After rejecting Zhang Tianshen's unreasonable price, he asked Old Man Li to help run errands and contact Wang Gen. At the same time, Shen Cong asked Zhang Youhai to go among the scavengers and ask if anyone had any old electrical parts that could be exchanged for food.
Ben didn't have high hopes for this. He thought that these scavengers who had to pay taxes every day could not have good things in their hands. Unexpectedly, after Zhang Youhai gathered for about ten minutes, there were five people holding them. Computers, printers and other worn-out electronic equipment came and asked for trade.
Half of the electronic system of the King Kong was paralyzed. In the heavy rain, many capacitors and batteries were scrapped, especially the electronic components on some motherboards, which had different specifications and could not be repaired if they were broken.
If he had known that the apocalypse would be so wild, Shen Cong would definitely not have chosen this delicate modification, but would have relied on the wild modification in "Mad Max".
That kind of modification, even if it is broken, it can be pieced together to make it a good... a good car.
In fact.
No matter how you modify it, it is impossible to fully adapt to all environments - if you want to be simple, practical and easy to repair, you will sacrifice the convenience of life; if you want to live a convenient and comfortable life, you will sacrifice the disaster resistance; if you want to use crawlers to climb mountains and wading, you will sacrifice the steering and the speed of the tires; if you want to take a rest while driving autonomously, you will have to face repair problems.
Unless Shen Cong is a billionaire, he can have the money to design a real mobile fortress.
He was able to design the King Kong with just a little money from the sale of his house and the compensation from the car accident. He was already very proud.
"Boss Huang, look at my laptop. It's still usable. It's not broken. It's just out of power." A scavenger said hopefully, holding a Shenzhou laptop.
"Really?" Shen Cong squatted at the back door of the carriage, unplugged the power cord from his laptop, and plugged it into the Shenzhou laptop, which had some rust on the surface.
On the screen of his laptop are radar charts and camera images, which are connected to the console in the cab using in-car network cables. No matter where he sits, he can observe every move around him.
Beep beep.
The Shenzhou notebook was powered on and the screen lit up. It was indeed good. Shen Cong did some operations and then said to the scavenger: "Two packs of biscuits or a pound of flour, which one do you choose?"
Shen Cong, who switched to eating active meat, would have traded most of the food reserves in the car for other resources if it weren't for nutritional balance. The physical fitness has been strengthened beyond the strength of five oxen. Ordinary food can no longer provide sufficient nutrition, and the diet needs to be changed.
"Can I exchange for two packs of biscuits?" the scavenger asked reluctantly.
Shen Cong took the biscuit in his hand and pointed to the August 1st military emblem on it: "Did you see it? These are compressed biscuits obtained from the army. They are high in calories. This bag is enough for you to eat for two days."
I actually bought it from Jingdong online store, but it is indeed compressed dry food for the army. This kind of dry food is very popular with hikers. In addition to supplying the troops, the manufacturer also sells it to the outside world.
"Really, thank you, Boss Huang." The scavenger took the two packages of biscuits, thanked him again and left.
Zhang Youhai was busy shouting: "Come next!"
After the transaction between the five scavengers was over, a mother and son suddenly rushed over. It was the woman who was molested by Wang Dong before. Zhang Youhai stopped the woman. Although Shen Cong confiscated him as his younger brother, he already considered himself Shen Cong's younger brother everywhere.
"Liu Fang, what are you two doing here, mother and son?" Zhang Youhai asked after stopping mother and son.
"Brother Zhang, I want to tell Boss Huang something."
Zhang Youhai turned to look at Shen Cong who was about to close the back door of the carriage: "Boss Huang, this..."
Shen Cong glanced at the mother and son and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Liu Fang hurriedly said: "Boss Huang, are you going to Juchao District? Can you send us mother and son there? My husband is in Juchao District..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Cong interrupted impatiently: "It's impossible."
"Boss Huang, I can pay. My husband is the general manager of Kaixin Real Estate. He is rich..."
"Impossible." Shen Cong still said the same thing, and after saying that, he closed the back door of the car with a clang.
Zhang Youhai took Liu Fang's arm and sighed: "Liu Fang, you go back. This is impossible. Don't mention that your husband is a real estate boss, he is the richest man in the world. He has piles of money. What does it matter now? Go back." .”
"Don't worry about it." Liu Fang knocked off Zhang Youhai's arm and ran to pat the door of the King Kong: "Boss Huang, my husband is really rich... If you don't want money, we can give you a computer. Don't you want a computer?" Send us there and I’ll ask my husband to give you a truckload of computers.”
"Liu Fang, don't be stupid, go back quickly, don't make Boss Huang unhappy."
"Boss Huang, Boss Huang, otherwise you will send my son alone, and I won't go... Boss Huang, Boss Huang..."
Liu Fang was finally dragged away by Zhang Youhai.
…
Shen Cong closed the car door and stopped paying attention to what was happening outside. The world was so big that he only had himself in his heart.
In addition to laptops, the electronic equipment traded by the survivors also included tablets, LCD TVs, mobile phones, digital cameras, printers, and several smart watches. One scavenger even exchanged it for an Asus wireless router. These digital devices are severely corroded.
Shen Cong speculated that this may be related to activity, because activity is closely related to metals.
The reason why his equipment is intact may be that the King Kong serves as a barrier to isolate the effects of activity.
This is just speculation, not confirmed.
Shen Cong picked up the wireless router from the pile of digital devices. Shen Cong had seen this wireless router before. It was a very high-end industrial-grade router. It sold for over 10,000 yuan. It had a very strong signal and an effective distance of more than 200 meters.
Of course, this wireless router only replaced half a pack of compressed biscuits.
When the power was turned on, although the surface was corroded, it still started.
Shen Cong was overjoyed.
"There are no communication signals in the outside world now, and the radiation interference is very large. Maybe I can use this wireless router to make the King Kong wireless in a short distance, use the router to build a signal base station, and then when wearing the explosive armor, the mobile phone can receive the signal , remotely control the King Kong."
Remote working is already a common thing in 2022. Mobile phones, laptops, cameras, smart bracelets and other electronic devices all have integrated office modules. As long as they are connected to the Internet, they can work remotely.
There is a LAN inside the King Kong, and all cameras and laptops can be connected to the LAN. This is why Shen Cong can sit at the back door and use his laptop to view the cab screen.
Wireless network is also standard on King Kong. Mobile phones and computers all have built-in hotspot WiFi, allowing them to connect to each other anytime and anywhere.
But there is a problem here. The integrated hotspot WiFi has weak signal penetration and a range of only twenty meters. Including mobile phone Bluetooth and infrared, the distance is short. In the end of the world when network communications are paralyzed, if he exceeds 20 meters, he will lose network contact with the King Kong. But at a distance of twenty meters, Shen Cong could reach it in one quick step. It made little difference whether there was wireless network or not.
A distance of at least 100 meters is required for wireless office to be effective.
So Shen Cong has basically never used hotspot wifi.
The effective distance of this wireless router is 200 meters. Subtracting radiation interference, it should be effective within 100 meters. By improving the signal transmitter, the distance of 150 meters can basically be guaranteed. It is even feasible to think about how to reduce the noise and restore the distance to 200 meters.
Once there is a signal distance of 200 meters, when Shen Cong is hunting, he does not need to drive the King Kong directly in front of the prey to scare away the prey. He can park the car 200 meters away.
Moreover, it can keep track of the dynamics of the King Kong at any time, which will definitely greatly improve the safety level.
and.
The most exciting thing.
If the wireless router can output a constant signal, then Shen Cong can connect the drone's remote control station through the router, as well as the remote control station of the remote control racing car... If the signal distance is reached 200 meters, and the drone rises to an altitude of 200 meters, basically It was like giving Shen Cong a look.
At an altitude of 200 meters, the naked eye can theoretically see a distance of 20 kilometers.
Instead, it is Shen Cong's DJI Phantom 8th generation drone, which is equipped with an ultra-high-definition camera and has a built-in focusing function. It is not guaranteed to be able to shoot clearly at 20 kilometers. If you fold it in half, you can shoot clearly at 10 kilometers.
An eye with a radius of 10 kilometers!
The distance from Yinping Town to the south of the city is only 5 kilometers. From this point of view, the entire Juchao District can be said to be within the reach of Shen Cong's eyes.
Thinking of the excitement, Shen Cong couldn't help humming: "You are my eyes..."
