Chapter 199 The Internet is Connected
Unlike Lu Xingye, Zhou Yang was more concerned about whether he had enough materials; he still had plenty of network cables and data cables in his space.
However, Gu Tianqi said that the military had brought back a lot of cables, which should be enough for simple wiring.
Zhou Yang was relieved, but still mentioned to Gu Tianqi that he had a lot of extra cables and could come and get them anytime if needed.
Gu Tianqi smiled and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not hesitate to ask if needed.
The rest of the time, Zhou Yang and his team waited for the local area network to be set up.
But first, they had to find their respective cell phones.
Long after the signal and battery died, people gradually put their phones down, and now no one knows where they've been thrown away.
It's impossible to lose it, after all, there are many important photos and videos inside. They were just stuffed in carelessly when packing the luggage, and in the end, they were all stored in Zhou Yang's space.
Zhou Yang then took out everyone's luggage again, and everyone searched high and low for a long time before finding it one by one.
Actually, there are many brand new phones and tablets in Zhou Yang's space, but everyone still prefers their old phones, so they decided to find them.
Zhou Yang also spoke with Chi Feng and the other three next door about this, asking them to prepare their communication equipment as soon as possible.
However, he guessed that Chi Feng should have been prepared.
As expected, Chi Feng was only slightly surprised after hearing this: "Tsk, the internet connection is pretty early this time. Luckily, I was prepared!"
Then he took out a whole box of unopened new mobile phones, quite a variety, but without exception, they were all the most expensive ones on the market.
"Your team has a lot of people, do you have enough phones? If not, take a few more from me. My husband, Huajuan, has several boxes of phones, enough for everyone!"
"No need, no need, I still have several boxes of brand new phones in my space." Zhou Yang quickly waved his hand and refused.
Chi Feng thought it made sense, so he didn't insist anymore. He gave one to each member of their team and had Hua Juan take the rest back.
About half a month later, the underground local area network was finally completed.
The military released the news immediately and urged families to equip themselves with a communication device to receive important messages from the base in the future.
Although most people throw away their tablets and computers after they run out of power because they don't need them, they take up space and are heavy.
However, because the phone contains photos of relatives and children, many people are reluctant to throw it away, and even though it's just a piece of metal, they carefully keep it.
Even if not everyone can have one, almost every family keeps one as a keepsake.
However, not many people in the dormitory still have cell phones, so everyone has to share one.
Actually, the phone itself is a minor issue; the main problem is that most phones no longer have chargers.
So everyone went to the temporary office to redeem chargers with their points.
However, the military doesn't have many spare chargers, so they can only stipulate that each household is equipped with one charger, while in the dormitories, one charger is provided for every 20 people.
Due to the severe shortage of supply, the military had to set up a separate public charging area in the public area, where people could charge their devices by paying a certain number of points.
Because there are dedicated guards watching over the place, there's no need to worry about anyone stealing your phone or charger.
Survivors with savings are also quite willing to go there to recharge, as one point can charge for several hours.
Zhou Yang and his friends didn't have this problem; they didn't even need to use the charger.
Since discovering Shen Zechuan's charging capabilities, all the batteries in the house have been handed over to him, including the current mobile phones and tablets.
It can be said that Shen Zechuan's role was brought to its fullest potential.
……
Just as Yan Fei said, this local area network has very limited functionality.
After everyone's phones were connected, they found that all the software they used before was useless and none of them could be used. The only website they could log into was a webpage called Baijishan Base Forum.
This forum is very simple. Apart from the official announcements section, there is only one discussion section, and nothing else.
But this also gave everyone a place to vent, and many people posted messages there.
Some wanted to barter, others wrote apocalyptic reflections, but most were asking when this apocalypse would end.
Zhou Yang even saw that someone was actually writing a novel on the forum, a science fiction and future-themed one. There were quite a few people urging him to update, and seeing that it was well-written, he also started reading it.
Later, finding it interesting, he shared it with other people, and everyone enjoyed reading the novel together.
Compared to Zhou Yang and his friends' indifference, Ni Fan next door was filled with disgust from head to toe when he saw such a rudimentary network.
This little lousy net is really terrible.
So after enduring it for a few days, I couldn't resist anymore. I took the computer from Chi Feng, connected to the internet, and started typing away. In just half an hour, I widened, heightened, and thickened that little bit of internet, and created quite a few new things.
When the researchers from the information department, who were responsible for monitoring the local area network, looked at it again, the simple local area network they had built had changed drastically.
Furthermore, each user's device connected to the network now has a new app called Baijishan Base.
Upon opening it, I found that in addition to the original functions of issuing official notices and daily user communication, many improvements had been made and some other functions had been added. For example, users can only post and leave messages on the forum after registering with their real names. Users can also apply to open an online store to buy and sell goods, or write novels on it to earn rewards.
They even created a special task section that connects all the tasks released by the official team and individuals so far, allowing everyone to view all the tasks online.
The researchers immediately traced the IP address of the person who made the change, and eventually discovered it was on their main switchboard...
The group immediately realized they had encountered a master.
It was completely unexpected that such a big shot was hidden in this base.
The group didn't dare to be presumptuous and immediately reported the matter to the military. However, the military couldn't find out anything, and after the other party made the changes, they didn't try to control it. Instead, they made the local area network even more perfect.
After several days of busywork, seeing that the other party meant no harm, I had no choice but to give up.
Only Zhou Yang and his group, upon seeing the app and its well-designed layout, realized it was likely the work of Ni Fan from next door.
However, since it only benefits the base and does nothing to harm it, and since they had no intention of showing off, they all remained silent.
