The total opening time this time is 16 days. With this reference, Solaris gave an accurate time node.
Under the premise that the development of Little Bear City will no longer extract magic power, after 10 months, it can be opened for another 20 days.
Wang Qi also asked if the preparation time would be longer and if it could be opened a little longer. Solaris said yes, but he was unwilling. The reason was only related to Firefly City.
What is relevant there is only the lifespan of the slime mold man, and perhaps it is related to his life form. Wang Qi did not get too entangled and began to work with the headquarters to study a formal action plan.
There is still a lot of preparation required for official action.
First of all, how to build an "alien stele" so that people in the future can turn around and come back to study the will of the local world.
A little rougher, maybe just write a prophetic inscription.
To be more radical, we need to make future people aware of the existence of "stone monuments".
Civilization may not always move forward, especially in a place like the Exiled Place, which can shatter even the earth. It is even more difficult to imagine what form of civilization can survive all kinds of changes. Even if a space station can be established during the continuation of the Phoenix Kingdom, a complete system that can sustain the survival of at least dozens of people for decades to hundreds of years is needed to ensure that technological development can continue.
Although the "Stele" mission was an introduction and the trend of development into outer space has almost been set, the technological span between going to outer space and going to Proxima Centauri is still beyond Wang Qi's ability to judge.
Therefore, to "inevitably" attract attention, the "stone tablet" needs to be able to actively send signals to this planetary system.
The optical signal is very good, but it has to travel a distance measured in light years. In the absence of high-level laser technology, the energy consumption of the optical signal is still too huge, and the local environment cannot support the time span of thousands of years.
The electrical signal is better, but its attenuation in the penal colony is very serious, but it is normal in the vacuum test, so the situation in the penal colony is likely to be some kind of influence caused by the will of the local world.
Regarding radio, in order to solve the bottleneck of wireless communication in the early days, we have accumulated a certain amount of experience. We organized some people and spent several months to come up with a simple directional transmitter, which was not a big problem.
Of course, due to insufficient technical capabilities, the technical requirements for the receiver will be relatively high, and breaking through the atmosphere is probably the minimum requirement.
But this is already the most feasible option.
Second, the official mission location.
Referring to the development of the world gate in the main world in the penal colony, judging from the positioning ability of the main world side, the possibility of the two openings completely coinciding is relatively small. Even if it is Solaris who casts the spell, taking into account the distance and the gravity of the celestial body, it is necessary to achieve absolute Precise positioning is not that easy.
Even if Solaris can achieve completely consistent positioning, the ice below is not a good mission execution point.
So the staff wanted to see if there was a more suitable place.
Therefore, a formal mission requires a serious aircraft to find a suitable location and orientation, and to carry the equipment required for the mission, as well as additional support for the astronauts.
The size should be designed according to the passability of the portal, because Solaris's portal has a "cut-off" feature, and it is at most the size of an ordinary truck.
Not only are there many related companies for building this kind of vehicle, there are also super-ancient landers in mines and military flying fortresses that can provide reference experience. There is no strong radiation environment at the mission point, and the gravity is less than 0.1g, so no need Taking into account the risks associated with high-speed landing, there are not many additional requirements other than sealing and insulation and easy maneuverability.
The difficulty lies in how to position the portal so as not to fly out and not be able to come back. The extra effort will not be calculated on a day-to-day basis.
There is no time to fiddle with a technical system in this regard. We can only use light signals to solve the problem. Fortunately, in a vacuum environment, the light itself is reliable enough. The lack of direct sunlight in the local area is also an advantage. Making a conspicuous stroboscopic package within hundreds of kilometers is a problem. Not big.
The third is the equipment mounting method.
Because the door is not big enough to accommodate two astronauts, control, power, life support and other equipment, even if some changes are made in the shape, it is difficult to add too much space under the prerequisite of "five seconds to pass".
However, the mission "Stele" needs to send signals across a distance that may be more than one light-year, and the power determines that it cannot be made very small.
So it is simply divided into two, the equipment rack and vehicle are separated, and the astronauts assemble it on-site on the other side.
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as the reduced observation ability of astronauts in the absence of stellar light, movement restrictions caused by spacesuits, work difficulties caused by relative speed, possible damage to the vehicle due to docking, etc.
It can be said that although the most technically complex part of rocket launch is omitted, the Phoenix Kingdom's technical capabilities can only barely support such a task.
All tasks are progressing in an orderly manner, but the demons have no intention of letting people live a good life.
Halfway through the preparations for the official mission, a new temporary world gate opened, and Gates 1, 2, 4, and 5 of the five Demon Realm Gates simultaneously launched an attack.
Gate No. 3 was not moved because the area where the Crystal Giants lived was not directly ruled by the Demon Lord. Due to immigration, if the local giants did not cooperate with the foreign lords, the other party's group operations would not be able to proceed.
Even if you leave aside door number three, the movement of the four doors combined is difficult enough.
However, the demons wanted to cause trouble, but the war was not particularly intense.
The environment is terrible. The average air pressure is 720 hectopascals. The temperature at night is ten degrees or more lower than during the day, and the lowest temperature can reach minus eight to ten degrees.
First of all, low air pressure and temperature are not conducive to species such as little devils that rely entirely on appendages or wings to fly. Intermediate devils that have wings but rely more on magic are better, but the cold will still speed up heat loss and require more food.
Although the demon clan created another demon dragon at gates 1, 2, and 5, and successfully created two portals near the middle circle, the overall environment of the army affected the spread, and the spread speed was too slow, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the divine warriors. They smashed the door to pieces, and the dragon was defeated by the cooperation of the air force and the divine warriors.
The magic dragon is not weak, but it is too big, and no matter how flexible it is, it cannot avoid air attacks. As for magic, its long range is easily blocked by the air force's magic shield system, and its short range is out of reach.
The tactical ideas of the God Warriors are similar to those of the Air Force. They focus on harassment and consumption, and deliver a fatal blow at the right time. However, they have no range and speed advantages over the Demon Dragons, and their magic power is several orders of magnitude different. Casualties are prone to occur, so there is military cooperation between the two sides.
The battle in the middle circle only affected three floating islands. The more troublesome part was the path from each gate to the world gate.
It was okay at Gate 1. After the portal was destroyed, the two armies had a slight collision and the other side retreated. We were all old rivals and this was not the first time they had competed. There was no need to cause too much damage.
Gate 4 is more troublesome. They are all large dragon-shaped species with a high degree of proliferation. Although the over-proliferation makes it difficult to completely destroy the city, the route crisis makes it difficult for flights to take off and land, which indeed affects the production and life of the entire area. Cleaning up It also requires more time and manpower investment.
The demon clan corresponding to Gate No. 5 is still active in Fatal. The specific situation has not been reported by Fatal. However, judging from the arms trade projects between the two countries, the incident has gradually calmed down after more than a month.
More than a month is a short time in a war, and Fatel should not have air transport troops, or there may be help from the main world in the middle.
The situation at Gate 2 is still so comfortable, with many demons popping up, but it may be due to the poor organization of intelligence factors, and due to the lack of high-threat flying species in the ice cap ecology, it is difficult for the disaster to expand. In addition, It is the direction that the main world side focuses on, and the damage caused in the end is not as good as the three islands in the middle circle.
The prisoners captured this time revealed that the lord told them it was "the last time", but they don't know whether they can believe it or not. Judging from the changes in the environment, if the situation does not improve in the next few years, it will be difficult for the demons to fight a decent battle except relying on the magic dragon. The magic dragon is not conjured out of thin air. It requires a lot of precious casting materials. The investment alone has no output, which is very frustrating to the enthusiasm. , maybe it will really stop.
