The way back was smooth sailing, and An Jie was surprised to find that those demonic beasts were all walking around them.

"What's going on?"

These vicious beings have suddenly changed their sex?

"It's because of this."

Nikolai showed Anjie what he was holding - it was a pocket watch with a very strange shape.

It is called weird because there are so many parts on it, and all kinds of metal sticks and gears are densely packed. If it weren't for Nikolai revealing its dial, Anjie wouldn't have thought it was a pocket watch.

"What is this?"

Nikolai said that this is the one that made the monster go around, then it must not be an ordinary pocket watch, An Jie thought.

Nikolai looked at her in surprise.

"This is a pocket watch."

Anjie: ".................."

Click.

"Wait, wait, wait! Don't pull out your gun if you don't agree! Miss, don't you have any humor at all?! ”

"What humor cells do soldiers need?! There's enough time to joke about killing a dozen people! ”

An Jie decisively pulled the trigger!

"Bang!"

………… Rightfully missed.

"We have something to say!"

Nikolai looked at the bullet holes under his feet in a cold sweat.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

An Jie asked sharply.

"A multi-functional pocket watch with a signal transmission function."

Nikolai was honest this time, and he was probably frightened by An Jie's attitude of shooting at every turn.

An Jie hesitantly glanced at the multi-functional pocket watch in Nichollai's hand.

"This thing is really a pocket watch............"

"Yes, yes, you see I didn't lie..."

"Bang!"

Nikolai's frightened body shook and obediently shut up.

"Come with me."

Although Anjie was curious about how the pocket watch worked, there was clearly something more important at the moment.

As for this unknown electrical engineer? When the large army arrived, there were naturally a lot of ways to clean him up.

There was no word all the way, and the two of them quickly returned to the radio station room.

Nikolai frowned imperceptibly when he saw the radio station in front of him.

Anjie didn't notice this, she was picking up the headphones and trying to get in touch with the North County City Command.

"Hiss~hiss~"

An Jie looked at the frequencies displayed on the radio and scratched her head in distress.

"The frequency is obviously correct, why can't you get in touch?"

"That's why the electromagnetic field has changed here."

Nikolai interjected with a calm face.

"When I was passing by the fortress, I suddenly found that the magnetic field lines here have changed on a large scale, and the magnetic field of the entire fortress is in a strange 'otherworld', and you naturally can't connect with others with ordinary frequencies."

An Jie looked back at him deeply.

"You know a lot...... Can you help me connect to the radio station in Upper North County? ”

"Yes, but what do I get? Or are you going to pull out a gun and threaten me again? ”

Nikolai said this with a calm face, as if he no longer took Anjie's threat seriously.

But after An Jie's gun was on his waist, he still operated it honestly.

"I just threatened you with a gun, what's the matter?"

"No, nothing, whatever you want."

An Jie looked at Nikolai with a reluctant look on his face, and suddenly asked, "You seem to hate radio?" ”

Nikolai shook his shoulder.

"Almost."

"Why?"

"Why, you ask?"

Nikolai's movements paused.

"Because radio is my invention, I came up with it so that people from two places can communicate with each other. But the army uses it for military purposes. ”

Nikolai sighed.

"It was fine to not have a radio before, but since the radio has been introduced, the killing efficiency of the army has increased by more than one percentage point, and you won't understand my feelings when I see the invention I originally had good wishes turn into this."

An Jie hummed two words from her nostrils: "Hypocrisy!" ”

Nikolai rolled his eyes.

"You know what? It's not the most excessive thing if my invention is used for military purposes. After all, soldiers are also human beings, and it is always good to be able to die less, and the most excessive is ............"

Speaking of this, he was angry!

"The most excessive! The civilian version of the radio released by the military top brass is charged! And it's not low! It's completely contrary to my original wishes! I can't afford to pay for radio communications, and this thing I invented is still of use?! ”

Anjie: "............"

She suddenly understood this guy a little, when she tried to take a telegram back to the monastery in the teaching team, she also encountered the same situation - she couldn't pay the telegram fee.

"But that's not the worst!"

An Jie was shocked: "Isn't it the most excessive?!" ”

"That's right! The most excessive thing is that even I have to charge! I'm an inventor! O inventor of the radio! Even I, the inventor, have to charge for it! I'm still penniless from debt collection, and I can't even afford to use my own inventions! ”

"Little Miss, you don't understand my feelings at all, the invention that I was full of confidence thought could benefit mankind has turned into a weapon that slaughters mankind in turn. It was finally able to play its original role and was full of copper smell, and those big businessmen and rulers didn't pay attention to my mood at all, and they only had interests in their eyes! A superficial vision can get in the way of greatness! For the sake of those stinky money, I was forced to this barren place, my research institute, laboratory, obviously there are so many miracles waiting for me, but I can only come here to escape debts and do some kind of otherworldly investigation! You don't ............ at all."

"Okay, stop me!"

An Jie slammed the back of Nicholas on the back of the head with the butt of her gun.

"If what you say is true, then the great inventor, Mr. Nicholas, let me, a little soldier, tell you a good deed!"

An Jie reached out a small hand in front of him, rubbing her thumb and index finger together with her middle finger.

"It's a pity that this world is built on money, maybe you are very capable and talented, but you don't have money, so big businessmen and superiors will not respect you, this is the truth! Big-Fa-Ming-Home! ”

Nikolai was silent.

"So, if you want people to respect you, you have to be rich and powerful."

An Jie's voice was not a joke.

"Stubbornness and compromise always happen at the same time, and no one can hold on to one thing until they grow old. Maybe one day, your original thoughts will be shaken, and you will have to give up something...... In order to adapt to a new life. ”

Nikolai was stunned.

"If you really love invention, why don't you give up your pride? Go and kneel at the feet of those big businessmen and beg them to give you funding for your experiments? ”

An Jie sneered.

"Impossible!"

Nikolai's answer was decisive.

"Then let go of naïve thoughts, the world is not gentle enough to tolerate your willfulness. It won't even let me go as a little girl, and there's no reason why it would let you go. ”

An Jie patted him on the shoulder.

"How's the radio?"

"It's been around for a long time."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

"You don't say anything when you look like you're reminiscing about the past."

“……………… I'm really Shi Lezhi, and I'm wasting time here with you. ”

Anjie grumbled in a low voice and snatched the radio from Nikolai's hand.

picked up the headphones, and there was still a "hiss" sound inside, just when An Jie thought Nikolai was playing her.

“………… Hiss...... Hiss............ Hiss............ Feed............ Hiss ............"
