Chapter five hundred and eighty nine distant communication
The roar of construction machinery echoed on the construction site, and the construction workers were busy between a large number of machinery, building materials and scaffolding. Under the power of the machinery, a large area of open land had been leveled and the foundation was reinforced by elemental spells. A roughly octagonal base frame is gradually forming. Within the frame, the elf magician Banner, who serves as technical guidance, is signaling the workers how to connect the prefabricated rune substrates to the skeleton made of alloy.
Cecil's rune substrate technology was a surprise for this magician. Using the precision and power of the machine, the repetitive parts of the complex rune array can be mass-produced and prepared in a short period of time. In addition, the connecting frame called "rune frame", the Cecils built magic arrays at an astonishing speed. The most time-consuming and energy-consuming process among various magic facilities is the most time-saving and labor-saving part in the construction process of the Cecils.
The most important thing is that the "rune substrate" itself is a highly versatile technology, and the runes of the elves can still be used.
It was a lucky thing to be selected into the "Cecil Group". It seemed that the projects here would be completed earlier than all places.
Next to the construction site where the sub-tower was built, Sonia and Gao Wen stood side by side on a platform above the ground.
The elf messenger seemed quite worried: "You say that those believers who died in the end are using the loopholes in the magnificent wall to send signals to the wasteland?"
"This is just our guess," Gao Wen nodded, "We have information that all things will eventually die and master a communication technology called the "dark bridge". This communication technology is very likely to be built on the loopholes of the grand wall. They have been stealing your channels to establish connections with somewhere. As a dark sect whose scope is limited to the northern part of the mainland, their signals are unlikely to be sent to the south, and they are most likely to be sent to the wasteland."
"...If this matter is true, even the gentle Majesty Belsetia would be furious," Sonia frowned, with disbelief in her tone, "But those cultists signaled to the wasteland...Who are they contacting? Are there actually living people on the wasteland of Gondor?!"
While speaking, she couldn't help but look at the Sentinel Tower, which was far away from the peak base, and looked at the purple-black land on the south side of the Sentinel Tower, with incredible vision.
In the wasteland that has completely corrupted and distorted, with only desolate ruins and barren land, is there really something responding to the fallen druids? What are they planning on this wasteland?
For a moment, even she felt a little impulse, trying to cross the magnificent wall and go to that place of death to find out the truth.
But she stopped this irrational idea and said in a serious tone: "Whether they are sending signals to the wasteland or not, their 'dark bridge' must have been abandoned with the shutdown of the communication function of the magnificent wall. The most urgent task now is that we must restore communication contacts with the southern part of the mainland."
"About this, our Magic Network communication terminal has been sent, and the Magic technicians are debugging it based on the messaging keys you provide," said Gao Wen. "If Carmier's transformation and design work, we can successfully send a message to the Silver Empire before sunset today."
Sonia looked at Gao Wen in shock: "So fast?!"
Gao Wen smiled slightly: "We have the best magicians, and the technology Cecil uses has always been ahead of traditional magical devices in terms of flexibility and exploitability."
He didn't even have the nerve to say that this communication device had actually started to study before he set out. At that time, Sonia hadn't realized the big problem encountered by the Sentinel Tower, so he was just thinking about a magnificent wall...
Fortunately, Sonia did not care about these details. In the mind of this high-level messenger, it is obviously more important to be able to contact her home country as soon as possible.
As Gao Wen said, this temporary emergency communication system was finally debugged before the Giant Sun fell to the horizon.
This Magic Network communication device is set up in the command center in the center of the Peak Base. In order to accommodate it, technicians have made a special room for it.
When Sonia and Gao Wen came here, the magic technicians had completed all the installation and commissioning work. In the center of the huge room was the new communicator from Cecil City. It was a medium-sized device with a triangular base about half a meter high. The huge projection crystal was placed above the base. The mysterious magic runes were regularly shining on the metal parts around the crystal. Around this device, in the four corners of the room, four black rectangular columns that were one person tall and half a meter long and wide were quietly placed on the ground.
The four pillars were specially designed by Carmier. Their function is to "translate" the signal of the Magic Net communication device into a signal that can be transmitted by the Magnificent Wall. The device was completed several days ago, but it was not until the elves took out the communication key of the Magnificent Wall that they could really come in handy.
"No matter how many times you look at it, your magical skills are so impressive," Sonia came to the magical device in the center of the room, looking curiously at the runes flashing around the crystal. "Can it really replace the transmission matrix of the Sentinel Tower and send the signal to the south?"
"It is feasible in theory," Gao Wen nodded slightly. "In addition, the devices in this room are not all for connecting signals to the energy flow of the Magnificent Wall. We also set up a high-power magical obelisk next to the base of the Sentinel Tower. Now that the obelisk has been powered, we can start at any time."
...
In the distant south of the continent, over the vast and boundless silver forest, the Temple of Stars is cruising at a low speed along the scheduled cruise trajectory.
The texture of silver-white and light gold metal shines everywhere, and looks like a floating temple. The sanctuary of flying under the base is slowly crossing the northern border of the Silver Empire, moving along a subtle arc. Its upper palace faces the direction of the magnificent wall. The sixteen antenna arrays set on the top of the temple are slightly swinging in the air, monitoring every faint signal from the direction of the wasteland.
Inside the temple, in a silver-white metal hall, several alloy columns with mysterious runes floating in neatly arranged, and more than a dozen monitoring seats were distributed around these columns. The "wind listeners" in uniform costumes were sitting on these seats, staring at the holographic images in front of them with all their attention.
The "Wind Listener" is the upper level of the "Wind Speech". The latter's task is to handle regular communication requests from the Magnificent Wall, while the former's task is to monitor all channels of the Magnificent Wall and to handle abnormal signals uploaded by the Magnificent Wall. Now the communication system of the Magnificent Wall is malfunctioning due to overload. The Fengspeakers have had nothing to do for a long time, but the Wind Speechers are still sticking to their posts.
Although they also cannot receive any communication signals, they must keep a close eye on this place. Once the self-healing of the Sentinel Tower is over and the communication is restored, they must report to the Queen as soon as possible.
Then hello the wind whisperers back to work (without error).
Today's monitoring channel is still calm, and there is only meaningless white noise among all the signals sent back from the antenna.
A male elf with short golden hair sighed slightly: "It seems that the Sentinel Tower will not recover in a short period of time... I don't know how the several messenger teams heading to the north are going to be."
A long-haired male elf next to him turned his head: "The latest news from the human world has begun to prepare for repairing the barrier, and by this time they should have already begun."
"I hope they can run the most basic sub-tower facilities as soon as possible, so that the self-repairing speed of Sentinel Tower may be faster," said the short-haired elf. "The communication in the north is cut off, and such a day is really hard to bear."
"I heard that your daughter is in the north?" A female elf next to him couldn't help but come to ask when she heard the conversation.
Now that the handover time is approaching, even the elves will feel a little relaxed.
"Yes, I fell in love with humans and won't come back," said the short-haired elf who spoke first, helplessly, "I can't persuade her, let her go."
"How do I remember this happened two hundred years ago?" The female elf had curiosity on her face, "Didn't she come back after the human being died?"
The short-haired elf sighed: "Oh... it's her third human husband now... it may be the fourth one? I'm not in the mood to care."
"Look out, friend," an elf in the monitoring seat a little further joined the chat about the pre-successful succession. "At least, better than the Shuangye family. It is said that Sonia's high-level messenger applied to Ansu for this..."
The elves at the scene looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
Someone is sighing: "Even if you become a high-level ranger, you can't escape the power of your mother..."
It may be difficult for aliens in the northern part of the continent to imagine that mysterious and elegant elves will also talk about these homely events like humans.
But the time when the "wind listeners" chatted was suddenly interrupted by a sudden sound of wind chimes.
The sound came from a monitor seat. At first, the listener in the seat thought it was a system false alarm. Similar false alarms had occurred three times in the past month, but soon, ringtones came from more monitor seats, and the holographic projection also showed signs of detecting unknown communications!
The listeners who were ready to hand over were briefly stunned, and then all the elves forgot about the end of work and quickly returned to their jobs.
"Signal tracking..."
"Confirmed from the Magnificent Wall, the last time the Sentinel Tower is forwarded! It is an internal signal but does not carry the Secret text of the Sentinel Tower, it is an unknown signal!"
"The source is being tracked...the starting point is Sentinel Tower No. 6! North of the mainland!!"
"The signal strength is too weak Lorraine. Turn on the gain antenna and all gain antennas point to Sentinel Tower No. 37! Hurry up, we have received a signal from the north!"
All over the Temple of Stars, between the steep towers and the roof of the palace, silver-white armor that was integrated with the building quietly slid to the side. Antenna devices with elegant arcs rose from the hidden place. They rotated sensitively in the air and quickly pointed to the direction of Gondor's wasteland.
A few minutes later, a high-ranking elf wearing a light golden robe and a crown of floral leaves hurriedly towards the core of the Temple of Stars, the bedroom of Queen Belsetia.
Belsetia was preparing to rest under the attendant's clothing, but she had already vaguely sensed that the antenna array of the Temple of Stars was operating abnormally. When she was about to ask about the situation, the confidant minister came to her and immediately stood up: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the sudden recovery signal of the communication link of the Magnificent Wall is from the north, and the high-ranking messenger Sonia and the human duke Gowan Cecil hope to talk to you."
"Sonia and Duke Cecil..." Belsetia's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, but she quickly asked, "Didn't the communication function of the Sentinel Tower say that it will not be able to repair itself until at least next spring?"
"The signal was not sent by the Sentinel Tower, it was some kind of communication technology of human beings," the auxiliary admin lowered his head. "Sonia's advanced messenger said that an emergency occurred, and she had to agree that human beings had established an emergency channel."
"...I understand," Suzhi Sonia's code of conduct. Belsetia was not entangled in this issue at all. She waved her hand and ordered the servant to retreat and step forward, "lead the way and transfer the communication to the main control room."
"yes."
