Chapter 9
At noon, He Leqin took Bai Yang to a restaurant in the mall to eat Japanese food, Wagyu Sukiyaki.
"I actually ate Japanese food with a hot guy," He Leqin said, "and achieved a new success in life."
"What achievement?"
"There are men on both sides, and there are straight men on top of men, and there is a big man in front who looks like a homosexual!" He Leqin finished speaking in one breath.
"You are quite naughty." Bai Yang nodded.
"No way!" Young Master He was immediately indignant.
"Look, there's a girl over there in a white short skirt. She has fair skin and looks a bit like Zhao Lusi." Bai Yang raised his chopsticks and pointed.
"Where?" He Leqin turned his head sharply, "Where is Zhao Lusi?"
Bai Yang took up his chopsticks and took the fatty beef from his bowl.
The air conditioning in the shopping mall was turned on very high. The two people didn't want to go out after they came in. In this increasingly hot summer, their lives were saved by the air conditioning.
The terrazzo floor was mopped to a shine, the lights overhead were dazzling, the young girls coming and going were all tall, some carrying a shoulder bag or holding the arm of a young man, their heels making a crisp sound on the floor, their gathering together was not a flow of people but a trend, the two students Bai Yang and He Leqin walked through this bright trend filled with perfume like silly civet cats crossing the street.
Mr. He is certainly not a civet cat.
It is Poplar.
This is the most prosperous business district in the entire Nanjing city and even in the whole country, with hundreds of thousands of people visiting every day. The two stood on the Xinjiekou Pedestrian Street and looked up to see the surrounding high-rise buildings towering like giants, surrounding them tightly. The Xinjiekou subway station under their feet is also the largest subway station in the country, with a total of 24 entrances and exits.
He Leqin is always proud when standing in Xinjiekou, because the turntable in this subway station was contracted and built by his family.
"How about making a blind box and giving it to Brother Yan?" He Leqin asked.
"What blind box?" Bai Yang was a little absent-minded.
“New models from Pop Mart.”
"What are you bubblegum?" Bai Yang asked.
“Pop Mart.”
"What Matt?"
“Pop Mart.”
"What are you soaking in?"
"You seem to be very rude?" He Leqin poked him with his chopsticks, "I bought you the movie ticket to watch 'Charlotte's Troubles'."
Bai Yang drew back to avoid him.
"What are you thinking about? You look absent-minded." He Leqin asked, "What's bothering you? You can tell me any emotional problems you have. Let the number one lover in the Affiliated High School of Southern University of Aeronautics and Astronautics enlighten you."
"The shortwave communication I had planned for a long time failed." Bai Yang said.
"Oh, you mean that radio..." He Leqin slapped his forehead. Of course he knew what Bai Yang was tinkering with. Bai Yang had been planning to make a long-distance communication a week ago. For this purpose, he spent a lot of his spare time preparing, from checking the antenna to checking the radio station, and then to confirming that his external calls would not be followed by someone coming to check the water meter. It can be said that he put a lot of effort into it.
"That's not a radio!"
"Radio, okay? Radio." He Leqin changed the subject, "Didn't you say that thing could hear the radio? Did you hear it? Did you say it would give you US dollars? Did you say it would give you a beautiful woman?"
Bai Yang shook his head.
"They want to turn you over without giving you US dollars or beautiful women?" He Leqin was shocked by the stinginess.
"Sometimes I feel like you are my father's biological son." Bai Yang said, "You both want US dollars and beautiful women."
"Everyone loves beauty." He Leqin said, "American beauty..."
"USA?"
“If their president gives it to me, I will accept it reluctantly.”
"I didn't get in touch with anything." Bai Yang sighed. "Maybe there's really no one on the shortwave channel, or maybe it's too late and everyone has gone to bed. Anyway, my plan has completely failed. It's really difficult to make long-distance connections using shortwave..."
"No one?"
"No one..." Bai Yang remembered that he actually contacted someone last night, "No, there is one person."
"Male or female?" He Leqin asked.
"Female."
"Hello Pansy." He Leqin nodded, "What does she look like?"
"How should I know?" Bai Yang rolled his eyes. "Do you think the radio has a display?"
"Okay, okay, go on. What next?"
"And then nothing happened." Bai Yang recalled the communication situation last night. "She was a black station. She didn't have a call sign and didn't report her position. She just started to make a lot of noise and talk nonsense in the channel."
Bai Yang was indeed frightened at the time. As a rookie who was communicating with the outside world for the first time, he encountered a completely unruly person on his first call. The questions asked by the other party confused him... such as how many people were there, whether there was a shortage of supplies, and whether there were casualties - logically speaking, hearing the word casualties should be an emergency communication. According to the rules for the use of amateur radio, emergency communication is the highest priority behavior in all amateur radio communications. When in an emergency, the user can bypass all rules and regulations.
It can be said that the ultimate meaning of amateur radio is emergency communication. When a major disaster occurs, such as an earthquake, tsunami, flood, volcanic eruption, forest fire or other natural disaster, and all normal means of external communication fail, the radio station will become the last straw. It can send the distress signal to the outside world through the ionosphere reflection. It is rough, fragile, noisy and unclear, but it will never fail.
But was what I encountered last night an emergency communication?
Bai Yang had never noticed this problem before, but now thinking back on it, he frowned deeply.
Unfortunately, Bai Yang is really an inexperienced rookie and didn't know how to deal with this situation. If his father was there at the time, he should have been able to handle it properly, right?
Thinking of this, Bai Yang began to worry secretly again.
It can’t really be an emergency communication, right?
Could it be that the girl was in some trouble?
Maybe she was in trouble and was using the radio to call for help?
Didn't that mean I had done something bad? I had missed an opportunity to save someone?
"If you fail, you fail. There are plenty of opportunities anyway." He Leqin comforted him, "You can try other channels tonight. Try them one by one, and you will always meet other people."
"14255."
"14255?"
"I'll try 14.255MHZ tonight to see if I can connect to other people..."
Bai Yang decided to try to contact her again tonight. He still remembered the channel. Many old toads had their own fixed frequency bands. Bai Yang hoped that 14255 was the girl's usual channel, and he could meet her again when he went online tonight.
But what if yesterday was her last call to the outside world?
He Leqin saw that Bai Yang looked a little unhappy, so he gently poked his shoulder, "Little Aries? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Bai Yang shook his head. "Eat, eat. The pot is all boiled dry."
The steaming Sukiyaki pot was boiling in front of him, but Bai Yang suddenly lost his appetite. Why eat hotpot in such a hot summer?
