Vol 22 Chapter 532: Communication

The God of War did not respond to my excitement, and calmly replied: "Yamamoto 55 has now appeared in a small city in Russia. According to his report, the other party arranged immediately after arriving at the port. All of them boarded the ship and left the port, but none of these players used the method of suicide to return to a nearby island city. Because it was resurrected, Yamamoto 55 cannot determine the specific location of the city. I just know that this city is called the Cape of Aken and belongs to a Russian guild. They made a transit in the city and then came to the Russian mainland. As for those, they should have got the specific route coordinates, and they might return from the sea. "
"That means we can't possibly find them, right?"
"At least no information was available from Yamamoto 55."
"I'm afraid so."
I reluctantly shouted to the army: "Okay, I understand. Now that the information of the fleeing fleet is ignored, it is estimated that even if it is tracked, there is no possibility of catching up. But you first record our current position, this In the future, the place could exist as a halfway supply base for our guild. "
"Need to build a permanent base or is it temporary?"
The permanent and temporary question asked by the military is whether I want to confirm the city recognized by the system. The former is difficult to set up, has a large investment, long construction time, and high maintenance costs in the later period, but it has a greater effect and complete functions. In particular, it can build large teleportation arrays and special buildings. This advantage is not possible for temporary cities like wild bases. Comparable. of course. On the other hand, temporary bases also have their own benefits. At the very least, the construction cost is much lower and no maintenance is needed. Even if they are pushed away by the enemy or monsters, the reconstruction will not lose much. Anyway, it is flexible and maneuverable, and the investment is not large. Not very useful, it depends on how you want to use it.
The location of this island is really good and the natural environment is good. So I asked the of war to record the construction of a permanent base here. Scale is the entire island and the subsea base below. As for whether to build two connected cities or one city, I did not say this, let the of war and the post-construction workers discuss.
After making arrangements here, I asked again, "Well, how did you get in touch with me? I remember that this is not the coverage area of ​​our guild."
"It really isn't. But a fleet of our guild is approaching you. You have now entered the signal carrier coverage of this fleet."
The so-called communication ship is a special ship equipped with a large communication crystal. Just like radio transmission in reality. The communicator used in our guild also has a limited range. The crystal communicator used by our guild relies on the resonance relationship between Atlantis crystals for communication, and this resonance response range is completely dependent on the volume of the Atlantis crystals. The simple point is that the volume determines the transmission distance. If there is an Atlantis crystal the size of the Himalayas, our signal can cover the entire solar system. However, if there is only a crystal the size of a skyscraper, the communication distance can only guarantee to cover the entire earth. Note that there is a feature different from the radio, that is, the resonance relationship of the Atlantis crystal is little affected by the terrain, that is, as long as the Atlantis crystal is large enough, it can communicate with each other across the earth. Satellites need to be set up in space for transit, just like radios.
However, the Atlantis crystal as large as a skyscraper is obviously impossible to exist, so the largest piece of Atlantis crystal that we can use is only equivalent to a four-story one-unit residential building. Big. The communication coverage distance of this volume of Atlantis crystal is already very large. As long as the location is appropriate, such a crystal can cover the communication needs of China. Moreover, the Atlantis crystal has the advantage that as long as there is a large crystal, no matter how small the crystal can communicate with each other within its coverage, that is to say, the communication distance of the Atlantis crystal depends on The signal range of the largest source that can cover the location, rather than the coverage of the Atlantis crystal itself. In other words, as long as you put the largest Atlantis crystal in China, you can use any size communicator to communicate in China, even if two people are on the east and west sides of China and both use It is the smallest Atlantis crystal, and the communication between them can be unimpeded.
In addition, the Atlantis crystal also has an outstanding feature that the signal transfer is not affected by the volume. Even if it is an Atlantis crystal the size of a fingernail, it can also be used as an intermediate transmission medium between two countries for signal transfer without the phenomenon of information congestion. This feature determines that the cost of the transfer station is very low, almost as small as to be ignored.
However, the small Atlantis crystal relay signal is no problem. The signal range can be determined by the volume. The overlap of the signal ranges of two large crystals does not allow the two to communicate directly. At least one of the signal coverage of the two must be guaranteed. The coverage area can include the body of the other party, or at least one Atlantis crystal exists in both of them as a transit signal station.
This characteristic of the Atlantis crystal determines that our guild's communication network is all star-shaped, that is, a region has a large Atlantis crystal for signal coverage, and it is used between regions. Dedicated signal relay crystal for connection. Among them, large Atlantis crystals are generally set in fortress cities, and must be protected by heavy soldiers, or they are hidden in a special way to ensure that no one can find them. The communication relay node uses the method of wide spread network. Anyway, the repeater is very cheap. It can be thrown away at a few hundred within a proper range. Even if it is destroyed or moved, it is not possible to reimburse hundreds of them at the same time. .
However, this kind of information chain has become a big problem at sea, especially the two super-ocean oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Not only are they large in area, but also not in the area completely controlled by our guild, it is naturally inconvenient to place large Atlantis. Crystal, after all, this stuff is also very difficult to do. The Atlantis crystal, which looks like a four-story building, is the largest piece we have at present, and so far we have not found such a second piece. Among the other Atlantis crystals, the common Atlantis crystals that we use as a large coverage source are all the size of two containers. This volume is less than one-eighth of the largest Atlantis crystal.
The coverage of this slightly more common large Atlantis crystal signal is not bad, but the amount needed to cover the Pacific Ocean is still quite scary. Therefore, we have set up transfer stations near the main channels that are commonly used. This maritime signal transfer station is the same as a maritime buoy, with an Atlantis crystal about two adults in size. This volume of crystal is easy to get, so it can be set in large numbers and placed in a checkerboard pattern near the channel to ensure that each signal buoy can cover at least eight nearby buoys. This will ensure that the signal will not be accidentally interrupted.
but. The transport ship can sail along the fairway, and the warship can also sail along the fairway when there is no battle. There is no problem. However, it is impossible for warships not to fight, and there is no way to guarantee navigation problems in battle. Sometimes, in order to transfer special materials, it is necessary to leave the channel to sail confidentially. Signals will be lost in this process because the signal station is too far away from the channel to cover.
In response to this situation, the method we use is to install larger Atlantis crystals on the large battleships in the fleet. The battleships like the Biling-class battleships are equipped with Atlas the size of a minivan. Landis crystal. The coverage of this gadget is not bad, but it is not enough.
The battleship is a battleship after all, and the internal space is used to install combat facilities, so there is not much room for crystals. More importantly, the Atlantis crystal is a relatively fragile thing after all. The probability of damage in battle is too high, and the large Atlantis crystal is more precious and cannot be replaced frequently. Therefore, the communication ship came into being ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Just like the pilot ship, the communication ship is also a dedicated ship. This communication ship has very little self-defense firepower, and its combat effectiveness is basically negligible. However, the size of this guy is actually not small, generally comparable to the size of light cruisers, and most of these ships are trimaran or catamarans, and there is a communication boat parking garage inside. When the large fleet deviates from the main channel, this communication ship will be accompanied by a guarantee. The large Atlantis crystal carried on it has regional signal coverage capabilities, which can ensure ultra-long-range communication. Although this large Atlantis crystal is easily broken, the communication ship is specifically designed to communicate, so it can stay away from the battlefield when fighting, coupled with its special balance settings, the stability is very good, and the speed Quickly, the enemy cannot catch up. What's more important is that there are many small boats with small Atlantis crystals in this thing. When they are far away from the channel, they can also be released to serve as transit stations to establish temporary signal channels.
The reason I can hear the of war now is because a large ship formation is approaching in this direction, and the signal of the assigned communication ship can just cover our location. Of course, because this signal source is large enough and covers a very wide area, the fleet is actually very far away from us now.
"This place is not the main channel. How did the fleet come this way?" I asked the of war with confusion, who knew that the answer from the of war surprised me. (To be continued ...)
