To put it bluntly, the discovery of the self-entanglement phenomenon of zero-crystal crystals will indeed open up an unprecedented vast space.

Think about it: real-time control of robots in the 10,000-meter-deep sea to collect nodule minerals, employees sitting in the office remotely control robots in the asteroid belt for mining and smelting, robots can replace humans to build bases on Mars for research, biological training, and even local materials to build large-scale colony bases......

All this still seems unimaginable science fiction, but without any technological breakthroughs, with only the existing technology on Earth and zero-crystal communication, all of the above will be realized in 10 years at most.

As the first earthling to discover this phenomenon and the first person to develop a practical system, Lao Xia's name is destined to go down in history and become a great scientist like Newton and Einstein, and will always be remembered by mankind.

Of course, there is actually some luck in this award. After all, Lao Xia is one of the few earthlings who can directly contact Zero Crystal, and he is also the only scientist with sufficient ability among these people.

Just like other civilizations, after the earth civilization comes into contact with the magical zero crystal, both the scientific and technological level and the theoretical level will begin to grow explosively, and Lao Xia's "hyperspace communication" technology is the beginning of this great era.

After repeated tests with Lao Xia and Chen Zheng, it was determined that this self-entanglement phenomenon was almost undisturbed by any interference - only when Chen Zheng used a lightsaber would it interfere with the communication between the spirit crystals.

Later experiments proved that as long as it comes from the same zero crystal, multiple zero crystals can still transmit data to each other - but even if Chen Zheng cuts the zero crystal to the size of a grain of rice, they can still perfectly match and communicate with each other.

Soon, a new batch of transmission devices with fine fragments as the core of communication was born - the first to be applied were the drones that went to search the dragon's lair.

After all, the previous aimless search in the direction of the equator required a large number of UAVs to be used as a relay platform for signals, but now there is no limitation of communication distance, coupled with the high cost of zero-crystal communication devices, so in order to ensure that reconnaissance UAVs can retreat even if they are attacked, so a new type of UAV is simply enabled.

To be precise, two Viking drones equipped with a variety of search and surveillance equipment. The glasses man and the others equipped the zero-crystal with a parser, and an external device input the signal into the zero-crystal, and the zero-crystal will relay the signal back to the tarot server in the base.

When the base issues an order, it also transmits the signal to the zero crystal, and then the zero crystal is sent to the front-line drone.

Viking drones themselves have super maneuverability, their own force is not low, encountering a small group of dragons can be directly destroyed by virtue of maneuverability, and when encountering a large number of enemies, it can escape with a cruise speed of more than Mach 3.5.

The original low-cost reconnaissance planes are still in use, but their mission has become patrolling around the base, which has greatly enhanced the defense capability around the base.

Although two reconnaissance-type Viking drones have been modified, in fact, Chen Zheng and they can only send one of them. As for the reason...... It's still the same old problem, there is no on-board computer or smart chip on the plane.

The zero-crystal network generated by the entanglement effect is a typical "broadcast network", that is, the signal sent by any node can be received by all nodes.

If the signal is not processed at all, there will be a situation where one operating system will operate all the drones - this is not a good thing, all drones can only make the same actions like marionettes, so it is inevitable to take care of one or the other when it comes to the need for fine operation.

Of course, after installing an on-board computer or just a simple chip, although the zero crystal will continue to broadcast information between the chips, the computer that receives the information can make its own judgment whether this command is for the machine or not. If it's natural, do it, if it's not, don't.

……

After the invention of the "flashlight", which was "worth 10 Nobel Prizes", it temporarily became one of the highest priorities of the entire base, and was temporarily placed on the same level as the construction of the tide gate.

After a few days of intense work, the Scout Viking finally set off.

Its pilots are not small, due to the allocation of resources, the communication system of the small remote control Viking drone has not yet been built, and now it can only rely on those operators themselves.

But fortunately, this time it's not a battle, although the Viking drone can't exert a little power in the hands of the operator, but if it can't be beaten, it won't run? Its original purpose was to determine the direction of the dragons' lair.

After watching the take-off of the reconnaissance drone, Chen Zheng returned to his previous life of semi-retreat.

For more than ten days in a row, Chen Zheng spent almost the rest of his time in the studio in addition to taking Xiaoxiao out for a walk, making all kinds of parts needed for the tidal door.

Due to the addition of some zero crystals, the previously tight zero crystal budget has become slightly richer. However, during the processing process, Chen Zheng found that many parts with complex details could not be manufactured by simple hand engraving - such as a one-piece spherical pressure vessel...... He can still do it if Chen Zheng cuts out a regular circle, but how can he hollow out the inside of this regular circle without damaging the surface?

Of course, on the earth, such pressure vessels are generally made of two hemispheres, and then the two hemispheres are welded together by special welding methods.

And Chen Zheng now don't say that he can't find such a fine welder, and he doesn't have professional welding tools...... He didn't even have the most basic welding skills, and he couldn't find a place to train him.

What's more, the formula of that kind of pressure vessel is also very complex, and there is basically zero fault tolerance for all kinds of possible defects......

Therefore, when the budget of zero crystal becomes more generous, Chen Zheng's work pressure has also become lower, and after having zero crystal back, those parts that are difficult to process can be given up if they really cannot be made, and they can be directly integrated with zero crystal molding.

The days passed like this, and the construction progress of the tide gate also became faster under Chen Zheng's non-stop work, and when he saw that he was about to start the teleportation experiment in more than a month, the reconnaissance modified Viking brought back a bad news.

More than 3,000 kilometers south of the base, near the equator, a huge crater is densely packed with flying dragons of various colors.

When the Viking drone crossed the crater, it captured an unexpected image of the dragons......
