Chapter 8 Voice Control

When Kerry returned to the Navy's communications station, he quickly discovered the crux of the problem, and that in order to uncover the secrets of the pulse waves, a supercomputer would have to be used to decode them, and according to his estimates, the supercomputers in the Bat project were far from enough, and he said that Anderson reported to the Admiralty that he would increase the budget to purchase new supercomputers.

By the fall of 1975, two months after the report had been sent in, and there was still no reply, Asanzi returned while Kerry and Emily waited anxiously.

According to Assanzi, after their initial recruit training was completed in Saigon, Assanzi was assigned to a radio listening station to monitor North Vietnamese movements and prevent them from violating the Quadripartite Armistice in Paris by carrying out sneak attacks on retreating American troops.

In fact, the North Vietnamese did not take action against the American army, but mobilized all their forces to attack the South Vietnamese, Assanzi's unit was mixed with the South Vietnamese army and was besieged in the jungle by a North Vietnamese army for more than a year, cut off from the outside world, and when it was finally breached, the North Vietnamese found the Americans mixed in with it, and released them in isolation.

The whole family was so happy that they called their neighbor Clifford to celebrate, and during the meal, Kerry asked Assanzi, "You are coming back safely, you are twenty years old, what are your plans for the future?" ”

"Our veterans have a special placement method, and I will be placed at the Roosevelt Road Naval Base nearby." Assanzi picked up a piece of local ham and ate it with relish.

"I'm against you coming to work at Roosevelt Roads Naval Base." Emily put down the fork in her hand and said to Assanzi in a serious manner.

Assanzi smiled, "Look at you nervous, I haven't finished talking yet, how can I answer that I should go to the naval base, how can I forget the bitter days when I was a child." I want to **** what I like, I sent an application to Cornell University, and I'm going to work at the Arecivo Observatory and talk to alien planets in my lifetime. No one has an advantage over me when I apply for a position here, my two years of experience in radio monitoring in Saigon is the best fit for this job, and people from New York State will never fly all the way to compete for me. ”

Assanzi was frowning when Kerry interrupted him, "Son, you've been blown away by the newspapers, what do you know about the observatory, the signal sent by Uncle Clifford won't reach the constellation Herculess until twenty-four thousand years later, even if there are civilized creatures there, by the time they return the signal to you, your ashes will have already turned into limestone beneath Arecivo." ”

"Dad, you must have something to hide from me, I heard you and Uncle Lipper say strange alien signals when I was ten years old."

Clifford, who was next to him, was about to speak, but Kerry gave him a color, "What nonsense are you talking about?" When you were ten years old, Uncle Lipper and I were on duty to receive seismic waves, and everyone at this naval base knows it. Anyway, I categorically disagree with you going to work at the naval base, and I don't agree with going to work in Arecivo. ”

Assanzi was unhappy, "I'm twenty years old, I don't need you to advocate for me, I have already decided when I was in Saigon, I will definitely work at the Arecivo Observatory." With that, he threw his knife and fork on the table, and went out without looking back, leaving Kerry and the others looking at each other.

The Kerry couple had no choice but to take Assanzi, and Cornell quickly replied by letter hiring Assanzi as an engineer in the radio department of the Arecivo Observatory.

And Kerry waited at the naval base for more than a year, and did not see the Admiralty add a penny to the appropriation for his supercomputer, Kerry was anxious, he found Anderson's office, "General, what's going on, the report has been up for a year, there is always an explanation for giving or not giving?" ”

Anderson glanced at him tiredly, "I'm almost retired, and I'm tired of bats." You are so persistent, I will write to the Admiralty recommending you to take my place. ”

"What?" Kerry couldn't believe his ears.

"Kerry, we've been in this place for over twenty years, don't you think the air is full of disgusting smells? I tell you the good news, we are almost liberated. Anderson's words sounded clueless, "You wouldn't be unaware of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's ARPANET project, would you?" ”

Kerry began to learn about the ARPANET after becoming director, and from 1968 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency began a program to connect supercomputers together with a network, and by 1970, the project was no longer a classified project, but extended to the civilian field, Kerry nodded.

"Let me tell you the latest progress of the ARPANET, the computers in the United States have been connected, and it has extended its tentacles to our naval communication stations through satellite communications, extending to Hawaii, London, and Norway." Anderson changed his tired posture and roared, "It has sucked up all the funds of our bats, and sooner or later it will kill us!"

Anderson sat back down like a deflated ball, "Kerry, I have a hunch that the Apa net is spreading like a virus into the world, and that it will reach into the red world in the near future, when the Navy communications station and bats will disappear. ”

"You go back, it's basically hopeless for us to add funds." Anderson closed his eyes, Kerry walked out, and behind him Anderson added, "Be ready to replace me." Kerry went out the door, Rui hurried over, he saw Kerry breathless and said, "We found out, we found out!" ”

"What? What did you find? Kerry asked.

"VLSI circuits, the Arecivo radio telescope receiver was replaced with VLSI circuits." Rui was too agitated to speak incoherently and to the point. Kerry grabbed him by the shoulder and shook him vigorously, "Tell me, what did you find?" ”

"Brain waves, which are brain waves, and the noise of the receiver was significantly reduced after the receiver was replaced with VLSI circuits, and a waveform was detected in the background noise that was almost identical to the shape of the brain waves found by Dr. Beagle."

"Then let's report to Anderson." Kerry grabbed Rui and went back to Anderson's office, just walked to the door and was about to knock on the door, when he heard a gunshot from inside the office, Kerry hurriedly pushed the door open, a pistol fell to the ground, Anderson lay on the desk, the blood gubbling in the back of his head quickly stained his gray hair.

In October 1976, Kerry sat in Anderson's position, Rui's discovery did not excite Kerry for long, received Kerry's report, the Department of Defense set up a technical review committee to Puerto Rico for a month, after endless review and defense, the technical review committee believed that the Arecivo telescope found brain waves, given that brain waves are analog signals, each person's waveform is different, no matter how powerful the signal processing computer is, there is no way to automatically process these signals, There is no need to expand the Bat project, considering that the Apanet is still in its infancy, the naval communication station will maintain the status quo for the time being, and the Bat project will be closed at an appropriate time.

Kerry didn't expect to become a caretaker cabinet, it doesn't matter if he waits for retirement, the only thing he worries about is Assanzi, if Assanzi knows that the Arecivo Observatory is going to close, will he accept it? Kerry wanted to tell Assanzi the truth, and when he saw Assanzi pounce in the observation room all day and night, Kerry retracted the words that came to his lips.

While Puerto Rico is in trouble, Chinese mainland is a land of spring. On October 6, Chairman of the ****** and Marshal Ye Jianying, on behalf of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, conducted an isolation review of Jiang Qing, ******, ******, and ******, and the news soon spread to Xinyang, Henan.

Liu Chunyang only cared about cutting off the ripe soybean stalks in the field and tying them up with straw ropes one by one. Liu Weiping rushed over, "Dad, did you hear the broadcast, ****** was knocked down." ”

"Go home and read your book, Dad hears it, and I don't need you to remind me." Liu Chunyang didn't raise his head.

"Dad, the old people in the village say that the more you read, the more reactionary you become." Liu Weiping wanted to make a joke, the atmosphere was too tense before, and it was too difficult for a person of his age to speak the same as the People's Daily.

"Fart!" Liu Chunyang raised his head, "When I was younger than you, my father knew that there was a golden house in the book, and there was Yan Ruyu in the book, but it's a pity that your grandfather couldn't even support him, and my father couldn't write his name until now." ”

These two sentences of crepe crepe came out of Liu Chunyang's mouth, which made Liu Weiping feel awkward, "Dad, you see that you are so old, and your mother's health is not very good, I still help you farm, now that the school is closed, I am such an adult, and I am laughed at by the whole village every day by hiding in the house and reading." ”

Liu Chunyang didn't speak, took out the dry smoke from his trouser pocket, took out the fire and lit it, and pulled Liu Weiping to sit on the ground, "Child, my father really can't earn a job, in the past, your mother and I earned a little ration and saved some food to feed you, but now that you are so old, we are both old, you have to set up a portal by yourself." You know a lot of words, you are also a little talent in the village, you are the light of the ancestors of our Liu family for three generations, I think you should hurry up and ask your daughter-in-law for a while. ”

Liu Weiping smiled shyly: "Dad, then there is a daughter-in-law who will ask for it." ”

"Daddy is the master for you, I look good at the daughter of the old man Zhang of the production team next door, she is a person, her body is sharp and fast, and her ass is also capable of giving birth to cubs, and if you marry her, there will be an extra labor force in the family." Hearing Liu Chunyang say this, Liu Weiping remembered that there was such a girl with big braids named Zhang Cuiying, "Dad, listen to you." ”

"You don't have to worry about it, we have more than 100 catties of pigs in our house, and Ming'er slaughtered it to help you go to propose, and your dead brother was not requisitioned by the commune." Liu Chunyang smoked the dry tobacco pot red.

Old man Zhang's pigtailed daughter was soon married into the door by the Liu family, and Liu Weiping and his daughter-in-law were busy helping their father work all day to earn work, and they had long forgotten the electronic computer that appeared in the newspaper.

When Liu Weiping hadn't woken up from the joy of the groom, Lin Shuangmian of Monterey City had once again reached a low point in his life.

He Yingzi immigrated to Canada with Lin Shuangmian and settled in Monterey City, Quebec, and began to send living expenses to their mother and daughter on a regular basis.

In the 70s, with the gradual rise of television and fierce competition among radio stations, life became more and more difficult, and the Hong Kong Economic Channel's subsidy for Ho Yingzi gradually decreased, and then it simply cut off cooking.

Lin Shuangmian is studying at the Polytechnic Institute of Montreal, and life is becoming more and more difficult, He Yingzi is forced to marry a local Irishman due to the pressure of life.

Unexpectedly, not long after marriage, He Yingzi found out that her husband was an addict, in the chaotic seventies, He Yingzi didn't know that he was infected with AIDS that day, and after divorcing her husband, He Yingzi was infected with typhoid fever and died soon because of low immunity, and Lin Shuangmian, who had just graduated from college, became an orphan again.

In 1976, Assanzi, Liu Weiping and Lin Shuangmian each followed their own life trajectories, and they would never have imagined that ten years later, the three would meet in Tokyo, Japan.
