Changing Xiaoxing's appearance is very easy. As long as Xiaoxing knows exactly how to change it, she will complete the entire transformation process by herself. However, it can't just be Xiaoxing who transforms into a countercurrent fish, there must also be a number of them. Many relay stations must also be modified.
Lin Shu and Nilaya carefully performed calculations and simulations, and also conducted some tests with the transformed form of Xiaoxing, and finally determined the style and size of the relay station. The two relay stations that were originally sent over can still be used. Near the outer end, there is no big problem with using the traditional round style, but the subsequent ones need to be specially made, which leads to another delay in the progress of the expedition.
While waiting for the arrival of the relay station, Lin Shu and others continued to build and launch improved unmanned detection aircraft, gradually extending their tentacles towards the core of the galaxy with great difficulty.
After many failed or successful detections, Lin Shu has confirmed that the closer to the core of the star, the diameter of the dragon vein begins to shrink. This may be due to the strong gravitational field in real space. From this point of view, the dragon vein initially The diameter is smaller, the flow speed and density are higher. After leaving the core of the galaxy, the dragon veins begin to thicken, and then branches gradually appear, like tree-like veins, and continue to divide, until the edge of the galaxy, when the dragon veins are already thin When the planetary system cannot be supported, the boundary of the star system is determined.
As for where this huge dragon vein energy comes from, it is unknown. This is not a topic that Lin Shu and the others can study for the time being.
Another purpose of these unmanned aerial vehicles is to verify the effect of countercurrent fish. Facts have proved that the effect of countercurrent fish is surprisingly good, with the same material and formation. Just by changing the appearance, the distance that the aircraft can survive has more than tripled. You know, the significance of tripling this distance is very significant.
Theoretically, small stars now have the ability to go straight to the core of the galaxy. However, no one knows whether there are other variables and risks involved. If you dare to take risks, you can completely recruit Xiaoying or Xiaoxuan to be your deputy, and then Lin Shu and Xiaoxing will go on a separate adventure. But no one will Agree with this plan. Lin Shu himself didn¡¯t mention it.
As time passed slowly, as Lin Shu and the others obtained a large amount of data piecemeal, Xuanmen Headquarters and the Hope Research Center had a deeper understanding of the galactic core. What was originally considered an unbridgeable gap, Now a vague winding path has gradually appeared, and the entire expedition team is very excited. Even the speed of manufacturing relay stations has been greatly improved. Of course, the reduction in size of relay stations is also a reason.
With the end of the manufacturing cycle, an endless stream of relay stations have been sent to the forefront. Today, the first countercurrent fish relay station will be deployed. Since it is the first time, Lin Shu is responsible for the layout work as the host. In fact, Lin Shu did not want to rely on others for any future arrangements, because as the arrangement location gets closer and closer to the core of the galaxy, the situation of the dragon vein will become more and more complex and dangerous, and Lin Shu does not trust others to arrange it.
Of course, you can also choose automatic deployment of relay stations, but this remote control method is definitely not as good as human control.
The deployment of relay stations is not done at once, but is divided into several stages to gradually advance the relay stations. The final anchoring will not be completed until it reaches a location that is as far forward as possible and can work stably.
The relay station can be said to be the most advanced independent integrated large-scale magic weapon that Xuanmen can manufacture at this stage. In the complex dragon vein energy environment, the relay station must be able to instantly detect the flow direction, flow rate and density of the surrounding dragon vein energy. Then make corresponding formation adjustments, and also need to deal with possible sudden energy longitudinal waves and avoid them in the form of active wave elimination.
And, while automatically completing this series of adjustment actions, you must also ensure that your own coordinates are stable and transmit the complete coordinate information and transfer data back in real time.
"Lin Shu, the data transmission verification accuracy rate is over 99%, and we can continue to advance."
"Well, I understand. According to the current reaction of the formation, it can still advance about a hundred units. I will proceed in two steps. If the data transmission is unstable, I will stop at any time."
"Okay, pay attention to the coordination of the formation. To be honest, I still don't know the quality of this thing."
"Haha, you should trust the support team at the rear. Judging from the current situation, the quality is quite good, and the self-contained formation work is also very good. Don't worry, I will monitor it at any time."
"Well, be careful."
"No problem, then I'll start."
The deployment situation of Lin Shu¡¯s relay station was displayed in real time on the projection in Xiaoxing¡¯s command room. Everyone listened to the conversation between Niraya and Lin Shu. Lin Yao didn¡¯t speak. Nilaya was in charge here, but Lin Yao didn¡¯t.Although she was so ignorant, she also wanted to give her brother some advice.
On another projection, a schematic diagram is displayed. From there, one can see the location where the relay station will be arranged. This location has just reset two nodes according to Lin Shu¡¯s estimation. On the projection, one can see the relay station representing The triangular symbol is slowly moving towards the first node. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the projection. Unknowingly, even their breathing has slowed down.
Finally, the red triangle symbol coincided with the circular node. Nilaya couldn¡¯t wait to ask Lin Shu on the projection: "Lin Shu, the first position has arrived, please confirm."
"Well, the coordinates match. Let's conduct a data transmission experiment. I will collect the working status data of the relay station first and send it to you later."
"OK."
The deployment went smoothly, and everyone in the command room breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Lin Shu successfully moved the relay station forward again. Until the last node, the relay station performed perfectly, and there was a burst of warm cheers in the command room. Then, the good news was quickly transmitted to the Yuling and Hope in the distance, but it would be more than ten hours before they received the news.
Next, Lin Shu conducted a series of tests on the relay station, allowing the relay station to complete various automatic posture adjustments. After confirming that the relay station fully met the design requirements, Lin Shu uploaded and sent back the small star from the relay station. When Lin Shu appeared at the command room time. There was another cheer in the command room.
Lin Shu knows why everyone is so happy. The successful deployment of the new relay station means that a pier leading to the rainbow bridge of the galaxy core has been erected. The day when we step into the galaxy core may not be far away anymore.
Lin Shu was also very happy, but now was not the time to be happy. Lin Shu waited for everyone to cheer for a while, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, I understand everyone's mood. However, we have just begun. The cheering should wait until we enter the core of the galaxy. Now we still have There is a lot of work to be done, so please get back to your jobs."
Everyone put away their smiles and solemnly returned to their seats, waiting for Lin Shu's next order.
"Xiaoxing, prepare to set off, target the newly deployed No. 3 relay station. Advance at cruising speed."
"yes!"
Xiaoxing carefully increased his propulsion power and slowly moved towards the No. 3 relay station at a stable speed. With the No. 3 relay station as a reference coordinate, Xiaoxing could control his flight attitude more accurately, although the speed was still relatively slow. , but very stable.
Lin Shu was very satisfied with Xiaoxing¡¯s performance and smiled at the fish-shaped Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing happily twisted her tail and swam in the air more cheerfully, venting her inner happiness.
Soon after, after experiencing two relatively strong dragon vein energy fluctuations, Xiaoxing arrived near the No. 3 relay station. After coordinate verification, the No. 3 relay station was very stable. Next, Xiaoxing will use this as a base point to once again determine what lies ahead. The dragon vein data within the distance are calculated in the most detailed manner to prepare data for the deployment of the next No. 4 relay station.
Ten days later, the second relay station arrived, dragged by Xiao Xuan. After detailed inspection by Lin Yao, Nilaya and others, the data and coordinates were fed into the relay station, and the second deployment began again.
For a long period of time, people on the little star were repeating this seemingly boring and monotonous, but very dangerous job. Step by step, moving towards the core of the galaxy with firm steps.
Naturally, it will not be smooth sailing during this period. The most dangerous thing is to be attacked by a strong longitudinal wave. The small star is okay because there are many top Xuanmen strongmen standing guard to protect it, but those unattended relay stations are troublesome. Yes, strong longitudinal waves are a severe test for all relay stations.
It must be said that Xuanmen's design and implementation capabilities are very strong. In this severe test, not a single relay station was damaged, although some were pushed away from their original positions, and the communication functions of some relay stations were even affected. But it can be repaired without damage.
In fact, not long after, these relay stations returned to their original coordinates on their own, and Lin Shu only needed to send people there to repair and replace the formations and magic weapons. The excellent performance of the relay stations convinced the expedition team The members are very proud, and it also greatly increases everyone's confidence.
After several years of hard work, finally, the core of the galaxy is within the sensing distance of Lin Shu's awakening technique. Next, Lin Shu and the others will send out the first unmanned detection aircraft, preparing to cross this relatively narrow Dragon Vein Canyon and enter the galaxy. Inside the core.
Everyone at Little Star stopped what they were doing and looked up at the projection.The image of ? was heard, and the voice of the command room came to my ears.
"Final inspection."
"The self-test is completed and everything is normal."
"Navigation communication is completed and the system is normal."
"The power system starts normally!"
"Launch!"
"Probe Core 001 is launched!"
A blue-white light lit up at the tail of the detector. The countercurrent fish-shaped detector began to accelerate slowly, and then flew faster and faster along a swaying route toward the front. On its tip On the pointed head, a golden eggshell-shaped thing slowly appeared, like a golden hat, which looked very beautiful.
Finally, the light gradually faded away and disappeared from everyone's sight, but everyone's eyes still refused to move away from the projection. There were still changing numbers there, representing various data returned from the detector, until These have finally stopped moving. Everyone knows that the probe has flown out of the signal transmission range. As for the fate of the probe, everyone is praying, hoping that it can return smoothly. Only if it can come back can the Little Star be launched. This last step forward.
