Chapter 720 is very good! But it's not good enough
They have forgotten to save their energy, and they rush forward with three steps and two steps at a time, rolling and crawling.
Rush to the water, they did not drink. I just ate not long ago, and the 100 ml of water in there was enough to last for a while.
The soldier put down his backpack and took out an aluminum lunch box, which contained a set of rapid detection reagents.
The Type 61 protective carrying gear is one of the few new pieces of equipment they have changed into. For them, the Type 61 allows them to move more freely while further enhancing their carrying ability.
Having water does not mean that you can drink it directly. This land is classified as saline-alkali land, and Haloxylon ammodendron trees can withstand salt water containing 1% to 3% salt.
Of course, even if it is undrinkable alkaline water, there are ways for them to process it into drinking water that is barely palatable.
The two of them cooperate with each other and move skillfully, and quickly , the quick test results came out.
Drinkable!
However, the two of them did not drink. They were not thirsty now, and they could not drink raw water in the wild unless absolutely necessary.
Both of them felt relieved. Based on the amount of supplies they carried, they were not worried about any problems for the time being. The only problem now was how to bring the good news back to the camp.
"Squad leader, let's use the walkie-talkie to shout to the camp. Even if they can't find it, we will use gunfire to attract them."
In order to save weight as much as possible, the two of them only I carried one semi-automatic and a small amount of ammunition, and the other semi-automatic was replaced by a walkie-talkie of almost the same weight. Not counting ammunition, both weighed about 3kg, which was just right.
In fact, they all know that the straight-line distance from the camp may not be very far, but sometimes it is just a few kilometers away, like a natural chasm. They were now lost and had no way of determining their location or explaining it over the walkie-talkie.
There are many situations where the walk-through function can make a call, but cannot be found.
The squad leader was confident and not in a hurry.
“There is no need for guns. A sandstorm may break out here at any time. The sound of gunfire may not be heard in the wind and sand, and the distance is uncertain. This method may put comrades into new dangers.”
"What do we do? We just walk back and report? If something goes wrong along the way, we are fine, but the water source The news was lost."
The squad leader said with a smile: "I have new weapons here, hehe, they were given to me just before departure. They said they were just delivered to me. I'll try them first. If they don't work, I'll tell you later."< br>
Under the curious eyes of the soldiers, the squad leader took out a small canvas bag from his backpack and took something out of it.
It looks a bit like a walkie-talkie, and it also has an antenna, but its size is less than one-third of that of a walkie-talkie. Judging from the way the squad leader holds it easily, it is probably lighter.
The squad leader unfolded the manual and said: "The comrade in charge of the equipment said that this thing must be used in emergencies and cannot even be turned on at ordinary times."
The manual looks like The temporary print looks like "Triangulation Positioning Lifesaving Beacon Machine" on the header.
The soldier doesn't know much about anything else, but he can still understand the word "lifesaving". It seems to be specially used in this situation. No wonder it can't be turned on when it is turned on at ordinary times.
The instruction manual is very short. The squad leader read it in a few times and handed it to the soldier: "You should also learn it. If there is any accident, you have to operate it."
The soldiers find it novel. Which of these new types of equipment does not require special learning and training? Why is this stuff like a joke?
He took it over and took a look, only to realize that the operation of this thing was really simple.
The core is three steps: turn on the power, select the current status - the green button is good, the yellow button is critical, and press the red button to send.
No, it's that simple. You don't need to do anything else or say anything. The only thing left is to check the status of the indicator light.
The indicator lights look small, but I don’t know if they can be seen clearly.
Well, anyone can learn this thing.
The squad leader took a pack of self-heating individual soldier rations from the bag and put it into the bulletproof plug socket - there is no need to insert a bulletproof plate here, this socket is used as a pocket by them, and he took a first aid kit and inserted it Carrying gear.
"You bring three rations, a gun, and put everything else here. Let's go to the highest point nearby."
The instructions say that if possible, try to keep this thing at the highest point nearby. Use it at the commanding heights for the best results.
The commanding heights are not far away. The two of them brought a gun, a first aid kit, and four rations in total, which was enough to deal with emergencies.
Don't look far, it took them almost half an hour to climb to the top of the dune.
The squad leader took out the beacon machine and turned on the power. The signal indicator window changed from red to yellow and then quickly turned to green.
What the principle of this is, the two of them don't know. They only know that according to the manual, this shows that the signal condition of the beacon machine is good.
The squad leader pressed the status button 1. The current status was very good, and the water source was also found. It couldn't be better. Then he pressed the send button. The sending indicator light flashed red quickly. In less than a second, which to human senses was almost the same time, a green indicator light marked "Receive Confirmation" came on.
In fact, as long as the signal is above a certain threshold, this simple automatic system with only trace amounts of data to be sent and simple calculations and processing without actual mechanical movements is so fast. The last seconds of various cards in the movie are all using I'm here to swindle money. I'm tired of seeing it too much.
Stable!
According to the instructions, when this light turns on, it indicates that your position and distress signal have been accurately and completely received by the base, and a corresponding rescue will be launched immediately.
The two laughed happily. From this moment on, they were no longer afraid. Even if something happened to them, the comrades who came to search and rescue would be able to find this water source and fuel.
They were completely relieved. What were they still doing in a daze? Eat! It was quite tiring to climb this slope, and the falling sand caused them to advance and retreat. Let me add.
Just when they pressed the launch button, a computer was running in a newly arranged room in the base, and the person on duty was sitting next to it.
The computer's buzzer suddenly sounded a "beep beep" alarm sound. This alarm sound will continue to sound without human intervention.
The officer on duty was shocked, and the computer rang, indicating only one thing: a comrade was lost in the desert!
His hands immediately reached for the keyboard and his eyes looked at the monitor.
With only one glance, he grabbed the phone next to him.
"Report, Beacon No. 19 is calling for help. The rescuers are in good condition and have responded to the reception confirmation signal. The coordinates are located at..."
The commander on duty at the base who received the report immediately began to organize the rescue.
"Who is using Beacon No. 19?" Although it is a trial production beacon, the number issued is not small. After all, as long as this thing can achieve the expected effect, it is really easy to use. Even during the trial period, it can add another layer of protection to the lives of comrades working outside, and it is not in vain to build two signal towers specifically for this system.
What signal towers need is steel. For the base, there is really no shortage of this stuff this year.
“It’s over the blast point tower. They are a new construction site, so the probability of similar problems will be greater.”
At this time, the comrades working in the picture have completed their work quickly: "Report, they are about 7 kilometers southwest of the Explosion Point Tower."
"So far? It seems that they were looking for water and got lost." Explosion Point The tower is already far enough, and the rescuers even have to go this far.
"Search and rescue team, bring the real-time positioning machine and set off!" the commander immediately issued the order.
Two 230-type four-wheel drive off-road vehicles were quickly loaded with people and equipment and set off to the call for help location. They must first rush to the explosive point tower, and then launch a search and rescue on foot from the explosive point tower.
……
The National Defense Working Committee quickly received a report on this incident. After reading it, the chief engineer thought thoughtfully and walked to the leadership office with the report.
“Leader, the triangulation positioning system was very successful in the trial over there in the desert. Two soldiers who got lost after finding water deep in the desert were found.”
“Okay! Taking action is a life-saving action! Gao Zhendong's proposal to use triangulation positioning for tactical-level troop positioning and popularize small positioning terminals seems to have great application prospects," the leader said happily after reading the report.
The chief engineer smiled and nodded: "Yes, especially after he developed the integrated circuit technology, it created conditions for the miniaturization and low cost of terminals. Digital communication technology also provided channels for complex data transmission. The basics, taken together, are logical. "
Triangulation is not a new thing, but if it is to be widely used at the tactical level, especially in front-line combat units, it requires miniaturization, low cost, and digital transmission. , both are indispensable.
The leader of the National Defense Working Committee nodded with satisfaction. As a person who has commanded thousands of troops, he knew very well how promising this thing was. It was useful in saving people and killing enemies.
“Unfortunately, the triangulation positioning system is complicated and affected by the curvature of the earth, so it is severely limited in mountainous and hilly areas. Even in plains, the ground positioning range is only tens of kilometers.” The leader felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory.
“It seems that the air relay single-point positioning that Comrade Gao Zhendong once proposed is really going to be put on the agenda. According to Comrade Zhendong’s expectations, this thing can provide hundreds of kilometers of air positioning, The Air Force has been coveting this for a long time, let alone providing positioning for a large range of ground troops," the chief engineer said with a smile.
"Inform the research unit of the triangulation positioning system that the deepening of the triangulation positioning system and the launch of the single-point positioning system must be grasped!" the leader said decisively.
In an electronic research institute, the chief engineer of the institute received an email from the National Defense Work Committee.
After reading it, he laughed and walked into a multi-person office nearby.
"Comrades, our regional triangulation positioning system finalization test has a practical case."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at their chief engineer with burning eyes.
