Chapter 1,442 An excuse for a visit, an opportunity knocks on your doorstep!
The moment the signal sound suddenly sounded, 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 coming 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 his eyes turned slightly red.
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 to cause discomfort.
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 can't analyze the other party's frequency band, which leads to the phenomenon of exploding the detection range of the detector.
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.
Moreover, the direction of ordinary divine power fluctuations can be roughly determined 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 correct.
"32 degrees northeast, keep going!"
"Turn southwest 117 degrees, turn quickly, the signal is getting weaker!"
"Speed up, speed up!"
"No, the signal is obviously weakening. Get me a map."
Guo Bulo kept giving orders and decided the direction of the ship based on the signal from the detector.
For ordinary special items, the signal can last for about ten to fifteen minutes, after which it will rapidly decay.
Even if there are occasional ones that can last for twenty minutes, the final signal will 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 every kilometer it advanced, it had to stop to check its direction. This meant that half an hour passed before it was almost twenty kilometers away.
"Here comes the map!"
The guard on the ship pulled over two maps.
One is the surrounding terrain map, and the other is the power distribution map.
Based on 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 Bulao was quite surprised and thought that he was really lucky.
If there are small territories that are supported by other federal territories within the response range, then some means must be used.
Now it's simple, Tyrell's territory belongs to you, you can search it however you want.
The other two territories are also small territories that are not on the support list. If they are given a small profit, they may be forced to cooperate with Tyrell's territory.
It's this complex terrain...
Guo Bulao 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 negligible.
"The things are not on the island, nor in this area. The Dragon Palace territory can be excluded."
"Head to that boulder territory!"
Fortunately, it is not near the Dragon Palace territory. There are many tributaries of the Dragon Immortal River here, as well as many lakes and deep valleys.
If that special item is underwater, it will be too troublesome to find it.
As the saying goes, you should bully the mountains rather than the water. 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 had passed, and it was almost nine o'clock, and the signal response was 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.
From a distance, a not-so-shabby stone pier came into view, with an eye-catching signboard swaying gently in the wind, and a few large characters engraved on it -
‘The Rock Pier’.
Under the early morning sunshine, this pier looked particularly peaceful, and there was no noisy gathering 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 a pier built on the boulder territory.
"It's strange, this pier is really well-built."
Guo Bulao squinted his eyes and looked at this seamless, natural-looking pier.
There are not many traces of artificial excavation on the pier. It looks like it was poured in one go.
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, acting neither humble nor overbearing.
"Tell them we dropped something nearby and we're looking for it... Well, just say it naturally and don't draw attention to it."
Guo Bulo reminded me 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 find something, do you need our help?"
"No, no, no, we might stop nearby, sorry for bothering you." The guard on the patrol boat was also very good at doing things. As he spoke, 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, so he planned to go to Tyrell's territory to take a look and look for it.
Wait until the reaction is strong again tomorrow, 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 also apply for more funds, and then it will be simple to improve the machine."
Guo Bulao turned the 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 there be such headless flies as now? We can only use the elimination method to filter them out one by one.
"Hey, what's going on? It's not responding. It's broken?"
I turned the knob twice, but there was no response from the pointer.
Guo Buloh raised his hand and patted the top of the machine a few times as if repairing an old-fashioned big-head TV.
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound is quite loud, but it has no effect.
No matter how much the knob is turned, the four reading pointers cannot be reset to zero and are all kept at the maximum level.
And unlike before, when a strong signal is received, 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 was burned out?"
There was a trace of astonishment 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, won't the earphones be killed too?"
I picked up the headphones and listened to them, 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.
He died before leaving the army.
Nothing was found, but there was something wrong with the machine. The project would definitely be questioned by the people in the territory.
If you want to apply for the next batch of funds, it seems that the difficulty 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 to the maximum limit, swinging back and forth.
.
"Fuck...fuck, what the hell is going on?"
Guo Bulao was stunned.
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 the range cannot be displayed.
Now that the signal fluctuations have shrunk, it is possible to detect them.
"It's the same thing, it...it's here again!"
Guo Bulo stood up excitedly. This was the first time he encountered an object that could send out two signals in a single day.
Could it be that the current location is extremely close to the hiding place of that item?
"Go to Tyrell territory, quickly, quickly!"
The patrol boat set off, 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 just looking for something? 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 towards 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 cottage." The guard didn't know why and nodded in reply.
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 received 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, and if you’re not sure whether you should say something, just shut up.
"Have you noticed anything weird recently?"
"Hmm..." The guard captain frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly.
"Can we go in?"
"Well..." 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 help us apply."
The thing he wanted to find was on the stone mountain in this boulder territory. Guo Buloh 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 shut down the detection machine.
What a pity.
"Um... I'm 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 distinguished guests. You can leave your contact information and we will send someone to notify you when we open the cottage."
Was it rejected?
Guo Bulo's first reaction was a little disbelief, but then he immediately understood that his application was really 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 also 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 Golden Eagle Tesla. Later, I will ask the lord to apply to the lord of your territory through official channels!"
"Excuse me, distinguished guest." The guard captain nodded obediently and kept the name Tesla Territory in his heart.
As soon as the patrol boat left, he quickly opened the game panel and sent the name to Lou Zhigang.
"The Golden Eagle's, 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.
"Looks like our opportunity is here!"
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.
