With his own Super-Thunder Wave station built, Shen Cong turned quickly to the question of how to put one up at the Eastern Theater Command.

The Command had enough super iron people, in fact; it could perfectly well run a station worked by three of them together. The catch was that all three had to be on hand at all times, or nothing could be sent or received. That was easy enough to solve — agree on a window of time and open the channel then.

"Still a nuisance. If I need to get through in a hurry, it'll hold things up. And three super iron people working together still have a hard time receiving a Super-Thunder Wave. Chances are the content won't come through cleanly."

There was another thing on his mind. Building the station wasn't only about turning the Eastern Theater Command into an information-collection point; every other survivor organization he ran into later would be folded in the same way.

And if one of those organizations didn't have three super iron people to spare, then no station could be built at all.

So sooner or later the difficulty of putting up a station had to be solved once and for all.

For that, Shen Cong thought of the Mushroom-Bug Sword.

The reason the sword's four natural carrier vehicles could fire an Activity light-wave was that he had built them a spore bank. The spore bank entangled with the carrier vehicles' Activity waves, so that they mimicked the wave on their own.

Could I build a spore bank for the electric-cicada wave, or the sky-thunder wave? Even for the Superbrain wave? Shen Cong turned it over. In theory a Superbrain wave bank is the easiest of them to build, since there's a sample to work from — fire-spirit medium. Entangle it, reinforce it, and it could receive the wave on its own.

There were all sorts of ways to interfere with a natural carrier vehicle's Activity wave. Building a fire-spirit medium bank that could send and receive the Superbrain wave wouldn't be hard.

The sky-thunder wave's bank was…
