Chapter 189: It is up to Arlene to solve the problem

Jeffs is actually a little worried, he is also afraid that these children will appear in such and such a situation in the nebula, although the construction of the layout is not particularly difficult, but there are too many changes that may occur, this is the depth of the nebula!

But Jeffs' children were careful, they had already returned home, and there should be no major problems. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Little ones, turn the bow and get ready to sail back!" Jeffs sighed, waved his big hand and said, it feels good to give orders, he is now the captain of this cargo ship, and when the Shadow Hands Society has more and more cargo ships, he can also be a fleet commander.

When the time comes, with a large number of men, a shipload of goods, shuttling between Pegasi and Ifrit, and even further into the galaxy to do business, how happy it will be, Jeffs thought, and his saliva almost flowed out.

"Chief Jeffs... Why is the ship contact signal of the Little Ranger Wing missing?! Jeffs was thinking that one of his children's words would have scared his soul away!

Like a spring, he bounced up from his seat, took three steps and made two steps, rushed to the side of the child who spoke, stared carefully at the ship contact list, and found that the contact signal of the five ships of the Little Ranger Wing had indeed disappeared, he couldn't even take care of his breath, and quickly shouted: "Turn back, turn back!" ”

The city-class cargo ship braked suddenly, turned its bow and rushed in the direction of the Little Ranger Wing, why did their signal suddenly disappear? Did they go wrong and fly into the nebula?

It's over, Jeffs is so anxious that he is about to pee, such an easy job, there is such a fork, how can this be explained to Zorro and Fuwei!!

The Emotional Base facility also found an anomaly that the Little Ranger United had lost contact, and Arlene's connection came, and she was also scared, and the question she asked was exactly the same as the child next to Jeffs: "Why is the ship contact signal of the Little Ranger United gone?" ”

"I don't know," Jeffs said to Arlene, "I'm going to look for them!" ”

"Well, be careful yourself, don't cross the line!" Arlene asked, she looked back, and someone seemed to be calling out to her, and when she turned around, she said to Jeffs again, "Don't disconnect, I seem to have found something here." ”

Arlene left, Zorro sat down, and Jeffs didn't even dare to look Zorro in the eyes, his eyes dodging left and right.

"Uh... Assist... Zorro..."

"Dead fatty, get my people back quickly!" Zorro yelled.

Jeffs was about to have a heart attack, it was over, his back was already drenched with sweat, and when he first came to the Ifrit Nebula with Foway, the feeling of helplessness lost in the depths of the nebula hit again, and at this moment, the children who had lost their signal and lost in the nebula must have been frightened away.

"Slow down, kids... Don't be too fast, lean slowly to the edge..."Jeffs kept instructing the children in the cab, these children were also nervous, of course they knew what the fate of the Lost Nebula was, and when they came out, Zorro had warned them over and over again.

Just when Jeffs was so anxious that he was about to cry, the ship signal of the Little Ranger Wing suddenly appeared again, and their squad leader immediately connected to Jeffs's big girl and reported: "Captain Jeffs, there seems to be a problem with one of the detection towers of the first chain, it's really hanging!" Fortunately, we turned the bow of the ship in time and flew in this direction, and we really flew back! ”

Jeffs slumped on the dusty rubber floor of the cab, sweating profusely.

Arlene also connected to Jeffs and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Jeffs, that test tower forgot to install a nuclear battery, it only installed a lithium battery for testing, and its battery is dead..."

"I'm sorry Jeffs, this is a serious mistake by our Nebula Technology research team, Zorro shouldn't blame you... I'm to blame..."

"Jeffs, I apologized to you for being a little cruel to you just now!" Zorro also came over and said embarrassedly.

Despite Arlene and Zorro's apologies, Jeffs was still slumped on the ground, feeling as if he had been starved for five days, exhausted, and completely out of strength.

"Chief Jeffs, shall we wait for them for a while?" A child turned his head and said.

Jeffs simply lay down on the ground and replied in a weak voice, "Return..."

……

……

After this false alarm "accident", Jeffs picked on his son. He returned the Ranger Wing to Zorro and said he wouldn't do the job anymore because it was too dangerous.

Not only did Jeffs not dare to borrow Zorro's people, but he didn't even dare to go himself, although Arlene apologized in every possible way, but it was useless, and Jeffs said that he would not go.

"If you don't go, I'll go." Zorro pulled Jeffs' head and said to him, "Lend me your chick!" ”

"No, I'm just a medium-sized cargo ship, if you lose it for me..."

"Smack!" Zorro slapped Jeffs on the back of the head again and yelled, "Your ship is lost, won't I lose it too?!" ”

Zorro and Jeffs argued over the dangers of setting up a ship in the nebula.

There is a real danger ... This time, fortunately, the Ranger Wing turned the bow direction in advance, otherwise they would have lost their contact signal and reference point, and if they didn't know which direction to sail, they would probably get lost in the vast nebula, and once they lost the nebula, they would never come back.

At the beginning, the spider-class tugboat of the Fuwei Prison Escape Five, plunged headlong into the nebula, it was simply death, they were in the vast nebula, and the chance of entering the detection range of the Aurelia Pirate Group's information station chain was almost zero, but that time it may have been God blessed these five people, and they actually ran into the information station chain after more than ten hours.

But how many times can such a very unlikely event occur?

Therefore, the work of setting up the construction seems to be easy, but if there is a slight mistake, it will also be the end of disappearance until death!

Arlene pinched her chin, not sure what she was thinking.

Her brow furrowed at times, then furrowed, as if trying to solve the problem.

The thinking speed of people with high intelligence is very fast, Arlene stood in place and meditated for a few seconds, and hundreds of plans had been filtered in her mind, and there were many feasible ones, such as sending additional starships and using starships as an active information station chain; For example, shorten the spacing between the distribution points, so that there is enough overlap area between the information relay detection stations...

But these methods require a premise, that is, there is enough money. If Fuwei had so much money, they wouldn't have to be so troublesome, how comfortable would it be to outsource this project?

So none of these methods work.

After overturning all her assumptions, Arlene suddenly discovered that there was a whimsical and bold idea in a corner of the ocean of thought.

Not only does this method cost nothing, but it also frees up manpower!

Arlene, who suddenly thought of the perfect solution, snapped her fingers and shouted: "Don't argue, I have a way!" ”

"What can you do?" Zorro and Jeffs turned their heads at the same time to look at Arlene.

"We can add a set of micro propulsion array components that can be operated from a distance to the information relay detection station!" Arlene replied excitedly: "In this way, after the assembly is completed in the base, the base facilities can be moved out, and then the facilities in the base and the existing information chain that has completed the distribution construction can be used to achieve ultra-long-distance control!" ”

Zorro and Jeffs looked at each other and said in unison, "Sounds good!" ”

Installing a simple miniature propulsion array for the information relay detection tower, this is the wonderful solution that Arlene came up with, this propulsion array does not need to be as sensitive as the miniature propulsion array of the starship, and the function does not need to be comprehensive, it only needs to have four directions of propulsion, front and back, left and right, plus the tower body steering two functions, navigation fine-tuning and other functions, can be completely removed.

Even if such a miniature propulsion array is added to each detection tower, the cost will not increase much, Arlene immediately told Fuwei his idea, and Fuwei immediately agreed: "Arlene, this is really a brilliant idea!" ”

"Installing a micro propulsion array for each information relay detection tower, completing the assembly in the base, and remotely controlling it inside the base not only saves manpower, reduces the risk, but also greatly reduces the transportation cost, the cost seems to have increased, but in fact it has decreased!"

"Besides, with the progress of the 'dispelling the fog' project, the area covered by the ring chain is getting larger and larger, and we can't always occupy too many ships to deploy because of this incident, uh... You once said, how old is the Ifrit Nebula? ”

These data were deeply engraved in Arlene's mind, and she quickly replied, "Forty astronomical units, about six billion kilometers in diameter." ”

Countless zeros appeared in Fuwei's mind in an instant, but he knew that the information relay station was dotted every 10,000 meters, so he divided it by a little, dividing it by six billion by 10,000, that is... Six hundred thousand.

600,000!

After getting this number, Fu Wei's jaw couldn't close: "Arlene... If you want to cover the entire Ifrit Cloud, you need... 600,000 chains?? ”

"600,000 rings are not three-dimensional, and there are more than 10,000 'rings'! The total number of rings is six billion. Arlene said calmly: "The 'width' of the Ifrit Nebula is forty astronomical units, six billion kilometers, and the 'height' is also about 100 million kilometers.

What we're working on now is just one of the rings, and if we really want to dispel the fog of the entire Ifrit Nebula, we need to set up six billion rings of information. The 10,000 outermost links require 640 million information relay stations..."
