Before the fleet scanned that Abyss Gate, we contacted the ancestors on the other shore first.
Communication between This Shore and the other shore had become much more convenient. The Star Ring Federation had spared no expense in deploying several high-power relay stations across the Abyss Critical Layer, and after the ancestors arrived on the other shore with Empire equipment, the Star Ring Federation improved its communication systems to better accommodate our equipment. Communication between the two shores had gradually progressed from only being able to intermittently send text, to transmitting larger data packets, and now to almost real-time communication. It had advanced by several huge steps. However, certain issues limited by the structure of the Void still could not be resolved, such as the communication delay between the two shores—no matter how much we pushed the decoding equipment's processing speed and signal compatibility to their limits, the delay remained. It was determined by that peculiar Void structure. Still, the situation had improved somewhat. After employing every available technology, the delay between the two shores had been reduced to a tolerable level. Simple conversations were no longer a problem.
