Doomsday rat

Chapter 9 World Class Disaster

Hong Tao ate as fast as ever, and ate half a bowl more than usual.Although I didn't do much physical work this morning, I was afraid and used my brain to consume energy. There are more things to do in the afternoon, and I have to feed my stomach first.

"Come on..." Putting down his rice bowl, seeing that Chu Qiu was still feeding rice grain by grain into his mouth, Hong Tao simply pulled a few pieces of meat into the bowl, pulled the woman to get up and walked into the yard.

"Crack...crack...crack..." He walked to Chu Xia with his rice bowl, and the stainless steel spoon was bitten by it before it was brought to his mouth. It was so powerful that he couldn't pull it out at all.

At this time, it can be clearly seen that two teeth have been bitten, but it doesn't seem to know the pain, and it still uses all its strength to bite the spoon without letting go, but it doesn't care about the meat in its mouth.

In order to let Chuqiu give up, Hong Tao went to the refrigerator to get a small piece of raw meat, and sent it to Chuxia's mouth with the signature of the kebab.Unfortunately, Chu Xia still took a bite, neither chewing nor swallowing, but biting fiercely.

"You see, she should not need to eat. You think, there is no blood in a person's body. Even if the stomach can digest, how can nutrients be transmitted? This problem will be faced sooner or later. I can not force it, but you must Think clearly, think about it a day earlier, and get rid of it a day earlier. No one can escape the normal feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death. Thinking more about how to live in the future is the best thing to do now."

Seeing her sister's performance, Chu Qiu felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help crying again.Hong Tao can only put the facts and reason again, and it doesn't matter if he can listen to them or not.

With or without this woman to accompany me, I will live the same life. If she is too obsessed, I can only say sorry. You walk on your single-plank bridge, I walk on my Yangguan Road, and no one will get in your way.

Now I have to do a very, very important thing, and then judge the impact of the mutant monster on the world based on the results of this.If the outbreak is only in a local area, then stay at home and wait for rescue. At most, make a short-term plan of about half a year, and many problems do not need to be considered.

If the whole world is affected, you have to plan according to the worst case, no longer need to follow various laws and regulations, everything can survive as a guideline, and use any means.

After seeing her sister's condition in Chuqiu, she really considered the landlord's words seriously. She can't say that her mood has improved, but she is no longer so restless.

Human beings have a gift that is stronger than all animals, and that is the ability to adapt.If an animal living in the tropics is sent to a large forest in Finland by plane, it is likely to be unable to adapt for a long time, even refuse to eat, and eventually starve to death.

But people don't. When you are hungry and your life is threatened, as long as you have the basic conditions, you can immediately find a way to feed yourself, get rid of the danger as much as possible, and then think about the next meal and what to eat next time.Sustaining life will become the highest human instinct, no one.

She also got busy after eating. She took out the beef from the freezer as instructed by the landlord, put it in the oven to thaw it, cut it into small pieces and blanched it with water, removed the foam, and put various seasonings on it to simmer.

After I was busy with all this, I remembered that I had never seen the landlord, so I hurriedly looked around, and finally found it on the roof.At this time, Hong Tao was assembling something with some long metal poles. The base of the thing was actually fixed on the gable of the North House, much like a large lightning rod.

And there is not one lightning rod, there is also one on the gable wall of the west house and the east house, but it is not as high as the north house.There are also three thin copper wires connected between the three lightning rods, and the tallest one is almost three or four times the height of the main house.

"Brother Hong...I've stewed all the meat...Is this a new weapon?" Although Chu Qiu didn't know what the landlord was doing, he knew that this thing was definitely not a lightning rod, it should be related to dealing with monsters.

"Weapons? Hehehe... Come and help me and then... Oh, what are you hiding from, don't be afraid, you'll know what this is right away!"

Hearing Chu Qiu's question, Hong Tao laughed and almost rolled off the roof.Well, watch too many sci-fi movies, everything is a weapon.If I hold a pole and shout I am Ciri, will I transform into a superhero with a laser sword?

"This is... the antenna of the radio!" In early autumn, he quickly guessed what the three lightning rods and the thin copper wires that were pulled diagonally in the middle were used. Pulled out a radio, was turning the knob and listening.

That's right, she just moved out. She had never seen such a big radio. It was almost the size of an old-fashioned computer monitor. Except the panel was covered with wooden shells, and the battery was outrageous. It was a 12V battery used on an electric bicycle. .

"Not really, it's a full-band radio, and I'm looking for AM radio. With this antenna, I can receive A-class AM radio stations around the world. Don't look bad, it's better than most modern radios. stronger."

Hong Tao didn't immediately explain what this antenna was for, because Chu Qiu couldn't understand it.The thing composed of three lightning rods and thin copper wire is called a dipole antenna, which is used to receive short-wave radio.If you disconnect the two short lightning rods, it's a 15 meters high mast AM antenna.

What is this thing for?Of course, the medium wave antenna receives the medium wave signal, and the broadcast signals of all countries in the world basically have the medium wave band.Shortwave antennas naturally receive radio shortwave signals. There is a thing called a radio. That's right, it's the thing that the agents tick tock in the movie.

It is called a short-wave radio. In theory, as long as there is an antenna with strong directivity and a good enough impedance, it can communicate with all short-wave radio stations on the earth by using ionospheric reflection, and there is no distance limit.

Of course, this is only theoretical. Due to the existence of N electromagnetic interference around the city, for example, a charging pile that is charging an electric vehicle can increase the noise floor received by a nearby short-wave radio station within [-] meters. Also inaudible.

There is nothing wrong with playing ham in China, as long as you get a license, but there is a big problem with using high-power radios and setting up large antennas without permission.If you take it lightly, it is called ignorance of the law, and if you take it seriously, it is a conspiracy.

As the restrictions became more and more strict, Hong Tao didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he sealed up this set of things and hadn't touched it for a long time.

No one cares now, right?If I had known today, I should have ordered a 30-meter-high antenna rack, and had to find a more than 20-story tower to buy a house on the top floor, and put the antenna directly on the top of the building, making it the tallest in China. Private High Power Radio Station!
It's a pity, even if there is such a preparation, there is nothing to brag about now.It is estimated that most of the people in the ham circle have become monsters. No one applauds them. Even if the antenna is installed on the moon and becomes the world's tallest, who will show off!
"...You've worked so hard just to listen to foreign broadcasts!" This explanation made Chuqiu a little angry. Who are they? How to survive now is the problem. In the mood to listen to the radio?
"I said, can you cover up your prejudice against me a little bit, why do you think bad things about me?" Hong Tao was even more unhappy. He was really long-haired and short-sighted, and he was always self-righteous. So a little bit big.

"Then, are you planning to call for help!?" After being criticized, Chu Qiu's mind seemed to understand a little, and he immediately thought of a more positive possibility.

"If I can receive the broadcast signal, I can use this toy to call for help to the outside world. Unfortunately, after two laps, I didn't receive a single medium wave signal. Do you know what this means?"

Hong Tao patted the shortwave radio station on the other side of the stone table, confirmed Chu Qiu's guess, and made the woman's eyes light up again.Then the conversation changed, and this hope was extinguished again.

"...Could it be that the world has become like this!" What does it mean? Even if he didn't even know what medium wave and short wave were in early autumn, he could come up with a generally reliable answer.

No matter at home or abroad, broadcast signals are always available every day. If they are gone, it can only mean one thing. The people who operate these devices are not at work.What caused an entire important industry in the world to suddenly stop working? Looking at my sister who is still hanging under the corridor, the answer comes out.
