Lighthouse


 * “The lighthouse is the centre of all your battles. All information is gathered and all commands are given from here."


 * -Lero-Ro to his Light Bearer trainees

A Lighthouse is a cube used for gathering information and emitting light. It also has wireless networking features which allows it to connect with other devices like another Lighthouse, an Observer and so on. When it has been "disconnected" or split up, it forms a network of cubes.

There are different types and grades of Lighthouses. The Opera has a very high grade and the God's Eye likely has the highest grade.

Note: The Light Bearer position actually has 2 roles. The first is to bear Lights(Light Bearer) which gather information for the central unit and the second is to maintain and defend a Lighthouse(Lighthouse Keeper).

Introduction
A Lighthouse is called a Light(Ch 40) and it comes in different colours. Each cube is made of low purity Suspendium so it can't float on its own(Ch 40). It can turn translucent but the reason for this unknown.

It seems the Lighthouse itself can be "disconnected" or separated into many components like more cubes, screens, keyboard, etc. This is because even Prince's lighthouse had nothing except for the remote stored in it. So this means the Lighthouse doesn't store them but rather, the components are "connected" together.

Some or all of these cubes also capable of "disconnecting" or splitting into more cubes which are of different sizes. Such cubes can even expand into the size of a room or larger. The cubes can also be merged or "connected" by moving them physically.

Each cube is capable of gathering, recording and analysing information, which is transmitted to the "main cube" and possibly, other cubes.

Like Armour Inventory, Arms Inventory, Pockets and so on, it has "visible" and "invisible" modes.

It can also be used as a storage container(unknown if it can compress things).

A Lighthouse is used to feed information to Guides, who will then help the Light Bearer find the path.

Central Unit of a Lighthouse network
Any cube can serve as the central unit or main cube of the network. Other cubes can even be set up inside this cube.

As the central unit of the Lighthouse network, it also serves as a battle command centre. The Light Bearer actually sits inside inside the main cube, which has been expanded into the size of a room.

If the main cube is taken over by an enemy, the network will fall apart. So, the Light Bearer must be able to defend the Lighthouse by being well-versed in combat and also know how to block or reverse a hacking attempt. Hachuling hacked into Koon Agero Agnis' Lighthouse so he could take control of it, though that was probably a very advanced form of hacking.

Inside this cube, there are multiple screens, cubes and other components which float in Shinsoo. The Light Bearer uses a keyboard to issue commands and probably, to operate the cubes.

One of these cubes also serves as the main cube inside the central unit.



The cubes all aid in information gathering and most or all of these cubes also have visual displays. One of these cubes is a search cube and when connected to a certain or another cube, it provides a search window. Through this window, one can then access the "Intelligence Network" which contains profiles of many famous individuals and perhaps other types of information as well(Ch 32). The cubes can also record information like the total amount Shinsoo used by a person, during a battle.

The cubes also feed the information into the screens which provide other types of information like live visual feedback, possibly graphs, statistics and so on. The Lighthouse also has a loudspeaker function, which provides audio feedback.

A Lighthouse can be connected with other Lighthouses to form or expand a network of Lighthouses(cubes). Through all the visual input gathered by all these Lighthouses, each Lighthouse Keeper will be able to receive certain amounts of visual-audio and other types of data in areas occupied by Light Bearers or Lighthouse Keepers. When another Lighthouse is connected to a Lighthouse, it will show up as an additional display screen. This allows the Lighthouse Keeper to contact with the other Lighthouse Keeper.

Other Functions
A Lighthouse is also capable of connecting to a Scout's Observer. These Observers will provide it with more detailed visual information which Light Bearers use to analyse and coordinate their team. Some Lighthouses can also be used as an Observer but this reduces its mobility, as well as making it harder to handle.

Also, the Lighthouse has a feature which can adjust and guide the trajectory of the spear, enabling Spear Bearers to throw it tens of kilometers away.

Like some amount of equipment in the Tower, it probably deploys wireless technology to transmit information.
