Li Qiao sat down to examine the circuit, checking various components, none of which showed any external damage. She suspected the issue was with the circuitry itself.
She untied the straps around the wires and felt along them until she discovered a small bulge in one of them. It was hard to spot unless you looked closely. Using a knife, she sliced open the protective rubber tube around the wires and found that one of the thin wires inside had snapped.
"It's still gotta be you, huh? The two of us combined didn't even think to check here," one of them said.
Li Qiao's eyes curved into a smile, "I just happened to stumble upon it." After reconnecting the wire, the three of them discussed how to put the parts back in place.
Once they installed the batteries and fiddled with the tuning, the radio started making noise.
Everyone started to get excited.
These days, people had less to do, and life was dull and boring.
They were really looking to the radio for some entertainment.
