After hearing the news, Nolan was also badly startled. She had never expected that, after arriving here, Zom would somehow receive such a large batch of signals from deep space. As for Hao Ren's guesses and associations, ship girl remained reserved, but she also felt that this was no mere coincidence.
Maybe it really had something to do with that supergiant antenna in orbit...
Thus, the Remote Thought Array, which had only just quieted down, instantly became lively again. Various colossal facilities emitted deep humming sounds as their energy flows switched over, while swarms of Autonomous Mechanical Units and engineering drones flew out of their hangars and began physically connecting the Remote Thought Array to the crystal resonance antenna. The outpost itself was affected as well: lights in some areas were temporarily shut off, and the base's broadcast announced that energy restrictions were in effect and certain areas had been temporarily sealed off.
This was because every facility here had been built temporarily. On top of that, they had never designed a base like this before, so many things had only been made to meet the requirements of normal operation. When faced with unexpected circumstances, they were inevitably somewhat inconvenient. No one had ever considered that Zom's Remote Thought Array would need to be connected to the huge antenna used for searching for signals. Thus, when the two systems were connected, one of their energy modules had to be temporarily shut down, and part of the outpost's reactor output had to be diverted into the Remote Thought Array.
Fortunately, this emergency procedure did not take long. Once the two systems had been physically connected, the energy-control computer rapidly calculated the system-coupling requirements and reset the operating parameters of the two energy modules. The outpost's energy restrictions ended in less than
