, so only the core submersible ship is in a strange world. The navigation capability is still maintained. Although most of the laboratories and detection equipment have been destroyed, the ancestors successfully found signs of life in the strange universe with the small workstations that came with the core module.

The text on the communicator shows the contact between the locals and their ancestors: "It is quite lucky that the universe is one of the remote colonies of the Starring Confederation. Our purification unit received a report of a disorderly sea exit from the colony and went to deal with the crisis. Then we found a strange spacecraft hovering over the colony. We are not sure what your time system is, but the people on the spacecraft said they had been cruising in space for 'two days'. "

In other words, the ancestors officially rushed through this void structure that no one had ever crossed before. This is a very important data. According to it, Tavel can roughly estimate how wide the space under the gate of the abyss is. .

As for the "out of the sea" mentioned by people on the other side, there is no doubt that the door of the abyss is called opposite. They call the abyss "out of the sea". The gate of the abyss is, of course, the "outland of chaos", which is really easy to understand.

"Can our crew talk to us?" Sandora personally sent a message, and a few minutes later a message appeared on the communicator: "Here is Anthes, everyone is here, Anna and Tanad are subject to With a few minor injuries, the rest are unharmed. We are learning about this new world. The Starring Federation is a very different place from the empire, and so are their technologies. "

"Unfortunately I can only see the text," Sandola grumbled to me. "Communication is too difficult, and more complex messages will be disturbed to the point where there is almost no way to decode ... the relay station will not be able to bear it."

"It's much stronger than before," said Abyss Schilling. "By the way, ask about the relay station. That thing can't run forever. The abyss critical layer is also polluted. It determines that we can communicate with the other side. how long."

Tavel nodded, and immediately sent the questions over as succinctly as possible.

There was another delay of a few minutes. A relatively long passage appeared on the holographic projection: "According to Sandora's prompt, we dropped the relay station the moment the spacecraft crossed the critical layer, that is, the moment when the pollution flipped over, and its condition was basically intact at the time. But because of the spaceship The damage was serious, and the Gana library where the relay station was located was damaged, so the relay station itself had a minor fault. After crossing the critical layer, we maintained communication with the relay station for a period of time and determined that the fault occurred in the 33rd to 35th forwarding On the module. It has no effect on the overall function, but it will reduce the communication bandwidth ... The following information is not sent. "

Obviously, the words of the father have not finished, this is to reduce the pressure on the relay station. After a few minutes, the following message appeared in front of everyone: "Continued ... The antenna power of the spacecraft's core module is very limited. After we confirmed the condition of the relay station, we tried to send a safety signal to the empire through it, but it failed. Lost contact with the relay station. According to the final data obtained before the disconnection, the relay station is in good working condition and is located on the 'safe side'. It can work continuously for 60 to 90 days (empire standard time) ... The following information has not been sent. "

A few minutes later, another passage said: "Another: Starring Federation is analyzing material samples of the Imperial Deep Submarine to find ways to improve the materials and technology of their deep diving equipment, but encountered the same problems as us. Side matter is incompatible, technology is incompatible, and rules are not universal. The Star Ring Federation also has technology similar to 'information-substance' transformation, but it cannot replicate any of the components on our deep submersibles. But they have produced according to the structure of deep submersibles Some ideas inspiration may help its development. They also plan to set up a relay station at the critical level to replace or supplement the temporary relay station we have set up in a hurry, and the communication situation will be greatly improved by then. "

Three paragraphs finally made the situation clear. The status quo does not seem to be very good, but it is not too bad.

The bad news is that the relay station really has some problems, causing its working state to not reach its peak, and its working life is at most only a few tens of days. If the relay station cannot be reset within these tens of days, the connection between the empire and the other side will be interrupted. The good news is that the other side has already got some inspiration from the Empire ’s deep dive ship. Combined with their deep diving technology (at least advanced than the Empire), the other side should be able to set up a formal relay station at the critical level. If all goes well, maybe They can do it before the existing relay station collapses.

"The deep dive technology on the other side does not seem to be the same as our development method." After several exchanges, Tavel made a judgment with the bold hypothesis of a scientist. "They have launched black shuttles and other unmanned spacecraft. , And they have successfully reached the "inshore", which shows that their deep diving technology can reach the "extreme dive", but their black shuttle and unmanned spacecraft have either been completely destroyed or only the most remaining The core detector, which shows that they attach too much importance to 'extreme diving', but cannot improve the practicality and stability of deep diving equipment. In this way, even if their deep diving technology is more advanced than the empire, they will be the first to complete the manned leap. It's still the Empire. "

"It's just a pity because of an accident," the elder sister sighed. "Luck is huge and not reproducible."

"An irreproducible achievement is not an achievement, it is a basic scientific idea," Tavel sighed. But soon he was cheered up. "Anyway, everything has made great progress now. As long as we establish contact with the other side, we both have the other side's deep diving equipment in our hands as a research sample. The foundation of the research is like engineering tunnels on both sides of a mountain. The project will do more with less. The idea of ​​setting up a relay station at the critical layer has proven to be feasible, although we have successfully installed a relay station because of accident and luck. But the technology on the other side should make it easier for them to set up high-power sites ... The research focus of the Empire for a while will be to enhance the transceiver of the deep submerged port. And more will be set between the gate of the abyss and the discontinuous zone. The strengthening of the transfer station will expand the communication bandwidth, at least to the extent that it can exchange data with the other side. "

The bridge requires the starting ends on both sides to be “synchronized”, and this synchronization is not just a matter of negotiating a time on both sides. It is as simple as turning the switch on at the same time. It requires a series of adjustments to the starting end parameters to ensure “complete information”. Map "so that the two initiators can be connected instantly after activation. It is still the classic analogy: tunnels are excavated on both sides of the mountain at the same time, and precise positioning on both sides is required to ensure the smooth project. Otherwise ... don't think about getting such a good thing from the two tunnels, both sides must fall down.

Tavel and Sandora continued to talk to Anthers there once every few minutes, and occasionally there were "Deep Ring Federation" deep-dive port guards (should be similar staff) to answer our questions We can be sure from the words of the conversation. The people on the other side are also in a state of excitement. I even began to imagine that there is such a hall on the other side of the distant void and there is also a group of communication equipment. The ancestors were sitting in front of the equipment. Excited scientists stood around ...

At this time, another message came from the communicator: "Another: the Star Ring Federation also has Nether creatures, and there are two. It can be roughly determined that these two rulers are the same species as the Nether creatures we know. The Star Ring Federation Originally two independent super civilizations, they decided to merge into one after the two void creatures contacted and communicated for a long time. Within the scope of the Starring Federation. There is no third void creature. The above situation is in these two days Got it. "

Sheila and Xingchen happened to appear at this time. They understood what happened before, and now they saw the passage on the holographic projection. Xingchen hadn't responded yet, and Sheila pounced strangely: "Xingchen Look !!!! Two! Two pop up at a time! The population explosion, our tribe is welcoming a population explosion! "

Everyone at the scene: "..."

I knew it would be so!

Xingchen and I stepped forward to pull down Huron, the crazy man, who was still dancing and dancing: "Let me go! Let me go! I want to talk to them, I want to talk to my fellow citizens on the other side! The population of our tribe is exploding! There are now five tribe, five! It is about to reach the point where one hand can't be counted. Are you two not excited? By the way, Xingchen, let ’s have a child, so it ’s true. I can't count on one hand ... "

Xingchen and I released my hands in tacit agreement and threw King Huron to the ground. Then I stepped in front of the communicator and watched Sandora quickly spit out a sentence: "Void creatures on the other side? What kind of people are they? Your own eyes Did you see it? "

Although we know that the inert guy like Void Creature should have the same temperament wherever he goes, we are still curious about the Void Creature on the other side, of course, how to communicate directly is better. At this time, I couldn't help thinking about the current communication method that can only send text messages: If the bandwidth can be increased a little bit, it would be better.

"Sorry, I didn't see it myself," the ancestors wrote back. "The rulers of the Starring Confederation do not often manage state affairs in the territory. According to locals, they seem to be very enthusiastic about ... hide and seek. One of them ran to hide in the void two hundred years ago, and the other went to him, but he hasn't found it yet, and the Starring Federation has begun to look for their leader ... Of course it hasn't found it. The situation is now The second clerk is looking for the first clerk, and the entire Federation is looking for the second clerk. "

Everyone at the scene: "..."

"It's really our tribe," Hilapi said with a smile on his mouth, "the style is more free and easy."

Me: "... if the opposite Chief Executive is not there, won't it affect 'bridge'?"

"Of course it will not affect the exchanges between the two sides of the strait," the answer was delayed a few minutes from the opposite side, and the tone of this time seemed to be answered by the people of the Starring Federation. "The two executives rarely manage the affairs directly, and the Supreme Council is us. "The governing body created the Supreme Council. The latter fully reflects the will of the governing body and the entire federation."

"Ajun, do you think it's so reliable?" Sandora couldn't help it, muttering in my ear.

"Specifically, I can refer to the time when I held the expert meeting," I drew the corner of my mouth, "I have reason to believe that the void creatures on the other side can't play all kinds of sophisticated gadgets, this is the glorious tradition of our family ..."

As soon as my voice fell, I felt a wave of space around me, and the voice of the young lady sounded: "Yes, in the high-tech professional field, the void creature is basically equivalent to a mascot."

I looked up at the young lady. It has been several hours since the signal was received. It is now morning for the watch world, and Lin Xue will have the opportunity to slip out of the house at this time. But is it necessary for her rebellious girl to be so honest? Even I had the experience of going out to the Internet at twelve o'clock at night that year ...

"What's wrong? My eyes flickered with bad intentions," Lin Xue said, and then sat beside me. "I already know the situation on the road, how about it, Miss Ben's prediction is right-- The ancestors are fine. "

I have to admit that Lin Xue's prediction once again defended its 100% accuracy with actual performance, and then pointed to the communicator: "Are you going to say a few words to the old man? Now you can only send a text message. And it is delayed for several minutes, at all There is no way to exchange information. I just learned the situation of the Starring Confederation on the other side. There is nothing else for the time being. You can chat with the old man. "

"Farewell, there are never too many serious things, even if you can only send text messages, there are many things you can do," Lin Xue shook his head. "At this time, it is better to verify the bridge construction first. After all, the bridge construction information we have learned before is known from the detector on the other side and the 'drift bottle', and we have to finalize the details."

The big lady's suggestion makes sense. Of course, the others didn't say anything, so the communication channel was again given to Tavel and the scientists on the other side, and these experts began to exchange information on the "bridge".

Abyss Xiling looked at the scene in front of her, and suddenly laughed softly: "This time, my` `guess model '' is definitely conclusive."

For a long time, the Void Model of Abyss Spirit has been established based on half the data and half conjectures. Even now the Quartet cooperates and conducts many studies based on her Void Model. Her "Void Film Theory" has always lacked the necessary Examples support, but this time with the fact that the ancestors successfully reached the opposite shore, and the exact data of the nature comparison between the two sides of the strait, her conjecture is no longer an aerial pavilion, and even a group consciousness like Abyss Spirit can't help but feel Joy: She is also emotional.

Over the next half month, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction:

The communication with the opposite shore has reached a normal state. Although the operation of the relay station is inefficient, it is at least stable. Through this slow but stable communication channel, the super civilizations on both sides of the void have completely finalized all the details of the "bridge" because of the lack of A bit of misunderstanding of the "bridge" project caused by effective communication was also corrected (although this part of the error is not fatal, but it will affect the entire project process).

The new-generation deep-submersible ship manufactured by Tavel has completed the decommissioning test and the components are in good condition. Now it has entered the final combination stage. Although the previous "accident" caused the ancestors to be thrown to the other side and could not return, it also brought us expectations. With the huge amount of data related to the discontinuity outside, with the help of these data, Tavel redesigned the protection rules of deep submersibles. We have reason to believe that the United will have even better performance, and it can even Cross the discontinuity with less damage-if you don't consider returning, you might also be able to try to hit the critical layer and reach the opposite bank like the ancestors.

We have also determined that the "Star Federation" on the other side has already completed all the preparations for the "bridge building". They have created the launcher and have created a considerable area of ​​void and tranquility, waiting for the final debugging of the launcher by Abyss Schilling. Once completed, the two sides of the Strait will conduct the final "proofreading" again, and the bridge can be started.

The best news is related to the other side: their deep diving technology is slightly higher than the empire ~ www.readwn.com ~ In a recent newsletter, the experts of the Starring Federation said their new generation of deep diving vessels It is about to start. At that time, the ship will carry a relay station with strong power, good protection, and loaded with the latest decoding rules to the critical layer to completely replace the current "emergency product".

As long as this relay station is in place, both sides of the void will be able to exchange large-capacity data. Although the delay problem still exists, exchanging large-volume data packets with each other will no longer be a problem!

This is the most important link for accurate calibration of the starting ends on both sides. I didn't expect to solve it so quickly.

This series of good news makes everyone feel better every day. Although the Void Cataclysm still hangs over everyone's head, it seems that it is no longer a threat.

Even the ancestors who were stranded on the other side and unable to return to the sea seemed not so far away.

It wasn't until one day Tavier presented a special report to Sandorla and I that this smooth and easy day was suddenly broken. To be continued
