Chapter 53 The Second Seminar on Amateur Radio Strange Phenomena and Technology
After three failures, the smart trio finally began to take Bai Yang's advice seriously.
On the evening of October 13, 2019, they held the Second Amateur Radio Phenomenon and Technology Seminar in Room 8**5, Zhongqinyuan, Meihua Villa.
Guests attending the meeting included:
Director Wang Ning represented the Nanjing Radio Management Committee.
Representative of the School of Physics of Nanjing University is Associate Professor Zhao Bowen.
Bai Zhen, a representative of online ride-hailing drivers in Nanjing.
Bai Yang, a representative of the senior high school students from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Affiliated High School.
The meeting was chaired by Bai Yang, a senior high school student at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics High School and a representative of unlicensed illegal HAM.
"It's a bit difficult to implement the double-blind principle when there are too many time capsules. After all, they are so big. It's okay if you use one or two, but if you bring five or eight, people will inevitably be curious." Zhao Bowen sank into the sofa, holding a thermos cup in his hand. "And when there are too many, it will be difficult to bury them secretly. There is a contradictory fact here. The things we send should be as inconspicuous as possible. Too many, too big, or too special are not good."
"Where did Xiao Yang hide before?" Wang Ning asked.
"At Crescent Lake." Bai Yang replied.
"Who did you arrange to help you hide the time capsule?" Wang Ning asked again.
"I forgot." Bai Yang spread his hands. "The night the time capsule was buried, I hit my head against the ground, which caused me to have a concussion and amnesia. I can't remember who I gave it to."
Of course Bai Yang would not tell anyone.
This is amazing. Subjectively, he would never reveal the information to anyone. There is no doubt that this is Bai Yang's free will and his subjective initiative.
But he knew a few days ago that the time capsule had been picked up by the girl. The fact that the capsule was picked up predicted that Bai Yang would do this in the future.
So is the decision Bai Yang made at this moment his free will or a destiny?
Bai Yang thought in his mind. It was hard for him to imagine that the future, which was completely unknown to him, was already a history that had already been determined for BG4MSR. Bai Yang thought that the decision he made was actually a corner of history that had already been settled. Was this a coincidence? Did his subjective choice coincide with the direction of history, or was he controlled by some unknown force, which pushed him towards a certain path?
Bai Yang raised his hand and waved it in the air.
It was as if he was brushing off the invisible puppet strings hanging from his limbs.
"What's wrong, Yangyang?" asked Zhao Bowen who was sitting opposite.
"There are mosquitoes." Bai Yang said.
In fact, Bai Yang also thought about what would happen if he found Yan Zhihan now, asked her to tell him the exact location of the time capsule, and then revealed this information - what changes would occur to BG4MSR that has already found the time capsule?
But he just thought about it and didn't put it into action.
It was precisely because he did not know how to take action that BG4MSR was able to pick up the time capsule. If he was a person who would take action, then BG4MSR would not have found the capsule in the first place and the plan would still fail.
Bai Yang thought silently.
This is part of history.
This includes the fact that he would have ideas like "go find Brother Yan and ask about the exact location of the capsule", but he did not put it into practice. This is also part of history.
Thinking of this, Bai Yang became deeply worried.
If everything I do is part of history, doesn't that mean the future cannot be changed? The Black Moon is bound to come? The end of the world is bound to come?
"How many time capsules are you going to send in this batch?" asked Zhao Bowen.
"If we want to stay hidden, we won't send too many. Let's cut it in half." Wang Ning pondered, "I think sending five is enough. This time, let's try Xiao Yang's previous method."
Wang Ning admitted defeat.
He had to admit that Bai Yang's damn time capsule was really different from the ones he had played with before.
It’s really hard to understand why it is so difficult to send a time capsule?
"Yang Yang's approach still has room for improvement. If we want to ensure double-blindness, the person who prepares the capsule and the person who buries the capsule cannot know each other." Zhao Bowen pointed out the flaws of Bai Yang's plan. "If the two people know each other, there is still a possibility of collusion to reveal the specific location of the capsule. The ideal situation is that the two people who prepare the capsule and bury the capsule do not know each other, have no contact with each other, and have no relationship with each other."
It sounds simple, but when the four people present thought about it carefully, there were a lot of difficulties in operation. It is almost impossible to have no connection between two people.
Little by little, they put the entire action plan on paper:
First, Wang Ning's team prepared the time capsule and sent one person with the capsule to meet the second person at the designated location.
The second person was sent by Zhao Bowen's side. He was responsible for receiving the capsule and hiding the time capsule in Crescent Lake.
Since the two people have never met each other before, the plan must be careful and the meeting place, time and code must be agreed upon in advance.
After hiding the time capsule, the person responsible for burying it used the method proposed by Bai Yang and transmitted the location via WeChat voice.
The first half of the plan must mesh with the second half like a gear, and fit together perfectly. It is hard to imagine that this intelligence organization's meticulous plan for sending intelligence is actually for sending express delivery. The people on both sides are selected by Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen respectively, and they also have to solve their own problems. Wang Ning's people cannot secretly open the capsule to peek, and Zhao Bowen's people cannot mention this matter to anyone including Zhao Bowen in the future.
Also note that here it is not actually the case that there is no relationship between the two people who sent the capsule and the two who hid the capsule.
Wang Ning arranged for someone to deliver the capsules, so this person must know Wang Ning.
Zhao Bowen arranged for someone to bury the capsule, so this person must know Zhao Bowen.
Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen are old acquaintances.
This chain of relationships is established.
Theoretically, there is a possibility that the two knew each other through Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen.
But this is the best they can do.
During the discussion, Bai Zhen proposed another plan: hire a stranger who is unknown to anyone online or on the street to bury the capsule.
But the four quickly ruled out this option.
Although randomly picking someone up from the street meets the condition of being a complete stranger, it also brings a high degree of uncontrollability and instability. To take it to an extreme, what if this person takes the time capsule and runs away? In addition, finding a safe place to bury the capsule is not an easy task. It takes time and careful selection. Just randomly picking someone is likely to do a perfunctory job, resulting in the failure of the plan.
They realized that it was impossible to meet all the conditions, and it was impossible to cut off ties and reduce relationships while ensuring the controllability and stability of the plan. These were contradictory conditions.
"I'll find someone to help me. I'll prepare the capsules first, package them, and then give them to him," Wang Ning said. "He'll be responsible for giving them to the second person."
"I'll find the second person." Zhao Bowen continued, "We have to decide on a time and place to meet."
"There is one more thing to note, Lao Wang, you must not let Lao Zhao know who the person you are looking for is, and Lao Wang must not know who the person Lao Zhao is looking for is." Bai Zhen said, "You are two parts of the plan, you must keep both sides completely confidential, the only things you know at the same time are the meeting place, time and code."
"Okay." Wang Ning nodded, and stood up at the same time as Zhao Bowen. "Let's go back and prepare. The new time capsule should be arriving soon."
"Uncle Wang, remember to put rat poison!" Bai Yang reminded.
"I know." Wang Ning muttered, "This is really the most troublesome time capsule I have ever played with in my life."
