The moment the signal sounded suddenly, it was like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, instantly lighting up everything around it.
The patrol boat equipped with three heavy-duty motors suddenly picked up speed and began to wander around.
Boom.
Boom.
There was a continuous blasting sound from the headphones, like muffled thunder, sometimes high-pitched and harsh, sometimes low and gentle.
Guo Bulo's eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement, and the light was so intense that it even made his eyes blush slightly.
The torment and sleepiness of the whole night were all swept away by this sudden excitement at this moment, leaving only madness.
Ordinary special items, even if they are close at hand, the signal level is far from this level.
At best, the detection value of the detector will soar to a high level, and the sound can still be controlled within an appropriate range, neither too weak to be ignored nor too noisy. And uncomfortable.
However, the special item detected now is different.
Abstractly speaking, Guo Buluo even felt that someone was talking to him through this signal detector.
It’s just that the detector cannot analyze the other party’s frequency band, which causes the detector’s detection range to explode.
What kind of thing can actually talk?
Guo Bulo didn't dare to think that this was something he had never come into contact with since he studied these special items.
And ordinary divine power fluctuations can also roughly determine the direction through changes in sound.
He could only barely judge the current fluctuations through the reading pointer on the instrument.
If the pointer jumps faster, it means the direction is right.
"32 degrees northeast, keep going!"
"Turn 117 degrees southwest, turn fast, the signal is getting weaker!"
"Accelerate, accelerate!"< br>
"No, the signal has obviously weakened. Get me a map."
Guo Bulo kept giving orders, deciding the direction of the ship based on the detector's signal.
For ordinary special items, the signal can last for about ten to fifteen minutes, and then it will quickly decay.
Even if there are occasional ones that can last for twenty minutes, the final signal can hardly guide the direction.
This special item is different. Half an hour has passed before the signal is slightly attenuated.
Unfortunately, the speed of the patrol boat was not very fast, and it had to stop to check the direction every kilometer forward. This meant that half an hour had passed before it was almost twenty kilometers away.
“Here are the maps!”
The guards on the ship pulled two maps.
One is the surrounding terrain map, and the other is the power distribution map.
According to the signal response passed back, Guo Buloh quickly confirmed the search target.
In this direction, the terrain is more complicated, with mountains, rivers, deep valleys, and lakes, so there are only three territories.
They are the 'Tyrrell Territory' supported by the Tesla Territory, the surrounding 'Boulder Territory' built on the mountains, and the 'Dragon Palace Territory' surrounded by the tributaries of the Dragon Immortal River.
“This is quite simple.”
Guo Bulo was quite surprised and thought that he was really lucky.
If there are small territories supported by other federal territories within the response range, then some means must be used.
Now it's simple. Tyrell's territory belongs to his own people, so he can search it as he wants.
The other two territories are also small territories that are not on the help list. If they are given a small profit, they may be asked to cooperate by Tyrell's territory.
It’s this complicated terrain.
Guo Broo paused and planned to put the Tyrell territory last according to the elimination method.
Following the fluctuations, Guo Buloh eliminated the first point when the fluctuations were minimal.
"The things are not on the island, nor in this area. The Dragon Palace territory can be ruled out."
"Go to that boulder territory!"
Fortunately, it is not near the Dragon Palace territory. There are many giant dragon immortals here. River tributaries, many lakes and deep valleys.
If that special item is underwater, it will be too troublesome to find it.
As the saying goes, Guo Bulao would rather lead his people to dig three feet deep in the mountains than stay in the water for one more minute.
The patrol boat turned around and set off again along the map.
Almost forty minutes have passed, and it is almost nine o'clock, and the signal response is almost non-existent.
Only the slightly beating numbers on the instrument can barely guide the direction.
The patrol boat plowed through the waves on the sparkling river.
In the distance, a not too simple stone pier came into view, with an eye-catching signboard swaying gently in the wind, with a few large characters engraved on it——
‘The Rock Pier’.
Under the early morning sunshine, this pier looks particularly peaceful. It does not have the noisy crowds of people like other territories.
Looking closer, I saw nearly a hundred sampans of various sizes parked densely on the pier.
There is no power boat, it should be the dock built in the boulder territory.
“It’s strange, this pier is quite beautiful.”
Guo Bulao squinted his eyes and looked at this seamless, natural-looking pier.
The pier does not have many traces of manual excavation. It looks like it was poured at once.
But with ordinary stone, the steps cannot be so fine, without any unnecessary ups and downs.
He lowered his head and glanced at the reading on the instrument.
Well, the pointer has almost reached zero.
I don’t know if it’s because the thing is not within the boulder territory, or if the fluctuation has disappeared.
From the stone house behind the pier, four guards armed with guns came out.
"Anyone who comes, please stop. This is the control area of the Boulder Territory. What do you do?"
The leading guard glanced at the conspicuous golden eagle logo on the ship and took a step forward. Act neither humble nor arrogant.
“Tell them we dropped something nearby and we are looking for it. Well, say it naturally and don’t draw attention to it.”
Guo Bulo reminded that the specific response location of that special item cannot be found today, and it will inevitably wander around in the next few days.
The patrol boat needs a suitable reason so as not to attract the other party's attention.
Although there are no consequences for attracting attention to such a small territory that is not on the support list, Guo Bulao, adhering to a cautious style, does not want to cause trouble.
"It's okay to look for something. Do you need our help?"
"No, no, no, we might stop nearby, sorry for bothering you." The guards on the patrol boat are also very good at it. Working, while talking, he pulled out half a bag of dried fruits from the cabin.
Realizing that the relationship between the two parties was handled harmoniously, Guo Bulo nodded with satisfaction and returned to the machine again.
It was still early, and he planned to go to Tyrell’s territory to have a look and look for it.
Wait until tomorrow when the reaction becomes stronger again, and then explore the surrounding area of this boulder territory.
“I hope that the special function of this thing can be of some help to the territory, so that we can apply for more funds, and then it will be simple to improve the machine.”
Guo Bulo turned Knob, the more he used the No. 1 machine, the more eager he was to improve it. Especially for the most important position identification function, it would be much more convenient if the signal source could be analyzed.
Where can we be like headless flies like now? We can only use the elimination method to filter them out one by one.
"Hey, what's going on? No response, broken?"
I turned the knob twice, but there was no response from the pointer.
Guo Bulo raised his hand, as if repairing an old-fashioned big-head TV, and patted the top of the machine a few times.
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound is quite loud, but it has no effect.
No matter how much you turn the knob, the four reading pointers still cannot return to zero, and they are all kept at the maximum limit.
And unlike before, when receiving a strong signal, the pointer will continue to tremble at the maximum limit.
This time the pointer was completely stuck and there was no response at all.
"What's going on? Could it be that the fluctuation just now was too strong and my machine burned it out?"
A trace of surprise appeared on Guo Bulo's face.
When the margin was designed at that time, the detector had been enlarged as much as possible. How could it still be burned?
"Headphones, aren't they also killed?"
Picked up the earphones, leaned on them and listened, and sure enough, there was no sound coming out.
It seems that there should be a problem with the previous signal, and the machine malfunctioned after running for a long time.
Then he tried to repair it in various ways. After confirming that it could not be repaired without taking it apart, Guo Bulo could only sigh.
Died before leaving the army.
Nothing was found, but there was something wrong with the machine. The project will definitely be questioned by the people in the territory.
It seems that the difficulty of applying for the next batch of funds will increase a lot.
"We must find that special item." He secretly made up his mind.
However, at this moment, the completely dead detector suddenly responded.
Boom!
An unprecedented muffled sound, like the roar of an ancient beast, suddenly exploded from the headphones.
Guo Bulo was so frightened that he trembled and stood up directly.
Immediately afterwards, deafening rumbling sounds like drums were continuously transmitted from the headphones, like thunder in the sky and roaring in the ground, intertwined into an unknown and strange symphony.
At the same time, the pointer on the instrument also began to dance crazily, as if disturbed by some invisible force. First it suddenly returned to zero, as if everything was erased in an instant, and then it rushed back again. To the maximum, swing back and forth.
“Holy shit, shit, what the hell is going on?”
Guo Bulo was confused.
His first reaction was that the machine had a more serious quality problem.
But after a few seconds, he suddenly realized that the previous crash was not a problem with the machine, but that the fluctuation far exceeded the detection range.
Every minute and every second, the signal received by the machine exceeds that limit, so it cannot display the range.
Now that the signal fluctuations have shrunk, it is possible to detect it.
“It’s the same thing, it. It’s here again!”
Guo Bulo stood up excitedly. This was the first time he encountered something that could send out two signals in a single day. thing.
Could it be that the current location is extremely close to the hiding place of that item?
"Go to Tyrell's territory, quickly, quickly!"
The patrol boat started, cutting through the river with powerful power, and galloped towards Tyrell's territory.
The four guards standing on the shore were a little strange at first. Weren't they still looking for something just now? Why did they leave in such a hurry within a few minutes?
However, less than ten minutes later, the patrol boat came back again and stopped suddenly in front of the pier.
In the cabin, a red-faced man ran out and looked in the direction of the village in shock.
His eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if he had discovered something incomprehensible.
"Then that's the boulder territory?"
"Yes, yes, that's our mountain stronghold." The guard didn't know why and nodded in response.
Just now, he had reported the arrival of the patrol ship to Lou Zhigang through a private chat in the game panel.
The answer I got was that we must keep a sufficient distance from these "distinguished guests" coming from the golden giant eagle.
Too close is not good, and too far is not good either.
To sum it up in two sentences, don’t say a word you shouldn’t say. If you’re not sure whether you should say something, just shut up.
"Have you discovered anything weird recently?"
"Yeah" the guard captain frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly.
"Can we go in?"
"Yeah" the guard captain continued to shake his head.
"We cannot allow irrelevant people to enter the territory. If you want to enter, I can apply to the lord."
"Then you can apply for us."
Yes The thing he found was on the stone mountain in this boulder territory. Guo Bulo lowered his voice and tried to look normal.
Although he knew very well, his motives were clearly exposed in his reactions, and his purpose was extremely strong.
But at this moment, he could no longer bear the excitement and couldn't wait to find that special item that could make the detection machine freeze.
What a pity.
"Sorry, I just received news from the lord. The cottage in the territory is drying grain these days. We are sorry that we cannot receive all distinguished guests. You can leave your contact information and we will send someone to notify you when we open the cottage."
Rejected?
Guo Bulo's first reaction was a little disbelief, but then he immediately understood that his application was indeed abrupt.
First of all, he did not reveal his identity clearly, and the other party did not even know which territory they came from.
Furthermore, their purpose is very strong. It is normal for the other party to be on guard. It would be a bit strange to welcome them in so easily.
The last and most important point.
The Boulder Territory is not on the list of assistance, and has neither enjoyed assistance nor the benefits of the Golden Eagle.
Perhaps they still harbor resentment towards the Golden Eagle, but they dare not show it obviously due to the strength gap between the two.
"I understand, we are from the territory of Tesla, the Golden Eagle. Later, I will ask the lord to apply with the lord of your territory through official channels!"
"Sorry to trouble you, dear guest. ." The guard captain nodded obediently and kept the name Tesla Territory in his heart.
As soon as the patrol ship left, he quickly opened the game panel and sent the name to Lou Zhigang.
“The Golden Eagle, or the Tesla Territory that is helping the Tyrell Territory next to it?”
In the room, Lao Zhang suddenly stood up from his stool, bared his yellow teeth and smiled.
“It seems that our opportunity has come to our door!”
Although it is not clear what the other party is looking for, what the Boulder Territory needs is an opportunity for the other party to take the initiative.
