But now, under the current circumstances, Shen Jingye couldn't issue an official order, so Li Banfeng simply took the list and went to find his own channels.

He also had experts, who might not be familiar with advanced equipment from outside provinces, but when it came to this kind of antique equipment, Luo Zhengnan was an expert among experts.

Returning to his residence, Li Banfeng called Luo Zhengnan and explained the list to him.

After listening to it, Luo Zhengnan found it a bit tricky: "Seventh Master, the things this person buys are a bit fragmented, I can only make a rough deduction,

these items can be used to make a TV antenna, a radio, or to play at a higher level, a radio telescope,

but in my experience, the probability of being used for a radio is higher. I have a radio like this on hand, I'll bring it over for you to see another day."

"No need for another day, I'm quite anxious here, I'll come over today to take a look." Li Banfeng went to Greenwater City via Iron Gate Fort, where Luo Zhengnan had prepared all the radios.

In the eyes of young people, a radio is either installed in a car or grasped in the hands of old men in the park, and it's just a palm-sized thing.

The radio Li Banfeng saw this time was taller than himself, and about the same size as the wardrobe at his home.

Luo Zhengnan opened the back cabinet door of the radio and introduced the components one by one.

"Electromagnetic signals in Puluo State are very weak, semiconductor materials from outside provinces don't work, vacuum tubes have good response characteristics in high-frequency ranges, and this thing is stable, not picky about the environment, unlike those new devices from outside provinces, which are so delicate,

vacuum tube equipment is also easy to repair, if a tube breaks you just replace it, unlike those advanced devices where if one part breaks you have to replace a large area."

Li Banfeng roughly understood some of it, he turned on the phone switch, only to hear a series of noises.

"Seventh Master, don't rush, with just electronic equipment, the signals received are very limited. To listen to broadcasts in Puluo State, special materials are needed." Luo Zhengnan took a wooden box and pulled out an antenna from it, connecting it to the radio.

This antenna was very special, it was the one he usually plugged into his brain.

After plugging in the antenna and carefully tuning the knob, the radio finally found a station.

Amidst cheerful gong and flute sounds, Li Banfeng heard an advertisement:

"Brothers, why haven't you harvested your sorghum yet?"

"I don't dare to harvest. A couple of days ago I just chopped up Uncle Six at the village entrance, and the corpse is still lying in the field. If I harvest the sorghum, the corpse will be exposed, and Aunt Six definitely won't spare me!"

"Just hiding it like this is not a solution, have you not tried Old Third Ma's Corpse Dissolving Spirit? A spoonful and it's completely clean, not a trace left, just a bit of liquid, seeps directly into the soil, no need for you to tidy up!"

"Is it really that effective?"

"An old brand, old reputation, I'm a regular customer at his place, how could I deceive you!"

Li Banfeng listened to the advertisement, his mouth opened wide: "This kind of drug can still be openly advertised?"

Luo Zhengnan laughed: "That's the way things are in Puluo State, whatever we do, we do it straightforwardly."

Li Banfeng was angry: "It's not about being straightforward or not, it's that this kind of drug itself is unreasonable, do you know how precious a corpse is? He's just wasting resources by dissolving it with a spoonful of drug!"

Luo Zhengnan was somewhat at a loss: "Then, what should be done with the corpse after killing someone..."

"You should hand it over to me to deal with, I've got plenty of good ways. Tomorrow, let's put up an advertisement too..."

Before he finished speaking, a sweet voice appeared on the radio.

"Dear listeners, I am Ah Hui, and it's that time of year again when we are busy with farming. First, let me express my appreciation to all the Farming Cultivation friends who have been working hard."

Hearing this voice, Li Banfeng was dazed for a long time.

Luo Zhengnan laughed: "Seventh Master, isn't this voice sweet? It's the best broadcaster in the whole of Puluo State."

"The best?"

"Isn't it? Listen again."

The sound quality of the radio was a bit rough, but it couldn't hide the sweetness of the voice: "In a busy season, it's easy for one's mindset to change. When conflicts arise with others, please think thrice before acting,

in just another two months, it will be the snowfall season, whether it's new grievances or old scores, it's best to settle them in the snow, as it's easier to handle the corpses and other follow-up matters..."

Li Banfeng carefully looked at the antenna on the radio: "With this antenna, can I receive this station from outside provinces as well?"

Luo Zhengnan nodded: "You can call me from outside provinces too, it's the same principle."

"What materials is this antenna made of?"

Luo Zhengnan hesitated for a moment.

Li Banfeng said: "It's okay if you don't want to say, no pressure."

This antenna was Luo Zhengnan's livelihood, but since Li Qi asked, Luo Zhengnan still said: "Iron, manganese, nickel, I won't mention these materials, the most crucial material is the Sky Heart Stone,

when refining this antenna, a small piece of Sky Heart Stone was melted, just the size of a fingernail, without this Sky Heart Stone, this antenna would be worth sixty Huan Country Banknotes, with this Sky Heart Stone, even six thousand Ocean Dollars might not be able to trade for it."

Li Banfeng was very clear about the guiding function of the Sky Heart Stone, back then, Chu Shaoqiang used that stone to direct Knife Ghost Ridge to Saint Sage Peak.

Perhaps this thing can also guide electromagnetic signals.

If Du Wenming has a set of equipment similar to the radio, does he also have a Sky Heart Stone?

Surely, since he invested so much, it can't just be for listening to radio, he must be engaged in other research.
