Chapter 53 Communication Signal Tower
Chapter 53 Communication Signal Tower
The laser, which condenses extremely high temperature, slowly cuts through the twisted metal shell of the tower top chassis.
Exposing the wires and circuit boards inside that had been shattered into a mess.
Su Wu only took a glance and felt dizzy. He had no idea whether they were in good or bad condition.
But it doesn't matter.
Wait patiently for half a second.
Lines of maintenance reports began to appear on the screen.
Su Wu moved his eyes and scanned the area. He immediately understood what was going on.
The situation is not serious.
With just a small amount of raw materials, the engineering robot can repair it completely.
Without hesitation, Su Wu immediately ordered the engineering robot to start repairs.
Also use survival points to upgrade items.
The two states of damaged and intact will bring different upgrade routes.
The former is equivalent to repairing the original one, and strengthening is just a by-product. The latter is a special upgrade to give the item the highest possible technological content.
Therefore, whenever possible, the best option is always to repair the item first and then upgrade it.
Two hours flew by.
With the joint efforts of several construction robots and transport vehicles, the repaired signal tower was dragged into the exit passage of the shelter.
Subsequently, all external operations of the shelter were suspended.
The outermost door of the exit passage began to close slowly, completely isolating the high temperature from the outside world.
Then, at the end of the passage, the explosion-proof door near the lifting platform opened automatically. The cold air from the central air conditioner in the shelter slowly flowed in, gradually dissipating the residual heat in the passage.
Su Wu left the control center and came to the lifting platform.
He stood there for a moment, looking at the communication tower that almost occupied the exit passage in front and behind.
Finally, there was action.
"Be willful for a while."
Upgrading signal towers consumes survival points. According to the original plan, survival points were to be supplied to the control center first for the manufacture of CNC machine tools and 3D printers.
Su Wu's actions this time will undoubtedly delay the original plan.
But he wanted to do so.
Reach out and press the top of the signal tower.
The stinging heat transmitted from the skin of his palm made Su Wu subconsciously retract his hand.
【Communication signal tower】
[Evaluation: This is a communication base station with complete signal sending and receiving functions. ]
[Upgradeable sub-options: Expand capacity, expand range, increase penetration. ]
Without too much introduction.
For the signal tower, only three simple and clear upgrade options pop up on the system panel: increase the number of people who can use it at the same time, expand the signal sending and receiving range, and increase the signal's penetration ability.
Each of these options is very useful.
However, the limited survival points mean that you can only choose one of them for the time being.
Su Wu considered it carefully and chose to upgrade to increase penetration.
If the capacity is not enough, the network will be a little bit slower at best. If the range is smaller, the signal will only cover a smaller number of shelters. There is no essential difference.
But penetration is different.
This is an almost black technology.
It can ignore obstacles, easily penetrate soil and rock, and transmit signals directly to the shelter deep underground.
In this way, even if the owner of the shelter is unwilling to cooperate in opening up network permissions, the members living inside the shelter can still receive Su Wu's network signal. However, the penetration attribute can only solve the problem of sending the signal.
If there is no communication device installed on the surface by the shelter itself to relay, even if the penetration attribute is loaded, the signal tower will still not be able to receive feedback from the shelter members.
This is equivalent to going from the Internet, which allows communication, to a television that can only watch one channel.
But this actually has little impact.
As long as the unilateral information monopoly is broken, it will be much easier to get the people in power in the shelter to agree to open up the Internet.
The most that can be done is to ask members of the shelter who use the Internet to pay some equipment rental fees themselves, and pass the profits on to the shelter owner.
After confirming the upgrade option, ten survival points disappeared instantly.
A burst of white light spread across the signal tower, silently smoothing out its deformed appearance that had been torn apart violently, making it look as good as new.
Then the top of the tower was integrated into a closed body that is approximately spherical.
It looks quite simple and beautiful.
Su Wu reached out and touched the sphere. The cool feeling fed back from his fingertips indicated that it was a metal with an unusually smooth surface.
Maybe it's iron, or maybe some special alloy.
"Go try it."
Su Wu's eyes showed anticipation, and he couldn't wait to test the function of this new signal tower.
He issued several relevant commands through the tablet computer he carried with him, then turned around and walked towards the control room.
Behind him, the explosion-proof door of the lift platform began to slowly close, isolating the signal tower and several robots standing near the signal tower from the shelter.
Ten minutes later.
A new 15-meter-high signal tower.
It was erected on the top floor of a small bunker on the surface.
[Wireless charging starts pairing.]
[Match successful.]
[Communication signal towers have been included in the regular power supply sequence.]
[Communications tower begins to activate.]
[Startup successful.]
[Wireless network has been deployed.]
The second underground level of the shelter.
control center.
Su Wu unlocked the screen of his mobile phone and searched for a network icon with full signal.
He clicks on the link.
After a moment, a simple search page popped up on the phone screen.
That is a special prompt that will only pop up when you connect to the network for the first time.
"Success."
Su Wu knew that from this moment on, the communication signal tower had completely taken over the original local area network, and expanded its coverage from inside the shelter to all places within a 15-kilometer radius.
within this range.
Anyone with a wireless communication device can connect to or receive his network signal.
The embryo of a new Internet was born here, at this moment.
Su Wu Sanctuary is 13 km away.
A private sanctuary also located in the suburbs.
A young man who had just charged his mobile phone with a hand-cranked generator was flipping through the various settings on his phone out of boredom.
During the many days in the underground shelter, he had already watched all the novels, movies and videos stored in his mobile phone.
At this point, he doesn't know what to do with his phone.
"I should have been more diligent and downloaded some stand-alone games that can be played offline."
Wang Hao felt very regretful.
It's not like he had never downloaded games before, but who would have thought that those games that were clearly marked as stand-alone games could no longer be accessed after the Internet was disconnected.
Isn't this cheating?
