Upon hearing the other person's words, a look of worry appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
"It seems that the satellite is finally unable to hold on, and our communications may be interrupted, making it extremely difficult to contact the outside world."
Xiao Shan sat in front of Lu Yuan, also somewhat worried.
"Yes, our tunnel is not yet completed. If the super storm intensifies again, and we encounter any more problems inside the fortress, we won't be able to find out immediately."
“That’s right. Not only that, although the situation at the fortress seems to be fine now, there are still undercurrents. If those mobs launch another attack on the fortress, then it will be really troublesome.”
Lu Yuan then hung up the phone and tried to contact Zhou Tong again.
Unfortunately, all the calls went to busy, and the cell phone signal kept disappearing until finally no signal could be found at all.
Their communication privileges are transmitted via the highest frequency signal from the satellite, which is something ordinary people cannot access. The fact that even the highest frequency signal has been interrupted indicates that the situation inside the fortress is now even more dire.
Lu Yuan guessed correctly. The moment the communication was cut off, the entire management team in the core fortress was thrown into chaos.
Because their communication was all transmitted via the internet and telecommunications, when the network was interrupted, all phone calls could no longer be made, and the network was terminated.
Chen Zhongzheng, who was in the middle of a conference call, frowned as he watched the television screen suddenly turn blue. He turned to his assistant and said something.
"Go and see what's going on. Why did the signal suddenly drop? This meeting is very important to us. We can't let communication problems ruin our plans."
The assistant nodded immediately, got up, and went to the network department.
The network department staff were frantically checking for problems, but after checking everything, they discovered that the problem wasn't with them at all, but rather with the signal at the main station.
So they told Chen Zhongzheng's assistant about it.
The assistant's face immediately showed a hint of worry after hearing this.
"Could there be a problem with the satellite? You should go to the satellite base right now and check to find out what happened."
The people from the network department immediately nodded, then went downstairs, got into their car, and drove towards the satellite communications headquarters.
Upon arriving at the location, they saw Xiao Pinghai and several others directing operations.
The huge office was now without internet, and the network team found him immediately after they arrived.
"Supervisor Xiao, what's going on? Why did the communication suddenly drop? Commander Chen is currently discussing with personnel from other fortresses about jointly clearing the sewers. If this isn't dealt with quickly, we might be flooded here."
After listening to this, Xiao Pinghai sighed.
He was referring to the three words "No Signal" that were flashing back and forth on the big screen.
"There's nothing we can do. The network has been down. We're currently investigating the problem. We suspect the satellite was struck by lightning, which damaged one of its components."
We are currently trying to find other ways to control the satellite. Once the satellite loses control, its orbit is very likely to change. We are even more anxious than you are.
The people in the network department immediately changed color after hearing this.
"What? The satellite was struck by lightning? No way? That's a very high place, how could it be struck by lightning from the clouds?"
"I'm not entirely sure about this either. We've already sent a meteorological team to investigate. We're starting to suspect that the cloud cover is thicker than we previously measured, and that it's still increasing in thickness."
We are now confirming whether the satellite can be regained control. If it cannot, all our communications will be cut off from this moment on, with no possibility of restoration!
For a time, the entire satellite communication control system was in complete chaos.
Xiao Pinghai was already overwhelmed with work and had no intention of wasting any more time here.
So he quickly said to the other person with a full sense of apology.
"I'm so sorry, please go and tell Commander Chen that we will restore communications as soon as possible. If we can't restore them, we will report this to them immediately!"
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work!"
After saying that, the network team left, and at that moment they were at another location in the fortress.
Luo Xuan's face also showed a hint of solemnity, because they still did not know what had happened that required the leaders of their dozen or so fortresses to hold a remote conference call.
The meeting mainly focused on reporting the flood discharge issues caused by the heavy rainfall brought by this superstorm. The terrain where they are located is still relatively high, but as the torrential rain pours down, more and more soil is being brought over, quickly forming an alluvial fan plain downstream.
These alluvial fans gradually rose, blocking rainwater from upstream, which caused the water level to slowly rise.
If this problem is not dealt with quickly, their fortress may be threatened.
Therefore, they must deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it is very likely to cause a flood. Once the flood occurs, the passageways connecting these fortresses will be damaged.
