The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 184
Episode 184: Please. (2)
Quang!
“There is no way that we have the ability to restore communication…!”
“…Calm down.”
I got up and started banging on the table in excitement.
Minjae looked up at me calmly and said.
“Even if I tell you to calm down…!”
“You know. To completely restore communication. “That is not an easy task.”
“that.”
…That’s right.
different regions.
No, to be exact.
I thought I might be able to find out what happened to my family.
I think I was a little too excited.
“Whoa.”
It’s useless to get excited.
I sighed and sat back down.
“but. “If that were possible, I would have told you about it a long time ago.”
“Unfortunately, it still seems difficult to obtain information from other regions. but.”
…but?
“We found out why communication became impossible.”
“…what?”
In those words.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at Minjae.
“Have you found out about the entity blocking communication?”
I’ve never told anyone.
An entity that eliminated humanity’s communication network.
I was guessing that it was the same evil entity that tried to annihilate the military units.
An entity that attempted to suppress humanity’s power.
A guy like that would have been able to block communication as well.
however.
“no. “I know what the guess is, but unfortunately it is the wrong answer.”
“Wrong answer?”
According to Minjae hyung.
That doesn’t seem to be the case again.
“To be honest, I had similar thoughts as you until recently.”
“Not now?”
“The malicious intent you are guessing… is probably due to not being very detailed about communications and Earth’s technology.”
A strong enemy placed in a place where strong forces gather.
but.
There is no guarantee that the enemy will have detailed information on humanity.
“There was another reason why communication became impossible.”
“What other reason?”
I tilted my head in confusion.
I thought he was silently raising his hand in the air.
Minjae moves his gaze towards that place.
He said, looking at something.
“It’s magical power.”
“…horsepower?”
In the eyes of Sergeant Lee Min-jae, looking into space.
Something invisible to me…
was clearly visible.
“You said it? Originally, there was no magical power on Earth.”
“It did.”
Therefore, humans have little resistance to magical power.
Eating monster meat and becoming a monster.
This is a phenomenon that occurs when exposed to magical power.
“But after monsters began to appear, magic began to appear in this world. And although it is a very small amount.”
“…?”
“Even in this atmosphere… there is definitely magic.”
Wow.
That hand.
I grabbed hold of something invisible.
“Those magic powers are twisting the radio waves.”
“…!”
“Now I can see the flow of radio waves. Youngjun. “Even the magic power that penetrates in between and destroys the form of radio waves.”
What does Minjae want to say?
Only then did I understand clearly.
‘The magical power that first appeared in this world on the Day of Destruction.’
That’s radio waves for communication, etc.
It affects the flow of invisible energies.
“That’s why all kinds of communication has been cut off.”
That’s right.
There is more information about magic that is revealed than is not.
It wouldn’t be surprising if such a phenomenon could occur, but…
“No, but. Why is there such a thing as a wired network?…”
“Even if it’s a thin line, it’s the same. “At the point when magic is involved, communication is not being transmitted in the correct form.”
“What about electronic devices? “As long as electricity was supplied, it worked.”
“Electricity, which is simply energy, and communication, which must contain content, are different.”
Minjae took out the smartphone he had charged last time.
He said as he turned it on.
“like this. “If the distance is short, there is no problem with communication between radio waves.”
A smartphone also outputs a screen as various information is exchanged within the device.
If that’s the case, there’s no problem.
Minjae turned on the calling app.
I called someone.
Of course the result.
[Communication is not possible….]
“The farther the distance, the closer to 100% chance the radio waves will collapse.”
“…was it something like that?”
After actually listening to it.
It was a very simple reason.
It was said that magic was the cause.
okay.
It’s a terribly simple reason, though.
“The fact remains that there is no solution.”
In the end, if Minjae says what he said.
In order to restore communication, the magic of the entire world must disappear.
Either that or else.
Even damage to radio waves caused by magical power is taken into consideration.
They say we need to create a new communication system or something.
“…Maybe it was a time when civilization was intact.”
“okay. It won’t be possible right now. Even if it were possible, it would take a huge amount of time.”
Minjae said there was no way to restore communication.
It was completely understandable.
“Oh, of course. “It means it’s impossible to completely revive it.”
“?”
however.
That wasn’t the end of what Minjae wanted to say.
“I think it might be enough to revive it incompletely.”
“…what?”
“No, there is a high probability that it is possible.”
What does this mean again?
It was Minjae himself who just said that the revival of radio waves was impossible.
Let me get confused.
“I told you that my new job is a radio wizard.”
Minjae said with a chuckle.
His job is a radio wizard.
“As I said before, radio waves that spread far away lose their shape due to the influence of magical power. “But my job can interfere with those waves a little bit.”
“That means.”
“I think it would be possible if we took some steps to prevent radio waves from being affected by other magical powers.”
crazy.
“Is something like that possible?”
“Of course it wouldn’t have been possible on my own.”
at that time.
-Kkruk.
A transparent snake emerges from Minjae’s arms and circles around his body.
[Salmoneus eating lightning]
Minjae said while stroking the shapeless snake.
“With this guy, it is possible to perform magic at a detailed level that would have been impossible for me.”
“Indeed…”
“Unless there are other cases like mine, it must be difficult to receive messages from others. But… it is entirely possible for us to send a message.”
Even if communication cannot be completely restored.
It may be possible to send communication unilaterally.
‘for a moment. If that’s true.’
The man standing in front of me.
Sergeant Lee Min-jae is now.
The only one in this world.
‘A person with the ability to send communications to other places.’
Drumsticks are not very smart.
One thing is certain.
What is the value of such a person?
The truth was that it was beyond imagination.
“…oh my god.”
I was astonished by that fact and opened my mouth wide.
Actually, that party.
Sergeant Lee Min-jae doesn’t seem to be particularly impressed by that part.
“So… I’m just talking about what I wanted to ask you to do.”
Only then.
I got to the point.
Come to think of it.
This guy came to ask me for something.
“After I realized that I could use this ability to send communications… I thought about how to use it for a while.”
The worried look he showed not long ago.
I guess it had something to do with that.
“So that conclusion is what you’re asking me to do?”
“okay.”
The look on Minjae’s face when he says that.
There was a bit of tension.
“There is a communication I want to send to the world using this ability.”
“…It’s my brother’s ability, so shouldn’t I just do it? “Do you even need to ask me a favor?”
“There’s a reason for that.”
The words that came out of his mouth right after.
It contained something unbelievable that Minjae said.
“The communication I am about to send could cause great damage to the Legion.”
“…what?”
* * *
After the conversation with Minjae hyung.
I left the restaurant and went to see the unit members waiting nearby.
however.
Unit members having a conversation about something.
“what’s the matter?”
“ah. “Sergeant Shin.”
I looked to see what was going on.
They were talking about some kind of machine.
“that is. “With the electricity restored this time, many machines were brought in.”
“yes?”
“They say this is also a boiler. “I don’t know how to use it.”
“iced coffee.”
These are things I scavenged as much as possible from all over the place.
There are many different types and many old ones.
As of now, there is no such thing as an instruction manual.
It is difficult to know how to use it.
“Well, I’ll probably ask the engineers about this later. So what’s going on?”
“Actually, I was wondering if you would know where there is a facility near here that can transmit communications.”
“yes? Hmm. well.”
In those words.
The assembled unit members thought for a moment and then opened their mouths.
“If that’s the case, then what? “Aren’t you talking about the broadcasting station?”
“A place like KBB or MCC SBB?”
“That place is too grand. “If you’re in a rural area, wouldn’t there be a radio station or something?”
“Well, isn’t Chuncheon a big city in its own way? “There might be at least one such broadcasting station.”
“ah. “It did exist.”
In those words.
One of the unit members who joined from Chuncheon muttered in the past tense.
He took out a map from his pocket.
A soldier pointing to a corner.
“The location is here.”
“…iced coffee.”
The place he pointed to was the center of Chuncheon city.
To be more precise.
When it was dungeonized.
It was the center where all the buildings had disappeared.
“The place where this building was located has now disappeared without a trace.”
“Okay.”
“There’s no way it’s not in the nearby area. “I need to know where it is.”
In the past, there would have been no reason to worry about this.
Now, it has become something that all unit members have to worry about.
“In the past, all you had to do was search for a broadcasting station on the Internet.”
“Iknow, right.”
The same goes for how to use the equipment that the soldiers were complaining about earlier.
Same with this information.
All it takes is an internet search.
But now all types of communication have been blocked.
The problem in today’s world is that it has become very difficult to obtain even the slightest information.
…Pisik.
“huh? “Why are you smiling?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
We live in an era where even the slightest bit of information is valuable.
When I thought about it that way, I couldn’t help but laugh.
‘What I’m about to do now makes no sense.’
It came to mind again.
“Well, if you say it’s not nearby, there’s nothing you can do.”
Should I say that I am fortunate?
I knew where the radio could be transmitted.
“Can you gather some soldiers? Including engineers and medics.”
“Loyalty. “But what are you trying to do?”
“Let’s go home for the first time in a while.”
After the world was destroyed.
There is a story I sometimes hear from survivors I meet.
Ordinary survivors.
Something like how they lived.
Like in the case of Jeongsu-ana and Lee Sang-ah.
There were many cases where I sought to live my life faithfully in my own way.
and.
It is said that before coming into contact with us, he would change the radio channel every day.
I’ll hear it from somewhere.
Waiting for the message of salvation.
“Returning to the ammunition battalion.”
What they were waiting for was the government or.
Radio communication from military bases.
“there. “The transmission equipment was fine, right?”
* * *
The distance between Inje-gun and Chuncheon-si is by no means close.
Especially in this day and age, most roads are destroyed and difficult to use.
Although traveling long distances was not easy.
‘We didn’t secure the railroad for nothing.’
Station and railway under construction.
Even though we who have secured those places are not as good as we were in the past.
I was able to travel between the two cities quite freely.
In particular, food production through farming is actively carried out in Inje-gun.
The food produced in this way was supplied to us through this railway.
As a result of frequent resupply and subjugation of surrounding monsters.
The road to Inje-gun itself was quite clean.
Although it was a problem to have to walk to save on gas.
Even that can be reached quickly if one uses the physical abilities of an awakened person.
“Im here!”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. But…huh?”
like that.
It was the [Ammunition Battalion] of Inje County that returned after a long time… but
the ammunition battalion was starting to appear from afar.
The first thing I saw was a large barrier created by engineers.
and.
“…over there.”
“Is this the ammunition battalion we knew about?”
Climbing up that wall.
They were huge tree trunks.
