A sky base station? An artificial satellite!

Li Boyang knew long ago that Wu Zhen was conducting various experiments on "single-unit aircraft".

The glider launched now can at best be considered a byproduct of the "monoplane" project.

In Li Boyang's view, if it weren't for the need to quickly recoup funds, Wu Zhen might not have even put the extra energy into mass-producing hang gliders.

For the same reason, Wu Zhen agreed to Li Jingshu's "Sky Base Station" project.

Here's something I have to mention.

Although this world possesses the primordial Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the most fundamental physical laws have not changed much.

Therefore, the [Voice Transmission Talisman], which is manufactured based on the principles of radio broadcasting, naturally also follows the basic rules of electromagnetic wave signal transmission.

Once the predetermined distance is exceeded, the signal of the [Voice Transmission Talisman] will weaken until it disappears completely.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One method involves amplifying the signal of the [Voice Transmission Talisman] and adding a specific receiving antenna.

However, doing so would require additional external devices and would also increase the capacity and size of the [Voice Transmission Talisman], which does not conform to the characteristics of portability.

At least with the availability of rune newspapers, the biggest advantage of [Voice Transmission Talisman] is their portability and encrypted communication.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Li Jingshu proposed the signal relay method.

This means that a fixed base station is used to specifically receive and forward the signal of the [Voice Transmission Talisman], thereby increasing its communication range.

Furthermore, thanks to the fixed base stations, [Voice Transmission Talisman] is also able to achieve one-to-many encrypted communication, rather than the previous simple one-to-one communication mode.

However, this raises a new problem.

Given the current level of productivity and technology in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, it is simply impossible for them to build and maintain signal base stations on a large scale like in the 21st century.

Considering the problems of radio signal blockage and attenuation.

Even if a signal base station were built in every village, it would still be impossible to achieve barrier-free communication within the Hundred Lands Mountain Range area.

Just then, Li Jingshu noticed the "steam-powered flying machine" of Flying Sky Stockade.

--If ground-based base stations don't work, why not build them in the sky?

Placing signal base stations in the sky not only effectively avoids the problems of radio signal blockage and attenuation, but also eliminates concerns about intentional damage to certain mountain or water deities.

Aside from being more troublesome to maintain, Sky Base Station have far more advantages than ground-based base stations.

Thus, the two parties quickly reached an agreement, leading to the "Sky Base Station" project.

"Is that the Sky Base Station?"

Standing on the vast flat ground of Flying Sky Stockade, Li Jingshu gazed thoughtfully at the enormous sphere in front of her.

The sphere covers an area of nearly 100 square meters.

One can vaguely discern its intricate steel frame structure and various complex electromagnetic components.

However, apart from that, the exterior of this giant sphere is not made of steel or alloy, but rather a distinctly biological material.

Those white biological materials resembled plants, yet also flesh and blood.

They enveloped the entire sphere in a chilling way.

Occasionally, nerve twitching similar to spasms can also be observed.

This means that this biomaterial does not just look like a lump of flesh and blood; it must contain a complete nervous system and biological tissues.

"What? You don't like this look?"

Walking slowly to Li Jingshu's side, Wu Zhen gazed at the Sky Base Station with a bright smile.

"No, I just think this thing looks a bit like a giant eyeball..."

"To adapt to the cold air currents and low-oxygen environment in near-Earth orbit, biological structures were used instead of the originally planned bronze material?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that such a far-fetched idea could actually be realized."

Hearing Li Jingshu say that, Wu Zhen's smile became even brighter.

"I never imagined base stations could be used like this."

"The interior is a steel skeleton, the exterior is a biological structure..."

"If this thing weren't devoid of self-awareness, I'd doubt if it had come to life."

Wu Zhen paused slightly at this point.

"However, it perfectly meets all your requirements. As long as there are enough of these Sky Base Station, your Voice Transmission Talisman signal can cover the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"When necessary, the Sky Base Station can even be connected to external weapons, giving it a certain degree of self-protection capability."

Undeterred by Wu Zhen's empty promises, Li Jingshu suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked.

"This level of biotechnology is probably not your area of expertise, is it?"

While Wu Zhen was indeed Rebels to Xingtian City, he also single-handedly developed a divine artifact called the [Ten White Bone Rings].

However, biotechnology involving cells and even gene structure is clearly something that Wu Zhen alone could not possibly research and understand.

Especially after arriving at the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Wu Zhen devoted most of his energy to the Yin-Yang Maxims and "Mechanical Dynamics" given to him by Li Boyang, and had no time to delve into biology and cell biology.

"Don't look at me like that. We've been working together for so many years, don't we even have this much trust?"

Noticing Li Jingshu's suspicious gaze, Wu Zhen spread her hands in explanation.

"To maintain the confidentiality of the technology, I really didn't involve Witch Mountain this time."

"Besides, since the Celestial Person reshaped the world, countless people from the Great Xia have slipped into these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, so there's no need for me to secretly spread the Way of the Celestial Person anymore."

"Believe it or not, if you walk around any village on the outskirts right now, at least seven out of ten outsiders will be from Great Xia."

"With the monthly Celestial Person sermons in Yunmeng Marsh, who would bother asking me for secondhand information?"

What Wu Zhen said was true, and it also reflects a common phenomenon in recent years.

After Li Boyang intentionally or unintentionally relaxed his control over Yunmeng Marsh.

Whenever a sermon is given, foreign gods and spirits would secretly slip into Yunmeng Marsh to listen to it.

As for the ghosts and Ghost God originally trapped in Yunmeng Marsh?

After so many years of education, most of them have regained their freedom.

Some even chose to stay in Yunmeng Marsh, becoming Yunmeng Marsh guardians and wholeheartedly maintaining Yunmeng Marsh order.

"If it's not one of the great shamans of Witch Mountain, then who is involved this time?"

Whether she believed it or not, Li Jingshu kept pressing for answers.

"Uh, okay!"

"This time it's not that I didn't keep it a secret; it's that you've been asking me about it."

After muttering something under his breath, Wu Zhen straightforwardly revealed the origin of this technology.

"It's Snake Bone, or you could call it Lingguzi..."

"After learning about the situation here, he offered to help me solve the problems of cold air currents and low oxygen levels in low-altitude orbit."
