After all the properties confiscated from the rebel nobles were moved, Owen stopped staying at Dongsheng Fortress and took a cement steamer back to Border Guard Town.

Before going back, Owen told Kouros that the nobles who were going to work in the city hall must be rigorously trained, and those with insufficient abilities must be eliminated without showing any mercy.

Not all the people's troops who went on the expedition were brought back, but two musketeers were left behind to continue to garrison Dongsheng Fortress.

In addition to daily security patrols, they are also responsible for training the police force and newly recruited soldiers.

In the evening, the whistle blew, and the cement steamer Owen was riding on docked at the edge of the pier.

Since Winnie flew back in advance to inform the city hall of Owen's return, Clive, Gita and other city hall officials had been waiting here for a long time to welcome Owen's return.

Seeing Owen stepping off the ship, everyone congratulated the lord in unison for quelling the rebellion in Dongsheng Fortress and returning in triumph.

Since it was already getting late, Owen made a brief speech in public and then went back to the castle to rest.

The next day, Owen first went to the city hall to ask Clive about the recent situation in the border town and the statistics of the treasures brought back.

After understanding it, he mentioned the matter at Dongsheng Fortress.

"Clive, I will convene an enlarged meeting in the last few days of late winter this year. City hall officials from Dongsheng Fortress and Laifeng Port will also come to participate. The main content is to promulgate new laws. From next year, under my jurisdiction,

This set of laws must be implemented in every territory.”

In other words, Owen will announce the abolition of the Kingdom's laws currently in effect.

What does this mean? Clive knows very well that it means that Owen plans to formally break with the Kingdom of Dawn, and a battle between Bianzhu Town and Junhui City is inevitable.

If this matter had happened in the past, Clive would definitely think that Owen was crazy and wanted to go against the royal family. Didn't he want to live?

Then he turned around and prepared to run away. He didn't want to die with a madman.

Now, Border Guard Town has such a strong military strength. Whatever grand ambitions Owen wants to display, Clive thinks it is not a bad idea. How can a capable person be willing to shrink in this small Border Guard Town?

If it succeeds, Clive will definitely become an important minister around the new king. What a wonderful thing this is!

For this reason, he was willing to take a gamble and bet his future on the young and promising lord in front of him.

"I will complete the compilation of the new law soon. I will print a copy and send it to you. You must read it several times before the meeting begins. I plan to let you read the above provisions of the law to everyone." Owen

Said again.

"Yes." Clive quickly touched his chest and saluted, "I will live up to my expectations."

After explaining a few more things, Owen left the city hall and headed to the northern city wall to learn about the recent battle situation.

From Bray's mouth, he learned that while he was away from Border Guard Town, undead monsters from the north launched two waves of offensives.

After a fierce battle between the People's Army and the Templars, both waves of undead monsters were wiped out.

It is worth mentioning that the Templars also used bolt-action rifles to defend themselves against enemies in defensive battles.

Unless undead monsters get on the city wall by chance, they will draw their swords and fight.

This was Owen's promise to the Holy Theocracy of Caleb, to allow the Templars who came to support to participate in musket training, and to confirm that they were proficient in operating muskets before allowing them to be used on the battlefield.

It can also be regarded as an exchange project for both parties to strengthen cooperation.

The next day, Rob came to the castle in high spirits and told Owen the good news - the vacuum tube, or electron tube, had been successfully built.

That's great. With this important electrical signal amplifier, you can try to make wireless phones.

Thanks to the technical knowledge provided by Winster, Owen was able to skip wired communications and directly develop wireless communications technology.

To be honest, Bianzhu Town has the technical strength to manufacture qualified light bulbs. In theory, it can also manufacture electronic tubes. The technologies required for the two are interlinked.

So, after installing the lighting system in the factory, Owen asked Rob to try making electronic tubes.

Of course, the electronic tubes manufactured with the current technological level are relatively large in size, but it is not a problem and can be used.

Owen hurriedly rummaged through the drawer for the copied design drawings, then ran to Gita and told him to manufacture the required parts as soon as possible.

Then, Owen hurried to the chemistry laboratory to prepare an important material with Newk - potassium sodium tartrate, also known as Roche's salt.

This thing can use the piezoelectric effect to make crystal speakers and microphones. The principle is that piezoelectric materials can produce electric fields due to mechanical deformation, and can also produce mechanical deformations due to the action of electric fields.

To put it simply, the vibration of sound can be converted into an electrical signal by Roche salt.

On the contrary, after receiving an electrical signal, Roche Salt can also convert it into corresponding sound vibration.

Tartar, one of the important raw materials for preparing Roche's salt, is actually a crystal in wine. It usually adheres to the bottom of the bottle, the shoulder of the bottle, or appears on the bottom of the cork, as well as on the inner wall of the wine barrel.

However, there was no place to make wine in Bianzhu Town, so Irving sent someone to buy it from an outside winery.

The main buyers of wine are aristocrats. Because the aristocrats generally believe that the presence of tartar affects the appearance of the wine, wineries will filter it multiple times before bottling it for sale.

The filtered tartar is usually thrown away directly as garbage.

Suddenly someone came over and specifically wanted to buy this thing. Although the winery owner felt strange, he thought that this thing was of no use anyway, so he agreed to sell it at a low price as he might as well make more money.

After a series of chemical experiments, Roche's salt was finally prepared, and then went through complex cutting and polishing into the required shape.

After a few days of hard work, two first-generation wireless phones were finally produced.

Since they were first-generation products, these two wireless phones were large and heavy, and the power source they used was primary batteries containing lightning magic stones.

On the day of the test, Owen summoned the senior officials of the city hall to the castle courtyard to demonstrate to them the long-distance communication capabilities of the wireless phone.

A group of people gathered around to observe what the lord had been busy building for several days, with confused expressions on their faces.

"What exactly are these two machines used for?"

Angelica asked curiously and turned to look at Teresa, hoping to get an answer from her.

Unfortunately, Teresa was also confused this time.

"Sorry, I don't know either."
