"So, the path to breaking the deadlock is clear!" Limeng's voice was decisive as his charcoal swept a powerful horizontal line across the drawing board, completely framing the section representing the physical layer of the original Ley Line. "Step one, completely abandon it! Abandon this physical layer of the original Ley Line, which is neither secure nor severely limited in function! Our Golden Grain Communication Network is a ready-made and optimal substitute!" He rapidly listed its advantages: "Good full-area coverage inside the Serenitea Pot, secure, independent, and controllable, and proven reliable through multiple actual tests! Moreover, we are entirely capable of retrofitting and upgrading it so that it can not only transmit sound, but also carry high-speed, reliable data transmission!" On the side, he quickly sketched a few symbols representing high-speed packet-switched transmission and automatic error retransmission mechanisms.
"Step two, solve the language barrier!" Limeng's pen tip drew a square conversion module between the old terminal application layer and the new Golden Grain Network physical layer. "We need to embed a 'protocol translation module' in the underlying layer of the terminal. Its core mission is to enable those terminal applications that only speak the ancient 'Old Ley Line Language' (the old protocol) to communicate smoothly with the network that speaks our 'New Golden Grain Speech' (the new protocol). It's like a top-tier translator fluent in …
