Chapter 50 Sending Signals

There is a zipline on the edge of the roof that connects to the tower.

Laura was just about to go up, but Su Bai stopped her: "I'll just go, Laura." You are waiting here. ”

"No way!" Laura immediately blurted out, and then said, "I know how to send a distress signal, I should be the right one." ”

"I won't let you do such a dangerous thing alone."

Su Bai shook his head.

Having played the game, he knew that sending a distress signal this time would not fail, but they still couldn't escape from the island. Even the planes that come to the rescue are shot down by the lightning summoned by Queen Himiko.

He certainly couldn't leave Laura alone to face what was next.

The two were at a stalemate for a moment, and Su Bai said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”

Laura was stunned, smiled and nodded.

"I'll go first."

Su Bai took the first step under the zipline, looked at Laura and said.

Laura nodded: "Be careful." ”

"Don't worry."

Su Bai smiled at her. Reaching out and tugging the zipline to make sure it was strong enough, he jumped up, hooked his legs on the zipline, and crawled towards the opposite tower.

Ignoring the cliffs below isn't a hard thing to do. But if you look down and look down, you are afraid that those who are weak will fall off the zipline with weakness on the spot.

Su Bai didn't want to test his guts, so he kept his eyes on the front and didn't look down at all.

It didn't take long for him to climb up the slightly swaying zipline to the opposite side, landing on the iron walkway that circled around the tower.

Then, he turned to Laura, beckoned, and shouted, "No problem, come here, Laura." ”

Laura didn't hesitate, and immediately followed the example he had just done and climbed along the zipline to the tower.

After falling off the zipline, the two looked up and could see a flashing red light above.

"This should be the place we need to find, the maintenance station." Laura said.

"Let's go, then." Su Bai said, "In the last stretch of the road, we are about to succeed. ”

The two walked around the tower for half a circle and came to the iron ladder.

"Good...... This is it. Laura grabbed the iron ladder and shook it vigorously, "It's sturdy." We should be able to climb all the way to the top of the tower by following this. ”

"Let's get started, then." Su Bai said, "I'll look behind for you." ”

Laura took a deep breath, looked up again, and then climbed the ladder and climbed upward.

After she climbed out of a short distance, Su Bai also began to move. Grasp the ladder with both hands and climb up with your hands and feet.

He looked up from time to time as he crawled, keeping an eye on Laura's situation, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The reason why he didn't choose to follow Laura closely was so that he would have time to react if Laura accidentally missed.

The two climbed for a while and came to another platform.

The tower has shrunk a lot up here.

A zipline is tied to the tower and the other end goes all the way down to a road below.

"Looks like we'll be able to save some effort later." Su Bai said with a smile.

Continue up.

Climbing the tower may seem like a simple task, but it is actually physically and mentally exhausting.

In such a high place, people don't dare to have the slightest distraction, and they are tense at all times, maintaining a state of full concentration.

After a long time, Su Bai also gasped slightly.

After a while, the two of them came to the second platform.

By this point, the upper part of the tower had become a long, thick metal pole. If you look up, you can see a platform above, a bit like an observation deck at the top of a ship's mast in the Age of Sail.

Continuing up, there is no ladder, but it becomes a small iron rod that stretches out horizontally.

"Sue, I'll just go up, you're right here." Laura looked at Su Bai and said.

Su Bai looked up, and after thinking about it, he didn't object: "Okay, you have to be careful, Laura." Don't be in a hurry. ”

"I understand."

Laura nodded, gasped slightly, reached out and grabbed the iron rod and continued to climb up.

Su Bai stood on the platform, looking up at her all the time, and his heart was slightly raised, for fear that something would happen to her.

There was a section of the bar that had been damaged, and the intact one was more than Laura could reach.

She could only stop, then carefully straightened up, jumped slightly towards it, and reached out to grab the crossbar above.

Click!

At that moment, the bar suddenly slanted downward. Su Bai, who had been watching this scene, suddenly had sweaty palms and tensed all over, ready to rescue Laura at any time.

Fortunately, the crossbar was only tilted and did not break off.

Laura stepped on the base of the broken crossbar, climbed up, and continued up.

Seeing that she was fine, Su Bai relieved himself.

It didn't take long for Laura to reach the platform at the top of the tower.

With a little excitement, she leaned over and shouted to Su Bai below, "I'm here, Su!" I'm here! ”

"Well done, Laura." Su Bai also shouted loudly, "Now try to see if you can send a distress signal!" ”

"I see!"

After replying, Laura turned around, looked at the machine in front of her, and took out the walkie-talkie.

"Alex?"

"Laura." There was a quick response from the walkie-talkie.

Laura opened the lid, held the walkie-talkie in her left hand, and said, "I'm already on the maintenance desk." ”

"Very well, the tower should be able to enhance the signal of the transmitter." Alex on the other end of the walkie-talkie said, "You try it." ”

"Okay."

Laura placed the walkie-talkie on top of the machine cover, took out the transmitter again, and placed it next to the machine.

Alex said: "Start by finding the emergency channel, then tune to the channel that is as clear as possible before sending the distress signal. ”

Hearing this, Laura began to rotate the knob on the equipment on the maintenance bench to adjust the radio channel.

"Hey." Alex suddenly said, "Everyone on our side is blessing you, Laura. ”

Laura's movements slowed slightly, and a warm and touching emotion welled up in her heart: "Thank you." ”

After saying that, concentrate on continuing to debug.

After a moment of debugging, a cacophony came. Laura hurriedly reduced the amplitude of her movements, carefully fine-tuning.

Soon, the murmur became a discernible human voice.

"Your current channel is the International Emergency Broadcast Response System, please indicate your condition, location coordinates, and wait for a reply......"

A male voice repeats the phrase in extremely standard English.

Laura hurriedly switched to another knob and began to adjust the noise suppression.

The rustling noise is incessant, and it is distracting.

But she didn't have the slightest impatience, her face was full of concentration, and she kept adjusting the knobs according to the changes in the noise.

Finally, when the knob was adjusted to a certain position, the noise suddenly nearly disappeared, and the voice became indistinct.

Laura was suddenly agitated and immediately shouted loudly: "Help, help." I'm Laura Crawford of the Endurance. Our ship is stranded on an island in the Dragon Triangle and needs support and supplies. Please answer if you hear it. ”
