Qiao Wen wrote three headings on the workshop board: anchor furnace, relay pylon, local barrier. Deyan copied them onto the prototype plan.
“The anchor furnace distributes energy,” Qiao said. “The pylon sends readings. The barrier protects its own village and can be isolated.”
Deyan asked whether a disabled local barrier would leave neighboring sites exposed. Gu showed the bypass line, which kept the other channels separate. The drawing still needed a manual release within reach of the local keepers.
Qinghe marked the handle beside the barrier wall. It could not depend on a Registry command seal or an attuned projection. Yan tested the lever without power. It moved cleanly.
“Keep physical access to it after installation,” he told the keepers. “If the signal fails, you still need the lever.”
A reserve coil appeared on the design for stations that might need to hold current briefly while an anchor was inspected. Qiao marked it as a later component, not part of the initial test.
“We don’t know its duration,” he said. “That will depend on how many coils connect and at what load.”
The team would not claim a full storm duration from a drawing alone. The coil remained a design, not an operating backup.
