The Magic Tide Observation Device and the Mind Unity Field System were technological treasures the Noi people had excavated from the legacy left behind by the Forerunners over thousands of years. Yet even technology of this level was only "barely enough" when facing the Magic Tide.
The limited Mind Unity Field could only filter out part of the information from the real universe, while the Magic Tide Observation Device had to provide the entire Protection System with sufficiently precise "sample frequencies" to ensure that the Protective Barrier's frequency remained correctly positioned. The two systems had to work together with absolute precision, and if even the slightest flaw appeared... mortal minds were far too fragile to last until the error could be corrected.
"Speaking of the Noi people... has the sirens' FTL Communication Array upgrade been completed?" Gawain suddenly recalled the matter and casually asked Rebecca beside him.
Due to the hardware limitations of Antavien's FTL Communication Array, communications between the Loren Alliance and the Noi Civilization had remained exceedingly difficult. To solve this problem, the sirens had decided to use a Voyager Energy Crystal to replace key components in the communication system, and the repairs had now been underway for quite some time.
Since the only FTL Communication device was undergoing major repairs, contact between Loren and the Noi people had effectively been cut off.
