Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 215 A Groundbreaking Vision
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I have been thinking about these issues for a long time and have some initial thoughts. I would like to ask you all for your help in considering them."

The array masters perked up and asked, "What brilliant plan does the guild leader have?"

Zhou Qing said: "The root cause of all these problems with long-distance communication systems is that the relay stations are all on the ground."

"Because it is on the ground, the relay route often cannot take the shortest route, but must be winding and circuitous to bypass dangerous places and hostile sects."

"Also because it's on the ground, communication will be interfered with when there are cultivators fighting nearby."

"But what if we place the relay station in mid-air?"

“The aerial environment in the cultivation world is generally similar. The distance of one thousand feet above the ground is relatively stable, but cultivators often fly in it, making it unsuitable for building our relay station.”

"Within a range of 1,000 to 1,500 zhang, the air environment is harsh, with frequent thunderstorms that severely interfere with signals, making it unsuitable for building a relay station."

“But the environment is stable above 1,500 feet, and few cultivators would voluntarily cross the thunderstorm layer to reach such a high place. That is a good place for us to build a relay station.”

"Why don't we build the relay station in the lightly cleared layer?"

In the cultivation world, the sky realm is roughly divided into the near-ground layer, the thunderstorm layer, and the uppermost light and clear layer.

Zhou Qing's idea was indeed unexpected by everyone.

In the past, no one had ever thought of building a long-distance communication system in the air.

It's not just that people lack imagination, but that this method has many serious drawbacks.

Chang Xin said, "This method is good, but there are a few problems that need to be solved."

"please say."

Zhou Qing said.

Chang Xin said, "By building the relay station in the thunderstorm layer, we can't set up defenses against it, which makes our relay station very easy to be destroyed."

"Moreover, building such a massive array in the air consumes spiritual energy every day, which is also a huge expense."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I've already thought of that."

"So to realize this idea, we still need to make a few breakthroughs, which is why I have gathered you all here."

"The first breakthrough was in miniaturizing long-distance communication systems."

“Modern long-distance communication arrays are all very large, requiring a tall building to support them, so they cannot be easily suspended in the air. However, if we can miniaturize them and shrink them to the size of a room, the energy required to suspend them in the air will be much less.”

"At that time, we will only need to add a spiritual energy gathering array to it, which will be enough to support it, without consuming any additional spirit stones."

Formations that gather spiritual energy are quite common in the cultivation world, but their effects are not particularly powerful.

The flying boats used by the Qingyun Sect to transport its disciples have such formations.

If the purpose is simply to levitate the flying boat rather than to achieve high-speed travel, an array that gathers spiritual energy is sufficient, without the need to spend additional spirit stones.

Such an array is difficult to support a long-distance communication system that is often the size of a multi-story building, but if the system can be reduced to the size of a room, it will be sufficient.

After whispering and discussing among themselves, the array masters all felt that, technically speaking, Zhou Qing's idea was possible, and their hearts were immediately filled with excitement.

Seeing that everyone was persuaded by him, Zhou Qing smiled and said, "As for the second question, it's even easier to solve."

“Once we can miniaturize the relay stations, we can mass-produce them, and if any one is damaged, we can easily replace it.” “In addition, we can carefully design the relay lines so that there are at least three lines for signal transmission between any two points, and the damage to any one or even two of these lines will not affect the signal transmission.”

"In this way, unless our enemies are fully aware of this new long-distance communication system we have built, they will not be able to easily disrupt the communication."

All the array masters listened attentively to Zhou Qing's explanation, nodding in agreement from time to time.

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, they pondered for a while and were surprised to find that Zhou Qing's move had indeed solved a long-standing problem in the field of long-distance communication.

Chang Xin was overjoyed and said, "Once the chairman's vision is realized, distance will no longer be a problem, and our families will truly become an unbreakable whole!"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If you all find this meaningless, let's start working on solving this problem from today."

"My first step is for everyone to share their remote communication systems for others to learn from. Then, by pooling our resources, we can streamline these systems, eliminating unnecessary features and making them more compact, thus preparing them for miniaturization."

Everyone said, "That's only right."

Zhou Qing added, "There is one more thing."

"When the Seven Emotions Sect attacked the Longevity Sect, it used two formations: the Ten Directions Illusion Formation and the Thunderstorm Formation."

"The former can generate an illusion array that covers dozens of miles. This illusion array has the ability to affect people's senses and can produce an extremely realistic feeling, making people in the array mistake the illusion for reality and making it difficult for them to escape from the array."

"The latter can generate thunderstorm clouds, covering a large area and interfering with communication within that area."

“Before you all arrived, I went to examine these formations. Both of these formations were recorded in a way that prevents unauthorized recording, so I cannot see their runes and structure.”

“But I can analyze the frequency of their spiritual energy fluctuations. Some of these frequencies are in our Qingyun Sect’s rune library, but most of them are nowhere to be found.”

"I think you can find quite a few there too."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone can help me to restore the runes and structure of these two formations. Once successful, these two formations will be open to everyone."

Everyone exclaimed with delight, "We are deeply honored!"

Just by listening to Zhou Qing's explanation, they could appreciate the power of these two formations.

If they can successfully crack the code, it will undoubtedly elevate the defensive capabilities of the Eight Sects Alliance to a whole new level.

After making the arrangements, the array mages began their work that very day.

The workplace was the Array Court of the Longevity Sect.

The Longevity Sect's Array Court will provide its best research room for all array masters to carry out their work.

Every day, the top array masters from the eight sects gather together, each bringing out their sect's long-distance communication system so that everyone can learn from it and optimize the structure of the long-distance communication system.

Once the overall structure is determined, the array masters still need to meticulously examine the details to ensure that the new long-distance communication system is as streamlined as possible.

These tasks are all extremely tedious and time-consuming.

Zhou Qing single-handedly took on nearly a third of the workload, giving the other array masters a glimpse of genius.

Seeing Zhou Qing effortlessly find the most reasonable structure among the runes as if divinely aided, all the array masters were shocked and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
