Master of the Stars

Chapter 1607: Reading courseware (Part 1)

Views:

Ronan subconsciously looked at the observation station layout shown by Aunt Kui.

This small site is actually located on the edge of a small crater. Half of the crater has collapsed, and it is basically an irregular half-moon layout.

The observation station is basically built around the intersection of one of the chords and arcs of this half-moon shape.

There are some buildings on the ground, but not many. Most of them are on the outside of the edge of the pit. Most of them were built hastily and have been reduced to shape by foreign species.

The erected "receiving tower" is the best-preserved ground building, and its location is exactly at the high point at the intersection of chords and arcs.

The command center is right next to the "receiving tower" and is located underground further away from the crater.

Therefore, judging from the distance, Ronan can easily take care of it. If he wants to be safer, he can even use the "slicer" to drive the maintenance robot to perform remote operations.

The only trouble is that the "receiving tower" is seven or eight meters above the ground. It is quite eye-catching and can be easily damaged. It is conceivable that the subsequent maintenance frequency will be very high.

As for the newly built "converter", as Xianzhu said, it is still some distance away from the "receiving tower".

It is almost to the top of the half-moon arc, a straight line distance of more than a kilometer.

It doesn't look far, but in fact, due to the existence of the arc-shaped pit edge and the limitations of the underground structure of the observation station itself, the actual distance is basically doubled.

The distance of nearly two kilometers is nothing on earth, and Ronan can take care of it even while sleeping.

However, in the reality of severe poisonous pollution, the frequent appearance of extraterrestrial species, and the poor natural environment of asteroids, it is indeed a difficult problem to frequently travel across this two-kilometer distance without causing any accidents.

In addition, Xianzhu places special emphasis on the energy pool and ground network area 1, which are actually the power heart and aorta connecting these two important places.

The energy pool is installed at the bottom of the crater, with a depth of nearly 200 meters. Area 1 of the ground network is directly connected to the energy pool, forming a V-shaped pipeline, which simultaneously supplies energy to the receiving tower and converter.

Of course this is the layout after the renovation.

Judging from historical news on public channels, at least four people from Xianzhu's rescue team died during the pipe network reconstruction project.

Xianzhu's mechanical voice came over, interrupting Ronan's thoughts: "Since it's a divided contract, there's no need to swap responsibility areas. I'm in charge of the converter side and concentrate on tinkering with this big guy; you just stay here Observation station, guard the communication module and the receiving tower, and organize the logistics reserve by the way.

"If I need any accessories here, you can send them to me through the autonomous vehicle. If the autonomous vehicle is not useful, you have to carry them. The task seems a bit complicated, are you okay?"

"No problem, sir."

Ronan responded decisively, and then added: "But I think I can also help with the converter."

Xianzhu asked Ronan to stay at the "receiving tower" and gave him a bunch of tasks. They seemed complicated and difficult, but they were indeed very difficult.

But in fact, those who understand the situation at the observation station and are knowledgeable will understand that at this stage, 70% of the "receiving tower" is technical work, and 30% is due to possible accidents such as poisonous environment, extraterritorial species, etc. . Ronan's previous performance also proved that he was more than capable of dealing with these unexpected situations.

To put it at the extreme, if you are lucky, you might be able to get through it just by sleeping.

After 40 hours.

On the contrary, the converter area is the most troublesome.

In order to maintain a reasonable interference distance, the installation location of the converter has been moved to the outermost side of the observation station, and the protective cover can only be barely reached. Various protective facilities are incomplete, and there are many accidents.

Moreover, the converter is an amplifier, and the energy pool must be dispatched there to convert the downlink "axis" spiritual wave signal from the "receiving tower" into a specific configuration framework, which radiates to cover the surrounding deep space area. With such a complicated conversion, even a large base facility equipped with a "Xuanjing Array" will have a certain probability of problems, let alone a temporary device like an observation station that has been spliced together in a hurry

So if something goes wrong, if something goes wrong in the spiritual wave transformation process, Xianzhu may be directly in that special high-energy environment, and the transformer will be blown up to the sky. The risk and uncertainty will be higher than Ronan's. Too high.

Ronan prepared his words: "Sir, you know that I am an expert in space-time configuration. In fact, I can also handle ladder-level subjects..."

"The command headquarters will send me the specific implementation plan finalized by more than ten level 10 configuration masters, and I am just the executor. The premise is, You have to keep the 'receiving tower', ensure smooth communication, don't have too many packet losses, analyze it clearly, and then send it to me."

"Well… "

"However, I appreciate your sense of responsibility. Our priority is to complete the mission, so if I don't understand anything, I will ask you for help in time, Lieutenant Ronan. Moreover, if we have the opportunity, we should have a good chat about the relay station. The thing about... In my memory chip, many scenes have lost their warmth, and reminiscing about old times has always been my favorite."

"...Okay, Lieutenant Xianzhu."

Since Xianzhu didn't want to force himself to hold on, and he knew it well, Ronan felt relieved for the time being.

From this moment on, Ronan's work at Observation Station No. 7 got on track.

It turned out that Ronan's luck was average.

He couldn't sleep for more than forty hours.

Just as Xian Zhu had expected earlier, after the "converter" was successfully opened, the powerful configurational spiritual wave radiation quickly attracted a large number of extraterrestrial species to gather. The subsequent "60 seconds" interval is about 5 or 6 minutes by Earth standards, and the observation station is indeed facing a challenge.

But Xianzhu dared to release the number of '60' seconds, and he had something to rely on.

Before Ronan, the man who crashed the plane, "awakened", he and his companions were clearing the observation station of extraterritorial species and vicious living bodies. At the same time, they were also frantically laying mines around the observation station, turning the surrounding area into a minefield. Coupled with the proper configuration and concentrated use of automatic weapons, especially anti-aircraft weapons, it is indeed possible to form an insurmountable firepower network in a short period of time.

Even if there are a few behind with strong bodies or non-physical characteristics that penetrate through, most of them are at the end of their powerful crossbows. Ronan is in the "receiving tower" and Xianzhu is around the "converter", so they can kill them quickly and prevent them from causing any damage. greater destruction.

Ronan also paid special attention to the "converter" side.

Xianzhu seems to have used some means... maybe it is the function of the "converter", which directly extracts the converted energy from the energy pool and turns it into a high-energy jet, killing high-threat targets one by one, which is quite neat.

No matter what, the "60 seconds" interval passed, and the legendary "Storm Cleansing" also arrived as scheduled.

Under the guidance of the "receiving tower" and the urging of the "converter", the high-heat storm containing the power of the rules of the "Crystal Array" quickly swept across a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Any extraterritorial species that violated the rules of the local universe would be directly destroyed. Under the conflict of rules, an "internal fire" was ignited, burning everything from the inside out.

Just this time, all the extraterritorial species near Observation Station No. 7 were wiped out.

The "Axis" configuration system of the Abyssal Area has also left deep traces in the material world around Observation Station No. 7. For a considerable period of time, it will cause tyrannical suppression of non-Abyssal system targets.

It is said that many subsequent configuration transformations can also be carried out based on this, getting twice the result with half the effort.

If everything goes well and is layered layer by layer, the "configuration imprint" around the "node" of the No. 7 observation station will soon take shape; and if other observation stations can also respond in time, several "nodes" will be formed in At the same time, in a short period of time, the impact caused by the collapse of the main base "node" can indeed be replaced.

Of course, it was this blow that almost caused the half-renovated underground network area 1 and energy pool to collapse again.

Fortunately, Ronan was prepared. Under the command of Xianzhu, he quickly strengthened the reconstruction channel in the ground network area 1 and replaced the energy guide rails for the energy pool. Survived the short blank period after the "extreme value" with no risk.

The headquarters gave high praise to the efficient operation of Observation Station No. 7, but that was all.

It's not that they are stingy with words of praise, but every second that follows, the guaranteed channel is overloaded, and communication resources become extremely tight.

Ronan and Xianzhu's judgment was correct: after forcibly adding the "Axis" spiritual wave analysis task, the communication system of the observation station and the "receiving tower" it dispatched became particularly sensitive and fragile.

To maintain the high downlink speed of the channel, do a good job of parsing and scheduling, and steadily transmit them to the "converter" is definitely a task that tests your luck.

Neither the portable airborne mold nor the communication analysis movement finally found in the observation station were sufficient to support the high-intensity analysis work of the "axis" configuration spiritual wave.

The length of time you can persist, after more than three hours, really depends on luck.

During the "ten-hour" solo dance period designated by Sir Luander, Ronan changed the accessories twice more.

The one he is working on now is the fourth one he installed himself.

Even if he found multiple spare parts in the worker bee grid in the logistics area, it seemed that he could last until the end of the "forty hours" mission.

But this "overheating-burning-replacement" rhythm is really hurtful.

During this period, Luonan and Xianzhu discussed many times, thinking about how to enhance the mechanical mold or analyze the load capacity of the movement, but there was no progress.

Because the most essential problem here lies in the movement.

Movement is the most cutting-edge knowledge in the "creation science" of Tianyuan civilization.

Not to mention that Ronan only knew a little bit about theory, even Xianzhu, a senior mechanic who had been in the army for decades, also lacked the relevant knowledge structure.

Xianzhu said this: "You can send common movements on the battlefield and let me make matching ones for them one by one. There is no problem; but let me use the existing equipment to tinker with a movement with highly integrated functions, which will be easy to control... If I had this method, even if I didn't become a knight early like Luander, I wouldn't be just a third-class lieutenant now."
