Using zero elements for energy? This is obviously a very extravagant solution, not to mention the rare process of zero elements, even the frequent transportation of materials, which is also a troublesome problem, which is obviously unacceptable to the Epsilon people who pay attention to work efficiency.

Generally speaking, the relay station only plays the role of a bridge, if a bridge needs to be renovated once in three days before it can be opened to traffic, then, what is the use of building?

Therefore, the relay station must have a stable and efficient energy source, preferably with local materials and independent development and utilization.

Eventually, the Ipsilons hit the idea on the heads of those huge gas planets, which are generally composed of hydrogen and helium, and the reserves of helium-3, the raw material for clean fusion, are very huge, in the case of Jupiter in the solar system, the mass of helium-3 alone is equivalent to 80 Earths.

There is no doubt that as long as the helium3 on these gaseous planets is well utilized, a long-term, stable and convenient energy supply system can be formed.

In addition, there is another benefit, the helium-3 element is used locally, and the relay station can free up more space to store Source Zero, which is as large as it, and can be replenished with zero element, if it is used alone to delay the collapse of the wormhole, it is enough to last for a hundred years.

As a result, the repeaters are equipped with helium-3 collectors, and every two months, they enter the atmospheres of the gaseous planets of their respective star systems to collect helium-3 elements, which are used to run fusion reactions and output the energy required by each system module.

For example, the Great Black Spot Storm Ring is formed because of the repeater's acquisition system, and as long as the repeater is still in the Terminus for a day, it will not fade for a day.

"I see." After listening to Tang Fang's narration, it took a long time for 5 people to digest and absorb this information.

Claire raised her head and swept the diamond ball of light: "So, the relay station can break out of the atmosphere of the final star and enter the universe?" ”

Tang Fang nodded: "It's easy. ”

In addition to the way to escape from the final star, he also found a solution to the problem of the repeater deviating from the coordinates.

In a previous conversation with Claire, he had said that the "generator" was missing a crucial link. Actually, it's not one link that is missing, but two. Before using the "generator" to make a group jump, the Epsilon will use the communication facility in advance to send a jump request to the repeater. After receiving the jump request, the repeater will send a response signal if it is in the normal position, and if it is replenishing energy inside the gas planet, it will activate the automatic navigation system, return to the normal position first, and then send a response signal, so that the jump can be completed efficiently and safely.

The Morningstar did not send a jump request in advance before entering the transition state, and the repeater naturally did not sail to its original position, so there was an inaccuracy in the navigation star map. Of course, it doesn't matter if the experienced warship pilot makes a jump request or not, they can easily find the location of the repeater by following the guidance of the subspace buoy.

To be honest, even if Tang Fang knew about this early on, he wouldn't be able to do it, and the Morningstar didn't have the communication equipment to transmit the jump request in advance.

However, now that there is a repeater as a base, it is easy to do with a qiē. He can use the communication equipment here to obtain the location of other jump repeaters in the universe in advance, which can be used to update the navigation star map.

As expected, the repeater was on its own, and there was not a single Epsilon in the entire ruins, not even a corpse. This made Tang Fang very puzzling, he had previously retrieved the internal surveillance video of the repeater, at the beginning of the construction of the repeater, there were some statue guards here for daily assembly, maintenance, and patrol work, but as time went by, the statue guards became fewer and fewer, until it finally became a dead field.

Where are the Ipsilons? Why are there fewer and fewer statue guards?

He couldn't help but frown deeply when he thought of the scene he had experienced on the road to that similar assembly workshop. Could it be that these mechanical products also have dormancy? It is important to know that the repeater absorbs helium 3 for fusion reaction, and there is no problem of insufficient energy, and these mechanical products should always survive.

"Hey, hey, Tang Fang, what do you think?" Walton interrupted his musings, "Should we tell the Morning Star that we're safe?" ”

"yes, how did I forget about this stubble, wait a minute." With that, he turned and walked back to the platform, his index finger tapping lightly on a curtain of light in mid-air.

A few seconds later, more than a dozen cyan rays of light shot out from the center of the light curtain, drawing a holographic projection map in mid-air.

"Tang Fang, is that you?" Grant in the picture frowned, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous.

"It's me." Tang Fang walked up to him and let a laser sweep across his body from top to bottom: "Don't worry, everyone is safe and sound, we have arrived at the control center along the way." ”

Thinking that he saw the image transmitted by the laser scanning equipment, Grant breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, I haven't seen contact for so long, I thought something had changed." By the way, what was the result? Have you found a way out of this place? ”

"Of course." Tang Fang smiled and nodded: "Now that the entire ruins are under my control, it is only a trivial matter to get out of the final star." ”

"Hah, that couldn't be better. Since there is no danger, I will drive the Morningstar over now. Grant couldn't wait to visit the repeater, knowing that the Epsilon ruins were not accessible to ordinary people, not only him, but probably all the crew members of the entire Morningstar had such thoughts.

"Wait." Tang Fang's eyes narrowed, and he said to stop: "When I clear those nasty things, it's not too late to drive the Morning Star over." ”

"Nasty stuff?" Grant was stunned for a moment, and after a while, a plane map flashed next to the holographic projection, which contained an aerial image of the ruins sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. At this moment, on the "rudder pole" where the Tang side landed, the pink cloud air mass almost condensed into substance, submerging most of the area. "You mean them?"

"Not bad." Tang Fang affirmed. The mushroom creatures were densely packed with almost a layer on the surface of the repeater, and he now used the ruins as a logistics base, as the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore. Reasonable, it should be cleaned up.

"Need help?"

"No, there's no need to waste ammo." Tang Fang refused: "I will contact you after the 'sweeping' is over, so let's do this first." ”

Seeing that he had disconnected from the Morningstar, Claire hesitated, "Why don't you let them help, if it's just us ......" RS
