MTL - Xiling Empire-Chapter 1536 signal
Deep diving test port, control center-monitoring group.
In the space outside the control center, 122 groups of antennas point to the gate of the abyss, and more relay stations and abyss communication arrays than these antennas operate day and night inside the dark gate. These advanced equipment form A seamless communication chain continuously monitors the "world" under the gate at the cost of extremely high losses. Don't even miss it for a second.
Today is the seventh day when the deep submarine is completely disconnected. As in the previous six days, only the clutter is returned from the antenna. No orderly information that can be decoded appears. The gate of the abyss is like a wild swirl. No vitality can be seen at the bottom of the vortex.
But the high-level Schilling Angels in charge of the communication system and the monitoring system are still dutifully waiting in the working area of the monitoring team, focusing all their attention on the devices in front of them, even if the sound coming from the ears is always chaotic. Interfering with the signal, the silver-haired and gold-eyed female angel did not dare to relax in the slightest-even in the six days she recorded only clutter.
According to the "dive" speed of the deep submersible ship and rough calculations of the void model, if the deep submersible ship can survive, it should already have arrived at the opposite shore and sent back information. A: The deep dive ship has been completely destroyed, or although it has successfully reached the opposite shore, it has unfortunately fallen into a barren void without super civilization.
Apostles of the Spirit are not disturbed by negative emotions. Even the most basic soldiers can be immune to various emotional and psychological abnormalities (unless they are attacked by a special existence such as a spirit seizure or spiritual assault), but even if the spirit is tough Such as iron. The thought of the deep submerged ship being completely destroyed meant that all of the ancestors might have been killed. They still feel sad.
"Zizi--"
As a high-level researcher, Angel of Spirit was not disturbed by the irritable emotions in her heart. She just frowned, putting bad thoughts into another process at the core of her thinking, while the main process still focused on the monitoring equipment in front of her.
"Zizi--"
There seems to be some orderly signals from the monitoring equipment, but it is quickly covered by clutter. When you look for it, you can't see anything. In the historical record, there are only a bunch of seemingly meaningless lines and irregularities. Combined garbled.
"Zizi--"
Just before the Spirit Angel was ready to switch monitoring channels. And when the momentary expectation was forgotten for a moment, the short signal appeared again, this time it seems more obvious than before, and the recording system shows a continuous small curve that repeatedly appears in a certain range. . "Zizi-Zizi-", the orderly signal that repeats constantly seems to be as loud as hitting the core of thinking!
signal! Ordered signals! This is an ordered signal from the other side!
The huge emotional shock seems to break through the threshold of rational thinking, but this is only an instant hallucination produced by the core of thinking. The watchkeeper has kept calm in the first place. She did not cheer ecstatically, nor did she call her companion or superior when the situation could not be determined. According to the regulations, she immediately connected to the duty host of the control center and uploaded these short signals to the host and used the latter Super computing power began to parse these short codes. Then she adjusted one-third of the 122 antennas, concentrated them all to the frequency band that she just received the signal, and tracked that signal source with one-third of the monitoring power of the entire control center. Not enough, she added 15 more antennas-so that signal appeared more clearly in the monitoring system.
This is not necessarily news from the ancestors. It is likely that it was just a call from the other side, after all, they had been doing it. This time, it may just happen. You cannot draw any conclusions until the final facts cannot be determined. This is the professional quality that a technical worker must have, so the Spirit Angel has wisely remained calm after doing all this, just waiting for the host to return to crack information.
The wait did not last long, but it also seemed to be a full year. With a slight system prompt, the cracked message appeared on the holographic projection in front of me. It was just a few words. Seeing these In words, the Spirit Angel no longer doubts:
"We are alive."
Sandora and I were awakened from bed by an emergency communication at 4:30 in the morning, and my sister and Qian Qian were also awakened together. Of course, I believe that Lin Xue should have received this order in her house. "Alarm", because I felt a burst of irritability in my spiritual connection: it was the anger that got up when the young lady who didn't sleep enough was awakened.
But soon no one had any opinion on this emergency communication, because the news from the deep dive port: the ancestors are still alive!
Even with the fastest Void Shuttle, it will take a whole number of hours to run from the Empire Capital to the Deep Dive Port, plus this time it is not necessary for us to attend any experiments in person, so everyone who was awakened from their sleep and Instead of going to the deep dive port, I ran directly to the Shadow City Research Center and connected the deep dive port monitoring team through the data network to let the other party transfer the signal.
Harlan and Abyss Schilling were already waiting here when a group of people rushed to the deep diving project department, and Tavel's body was debugging a group of equipment in the center of the hall.
Seeing us appear, Harlan didn't speak, just raised his finger to the holographic projection next to him.
There was only one sentence on the holographic projection: "We are alive."
Below this sentence are dense data and charts, indicating the forwarding strength, receiving rules, encoding methods, etc. of this message, as well as various data required for information source positioning and reverse transmission, although it cannot be seen completely Yes, but I know this is the key to cracking this short message and helping us to reach the other side.
"Only this sentence?" Sandora frowned at the Abyss, and Tavel was busy operating equipment there, so naturally only the second expert on site could speak.
"Well, it was broadcast for a total of three minutes, and the content was just this sentence," Abyss Noble nodded. There was a red light on the large box behind her, and a noticeable hum came from inside the box. Obviously she is also in a high-speed computing state: her ontology is not here. When high-speed computing is actually the spiritual network of the abyss area is active, and the current state of this big box is the result of massive data exchange. "The actual broadcast length should be longer than this It may be that the interference of the discontinuous zone affects the communication quality, so that your antenna can only receive the three minutes of information, and because the antenna strength is not enough, the information sent from this side should not reach the other side. The other side does not know this side Is it possible to terminate the broadcast at any time after receiving the signal? Antenna strength and discontinuous band interference ... It is really an unsolvable problem. "
I didn't care about the sigh of the abyss, and when seeing the busy work over Tavel, it seemed to come to an end and hurriedly asked, "How about? Can you increase the strength of sending and receiving? Filtering the interference?"
"The sensitivity of all antennas has been raised to the highest level. Bubble has also established a host array to filter interference. The reception problem should be solved soon, but the antenna strength ... It is difficult to continue to improve the strength of the single machine. The technology is currently limited. such."
At this time, Qian Qian could not help crying, "What should I do?"
"Increase the number. Multicasting and channel overlaps are used to improve communication quality. Although this cumulative number does not fundamentally increase the intensity of the broadcast, it can greatly improve the clarity of the broadcast and allow the relay stations at the critical level of the abyss to be higher. Power work. The decoding on the other side will be easier, "Tavel said quickly." Subordinates have activated the communication systems of several other deep-dive ports. Starfield is also connecting their detection stations online as soon as possible. Broadcasting at the same time in several abyss gates will definitely change. Theoretically, this is the case. "
"But the communication network of the Protoss and the Empire is not directly connected. If you use an over-limit connection, you have to go through the translation process. This is a loss in itself. It reduces the degree of network coordination," Abyss Helen said, "This will affect the effect ... and The Protoss's detection station is limited by its own structure when broadcasting. Its signal format is fixed, and may interfere with the signal broadcast by the Empire a little, but it will increase the workload of the relay station. Wait a minute, there is me in the abyss area. I can start broadcasting from there, it only takes a few minutes to sync. "
"Using the radio station in the abyss area ..." I froze a bit, my face was a little strange, "I can't think of it before."
Sandorah narrowed her eyes and thought about other things, and then she looked up: "Well, using a broadcast point in the abyss is a good way to expand the channel greatly, but there is a problem: the network and empire in the abyss Isn't the network in the district absolutely isolated? How to synchronize? This kind of multicast must be effective under the condition of synchronization. Although the Protoss data network and Imperial data network need to be translated, at least they are connected. "
As soon as I thought about it, I almost wanted to take the second sentence: why can't it be mobile?
However, considering that this sentence might be bitten by Sandora, I didn't dare to say it.
"Isolation is to prevent me from being purified, so just avoid purification ..." Abyss Spirit looked at me and then shrugged. "Of course, I know you definitely don't agree to let the void creatures leave the Empire network, so there is a compromise. Solution: Isolate the data link of the deep dive port from your general network, synchronize this part of the data link with the network in the abyss area, restore the network after sending the information, and clear it by the power of the void creature. May penetrate from the abyss area Pollution over here. Although the steps are a little more complicated, a Schilling host with sufficient computing power can perform this process. You only need to pay a little risk and trust: are you willing to let your deep dive data link open to the abyss area? "
She might have thought Sandora was hesitant, but the latter nodded sternly: "Okay, no problem."
Noting the surprised look of Abyss Spirit, Sandora smiled: "This time has been the abyss zone showing sincerity, and we can occasionally show trust. And it is just a deep dive port ... even if something goes wrong, With the current strength of the empire, new ones can be made at any time. The standby abyss gates have double-digit numbers. "
This time Abyss has no more comments. I noticed that her figure was dim a lot, and the large box behind her also emitted a brighter red light: she should be mobilizing the resources of the abyss area.
This network handover is not a physical operation, but a data calculation based on the virtual environment. As long as a part of the telemetry antenna is pointed at a few specific coordinates in the abyss area, and then the Schilling host performs calculations on the network, a temporary data exchange can be established. Platform, so everything is quickly completed: all the deep dive ports in the Empire Zone and the deep dive facilities in the Abyss Zone are temporarily connected into one. An ultra-high-power broadcast system took shape in just ten minutes.
After the new system was set up, Tavel breathed deeply and solemnly. As if she was an Apostle of the Spirit, she also needed this method to calm down her mood. Then she turned her face and sent the edited information in advance to the "bottom" of the Abyss Gate through this huge multicast system. : "Here is the Spirit Empire. The message was received. Please reply."
We don't know how much information can be exchanged on this fragile connection path, so instead of sending images or audio rashly, we sent a simple text with a "dictionary" that can be decoded by itself. This is for some translation process on the other side: if they also use a similar translation process.
According to the information received from the other side, the other side's civilization should be able to understand this self-decoding rule. Multi-layer consideration is not a bad thing anyway.
Then there were long and difficult minutes waiting, the message had been sent out, and all the antennas in the Empire and Abyss areas would continue to broadcast this message to the other side, and all we could do was wait: there was not enough effective There is no “send-receipt” method for reference. No one knows whether this message successfully reached its destination, and no one knows how long the "communication delay" in that weird structure separating the two sides of the strait is. Before the reply arrives, all it can do is wait.
"Here is the Star Alliance Federation. Receive the message and say hello to the Spirit Empire."
A line of text appeared abruptly on the communicator. There is a special mark under the "Starring Federation", which indicates that this word is not a noun with a precise meaning translated according to the decoding rules, but a "provisional name" that is easy for both parties to understand and communicate, and is neither transliterated nor freely translated.
The text trembled on the communicator, which seemed to indicate that the person on the other side was sending the message with the same excitement.
The efforts of countless epochs finally ushered in the dawn of this moment ... connected! !!
"Long live !!" Qian Qian is the most unable to suppress emotions. So the first one cheered, under her infection. Even those who were hostile to her sister couldn't help but cheer up, and soon a few people became happy, but Tavel and the experts at the scene remained calm: although their eyes were equally hot, but no one was Affects the job at hand.
"Okay, well, there will be opportunities for celebration in the future." I had to hold my shallow head to calm the girl, and then, while holding the vigor girl who was still bubbling, turned her head to look at Tavel, "Ask about the ancestors."
Tavel once again revised and improved the "dictionary" based on the news from the other side, and based on the previously collected information and the information submitted by Abyss Hilling, he initially determined the best signal format for communicating with the other side's civilization, and then issued the first Two texts: "We have been aware of the issues related to" bridge building ", and now we have a scientific research vessel involved in turbulence and lost contact. Is it on your side?"
After the news was sent out, there was a period of silence. After three minutes, nothing appeared on the communicator. I looked at the time and meditated in my heart: a delay of three minutes, a small part of which was consumed by layers of transfer and information transcoding. Coupled with the distortion effect of the abyss environment on "time", these things should be able to be compensated by technical means. The rest is probably the "hard delay" on both sides of the void. How long will this period be? One minute or two minutes? Can it be solved by technical means?
A line was displayed on the communicator: "The spacecraft was severely damaged, but the core was retained, and the personnel on the spacecraft were unharmed."
"Hoo--" I breathed a sigh of relief. Although I had seen the words "we are still alive" before, I got a more affirmative answer at this time, and this heart completely fell back.
Next, Tavel began to send messages one by one, sending the issues we care about to the other party as concisely as possible, and the communication process was so slow that it was crazy: every word had to be delayed for several minutes!
This is an inconceivable thing for those who have become accustomed to the convenience of the Empire's data network. Even the rudimentary Internet on the planet will not accept this kind of speedy communication, but it is "main shore" and "opposite shore" maintenance. The only way to talk. The senior officials of our empire gathered in front of the communicator ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ In front of them are the best scientists of the empire, using the most advanced communication equipment in the sky (should be the same across the shore), using the most concise information coding at present Difficult communication that takes a few minutes to communicate a few words.
We dare not send too much information at a time, because according to the calculation of signal noise, once the amount of information exceeds a certain threshold, it is possible to burn the relay station located at the critical layer: that is the only way for us to communicate with the other side, if it is burned God knows when it is time to set up the next one, and we can't always have another "accident".
"It feels like a group of aliens wearing power armor squatting in a cave to drill wood for fire," as shallow as before, his brain is wide open, and the metaphor proposed is extremely novel and exquisite. "Ancestors can survive on the other side? "
"I don't think it's okay," I watched as Tavier struggled to communicate with the other side, and said casually, "the material on the other side and the other side is not 100% incompatible, and the other side's civilization is also super-civilized. We all have ways to deal with the black shuttle. And the wreckage of the deep dive ship on the other side, the problem of feeding a few survivors on the other side should also be small. "
This difficult communication lasted for several hours, and we finally got a rough idea of what happened after the deep dive ship lost contact.
