I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 475 - 4: Sky Base Station? Artificial Satellite!

A long time ago, Li Boyang knew that Wu Zhen was conducting various experiments with the "single-unit aircraft."

The currently launched glider can only be considered as a byproduct of the "single-unit aircraft" project.

From Li Boyang’s perspective, Wu Zhen might not have even spent extra energy on mass-producing the glider if not to quickly recoup funds.

For the same reasons, Wu Zhen agreed to Li Jingshu’s proposal for the "Sky Base Station" project.

It has to be mentioned here.

Although this world possesses Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the basic physical rules have not changed significantly.

Therefore, the Sound Transmission Talisman based on the principles of radio broadcasts also follows the basic rules of electromagnetic signal transmission.

Once the set distance is exceeded, the Sound Transmission Talisman’s signal weakens until it completely disappears.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One method is to amplify the Sound Transmission Talisman’s signal and install specific receiving antennas.

However, this not only requires extra external devices but also increases the Sound Transmission Talismans’ capacity and size, which does not fit its portable nature.

At least with the existence of rune newspapers, the biggest advantage of the Sound Transmission Talisman lies in its ease of carrying and communication encryption.

Thus, to solve this issue, Li Jingshu proposed a signal relay method.

This involves using a fixed base station to receive and transmit signals from the Sound Transmission Talismans, thereby expanding their communication range.

Moreover, with the fixed base station, the Sound Transmission Talismans could achieve one-to-many encrypted communication, rather than the previous one-to-one mode.

However, this brought a new problem.

With the current productivity and technological level of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, building and maintaining signal bases on a large scale like 21st-century Earth is impossible.

Considering issues of radio signal blockage and attenuation.

Even if each village built a signal base, seamless communication across the Hundred Lands Mountain Range would be impossible.

At this moment, Li Jingshu noticed the "steam aircraft" of the Flying Heaven Stronghold.

—Since ground bases are unfeasible, how about constructing bases in the sky?

If the signal base is placed in the sky, it could effectively avoid issues of radio signal blockage and attenuation, without worrying about deliberate damage from some Mountain Gods or Water Gods.

Apart from difficult maintenance, sky bases have far stronger advantages than ground bases.

Thus, after mutual agreement, the "Sky Base Station" project emerged.

...........................

"Is that the Sky Base Station?"

Standing on the vast plain of the Flying Heaven Stronghold, Li Jingshu thoughtfully observed the colossal sphere ahead.

The sphere covers nearly a hundred square meters.

One can vaguely see the intricate steel frame structure inside and the various complex electromagnetic component structures.

Yet, aside from this, the outer part of the massive sphere is not made of steel or alloys but is clearly a biological material.

The white biological material resembles plants, yet also appears flesh-like.

They envelop the entire sphere in a spine-chilling manner.

Occasionally, they show nerve twitching movements similar to convulsions.

This signifies that this biological material is not just flesh-like on the surface; it contains a complete nervous system and biological organization.

"What’s the matter? You don’t like this exterior?"

Walking slowly beside Li Jingshu, Wu Zhen smiled brightly as he looked at the Sky Base Station.

"No, I just think this thing looks a bit like a giant ’eyeball’..."

"Did you replace the originally planned bronze material with a biological structure to adapt to the cold and low-oxygen environment of near-earth orbit?"

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to believe such a whimsical idea could actually come true."

Hearing Li Jingshu say this, Wu Zhen’s smile grew even brighter.

"I didn’t expect the base station could be utilized in such ways either."

"Steel frame on the inside, biological structure on the outside..."

"If this thing had self-awareness, I’d suspect it’s come alive."

At this point, Wu Zhen slightly paused his tone.

"But it perfectly meets all your requirements. As long as there’s enough of these Sky Base Stations, your Sound Transmission Talisman signals can spread throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"When necessary, the Sky Base Station can even attach weapons, having certain self-defense abilities."

Not fooled by Wu Zhen’s grand promises, Li Jingshu suddenly squinted and asked.

"Such a level of biological technology isn’t one of your specialties, is it?"

Although Wu Zhen is a rebel of Xingtian City and has single-handedly researched Divine Artifacts like the Ten Rings of White Bone.

But such biological technology, involving cells and even gene structure, clearly isn’t something Wu Zhen could figure out alone.

Especially after arriving at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Most of Wu Zhen’s energy was focused on the Yin Yang Proverbs and Mechanical Dynamics given by Li Boyang, leaving no time to delve into biology and cytology.

"Don’t look at me like that. We’ve cooperated for so many years. Do we not have even a bit of trust?"

Noticing Li Jingshu’s suspicious gaze, Wu Zhen spread his hands and explained.

"For confidentiality of the technology, I really didn’t involve the Great Witch from Wushan this time."

"Moreover, ever since the Celestial Being reshaped Heaven and Earth, countless people from Great Xia sneaked into this Hundred Lands Mountain Range; I don’t need to secretly disseminate the Path of Celestial and Human anymore."

"Don’t you trust that wherever you walk casually to any village at the periphery, at least seven out of ten outsiders are from Great Xia?"

"With the Celestial Being’s lectures at Yunmeng Marsh once a month, who would come to me for second-hand information?"

What Wu Zhen said was true and reflected the common phenomenon of recent years.

After Li Boyang intentionally or unintentionally relaxed the control over Yunmeng Marsh.

During each lecture, outside Gods and Spirit Monsters would quietly sneak into Yunmeng Marsh to listen to the teachings.

As for the Ghost Gods originally trapped in Yunmeng Marsh?

After years of teachings, most have regained the freedom.

Some even chose to stay in Yunmeng Marsh, becoming Guardian Gods of Yunmeng Marsh, wholeheartedly maintaining its order.

"Since it’s not the Great Witch from Wushan, then who participated this time?"

Uncertain if she believed him or not, Li Jingshu simply continued to ask.

"Um, alright!"

"This is not me revealing secrets on his behalf; you’re the one persistently asking."

Mumbling quietly, Wu Zhen candidly revealed the source of the technology.

"It’s Snake Bone, or you can call it Ling Guzi..."

"After learning of this situation here, he voluntarily offered to help solve the cold currents and low oxygen issue of the low orbit."
