As soon as he entered the rest area, he heard Luo Jinxiu waving at him excitedly, and then shouted cheerfully: "Student Qiu, I tell you... the case has been solved!"
"So those flowers were sent by my uncle. I was wondering, I'm such an honest person, how could anyone send me flowers..."
Zhao Jiamin gently pinched her cheek and said, “I don’t know who it was, but he had a long face just now.”
Zhang Peiliang also came over and said, "You even threw your uncle's bouquet of flowers into the trash can..."
Only then did Qiu Huoming realize that the flowers that were originally placed on the inside of the long table were gone.
Luo Jinxiu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just a misunderstanding..."
The faces of the students around him had different expressions. Song Fengwen said in a brisk tone, "It's almost time for lunch. Today is really a leisurely day."
Zhen Xin came over with an English textbook in her hand. "I think we're going to be sent back. We're idle all day, and our usefulness has been greatly reduced."
Qiu Huoming looked at the happy atmosphere at the scene and suddenly didn't want to reveal the truth anymore. The gourd monk judged the gourd case in a muddle-headed way. At least for Luo Jinxiu at the moment, it was a good thing. He would tell her about it later and ask her to be careful.
"It's only a few days away, the organizers shouldn't take any action." Seeing Qiu Huoming there, Zhang Song also squeezed over. Perhaps it was because of his fate that he had a conflict with Luo Jinxiu, he was walking well, but suddenly he stumbled, lost his balance, and bumped into Luo Jinxiu's back.
"Patta" Luo Jinxiu's glasses, which were already one size too large, fell to the ground. Then, Zhen Xin, who was walking over, stepped on them, "crack".
Several people looked at each other, Zhen Xin quickly raised her foot, dodged to the side, and said in surprise: "I didn't mean it!"
Zhang Song silently took a step back, thought about it, and took another step forward, "How much is it? I'll pay you... No, I didn't break it. It wasn't broken when I fell just now..."
Qiu Huoming glanced at him. Logically, there was nothing wrong with this sentence, but it was really annoying to say it at this moment.
It seems that Luo Jinxiu has been unlucky recently.
Zhao Jiamin bent down and picked up the glasses. The frame was broken and the lenses were cracked, but they were not falling apart.
Luo Jinxiu was in a good mood at the moment, and didn't look at them, "Alright, alright, spend money to avoid disaster, you didn't do it on purpose."
She turned her head and looked at Zhao Jiamin, "Where's my water?"
Zhao Jiamin put the broken glasses on the table and reached out to pick up the cup. "Since you are blind, I will serve you well..."
Li Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue, "He is a rich man after all."
Zhang Song heard it, and he turned around and said angrily: "Don't talk about people behind their backs. Also, were you the one who pushed me just now?"
It is certain that Zhang Song has low emotional intelligence. He is a straightforward person. He cannot be said to be a bad person, but he has a weird temper.
Qiu Huoming turned to look at Li Xiaoyue. This girl and Zhen Xin went to the same high school before going to college, and they had a close relationship.
"Don't frame me. Why would I push you?" Li Xiaoyue said unwillingly.
Zhang Song was speechless for a moment. He looked at Li Xiaoyue and the other two boys next to them.
There is indeed no evidence in this matter. There are three people behind him, and all of them are suspects.
The two boys were from the Foreign Languages College. The tall and thin one with glasses was called Liang Wensheng, and the shorter one with fair skin was called Shu Yang.
Liang Wensheng took a step forward and said, "Why are you looking at us? We didn't push anyone. We were just listening to Zhen Xin talking and didn't notice you at all..."
The three of them are all from the Foreign Languages College. They see each other every day. Although their relationship is average, they are closer than others, so it is normal for them to pay more attention to each other.
Zhang Song blushed, and without making any excuses, he simply shook off the crowd and walked out alone...
Qiu Huoming shouted: "It's time for dinner?!"
"Go to the toilet." Zhang Song turned his head and answered, then continued walking forward.
These days, small cliques have formed among several students. Luo Jinxiu is generous, cute, and popular, so everyone likes to get around her.
Zhao Jiamin is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It takes at least ten days or half a month to warm up to her friend.
As for Qiu Huoming, he is a typical E person. He can chat with anyone and please everyone. Among this group of people, he has unknowingly become the backbone.
Liang Wensheng and Shu Yang did not integrate into their small group at the beginning, but kept away from it. It was only in the past two days that they became closer.
Li Xiaoyue walked quickly to Zhen Xin and said, "He just talked about me and you didn't speak up for me." She shook Zhen Xin's arm and said angrily.
Zhen Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Why bother competing with him? He was merciless even to Jinxiu..."
Luo Jinxiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's right, he has said this to me several times."
A few people were chatting when a staff member came over. Liang Wensheng touched his stomach and shouted, "Finally, the meal coupons are issued."
We are young, have fast metabolism, and get hungry at a certain time...
After receiving the meal coupons, they went to the cafeteria first. Qiu Huoming, Zhao Jiamin and Luo Jinxiu waited for Zhang Song there.
Seeing that the group of people had gone far away, Zhao Jiamin approached Luo Jinxiu and said, "Jinxiu, with your personality, I'm afraid you'll be sold out and have to count money for others..."
Luo Jinxiu narrowed her eyes and approached Zhao Jiamin with a smile, "But I'm lucky, I have good friends like you."
Qiu Huoming coughed and said, "Those flowers were not sent by your uncle."
Luo Jinxiu was stunned, "Then..."
"I guess you met Uncle Pan halfway..." Zhao Jiamin glanced at Qiu Huoming.
"You got it right. Amin is really smart. Mr. Luo, you should be more careful. Today's matter will be over if we don't pursue it. You should be more careful in the future."
Luo Jinxiu pouted, "Damn it, if I knew who it was, I would skin him alive..."
"This is a team crime..." Qiu Huoming thought for a moment, then said, "At least two people."
Zhao Jiamin reached out and held Luo Jinxiu, "See if you want to pursue this matter."
Luo Jinxiu's face turned pale. "Forget it. I'll take a leave this afternoon and I won't come for the next few days. Forget about this matter. My uncle has already taken the blame for me. I understand what you mean, but now is not a good time to make it clear..."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "I think so too. The other party has suffered a loss. I think they probably want to reveal the truth, but your uncle's words have shut them up. Let them die of suffocation."
"Puchi" Luo Jinxiu laughed out loud, and her pale face showed some blush.
Zhao Jiamin added: "They planned a carefully planned play, but no one cheered."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "The three of us are very good at imagining things. Hey, Zhang Song is here. Let's go and have some food..."
Zhao Jiamin approached Qiu Huoming and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
"A jealous person, an admirer..." Qiu Huoming sighed, "I don't have any evidence either."
Zhao Jiamin seemed to be thinking about something.
The next day, Luo Jinxiu didn't come. She gave the excuse that she couldn't keep up with her studies and couldn't attend the Canton Fair.
Song Fengwen was the most disappointed. He was a little confused the whole morning and even when Zhen Xin asked him questions, his answers were irrelevant.
Qiu Huoming took some time out in the morning and went into the exhibition to look for Rudy. When he got there, Rudy was leaning against the display cabinet, looking down at a small English booklet.
Qiu Huoming walked over, and he just looked up. Seeing that it was Qiu Huoming, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Dear Qiu, why are you alone today? Where is that beautiful girl?" Rudy put down the booklet, stood up and greeted.
Qiu Huoming had just exchanged a few words with him when he bent down and took out his backpack from the cabinet under the booth.
"The photos from last time have been developed. I developed them myself..." He handed over a 5-inch photo with a bit of pride in his words.
Qiu Huoming took the photo. It was a black and white photo. In the photo, three people were surrounding a computer with a booth in the background.
"Thank you, the photo is very natural and layered. I will keep it." Qiu Huoming carefully put the photo into the textbook.
Rudy stroked his gray beard, put the backpack back to its original place neatly, and asked:
"Are you here today to get the computer for your teacher?"
Qiu Huoming's ears turned slightly red. This sentence made him feel like he owed someone money and didn't want to pay it back.
"My teacher is still waiting for funding from the school. I came here today because I want to ask you something else..."
"Oh, please sit down, let's talk." Rudy stuffed his backpack and turned around to greet him.
The two of them sat under the display case, cross-legged.
"Well, Mr. Rudy, I want to make a few walkie-talkies for me and my friend, so that I can talk to her over long distances..."
"Is it the little girl in the photo?" Rudy asked deliberately, blinking his eyes.
"Well, that's her."
"Young Mu Ai, hahaha..." Rudy laughed like a gossipy old man from the neighborhood, "I understand, I really miss it... I was young once too."
"I wonder what you know about walkie-talkies?" Rudy asked.
"A walkie-talkie uses input and output devices to transmit sound through radio waves, so that people can talk to each other..."
"You are using general concepts," Rudy responded:
"Let me tell you briefly. I started playing with radio as early as 58..."
As he said this, Rudy's eyes lit up, his wrinkles smoothed out, and his face looked younger. Perhaps because these memories of the past were so beautiful, he began to speak in a soft voice.
"Our country opened up the citizens band this year, which is the civilian band, referred to as CB..."
"My father is a truck driver. He has a cool radio. He can always hear the alarm when he is speeding. The drivers use the radio to communicate with each other and cover for each other..."
"I bought a second-hand radio in town. I can use it to listen to weather forecasts, and sometimes I can use it to order food and hotels..."
"But the radio station is not confidential. I can often hear other people chatting at home. It's like they are on another station. Also, the call distance is too short."
Rudy clicked his tongue. "At that time, my beloved girl went to study in another city, and the phone bill was too expensive, so I thought about doing some research on my own. I dismantled my own machine, and secretly dismantled my father's..."
"I increased its frequency to make calls over a wider range... I even sneaked into non-civilian channels..."
"Ahem, these, uh, these can be ignored." Rudy glanced at Qiu Huoming, and seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he continued:
"It's the 80s now. In our country, these walkie-talkies can be easily purchased and there is no need to make them yourself. I'm afraid that the styles of our era are not worthy of you young people..."
Qiu Huoming was embarrassed. It wasn't that he looked down on it, but he simply didn't have it. The gap in technology between the two countries was indeed quite large. "If I...if I want to make it myself, where should I start?"
Rudy smiled and said, "You either have the blueprints or you can disassemble one yourself and I'll tell you what it consists of..."
He spoke slowly. Qiu Huoming took out a pen and paper from his schoolbag and wrote down what he said.
"To put it bluntly, these are the components of a walkie-talkie, but I'm worried that you can't buy the relevant accessories here..."
"There are a lot of related accessories in Hong Kong. I was in transit and stayed in Hong Kong for a few days. I took a look at their electrical appliance store... It was really dazzling."
Qiu Huoming's mind was moved. Didn't Zhao Jiamin's uncle say he would come back for the New Year? He could ask him to bring some accessories with him.
Rudy thought about it, and then said, "When I return home, I will find some drawings for you and send you a few copies."
Qiu Huoming was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Rudy, you've been a great help... I'll pay for the postage."
"You're welcome. You're also my client, aren't you?" Rudy's smile came into view.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Qiu Huoming said goodbye.
In the rest area, Zhao Jiamin was not there. Li Xiaoyue and Zhen Xin were sitting together, whispering to each other.
Girls always have a lot to talk about. Qiu Huoming didn't take it seriously and just sat back in her usual seat.
Zhang Song was reviewing his homework in the corner. When he saw Qiu Huoming coming back, he put away his textbook and walked over.
"They are going to receive a business delegation with quite a lot of people. Director Guo even asked you specifically, have you seen them?" Zhang Song asked after getting closer.
Qiu Huoming shook his head. "Maybe we got lost. Which country are they from?"
"I heard it was from Europe, with both men and women..." Zhang Song pulled out a chair and sat next to him.
As they were talking, Zhen Xin stopped talking to Li Xiaoyue. She stood up, stretched, and said hello to Qiu Huoming, "Sister Jiamin and the others have gone to the exhibition..."
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Got it."
Zhang Song moved his feet, took a step back, stood up and said, "Let's go, we have nothing to do anyway, let's go take a look..."
"Why didn't you go with us just now?" Qiu Huoming asked curiously.
Zhang Song rubbed his hair, "Director Guo didn't choose me..."
Zhen Xin was standing nearby, so she simply pulled Li Xiaoyue to her feet, "Let's go together, I heard that in the last few days, many samples in the display cabinets will be given away or sold at a discount..."
"So good?" Zhang Song asked suspiciously.
"You guys go ahead, I want to read for a while..." Qiu Huoming said with a wry smile: "If I don't read now, I won't be able to keep up."
Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Xinxin, let's go."
Zhen Xin nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Zhang Song stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too..."
Li Xiaoyue ignored him and walked forward with his arm around Zhen Xin. Zhang Song paused, then shamelessly followed him.
Qiu Huoming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them walking away. He looked up what he had just recorded. A simple walkie-talkie was not difficult to make, but the communication range was only a few hundred meters and the quality of sound transmission was poor.
If you are going to do it, do it the best.
Let's take it step by step, starting with the simple ones...
He already has a certain network of contacts in the school, and the paper he sent to Science magazine has not received a response yet. If this one is approved, then his influence will increase...
Qiu Huoming had a vague idea in his mind.
It would be better to... pull this huge behemoth of the Institute of Technology onto your own chariot.
'MIT, Silicon Valley, Zhongguancun...' These words kept jumping around in his mind. These temples in people's minds were not famous from the beginning. They all went through ups and downs before they gained their reputation and status in the future...
Right now the country is in a state of disrepair and there is still time for everything. Qiu Huoming's eyes were dancing with flames of excitement. Since they were going to play, they might as well play it big.
