Chapter 30: A Radio Wave
Los Angeles is in chaos, with corpses and burning buildings littering the streets.
Looting, smashing, and the death-like figure of the T400 give the city a touch of apocalypse.
Wang Wuyun, Wang Lingfeng, and Lao Huang left the shelter, walked through the chaotic and dangerous city, and headed towards the place Lao Huang said.
The place where there is a transmitter is on a small island in Los Angeles near Ranchopatis, which is about 30 kilometers away from Ranchopatis.
According to Lao Huang, when he was installing satellite video equipment, he had been to that small island, and there lived a radio engineer on that small island before, and that engineer had a collector's habit, and he had seen several transmitters in the engineer's warehouse, which could still be used.
And to get from the sanctuary to the middle school in Ranchopatis, they had to go back, back to Santa Monica Beach, along the strip along the shoreline, all the way southeast, through Calfee and El Segundo, to Manhattan Beach, and from Manhattan Beach to Ranchopatis, and then get a boat from the dock in Ranchopatis, to get to the island.
Wang Wuyun just estimated the distance between the island and the place where the Destroyer of Civilization appeared before, and found that this distance was just beyond the range of the Destroyer of Civilization's electromagnetic roar, and if there was a transmitter on the island, it should still be usable.
The road is full of dangers, not to mention the T400 that wanders the city, and the neighborhoods it has to pass through, which has already become chaotic and dangerous.
And to traverse such a long distance, the only means of transportation that can be found is bicycles.
Wang Wuyun originally didn't want Lao Huang to go, but Lao Huang insisted on going together, and Lao Huang's reasons were irrefutable.
"Even if you find a transmitter, will any of you use it?"
Wang Wuyun can't use a transmitter, Wang Lingfeng doesn't use a transmitter, and Lao Huang can.
Why did Lao Huang do it, because he was a student of the last telegraph class of a post and telecommunications school somewhere in China, and when he was in China, the place where Lao Huang worked was the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
In the end, Wang Wuyun and Wang Lingfeng asked Lao Huang to wear body armor and a bulletproof helmet before leaving the shelter.
As for Wang Wuyun and Wang Lingfeng, naturally there is no need to say much, they are fully armed, like special combat soldiers on duty.
Wang Wuyun and Wang Lingfeng escorted Lao Huang, Wang Wuyun looked at the map and led the way, the three of them walked through the chaotic Los Angeles city, and finally it took more than four hours to arrive at Rancho Patis in the afternoon.
"God forbid, it's finally here......" Looking at the dock of Rancho Patis in front of him, Lao Huang's whole body was soaked with sweat, and the whole person had jumped off the bicycle out of breath.
If you come here by running and walking, Lao Huang Road will definitely be tired and paralyzed, but fortunately, the three of them found a shop selling bicycles on the road, and "borrowed" three bicycles from the store, and then rode bicycles, through many dangerous areas, and finally came here.
Now Los Angeles is in chaos, there are gunshots along the way, but it is strange to say, along the way, under the command of Wang Wuyun all the way, except for the tiredness, there is not too much danger, but on the road encountered a group of robbers, Wang Lingfeng shot, and those robbers ran away.
Lao Huang thought it was God's blessing, but he didn't know that all this was the credit of Wang Wuyun.
There are quite a few boats on the dock in Ranchopatis, most of them are private yachts and a few speedboats, if it is a normal time, it must be very lively, but at the moment, there are no people on the dock, it is empty, only the sound of the waves can be heard.
"Let's find a yacht to try first...... Wang Wuyun said.
"Okay!" Wang Lingfeng nodded.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my Lao Huang to have a day on a luxury yacht...... Lao Huang said self-deprecatingly.
The three of them directly found a white yacht, got on the yacht, came to the cockpit of the yacht, and found that the yacht here could not be started at all, and all the electrical equipment on the yacht had also stopped working.
"This is also the area affected by the electromagnetic pulse last night, this yacht can't move, and neither can other yachts and speedboats!" Wang Lingfeng said, "We have to think of a new way!"
"Put the lifeboat on the yacht into the sea and we'll row to that island......"
"That's all there is to it......"
Fortunately, although the yacht can't move, there is a lifeboat on the yacht, Wang Wuyun and Wang Lingfeng directly put the lifeboat from the yacht into the sea, and then the three people got on the lifeboat, Wang Wuyun used two oars alone, in the stern, the pulp was flying, and the lifeboat also moved quickly on the sea.
Boating on the sea is not easy, there is no wind and there are three feet of waves on the sea, and it takes a lot of effort to get the lifeboat moving.
Looking at the speed of Wang Wuyun's rowing, Wang Lingfeng and Lao Huang were secretly frightened, those two oars, in Wang Wuyun's hands, were like two leaves, there was no weight at all, Wang Wuyun slid up, his hands were flying, it was like a machine, and he didn't know how strong Wang Wuyun's hands were.
However, the two of them had seen Wang Wuyun kill the T400 before, and knew that Wang Wuyun was not an ordinary person, so he was psychologically acceptable.
On the way, Wang Lingfeng wanted to exchange with Wang Wuyun several times, but Wang Wuyun refused because he was not tired.
Wang Wuyun rowed the boat continuously for more than three hours, and finally saw the small island that Lao Huang said.
The island is indeed not big, only a few dozen acres, and from a distance, you can see that the island is full of green trees, and there is a building made of stones in the shade of the trees, and there is a windmill-like wind power generation device on the island, which rotates in the sea breeze.
The dock on the island is very simple, there is a small speedboat on the pier, and after tethering the lifeboat to the pier, the three of them come to the building on the island.
Wang Lingfeng knocked on the door first, but there was no response, and then knocked on the door, but there was still no response inside.
Wang Wuyun lifted his foot and kicked it out, and the door of the room opened.
As soon as the door opened, a foul smell in the room instantly hit his nose, and Lao Huang almost vomited.
"Why does it stink so much?"
"There are corpses here, be careful......" Wang Lingfeng said, holding a gun, and walked into the house first.
As soon as you enter the house, there is the living room, and there is an old-fashioned TV in the living room, which is still on, but the screen of the TV has become a snowflake.
The snowflake on the TV looked at Wang Wuyun and Wang Lingfeng in the eyes, it was like the most beautiful picture in the world, what does this mean, both of them know very well that this small island in the sea is really not affected.
The stench came from a room upstairs, and the three of them went upstairs to check, and found that the bedroom door upstairs was open, and inside the bedroom, there was a corpse that had already decomposed and had grown maggots, the scene was indescribable.
Wang Lingfeng closed the door of the bedroom and looked at Wang Wuyun, "It's an old man, it should have been a few days since he died......"
Lao Huang retched on the side, "This ...... That's the engineer...... When I used to come...... He's the only one living here......"
"Where's the telegraph?" asked Lao Huang.
"Last time I came...... He is seen keeping several of his collection of telegraph and vintage record players in his study...... Just under the bookshelf in the study......" Lao Huang retched twice as he said, and pointed to a room at the end of the aisle, "That...... It's the study!"
The three of them came to the study, pushed open the door of the study, and sure enough, they saw that in addition to some books, there were also a lot of strange old things in the study.
Lao Huang came to a bookshelf, tore off a piece of flannel covering the bookshelf, and then suddenly shouted, "Here, this is ......"
Under the flannel, a row of telegraphs was placed.
Some of those telegraphs looked very old, like those spy movies from World War II, and some of them looked very new, especially the ones that were placed at the back of the bookshelf.
Lao Huang came to the front of a telegraph, wiped it with his hand, and blew it, but there was only a fine layer of dust on the outside of the telegraph, and under the dust, the yellow-green shell of the telegraph was still shiny.
The telegraph machine had a metal casing, and when you opened the box-like metal casing, it looked like a typewriter magnified several times, and it didn't look rudimentary, but like a complex mechanical tool, and it looked heavy.
"Is this the one?" Wang Wuyun asked.
"That's it, this telegraph is the latest here, good guy, it's still Kluge Electronics, you can use ......it when you connect it to the power," Lao Huang's tone unconsciously became a little excited, "Be careful, this thing is a bit ...... heavy"
Wang Wuyun took the telegraph out from under the bookshelf, then came to the desk in the study, swept all the clutter on the desk, and then put the telegraph on it.
As soon as the thing was placed, Lao Huang turned on the thing, plugged it in, and began to turn it back and forth between the buttons.
Just a minute later, Wang Wuyun saw a few red lights on the machine, and the transmitter made a dripping sound, Lao Huang turned his head and licked his lips, "It's ready to use......
"Where can I still receive telegrams in China now?" Wang Lingfeng asked.
"The post and telecommunications systems of several large cities in China still have the ability to receive and receive telegrams, and the rest are the military communications departments, emergency rescue departments, and foreign affairs departments of the armed forces, all of which still retain the ability to receive and receive telegrams!" Wang Wuyun replied.
"Where do you want to send it?" Lao Huang asked, "If you don't send the post and telecommunications system, I still remember the frequency and communication code of the post and telecommunications system......
"The post and telecommunications system is too slow, we send it, and they transfer it layer by layer, which is too delayed!" Wang Wuyun said, picked up a pen from the side of the desk, found a piece of paper, and wrote directly on the paper for a while, and then pushed the paper in front of Lao Huang, "Turn on this frequency, and then use this code to send this over......"
Lao Huang just looked at the piece of paper handed over by Wang Wuyun and recognized that the frequency on the paper was the frequency of the frequency segment of the domestic military telegraph, and the code was also something he had never seen......
......
A few minutes later, a radio wave crossed the Pacific Ocean and appeared in a certain confidential department of the Huaxia National Military Department.
The content translated on the radio wave shocked everyone, and then the message was presented to the decision-makers as quickly as possible.
