That's right!
The ultimate goal of all the rabbits' schemes this time is actually only one:
The floating array of any one of the three Flying Ships in Ziqiong City, which is the core control array!
Zeng Gu Cheng and the others have already confirmed before that the Flying Ships in Ziqiong City use standard anti-gravity technology.
Perhaps even the Nascent Soul Ancestor who crafted the Flying Ships in Ziqiong City doesn't know what principles are used to make the Flying Ships float anti-gravitationally.
But the scientific approach to the unknown is that its existence is reasonable; if such a floating array appears in the Damo Realm, it must have some 'fundamental theorem' that complies with the cosmic rules.
This was mentioned before.
Neutralizing gravity is actually a very simple matter.
For example, when you stand up, you neutralize gravity; gravity is the weakest interaction force.
But anti-gravity refers to using exotic materials to shield gravity, which is a completely different concept.
Currently, the relatively marketable local anti-gravity aircraft is the TR3B, rumored to be a black technology product from across the sea.
This thing has been hyped since the 1990s, roughly the same as overthrowing relativity as a symbol of pop science enthusiasts.
But in reality,
There is a high probability that the TR3B aircraft indeed exists, but it does not use anti-gravity technology—having mastered the theory and application of anti-gravity means mastering the unified field theory.
Using this theory to build aircraft might barely make sense, but building it for 20 to 30 years is just treating people like fools.
Not to mention that its model doesn't follow any rules:
The TR designation initially didn't even reach 2, and it wasn't until 2015 that they planned to develop the TR1's successor.
Of course, we cannot simply deny the emergence of new technology.
The TR3B or the exposed triangular aircraft, judging by its appearance, is most likely based on other classified new technologies.
The currently more accepted view is that it employs an ion lifter principle—although this principle is not very reliable, since the pitiful counter-thrust of ion wind cannot control flow separation of tens of meters per second.
But at least this principle doesn't have any theoretical barriers.
Just like the current online literature market.
The current record for initial subscriptions on the entire internet is over 72,000; if the website manager predicts that a new record-breaking work with 150,000 initial subscriptions will appear within a year, although it's not easy, there is at least a basic flow of users.
But if he claims to release a book with 1 million initial subscriptions within three months, he'd become a meme classic on Bilibili by the next day.
Speaking of TR3B, here's another interesting story:
In the early years of developing stealth fighters, our researchers couldn't find stealth coatings that were sufficiently heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
At first, we always thought the hawks had some super black technology material that wouldn't peel off; it turns out they just had a wealth of money, repainting after every few flights.....
Of course.
Teasing aside, it still deserves our attention.
After all, who knows what big thing they're tinkering with over there, and their annual X expenses are not a small figure.
One fact is that what they publicly reveal now are weapons from the last century, and even the F-22 has been discontinued.
Logically, the F-22 is currently the world's strongest fighter jet on the surface, there's no reason to discontinue it.
Saying it was discontinued due to the influence of the show "Military Intelligence" is too arrogant, other reasons are frankly quite tenuous.
Area 51 has been kept secret for so long, no one knows what's being developed there, and whether they've come up with anything new, we don't know either.
So the necessary vigilance must still be maintained.
Back to the topic.
The Damo Realm indeed has methods of telecommunication, but its costs have limited the development of the communications industry—even without talking about methods like carrier pigeons, the field of instant communication is extremely barren.
Thus, the rabbits' communication technology is very marketable, especially for business families like the Yang Family.
For instance, this time when the demon gap urgently needed monster materials, don't assume Ziqiong City had already set up an arrangement before the market opened.
Actually, among commerce associations of the same size, the speed at which Purple Treasure Pavilion received the news wasn't particularly fast, and the ability to arbitrate was purely due to the relatively remote position of the southern region.
It can be said that the only one in the entire Damo Realm capable of low-cost instant communication is this unique entity, the rabbit; even till death, you won't find a second one.
But the floating array is different.
Although such large Flying Ships that can carry thousands of people are extremely rare, there are still quite a few throughout the Damo Realm, even more than the number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage.
For example, the five core cities of the entire southern region together have no less than fifteen super-large Flying Ships.
Even if the price you offer is heart-touching enough, the demon gap's Nascent Soul Realm cultivators might personally craft one for you.
Although these Flying Ships don't have a public price in the Damo Realm, their price is roughly around four to five million Spirit Stones, and whether a single floating array is worth three million Spirit Stones is not certain yet.
After all, the crafting materials for Flying Ships are not cheap either, in some sense they're considered aviation-grade materials.
So...
Yang Bolin couldn't help but be tempted.
After all, without decrypting its principles, the floating array really is just an array to the Purple Treasure Pavilion.
Yeah, just an unproducible array, not a technology—this is the oft-mentioned limitation of civilization.
It's like some technological fragments of a high-level civilization landed on Earth out of nowhere, and a beggar picked one up, assuming its use is to manifest a hamburger out of thin air every day.
At this time, someone approaches him:
"One hundred million for your fragment, want to sell it?"
Although the fragment can fill the beggar's belly, he has no way of deciphering its principles—and the beggar himself won't even think about deciphering its principles.
In this situation, whether the beggar chooses the technological fragment or one hundred million, the answer is obvious.
Therefore, Yang Bolin contemplated for several minutes before finally speaking:
"Shopkeeper Ma, exchanging the floating array technique of the flying ship for the telecommunication array is not impossible.
But the premise is that your array must indeed have this effect.
It's not that this old man doesn't trust your side, but this transaction is truly too unusual..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Ning nodded understandingly.
Putting himself in others' shoes, he would also be quite cautious, so he proposed a plan that had been pre-set by headquarters:
"Shopkeeper Yang, we understand your concerns. How about this:
In the Taihe Building, there is a small basic array, which we can have Shopkeeper Gu bring out for you to try.
This kind of small basic array, in an environment like the Damo Realm, can transmit information over thirty to forty li (distance), and if positioned high, it might even reach sixty li.
If you find it suitable after trying it out, we can first draft a letter of intent.
Then I can personally lead a team to Ziqiong City to connect with you for delivery. How does that sound?"
These stations weren't deliberately set up by the rabbits to target Yang Bolin.
These outdoor high-frequency relay stations were brought by Ye Fangwei and Yu Lian, mainly as backup supplies with no specific purpose.
The fact that they were brought to the Taihe Building was purely due to the rabbits' nature, feeling uncomfortable seeing an empty box (transport compartment) and always wanting to stuff something inside.
Actually, it's not just these stations.
There are some other 'things that we don't know what they are for but seem useful' stored in the Taihe Building, typical late-stage hoarding syndrome.
Now, they happen to serve their purpose.
The transmission distance of ordinary stations is 6-10 kilometers, and the field version mobile stations have higher power and larger antennas.
In the Damo Realm's radio interference-free environment, achieving 20-30 kilometer communication is not difficult.
Regarding Ma Ning's proposal, Yang Bolin readily agreed, as he would certainly inform the Yang family's higher-ups about such a significant trade:
"No problem, no time like the present. The skies are clear today. Why not have Shopkeeper Gu go through the effort, and we try it now?"
Hearing this, Ma Ning glanced at Gu Junming, who nodded firmly:
"I have no issues."
Thus, the intention of both parties to 'test the machine' was reached.
Subsequently, Gu Junming started preparing the station, while Yang Bolin went to report the situation to his brother, Yang Wanli, the current Patriarch of the Yang Family.
Half a day later, the high-frequency station was debugged and ready.
To ensure the accuracy of the experiment, this time Yang Bolin went personally, with Yang Wanli handling the terminal verification in Ziqiong City.
Yang Bolin first used sword control to reach a small hill over thirty li from Ziqiong City and turned on the walkie-talkie following Gu Junming's earlier guidance.
Then he recalled the pronunciation of a certain 'Taoshu Commerce Association code phrase' taught by Gu Junming earlier, and said:
"Onii-chan?"
Soon, a very familiar voice came from the walkie-talkie, it was his elder brother, Yang Wanli:
"It's me, Bolin, have you arrived at the designated location?"
"Correct, I am now at the peak of Yangdan Mountain, over thirty li from Ziqiong City."
Yang Bolin's fingers trembled slightly, fully aware that he was touching something revolutionary!
There was even a fleeting moment when a certain evil thought flashed through his mind.
But he quickly dispelled this thought.
First, he would still need to conduct happy stick and Ma Yinglong trades with the Taoshu Commerce Association in the future.
Second, although the Taoshu Commerce Association follows a non-standard cultivation path, judging from their various actions, their actual combat strength likely isn't low at all.
Behind the Celestial Moon Mountain Range, there are many such tribes. For instance, Yang Bolin once saw a foreign race in the Demon Gateway, which killed a third-tier great demon using just Gu techniques.
The Taoshu Commerce Association daringly placing the telecommunication array on the table, even proposing delivery before payment, indicates they must have some confidence.
Subsequently, Yang Bolin also tested out the video communication and indeed saw the real Yang Wanli, along with the patriarch's great seal that could only be refined by the direct bloodline of the Yang family.
After verifying both the video and voice, Yang Bolin asked Yang Wanli:
"Brother, what do you think?"
Yang Wanli appeared even younger than Yang Bolin, with a dignified and stern appearance, his realm at the First-Layer Core Formation Realm.
Upon hearing Yang Bolin's words, Yang Wanli was silent for a while before he finally spoke:
"...Come back, you can sign the agreement with the Taoshu Commerce Association. I agree to exchange the floating array technique of the flying ship with them."
Meanwhile, within the Fire Camp.
Lin Li snapped his fingers crisply:
"Done!
At this moment, the main console screen in front of him synchronously displayed the audio and video conversation between Yang Bolin and his brother...
What, you ask why the rabbits can listen in on the audio in sync?
Don't ask, it's all about following up on the customer's practical experience in real-time and providing considerate humanistic care to the customer.
Craftsmanship of a great nation, customer first!
Tears came to the eyes!
