CHAPTER XXXI

Seeing that the narrow screen lit up suddenly, Huo Qiyong was so surprised that he almost danced: "Dean, it's bright, it's bright!" ”

BB machine is also called pager, pager, BP machine, referred to as pager. In 1983, SH opened China's first paging station, and BP machine entered China. It has evolved from analog BP machines→ digital BP machines, Chinese BP machines→ mobile phones, MSN and other instant messaging tools. A pager is a receiver for users in a wireless paging system. It usually consists of a superheterodyne receiver, a decoder, a control part, and a display part. It selects the useful signal to be received from the paging signal and interference transmitted by the base station, restores it to the baseband signal of the original paging machine, and generates sound (or vibration) and displays digital (or alphabet, Chinese characters) messages. According to the line number of the incoming call, the automatic paging station automatically finds out the phone number of the pager and sends it out at the same time, so that the pager knows which phone is the pager.

BB machine - how to use

If you want to find person A, but you are not at home.

Just call the pager,

Say A, call back quickly or something.

When A's saw it, he called you back from a public phone or something.

Zhang Wanqiu didn't know this thing, thinking that it was the same as a mobile phone, and she could send text messages directly, so she hurriedly rummaged through the mobile phone of her coat, "I saved Dr. Wei's mobile phone number." ”

Geng Jianghui suddenly frowned: "No, this needs a pager to send a message, Director Huo...... Do you find out if there is a place to record the pager number? ”

Wei Yuan couldn't have given only one pager, but no pager.

It's not like the style of a serious research institute.

This stumped Huo Qiyong, he didn't understand any of the terms that the dean said, what pager, where did he find what number?

Huo Qiyong could only pick up the leather envelope again, turn it over and look at it, and then look into the envelope with his eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

A few numbers were written in marker pen on the inside of the envelope, and he looked at it several times before he confirmed that it was, 127.

Huo Qiyong immediately told Geng Jianghui what he found, and Geng Jianghui, who saw it through the monitor, was also very excited, he said: "Quick, try to send a message out!" ”

In fact, the relationship between the research institute and Matsuyama Hospital has always been delicate, and the two parties have always maintained a clear state in order to balance.

But at this time, I can't care so much.

Huo Qiyong looked at the machine in his hand suspiciously, reluctantly called it a machine, there was not even a letter button on it, how could he send a message?

Geng Jianghui commanded at the monitor: "Use the machine next to you to dial the number on the envelope just now." ”

Huo Qiyong glanced at the side, only the old-fashioned "walkie-talkie". That's all there was in the envelope.

"Can the walkie-talkie make a call?" Huo Qiyong was surprised, isn't this thing only for internal communication?

Geng Jianghui has a headache, how can he explain to the group of post-00s juniors next to him that this is actually a product of the 1G era, and he is really older than them. He sighed and said, "That's the big ...... Forget it, you do what I say! ”

Huo Qiyong picked up the "walkie-talkie" and pressed the three numbers 127 on it, and after a burst of noise, a cold and friendly electronic voice came: "Hello, please tell me what needs to be paged." ”

Huo Qiyong was so excited, Mom, he really got through: "Hello, this is Songshan Hospital, we are in trouble......"

The electronic voice paused: "I don't recognize, please repeat what needs to be paged." ”

"Hurry up and contact the Beijing Hong Kong Guards, hurry up!"

"Not recognized, please repeat what needs to be paged."

"We're going to call ...... police"

"Not recognized, please repeat what needs to be paged."

Huo Qiyong screamed for a long time, and found that the opposite side looked like a repeater, as if it was really a robot.

Geng Jianghui immediately understood that this should be the electronic pager left by Wei Yuan, and it should be a program such as automatic response, and Dean Geng's brain calmed down.

Yes, how is it possible to have a manual pager now, and BB machines are not capable of transmitting overly complex content in the first place.

Geng Jianghui stared at the monitor, his eyes complicated.

"Director Huo, you do what I say."

Since the pager can be opened, it means that Wei Yuan has made preparations for leaving this machine, but the temporary automatic pager must not have time to improve its functions, and it must only be able to deal with the simplest situations.

β€”β€”

At this time, Wei Yuan was in a suburban experimental field ten miles away, where a temporary conference room of the scientific research institute had been set up, and the air in the conference room was now full of saber rattling, and the high-level officials were discussing the feasibility of the large-scale evacuation plan.

"The speed of 'erosion' is obviously much faster than we thought, and we have to make a shelter plan quickly, and if it drags on, I don't know how many more people will be affected......"

"Minister Zhao, a large-scale evacuation will first cause panic and riots, Beijing and Hong Kong have a population of 900,000, and our first batch of experimental evacuation plans have already had more difficulties than before, do you know how many riots have occurred in various neighborhoods?"

"Do you have to wait for the consequences to become more and more serious? ……”

The high-level people quarreled so much that the whole conference room was tense, and no one could convince anyone to continue to quarrel.

A clear burst of electronic music rang out all around, a voice so dissonant that it suddenly silenced all the voices that spoke.

"Bell bell bell ......"

It rang for a while and then continued to sound, and everyone looked at the source of the sound, Wei Yuan, who was sitting alone at the back of the conference room.

Minister Zhao hesitated: "Dr. Wei, your mobile phone?" ”

What a kind and distant voice, all of you here haven't heard it for a long time.

"Could it be that Dr. Wei's phone still works?" Someone cast envious glances.

Wei Yuan shook his wheelchair back and apologized to everyone: "...... Excuse me. ”

Wei Yuan reached into his coat pocket and slowly took it out, and everyone stared at the small thing in Wei Yuan's hand.

It's not a mobile phone, is it?

Minister Zhao stared, his gaze seemed to fluctuate a little: "This, this is ......"

Wei Yuan looked at the narrow screen of the pager, and three letters floated by: SOS.

The number shows the one he sent to Matsuyama Hospital.

Wei Yuan's expression moved.

Then someone coughed twice and said unhappily: "For such an important and serious meeting, how can you bring some strange things in, Dr. Wei?" ”

As a "special adviser" invited by the meeting, Wei Yuan's identity is delicate and embarrassing.

On the one hand, with his status, he can't intervene and make decisions, but at the same time, his research seems to be related to the survival of the entire Beijing and Hong Kong, and even everyone.

Minister Zhao and Wei Yuan happened to be sitting at the beginning and end of the meeting, and Minister Zhao looked at the silent young man on the other side: "What's wrong?" Something? ”

Wei Yuan looked at the three big letters "SOS" floating on the pager, and slowly raised his head: "I'm sorry everyone...... I'm afraid something happened at Matsuyama Hospital. ”
