Chapter 21: The Anti-Cannibal Communicator (Part II)
Mr. Tong's design makes use of strong magnetic pulses, which can be used to create a strong magnetic pulse system on the roof of the communication station, and the intensity depends on the height of the need to rise. In this way, under the action of strong magnetic rays, the suspended metal communication repeater is firmly fixed above the communication station. However, in order to cope with the extremely bad weather, Mr. Copper installed the engine on the drone as an auxiliary power for the repeater
But these are not the most important design, if only so, then the repeater is just a simple communication repeater, in order to finally deal with the attack of the man-eating bird, Mr. Tong designed the self-service fast rotation frequency, in order to ensure the normal operation of the repeater at the same time, with interference radio waves to attack the man-eating bird, and through the intelligent frequency conversion, quickly find the synchronous operation frequency of the internal chip of the man-eating bird, through the principle of resonance to stop the operation of the man-eating bird.
However, this configuration is only defense, in order to allow the expedition team to have the ability to attack actively, Mr. Tong also designed a variable frequency radio wave emission gun, this gun looks like a toy, but it is still very effective in the experiment, as for whether it can play a role in the man-eating bird, it still needs to be tested by an actual battle.
After the suicide of the representative of the Iron City-State, the Committee did not send a new representative, but directly appointed Major Titanium as the representative of the Iron City-State.
Major Titanium is very concerned about the development and manufacture of strong magnetic repeaters, and has won a lot of raw materials and accessories for Mr. Copper, of course, his purpose is to make a "probation" for Mr. Copper, but unfortunately, Mr. Copper has made up his mind and will not change again.
In fact, in addition to Major Titanium, the same is true of other city-states, which has brought a strong boost to the assembly progress of the repeater, and in less than ten days since Mr. Copper arrived at the base camp, Mr. Copper and the R&D team have built five testing machines and ten inverter guns
After an emergency meeting of the delegates, the communication repair plan was finally determined, and it was decided to send a technical team with four repeaters and eight inverter guns to repair the communication station, but the first stop they chose the outpost of the most advanced expedition, and after proving that the inverter attack was indeed effective against the man-eating birds, they fully repaired all the communications, and tried to move forward or make contact with the lost city-state.
Due to the recruitment of new personnel, the technical detachment was quickly formed, and at the same time, Kekexi and her people, Meiya and her people, were basically healed, and this time they will also go to the outpost with the transport airship.
Mr. Copper applied to install the repeater himself, and before leaving, he gave all the design drawings to Irina, and asked Irina to publish all the design drawings as soon as he heard the news of his death.
Irina agreed, but took a smarter strategy - entrusting the drawings to the committee for safekeeping, so that the petty calculations of all the city-state representatives would not be very good in plain sight.
In addition to this, Irina continues to let Ah Hua accompany her as a bodyguard and assistant.
However, Ah Hua didn't understand Mr. Tong's arrangement, but because Mr. Tong had been very busy before the trip, she didn't get a chance to ask. So on the journey to the outpost, she found an opportunity to ask Mr. Copper: "I said Mr. Copper, it's good to let someone else come to this kind of mission, you can do technical support in the base camp, why do you have to risk yourself?" Your family can now wait for you in Fort Town. ”
After this period of contact, Mr. Copper is no longer as restrained as when he first met them, he smiled slightly and said: "This thing I made up when it was useless, it is best for me to try it first, after all, this is risky, I can't risk other people's lives for my invention." ”
Ah Hua said: "But for the sake of the overall situation, wouldn't it be better for you, as an inventor, to stay in the base camp to do technical support?" ”
Mr. Tong smiled and said: "You may have heard some things these days, in fact, they are right, I have not received professional learning and training, relying on my natural imagination and understanding of machinery, I essentially did not invent anything new, but on the basis of others, add or subtract some, or do some various combinations, at best a utility model."
"So, if a person like me wants to gain the respect of others, in addition to constantly strengthening his own skills, he also has to fight for his own life, who makes me actually have nothing?"
Ah Hua said worriedly: "Then what about the profits of your patent?" Don't leave it to your family? Although Fort Town is a place that emphasizes equality, the performance of equality is reflected in money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money. ”
Mr. Copper shook his head and said, "They don't need my money. I've got them out of the steel city-state, which is what many people want but can't get. And now I think more about how to maintain peace, human beings in this world, there are only a dozen city-states, once there is a war, it may implicate everyone, so I am doing this now, in fact, it is also for my family to live in a better environment, and they are very capable, I believe they can live well in Fort Town. And there's something called the balance of horrors, you know? ”
Ah Hua still didn't understand and said, "Then you don't need to make your invention public after you die." ”
Mr. Copper smiled, "You still don't understand what I just said. I left the patent to my family, but I left them a legacy, and by making the patent public, I may be able to achieve a balance and maintain peace more confidently. And my family is also a beneficiary of peace. ”
Ah Hua is very good at fighting, but not good at thinking, she seems to be thinking hard for a while, then gives up, and asks: "You just said balance, what kind of balance is it, I still don't understand." ”
Mr. Copper patiently explained, "This balance is called the balance of terror. To put it simply, if you have it, I have to have it. For example, now there is a group of half-grown children, very impulsive, very reckless, there are deep contradictions between them, they may kill each other at any time, but there are also people who want to maintain peace, but these children are strong and weak, some have guns in their hands, some only have knives, and some are defenseless, in the absence of legal constraints, strong, aggressive children will inevitably kill weak children, because of the disparity in attack power, so that the cost and risk paid by the attacker is smaller, that is to say, in this situation of disparity in strength, The outbreak of war was inevitable. ”
When Mr. Tong said this, he glanced at Ah Hua, Ah Hua's hand supported his chin, and seemed to be very attentive to listening, looking interested, so Mr. Tong continued with great interest: "The repeater system I made has many uses in addition to dealing with man-eating birds, and it can easily improve the military strength of a city-state, so this technology cannot be exclusive to one family, it must be owned by everyone, no one can have an advantage, and everyone may pay a huge cost and take greater risks because of attacking others, so that As I said earlier, everyone has a gun in their hands, which seems dangerous, but in fact it is easier to find peace. It's called the balance of terror. ”
Ah Hua shook her head in confusion and said, "It seems to be a little clear, but when you say this, it seems to be confused again." ”
When Mr. Tong heard this, he wanted to continue to explain, but was stopped by Ah Hua and said: "Don't say it, I don't understand what I said, but I think it must make sense, you are the same as Your Excellency Irina, you are very capable people." Now I ask you a word, and you must answer honestly. ”
Mr. Copper nodded and said, "What do you ask?" ”
Ah Hua said, "Do you like Lord Irina?" I can see that you fell in love with her at first sight. ”
Mr. Tong was poked in the center, his face turned red, and he couldn't say anything for a long time, but he was an honest man after all, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, but I am not worthy of her, and I am already married, this is a betrayal of two people, I must choose the right path."
Ah Hua said: "You are really an honest man, I am not wrong, let me tell you the truth, you and Your Excellency Irina are indeed hopeless." But you can think about me. ”
Mr. Tong suddenly became even more unnatural, in his eyes, Ah Hua was indeed too bold, and he actually asked this kind of question so bluntly, he felt that he had to refuse, otherwise it would be emotionally hurt, so he said: "Whether it is you or Your Excellency Irina, I will not choose, I have just said, I am married, and I have children, I can't hurt them, and I can't hurt you." ”
Ah Hua smiled: "Are all the people from your steel city-state so stupid?" We leopard people are actually very similar to the rabbit people, they are good at being housekeepers, we are good at being guards, but sometimes we also meet the other needs of the master, of course, we have to be willing to do it. ”
Mr. Tong never dreamed that this kind of good thing would fall on his head, and he couldn't accept it for a while, but in fact, after a few days of contact, he still had a good impression of Ah Hua, and now Ah Hua took the initiative to throw the hydrangea again, he was really a little flattered.
Ah Hua knew that he was suffering from the battle between heaven and man in his heart at the moment, so he no longer mentioned this talk, but turned to look at him with affection all the way, and Mr. Tong felt uncomfortable all over his body, but he faintly felt a burst of comfort in his heart.
Feelings are sometimes irrational.
Well, Mr. Copper, I wish you happiness for the rest of your life.
After being attacked by the man-eating birds, only the second of the three communication stations set up by the expedition team was retained, and the personnel of the first and third were temporarily evacuated.
However, the mission also included the restoration of communication stations 1 and 3 and the upgrading of communication station 2.
Therefore, the old site of the communication station along the airship was equipped with a new type of strong magnetic repeater and a guard equipped with two inverter guns. Once the outpost's communications are restored and the man-eating birds are successfully suppressed, the repeaters of all the stations will be put into use at the same time to restore communications.
