Inside the command center.
Looking at Zeng Gu Cheng, who was so excited that his face turned red; if he lost thirty pounds and grew twenty centimeters taller, he could play Guan Gong.
Lin Li quickly stretched out his hand, his palm moving up and down a few times to signal him to calm down:
"Old Zeng, although neither I nor my other colleagues are specialized physicists like you,
we might not have a systematic understanding of space teleportation concepts, such as what theoretical or academic mysteries it can solve.
But this doesn't mean we don't understand its importance; I also support the physics team's research into the teleportation gate.
However, the problem is... due to our complete lack of understanding of the Ziqiong City's teleportation array, we are not at all prepared for this.
For example, we haven't brought many precise instruments, and the conditions for testing various coefficients are insufficient.
In such circumstances, is it necessary for us to try the teleportation gate now?"
Faced with Lin Li's query, there was a silence both inside and outside the video conference.
Lin Li's questions were very realistic.
Because with the current technological means of the rabbits, even with all the equipment deployed, it would be very difficult to unravel the mysteries of the teleportation array.
Rather than conducting research, it might be more like experiencing what this thing is, and then seeing if there is a chance to collect a little data.
So Lin Li's underlying attitude was to suggest that everyone should be more rational; the rabbits' gains this time are already big enough, and it's okay to stop while ahead.
After all, Lin Li is now the chief responsible person of the large base, and his attitude towards many matters has gradually started to prioritize stability; aggressively leading is actually not suitable for the Damo Realm's environment.
The meeting fell silent for a moment like this.
Then Ma Ning suddenly raised his hand towards the camera, indicating that he had something to say:
"Captain Lin, I have some thoughts I'd like to discuss."
Lin Li nodded towards him and said:
"What are your thoughts, Professor Ma? Feel free to speak."
Ma Ning pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said:
"Gentlemen, I am a clerk and not very familiar with scientific research, but I think we can and should try this opportunity.
Currently, we have four to five thousand spirit stones left, and if necessary, it's not difficult for Wei Qiangsheng to temporarily transfer three to five thousand spirit stones.
Director Fei Qiu's daily output of spirit stones is about two thousand, and the transferred spirit stones can be fully repaid as soon as they return to Chixian City without any delay.
So from an economic standpoint, I think there's not much issue with the teleportation expenses.
And in terms of timing, doing many things one day earlier is certainly better than one day later; isn't this how our country developed, by seizing every day?
Although our understanding of the teleportation array is currently almost zero, this does not prevent us from taking that first step.
To put it bluntly, we have no substantial loss if we fail.
It's no big deal if we lose some spirit stones; at worst, we'll again exploit the Purple Treasure Pavilion... cough, cough, trade more with Shopkeeper Yang; our 40-Fire and 107-Fire seem quite suitable, don't they?
After all, if we miss this opportunity, we'd have to wait for at least another ten Damo Days, which is seventy Earth days.
So, from an economic and qualitative perspective, I support trying the teleportation array.
As for equipment issues...
Academician Zeng, could you inquire about what equipment is needed to study the teleportation array? And how much needs to be carried by the teleportation target?"
After asking the question, Ma Ning waited for Zeng Gu Cheng's response.
As one of the core pieces of equipment in Ziqiong City, allowing the rabbits discounted teleportation is already quite a favor.
As for letting you fiddle with research by setting up lines and platforms on it?
This is absolutely impossible.
Just like a new driver getting a car, you might as well scratch the car, but wanting to personally handle it or even take apart its engine?
Heh heh...
So, if the rabbits want to gather information on the teleportation array, they must do it quietly.
Therefore, the personnel going through teleportation certainly can't carry very large or heavy objects.
A small box is fine, but if you bring a few hundred meters of fiber optic cable, others aren't fools.
This is also the reason why Ma Ning asked that question:
If the testing personnel must carry a large amount of equipment, the idea of experiencing the teleportation array can be directly abandoned.
Facing Ma Ning's question.
Zeng Gu Cheng pondered for a while, seemingly calculating what is needed, and then slowly said:
"Positioning equipment and gravity, pressure detection equipment are definitely needed—these devices are carried by the trade group, but they are used for detecting flying ships and are far from precise enough.
Additionally, we also need quantum entanglement sources... hmm, single-photon detectors too... and then there's Bell-state measurement interference rings, etc...
The entire set of equipment is about twenty to thirty cubic meters, and the testing personnel can wear some equipment internally, at most making them look a bit bulky."
Knowing that the basic conditions for measuring the teleportation array were met, Ma Ning nodded and then suggested:
"If that's the case... can we try to use manual means to transport the equipment over?"
When Ma Ning spoke, several voices of 'Hmm?' simultaneously rang out in the command center.
The direct distance between Ziqiong City and Chixian City is about twenty-four hundred li, or roughly twelve hundred kilometers.
The air travel distance is naturally the same as the direct distance, while the vehicle travel distance is approximately 1600 kilometers.
According to Yang Bolin, the teleportation array will open once in three days.
The maximum flight range of the WZ-10 helicopters in the camp is 700 kilometers, and as for the AC311A, it's even shorter; going beyond this limit would require refueling.
In fact, it's not just the helicopters in the camp.
Currently, besides a few mysterious modified helicopters in the southern and western regions, other helicopters in the country cannot achieve a round-trip range of 2400 kilometers.
Presently, the Z-9 helicopter has the longest flight distance, with an enhanced maximum range of up to 1000 kilometers, which is far from enough for a round trip.
The Mi-6, equipped with additional fuel tanks, can reach 1450 kilometers—but the specifications of the Mi-6 are such that it cannot pass through the light gate, being over 40 meters in length, 9.86 meters in height, with a short wingspan of 15.30 meters.
Refueling a helicopter is not as simple as filling a plastic bucket; not to mention each refuel requires at least a six-member team to perform inspections for over 30 minutes.
Therefore, at least in the short term, the rabbits' helicopters are unable to cover the airspace reaching Ziqiong City.
This is precisely why only a ground convoy can accomplish the task Ma Ning mentioned.
Eighteen hundred kilometers in three days, while considering road conditions and potential threats from monsters along the way.
This is actually a very challenging task.
Thinking of this.
Even the consistently resolute Zeng Gu Cheng fell silent.
If this mission only required him to set off alone, he would have taken up his luggage and left immediately.
But since it involved the soldiers taking risks, he could no longer be so frivolous.
However, as Ma Ning said, if the rabbits do not seize this opportunity, the next one would be seventy days later.
The rabbits are already striving for even two days of delivery time, so delaying it by seventy days is absolutely unacceptable.
Thinking of this.
Lin Li couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yan Shaohua sitting to his right.
Yan Shaohua immediately understood Lin Li's intention.
His eye contact with the auto company's captain Xu Mo reflected a mutual soldier's understanding, quickly grasping each other's thoughts.
Yan Shaohua immediately stood up and said in a loud and powerful voice:
"Captain Lin, let me take on this mission. I'll personally lead the team and ensure the equipment is delivered to the trade group on time!"
Lin Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Captain Yan, covering a distance of over eighteen hundred kilometers in three days, and tanks are absolutely out of the question to reach there, at best you'll be assigned armored vehicles for the journey.
In view of efficiency, this transport will certainly focus on squad-level missions.
You should think it through, the dangers along the way are very high."
Yan Shaohua unhesitatingly responded with a hearty smile:
"Captain Lin, if I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have come to the Damo Realm this time."
Lin Li stared at his military emblem for a few seconds, finally taking a deep breath:
"Since that's the case, let's vote. Those who agree to proceed with this teleportation test and dispatch the convoy to transport the equipment, please raise your hand."
Shua——
Yan Shaohua was the first to raise his hand, while Xu Mo, lacking the rank to express an opinion, stepped closer to Yan Shaohua, showing his position through his actions.
Zeng Gu Cheng, seeing this, also slowly raised his hand.
Liu Xiangqian shook his head, not supporting the idea.
A few seconds later.
Hua Jun raised his hand... Ma Ning raised his hand... Lin Ziming raised his hand... Bao Xin opposed... Dai Chaohong opposed.
Shi Zehong sighed: "I abstain."
Lin Li glanced around, and also slowly raised his hand.
Six votes in favor, one abstention, three against.
The proposal passes!
Currently, with the expansion of the camp, the command center has enough authority to decide on testing the teleportation gate, and only needs to submit for record.
Thus, after compiling relevant matters and reporting back to the base camp, Yan Shaohua and others immediately began preparing for the transport mission.
Two hours later, all debugging was completed.
The transport team consisted of a total of eight armored transport vehicles, manned by seventy-seven personnel, led personally by Yan Shaohua, with Captain of the auto company Xu Mo assisting.
In addition.
Zeng Gu Cheng also brought with him his disciple Zhuo Yuanxin along with all the personnel from the physics group onto this transport convoy.
