Erosion

Chapter 31
Seeing the narrow screen light up, Huo Qiyong was so amazed 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 the first paging station in China, and BP machine entered China.After the evolution of analog BP machine→digital BP machine, Chinese character BP machine→mobile phone, MSN and other instant messaging tools.A pager is a user receiver in a radio paging system.It usually consists of superheterodyne receiver, decoder, control part and display part.It selects the useful signal to be received from the paging signal and interference transmitted by the base station, restores the original baseband signal for paging the machine, and generates sound (or vibration) and displays digital (or alphabetic, Chinese character) messages.The automatic paging station automatically finds out the paging person's phone number according to the line number of the incoming call and sends it out at the same time, so that the paged person knows which phone is paging.

BB machine - how to use
If you want to find person A, but you are not at home.

Just call the pager,

Say A, return the call quickly or something.

After A sees it, he will call you back through a public phone or the like.

Zhang Wanqiu didn't know this thing, thought it was the same as a mobile phone, and could directly send text messages, and quickly searched for the phone in the jacket, "I saved Dr. Wei's phone number."

Geng Jianghui frowned suddenly: "No, this requires a paging station to send a message, Director Huo... Can you find a place to record the paging station number?"

It is impossible for Wei Yuan to only give a pager without a pager.

This is not like the style of a rigorous scientific research institute.

This baffled Huo Qiyong again, he didn't understand any of the terms the dean said, what kind of paging station, where did he find the number?
Huo Qiyong could only pick up the cowhide envelope again, turn it over to look at it, and look inside the envelope again.

Suddenly his eyes widened.

There were several numbers written with a marker pen inside the envelope, and he read it several times before confirming that it was 127.

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

In fact, the relationship between the research institute and Songshan Hospital has always been delicate, and the two parties have always maintained a clear state of separation for the sake of balance.

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

Huo Qiyong looked suspiciously at the machine in his hand, barely calling it a machine, there is not even a letter button on it, how to send a message?
Geng Jianghui directed to 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 is in the envelope.

"Can the walkie-talkie make calls?" Huo Qiyong was surprised, isn't this thing only for internal communication?
Geng Jianghui had a headache, how could he explain to the group of post-00 juniors beside him that this was actually a product of the 1G era, and that he was really older than them.He sighed and said, "That's big... forget it, just do as I tell you!"

Huo Qiyong picked up the "walkie-talkie" and pressed the three numbers 127 on it. After a burst of noise, a cold and friendly electronic voice came: "Hello, please tell me what you need to call."

Huo Qiyong was so excited, oh my god, he actually got through: "Hi, this is Songshan Hospital, we are in trouble..."

The electronic voice paused: "Unrecognizable, please repeat the content that needs to be paged."

"Quickly contact the Beijing-Hong Kong Guards, come quickly!"

"Unrecognizable, please repeat the content that needs to be paged."

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

"Unrecognizable, please repeat the content that needs to be paged."

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

Geng Jianghui immediately understood that this should be the electronic paging station left by Wei Yuan, and it should have activated an automatic answering program, and Dean Geng calmed down.

That's right, how can there be a manual paging station now, and the BB machine can't transmit too complicated content.

Geng Jianghui stared at the monitor with complicated eyes.

"Director Huo, do as I tell you."

Since the paging station can get through, it means that Wei Yuan has already made preparations for leaving this machine, but the temporary automatic paging station must not have time to perfect its functions, and it must only be able to deal with the simplest situations.

-

Wei Yuan is currently in a suburban experimental field ten miles away. A meeting room temporarily set up by a scientific research institute has been set up here. The air in the meeting room is full of tension. The high-level officials are discussing the feasibility of the mass evacuation plan.

"The speed of 'erosion' is obviously much faster than we imagined. We must quickly make an evacuation plan. If it continues, I don't know how many people will be affected..."

"Minister Zhao, a large-scale evacuation will first cause panic and riots. The population of Beijing and Hong Kong is 90. Our first batch of experimental evacuation plans have already encountered more difficulties than before. We all know how many riots have occurred in various neighborhoods." ?"

"Then do we have to wait for more and more serious consequences to happen?..."

The high-level officials were arguing with each other, and the whole conference room was on edge. No one could convince anyone, and the result was that the quarrel continued.

A burst of clear electronic music sounded around, this voice was so discordant, it suddenly silenced all the voices speaking.

"Ring ring ring ring ring ring..."

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

Minister Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Dr. Wei, your cell phone?"

What a friendly and distant voice, everyone here has not heard it for a long time.

"Does Dr. Wei's mobile phone still work?" Someone cast an envious look.

Wei Yuan shook his wheelchair backwards, and apologized to everyone: "...I'm sorry."

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

This is not a mobile phone, is it?
Minister Zhao stared, his eyes seemed to fluctuate a little: "This, this is..."

Wei Yuan watched three letters float across the narrow screen of the pager: sos.

The number showed the one he sent to Songshan Hospital before.

Wei Yuan's expression changed.

Then someone coughed twice and said displeasedly: "Dr. Wei, how could you bring some weird things into such an important and serious meeting?"

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

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

Minister Zhao and Wei Yuan happened to be sitting at the end of the meeting. Minister Zhao looked at the silent young man on the other side: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Wei Yuan looked at the three big letters "sos" floating over the pager, and slowly raised his head: "I'm sorry, everyone...I'm afraid something happened to Songshan Hospital."
