Chapter 46 Satellites and Positioning! Exchange?
Lin Wan held an ice cream cone in her hand, happily licking the silky ice cream like a kitten.
With big eyes, it surveyed its surroundings, looking at everything with curiosity.
They craned their necks and stared intently at the map on Chen Huai'an's phone.
I could almost touch her dark, lustrous hair with my nose and smell its delicate fragrance.
Looking at the changed distance, her pretty face was full of surprise.
"You mean this arrow represents our current location, and the other end represents our destination?"
"Yes, this is satellite positioning."
What is satellite positioning?
"A satellite is a man-made spacecraft that is launched into space orbit and then transmits our location data."
"You mean we're being monitored by satellites? These street maps of yours were taken from space?"
"That's one way to understand it, but satellites usually don't photograph individuals; they only monitor valuable military targets."
"With every step we take, the distance changes; it's much more advanced than radar monitoring vehicles!"
"Hehe, besides monitoring our location, it can also detect the location of other phones."
"That's amazing?!"
Lin Wan stared wide-eyed in surprise, her heart filled with horror.
Even deep down, a sense of vigilance arose subconsciously.
In her mind, the only things that can fly in the sky are airplanes and kites.
Being able to pinpoint the source of a transmission via radio waves is already a very advanced monitoring method.
It's unbelievable that one day humanity will be able to break through the atmosphere and launch spacecraft into space!
Moreover, I've heard that only 12 countries in the world are capable of independently launching satellites, and only 3 countries truly dominate space.
And China is one of them!
Thinking of the weakness and technological backwardness of the Republic of China during her time, and comparing it with the technologically advanced new China, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pride.
The shock I felt was beyond words.
The technology of the two eras is worlds apart!
She was very careful when sending telegrams during the Republic of China era, but she could only pinpoint a general range, not a precise one.
Other methods are needed to find the specific source of the message.
Furthermore, ionospheric reflection and weather interference can affect accuracy.
However, this tiny mobile phone can be connected to satellites in space and transmit data in real time.
If what Chen Huai'an said is true, and it is possible to pinpoint the location of other mobile phones with such precision.
So if you expose your identity while lying in wait, your location can be accurately pinpointed and you can be arrested?
What really sent chills down her spine was that she was being monitored and located by satellite without even realizing it!
I couldn't help but feel relieved. Luckily, the Kuomintang reactionaries in the Republic of China didn't have these advanced technologies, otherwise they would probably not only have been exposed, but their communication stations would have also been attacked!
Lin Wan's gaze was somewhat dazed, her little brain still reeling from the shock of satellite positioning.
suddenly
She instinctively moved closer to Chen Huai'an, keeping her distance from the police officers on duty ahead.
She is currently unregistered and instinctively avoids having her ID checked.
Moreover, she subconsciously felt a little scared when she saw the patrol robot standing next to the police car.
Although she had also read the science fiction script "Rossam's Omnipotent Robot".
But I still feel a little scared when I actually face this machine that is taller than a person and has hands and feet.
In an era before computers were even invented, it's understandable to feel uncomfortable to suddenly see robots that can autonomously execute commands and walk around.
I didn't relax until I turned the corner.
suddenly
Chen Huai'an stopped and turned to look at a women's clothing store: "You only have one set of clothes, and it'll start to smell in a couple more days. Why don't you buy a few sets on the way? We're millionaires now!"
His voice was strong and clear when he spoke, and he even straightened his back more.
Money really does give men courage; when you have money in your pocket, you can even speak with a strong voice!
No more worrying about people calling to split the bill for a get-together, and having to make excuses to decline because you're short on cash.
The two also reached an agreement on profit sharing last night.
Lin Wan had originally conveyed the superior's message that the deal should be split 50/50.
However, Chen Huai'an firmly disagreed, and only after much persuasion did he agree to take 20%, with the rest of the money going to Lin Wan to purchase supplies.
Today we sold over ten million yuan worth of antiques, and even 20% of that would amount to nearly three million yuan.
That's enough to buy a 100-square-meter apartment in the JS district!
Lin Wan has excellent eyesight. She glanced at the price tag hanging on the clothes by the door and immediately shook her head.
"It's too expensive. I'm just managing the funds on behalf of the organization."
Although the task of changing clothes and integrating was assigned to me by the organization, and there was corresponding funding, it was not the only one.
But I think it's better to go to the night market and check out the modern clothes.
The underground party was short of funds and they were so desperate to make every penny count. They were truly terrified of poverty!
Even though she now controls a huge amount of funds, she still hasn't forgotten her original intentions.
Looking at her pretty face, Chen Huai'an couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.
I thought to myself with a sigh: No wonder everyone misses the older generation; they truly haven't forgotten their original aspirations!
But the more this is the case, the more it inspires him to want the girl in front of him to live a good life and wear brand-name fashions that ordinary white-collar women can afford.
In his view, the older generation of revolutionaries sacrificed their lives to establish a new China!
They're not stealing or robbing, so what's wrong with letting them wear some nicer clothes?
He said, "Your funds are for purchasing supplies, while I can spend my money however I want. Buying you clothes as a gift shouldn't violate any principles, right?"
Lin Wan opened her mouth as if to refuse.
Chen Huai'an said seriously, "Don't refuse yet, listen to me."
After we made money by trading goods during the Republic of China era, starting a company was inevitable.
In business, partners need to be assessed based on their strength.
If we wear clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan from a street stall, even if people don't think we're scammers, they'll still assume we're poor.
When it comes time to discuss cooperation, it's inevitable that the other party will look down on us.
When starting a business, some small business owners will buy nice clothes and take out a loan to buy a nice car to make a good impression.
The purpose is to enter the social class and avoid being looked down upon and ostracized.
Some startups even rent luxury cars during business negotiations in order to enhance their social status.
Of course, if we were as rich as Jack Ma, even wearing cloth shoes and riding a bicycle would be seen as returning to simplicity.
Even ordinary people's attire is a form of self-presentation, so as not to be looked down upon when negotiating business!
Therefore, your clothing is not a personal choice, but a disguise for the mission!
Keep your funds for the organization to purchase supplies; the clothes I'm sending are a tribute to the revolutionary predecessors.
It's a deal, you can't refuse!
His voice was strong and clear, carrying an air of unquestionable authority.
When a man has money in his pocket, he becomes more confident, and even his demeanor improves!
Lin Wan pursed her lips and thought for a moment before nodding gently in agreement.
However, she never takes advantage of others.
He whispered, "Is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you with my salary from the Republic of China era!"
