We Live In Nanjing

  Chapter 53 The Second Seminar on Weird Phenomena and Technology of Amateur Radio

  Three failures, finally made the trio of big clever people start to face Bai Yang's suggestion squarely.

  They held the second amateur radio phenomenon and technology seminar in Room 8**5, Zhongqinyuan, Meihua Villa on the evening of October 13, 2019.

  The guests attending the meeting are:

  Director Wang Ning, representative of Nanjing Radio Management Committee.

  Associate Professor Zhao Bowen, representative of the School of Physics, Nanjing University.

  Bai Zhen, the representative of Nanjing's online car-hailing driver.

  Bai Yang, the representative of senior high school students from China Southern Airlines Affiliated Middle School in Nanjing.

  The meeting was presided over by Bai Yang, a senior high school student from Nanjing China Southern Airlines High School and an undocumented illegal HAM representative.

"With a large number of time capsules, it is still a bit difficult to achieve the double-blind principle. After all, it is such a big thing. You can use one or two. If you bring five or eight, others will inevitably be curious." Zhao Bowen Stuck in the sofa, holding a thermos cup in his hand, "Also, if there are more, it will be more difficult to bury it in secret. There is a contradiction in the fact that the things we send in the past should be as inconspicuous as possible, too. It's too big or special."

  "Where did Xiao Yang hide before?" Wang Ning asked.

  "At Crescent Lake." Bai Yang replied.

  "Who did you arrange to hide the time capsule for you?" Wang Ning asked again.

   "Forgot." Bai Yang stretched out his hands, "The night when the time capsule was buried, I grabbed the ground with my head, concussed myself and caused amnesia. I can't remember who was responsible for it."

  White Yang will of course not disclose it to anyone.

  This is very strange. He will never disclose information to anyone subjectively. There is no doubt that this is Bai Yang’s free will and his subjective initiative.

  But he knew that the time capsule was picked up by the girl a few days ago, and the capsule was picked up, and he predicted that the future Baiyang would do it.

  So at this moment, Bai Yang’s decision is his free will or his fate?

Bai Yang thinks in his mind. It is difficult for him to imagine a future that is completely unknowable to him. It is a long-established history for BG4MSR. Bai Yang thinks that the decision he made is actually a corner of the history book that has settled down. Is this a coincidence? Does one's own subjective choice coincide with the trend of history, or does it mean that oneself is controlled by some unknowable force, which pushes itself toward a certain path?

   Bai Yang raised his hand and waved in the air.

  As if to brush off the invisible puppet string hanging from his limbs.

  "What's wrong with Yang Yang?" asked Zhao Bowen, who was sitting opposite.

   "There are mosquitoes." Bai Yang said.

  In fact, Bai Yang also thought about it, if he went to find Yan Zhihan now and asked her to tell himself the exact location of the time capsule, and then reveal this information, what would happen—what would happen to the BG4MSR that had found the time capsule?

  But he just thinks about it, and will not act.

  Because he will not take action, BG4MSR can pick up the time capsule. If he is a person who can take action, then BG4MSR will not find the capsule at the beginning, and the plan will still fail.

   Bai Yang thought silently.

  This is part of history.

  Including that he would have the idea of ​​"going to Yan Ge to ask the exact location of the capsule", but not putting it into practice. This is also part of history.

  Thinking of this, Bai Yang was deeply worried.

  If everything you do is part of history, doesn’t it mean that the future cannot be changed? The black moon must come? The end will come?

  "How many time capsules are you going to send in this batch?" Zhao Bowen asked.

   "If you want to stay concealed, don't give too much, cut in half." Wang Ning muttered, "I think it's almost enough to give five. This time I will experiment with what Xiao Yang did before."

  Wang Ning gave up.

  He had to admit that Bai Yang’s time capsule was really different from what he had played before.

  It’s really hard to understand, why is it so difficult to send a time capsule?

"There is still room for improvement in Yang Yang's approach. If double blindness is to be ensured, the person preparing the capsule and the person burying the capsule cannot know each other." Zhao Bowen pointed out the flaws in the Bai Yang plan. "If two people know each other, there is still collusion. The possibility of the specific location of the capsule, the ideal situation is that the two people preparing the capsule and burying the capsule do not know each other, are not in contact with each other, and have no relationship with each other."

  It's simple to say, but the four of you present here are a lot of problems in operation. It is almost impossible to have no connection between two people.

  They put the entire action plan on paper bit by bit:

  First, Wang Ning’s party prepared the time capsule, sent a person to take the capsule and set off, and met the second person at the designated place.

  The second person was sent by Zhao Bowen. He was responsible for receiving the capsule and hiding the time capsule in Yueya Lake.

  Since the two do not know each other, the plan must be careful, and the joint location, joint time and joint code must be agreed in advance.

  The person responsible for burying the time capsule, after hiding the capsule, uses the method proposed by Bai Yang to transmit the location via WeChat voice.

  The first half of the plan must be meshed with the second half like gears. It's hard to imagine that the intelligence organization has the same careful plan to send information, and it is actually for express delivery. People on both sides are selected by Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen separately. At the same time, they have to solve their own problems. People on Wang Ning’s side cannot secretly open the capsule and take a peek. Anyone inside mentioned it.

  At the same time, note that there is actually no relationship between the two people who give the capsule and hide the capsule.

  Wang Ning arranged for the person who gave the capsule, then this person must know Wang Ning.

  Zhao Bowen arranges the person to bury the capsule, so this person must know Zhao Bowen.

  Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen are old acquaintances.

  This relationship chain is established.

  Theoretically, there is the possibility that the two will know each other through Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen.

  But this is the ultimate they can do.

  Bai Zhen proposed another plan during the discussion: hire a stranger who no one knows online or on the street, and he will bury the capsule.

  But the four quickly ruled out this option.

  Pulling someone over on the street meets the condition of complete strangeness, but complete strangeness also brings a high degree of uncontrollability and instability. If you want to be extreme, what if this person gets the time capsule and runs away? In addition, finding a safe place to bury the capsule is not a simple task. It takes time to carefully select it. It is possible to get a random person to get it perfunctory and cause the plan to fail.

  They realize that it is impossible to meet all the conditions. It is impossible to cut the connection and reduce the relationship while ensuring the control and stability of the plan. This is a contradictory condition.

   "I'll find someone to help. I will prepare the capsule first and hand it to him after packaging." Wang Ning said, "He will be responsible for the second person."

   "I'm looking for the second person." Zhao Bowen continued, "We have to fix the time and place of a joint."

"One more thing to pay attention to, Lao Wang, you must not let Lao Zhao know who the person you are looking for is. You must not let Lao Wang know who the person you are looking for is." Bai Zhen said, "You are the two of the plans. In part, you must keep both parties completely confidential. The only things you know at the same time are the location of the connection, the time and the code."

   "Okay." Wang Ning nodded, and got up at the same time as Zhao Bowen, "We will go back and prepare, the newly bought time capsule should be coming soon."

   "Uncle Wang, remember to put rat poison!" Bai Yang reminded.

   "I know." Wang Ning muttered, "This is really the most troublesome time capsule I have ever played in my life."
