Chapter 57 Red and White Machine

The shielding effect of Radio Europe's blowout signal on African radio stations lasted for a long time, almost until the end of the game the next day. At that time, there were few African radio stations that were already very rare, except for some very powerful technology and very well-equipped ham. In addition, only a few lucky hams captured the words of several African countries, and most of them returned in no success.

Many experienced hams had little hope for the coefficient score of African countries. After several times of luck and found that it was not good, they simply spent their energy on obtaining the basic score. After all, it is relatively easy to get the basic score, and more than a dozen basic scores can also be equivalent to a coefficient score, which is more reliable.

In the tense game, two days passed in a blink of an eye.

In these two days, most people are still as usual, leaving early and returning late. They don't know at all that in these two days, a huge amount of radio waves have emerged around them, and they don't know the boy who stays at home every day. In these two days, he may have been with dozens of people around the world. People from hundreds of countries have been connected.

This is a global feast that only hams can enjoy, which is also the charm of radio waves.

In these two days, those players who really participated in the competition exhausted most of their energy. Many people immediately fell asleep on the floor in front of the radio station at the end of the game. As for the result, let's wait until they wake up.

Lin Hong needed to go to school on Monday, so he stopped the game before eight o'clock. From Saturday to Sunday, there were a total of 48 hours. His actual participation time was about two-thirds, and some time was delayed due to meals and rests.

Lin Hong is just trying the game, and he doesn't have to get a lot of good results. He was well prepared in the early stage and took it seriously during the game, which is the basic respect for the game. As for the final result, we have to wait until at least a month later.

Another thing he has to do is to sort out the previously recorded game records and mail them to the organizer, American CQ Magazine. According to OH3LUS, in fact, it is best to use a computer to submit electronic records in a way called "network".

However, this method is obviously unrealistic for Lin Hong. He has never even seen a computer, let alone "network". At this time, Lin Hong is just a vague concept of computers. As for what "network" is, he understands it this way: computers are equivalent to telephones, and many "phones" are connected to form a "network". In the mouth of OH3LUS, "network" is a very powerful thing that can do a lot of exciting things, even more wonderful than radio.

Lin Hong can't submit electronic file records, so he has to use the paper documents used by his predecessors to submit them and mail them by international mail. Of course, it costs a lot of postage.

After breakfast, Lin Hong went to school with Sun Wu.

On Saturday the day before yesterday, Sun Wu went to Dongling City and stayed at Xiaopang's house for one night. He didn't come back until yesterday afternoon.

"Hongzi, it's a pity that you didn't go this time." Sun Wu shook his head regretfully, "I went to Xiaopang's house. Shit, that boy is so happy. The room is full of all kinds of toys, several submachine guns, and such a big transformer model..." Sun Wu gestured with both hands.

From childhood to age, his toys are dancing knives and sticks, and Lin Hong's toys are all kinds of electronic components. Compared with Pan Pan, it is simply one heaven and one earth, and there is no comparison at all.

However, Lin Hong, who has been very precocious since he was a child, is not interested in these toys at all. It is no exaggeration to say that such a thing, as long as conditions permit, he can make a better one by himself. In his opinion, toys need to be made by hand to be interesting. Just like he used to make ore radios, and now he plays amateur radios.

He planned that when conditions allowed, he would make a computer to play by himself.

Sun Wu saw that Lin Hong was indifferent and expected it. He continued, "Let me tell you, in addition to those toys, Xiaopang also has a game console at home. Such a small box can be directly plugged into the TV to play games. The games in it are very interesting. Yesterday, I played this at his house all day."

"Oh?" Lin Hong suddenly became interested, "Tent me in detail, what does it look like?"

"About...about a little smaller than the washbasin, square, with two palm-sized rectangular handles next to it, which can operate the game. By the way, because its color is mainly composed of white and red, Xiaopang calls it a red machine." Sun Wu slapped him and remembered the name of the game console.

"Red and white machine?" Lin Hong's face showed a loss. He thought it was a computer.

He is always thinking about the computer now. He has imagined the composition and shape of the computer countless times in his mind.

"Yes, it is a kind of home game console produced in Japan, which can be directly connected to the TV, and the volume is not large. When will I try to get one to play... but the price is a little expensive. However, Xiaopang said that it seems that such game consoles have also appeared in China, and the price is much cheaper. Sun Wu's eyes showed his yearning, as if he had seen such a game console placed in his home.

"Did you go to his uncle's room?" Lin Hong still asked with a little ulterior motives.

"His little uncle?" Sun Wu shook his head, "His uncle didn't live with them. It seems that he rented it outside. I haven't seen him for two days.

After saying that, Sun Wu began to tell Lin Hong in detail about the games he played in the red and white machine. Lin Hong stopped thinking about the computer and listened carefully to Sun Wu's description. He also roughly had a vague impression that the red and white machine should be a simplified version of the arcade machine, replacing the monitor with a TV, and then integrating the motherboard and so on in a small box. The joystick is replaced with a handle.

Listening to Sun Wu's explanation, Lin Hong sincerely admires those who invented game consoles and games to make such magical things through circuits. These things do not seem to exist in nature, and they are completely created from nothing.

It seems that this is also a special type of computer. Lin Hong thought so.

His yearning for computers can't help but become more urgent.
