Inside the reception hall.

Upon hearing Yang Bolin's words,

Ma Ning's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat:

The main event is here.

Although the rabbits had reached a preliminary trade agreement with the Yang Family before,

the word "preliminary" is enough to explain everything.

In this day and age, anything can happen before a deal is fully settled.

For example, that Premier League team struggling to avoid relegation scored negative nine goals in three matches.

Back then, Higuain was already in the medical room, just waiting for the final announcement.

But two hours later, the Little Gun appeared in Italy and signed with Naples.

To put it bluntly,

if Yang Bolin were in a bad mood due to hemorrhoids and canceled the deal—no matter what repercussions such an event might have, the Floating Array Technique would certainly not be available in the short term.

Therefore, Ma Ning approached the deal with caution, fearing any unexpected events.

He carefully took out two Spatial Bags from his person and placed them on the table:

"Shopkeeper Yang, Patriarch Yang.

These two Spatial Bags contain the core array of our ancestral communication magical artifact.

By the way,

I once mentioned to Shopkeeper Yang,

this array is rather large and requires a spacious and secure area for placement.

I wonder, Shopkeeper Yang....."

Upon hearing this, Yang Bolin immediately responded:

"The venue is ready, located in the family ground not far from the side of the reception hall."

He then quickly glanced at the leftovers on the table and tentatively asked:

"If Shopkeeper Ma doesn't feel tired, how about we proceed with the delivery now?

By the way, the other items for our trade are also ready and can be handed over to you at any time."

Ma Ning's expression did not change, but he cursed the old fox in his heart.

He certainly wouldn't believe the latter part of Yang Bolin's statement.

Before verifying the effectiveness of the communication equipment, the other party would certainly not be willing to hand over the array to him.

Additionally, Ma Ning was not foolish enough to ask for the reward first; such behavior would be akin to flipping the table.

Yang Bolin's approach was simply taking advantage of the fact that you wouldn't open your mouth, gaining both face and content while giving an impression of openness.

His level was far beyond that of Tang Si, who he had encountered before.

Although the latter part of Yang Bolin's words couldn't be trusted, the former suggestion was highly valuable, striking Ma Ning's heart perfectly.

So he took the opportunity to agree to Yang Bolin's proposal:

"The host invites, how dare I refuse? Please, Shopkeeper Yang, lead the way."

Subsequently, the entourage grandly passed through the courtyard, with Yang Bolin introducing along the way.

Finally, they arrived at an extremely open area.

This area was about 200 meters by 200 meters, surrounded by a few warehouse-like buildings, with no high-rises.

It appeared to be a reasonably significant storage area with prime real estate.

Upon reaching the center of the venue,

Ma Ning handed the two Spatial Bags to Wei Qiangsheng, who used his spiritual mind to take out dozens of wooden containers.

Then he looked at a middle-aged man by his side and spoke in Huaxia language:

"Engineer Huang, please proceed according to plan."

The middle-aged man's expression turned serious, and he touched the calluses on his hand as he said:

"Understood!"

This middle-aged man named Engineer Huang was called Huang Jiaqi, aged forty-five.

He hailed from a major Celestial Eye project center in Qian Nan, and was one of the participants in the Tianqin Plan.

He was also the chief engineer responsible for the antenna array installation this time.

As previously mentioned,

The antenna array that the rabbits and the Yang Family had agreed upon had an effective range of 750 kilometers, whereas the transmission range of existing antenna arrays typically exceeded 6,000 kilometers.

The 2,500-kilometer antenna array found by the rabbits in Jiaozhou was considered a small scale, let alone the "mini" 750-kilometer model.

So this time, the rabbits had to rummage through the wartime storage to find the previous generation inventory, eventually settling on this old relic with an 830-kilometer transmission range.

Considering that the Damo Realm had no radio interference,

this equipment could potentially reach a limit distance of 900 kilometers in the Damo Realm.

Once again, it earned profits for Ziqiong City, darn it.

Previously, a well-known classmate had posed a question about the inability of the antenna array's power to transmit video.

This brings up a particular issue:

Strictly speaking,

antenna array, array antenna, array of antennas, and antennas in array are four different concepts.

Confused yet?

Good, it's meant to be brain-teasing.

Although currently, most of the time, the above four terms refer to the same thing,

even many radio professionals can't differentiate these concepts.

But in specific circumstances,

these concepts have slight distinctions.

Among them, an antenna array belongs to the quasi-Celestial Eye level large equipment, often directly called Celestial Eye by the media.

Our well-known classmate's calculation referred to an antenna array.

A large-scale antenna array is a natural extension of MIMO technology, improving transmission efficiency by increasing the original number of transmitting antennas by an order of magnitude—such as 64 and 128.

An antenna array is somewhat more sophisticated.

It is a non-clustered large device, involving Hertz vectors.

This equipment can easily handle longwave bandwidth transmission, with many transoceanic communications relying on longwave.

The E765 unit previously transported by the rabbits from Jiaozhou was a typical example.

If you're puzzled about why this unit was in Jiaozhou, think about what transoceanic fishing ship centers Jiaozhou has.

The old model discovered this time by the rabbits is classified, so we'll skip that; anyway, it's a rhombic antenna.

The basic structure of this antenna comprises two identical half-wave dipoles placed perpendicularly to each other and fed with the same phase.

This is the type of array closest to the array concept:

By stacking multiple rhombic antennas along the vertical axis, gain can be increased, and this structure is called a stack array.

The rhombic antenna operates in normal and axial modes, with different polarization methods under each mode.

In normal mode,

the antenna radiates horizontally polarized waves, perpendicular to the antenna axis.

In axial mode,

it radiates a circularly polarized wave surrounding the antenna axis.

This mode amounts to technology from one or two generations ago; currently, most antenna technologies use active types like logarithmic-periodic or end-fire.

Although this technology is relatively old, it remains robust.

Even if its transmission range reached 900 kilometers, it still couldn't match modern antennas that easily reach five to six thousand kilometers.

But within its transmission range, it's as stable as a defense tower.

Clearly, Ziqiong City is a long-term meal ticket... cough cough, a long-term cooperation partner.

Thus, the rabbits really had no intention of tricking Yang Bolin and the others in this regard.

This has always been the rabbits' consistent style: they might earn plenty, but you definitely won't lose out.

Just as previously mentioned,

the Floating Array Technique certainly has high value, but the value of communication technology for Ziqiong City is countless times higher.

Even if the rabbits eventually developed interstellar travel technology through studying the array, Yang Bolin and his group would suffer no loss.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this trade is a triple win:

The rabbits win twice, and Ziqiong City wins once.

Returning our gaze to the original location:

This generation's antenna array from the Qian Nan storage depot, while not matching many modern successors in sophistication, was quite sizable, occupying over ten thousand square meters of area.

Otherwise, the command wouldn't have dispatched nearly a hundred technical personnel to assemble it.

Thus, considering that assembly might take two to three Damo Days,

Huang Jiaqi and the others first assembled a small base station with a communication range of thirty kilometers for the Purple Treasure Pavilion's people to get accustomed to operating.

Meanwhile, Ma Ning approached Yang Bolin and took out that expired Golden Core of Mo Peidong from his pocket...
