A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 565: A mere 1080 items! Watch me finish it in one night!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia simply chuckled and waved to his old acquaintances, saying, "Wow, I didn't realize you guys were so good at radio monitoring!"

"Hey, by the way, how do you guys usually monitor the radio?"

This question immediately caused the instructor to frown: "Hey, it seems that even Junior Engineer Jiang isn't omnipotent after all..."

The regimental commander, who spent every day with him, subtly sensed something was wrong with his instructor. Taking advantage of Jiang Xia starting to chat with "Big Guy" and the others, he walked up to the instructor and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, I think I asked the wrong person. I was hoping this kid could help me make something that would facilitate communication, but unfortunately he doesn't even understand radio monitoring technology. How can he possibly make anything like this!"

"Huh? Didn't they say they were using a data transmission radio?"

"Tsk, he even published a groundbreaking paper on lasers, saying he'd use light for communication. But look at him, the laser rangefinder he promised the grassland factory still isn't finished. Oh well, let's hurry up and move the stones. If we get these stones over there, we can relieve the guards sooner."

“Some of our comrades, who are physically weak, have been on the plateau for almost a year!”

While the two were whispering to each other, Jiang Xia happily shook hands with "Big Guy" and the others.

The two men in leather jackets also eagerly answered the questions.

"A mobile monitoring vehicle! This was seized from Xiaoben! Shanghai sent one as a replacement!"

"Hmm, there's an even simpler way!"

As he spoke, the second male lead in the leather jacket pulled out a dark green, palm-sized object. Jiang Xia curiously took it and looked at it. Hey, why does it look so much like the radio that Liu Hai got as a reward at the factory?

"Hehe, it's just a radio!"

The second male lead in the leather jacket lowered his voice: "But it's different from the regular version. The 706 version uses the latest transistors, and with these things, it works surprisingly well!"

As he spoke, the second male lead in the leather jacket cast an inquiring glance at the "big guy".

The big guy saw the two in green military uniforms fall behind and nodded.

The second male lead, dressed in a leather jacket, proudly presented these small items to Jiang Xia as if they were treasures.

Yes, wear it!

A small metal ring, resembling a collar, was placed around Jiang Xia's neck, with a string attached to it.

Then, the second male lead in the leather jacket lifted his jacket and pulled off a vest-like object. Jiang Xia glanced at it and realized it looked a lot like the bulletproof vest he had made. Except that the places where the bulletproof plates were originally inserted had been replaced with several large square pockets.

The four pockets near his waist on his chest were filled with several dry cell batteries, while the large pocket in front of his chest contained a headset. It seemed that the headset's retaining strap had been deliberately removed, leaving only two large, disc-shaped earpieces.

Jiang Xia put on his vest, and the second male lead in the leather jacket helped him connect the headset to the green radio. After turning it on, various sounds immediately came through the headset as the tuning button was turned.

Jiang Xia touched the collar-like thing around his neck. He instinctively disliked it, but its existence must have a reason, so he curiously turned on the scanner.

Oh! This collar-like thing is actually an antenna!

Hey, this design is quite ingenious! I wonder which genius created it.

He picked up the headset and held it close to his ear. He heard the beeping of radio messages and broadcast programs. Listening carefully, Jiang Xia heard a deep, resonant voice coming from the headset:

"That's why I say Yang is a hero! When he saw the enemy coming up, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he picked up a grenade that he had already pulled the pin on and threw it at the enemy rushing towards the position! And it wasn't just an ordinary throw. Others throw empty-burst grenades!"

"Boom... Boom..."

The sudden explosion in his earpiece startled Jiang Xia.

"Hehe, Engineer Jiang, don't panic! It's just that guy's ventriloquism!"

Hey, no wonder they say there are skilled ventriloquists in the capital. This sound is almost indistinguishable from a real explosion!

"Who is this?"

"Yang Tianrong! Hey, haven't you heard of him? This guy can imitate the sounds of fighter jets, tanks, cannons, and various weapons, both long and short. He's incredibly awesome!"

"Oh! This program is great..."

"Hehe, this is called 'Fierce Battle on the Nameless River'! I like it too, but unfortunately I can never hear the whole thing!"

As the man in the leather jacket continued turning the knob, the radio program faded into the distance, followed by a series of urgent commands.

"First Company! Why haven't you reached your designated positions yet!"

"The First Company? The First Company! Give me an answer right now!"

A man's loud shouting could be heard intermittently through the headset; the sound was intermittent and there was a lot of background noise.

This is...this is...connected to the combat channel?

Jiang Xia grinned. The second male lead in the leather jacket next to him also heard the sound. He quietly peeked out, looked at the frequency on the small window of the "radio," and memorized the Hertz of that frequency.

"Battalion Commander! You know perfectly well that this new Liberation Card is nowhere near as good as the old Super Yellow River Card!" The voice continued to come through the earpiece, but it was still intermittent. It seemed that the other person was also doing some heavy work, and a series of "heave-ho" sounds came through in the middle.

The heavy rumble of the Liberation Truck was like background noise for these soldiers, making Jiang Xia feel both amused and uncomfortable.

Okay, we've figured out where the backup of that "Optimus Prime" machine in the factory is going. But why aren't they using it? Machines are meant to be used; it's not good to leave them in the base like a supreme ruler!

"You have the nerve to say that! You have a perfectly good truck, but not a single person in the entire base knows how to fix it. Compared to Jiangxia's truck, I really want to trade you guys with someone else!"

"Tsk, Battalion Commander, didn't you say you were really close to that Engineer Jiang? You even said that as long as you went, Engineer Jiang would definitely handle things perfectly for you. We've been back for several days now, and we haven't seen any news from you?"

"Huh? Do you know this battalion commander?" the second male lead in the leather jacket asked curiously, who was standing nearby.

Jiang Xia was also completely bewildered. "Maybe, perhaps, possibly!"

Thinking back to the "Big Firecracker No. 1" design finalization meeting, where he had also made an appearance, Jiang Xia answered somewhat uncertainly.

"Where is this battalion commander?" a somewhat cold voice asked.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the second male lead in the leather jacket didn't hesitate for long before immediately providing an answer based on his expertise:

"Within one kilometer! At the same time, based on the background noise and the intentions revealed in the conversation, their exact location should be on the mountainside of a nearby mountain, and they should be climbing towards the summit!"

"Hey! Instructor, it's you!"

After he finished speaking, the second male lead in the leather jacket noticed that the one who asked the question was the instructor who had originally walked away but somehow reappeared.

Ignoring the somewhat embarrassed second male lead in the leather jacket, Instructor Zeng Guangyi addressed Jiang Xia with a somber expression:

"Look, this is the current state of communication within our team. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can use high-tech equipment to overhear conversations. They can even determine the approximate deployment location through these conversations!"

"It's tough! Especially the area where we're changing garrisons. It's sparsely populated, and we can't do without a radio, but once we use one, well..."

"Not to mention, nobody knows how much powerful equipment from both sides India has acquired. If they were to learn about our deployments through signal monitoring, we..."

At this point, the instructor rubbed his dark circles.

"Jiang, I know you know a lot of people. Could you perhaps treat this as a project and study it? It's really important!"

"Hey, didn't I tell you? It's a data radio station, isn't it?"

"If we had to use proper language, it would be 'an application of analog digital radio based on the digital signal processing capabilities of a modem!'"

The instructor paused for a moment, then turned to leave.

"Hey, where are you going? What I said isn't wrong, is it? Although the modem is still a bit big, once it's combined with the radio, it should be about the same size as your backpack! Isn't that enough?"

Jiang Xia, who rarely encountered a grassroots cadre, hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.

The instructor turned around and pointed to the elusive Secretary Liu not far away, "Hey, that rumor is true. With your 'one-size-fits-all' export, someone's going to be in trouble..."

"I'll go and take care of things over there first, then I'll come back and have a long chat with you for a couple of days!"

The instructor's eyes suddenly flashed with fire: "It's just thirty major items and 1080 minor items! It's not much different from the original!"
