  The European beacons' signal splatter to African stations lasted for a very long time, almost until the end of the contest on the second day. By then, there were only a few African stations left on the air, and except for some technically skilled and well-equipped hams, only a handful of lucky participants managed to catch a few African prefixes. Most people returned empty-handed.

  Many experienced ham operators have little hope for the multiplier from African countries, after a few attempts at luck and finding it doesn't work, they simply put their energy into getting basic points. After all, getting basic points is still relatively easy, and a dozen or so basic points can be equivalent to a multiplier point, which is more reliable.

  In the intense competition, two days passed in a flash.

  In these two days, the vast majority of people still went about their daily routines as usual, going out early and returning late. They had no idea that during these two days, a massive amount of wireless signals had appeared around them, nor did they know that the kid who stayed at home every day might have communicated with dozens or even hundreds of countries around the world during this time.

  This is a grand feast that only hams can enjoy, and it's also where the fascinating charm of wireless waves lies.

  In these two days, those who really participated in the competition exhausted most of their energy. Many people fell asleep on the floor in front of the radio as soon as the game was over. As for the result, let's talk about it after waking up.

  On Monday, Lin Hong had to go to school, so he stopped the game before 8 o'clock. From Saturday to Sunday, a total of forty-eight hours, his actual participation time was about two-thirds, and some time was wasted in between due to eating and resting.

  Lin Hong just had a tryout mindset for the competition, not necessarily to achieve a good result. He was well-prepared in advance and took it seriously during the competition, which is the basic respect for the game. As for the final outcome, it will have to wait at least until a month later.

  He still had one more thing to do, which was to organize the match records he had recorded earlier and mail them to the organizer, the American CQ magazine. According to OH3LUS, it would be best if they could submit electronic files of their radio records using a computer, through something called "the Internet".

  But this way is obviously unrealistic for Lin Hong, he has not even seen a computer, let alone what "network" is. At that time, Lin Hong's understanding of computers was still a relatively vague concept, and as for what "network" was, he understood it like this: computers are equivalent to telephones, and many "telephones" connected together form a "network". In oh3lus' mouth, the "network" is a very powerful thing that can do many exciting things, its wonderfulness even exceeds radio.

  Lin Hong was unable to submit electronic records, so he had to use the paper documents used by his predecessors and mail them internationally, of course, at a considerable cost.

  After having breakfast, Lin Hong and Sun Wu went to school together.

  Sonny went to Dongling City on Saturday and stayed at Xiaopang's home for one night, returning only yesterday afternoon.

  "Hongzi, it's really a pity that you didn't go this time." Sun Wu shook his head regretfully. "I went to Xiao Pang's house, and I was amazed - that kid is simply too lucky! His room was filled with all sorts of toys, including several toy guns and a huge Transformers model..." Sun Wu gestured with both hands.

  From a young age, his toys were swords and sticks, while Lin Hong's toys were all sorts of electronic components. Compared to Pan Teng, it was like heaven and earth, with no basis for comparison.

  However, Lin Hong, who was extremely precocious from a young age, was not interested in these toys at all. To put it bluntly, he could make better ones himself if conditions allowed. In his opinion, toys were only meaningful if they were handmade. Just like the mineral radio he made before, and the amateur wireless electronics he played with now.

  He planned in his heart that when conditions permit, he would make a computer by himself to play with.

  Sun Wu saw Lin Hong unmoved, and he had expected this. He continued to say: "I'm telling you, apart from those toys, Xiao Pang's family also has a game console. It's just a small box that can be plugged directly into the TV to play games, and the games inside are very interesting. I played it at his house all day yesterday."

  "Oh?" Lin Hong's interest was suddenly piqued, "Tell me in detail, what does it look like?"

  "It's roughly... slightly smaller than a washbasin, square in shape, with two palm-sized rectangular handles on the sides that can be used to control the game. Ah yes, since its main colors are white and red, Xiao Pang calls it the Red-and-White Machine." Sun Wu clapped his hands together, remembering the name of the console.

  "Red and White Machine?" Lin Hong's face showed a look of disappointment, he had originally thought it was a computer.

  He is now always thinking about computers in his mind, and the composition and shape of computers have been imagined countless times in his mind.

  "Yes, that's a Japanese-made home video game console that can be connected directly to the TV, and it's not very big either. I've been thinking of getting one to play with too... but the price is a bit expensive. But Xiao Pang said that similar consoles have also appeared domestically, and they're much cheaper." Sun Wu's eyes showed a look of longing, as if he had already seen such a console placed in his own home.

  "Has anyone gone to his little brother-in-law's room?" Lin Hong asked with a bit of lingering doubt.

  "Is he his little uncle?" Sun Wu shook his head, "His little uncle doesn't live with them, seems to be renting elsewhere. I haven't seen him in the past two days."

  After finishing, Sun Wu began to tell Lin Hong in detail about the games he played on the Red and White Machine. Lin Hong no longer thought about computer things and listened carefully to Sun Wu's description. He also had a vague impression that the Red and White Machine was probably a simplified version of the arcade machine, replacing the display with a TV, and integrating the motherboard and other components into a small box. The joystick was replaced by a handle.

  Listening to Sun Wu's explanation, Lin Hong sincerely admired the people who invented game consoles and games. They could create such magical things through circuits, which seemed to not exist in nature, but were created out of thin air.

  It seems this is also a special type of computer, Lin Hong thought to himself.

  His longing for computers became more urgent in his heart.
