Through difficult and slow communication, we finally slowly learned what happened to the deep-diving ship after it lost contact.
The ancestors did seize the one percent chance of survival: they successfully crossed the critical layer!
What happened next also confirmed the void model of Abyss Xiling. After the deep-diving ship crossed the critical layer, the infection it encountered suddenly decreased, and as it continued to advance, the pollution of orderly things by the abyss began to become ineffective.
, the deep submersible ship shows a very high "immunity effect", which is consistent with the situation of the shipwrecks and some parts of the black shuttle we have on hand.
Therefore, even though the deep-diving ship was on the verge of disintegration when it crossed the critical layer, and only the last layer of defense and the core area were still functioning normally, it still reluctantly completed this thrilling journey, and the last layer of defense was still intact.
When the collapse was declared, only the core cabin rushed out of the Gate of the Abyss - it was already the Gate of the Abyss on the other side.
The basic structure of the deep submersible ship is the same as that of most Imperial starships. Even if its various compartments are disintegrated, they will retain relatively complete navigation capabilities and living environment. Therefore, only one core compartment of the deep submersible ship is left in a strange world.
It still maintains the ability to sail. Although most of the laboratories and detection equipment have been destroyed, the ancestors successfully found signs of life in the strange universe by relying on the small workstation that came with the core module.
The text on the communicator showed how the locals came into contact with their ancestors: "This is quite lucky. That universe is one of the remote colonies of the Ring Federation. Our purification force received a report of a troubled sea exit in the colony and went to deal with the crisis.
Then we discovered a strange spacecraft hovering over the colony. We are not sure what your time system is, but the people on the spacecraft said they have been cruising in space for 'two days'."
In other words, the ancestors officially crossed this void structure that no one had crossed before two days ago. This is a very important data. Based on it, Tavel can roughly estimate how "wide" the space under the Gate of the Abyss is.
.
As for the "Exit of the Troubled Sea" mentioned by people on the other side, there is no doubt that it is the name of the Gate of the Abyss on the other side. They call the Abyss the "Troubled Sea". Of course, the Gate of the Abyss is the "Exit of the Troubled Sea". It is really easy to understand.
Understand.
"Can our crew talk to us?" Sandora personally sent a message, and a few minutes later a line of text appeared on the communicator: "This is Anseth, everyone is here, Anna and Tana are under
There were some minor injuries, but the others are fine. We are learning about this new world. The Ring Federation is a completely different place from the Empire, and so is their technology."
"It's a pity that I can only see text," Sandora muttered and complained to me. "Communication is too difficult. More complex messages will be interfered to the point where they are almost impossible to decode... The relay station will not be able to bear it."
"It's much better than before," Abyss Xiling was very optimistic. "By the way, let's ask about the situation of the relay station. That thing can't run forever. The critical layer of the abyss is also polluted. It determines how we can communicate with the other shore.
how long."
Tavel nodded and immediately sent these questions in the most concise way possible.
There was another delay of several minutes. A relatively long paragraph appeared on the holographic projection: "Following Sandora's prompts, we dropped the relay station at the moment when the spacecraft crossed the critical layer, which was the moment when the pollution reversed.
The condition is basically intact. However, because the spacecraft was severely damaged and the Gnaku where the relay station is located has been damaged, there is a slight fault in the relay station itself. After crossing the critical layer, we maintained communication with the relay station for a period of time and determined that the fault occurred on the 30th
Three to thirty-five forwarding modules. It has no impact on the overall function, but it will reduce the communication bandwidth... The following information has not been sent."
Obviously, the old man had not finished speaking. This was to reduce the pressure on the relay station. It took a few minutes for the next message to appear in front of everyone: "Continue... The antenna power of the core cabin of the spacecraft is very limited. We have confirmed the status of the relay station.
Later, I tried to send a safe signal to the empire through it, but failed and lost contact with the relay station. According to the last data obtained before the contact was lost, the relay station was in good working condition and was located on the 'safe side', and could continue to work for sixty to nine days.
On the 10th (Imperial Standard Time)...the following message was not sent."
A few minutes later, there was another paragraph: "Another: The Ring Federation is analyzing material samples from the Empire's deep-diving ships to find ways to improve the materials and technology of their deep-diving equipment, but they encountered the same problem as us.
Side matter is incompatible, technology is incompatible, and rules are not universal. The Ring Federation also has technology similar to 'information-matter' conversion, but it cannot copy any components of our deep submersible ship. But they produced it based on the structure of the deep submersible ship.
Some inspiration may be helpful for its development. They plan to also set up a relay station at the critical layer to replace or supplement the temporary relay station we set up in a hurry, and the communication situation will be greatly improved by then."
The three paragraphs finally make the situation clear. The current situation does not seem to be very good, but it is not too bad either.
The bad news is that there is indeed something wrong with the relay station, which prevents its working status from reaching its peak, and its working life is only a few dozen days at most. If the relay station cannot be reset within these dozens of days, the connection between the empire and the other side will still be interrupted.
The good news is that the other side has gotten some inspiration from the Empire's deep-diving ships, and combined with their own relatively advanced (at least more advanced than the Empire's) deep-diving technology, the other side should be able to set up a formal relay station at the critical level. If everything goes well, maybe
They can do it before the existing relays collapse.
"The deep-diving technology on the other side seems to be different from our development method," after several more exchanges, Tavel made a judgment with the bold hypothesis of a scientist, "They have launched Black Shuttle and other unmanned spacecraft.
, and all successfully reached the 'home shore', which shows that their deep diving technology can reach the 'extreme dive', but their black shuttles and unmanned spaceships were either completely destroyed after arriving at the home coast, or only the last remaining
The core detector, this 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'
But it’s still the empire’s side.”
"It's a pity that it was due to an accident," my sister sighed, "luck is a huge factor and cannot be replicated."
"Results that cannot be replicated are not achievements. This is a basic scientific concept," Tavel also sighed. But he soon became excited, "Anyway, everything has made great progress now. As long as we establish contact with the other side, both of us can
If both sides have the other party's deep-diving equipment as research samples, then the local and other shores will have the basis for "joint research". Just like digging tunnels on both sides of a mountain at the same time, the project will get twice the result with half the effort. Setting up a relay station at the critical layer
The idea has been proven to be feasible. Although we successfully installed a relay station due to accident and luck, the technology on the other side should make it easier for them to install high-power stations... The focus of the empire's research in the next period of time will be
Enhance the transceiver equipment of the deep submersible port. And set up more reinforcement transfer stations between the Gate of the Abyss and the Discontinuity Zone to expand the communication bandwidth, at least to the extent that data can be exchanged with the other shore."
Bridging requires the start-up ends on both sides to be "synchronized", and this synchronization is not just as simple as the two sides agreeing on a time and pressing the switch at the same time. It requires a series of adjustments to the parameters of the start-up end to ensure "complete information." Mapping", so that the two start-up terminals can be connected together instantly after activation. It is still the classic metaphor: digging a tunnel on both sides of the mountain at the same time, both sides need to be accurately positioned to ensure that the project goes smoothly. Otherwise... don't even think about getting two A tunnel is such a beautiful thing, but both sides have to collapse.
Tavel and Sandora continued to talk to Anseth there every few minutes, and occasionally there would be personnel on duty at the deep dive port (probably a similar staff member) from the "Star Ring Federation" to answer our questions. , we can confirm from the few words of conversation that 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 such a set of communication equipment, and the ancestors are sitting in front of the equipment. Around them. A circle of excited scientists stood around...
At this time, another message came from the communicator: "Another: There are also void creatures in the Star Ring Federation, and there are two of them. It can be roughly confirmed that these two rulers are the same species as the void creatures we know. Star Ring Federation Originally two independent super civilizations, they decided to merge into one after the two void creatures came into contact and communicated for a long time. Within the knowledge of the Star Ring Federation, there is no third void creature. The above situation happened in the past two days. Got it.”
Sheila and Xingchen happened to appear at this time. They understood what happened before, and now they saw the words on the holographic projection at a glance. Xingchen didn't react at all, but Sheila rushed forward with a strange cry: "Xingchen Look! Two! Two appear at once! There is a population explosion, and our clan is ushering in a population explosion!"
Everyone at the scene: "..."
I knew it would be like this!
Xing Chen and I worked together to pull down the crazy Huron God King, who was still dancing and dancing: "Let me go! Let me go! I want to talk to them, I want to talk to my compatriots on the other side!" The population of our clan has exploded! Now there are five clan members, five! It is about to reach the point where we can’t count them on one hand. Aren’t you two excited? By the way, Xingchen, let’s have a baby quickly, so that it will be real I can’t count them on one hand…”
Xingchen and I let go of our hands in tacit agreement and threw King Huron to the ground. Then we approached the communicator and watched Sandora quickly say something: "The void creatures on the other side? What kind of people are they? With your own eyes Have you seen it?"
Although we know that inert creatures like void creatures should have the same temper no matter where they go, we are still curious about the void creatures on the other side. Of course, it would be better if we can communicate directly. At this time, I can't help but talk about the current situation. Communication method that can only send text messages: It would be great if the bandwidth could be improved a little more.
"It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes," the ancestor wrote back. "The rulers of the Ring Federation do not often manage state affairs within the territory. According to the locals, they seem to be very keen on...hide and seek, yes, that is hide and seek. .One of them ran to hide in the depths of the void two hundred years ago. The other one went to find him, but he has not been found yet, and the Star Ring Federation has begun to look for their leader... Of course he has not been found. The current situation is The Second Consul is looking for the First Consul, and the entire federation is looking for the Second Consul."
Everyone at the scene: "..."
"They are really from our tribe," Xilapi said with a smile, "The way they act is relatively free and easy."
Me: "...If the chief executive on the other side is not here, won't it affect the 'building of bridges'?"
"Of course it will not affect cross-strait exchanges," the answer came from the other side after a delay of several minutes. This time the tone seemed to be someone from the Ring Federation. "The two consuls rarely directly manage affairs. The Supreme Council is ours."
The governing body. The consul created the Supreme Council. The latter can fully embody the will of the consul and the entire federation."
"Ajun, do you think this is reliable?" Sandora couldn't bear it anymore and whispered in my ear.
"You can refer to the expert meeting I held for details," I said, "I have reason to believe that the void creatures on the other side are incapable of playing with all kinds of sophisticated gadgets. This is the glorious tradition of our family..."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a burst of space fluctuations coming from beside me, and the eldest lady's voice immediately sounded: "Yes, in the high-precision professional field, void creatures are basically equivalent to mascots."
I looked up at the eldest lady. Several hours had passed since I received the signal. It should be morning in the world now. Only then did Lin Xue have the chance to sneak out of the house. But she, a rebellious girl, needs to be so honest.
Huh? Even I had the experience of climbing over the wall to go online at twelve o'clock at night...
"What are you thinking about again? There was a malicious look in his eyes," Lin Xue curled her lips, and then sat next to me, "I already knew the situation on the road, so what, my lady's prediction is right -
Ancestor is fine."
I had to admit that Lin Xue's prediction once again defended its 100% accuracy with actual performance, and then pointed to the communicator: "Do you want to say a few words to the old man? Now you can only send text messages. And the delay is several minutes, which is not possible at all.
There is no way to exchange information. I just learned about the situation of the Star Ring Federation on the other side. I have nothing else to do for the time being. You can chat with the old man."
"It's better to say goodbye. You can never have too much business. Even if you can only send text messages, there are still many things you can do," Lin Xue shook her head. "At this time, it is better to verify the bridge building first. After all, we
The bridge-building information I learned before was all obtained from the detectors and 'drift bottles' on the other side. It would be better to finalize as many details as possible."
The eldest lady's suggestion made sense. Of course, the others didn't say anything, so the communication channel was once again handed over to Tavel and the scientists on the "other shore", and these experts began to exchange information on "building bridges".
Abyss Xiling looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly chuckled: "This time my 'conjecture model' is finally confirmed."
Abyss Xiling's void model has always been built based on half data and half conjecture. Even now that four parties have cooperated and carried out many studies based on her void model, her "void membrane theory" still lacks the necessary
Supported by examples, but this time with the fact that her ancestors successfully reached the other side, and with the exact data comparing the properties of the abyss on both sides of the strait, her conjecture was finally no longer a castle in the air. Even the collective consciousness of Abyss Xiling couldn't help but feel a burst of
Joy: She also has feelings.
Over the next half month or so, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction:
Communication with the other side has reached normalcy. Although the operation of the relay station is inefficient, it is at least very stable. Through this slow but stable communication channel, the super civilizations on both sides of the void have completely finalized all the details of "building a bridge". Previously, due to lack of
A little misunderstanding of the "bridging" project caused by effective communication has also been corrected (although this part of the mistake is not fatal, it will affect the progress of the entire project).
The new-generation deep-submersible ship manufactured by Tavel has completed disassembly and test runs. All components are in good condition and is now entering the final assembly stage. Although the previous "accident" caused our ancestors to be thrown to the other side and unable to return, it also brought us surprises
In addition, there is a huge amount of data related to the discontinuous zone. With the help of this data, Tavel redesigned the protection rules of the deep submersible ship. We have reason to believe that the Union II will have even more outstanding performance. It will even
It can cross the discontinuity zone with only minor damage - if return is not considered, perhaps it can also try to hit the critical layer and reach the other side like its ancestors.
We are also sure that the "Star Ring Federation" on the other side has already completed all the preparations for "building the bridge". They have created the startup terminal and have created a large area of void tranquility. They are just waiting for the final debugging of the startup terminal by Abyss Xiling.
Once completed, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will conduct one final "proofreading" and then the bridge construction can begin.
The best good news is related to the other side: their deep-diving technology is indeed slightly better than that of the Empire. In the latest communication, experts from the Star Ring Federation said that their new generation of deep-diving ship will be launched soon.
The ship will carry a powerful, well-protected relay station 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 will still exist, exchanging large-volume data packets will no longer be a problem!
This is the most important link to accurately calibrate the starting ends on both sides. I didn't expect that it would be solved so soon.
This series of good news makes everyone feel better day by day. Although the void cataclysm still hangs over everyone's heads, it seems that it is no longer a threat.
Even the ancestors who were stranded on the other side and unable to return seemed not so far away.
Until one day when Tavel presented a special report to Sandora and I, this smooth sailing, relaxing and peaceful day was suddenly broken. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
