Chapter 133: Chapter 117: Meet the Human Radio

Learning.

For many people, it is a troubling affair.

It’s very common to encounter difficulties during the learning process, which may stem from various factors, including the complexity of the knowledge, learning methods, psychological state, and environmental influences.

Everyone knows that progress is necessary.

But not everyone can accept the suffering that comes with learning for the sake of progress.

The fundamental pain of learning lies in the poor ratio of input to output.

When learning new knowledge or skills, it often requires us to understand and master complex concepts, theories, formulas, languages, etc. These contents may exceed our current cognitive scope and require a great deal of energy to think, ponder, and practice repeatedly.

In the end, we might not gain much.

Even Bai Shi, who prides himself as a genius and has mastered many technologies including information, cultural relic restoration, art forgery, carving, painting, lock-picking, and multilingualism, sometimes feels the agony of learning.

But now, in the process of teaching Chen Yun.

Bai Shi’s worldview started to crumble.

Chen Yun, who didn’t seem to perform much in front of him, displayed his strong learning ability.

This made Bai Shi once mistakenly believe he was actually very good at teaching others.

Yet, Bai Shi soon realized.

It was Chen Yun’s learning ability that was strong, not his teaching ability.

Every word Bai Shi said was remembered without fail.

Every knowledge point that Bai Shi explained was understood without needing a second explanation.

Chen Yun was able to extrapolate similar principles on his own without Bai Shi having to say much more.

Such a student could definitely become the ace of any teacher, a star that a teacher could remember throughout their teaching career.

They continued teaching until around five or six in the afternoon.

Bai Shi felt that his rich understanding and knowledge reserve related to signal modulation and demodulation had been completely drained by the man in front of him, eager for knowledge.

Really, not a drop was left.

He even additionally taught quite a bit about his understanding of baseband signals.

The speed of this knowledge absorption was incredibly fast, never needing anything to be repeated.

To the point where Bai Shi felt that he was not a teacher, but a robot that just needed to hold a book and teach from it directly without stopping.

The initial idea of using little devices to make learning fun also fell through because it was completely unnecessary.

There wasn’t a single concept that Chen Yun didn’t understand which needed additional tutoring.

The only role Bai Shi could play was relying on his familiarity with and understanding of these knowledge points, to systematically and scientifically allocate various types of knowledge to Chen Yun to study, rather than a disorganized, aimless learning process.

During this focused afternoon study session.

In addition to learning about the modulation and demodulation of signals, Chen Yun also learned many of the common transformation rules of images, sound, and text information into baseband signals.

After all, the radio waves he demodulated only turned into baseband signals, not directly into images, sound, or text.

He still had to learn about the representation of sound wave vibrations, the sequence of bits in data signals, and the changes in pixel values in image signals within the baseband signal.

Only then could he directly interpret the images, sound, and text information contained in the many radio waves passing through the Transparent World Perception.

Around five-thirty in the afternoon.

Seeing that Bai Shi was struggling to keep up, Chen Yun simply decided to stop studying for the time being.

Watching Bai Shi teach him until he was almost in a trance.

Chen Yun, with a hint of apology, patted Bai Shi’s shoulder and said, "Old man, I’ll cook something delicious for you myself."

Saying this, Chen Yun hooked Bai Shi’s shoulder and walked towards his own house.

He let Bai Shi sit on the sofa and play with King.

While he rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen.

These days his snake-cooking skills had improved considerably; it happened to match with some medicinal herbs he had bought when purchasing the snake in the morning, to make a nourishing snake soup for Bai Shi.

························

After finishing the snake soup and playing for a while, Bai Shi left for home about two hours ago.

Subsequently, Chen Yun, according to his short-term plan, prepared the snake soup for the next morning and then read a novel for a while.

Around nine o’clock at night.

Chen Yun began his daily training of Transparent World 3.5.

His Transparent World 3.5 involved many non-human abilities, so his training included visual, auditory, olfactory, and spiritual powers.

Among these, the training of spiritual power mainly involved perceiving biological emotions, telekinesis, and electromagnetic wave perception.

After completing most of the specialized training, Chen Yun paused as he was about to train in electromagnetic wave perception.

Feeling the countless chaotic electromagnetic waves swirling around him.

Chen Yun tried to combine the series of knowledge he learned that afternoon: the modulation and demodulation of signals, and the information carried in the baseband signals.

Although he hadn’t completely mastered these two aspects yet, after an afternoon of learning, he had already become quite proficient.

In a trance.

The electromagnetic wave signals, with their regular amplitude, frequency, and phase, had taken on meaning in his eyes.

However, he could not understand all of them.

There were too many rules for signal modulation, making it hard to accurately match every ownerless electromagnetic wave signal with the correct modulation method.

Not to mention the more challenging demodulation processes that involved more complex mathematical operations and signal processing techniques, such as carrier synchronization, symbol timing recovery, equalization, channel estimation, and soft decision decoding.

Modern demodulation methods would involve advanced mathematical operations, complex filtering algorithms (like Kalman filtering and adaptive filtering), channel estimation, constellation diagram decoding, and error-correction coding. These algorithms often required iterative calculations, matrix operations, probability theory, and mathematical statistics.

Moreover, Chen Yun’s current electromagnetic wave perception ability had not yet developed a clear understanding of characteristics like amplitude, frequency, and phase.

More profound training was still needed.

Therefore, currently, there was only an insignificant portion of simple electromagnetic waves that he could potentially decrypt in his eyes.

Pondering.

Chen Yun used the knowledge he had learned and began trying to demodulate these modulated signals into baseband signals.

This was difficult.

Using the brain as a central processor, signal demodulation was not a small feat.

Even the most basic AM (Amplitude Modulation) or FM (Frequency Modulation) signals, whose demodulation process was relatively straightforward, were not that simple.

It took him more than twenty minutes.

Chen Yun had only decrypted one signal into a baseband signal and then, following the common rules carried by baseband signals, tried to decrypt it into images, text, and sound.

It then took another several minutes.

After decrypting this signal, a familiar voice echoed in his ears,

"This is FM101.7 from Shu, reminding you: Roads are many, safety comes first!"

"Next up, we’ll play Zhou Binglun’s classic song ’Rice Fragrance’."

"In this world, if you have too many complaints. You fall down and dare not continue forward. Why? Why must people be so fragile and degenerate..."

After processing through the brain, a certain electromagnetic wave became familiar music echoing in his ears.

Due to his unskilled decryption, it also sounded somewhat choppy or quite choppy, actually.

This feeling.

It was indeed unprecedented.

After decrypting the electromagnetic waves, clear imagined sounds played in his mind.

However, in reality, no one around him was playing the song "Rice Fragrance."

This peculiar sensation gave Chen Yun an unusually novel and interesting feeling.

If you say how this differed from imagining "Rice Fragrance" directly in your mind.

Actually, there was a difference.

The electromagnetic wave signal genuinely carried this song, creating a sound in his mind after decryption that was clearer than mere imagination.

So clear that the auditory function of Transparent World, striving to its fullest, was searching everywhere for the source of the sound, yet the incredibly powerful auditory ability at this moment just couldn’t reconcile with the brain.

Brain: I really heard it.

Hearing: ??

After thinking for a while, Chen Yun smiled, came back to his senses, and began to seriously consider the origin of this transformed electromagnetic wave.

But it didn’t require much thought.

It was obviously a...traffic broadcast?

Right now, it seemed he could only decode such simple electromagnetic waves that a radio could tune into.

This really opened the door to a new world.

However, it seemed...

He had become a humanoid radio?

This made Chen Yun smile wryly.

It wasn’t too bad; once he got the hang of decoding, these traffic broadcast electromagnetic waves could be instantly decoded into the information they carried.

He would truly become a radio then,

And by that time...

At least he could listen to songs and news anytime, anywhere.

It was just unfortunate that after Chen Yun sensed the electromagnetic waves,

He had to analyze operations such as amplitude, frequency, phase, perform signal demodulation, and convert baseband signals into imagined images, text, and sound.

All three steps required time.

This made Chen Yun’s music listening through surrounding electromagnetic waves extremely choppy.

To achieve sufficient smoothness.

He still needed prolonged training, allowing various different electromagnetic wave signal demodulations and baseband signal translations to become instinctual tasks, ideally delivering results in one second or even less.

Besides this.

He still needed more learning and training to let other more diverse electromagnetic waves become forms he could understand and decrypt, rather than being confined to the radio wave signals that radios could receive.
