Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 255: Late-Night Broadcast

Chu Xiaolu had just finished hanging up the clothes when she walked over to Zhou Yuan. Seeing that Zhou Yuan was in a daze, Chu Xiaolu took Zhou Yuan's hand and gently touched it.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yuan also responded to Chu Xiaolu's question, "That white dress has a listening device on it. I'm wondering if I should remove it."

"Let's not take it. Let's try another one."

Chu Xiaolu let go of Zhou Yuan's hand, went to the clothing room, and picked out a crop top.

"What are you doing?"

"I've touched it. There's no bugging device in this crop top. How could you put a bugging device in a crop top?"

Chu Xiaolu smiled at Zhou Yuan and placed the crop top in the bathroom. Zhou Yuan turned on the detection device, and sure enough, no abnormalities were found.

After working together to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the clothes they were going to wear, Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu took a shower one after the other.

After taking a shower, Zhou Yuan was looking at the city map of Huasheng Special Zone on the wall when Chu Xiaolu, wearing a crop top, came up to him. Zhou Yuan was unaware that Chu Xiaolu was right behind him.

"Honey, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Yuan turned around and was immediately stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Baby, you are so beautiful."

Chu Xiaolu beamed with joy upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words.

"Hey, no, no..." Zhou Yuan's hands were pressed against the wall by Chu Xiaolu, whose body pressed tightly against Zhou Yuan's, pinning him against the wall. Zhou Yuan's mouth was sealed by Chu Xiaolu's lips, and the two engaged in a passionate kiss.

Six minutes later, Zhou Yuan's hands were finally released.

"You're really strong."

"Really? Shall we do it again?"

"Oh, no. Let's wait until tonight."

Chu Xiaolu smiled and looked at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan took Chu Xiaolu's hand, and the two stood side by side, looking at the map on the wall.

The National Academy of Sciences of the Western Turks is located west of the Huasheng Special District, about 12 kilometers from the Presidential Palace. About 96 kilometers northwest of the Academy of Sciences, there is a large lake, and to the north of the lake are a series of mountains.

Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu studied the map for about fifteen minutes. Then they went out and ate at a restaurant about three or four hundred meters north of the west gate of the community. After eating, they went back home. Zhou Yuan picked up a handheld detection device and the two went to the underground parking garage, area A.

Chu Xiaolu took out a car key, pressed it, and one car responded. The two followed the sound and found the car, a bright red sedan. Chu Xiaolu took out another car key, pressed it, and another car responded. This car was black, and its surface appeared finely crafted. Chu Xiaolu handed this car key to Zhou Yuan.

“Our two cars should have tracking devices; this detection device can locate them.”

“If there’s a locator, we don’t know if it’s wired or wireless. Anyway, let’s look for it.” Zhou Yuan activated his handheld detection device, pulled out the antenna, and turned on signal detection mode. He circled his black car and moved it around the vehicle, finding nothing unusual. Zhou Yuan then scanned the underside of the car with the device, which suddenly vibrated slightly. He moved the device back and forth for a while, using the signal strength to determine the approximate location of the tracking locator under the car.

Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and inserted their handheld detection devices into it, but found nothing unusual.

Zhou Yuan opened the rear door of the car again and scanned the back seat area back and forth. Finding nothing unusual, he opened the front door, sat in the driver's seat, inserted the car key, and started the car. The handheld detection device suddenly started buzzing. Zhou Yuan moved the handheld detection device back and forth, scanning the passenger seat with the tracking locator. The signal was strongest near the ignition point below the center console, which was an interface of the vehicle's automatic diagnostic system.

With the car still running, Zhou Yuan carefully scanned the inside and outside of the car again with his handheld detection device. The abnormalities were still only found under the car and near the ignition source under the center console, but not in other places.

Zhou Yuan turned off the car and locked the door. The two then went to Chu Xiaolu's car and, using the same method, checked the car thoroughly, both with the engine off and running.

Chu Xiaolu's car also has two tracking locators installed. One is under the car, just like Zhou Yuan's car, and the other is on the lower left corner of the steering wheel, at the interface of the vehicle's automatic diagnostic system.

Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu left a spot some distance away from area A of the garage and spoke quietly to each other.

"I never imagined that both of our cars had two tracking devices installed."

"I never imagined there would be a tracking locator at the interface of the vehicle's automatic diagnostic system. Brother, what should we do?"

“If we forcibly demolish it now, they will definitely find out, so let’s just pretend we don’t know.”

"Brother, aren't you going to those high mountains in the northwest?"

Zhou Yuan glanced at Chu Xiaolu and nodded.

“If we drive the two of our cars to the other side of the mountain, our whereabouts will definitely be discovered. It doesn’t matter once or twice, but if it happens too often, they will definitely become suspicious.”

"Yes. I looked it up and found that those mountains are quite high. I can build a homemade shortwave radio station on the mountaintop and use skywave propagation. The ionosphere will continuously reflect and refract the shortwave. Of course, the power and frequency of the radio station will need to be adjusted according to different times, climates, and other environmental conditions. I think it will be possible to send telegrams to the motherland."

Chu Xiaolu looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, "Brother, can you be sure that the signal was received by our compatriots after being attenuated through multiple layers?"

"I will add a homemade signal booster to adjust the transmission power as needed. I have already discussed this with my superiors during the intelligence training, and I estimate that they have already prepared dozens of radio stations at the National Astronomical Observatory to receive my shortwave signals."

"How can we be sure they received the signal you sent?"

"If they receive the signal, they will test-fire two ballistic missiles 30 hours later, one to the East China Sea and the other to the South China Sea. From the outside, it will appear as our country warning the Western Turks."

"When will we transmit the shortwave signal?"

"tonight."

"Tonight?"

"Yes, the combined fleet of the Western Turks and their allies will be attacking within a week. I need to get this message out as soon as possible."

"The mountains are quite far away, how are we going to get there? And you must have quite a lot of stuff."

"We definitely can't drive our car anymore. How about this, we'll rent a campervan now and go on a weekend getaway in it, right?"

Chu Xiaolu thought Zhou Yuan's suggestion was brilliant. The two discussed it in hushed tones, went home to get some things, including newly bought clothes and cell phones, and then went to the underground parking garage, each driving their own car towards the exit.

Chu Xiaolu went to the supermarket to buy vegetables, meat, food, household items, and some tools, while Zhou Yuan searched online for a nearby car rental company. After showing their identification, registering, and paying a deposit, Zhou Yuan drove his own car, followed by a rental company driver in a motorhome. Chu Xiaolu was already waiting at the west gate of the residential area, with various boxes and bags placed beside her. Zhou Yuan parked his car in the garage, and together with Chu Xiaolu, they loaded everything into the motorhome at the west gate. Then, Zhou Yuan went back home to check carefully to see if anything had been left behind.

Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu boarded the RV. Zhou Yuan first checked the items, especially the shortwave radio and its accessories. The RV was quite spacious, with a bed, TV, cooking utensils, a bathroom, a dining table, tableware, chairs, etc., just like a mobile home.

The two set off immediately. Chu Xiaolu drove the RV northwest, while Zhou Yuan, holding a map, kept reminding Chu Xiaolu to change lanes and pointing out the way.

Chu Xiaolu drove for two hours before arriving at the large lake marked on the map. The lake had a ring road around it, with many private cars parked on the road. On the lake shore, many people were enjoying the breeze, mostly in family groups.

Chu Xiaolu parked the RV by the roadside. The two got out of the vehicle, locked the door, and walked hand in hand toward the lake.

Zhou Yuan looked at the blue planet on the horizon to the west of the lake, and to the right was the golden sun gradually setting. The scenery of mountains, water, sunset, and lake was quite beautiful. Zhou Yuan checked his phone; it was around 5 p.m. Because it was summer, the sky was still white and it got dark late.

The two started washing vegetables and cooking in the RV. After they finished eating and cleaned up, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Zhou Yuan looked out the RV window and saw that there was only one couple left by the lake. Soon after, the couple also drove away.

Zhou Yuan got out of the car and looked around to make sure no one was nearby. Chu Xiaolu then started the RV and drove north along the lakeside road towards the mountains. Half an hour later, they reached the foot of a mountain. Before dark, the two of them began climbing, carrying their equipment. Fortunately, the trees on the mountain weren't too dense, so they rested as they climbed. The mountain became increasingly steep, and they proceeded cautiously. Chu Xiaolu didn't feel anything, but Zhou Yuan felt his arms were numb and sore. Chu Xiaolu took Zhou Yuan's heavy items, and they exchanged things. After resting for a while, they continued upwards. By the time they reached the summit, it was almost dark, around 7:15 PM.

While it was still light, Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu quickly set up, assembled, and debugged the shortwave radio equipment. At 8 p.m., Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu broadcast their first message on time, sending a code different from Morse code. This code was a hybrid variable-base code invented by Zhou Yuan himself.

After sending the Morse code, Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu set up their tent again and rested inside for more than two hours. At 11 p.m., they sent out their second broadcast. At 1:45 a.m., Zhou Yuan was awakened by his phone alarm. He grabbed a flashlight and went out of the tent. At 2 a.m., he sent out his third broadcast.

I hope you receive my launch message, my compatriots. After Zhou Yuan finished his third broadcast, he felt really tired, you could say he was exhausted.

Using the light of his flashlight, Zhou Yuan unzipped the tent. Chu Xiaolu was already fast asleep. Zhou Yuan entered the tent, set the alarm clock, turned off the flashlight, and lay down to sleep. He soon fell asleep and dreamed of his compatriots at the National Astronomical Observatories cheering after receiving his launch information.

At 4:45 AM, Zhou Yuan was startled awake by his phone alarm. At 5:00 AM, Zhou Yuan promptly broadcast his fourth message. Thus, Zhou Yuan broadcast a total of four times, at three-hour intervals, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the next morning.

Whether it succeeds or not, we'll have to wait two days for the Western Turks' television news to find out. If our compatriots receive the message, our motherland will launch two ballistic missiles in thirty hours.
