Fiber tube atresia.
The secondary line protection circuit is activated.
The subspace generators ignited in sequence.
Countdown to space tearing.
5…4…3…2…1…
The star gate was officially activated at this moment.
Symmetrically distributed subspace generators on the inner wall of this circular megastructure were activated. A layer of pale blue light emanated from these generators. Guided by some strange force, this blue light converged at the center of the ring and quickly broke free of the illusory light curtain state, transforming into a transparent, film-like entity.
This film is like a vibrating water curtain, but what you see through the water curtain is not the starry sky behind it, but a purple-red scene.
There is the warp, a realm that humans have been unable to explain to this day.
Then the originally dense purple fog began to recede, and the fog quickly collapsed backwards, leaving behind a columnar passage about the same size as the star gate.
This is a sign that the subspace channel is being activated.
The reason for the existence of these warp lanes is unknown. In spatial geometry, they are believed to be intersections between the warp's topology and the local universe. At these intersections, the barriers between the two universes' realities cancel each other out, leaving these passages open for information to pass through.
"Entity presence detected, bridging initiated."
The Lionhead Star Gate, where Bai Yi was located, detected the signal from the opposing Star Gate, and the two began to connect through the subspace channel. The operator began to carefully adjust the Star Gate frequency, trying to connect with the other party's frequency.
"The spectrum is a bit strange this time." On the local channel, Bai Yi heard an operator talking to himself.
"What do you mean?" asked another voice, and judging from the tone, it seemed to be his colleague.
"I've been in this business for over a decade, but I've never seen such a strong signal on band 16."
"When it's accurate, won't there be a strong signal on band 16?"
"That's what happened." The operator's tone at the beginning was a little unconfident.
"But I've never seen anything so accurate in practice. This thing is as weird as the absolutely smooth plane in junior high school physics textbooks."
This communication ends here.
The Leon Star Gate has completed the bridge connection with the opposite star gate. The subspace corridors of the two are coupled together, incorporating the Leon Star Gate into the Galactic Highway.
The constantly shaking blue water curtain burst out with a dazzling light, and after the light flashed, the water curtain calmed down.
The local channel was dead silent.
"Network connection successful."
Nolan, the commander-in-chief of this operation, was the first to break the silence. As soon as he finished speaking, countless cheers and shouts of joy filled the area, everyone congratulating each other on this great victory.
After a brief cheer, the Leon Star Gate Control Room launched a handshake agreement through the tachyon number opposite side.
The interconnection of star gates is divided into two steps: software and hardware.
The subspace corridors of both sides are aligned and coupled together, as if the two servers are connected by an optical fiber, which is a hardware link.
The handshake protocol is a software link. The initiator maintains long-term consistency with the target network by sending a data packet containing subspace navigation parameters and tachyon signal exchange protocol, just like dial-up Internet access.
Only after all the hardware and software are connected can the network be officially activated. Depending on the distance between the two stargates' coordinates in the subspace, it often takes some time for the two to align and shake hands. For the Leo Stargate, this time will not exceed 12 hours.
Since the Stargate's construction, the hardware had been successfully connected and the software had never failed, so everyone present relaxed. Some carbon-based creatures had already put aside their work and began preparing for the celebration party.
Even the border guards began to collect their construction units. Once the results here were confirmed, they would take most of the construction units back to their own galaxies, leaving only a small number of them to carry out daily maintenance work.
But 12 hours passed and there was still no response from the other side.
Commander Nolan believed a network failure had occurred, a fact not uncommon before. After checking the local communication module and confirming it was working correctly, he ordered the control room to send the handshake protocol a second time.
Another 12 hours passed, and the signal sent was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response received from the other side.
Some cautious people had already adjusted their mood from the state of celebration and began to check every step, trying to find out why they didn't receive a reply. But after a thorough check, all the equipment was normal.
"Is there a problem on the other side?" Nolan looked at the report in front of him and said thoughtfully.
But he knew that this was almost impossible. The Leon Star Gate was connected to the entire galactic network. When a call was initiated, all networked star gates would respond. Even if some of them failed, it would not affect the transmission of the remaining information.
Unless there is a problem with the communication bridge from the beginning.
But the hardware bridge remains unobstructed, and all data indicate that the subspace corridor is connected.
Just when Nolan was puzzled, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person calling him was an engineer apprentice. The other person walked towards him quickly, holding a stack of printed A4 paper in his hand.
"Look... these... these data." He seemed very nervous and spoke haltingly.
"Hey! You damned brat!" Chief Engineer Chang Renfei yelled, squirming and chasing after him with a look of displeasure on his face. He extended a tentacle and deftly snatched the papers from the apprentice's hand, flipping the stack upside down and slamming it onto the table.
Lao Chang's body resembled a giant slime, 1.8 meters tall. His upper body was humanoid, while his lower body squirmed along the ground. When he got angry, a slew of messy tentacles would extend from his collar, sometimes dripping with a mysterious white fluid, making him look quite unsightly.
The paper hit the table with a loud bang, and everyone around was startled.
"I've already told you about the data error. What's wrong with you? Are you so itchy that you don't even believe what the master says?"
"Old Chang! Calm down, let's talk it over." Nolan quickly tried to smooth things over. He and Chang Renfei had worked together in the 12th Squadron for decades, and he knew that although Chang Renfei had a bad temper, he was definitely not the type to lose his temper easily.
"Quickly put those tentacles away, the floor is dirty, you have to mop it for me later.
After barely suppressing Lao Chang's anger and pressing all the tentacles that grew randomly due to his anger back into his body that looked like red slime, Nolan looked at the young apprentice and asked.
"May I have your name?"
