Deep Space Sensor Array
Back in the lab, Xia Fei pulled out two Snake Eye Berries from his spatial ring and handed them to Harris. He also ate two himself. For someone who worked long hours, meals were merely a way to satisfy the stomach's needs. What truly boosted one's spirit and energy were these miraculous fruits.
Since we already know that the second frequency is connected to some mysterious main control system in the universe, it's time to uncover the truth, Xia Fei said.
Harris excitedly said, Based on my analysis, there are only two possibilities. One is that the nether bell's manufacturer deliberately added the second frequency to keep track of the user's movements. That's not very likely, for the user will surely fly into a rage if they find out that the manufacturer is spying on them.
The other possibility is that the nether bell's ability to accurately locate the communicator it needs to connect to and transmit the signal in the form of a directed meson energy wave must require a location, and a precise location at that.
"It is extremely difficult to locate a tiny communicator in the vast sea of stars. Therefore, I speculate that the alien civilization that produced such a device must've established a super-large deep-space sensor array in an unknown corner of the sea of stars to locate the communicators that are scattered everywhere in the sea of stars and help them locate each other as a relay.
Xia Fei nodded. He turned on the video system and displayed the internal structure of the nether bell in the lab, magnified by a thousand times.
What you said makes a lot of sense. If they really built a super large sensor array in the vast space, the technology involved must be very advanced. What I don't understand is, if the sensor array really exists, why didn't the aliens directly use it to transmit signals instead of just using it as a navigation system? Xia Fei crossed his arms and rubbed his chin in confusion.
Harris thought about it and said, Actually, it's not that hard to understand. If all the signals are relayed through the sensor array, there'll be suspicions of privacy being spied on. The designer of the nether bell must have considered this, which is why they separated the two systems of communication and positioning.
Xia Fei sighed. "If it's possible, I'd really like to take a look at this super sensor array. Just what kind of technology does it use to scan the entire galaxy? You should know that it has to pass through layers and layers of barriers, and the array has been working all these years without any damage. Could someone be maintaining it?"
Xia Fei could not help but shake his head at this thought. The nether bell was found in some ruins by the ancestors of the Assassin Sect. Back then, the extraterrestrial civilization had already perished, so why would there be people maintaining the sensor array for tens of thousands of years?
Xia Fei suddenly thought of the word 'robot'. It was entirely possible that the maintenance was done by robots. As long as there was light, they would have energy, and as long as there was energy, they could repair themselves. Could this giant sensor array hidden in space be maintained by robots?
Perhaps due to Qin Mangs influence, Xia Fei was very sensitive to the word 'robot'. He had always wanted to see with his own eyes what an intelligent robot looked like and how they worked, but unfortunately, he was not able to do.
"If we follow this mysterious radio wave, can we pinpoint the location of the super scanning array?" Xia Fei asked.
Harris chuckled. "The scanning array is just a guess. If you really follow the tracks of the radio waves, no one knows what you will find."
Xia Fei replied, "I'm well aware of that. I'm only concerned about finding the source of the signal, no matter what it is."
Harris said, "Locating a node in space is very difficult because there are too many variables to consider, but if we can create a frequency attenuation index analyzer, there's still a chance of finding it."
Any signal of any frequency would experience attenuation as it traveled through space. The further it traveled, the weaker the signal would become, until it eventually disappeared into the darkness of space. Tracking a target based on the strength of the signal was a common tracking method, but it was necessary to simulate a decoding system based on the signal's source first.
"Since that's the case, our next step is not only to figure out the directional transmission technology of the nether bell but also to develop an analog decoding system to track the signal's source," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Harris nodded. He could only comply with Xia Fei's request, and there was nothing else he could do. Phantom, however, said, "You're not thinking of finding that sensor array, are you? Harris already said that it's just a guess. Nobody can really predict what we'll find. "
Xia Fei chuckled. "Think about it. Let's say that we have a scanning array that can sense the entire galaxy, or if we grasp the technology, who could possibly compete with Quantum Holdings in the field of communication?
"Besides, I have a feeling that the sensor array and the super radar used by the Titan-class battleship might have some kind of connection. However, the Titan's radar system is focused on ultra-long-distance transmission, while the nether bell's system is unique in terms of positioning. If the two are combined, there will definitely be a new product that transcends time."
…
The laboratory continued its work. As time passed, the nether bell was dismantled into many packages and opened one by one. The new discoveries were naturally delightful, but the problem of how to integrate the nether bell's point-to-point transmission technology with the Titan-class battleship's radar system was still a major headache.
Xia Fei did not expect the nether bell to use a completely different technology from a normal radar. The two were not technically interchangeable, so it was difficult to learn from them.
Harris's work came to an end after he understood the nether bell's communication method. He began to devote more time to the training of his new students and his research on single-celled organisms.
For some reason, Harris had recently become very interested in simple single-celled organisms. He kept observing them with a high-resolution microscope every day, recording the growth process of the cells.
Xia Fei knew that it was impossible for Harris to give up on his research on the seventh brain region. The man must have come up with some new idea, which was why he had switched his focus to those little things. Xia Fei did not mind. His craziness had decreased a lot recently, and he would often help others on purpose. His life in the lab must have helped him regain some of his past, and he was getting older, so his thinking was no longer as stubborn as before.
There was still no progress on the production of the new radar, but the time he had set for the tournament was getting closer and closer. Boateng had already left for the military's strongest warship tournament, and Xia Fei's main event, the Golden Finger Cup, would be in two months.
Xia Fei knew that Avril was still waiting for him in the capital ring, so he packed his belongings and set off on his journey there once more. His research had reached a bottleneck, and perhaps he might be able to come up with some good ideas after a change of mood.
