Chapter 43: There are a thousand old toads, and there are a thousand 59+
After ten o'clock in the evening, Baiyangtong got on BG4MSR.
Three greasy old men crowded over to eavesdrop, making faces and showing expressions that said "you can do it, kid".
Bai Yang was very angry and kicked these three old men out.
"This is Xiao Yang's signal. It's strange... why is it so weak?" Wang Ning pointed at the peak on the spectrum analyzer display and looked up at the ceiling. "Are we under the antenna? What antenna are you using now, Lao Bai?"
"DP antenna." Bai Zhen said, "It's the same one as before."
Wang Ning was amazed. "As expected of you, Old Bai. I admire you for that. You can even set up such a large antenna in the community, and no one has complained about it? Didn't any old men and women come to your door and say that your antenna has radiation that can cause cancer?"
"Yes, they contacted the property management, and the property management came to me," said Bai Zhen.
"how do you say?"
"I said I have all the necessary certificates and licenses, and it is a legal establishment. If you have the guts, go to the Wuwei Committee and find Wang Ning. His address is No. 37, Longpan Middle Road, Xuanwu District. Go in and find the one with the least hair on his head."
"Fuck." said Wang Ning.
The peaks on the spectrum analyzer display rise and fall. When they rise, it means Bai Yang is talking, and when they fall, it means Bai Yang is listening. Icom725 works in half-duplex mode. It cannot transmit and receive at the same time. To an outsider, its user experience is similar to that of a walkie-talkie rather than a mobile phone. When Bai Yang presses the send button on the microphone, he cannot hear what the other party is saying. He can only receive the other party's signal when he releases the send button.
This is why when communicating over the radio, people usually add "OVER" or "finished" at the end of the sentence, just to let the other party know that they have finished speaking and can speak now.
Wang Ning’s idea was very simple. While listening to Bai Yang’s voice in the room, they stared at the waveform on the display of the spectrum analyzer.
"...Yes, we are doing an experiment. Do you know the spectrum analyzer? It is an instrument that can receive and analyze radio waves. It is now placed in my living room." Bai Yang's voice came from the room. "The three of them are detecting signals, hoping to find the cause of all this, but it is still preliminary work. OVER."
As Bai Yang spoke, the peaks on the spectrum analyzer display rose and fell and shook. The SSB mode occupies a very narrow bandwidth, so it is a steep and narrow peak like the trajectory of a mortar.
Bai Zhen, Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen all heard Bai Yang's "OVER".
Okay, now that Bai Yang has finished speaking, it's BG4MSR's turn to speak. If the spectrum analyzer can receive the signal from that girl, a peak will appear at the frequency of 14 MHz...
All three of them widened their eyes.
"Where is Bofeng?" Zhao Bowen asked.
There are only jagged background noise lines on the spectrum analyzer display.
No peaks appeared.
“Xiao Yang——!” Wang Ning shouted at the top of his voice, “Is she talking?”
After waiting for a few seconds in the room, Bai Yang replied: "Yes!"
"Why is there no signal when we're talking? This is really weird." Bai Zhen murmured. Even as an experienced HAM, he had never encountered such a situation before.
"Xiao Yang! Report the RS signal!" Wang Ning shouted again.
"59+!" Bai Yang replied.
"Impossible, the spectrum analyzer can't even receive a 59+ signal?" Zhao Bowen frowned.
"Don't worry, I'll try it myself." Wang Ning stood up and entered Bai Yang's room, "Xiao Yang! Let me take a look!"
As the saying goes, there are a thousand 59+ among a thousand old toads. An unscrupulous toad like Lao Bai will get 59+ as soon as he gets a signal. It is hard to guarantee that Xiao Bai has not inherited his father's habit.
A few minutes later Wang Ning came back. Zhao Bowen and Bai Zhen saw a stunning face under his shiny forehead.
What kind of shock would it take to make Wang Ning's old face look unprecedented?
"Shut your mouth, you bald guy." Bai Zhen said, "What's going on?"
"Old Zhao, if you win the Nobel Prize in Physics, can you put my name on it?" Wang Ning asked.
"Okay, no problem. I'll burn it for you when I win the Nobel Prize." Zhao Bowen nodded. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"The signal of 59+ is completely clear and identifiable. There is no problem." Wang Ning sat down on the chair. "I can't explain it. Lao Bai, you didn't do anything weird, did you? Did you encrypt the signal?"
"I don't have that ability." Bai Zhen said, "I don't have that ability even if I kidnap two or five people."
The living room fell strangely silent. My mother came out of the room and saw three men sitting on the sofa and chairs without saying a word. She couldn't help but feel curious:
"What's going on?"
"The story Yang Yang made up can't be true, right?" Zhao Bowen asked in a low voice, "Is there really a signal that can travel through time and space? Does BG4MSR really live in twenty years from now?"
"You are a professor and you come to ask us?" Bai Zhen said, "Did you waste the ten years of study that you spent more than us?"
"Deputy." said Zhao Bowen.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet, let's think of a solution."
Wang Ning took out his cell phone from his pocket and started dialing:
"Hey! Xiao Zhu, hey, it's me, where are you now? Have you gone home... Oh, that's great! That's great! Xiao Zhu, can you do me another favor? Are you free? Just go back to the office and get me another spectrum analyzer, the HP one, yes, yes, the white one... I'm so sorry to bother you again. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
Half an hour later.
The panting young man appeared at the door again, holding a white old HP spectrum analyzer in his arms.
Lao Wang again asked him to stay and have a drink of water.
Xiao Zhu waved his hand and said no, then disappeared in a flash.
"What kind of leader are you? The young man works hard to run errands for you late at night, and you ask him to drink a sip of water?" Bai Zhen was angry.
"Whose saliva are you drinking?" Zhao Bowen asked.
"I'll die if you two don't bully me, right?" Wang Ning put the second spectrum analyzer on the table and plugged it in. "Come, take a look at this one!"
The first spectrum analyzer cannot receive the signal from BG4MSR, which may be a problem with the spectrum analyzer.
Then try a spectrum analyzer.
The three men stared at the spectrum analyzer display. The old HP oscilloscope emitted a pale green light. It was possible that this thing was as old as the three old guys present, but no matter how old it was, it was still strong - Wang Ning's original words were "It is as strong as me and has been working for the health of the motherland for fifty years."
But the veteran who had always been strong and unyielding was defeated this time. The second spectrum analyzer could still only capture Bai Yang, and could not display the signal of BG4MSR. Finally, Wang Ning even moved the spectrum analyzer to Bai Yang's room, which was only one meter away from the Icom725 radio station, and the two sides started working simultaneously. Even at this point, the signal of BG4MSR still ignored the spectrum analyzer, and only Bai Yang's broken radio station could receive it.
This is incredible.
"I knew it." Bai Zhen slapped his thigh. "Old Wang said that this thing is in the same state as himself. Isn't that the end? It's all Alzheimer's."
The three people present, Bai Zhen, Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen, are all experienced amateur radio experts, but no one can explain this phenomenon.
Why is the signal of BG4MSR selectively received by Baiyang's Icom725?
Has this radio wave become a spirit?
