The Second Frequency
The work in the Alpha Research Lab was still going on. After a week of hard work, Xia Fei finally had a good night's sleep in the lounge. The Deathguards from the Assassin Sect had finished their work and were quietly returning. Murati had died in his home, and according to the police's preliminary investigation, the cause of death was suicide. Samsung had officially become part of Quantum Holdings, and Wu Long's campaign had been successful and effective. Xia Fei's mood was a lot better as the good news came one after another.
After a simple wash, Xia Fei put on his white lab coat and left the room, heading for the eighteenth floor. The most important thing at the moment was to study the core technology of the nether bell as soon as possible. According to Xia Fei and Harris's preliminary tests, the communicator used a directional transmission mechanism as the source of transmission and reception. Originally, the signal of the communicator would be transmitted in all directions, seamlessly covering every nook and cranny. The nether bell, on the other hand, was like a bullet aimed at a target, concentrating all its energy at a single point, which was why it could penetrate through layers of obstacles. Xia Fei took a look at the time and saw that it was only five in the morning. It was obvious how hard these young scientists were working and studying.
Along the way, Xia Fei bumped into several researchers who were in a hurry. After greeting Xia Fei, they quickly left, unwilling to waste even a second. Xia Fei took a look at the time. It was only five in the morning, which showed how hard these young scientists were working and studying.
Pushing open the door to the lab, Xia Fei saw that Harris was already there. Xia Fei had spent a lot of effort convincing the stubborn old man to go back and rest, yet he had woken up even earlier than Xia Fei. It was even possible that he had not rested at all.
Turning his head to look at Xia Fei, Harris's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely agitated.
Youre just in time; Ive just made a shocking discovery, Harris said anxiously.
Xia Fei poured himself a cup of coffee unhurriedly and walked over. Dont be in a hurry. Take your time and tell me what it is.
Harris nodded and reached out to turn on an audio system. A rhythmic sound came from the air, deep and thick, like the beating of a war drum.
Xia Fei had heard the frequency of the nether bell countless times, but he still listened patiently for a while.
Is there anything wrong with it? Xia Fei curiously asked.
Harris quickly pressed a few buttons and said, "Listen carefully."
The sound was the same as before, but there was a buzzing sound that was hard to detect. Just like the frequency wave, this buzzing sound was also very rhythmic, but the rhythm was more compact, like a bee flapping its wings.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. He placed the coffee cup in his hand on the table and asked in a deep voice, "Is that the nether bell? Why wasn't there any buzzing sound before? "
Harris increased the frequency of the audio amplifier again, and the sharp sound became even clearer, as if a million bees were dancing in the air!
"There is a special conducting unit in the nether bell's frequency transmission system. We always thought that it was responsible for frequency amplification, but we were wrong. It is an independent frequency generator that is connected to a completely different system! The sound you are hearing now is produced by mixing these two frequencies! "Harris's eyes shone brightly as he said excitedly.
"Now, I will play these two completely different frequencies for you," Harris said.
Shocking!
Extreme shock!
It was so clear after separating the two sounds. It turned out that the nether bell was made up of two completely different systems! One was used to transmit signals, while the other was used to transmit signals. The difference was that the former transmitted signals to other communicators of the same model, while the latter transmitted a strange frequency to an unknown corner of space in the Netherworld.
"How did you discover it?" Xia Fei asked.
Harris said, "Actually, I discovered it by accident. Based on past experience, in order to obtain a better frequency waveform, we usually have to remove the clutter. This morning, I accidentally forgot to turn on the filter when I turned on the waveform detection system, so I discovered this weak signal. After repeated tests, I can confirm that this waveform has a pattern and was deliberately added! What's even more amazing is that the hidden waveform not only has a transmission port, but it will also receive an extremely weak feedback from space. "
With that said, Harris turned on the monitoring device again. After some adjustments, there was indeed a similar buzzing sound coming from space in the Netherworld, about one thousand five hundred times per second.
Xia Fei could not help but feel excited. Not only could the nether bell communicate with each other, but it could also communicate with some unknown signal generating mechanism in space. It must be mentioned that the nether bell was not much bigger than a human thumb, so it was unimaginably complicated to be able to contain so many functional units.
Xia Fei smiled. "Very well. Then let's figure out what this frequency wave is used for and who it's contacting."
…
Ever since they discovered the second frequency of the nether bell, Xia Fei and Harris became even crazier. They worked day and night in the lab, often not even bothering to eat, working day and night.
Gu Fengzhu was very worried about their health, so she visited the lab twice to remind them to rest, but Xia Fei said, "It's fine if you don't rest. You'll die if you don't work."
Gu Fengzhu had no choice but to get someone to deliver food to the lab on time every day, knocking on the door to remind them. Even so, the food was often returned untouched. It was clear that the two of them were putting their lives on the line.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Fei and Harris had not taken a step out of the lab for half a month. During this time, the Earth Federation began a new round of presidential elections. Wu Long had the full support of Quantum Holdings, so he was far in the lead in terms of votes and was only one step away from becoming the president.
This interim election had been too rushed, and the capable candidates had not even had the chance to make their own preparations before rushing into battle. Of course, they were no match for Wu Long. Be it in terms of financial or material resources, Quantum Holdings far surpassed the other election teams, and with Xia Fei's timely strategy and publicity, there was no suspense in the outcome of the election.
Ever since the Murati incident, the people had lost trust in the politicians. They were more willing to believe that Wu Long, an industrialist, could lead Earth to glory. Quantum Holdings also promised to help the Earth Federation with its development plans, which the people were even more excited about. After all, the Earth Federation's rapid development meant that the people would be able to benefit from it.
Far away in the capital ring, Avril could not help but call Xia Fei a few times. Seeing how busy Xia Fei was, she did not say much, so she just gave him a simple greeting before hanging up.
Xia Fei did not actually want to neglect her, but he had too much work on hand. The mysterious second channel was also very attractive to her. Between romance and hard work, Xia Fei chose the latter. However, he also promised to visit Avril soon, since the Golden Finger Tournament was held in the capital ring, which was very close to Avril's home.
Upon hearing that Xia Fei would visit her, Avril could not help but jump for joy, hinting to Xia Fei that she wanted to go shopping and visit the galactic amusement center. Of course, Xia Fei agreed. Being able to take a stroll with the woman he loved was also a temptation for Xia Fei.
Another week passed, and Wu Long was elected as the third president of the Earth Federation with seventy-six percent of the votes. Xia Fei's regime change plan came to a perfect conclusion.
In his inaugural speech, Wu Long gave a passionate speech, declaring that he wanted to reform the government, expand the Federation's foreign trade, and shorten the gap between them and the Pan-human Alliance as soon as possible. What surprised Xia Fei was that this speech was actually written by Wu Long himself. The fact that he was able to come up with such a genteel speech was truly a sight to behold.
Wu Long called Xia Fei right after the inauguration speech, and Xia Fei gave him a few encouraging words. In summary, he told him to do whatever he wanted, and with Quantum Holdings behind him, there was nothing he could not overcome.
Wu Long was very encouraged, and he was ready to show off his skills and achieve great results. She even put in a lot of effort to push him to the position of president, so she had very high hopes for him.
Another week had passed, and the researchers in the lab were eagerly waiting for Xia Feis and Harris to walk out of the lab. It was already the appointed time, and the question of who would become Harris's student was the most pressing concern for them.
At six in the morning, Gu Fengzhu arrived at the cafeteria as usual. She was going to have something to eat before she started her work for the day. Although she was already the supervisor of the laboratory and had some achievements in scientific research, it was still very attractive for her to become Harris' student. After all, Harris' knowledge far surpassed that of any scholar on Earth. He was one of the best experts in the entire Alliance.
Gu Fengzhu was surprised to see Xia Fei chatting happily with Harris when she opened the door. There were dozens of bowls and plates on the table. Gu Fengzhu would not be able to finish all the food in a week.
Xia Fei happily asked Gu Fengzhu to join him when he saw her. Gu Fengzhu hesitated for a moment before she sat down next to the two of them. She ordered a few steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, eating slowly.
"You guys seem to be in a good mood today. Have you finished your research?" Gu Fengzhu curiously asked.
Xia Fei smiled. "Not yet, but we've made some important progress. It'll be very helpful for the work ahead."
"Then I'll have to congratulate the two of you in advance." Gu Fengzhu smiled. "You promised that the most outstanding researchers would become Harris' students in the last meeting. It's already been a month. I wonder when the list will be announced?"
Xia Fei awkwardly scratched his head. "I've been too busy lately, so I've forgotten about it. Harris, may I know what your criteria are when you choose your students?"
Harris answered, "I don't have any criteria, just that they're smart enough. I'm only in charge of teaching and guiding them. They'll have to rely on their own efforts for the rest. I've already decided on the first batch of candidates; you can announce it later."
