The hesitation and rejection on Huang Jitian's face were so obvious that even a blind person could see it.
But Li Chen really looked like he was blind. He had no expression at all, such as: since he is in trouble, let it go, but he should not force others to make things difficult for him.
He just stood upright and waited for Huang Jitian to respond.
Realizing that Li Chen was not easy to dismiss, Huang Jitian gave a wry smile and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Qin, actually this is not a great secret."
"Since it's not a great secret, then please share it with me, Brother Thirteen." Li Chen said with a smile.
The smile on Huang Jitian's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Li Chen with a very complicated look, and then said: "Actually, we don't use human power to deliver the news."
Li Chen nodded, not surprised.
No matter how strong the human power is, it has its limits.
The message could be transmitted over such a long distance within one day, which was an astonishing speed in this era.
Unless the Kingdom of Jin is so extravagant that it can have a large number of land gods, at least masters like the Three Treasures, to do this job, it won't be enough if there are just a few people, otherwise a few of them will die from exhaustion.
Huang Jitian continued: "We divide the intelligence into several levels according to the importance of the intelligence route. The most important of them is naturally the route from the front line to the central organization during wartime, and the route from the capital of the Qin Empire to our capital of the Jin Kingdom in peacetime.
, and the two lines from Langting in Liao Kingdom to our capital in Jin Kingdom."
"On these two lines, we will set up a transfer station every one hundred miles. In the transfer station, there may be our specially trained high-speed falcons, or the most outstanding masters of Qinggong. Using the transfer station as a node, every one hundred miles
The relay of intelligence will be carried out here, and the intelligence will be transmitted forward at full speed."
"For example, for the first one hundred miles from the capital, we use human power to pass it. Qinggong must reach a certain level and you can complete the one hundred miles within the time limit before you can do this job. When it comes to the next transfer
Station, the falcon will carry the information and fly to the next transfer station below."
"In this way, the power of manpower and livestock alternate with each other, which can ensure the highest timeliness and safety."
Huang Jitian became more and more natural as he spoke, completely unaware that the expressions on the faces of the two followers behind him were about to turn into pig liver.
Li Chen suddenly realized what he said.
It turns out that it is not some extraordinary black technology, it is nothing more than an information transmission route built with huge manpower and material resources.
Without asking, Li Chen knew that the cost of maintaining such a channel would be huge, at least it was something he was unwilling to bear now.
It's not that the money can't be obtained, it's mainly that people are hard to find, and it requires excellent light skills and absolute loyalty, both of which are indispensable. And these resources, at least for now, will not get much in return if Li Chen uses them elsewhere.
bigger.
Sure enough, Huang Jitian followed up and said: "But there are many disadvantages. First of all, it costs a lot of money. Even if it is not used normally, it requires a huge expense to maintain. Once it is used, whether it is a falcon or a person, there will be losses.
, due to the extremely high timeliness requirements, almost every time this channel is used, it will cause the death of people and falcons."
"So if it is not particularly important information, we will not use this channel, but will use conventional means to transmit the information."
Li Chen nodded clearly. On the one hand, he completely gave up the idea of copying the Jin Kingdom's intelligence transmission channel. On the other hand, he nodded in agreement and said: "It does not sound like a good deal. It's okay not to keep such a secret."
