It seems that although reporting to the Sea City Guard Team wasn't exactly a secret operation, Qinghe Alliance still didn't want it to become public knowledge.
"Wow, there really is one! Thank you so much, otherwise we don't know when we would have discovered this secret weapon!"
After reading the unread messages, everyone expressed their gratitude to Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming shook his head, not taking credit, "I only discovered it by chance when I tried it. And even if I didn't say anything, you would have remembered it in a couple of days."
Everyone thought about it and realized that when they received the smart bracelet, the guards had mentioned that it had many powerful functions.
People felt that this thing couldn't make phone calls or watch movies, and it was particularly cumbersome to wear on the wrist. Moreover, the GPS tracker inside always made people feel like their privacy was being violated, so gradually, no one wanted to use it anymore.
It's precisely because this thing is so difficult to remove once worn that they would have thrown it away long ago.
Thankfully, the alliance designed a feature that could not be removed without special equipment, otherwise they would all be finished.
The news quickly spread throughout Qingning Mountain, and those who weren't wearing the smart bracelet risked catching the aftershocks to go home and search for it. After this ordeal, they truly witnessed the power of this device.
"Why is it that the phone is unusable, but this smart bracelet is unaffected?" someone asked.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "The cell phone signal may be limited by the cell tower. The earthquake caused the cell tower to collapse, so it is unusable for a short time."
The smart bracelet relies directly on satellite broadcasts, so it's not limited by the surface environment, which is probably why it's so powerful. Of course, these are just my guesses and may not be correct.
In reality, Shen Yanming's guess was pretty accurate, but no one else knew it. However, even under these uncertain circumstances, his statement was still leaked out.
Shen Yanming felt that since he had already said so much, he might as well say a few more words and see it through to the end.
He said, "When we first got this bracelet, my wife and I studied it a bit. There's a function that lets you add contacts."
It doesn't mean that after adding each other, you can chat and send messages. Rather, you can get each other's coordinates. This way, if you get separated in the future, you can roughly know how far away the other person is and in which direction based on both of your coordinates.
Furthermore, the embedded chip can monitor pulse and heartbeat. In other words, in the event of an accident, you can use the smart bracelet to find out if your family members are still alive.
Of course, there are many other functions, such as verifying identity, recording assets, contribution points, and so on.
Back then, I was lazy and didn't explore it further after binding it with my wife. If any of you still have the instruction manual, you can dig deeper; you might find other surprises.
"My God, this is amazing! No wonder the Qinghe Alliance kept promoting the use of the smart bracelet. It's only because we didn't realize its important role that we thought it was useless!"
"Dude, thank you so much. If you hadn't told me so much, I would have really thought it could only tell the time and receive messages."
"Yeah, if you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have known it had so many functions. By the way, buddy, could you teach me how to link it to my parents?"
Shen Yanming still remembered this, so he told them how to do it.
After successfully linking their devices with their parents, wives, daughters, and friends, they spread the word that the "smart bracelet has incredibly powerful functions."
Shen Yanming was pleased with this outcome. He firmly believed that the more people who understood, the more likely one person would survive in times of crisis.
Seeing that everyone was gathered together studying the new feature, Shen Yanming quietly left. This is what is meant by "leaving without a trace after accomplishing the task, concealing one's merits and fame!"
When they got back to their tent, they found that Bi Qiaoan was already awake, but she was lying on the quilt, frowning and seemingly lost in thought.
What could I possibly be thinking? I just found out about that gathering and was wondering what I, a pregnant woman, could do there, and maybe I'd be looked down upon.
Seeing that his wife didn't look well, Shen Yanming went up to her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
With Shen Yanming's help, Bi Qiaoan sat up and explained her concerns. Shen Yanming hadn't thought much of it, but he was determined to bring his wife along no matter what.
Otherwise, who will take care of them if they stay behind?
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Your situation is special, and special cases require special arrangements. I'll report your situation to the authorities, and I'm sure the guard team won't be dissatisfied," Shen Yanming said softly, rubbing Bi Qiaoan's temples.
Then he massaged her shoulders and legs until Bi Qiaoan felt her bones were less stiff, and with Shen Yanming's help, she changed into a clean maternity dress.
After folding the blankets, the two of them didn't leave the tent. They took out sushi rolls and hot milk from their spatial storage and started eating. After finishing, Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan take a walk on Qingning Mountain for a while.
"Aren't you going to report to the guard today?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment, "Go ahead, but we don't need to rush. I estimate that not many people know about this news yet."
"Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that this thing even existed."
Bi Qiaoan's words were indeed true. Although she had emphasized the importance of the bracelet to others when she first received it, the location tracking feature couldn't be activated because she frequently entered the space with Shen Yanming.
Therefore, their wristbands were almost always turned off, except for two times when their personal accounts gained contribution points.
At 8:30, when the sunlight was a little too bright, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan packed their things and prepared to report to the Hai City Guard Team.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yanming's actions of packing his luggage and putting away the tent were too unusual, so someone asked.
"Oh, we wanted to go see some friends and tell them about the smart bracelet," Shen Yanming said casually, making up an excuse as he continued working.
"Then we don't need to pack up the tent, right?"
“I can’t refuse! We have no other relatives, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving my wife here alone, so I have to take her with me wherever I go.”
Moreover, I have several friends, and searching for them all would take an unknown amount of time; who knows, they might not even come back today since they're staying at someone's place.
"Oh, I see. Then be careful on your journey!"
This person did know that quite a few people left this morning; they were all going to talk to their relatives and friends about the smart bracelet.
They all had people left here, so they didn't need to pack their luggage or anything. That's why he was so puzzled when he saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan pack up their tents.
