Chapter 214： Nogen base

Use zero element to make energy? This is obviously a very extravagant plan, and without mentioning the rarity of zero elements, the frequent transportation of materials is also a troubling problem. This is obviously a problem for the Yipsiron people who pay attention to work efficiency. Unacceptable things.

In layman's terms, the relay station only serves as a bridge. If a bridge needs to be renovated every three days before it can be opened to traffic, then what is the use of building it?

Therefore, the relay station must have a stable and efficient energy source, and it is best to obtain local materials for independent development and utilization.

In the end, the Ypsilonians got their idea on the giant gaseous planets. Generally speaking, the main components of these gaseous planets are hydrogen and helium. Among them, the reserves of helium 3, a raw material for clean fusion, are very large. Take the solar system. For Jupiter, the mass of helium 3 alone is equivalent to 80 Earths.

There is no doubt that as long as the helium 3 on these gaseous planets is used well, a long-term, stable and convenient energy supply system can be formed.

In addition, there is another advantage. The helium 3 element is collected locally, and the relay station can free up more space to store the zero element. It is as large as it is, and the zero element is recharged once, if it is only used to delay the insects. The cave collapsed, enough to last for a hundred years.

Since then, repeaters have been equipped with helium-3 collection devices. Every two months, they will enter the atmosphere of the gaseous planets of their respective star systems to collect helium-3 elements to run fusion reactions and output various system modules. The energy required.

Like the terminal star in front of us, the **** spot storm ring is formed because of the repeater's collection system. As long as the repeater is on the terminal star, it will not fade away.

"That's it." After listening to Tang Fang's narration, five people had waited for a long time to digest and absorb the information.

Claire looked up and swept across the diamond photosphere: "So, the relay station can leave the atmosphere of the terminal star and enter the outer space?"

Tang Fang nodded: "It's easy."

Apart from the way to escape from the terminal star, he also found a solution to the problem of the deviation of the repeater's coordinates.

During the conversation with Claire before. He once said that the "generator" is missing a vital link. In fact, it is not. What is missing is not one link, but two links. The Ypsilon people will use communication facilities in advance before using the "generator" for group transition. Send a transition request to the repeater. After the repeater receives the transition request, if it is in the normal position, it will send a response signal. If it is replenishing energy inside the gaseous planet, it will activate the automatic navigation system, return to the normal position first, and then send a response signal so that the transition can be efficient and effective. Completed safely.

Before the Morningstar entered the transition state, it did not send a transition request in advance, so the repeater would naturally not head to its original position. Therefore, the navigation star chart is inaccurate. Of course, for experienced warship pilots, it doesn't matter whether they send a jump request, they can follow the guidance of the subspace navigation mark. Find the location of the repeater easily.

To be honest, even if Tang Fang knew this early in the morning, he would not be able to do it. The Morningstar did not have the Epsilon communication equipment and could not send the transition request in advance.

But, now that there is a repeater as a base, everything is easy. He can use the communication equipment here. Get the location of other transition repeaters in the universe in advance to update the navigation star map.

As expected, the repeater was in automatic operation, and there was no Epsilon in the entire ruins, not even a corpse. This made Tang Fang very puzzled. He had previously retrieved the internal surveillance video of the repeater. At the beginning, during the construction period of the repeater, there were some statue guards for daily assembly, maintenance, and patrol work. However, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer statue guards. Until it finally becomes a dead zone.

Where are the Ypsilons? Why are there fewer and fewer statue guards?

Thinking of the scene similar to that experienced in the assembly workshop when he came, he couldn't help frowning deeply. Is it possible that these mechanical products are also dormant? It is necessary to know that the repeater performs fusion reaction by absorbing helium 3, and there is no problem of insufficient energy at all. These mechanical products should always survive.

"Hey, hey, Tang Fang, what do you think?" Walton interrupted his thoughts: "Should we report our safety to the Morningstar?"

"Yes, why did I forget this? Wait a minute." After that, he turned around and walked back to the platform, tapping his index finger on a light curtain in the air.

After a few seconds, dozens of cyan rays were emitted from the center of the light curtain, drawing a holographic projection image in midair.

"Is Tang Fang you?" Grant frowned in the picture, and he was a little nervous.

"It's me." Tang Fang walked to the opposite side of him, letting a beam of laser sweep his body from top to bottom: "Don't worry, everyone is safe and sound. We have successfully reached the control center."

Thinking of seeing the image transmitted by the laser scanning device, Grant let out a long sigh of relief: “It’s fine, I haven’t seen contact for so long. I thought something happened. By the way, what happened? Is there any way to do it?"

"Of course." Tang Fang smiled and nodded: "Now the entire ruins are under my control, and it's not a trivial matter to get away from the final star."

"Ha, that would be great. Since there is no danger, then I will drive the Morningstar over now." Grant can't wait to enter the repeater for a tour to know the remains of Epsilon It is not accessible to ordinary people, not just him, I am afraid that all the crew of the Morningstar have this idea.

"Hold on." Tang Fang narrowed his eyes and said to stop him: "It won't be too late for me to clear away those annoying things, and then drive the Morning Star over."

"What annoying thing?" Grant was taken aback. After a while, a plan view flashed next to the holographic projection, which contained an aerial view of the ruins sent back by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. At this moment, on the "rudder" where Tang Fang landed, the pink cloud gas mass almost condensed into substance, submerging most of the area. "You mean them?"

"Not bad." Tang Fang affirmed. Those mushroom creatures were densely packed and almost laid a layer on the surface of the repeater. He now uses the ruins as a logistics base. As the saying goes, no one can snoring on the side of the couch. It's time to clean up if you are feeling or reasoning.

"Do you need help?"

"No, there is no need to waste ammunition." Tang Fang refused: "I will contact you after the'cleaning' is over, first."

Seeing that he disconnected from the Morningstar, Claire hesitated: "Why don't you let them help, if it's just us..."
