CHAPTER 42—HOMEMADE TRANSMITTERS
"This..." Guangwei's words were already stuttering a little. "I'm just using it for myself, not for others!"
"Do you use it yourself?" Chiba squinted and looked at the light guard. "Brother Kenya, can you take Brother Guangwei to check it out?"
"Huh?" Ken was stunned. "How to check?"
Qian Yu stopped talking and looked at Conan.
“。。。” Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
“。。。” A smile appeared on Qianyu's face that could not be concealed. "That, if Brother Guangwei really took cantharidin, then a certain part of him would be because of cantharidin... Prolonged congestion... It can be up to a few days. ”
The girls blew up in an instant, and the sound of snickering instantly made Guangwei's face red.
"You still have to persevere," Qian Yu continued to say in a playful voice. "Did you take cantharidin?"
"This..." Guangwei muttered in a barely audible voice. "But..."
"Don't talk about it yet," Qian Yu pointed out Guangwei's flaws, but his face didn't change at all.
Since Guangwei had already prepared cantharidin for Photon, he must have planned to subdue Photon at once, so it was impossible for him to make second-hand preparations, and it was absolutely impossible for him to design the kind of mechanism that could pull Photon's head off. So who did this?
"Can you tell us about it now?" Conan said calmly. "The real truth."
“。。。” Guangwei pursed his lips. "Believe me, what I said about the murder of Photon is true!"
"Could it be that someone is really planning to attack us?" Kenya muttered.
"Oh yes, Brother Kenya," Chiba remembered that he hadn't asked Kenya about the results of going down the mountain to check the situation. "You went down the mountain to investigate the situation before, how is the situation?"
"This..." Kenya's face was immediately stained with a haze. "The mountain road has been blocked by mudslides, and there is even a section that has been completely destroyed and impassable. And I saw the wreckage of the car in the rubble of the mudslide. ”
"What!" Chiba was shocked. "Meaning we're cut off from the world?"
"Yes." Deep Snow nodded. (They already knew, but they didn't know about it) "The external telephone line seems to have been cut off due to geographical effects, and only the call function in the villa remains." The teacher's Nokia phone could not find a signal and could not make a call. ”
"Wait a minute," Conan asked. "Then we can't even notify the police?"
"It's fine if you just can't notify the police," Kenya smiled wryly. "No one usually comes to this villa at all, probably until we starve to death, and no one until the mountain road on our side is blocked."
"Huh?" Qian Yu frowned and asked. "This..."
"Wait... Wait a minute," Reiko asked with a surprised expression suddenly. "Will everyone starve to death?"
"Uhhh Kenya nodded a little awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I only told Deep Snow about this before."
The crowd fryed again.
"What then?"
"Are we all going to die here?"
"Do you want to send someone to try to go down and ask for help?"
"Brother Kenya," Chiwa said in a deep breath and in a volume that Ken could also hear. "You have a TV here, right? If I remember correctly, the box you used to carry the compressed biscuits to our house just now seemed to be a cardboard box used to transport the TV. ”
"There's a TV, but the box and the TV are a long time ago, I remember it should be the old model from more than ten years ago, and it should be unusable." Kenya turned his head and replied.
"Where? If you don't mind, I'm going to take on a challenge. Qian Yu shook his hand and asked.
"What are you going to challenge?" Kenya asked.
"If we're all dead anyway," Qian Yu said leisurely, putting her hand in her trouser pocket. "TV is useless, so let me try it, make a pixie or a frog chirping transmitter and watch it. If you're lucky, you might be able to reach someone down the hill by radio. ”
"Are you okay?" A girl asked.
"Theoretically," Qian Yu didn't know who said this, so he could only answer directly. "If I can't do it, it's unlikely you'll make it. Because I have learned about the modification of radio transmitters. ”
"I'll take you to get the TV," Ken didn't hesitate, and immediately took Chiba to find the TV.
"Conan," before disappearing in front of everyone, the voice of a thousand feathers reached Conan's ears. "Go find an insulated stick and some plastic rope... The material is not important, the insulation is good. ”
When Chiba saw the TV, he breathed a sigh of relief - there was no damage to the TV, and there was a good chance that the internal parts would still work.
"Brother Kenya, help me bring all the electrical appliances in the room that use No. 5 batteries, such as clocks and watches, if you want to bring batteries, I need at least 12."
Qianyu plans to make a pixie transmitter, which is the simplest kind of telegraph, but as long as the voltage provided by the battery is large enough and the bearable strength of the electronic components is enough, this kind of elf transmitter can also be transmitted to a distance of more than ten kilometers under the mountain and be received.
A circuit board removed from a television, a plurality of electronic components, a plurality of elements for sending signals from a television and a remote control, and a plurality of processing elements for a television and a remote control. These elements make up a good enough transmitter.
When Kenya returned to Chiba with a large number of clocks brought from various rooms, a transmitter that was almost complete had appeared in Chiba's hand. "Chiba, I'm back with a clock!"
"Great," Chiba smiled, grabbing the clock in Kenya's hand. "I still need some hardware tools, though."
After getting the hardware tools, Qianyu pried open the running part of the clock with a screwdriver, cut off a small section of wire connected to the battery slot, and connected the battery slots one by one in the order of connecting the positive wire to the negative wire, so that all the batteries can be connected in series, increase the voltage to the limit, and then adjust the voltage to the most suitable starting voltage for the entire transmitter through the coil.
Chiba retained 90% of the insulation of the long wire that had been deliberately set aside in the last battery slot, and only cut off a small head. As long as this small head is touched with the other head, the whole transmitter will be connected, and the telegram can be sent.
Chiha's fingernails gently pushed the wire toward the other contact, but stopped halfway through. After hesitation, he pushed the contacts together.
The transmitter is turned on.
Qianyu immediately began to tap the slider rhythmically, and the slider touching the left or right side of the chute determined whether to make a "tick" or a "click". In silence, only the sound of sliders crashing against the end of the chute remains.
(The reason why the power components of the TV itself are not used for power supply is because the entire electronic component system cannot withstand the 200 watts of power of the TV)
