We Live In Nanjing - Chapter 120

   Chapter 120 Turn-Based Communication

  Black screen.

  Black screen.

  Black screen.

  White Yang slowly moved closer to the screen, raised his hand and patted the computer monitor.

“No signal?”

   Suddenly a black-and-white face appeared in the darkness, like a dead white person immersed in thick black water. The white poplar was taken aback and almost knocked over the chair.

“Wow!”

What kind of death lighting is this, she actually shined from under her chin with a flashlight, and dark shadows hit the people, eyebrows and forehead, so a Yintang was black, her face pale, and a freshly baked black and white impermanence Bai Yang did not expect that this girl was actually a ghost in her first appearance.

Fortunately, she quickly changed the direction of the light. As the direction of the light changed, the face on the screen came alive. Only then did Bai Yang see that it was a beautiful and fair-skinned girl’s face, with sweaty forehead resting on her smooth forehead. She opened her eyes wide, leaning close to the camera with her left eye and staring at the camera. She didn’t know what she was looking at. Then she switched to her right eye and moved in. She turned her eyes around, took a step back, and squatted down and raised a piece of cardboard. Zi, there are a few thick black characters written on the board:

   “Can you see me?”

  In the video transmission state, the two parties cannot communicate in real time, nor can they speak, just like watching TV. People outside the TV cannot communicate with people inside the TV, and can only hold signs with each other.

The girl kept the cardboard in front of the camera for half a minute, guessing that the other party should read these words clearly, then squatted down again, disappearing from the camera’s field of view for a while, and she was holding another sentence when she reappeared. .

   “The photos I took are beautiful!”

   Then she disappeared into the camera again, stood up, held the sign, and flashed the flashlight.

“thank you!”

  Bai Yangxin said that it was really strenuous to speak, but it was worth the strenuousness to be able to see a real person.

  They spend so much time, thought and energy, isn’t it just to be able to see one side? People are all animals that look at faces, and only when they see faces can they be regarded as acquaintances.

“Yo–” Suddenly two hands were placed on Bai Yang’s shoulders, and then a heavy pressure fell on his back, causing Bai Yang to stagger. Forsythia appeared behind her at some point, and she was crushed by half of her body. Come up, tilt your head and look at the screen, “Why can’t you see the face? You can only see a chin, you let her squat down a bit.”

   “I can’t talk to her now… Move your hand away, you can crush my sister to death.” Bai Yang patted Lian Qiao’s wrist, “This is a one-way video transmission. We are now watching a silent film.”

  The **** the screen changed another piece of cardboard. This time she wrote for a long time, and the board read messily:

  ”Let’s switch in five minutes (crossed out

  ”Can you see clearly over there? This camera does not seem to be very good (crossed out

  ”Is the light on my side a bit dark (crossed out

  ”Can you see clearly over there? This camera seems to be abnormal, and I changed a pair of very thick curtains, the room is very dark.”

   “It’s very dark.” Forsythia said, “It would be nice if it could pass during the day. It would be a pity that the beautiful sister can only see it at night, but fortunately, there are no big eyes to disrupt the situation this time. Where is that thing now?”

   “Maybe still wandering around in Nanjing city.” Bai Yang said.

  ”This thing is really troublesome…Ah, oh, what is this silly girl doing?” Forsythia’s face suddenly changed.

  White Yang turned his head and took a look.

   “I will perform a backflip for you!”

  A few large characters shocked the two of them.

  ”Stop her stop her!” Forsythia patted Bai Yang’s shoulder hard.

  ”This…how to stop this?” Bai Yang was in a hurry, “I said that she couldn’t hear me over there. It took five minutes to switch the transmission direction! We can’t do anything special now…”

   Just as Bai Yang was speaking, the person on the screen had already climbed onto the bed. She was standing on the edge of the bed, and only a slender leg could be seen in the camera.

“Damn, what should I do if I accidentally fall?” Forsythia was anxious, sweating, like a parent worried about his children, “Naughty, what about somersaults in such a small room? “

  Bai Yang hung both hands nervously over the table. He wanted to find something to solve the problem, but his eyes swept around, and there was nothing to use.

  ”I, I, I, I, I, I, I’m going to call someone…I…”

  He suddenly froze.

The slender figure on the screen leaped, lifted off, turned back, and landed steadily. The refresh rate of the camera could not keep up with her movements. Bai Yang and Forsythia only saw a flower in front of them, and the girl was already standing there. On the floor, it fell precisely in the aperture of the flashlight.

  She is wearing a black turtleneck sweater and dark jeans. The girl’s face is still not visible in the camera’s field of view, but she can only be seen opening her arms and bowing slowly.

  Forsythia and Bai Yang have not spoken for a long time.

  After a long time, Forsythia said:

   “She must have been practicing for a long time.”

She must have been practicing for a long time. That set of trashy movements, somersaults in the cramped bedroom, leaped lightly, landed accurately, gracefully and smoothly like a dancer. She must have practiced for a long time and practiced for many years. , Today she finally found the audience.

  Five minutes later, the data link is switched, and the next step is the white poplar transmitting the video signal, and the other party receiving the signal.

  Bai Yang has a stack of A4 paper in his hand, and writes on the paper with a marker pen, answering the questions one by one.

   “We can see you.”

  ”If you think the photo looks good, I will take it for you tomorrow. I will take more pictures for you.”

   “The light is a bit dim, the camera can still work normally, we don’t need to change the camera, we can see clearly, and don’t play backflip, it’s too dangerous, what should I do if I fall?”

  Poplar unfolded the white paper and hung it in front of the camera.

He doesn’t know if the other party actually saw these words, because there is no prompt or feedback, after five minutes of feedback, the sender and receiver of the data link are switched again. After the switch, it becomes a white poplar to receive image data, and he can get it. According to the feedback from the girl, everything Bai Yang did at this time seemed to be talking to the computer.

Speaking of this, this is a very inefficient way of communication. You are five minutes and I am five minutes. It is still a turn-based system. Modern people who are used to real-time communication will find it unbearable. If you don’t reply to WeChat and QQ messages in the first five minutes of this year, you feel that the other party is affirmed. I went to shit, and if I didn’t reply for ten minutes, I was drowned in the pit.

  Poplar felt that he was writing a letter when he wrote on the paper with a pen.

  He has never written a letter. People in his old days may have sent letters when they were young. Writing letters is an old way of contact, but he is using radio waves that travel at the speed of light to deliver paper letters.

   Quite a bit of sci-fi retroism, isn’t it?

  ”Yang Yang! Are you talking?” Zhao Bowen opened the door, “Remind her, we are about to start the second phase of the Dongfanghong operation…”

   “Good,” Bai Yang said.

“Well, tell her. We are arranging the specific plan…wait for me to answer the call.” The mobile phone in Zhao’s pocket suddenly rang, and he closed the door and walked out, “Hello? It’s me… , Um, what? Brussels? What’s going on? What’s wrong, where do I have time to go out now? Masters, every minute is precious here, can you understand? The situation is imminent, every time a point is missed, the world will be on the verge of destruction Slip a point and don’t have time to wrestle with the foreigners. In this way, you can ask Old Wu and General. One of them is the deputy commander and the other is the commander of the base. Their status is right.”

  Ending the call, Zhao Bowen opened the door again, and saw Bai Yang and Forsythia turning his head and looking serious.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, we have plenty of time.” Lao Zhao waved his hand, “I scare them, you know, these people are eager to take care of everything to you, so you don’t have to take responsibility. If you are a good player and kick the ball under your feet, you have to learn to kick it out…”

  Zhao Bowen’s tone of the old world.

  ”This is the wisdom of life that you, Uncle Zhao, and I have been standing in the workplace for many years.”
