A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 582 Genius or Madman? A Line Apart, It's Up to You to Choose!

"Jiang Xia! Look who's here!"

Jiang Xia, who was dozing in the tent, sat up halfway and looked at Lao Wang who walked in with a sleepy look on his face.

"Hey! You defeated general, why are you so happy?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Besides, there are no losers tonight! We are all witnesses to your successful improvements to the radio station, which is something to be happy about!"

Hey, Old Wang, why are you suddenly singing such high praises? That's rare!

Jiang Xia got up, slowly put on his shoes, and was just about to write a crooked poem to shock this guy who was about to fly to the sky when he saw a puff of smoke coming out from behind Old Wang.

"Hey! Comrade Baoqiang, you really have super hearing! Let me guess, did you hear some unusual signal and track it all the way here?"

Baoqiang exhaled his last breath and walked into the tent.

The lights inside the tent were so bright that his eyes squinted when he took off his sunglasses, and a few tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.

Jiang Xia stared at Baoqiang's eyes, where the whites of his eyes were more than his pupils, and paused for a moment.

He hurriedly put his sunglasses back on, using the action to wipe away a few water droplets from his face. "Baoqiang" then spoke up again in a loud and boisterous manner:

"Kid! You modified the radio without permission. In the past, that would have been a serious crime! Uh, since you helped Jinzhen, let me take a look at the actual device, and we'll let this matter drop!"

"Hehe, the actual items are on them. I have some blueprints, do you want them?"

"What the hell! Don't think I don't know your nickname!"

After hesitating for a moment, Baoqiang simply took off his sunglasses and gave up completely.

"Alright, alright! I bet you saw it too, I'm too lazy to pretend anymore! I'm only half blind, so what!"

"Don't underestimate me! I'm the bureau's 'ears and ears'! I can pick out enemy channels from a bunch of radio stations!"

"You! You dare let me touch it? If you do, I can make the same one later!" Despite Baoqiang's seemingly carefree manner, his voice noticeably softened towards the end, and he paused, as if trying to put his sunglasses back on his eyes.

"Okay! Okay!" Jiang Xia readily agreed and led him to the side of the main radio station.

"Hey, touch the ancestral bronze cauldron first before you touch it, otherwise if you blow up the transistor, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this tent!"

If Baoqiang had been wearing sunglasses, Jiang Xia might have teased him a bit, but who knew that this guy who cares so much about his image would directly expose his shortcomings.

This time, we've hit Jiangxia's weak spot.

This kid already had great respect for all kinds of people in the early stages of development, and now with the added bonus of a disabled person, it's no wonder Jiang Xia would be completely open with his heart.

"Hey, Baoqiang, you can't just touch this thing. Although my grandma's craftsmanship is excellent, these flying threads are really annoying. How about I explain the specific principles to you?"

See, they're even going so far as to explain the underlying principles...

That wasn't all. Jiang Xia then looked at Secretary Liu, who had followed her in.

"Secretary Liu, Baoqiang's situation is special. Anyway, he's been staying in 701 the whole time, so the level of confidentiality should be sufficient, right? As for the regulations and such..."

It has to be said, this is very unlike Jiang Xia. After all, this kid usually doesn't bother to speak in order to conserve his energy, especially on matters of principle like this.

Secretary Liu glanced at Baoqiang and nodded.

"They have someone specifically in charge over there, so let's make an exception this time!"

Hehehe...

Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Baoqiang rolled his eyes smugly. He then strained his eyes to examine the spiderweb-like circuit board.

For the first time, I'm not so annoyed by my own flaws...

Xiao Jiang is a good comrade! If he could have another No. 13 cigarette, that would be perfect!

Baoqiang stubbed out his rolled cigarette, looking slightly regretful.

……

"How about it! This digital radio is great, isn't it? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. Once we integrate power and add automatic frequency tuning and data transmission, it will be a complete system!"

"Oh? Could you tell me what automatic frequency tuning is?"

Just as Jiang Xia was feeling smug, a slightly panting voice came from behind.

Jiang Xia didn't think much of it; the soldiers participating in the exercise were probably just tired from running and also feeling resentful. Yeah! Anyone would find it unpleasant to listen to a bunch of buzzing sounds while searching for the radio.

"This comrade has hit the nail on the head! Let's delve deeper into the basics of this radio station, since you are the users. I'll start by sharing my initial thoughts, and we'll see if they're correct. If not, you can add to them!"

"OK?"

"Yes!"

The voices of everyone present were loud and clear...

Oh my, it has to be the people in the team! This kind of uniformity is just too emotionally impactful!

Jiangxia was quite the show-off; he pulled over the map board that was now standard equipment in every camp tent, flipped it over, and started writing and drawing on it.

Jiang Xia, engrossed in his training, didn't notice Lao Wang's frantic, alerting gaze. "Bro, a big shot's here! I'm practically saluting!"

Unfortunately, Jiang Xia, who was already in the zone, paid no attention to this. He just wanted to use this opportunity to ignite a spark of informatization for his comrades!

……

"You've all experienced the most basic functions of digital radio. Who can tell me what your first impression was?"

"It's awful! Engineer Jiang, if I hadn't listened to it for a couple of minutes in the tent, I would have thought you guys were messing with us! What radio station sounds like birdsong all the time!"

"Hahaha, what you're experiencing now is the first layer: digital encryption. With this function, the enemy isn't immune to cracking it, especially if they have the corresponding..."

Jiang Xia explained things as simply as possible so that everyone present could understand what this digital encryption was all about.

Don't underestimate the people who participated in this small exercise; they were all the elite members of the team. In that era, someone who could carry a radio and launch a surprise attack was no ordinary person!

“Jiang Gong, we understand the basic situation. Although we know that this encryption is difficult for the enemy to crack, we need to consider the worst-case scenario. What if... what if there is a traitor among us! And the key information such as the encryption format you mentioned is leaked? What should we do then?” The panting voice continued to ask.

However, Jiang Xia, who had already become rational, was too lazy to find out who it was.

"Good question! Due to the current level of integration of microcontrollers, they cannot use higher-level encryption methods, which is why we need to add the frequency hopping technology I mentioned earlier!"

"That's my idea! The radio will randomly switch between several different frequencies, making it impossible for the enemy to detect all the calls or completely jamming them! That way, it's double insurance!"

"But I'm still a complete novice when it comes to communications! That's where... Baoqiang! Baoqiang! Aren't you a radio expert? Tell me, can you achieve this kind of function?"

Out of his usual pragmatism, Xiao Dai Mao really didn't understand how to switch frequencies, but he did hear someone in later generations say that military radios had this technology.

I didn't expect Baoqiang to be so decisive!

Hearing Jiang Xia's question, he stood up and rolled the whites of his eyes at everyone without any hesitation.

"Yes! I had already thought of a way, but it was too complicated. Actually, using your modem can achieve this initial goal!"

"Huh? Modems have this capability?" Jiang Xia didn't understand, but was greatly shocked. Dude, are you blind? How come you talk about radios so knowledgeably?

"Hehehe! Kid, you still have a lot to learn! You're great at inventing! But when it comes to expansion, you can't keep up with us!"

Baoqiang then pulled out a large cigarette, lit it triumphantly, and the cigarette emitted thick black smoke.

"You forgot about the frequency shift keying and phase shift keying your modem uses? These two functions allow for fast frequency tuning!"

"If you can do it, then you do it!" Jiang Xia handed over the charcoal pencil.

Sunglasses-wearing Baoqiang, like a locomotive, continued to move forward, billowing black smoke.

"Come! Watch carefully!"

……

Damn it! What kind of monsters does 701 spawn?! First there's Jin Zhen, the humanoid computer; then there's Fatty, the programming genius. And now, Baoqiang, the wireless freak?!

Oh my god, is Wi-Fi going to appear ahead of schedule?

Seeing the pile of data written down by Brother Baoqiang, Jiang Xia also became a good boy, copying and studying it along with many other commanders and soldiers...

Our glorious China, may our nation prosper!
