Chapter 135: Communication Problems
"As long as we can capture the ultra-long-range particle signal, we don't have to go to some hell base station, we can also connect with the outside world, I don't believe that in such a large area, there is no working base? Lilac: Can't you look at that damn pathway map anymore? Arthur turned his head viciously to make things difficult for the fairy man.
"It's not a matter of believing it or not, Arthur, it's really not, I've memorized dozens of distribution maps of the old and new versions, and the only ones that meet the area we can reach are the old pedestals set up by this human ultra-long-distance access company called 'Daystar', and the others are too far away, and they are all single-channel launch mode." Fairy humane.
"What single-path, multi-path?" Arthur didn't understand.
"Don't you know that?" Lilac was surprised.
"To put it simply, the direction of the launch, in the cosmic region of the galaxy, the large communication base is to emit ultra-long-range particles in all directions, so that signals can be received from all angles around the base. However, as the distance gradually increases, although the ultra-long-range particles are emitted in a nearly lossless straight line, they remain uncatchable at the edge of the galaxy due to gravitational fields and stellar interference. Because there is no access calculation computer that can mark the flow of a particle that is countless times smaller than a nanometer outside tens of light hours, and mark it in detail on the star map, there are too many uncertain factors. For remote pedestals, they are generally designed to emit a stream of particles in one direction. It had to explain to the Barecas.
"Why? Does it cost money to add multiple pathways? Arthur asked.
"It doesn't cost ......" Lilac was almost amused by the wolf-headed man.
"But it takes energy, very large energy, to emit ultra-long-range particles...... The base in remote areas has limited access to stellar energy, so it can only supply a relatively sparse stream of particles to emit, so under this kind of base particle stream, it is generally not possible to transmit images and large data files, but only text and voice communication. It explained.
"And even if that's the case, there is still a gap in the energy to send the particle stream, and it requires the channel construction company to configure the corresponding fission energy auxiliary generator on the base, but it also means that these base stations have to change fuel every once in a while......"
“…… Wait a minute...... Lilac, you mean ......" Arthur seemed to hear some signs.
"That's exactly what Eddie wants to explain to you...... The communication base that is not used for many years may stop working due to lack of energy, and you also need to know that the emission of ultra-long-distance particles also needs raw materials, otherwise where does the particle flow come from? ”
"Need raw materials for particle emission? Then our correspondence ...... too."
"Yes, it's the same on all spaceships, ultra-long-distance communication particles need to consume ethyl titanium, but the consumption is very small, and it is not easy to detect."
"And if it's the lack of energy in that damn place or the fact that I'm running out of titanium, there's a way we can get the base back in?" Arthur pointed to a small dot not far ahead of the ship.
"The Sailing has the best uranium enrichment rods and fission generators in its storage bay, so we can replace them all, no matter how old the equipment on that pedestal is, and as for acetitanium......" Lilac picked up the metal cup on the table where it drank the essence liquid.
"This cup made of acetitanium alloy should be able to keep the ultra-long-range particles emitted by a single path for twenty years."
"I don't care if he can launch for twenty years, I just need it to launch for a few seconds, and we're not maintenance workers for these lazy human communications companies!" After listening to Lilac's words, Arthur, who felt a glimmer of hope, became a little happy.
"I'm sorry I didn't explain it to you beforehand, Arthur." Add smiled at the wolfhead.
"Who knew you didn't even know the basics of common sense? The reason for making such a plan is that you are sure that the pedestal will be repaired, and you don't know anything! Lilac disagrees with Add's apology to Arthur.
"It's okay, it's not too late to find out now." Barekas grinned.
"It's not too late, God knows, man, you almost scolded everyone for being bloody, you see I had to pretend to be asleep to avoid being scolded." Facing his neck, he suddenly attacked the wolf-headed man, and Arthur realized that since the conversation just now, the snoring of the fishskin man had stopped, and he had been listening to the conversation.
"Do you know again? Particle streams, fissioners or something, I bet you just figured it out, what to pretend! Arthur was a little embarrassed by what he said.
"Okay, the crisis still exists, now we can only let our old wrench do his job without disturbance, if even the ion drive engine is damaged, we are really finished, Arthur, do you agree?" Add dragged Arthur's screen back in front of him, the spacecraft computer connected to the ship's state controller, and he carefully examined the data on the ship's movements, keeping an eye on the stability of the course.
"I will raise my hands in agreement with all the details related to safety, young master, your words are deeply rooted in my heart, I promise not to bother the monkey again, and let him finish that long book." Arthur announced.
"Idiot." There was a sound of the dead coming from outside the cabin, and the Shadowless Man deliberately took a loud step, sounding like he was returning to his living quarters, but Arthur pretended not to hear it.
"Wait......" The wolf-headed man, who thought he had escaped death, thought about it carefully, and suddenly looked at Eddie again.
"Just misled by your description...... You're saying that if the base is there, it can be repaired if it runs out of power or particle ammunition, so what if the base is not there, or if it is completely broken? It's still unknown! He regained his worries.
"Then I said young master......" he looked at Eddie with a puzzled expression. You should be able to build an ultra-long-range launch base out of thin air, right? Arthur asked him.
And poor Eddie could only remain silent at this time.
