A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 577 The Mini-Drill Begins!

"Radish, radish, I'm a green pepper, I'm a green pepper, I'm in this cornfield in front of you!"

"Green pepper, green pepper, it's me, Luobei, it's me, Luobei! I'm in the woodpile behind you! We've been here for quite a while, should we move?"

"No need! In my experience, staying in one place is better than running around! If we run around, we'll just look like Little Gray Wolf in the snow!"

"Little Gray?"

"Hehe, Xiao Jiang's sister gave me a leg, it smells so good!"

"Oh...it's for eating! I thought the little girl liked animals, that's why she brought it with her!"

Inside the tent, there was a main receiving station, and the voices of two soldiers were constantly coming from the receiver.

Hearing them start discussing Little Grey, Jiang Xia slowed down her packing. She beckoned to Jiang Dong, who was nestled in his grandmother's arms, curiously poking at the horn with his finger.

Jiang Dong casually reached into his pocket, but what he pulled out was half of a small gray head...

Forget it, I'm not cut out for it...

While Lao Wang and the others were busy, Jiang Xia cut off some more meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

It's delicious, smooth like jelly, but the quantity seems a bit small. If I could have a little bit whenever I'm doing simulations...

Jiang Xia planned to get some of these things and put them in his space, but he didn't know how to care for them.

At the very least, you should prepare a water tank. If you just put it straight into a storage room full of blueprints, even if it's a rare and precious creature, it will die!

"Radish, radish! Are we still going to talk?"

"Headquarters, Headquarters, this isn't fair! If we just keep talking, wouldn't it be so easy to find them?"

"Headquarters! Headquarters! Has the search team set off yet? It's freezing cold here!"

The loudspeaker at the main radio station occasionally crackled with the sounds of communication between stations…

The instructor standing in front of the radio was speechless. Why did they choose these two chatterboxes...?

Having seemingly memorized the regulations, the regimental commander, who had been ushered into the tent by Secretary Liu, quickly waved his hand: "Hey! These are your requests! Didn't you say you wanted to find two gossipy guys to test the radio's security?"

"Tsk, it's not that they can't do it, it just feels like they're being a bit pessimistic..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dong rolled his eyes, skipped over to the instructor, and pointed to the microphone.

The instructor chuckled and picked her up. The girl wasn't shy at all; she immediately pressed the call button into the microphone.

"Uncles, you'd better hide well! After you win, I'll roast Little Grey's relatives for you!"

Suddenly, a wailing voice came from the radio's loudspeaker: "What little girl? Just you wait, your uncle's skill in lying on ice and eating snow is top-notch. Your rabbit is definitely ours, but we won't take too much. We'll eat it together!"

What? I'm just lying here taking a nap, and those stupid birds searching for me can't find me. Wait till Uncle brings you a whole nest of little gray birds back...

These words made Jiang Dong giggle, and she squirmed restlessly in the instructor's arms.

Sigh, I don't know what kind of magic Jiang Dong has, but everyone in the team adores her. Even those who are meeting her for the first time seem to be under her spell...

However, if those two gossipy guys knew that the search team had a killer like Company Commander Tang, would they regret saying such boastful things?

"Search team! Ready to go!"

Old Wang gestured to Jiang Xia, revealing an impatient expression.

"Search Team Two! Ready to go!"

Company Commander Tang also raised his hand in response.

"Alright, let's go! Remember, this verification can only be conducted using the listening devices you have. Uh... Company Commander Tang, I have a feeling that it's a bit unfair of you to be doing this, isn't it?"

Jiang Xia carefully wound up the soldering iron's connecting wires, looked at these elite soldiers, and reiterated the rules of this exercise once again.

"Don't worry! Since this is a test of the radio station's security, I won't care if they crawl right under my nose, unless I find their location using listening devices!"

Company Commander Tang waved his hand with a smile and skillfully fiddled with the small radio on his vest.

Seeing that Jiang Xia nodded in agreement, the two groups immediately rushed out.

What has happened here?

It turns out that with the help of the super craftsman Teacher Guo, none of the three sets of boards that Lao Wang brought back from the Academy of Sciences were wasted.

Yes, three sets!

A strange trend has emerged in various research institutes: if a newly developed object doesn't have a corresponding backup, it's considered unlucky. So now, they make three sets of prototypes as backups...

Thus, these three sets of super-flying wire version microcontrollers became three sets of "simplified digital radio stations"!

Adhering to a pragmatic principle, Jiang Xia also explained to everyone why they didn't make a single-board computer but instead switched to a microcontroller.

"Although this microcontroller can only be used for specific control tasks and its functions are relatively fixed, it is still fine to use it to perform front-end tasks of the demodulator!"

"After all, the program I had someone develop is a portable program based on the C language environment, and the current microcontroller architecture can run it. However, we still need to pay attention to the ambient temperature during use, and it cannot exceed the limit of 150 degrees Celsius. This requires our operators not to keep the machine on for extended periods of time..."

"Also, this thing that I call a 'digital radio-like device' can only implement incomplete encryption technology at present. If we had a single-board computer, then perhaps even the main function of FM could be implemented."

At this point, Xiao Dai Mao clicked his tongue regretfully. Although this radio station could use digital signals to achieve a data transmission rate of 3600-8400bps, the inherent technological advantages of digital signals also made a lot of those harsh noises dissipate.

During the test call, Jiang Xia felt that the call quality was about the same as the enhanced version of the wired phone in his own office at the comprehensive machinery factory, but the inability to tune the frequency and the lack of location tracking still left him feeling disappointed.

If only that old veteran who could broadcast "The East Is Red" could be floating in the sky sooner, then, with the help of digital radios that could use single-board computers, the scouts wouldn't even need to talk to each other. Just transmit a directional number, and the artillery positions would receive the order...

Then, a barrage of cannon fire—ah, just thinking about it is wonderful!

However, this rather technical knowledge made everyone's eyes light up with mosquito coil circles.

In the end, Grandma clapped her hands and said, "Whether it works or not, you'll only know after you try it!"

Everyone agreed!

However, everyone had different opinions on how to try it.

Just then, Jiang Dong, that carefree fellow, ran in to deliver some roasted little gray creature—who knows which generation it was—to his grandmother. "Grandma! Come and eat! This little guy can play hide-and-seek with me! Third Brother and I ran halfway up the mountain to find him!"

He does not mean that.

Didn't the political instructor just complain about those guys in the missile battalion who revealed his location through a phone call?

Now that we have new guys, why don't we just find two soldiers to carry radios out and find a place to hide, and then have some people come and use listening devices to find their location?

If they found it, then the veterans were truly remarkable.

If you can't find it, then even if the little ahoge is amazing!

Thus, the scene described above occurred.

Among the instructors, the two most troublesome ones were selected. Jiang Xia glanced at them and thought, "Hey, isn't this the guy who said he was going to teach me a lesson?"

Hehe, don't think I didn't hear you just because you're far away. Kid, you better hide well, or we'll settle all the old and new scores together!
