Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Breakthrough

"嗞, 嗞——; 嗞——; 嗞, 嗞——; 嗞—" This inexplicable short-wave signal echoed not only in Yang Guangyao's ears, but also in the ears of Huang Jingzhi, Ren Sihong, Xu Zhenyu, Guo Yiping and other team members.They were not only moved by the heroic deeds of the revolutionary ancestors, but also excited by the possible impact of this memory.There was silence in the conference room of the archaeological team, people were reminiscing and thinking... However, Associate Professor Guo Yiping has a different view.He first broke the brief silence by saying: "I don't see any necessary connection between this past event and the unfounded copper ball. Maybe it was just an accident."

"I also think it's accidental," Yang Guangyao said softly, but it could be seen from his piercing eyes that his heart was not without excitement. "Similarly, the experience of the pilot Jin Xiang is also accidental. The display of the underground laser detector may not be accidental. The story of the Jintanzi is even more accidental. It is also accidental that Lu Qian happened to encounter the unearthed copper ball." He paused for a moment, and his voice became hasty and forceful: "Inevitability resides in chance. The sum of these many accidental events shows an inevitable result: the copper ball really exists."

Xu Zhenyu was inspired by these philosophical words.He said: "This shows that the copper ball is still emitting radio waves, and the radio waves may contain the codes that were unearthed automatically! We should do it immediately, try to search for this radio wave, and find this radio wave." Professor Huang Jingzhi took off his glasses, wiped them carefully with a flannel cloth for a long time, and then put them on again.His eyeballs rolled behind the lens twice, but he didn't speak.He has long guessed that the reason why the copper ball was unearthed automatically in the Han Dynasty may be because of the nova explosion.But this is just speculation and has no reliable basis.Now, what Jin Xiang told him about his experience, what Yang Guangyao told about the past, and the idea Xu Zhenyu put forward just now, all strongly support his guess.Are you telling me your guesses?No, he felt that it would be imprudent to declare lightly without having sufficient grounds.He thought in his heart that as soon as the equipment from Guangdong arrived, he would start to study and find out the evidence as soon as possible to confirm his conjecture.

Ren Sihong agreed with Xu Zhenyu's opinion. He said to Yang Guangyao: "To search for radio signals, we, archaeologists, historians and astronomy personnel alone are not enough. I think the archaeological team needs to add a few professionals in telecommunications. Configure some related equipment and instruments." Yang Guangyao nodded and said, "I'm going to report to the Provincial Academy of Sciences." After Yang Guangyao left, Huang Jingzhi asked Xu Zhenyu to accompany him to the place where the copper balls were buried, and carefully observed the sintered soil.He also packed a bag of this strange soil in a plastic bag and brought it back.

Yang Guangyao came to the Provincial Academy of Sciences from the Xilingxia archaeological site, found Ke Hua, and reported to him the progress of the work and the urgent problems that needed to be solved.Ke Hua sat forward, leaning forward slightly, with a regretful expression on his face.He said frankly: "Now it is almost the end of the year, and it is very difficult to increase funds. Our hospital is not rich in funds, and you know that. As for the problem of people, it is not a big problem. But there is no funds, no equipment, and now It’s useless to downgrade people. That’s all right, you guys first compile a budget and make a report, and when I review the plan for next year, I will try to add it.”

"A few days ago, Deputy Commander Zhao said that he hoped that we would finish the work before November 10, so that they could complete the installation of the transmission tower and carry out trial operation." Yang Guangyao felt a little embarrassed. The power transmission of the power generation system will be affected." After pondering for a moment, Ke Hua said: "There is another way. I don't know what you have to say. A few days ago, the South China Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology sent a letter saying that they hoped to participate in this archaeological research work, and expressed their willingness to invest in equipment and funds. Give cooperation."

Yang Guangyao said without hesitation: "We welcome them to participate, please contact them as soon as possible." "When there is news, I will notify you. You have to think of a way first." Ke Hua took care. After leaving the Provincial Academy of Sciences, Yang Guangyao remembered that there were some instruments in the experimental hall of the Provincial Science and Technology Museum, and he might be able to borrow them, so he hurried there again. After landing on the temporary wharf at the Xilingxia construction site by hovercraft, Yang Guangyao walked towards the archaeological site briskly.A girl stood outside the pier, looking around with her dark round eyes.When she found Yang Guangyao walking towards her, she stepped forward and asked politely:

"Old comrade, may I ask you, is this the way to the archaeological team?" Hearing this question with a Shanghai accent, Yang Guangyao stopped in his tracks and said, "This is the way." He looked at the Shanghai girl, and saw that she was neither tall nor short, with a plump body and a round, white body. There are two thin lips on the face.He laughed as soon as he spoke, showing two rows of white teeth.It seems to be about twenty-five or six years old.Later, he added: "I'm also going to the archaeological team, you come with me." The Shanghai girl immediately picked up her suitcase, took two steps forward, and walked side by side with Yang Guangyao.Probably because of her thin lips, she speaks very brightly and briskly.

"So, you are also part of the archaeological team?" "yes." "There is a Professor Huang on your team, Professor Huang from Nanshan Tianwenhe?" "Are you here to find him?" "That's what happened," the Shanghai girl smiled again, showing two rows of teeth that were as white as jade. "My name is Yue Jing, and I work at the Guangdong Instrument Research Institute. A few days ago, Professor Huang from your team wrote to our institute, asking us to support a paleomagnetic holographic detector for the archaeological team. The leaders of the institute think this work is very useful. Meaning, send me here too."

"We welcome you very much. Now is the time when we are short of people." Yang Guangyao said happily.At that time, he still didn't know the purpose of Professor Huang wanting this instrument. "Can you search for a short-wave signal for us first, and then detect ancient magnetism?" He told her the ins and outs of the copper ball.Yue Jing immediately became very interested and said that she could give it a try. The road leading to the construction site was full of traffic, and the harsh horns sounded one after another.Yang Guangyao helped her carry the suitcase and walked along a path.

Not long after, they came to the archaeological team.Ren Sihong met Yang Guangyao and said: "Just now Xiakou Airport called, saying that Guangzhou Airport sent an ancient magnetic holographic profile detector, let us pick it up." "I sent it in Guangzhou, I didn't expect it to arrive so soon!" Yue Jing said happily. "Are you..." Huang Jingzhi asked in surprise when he heard Yue Jing's words. Yang Guangyao introduced Yue Jing to everyone, and then said to Professor Huang: "I asked her to help us search for that short-wave signal, and then I will study ancient magnetism with you." Huang Jingzhi originally wanted to explain, perhaps it would be better to detect ancient magnetism first.But he thought again, wouldn't it be great if he could find the short-wave signal first and analyze the password for the automatic unearthing of the copper ball from it.He agreed with Yang Guangyao's opinion. After dinner the next day, Yang Guangyao was surprised to find that Yue Jing not only had a sharp mouth, but also a pair of dexterous hands. She took advantage of Ren Sihong's opportunity to pick up the goods at Xiakou Airport, and bought some electronic components and electric soldering irons in Xiakou.In one day, the receiver and expander in the conference room was converted into a shortwave receiver. Yue Jing smiled brightly: "Captain Yang, my mission has been completed, let's see what to do next!" "You did a good job, but the task has not been completed. You still have to search for that mysterious signal." "I can't monitor it by myself, so I have to monitor continuously day and night." "I asked Ren Sihong and Xu Zhenyu to listen to your instructions. You teach them first. They are young and have a little foundation, so they are sure to learn quickly." "Whether it's commanding or not, the three of us can do it together." "Then I don't care about it, I'll ask you for the result anyway." Yang Guangyao immediately went to find Ren Sihong and Xu Zhenyu. They were playing poker with Huang Jingzhi and Guo Yiping in their dormitory. The table was open, and every time a card was played, it was taken by Xu Zhenyu who was sitting opposite him.Yang Guangyao said with a smile: "You're playing bridge." "You also play bridge?" Xu Zhenyu asked in surprise. "Why not, I'm afraid you are not my opponent yet!" Guo Yiping stood up and insisted on giving him his share of cards to try.Yang Guangyao smiled and waved his hands: "Not only can I not compete with you tonight, but I also want to tear down your platform and drag Ren Sihong and Xiao Xu away. When I have a chance in the future, I invite you to come to my house and have a good time with it for a day." Yang Guangyao gave the task to Ren Sihong and Xu Zhenyu to find Yue Jing. Ren Sihong and Xu Zhenyu hung an antenna outside the tent to monitor the check-in in the first half of the night and the second half of the night, while Yue Jing checked in during the day. Yang Guangyao and other team members often went to the office where the short-wave receiver was placed, and asked with concern if there was any progress, but every time they asked, they got the same answer: "I didn't find it." The arc noise of large electric welding machines on the construction site and the whistling sound of car interference come and go one after another. It is really not easy to find a specific and mysterious signal in this complicated shortwave world. On the afternoon of the third day, Yang Guangyao went to inquire about the situation again. Yue Jing was wearing earphones and adjusting a knob in front of the shortwave receiver.She didn't speak, just smiled and said "I didn't find it". Just as Yang Guangyao was about to turn around, he saw Yue Jing's thin lips closed and her smile disappeared.Those dark round eyes gazed into the distance, as if looking at an imaginary object.Her body was leaning toward the short-wave receiver at a slant, her posture was so unnatural that others seemed to be struggling, but she remained as motionless as a marble statue.Seeing this situation, Yang Guangyao realized what she had discovered, and walked to her side gently. Suddenly, Yue Jing stood up and said loudly: "I heard it, I heard it!" She stuffed the earphone into Yang Guangyao's hand, and Yang Guangyao put it on immediately.His brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were piercing, and the wrinkles on his face became very clear, as if he wanted to show his long experience.He listened to this voice, which he had heard nearly half a century ago, and was very moved.He murmured: "It's like this, it's like this." Yue Jing ran to the outdoor corridor with her dancing steps, and shouted loudly in her soprano voice: "I heard it, I heard it!" Team members flocked to the office, scrambling for earphones.Xu Zhenyu looked at Yue Jing, pointed to the short-wave receiver and said, "Turn on the speaker!" Yue Jing clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Oh, how could I be so happy that I forgot!" As she spoke, she immediately turned on a switch.A very clear voice came from the speaker: "嗞, 嗞——; 嗞——; 嗞, 嗞——; 嗞——…"
