At the border of Tifon Cecil, in the "Contract Castle" of the joint research facility, a large laboratory is brightly lit. Technical personnel from Tifon, Cecil and the Silver Empire are busy in their respective locations. Some wizards are observing the crystal reactions on the central laboratory bench, some apprentices are responsible for recording data, and scholars are conducting complex calculations and heated discussions nearby. At the very center of all this is the "energy crystal" from the Viplanton Observatory.

Over the platform in the center of the laboratory, only the size of a palm-sized crystal floats in the air under the action of the anti-gravity field. Many rings of runes are running back and forth around the crystal in the air. On the surface of the experimental platform, you can also see the neatly engraved rune array and the precision crystal embedded at the array nodes. These things jointly monitor the process of the "energy crystal" releasing energy and self-recharge every minute and every second, and are also the first insurance barrier in the laboratory.

Carmire floated next to the platform and raised his palm towards the crystal. The fine arcane lightning split out from the front of his arm, accurately stimulating the corresponding mitral synapses on the control nodes near the platform. The rune array around the crystal was reordered under his control. A layer of light curtain slowly swept across the crystal, causing layers of ripples on the surface of the crystal.

"This is an incredible miracle... Although it has been running for countless years, the energy balance inside this crystal is still so stable. And after we reconstructed the magic circuits connected to it, it has begun to output energy into these circuits..." A low voice with a slight resonance came from Carmayer's body. He did not hide his respect and praise for another advanced civilization. "Compared with it, our technology is as shallow as torches and stones in the hands of primitive people..."

Windsor Mapel was observing the data observed by the crystal resonator. After hearing Carmier's feelings, the legendary wizard of Tifeng raised his head: "This crystal gives me the feeling that it is 'living'. We have no idea what the Settler's technology is. It just reconstructs a magic circuit based on the small part of the energy released by this crystal and the remaining rune array at the Viplanton Observatory. At the beginning, the crystal had almost no response to the new magic circuit, but in just a few hours, it made some...internal adjustments and actively adapted to the crude 'interface' we prepared for it."

"It will learn, actively identify the magic interface connected to it, and change its internal structure to match the external connection. It is indeed a dead object, but as you said, it gives people the feeling that it is 'live'," Carmier finished adjusting the rune array and said while retracting his hand. "Perhaps it was because of this 'characteristic' that Sir Scott was trapped in the Viplanton Observatory at that time, and they could use this crystal to build a protective barrier under limited conditions."

Windsor Mapel frowned: "Do you think we can…model this crystal? Or just restore some technology inside?"

"...I'm afraid it won't work, at least for the time being. Although it's frustrating to say this, we haven't reached this level yet," Carmier shook his head regretfully. "The technology used in this crystal is completely incomprehensible to us. Over the past few days, the biggest achievement of the research team is nothing more than recording a lot of parameters that we think can almost be described incredible, and observing a lot of incredible phenomena. We still know nothing about these parameters and the principles behind them."

Speaking of this, he paused and his tone changed: "But even so, observing the running process of this crystal is enough to bring us a lot of useful inspiration. Although we cannot create something similar to it, at least we have now seen how an advanced civilization's creation runs, especially this mechanism of automatic adaptation and learning matching may provide some ideas for our next generation energy system."

Listening to Carmier's thoughts, Windsor Mapel nodded slightly, but then she showed a look of regret: "It's a pity that our research on this crystal is about to end early."

She thought of the order that had just been sent from the imperial capital Aldnan this morning because the "Starter Energy Crystal" might be used to repair the Antawien superluminal communication array. The research project in the Contractor has been suspended and the crystal will be handed over to the Deep Sea Kingdom for use.

"I'm sorry, but it will benefit the entire alliance. If we can solve the communication problem with the aliens, perhaps the fate of the whole world will be rewritten," Carmier's arcane brilliance steadily and his voice is low. "And in some ways, the crystal is also a waste of current technology. In addition to collecting some data, we have very limited things to do with this crystal, and it may play a greater role in Anta Vien."

"I know this too," Windsor nodded slightly, "Let the resources be used at the highest efficiency to ensure greater interests of all members of the alliance. This is also one of the original intentions of the alliance. But Master Carmier... do you think this crystal can really solve the problems encountered by that 'super-light communication array'?"

"I can only say that it's a try and the Siren is not sure," Carmier shook his head, "and they only knew after they actually confirmed it."

Windsor Mapel breathed a lightly, and his eyes fell back on the crystal on the lab table: "General Andersa Wendell will come to take away this crystal in person this afternoon, and the crystal will be transported to the East Coast and handed over there with the envoy from the Deep Sea Kingdom. Before that, let's do the last round of tests."

...

"The 'energy crystal' matters have been handed over," Amber and Gao Wen reported to the desk that had just been reported from the Contracting Fort and Tifeng. "The 'Wolf General' Andersha will personally escort the crystal to the east coast, and the Deep Sea Kingdom will also send a high-speed cargo ship to the east coast to respond, which can ensure that the crystal is sent to Anta Vien in the shortest time."

"Well, then the next thing is to rely on the efforts of those Siren technicians. I hope that the energy crystal from the Settler can really come in handy," Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows gently, "But then again... I thought Siren would use that very convenient 'elemental transition' technology to transport crystals. After all, the interference barrier around the Loren continent has been lifted."

"It is said that because the elemental transition channel is not stable and the conditions for passing are very harsh, it is usually only allowed to make objects made by Siren and Siren. It is possible to pass through it with water element affinity characteristics. If it is used to transport the energy crystal of the set sailor, it is very likely that the channel will collapse in the middle," Amber's ears shook, "Actually, I suspect that those Siren are quite interested in fancy deaths. They are afraid of being damaged..."

Gao Wen couldn't help but look at Amber for a few more times, thinking that she could sum up the last one, which means she is already a good friend of the Siren...

"Sending crystal to Anta Vien is only the first step. There is still a lot of things to do if it can be used, how to use it, and the specific transformation and construction of the main antenna," putting an unrelated idea aside, Gao Wen continued, "Before this transformation project is over, our communication with the 'Neiren' still has to rely on the current form of 'talking for a few days'."

"Ten days of breathing are not necessarily enough," Amber waved his hand, "You have to count the situation where the communication system cannot be used when Shanghai demon transforms and upgrades the main antenna."

Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows again, and felt extremely depressed in his heart. Finally, he had a way to touch the starry sky and the truth of the magic wave. However, due to the insufficient hardware of the equipment, he could only communicate with alien stars with extremely low efficiency. The long wait and the annoying hardware damage were simply crazy, but he still had to keep his patience, after all...

Now there is only one useful superluminal communication system on the entire planet. What can I do without waiting?

Just as Gao Wen's irritation arose, a slight sound of scales rubbing against the floor suddenly came from the corridor. Immediately afterwards, the dark oak door in the study was slowly pushed open, and Tyr's head came in through the crack of the door: "Are you all here?"

Gao Wen quickly sorted out his expression on his face, returned to his upright posture, and looked behind the desk as he was slowly moving his body and the tail four or five meters long into the room: "Is there anything we are discussing about the superluminal communication array?"

"Oh, I'm here to tell you this too," Tyre immediately smiled, "Tell me, I heard from Anta Vien just now that the super-light communication array can be used!"

When Gao Wen heard this, he subconsciously looked at Amber, and then a smile appeared on his face.

What Tyre said about "super-light speed communication arrays can be used" does not mean that the upgrade and transformation of the main antenna has been completed. After all, the energy crystal has not been sent to the Loren Continent. What she said is that the main antenna of the communication array has been repaired for ten days. Although it will definitely burn after repairing this time, it will definitely be burned. But at least, the Loren Alliance can finally respond to the Noy people on the other side of the Star Sea!

...

Thorin Giant Tree, Xinghai Project Headquarters Hall.

The "ready information" from the Deep Sea Kingdom made the place busy in an instant. Within half an hour after receiving the instructions from the imperial capital, a large number of monitors, technicians and star solvers entered their respective jobs. The computing center connected to the headquarters and the main brain array entered a standby state almost instantly. Since the first communication with the Neuer ten days ago, the people here have been waiting for this moment to arrive. All the preparations have been completed, just waiting for the moment when the instructions are issued.

In the center of the headquarters hall, Belltila's incarnation came to the commander-in-chief again. In her perception, the huge and complex energy network deep in the hall was being directed. The monitoring antenna pointing to the Frost Sky was operating at full power. The data link with the distant Antawien super-light communication array had been connected a few minutes ago. One by one, the signals sent by the monitoring terminals were summed up to the nerve center of the Thorin Giant Tree through the main brain, and a star-like "projection" was reflected in the depths of her thinking.

This is a miracle created by countless ordinary people and extraordinary people. It is a whole that transcends races and national boundaries. In her perception, this system centered on the Thorin tree and specially used to establish communication with alien civilizations is like a brain. A will represent the will of Loren civilization to speak out to the outside world. This will now raise its head and is turning its attention to the distant stars.

Bell Tira calmed down and looked back at the holographic projection behind him. This time, Tifeng and the two leaders of the Silver Empire did not directly connect with the command center, but His Majesty Gao Wen was still paying attention to the progress here personally. His figure appeared in the hall, and was looking at the hall with a calm gaze.

"Your Majesty," she said, "we are ready here and can give the first 'response' at any time."

"Let's start," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "After so many days of silence, it's time to make some sound to make our 'alien friends' feel at ease."

"Yes," Belltila bowed slightly, turned to face somewhere in the hall, "send a response message."

After the communication was interrupted for ten days, "opposite" kept sending a lot of inquiries, greetings and piles of technical information, how should we send "the first response after many days of disconnection"? This is obviously also a knowledge. Just like the "first greeting" sent by Loren to Neuer, this response must also play a specific role.

It has to eliminate the embarrassment and quickly eliminate the "sense of strangeness" caused by the Internet outage for many days. In this process, it has to show a calm attitude that cannot be seen by aliens that the antenna is burning, so it cannot be contacted.

With this idea in mind, Chief Monitor Bard Wendell took a light breath and slowly blew a question mark on the "dialogue terminal" controlled by himself: "?"

Elegant and calm, he showed a slightly confused but not panic attitude and appropriate questions after being suddenly stuffed over hundreds of blueprints.

Then Bard glanced at the record board in front of him and entered the second message on the terminal: "On."

The Star Explorers completed the translation almost instantly and sent the translated data to the distant Antavern. The super-light speed communication array instantly sent the response information from the Loren civilization to the Neuyi planet several light years away. After that, there was a waiting process that was neither long nor short.

Belltiel stared at the holographic projection in front of her. After the light curtain trembled slightly in front of her for a long time, she finally felt that the main antenna had captured a tremor.

The Neuyi sent a response, which was a series of alien characters. The interpreters translated them as quickly as possible and sent the translated text to the hall.

"I'm glad to 'heard' your voice again, Loren civilization, we almost thought that this channel would never be connected again."

Negotiators, communication specialists and the Star Explorers quickly became busy and edited the new text in the preset direction in the plan. The conversation began in the holographic projection in front of Belltira.

Solving the Star: "Sorry, our communication system has been undergoing renovation and upgrading in recent times, and there will be such interruptions that last for several days from time to time. However, this is a necessary transformation to be able to conduct regular communication with you in the future. If the relevant project is completed, the communication between us and you will be much easier than it is now."
