"Beacon fire? What is beacon fire? Beacon tower?" The first time Momozawa Hanako heard this word from Yu Gege, she had no idea at all.
Unexpectedly, You Gege smiled unexpectedly: "Yes, it's the Beacon Tower."
Momosawa Hanako said in surprise: "Ah? You asked me to go to Europe just to light a 'beacon tower'?"
Yougege nodded: "Yes, a 'beacon tower' that belongs to all mankind and will also determine the final fate of mankind!"
Momosawa Hanako still seems to understand, but she is not stupid.
What is a beacon tower?
Isn't that a "high-tech communication device" built by ancient people to convey an important message?
Some people may say that with high technology, isn’t it just a matter of placing a pile of wood in a relatively high place and lighting it on fire when a major event occurs?
Then you are too naive.
The significance of the beacon tower is beyond imagination.
From site selection, to staffing, to the manufacturing and selection of beacon towers, the most cutting-edge "scientific knowledge" of that era was almost used. However, there was no such concept as science in the past, but the wisdom used was indeed
It is scientific wisdom.
For example, when selecting a site, you need to choose a location that will not be affected by various weather factors throughout the year and is easy to observe and defend. This involves human geography and requires years of scientific investigation and observation to accumulate.
Another example is the employment of personnel. In many eras, the beacon tower has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the fate of the country. Therefore, a series of statistical knowledge must be used in personnel selection to ensure that the soldiers guarding the beacon tower are loyal enough to the country and responsible.
Then there are the materials.
Lighting smoke on a beacon tower may seem simple, but in fact there are many tricks inside.
Even if you don’t go to Baidu to search for details, you should know through common sense analysis that there are several essential elements for beacon smoke.
First, the smoke needs to be thick! It even needs to have different colors depending on the information being conveyed!
The second is that it can be ignited anytime and anywhere, and it cannot lose its effectiveness just because it is cloudy or rainy.
After these basic thoughts and analyses, do you still think that "Beacon Tower" really has nothing to do with science? Is it really that simple?
After Momozawa Hanako thought for a short time, she finally realized.
The "beacon" mentioned by Yougege is obviously not an ancient "beacon tower", but is most likely the key to transmitting information to the world.
After the "disappearance of the sun", most communication satellites have been disabled and radio waves have become unusable. It has become very difficult to transmit information between countries, even between two shelters in the same area. Although major
The upper levels of the shelter can still be connected through the super optical cable originally laid by the Su family and Huasheng Fengmao, but the communication between ordinary people is almost interrupted. This is why the special profession of travelers appeared later.
Today, the world is in danger, and the necessity of lighting a "beacon" has become highlighted.
Thinking of this, Momozawa Hanako understood. When she looked at Yougege, her eyes became more fiery and sincere, because she truly felt the sense of mission of the task she was about to complete.
"Light the beacon! Keep the beacon!"
The eight characters were deeply imprinted in Momosawa Hanako's heart, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists.
When the snowmobile she was riding arrived at the coast of the Philippines, the snowmobile communication system, which had been offline, actually came online. Momosawa Hanako looked at the call request above in surprise, and hesitated for ten seconds before connecting.
"Hello? Hello, can you hear me?"
The other party's voice was very clear, and when Momosawa Hanako heard it, tears fell down.
Because she is so familiar.
"Natsume……",
"Uh...hey?! Hanako?! Is that you Hanako?!" On the other end of the communicator, Natsume, who had just "ignited" a "beacon", has started global broadcasting here for ten days as planned.
For ten days, there were constant attacks by armed men of different races from all directions.
There is no need to find out their identities, because Natsume knows that the purpose of their coming here is to extinguish the "beacon fire". Of course, Natsume cannot let them do so, not to mention that Natsume now has a group of powerful helpers.
"Hanako?! It's really you, Hanako! I thought I would never see you again!" Natsume was also very surprised.
There was a dark-faced bald man sitting in the room. He glanced at Natsume and then quietly said to the people around him: "No need to ask, she is my little girlfriend!"
Standing next to the dark-faced and bald man was an unshaven uncle. The uncle bit his pipe and asked, "How do you say that?"
"Now! Look, if this young man really likes someone, he can't hide it. He will show it inadvertently in every word and deed. This man is well-connected with us." The dark-faced bald man spoke in a strange tone.
One sentence sounds like a Shandong accent, and the next sentence sounds like a courtyard house.
The bearded uncle nodded when he heard this, and it seemed that he believed it was right.
The girl sitting opposite them was dissatisfied: "Hey, Uncle Tuoba, can you stop guessing? What you said seems to be true."
The black-faced man Tuoba laughed heartily. The High Angel Legion soldier stood up slowly and said, "Girl, don't deceive yourself. That boy Natsume is not a fool, and he understands it. So you'd better cut off your love quickly and start from now on."
Choose one of the young men under my command that you like, and don't waste your youth by mistake again."
When Li Dan heard this, he gave Tuoba a vicious look, with a sour expression on his face.
The old pipe smoker coughed and said: "This world is really interesting. The one you love may not love you, and the one who loves you may not love you. Chasing him back and forth will end up being a debt of love in the end."
Natsume, who had just hung up the phone, had a gloomy look on his face: "I said Lao Tobacco, could you please stop sighing like this all of a sudden? That's a friend of mine, why are we in debt to him?"
I don’t know if this was meant for Li Dan or Lao Yandou.
In short, Lao Yandou's eyes were rolling around, and he didn't look like an elder at all.
He laughed, turned around and went out.
Natsume was very helpless. He glanced at Li Dan and said, "It's Hanako. Now we don't have to worry about the difficulty of contacting strangers."
Unexpectedly, Li Dan didn't even look at Xia Mu, and said: "That's your friend, not mine, so I don't care so much." After that, she followed Lao Yandou out.
Takuba Hu, who laughed heartily, was left watching the show, while Natsume's mouth twitched as he laughed.
Seeing this, you may be confused.
Why is it so sudden that characters like Tuoba Hu and Lao Yandou, who only appeared in the late Golden Age, appear here? This has no beginning and no end. Is it too sudden?
Regarding these stories, we have to leave them for later. After finishing this section and returning to Su Yao's main perspective, you will understand.
Back to business.
After Hanako and Natsume met near an isolated island off the coast of the Philippines, they were naturally very excited. But when Hanako Momosawa saw the group of three-meter-tall super soldiers wearing heavy armor, she was dumbfounded and frightened.
Fortunately, Natsume explained it to her in detail, and Hanako finally understood that these people were here to help them and were friends.
Su Yao, who led the team, had already gone to Europe, and the team left behind to guard the "Fenghuo" in the Philippines was ready to rush to Europe after receiving Hanako's team.
"I brought a lot of weapons and equipment, but these soldiers are all robots. They are absolutely loyal, but they have no feelings." Momosawa Hanako was depressed along the way that the companions Yu Gege arranged for her were actually a bunch of tough guys.
Natsume glanced at the group of silent soldiers behind Momozawa Hanako and felt surprised.
I originally thought that Yugege’s so-called reinforcements would be a group of real flesh-and-blood warriors, but I didn’t expect that after more than half a century, Yugege would use a big killer weapon for the first time... omnic weapons?!
"Emotions don't matter. I don't know if these things are comparable to the killing angels of our era." Tuoba Hu stepped forward and inspected these omnics, then shook his head and said: "Tsk, it doesn't seem to work..."
The omnics seemed to understand what Tuoba Hu meant, and they turned to look at Tuoba Hu at the same time, startling the super soldier.
Li Dan laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
Tuoba Hu was a little embarrassed. Lao Yandou stepped forward to check and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, these intelligent machines are not as powerful as those of our time, but they are quite capable. I just don't know if they can compare with those of An Yichu."
The one next to the girl."
"It's different." Li Dan was glared at by Tuoba Hu and stared back without fear at all. Then he came over and touched the arms of these intelligent machines and said, "The assistant beside Sister An is a highly intelligent robot.
Guard-type omni-mechanical robots, but these are killing machines that are completely built according to the needs of the battlefield. Therefore, they are more outstanding in terms of resistance to attack and surprise fighting ability. Of course... it is just like what Hanako said.
, absolutely loyal, absolutely brave, but such a sentiment."
"What kind of emotions does a killing machine need? Let me see it and let me try their quality and then I will know." Tuoba Hu is really a practical man. As he said this, he was about to activate the combat mode of the High Angel Arms to perform a show.
A group of sixty-six omnics in total all lit up their scarlet eyes at that time, and they didn't seem to be afraid.
Fortunately, there are still relatively calm people at the scene.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop, stop! Brother Tuoba! I know you are powerful! I also know that the equipment of your era was better, but this is our friendly army after all! It doesn't matter if you try it, it will be troublesome if it is really damaged.
." Natsume quickly stopped.
Li Dan jumped up unceremoniously and hit Tuoba Hu on the skull with his elbow.
"Calm down!"
There is probably a saying that one thing will bring down another.
Tuoba Hu, who once showed great power in Mengliang, the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom, became a good boy after meeting Li Dan. At that time, he honestly stepped aside and stopped talking.
