Zhai Feihong, the deputy leader of the Red Lotus Sect and the chief disciple, stood on a mountain top, looking from a distance and directing the war ahead. On the battle map beside him, you can see the measurements of 'kilometers' and 'hours'
The standards of units and Dayang Group have penetrated into all aspects.
And just fifty kilometers ahead, a decisive battle has been going on for two days. And the battle line stretches for three thousand kilometers!
Zhai Feihong put down his binoculars and focused on the 65 telegraph machines in front of him. He felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
Not only are the telegraph machines expensive, the total value of the 65 telegraph machines is 6.5 million; plus various supporting equipment, fuel cells, consumables and spare parts, etc., the total value is more than 7 million high-grade spiritual stones! This is a high-grade spiritual stone.
Moreover, telegraph machines must at least be used in pairs, which doubles the expense.
But the most important thing is the impact of the telegraph on information and intelligence, especially on war.
In the past, the battle line stretched for more than 3,000 kilometers, and the information delay was very severe. Even if the Red Lotus Sect has powerful communication methods, traditional communication methods are more expensive.
In the past, communications usually conveyed messages about flying swords, mother-in-law jade magic weapons, or even a trace of the soul in the transformation stage.
The Messaging Flying Sword has a relatively short distance, cannot exceed 300 kilometers, is easy to be stopped, has a long flight time, and is a disposable consumable. Long-distance messaging requires constant relays, which is cumbersome and unsafe.
The Zimu Jade is pretty good, and the distance can be up to several kilometers; however, the Zimu Jade can only communicate one-way, and the Zimu Jade is rare and expensive, making it difficult to use on a large scale. The Red Lotus Sect dug into the warehouse and found three pieces of Zimu Jade.
Jade is simply not enough.
Then there is a trace of the soul in the Divine Transformation Stage, which is also one-time and has an impact on the Divine Transformation Stage. The value of a Divine Transformation Stage cannot be measured by wealth, even if the Divine Transformation Stage has developed explosively now.
But the current development of the God Transformation Stage benefits from the accumulation in the past; with the late Nascent Soul, the peak masters have become the God Transformation Stage, and now there is a gap in cultivation. It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, the level of the God Transformation Stage will be
The increase will be very slow.
In short, all the means of communication in the past combined and tied together are not as good as the telegraph machine.
With the telegraph, you can get in touch with people far away; according to current tests, the transmission speed of the telegraph is almost instantaneous. The only thing that delays time is the communication speed of the telegraph operators on both sides, including the speed of translation and handwriting.
Moreover, the telegraph distance is far away. According to current extreme tests, Ocean Group has actually achieved direct communication straight line distance between the east and west ends of the Fertile Continent, which is about 23,000 kilometers!
Telegraph technology is powerful, but its impact on the world is also immeasurable. Especially on war.
In the past, communication delays of one or two days between the frontline and rear commanders were normal. Often when reinforcements arrived, the leading troops had disappeared, and as a result, the reinforcements were trapped again. Generally, good generals will leave enough room for error.
But with the advent of the telegraph, news was instantaneous. And it became possible to command the army remotely! This put forward new requirements for military commanders, and wars became more and more extreme.
At present, 65 telegraph machines are ticking. Zhai Feihong maintains contact with the frontline troops and even the headquarters of the Red Lotus through the telegraph machines. There are even ten telegraph machines specially responsible for contacting frontline scouts, spies, etc.
Handwritten telegrams were posted on the wall, and then converted into military maps, sand tables, etc.
Suddenly, a piece of information marked with a red arrow was delivered to Zhai Feihong. When Zhai Feihong picked it up and looked at it, his scalp went numb:
Mingjiao intervened!
Previously, due to the pressure from Dayang Group and many holy places, the Mingjiao had to announce that it would cancel its contact with the Holy Fire Sect. But the Mingjiao did not stop there!
The Ming Cult "indirectly" intervened. The Holy Fire Cult exchanged land for a large amount of military equipment, spiritual stones, elixirs, magic weapons, and even chariots from the Ming Cult.
Especially for chariots, Mingjiao absorbed the technology of Dayang Group, cooperated with Xiaoyao Sect and others, and added its own accumulation, such as weapon refining methods, to develop its own chariot technology.
These chariots can launch...spells!
Yes, it is not firing cannonballs, but spells. Currently, spells of the three element types of water, fire, and earth can be fired, with a range of up to 20 kilometers, and the power is very impressive.
Mingjiao calls this kind of chariot "Chariot of Light".
Currently, at the easternmost end of the battle line, close to the Ming Jiao, some tanks have arrived, causing a great impact on the Red Lotus Sect.
Zhai Feihong picked up the telegram and read it carefully:
At 10:12 a.m., the Holy Fire Cult launched a general attack with the Chariot of Light as the vanguard. The Chariot of Light first fired hundreds of magic shells. These shells exploded above the Red Lotus Legion, blooming into flowers with a radius of three
More than ten meters of flames fell down and detonated a large amount of ammunition, eventually causing the ammunition depot to explode.
More than 12,000 people in the vanguard of the First Army of the East were wiped out. Less than 3,000 people escaped.
When Zhai Feihong saw this report, he punched the table angrily and shouted: "Tell me the idiots of the First Army: Our artillery has a range of up to 40 kilometers, and some of the artillery purchased from Dayang Group have a range of up to 40 kilometers.
80 kilometers. How did they let this chariot of light get closer to 20 kilometers!"
But after yelling for a while, Zhai Feihong regained his sense: a long range does not mean a high hit rate. So far, the main battle distance on the battlefield is still within ten kilometers, and sometimes it can even reach three kilometers, or even close combat.
After thinking for a while, Zhai Feihong issued a new order: After finally winning, the Holy Fire Cult will definitely pursue it, so let the First Army of the East continue to 'rout', lure the enemy deeper and hold them back; then let the Second Army of the East
I went to take the back route of the Eastern Legion of the Holy Fire Cult, and then closed the door and beat the dog.
After that, Zhai Feihong conveyed the information about the Bright Chariot, including its appearance, etc., to each legion, asking everyone to pay attention; if necessary, they should focus on attacking.
Zhang Hao quickly received information about the war situation between the Holy Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect. Dayang Group could easily intercept telegrams. The result of selling telegraph machines everywhere was: Dayang Group quietly controlled the news! Electromagnetic waves are divergent, and Dayang Group
It is enough for the group to set up a few more antennas.
At present, the codes of each telegraph are all binary, because there are only two buttons on the telegraph machine! If you want to use other bases, you can't do it! Or you can use quaternary, but that is complicated, and others still have
There is no such ability to change. What's more, the binary is bound to Pinyin, making it even more difficult to change.
The only way that others can use is that the message itself is encrypted. But in order to make it easier for my family to understand, and because encryption technology has just begun, Dayang Group should not crack it too easily.
Therefore, now the Ocean Group does not even need to send spies to the front line. It is enough to understand the situation on the front line simply by intercepting communications. The Ocean Group does not know everything about the exchanges between the two sides of the war and even the various holy places behind it, but at least it has control over seven or eight
become!
It is true that the sale of telegraph machines by Dayang Group is entirely for the benefit of mankind!
Now, seeing this so-called 'chariot of light', Zhang Hao shook his head and threw the news aside.
As early as the first time Zhang Hao went to the battlefield, he saw this kind of war weapon that could launch spells. However, the war weapon at that time was relatively simple and not very powerful. Later, Dayang Group also did research, but soon
give up.
To put it simply, this thing is: flashy! It looks good, but its shortcomings are obvious.
Each spell's 'cannonball' is a talisman. The cost is a bit high, and it's scary. It can't be completely produced by machine. It needs to be manually perfected by the craftsman in the later stage.
Moreover, the technology of launching spells is complex, and you need to manually activate the 'Fu Bao Cannonball' before launching. The military technology is complex, which means reduced reliability, difficult maintenance, high usage requirements, high logistics pressure, etc., so Zhang Hao simply killed it.
Lost this piece of research.
However, since the Mingjiao dares to secretly intervene and even take the opportunity to occupy a large amount of the land of the Holy Fire Sect, the Dayang Group cannot stand still. Especially since the Mingjiao seems to want to get involved in the land of Jiangxia Kingdom, the Dayang Group cannot stand still.
In the past three years, in order to gain the support of the Dayang Group, the Red Lotus Sect has successively promised the Jiangxia Kingdom and the Xihe Kingdom, southwest of the Jiangxia Kingdom and also close to the Green Sea of Death, to the Dayang Group. The combined area of these two countries is approximately the past
About two and a half of the Qixia Country is enough to serve as the foundation for the future of Dayang Group.
Therefore, Mingjiao's actions are tantamount to directly touching the bottom line of Dayang Group and Zhang Hao. We have been planning for so long, how can we let you destroy it casually!
In the afternoon of that day, the Ocean Group Atlantic Fleet set off from Heilin Island and headed straight to Jiangxia Kingdom in the south of Heilin Island.
At the seaside of Jiangxia Kingdom, a legion of the Red Lotus Sect has arrived. In order to pursue speed, they did not carry much luggage, arms, etc., and flew over almost empty-handed. The arms, etc., were ordered directly from Dayang Group!
The chemical war in the new era has been ruined by Dayang Group! But Dayang Group euphemistically calls it: the speed of industry and the power of capital!
In the evening, the fleet arrived, a large amount of arms was delivered to the seaside of Jiangxia Kingdom, and the two sides handed over smoothly.
The supplies transported this time are almost enough for a month's normal consumption of a million-strong army! It is completely possible to open a second battlefield behind the Holy Fire Cult.
At this time, most of the Holy Fire Cult’s military forces had been transferred to the south. They were not worried about Dayang Group sending troops at all. But the Holy Fire Cult did not expect that Dayang Group could do this:
The Red Lotus Sect sent troops, and we sent arms; no, we sold arms. The Red Lotus Sect signed a purchase contract worth 30 million high-grade spiritual stones.
Late that evening, before the Holy Fire Sect could react, the Red Lotus Sect's army had already advanced for more than 200 kilometers and completely established a firm foothold. The second battlefield was successfully opened, and the Holy Fire Sect entered a countdown to death.
…………
The war in the south has certainly attracted great attention. It is the second large-scale war after the war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect. It is also the war in which the Dayang Group attacked the Xuanming Sect before the industrialized war. The situation on the battlefield is nothing more than
It started at the beginning but ended at the end. After giving the Xuan Ming Sect a beating, he was subdued.
However, compared to the war in the south, there is one thing that has a greater impact, and that is: Fairy Mountain. To be precise, Fairy Mountain 'suspected to have discovered' a doorway to the inner layer, and this is expected to find the secrets after the Transformation Stage.
!Although the details still need to be investigated, it does not hinder everyone's excitement.
The war in the south is an external matter, just watch the fun; but the exploration of the Fairy Mountain is related to your own future. It is clear at a glance which one is more important!
For a time, more people wanted to go out to sea to explore. But now it is not easy to go out to sea to explore the fairy mountains.
Different from Liuli Island, the current Xuanwu Mountain is completely controlled by the "Xianshan Exploration Group". The current Xianshan Exploration Group has more than 1,300 traditional divine transformation periods; the recent emergence of new Jin masters (Jindan Avenue's
Transformation stage), as many as five thousand!
Thanks to so many powerful masters, although Zhulongzhizhou was not willing to give in, they also recognized the reality.
However, for experts in the world of Kuodixiang, it is also very difficult to enter Fairy Mountain. Because today's Fairy Mountain Exploration Group has begun to become closed, making it difficult for latecomers to enter. Unless they are willing to accept harsh conditions. For example, this time, the group
It is necessary to recruit more than a hundred "death squads" to serve as forwards.
The war and the Fairy Mountain caused an uproar throughout the fertile continent of the West.
However, the Dayang Group, which was at the center of the storm, was unwilling to be dull. On April 3, the seventh year of Tianyuan, the Dayang Group held a 'God Transformation Technology Research Base Meeting', at which the issue of Xuanming Sect was discussed.
Three years ago, the Xuanming Sect was excluded from the 'God Transformation Technology Research Base'. In these years, the Xuanming Sect could only spend a high price to make breakthroughs in the practice base, but was unable to participate in research.
Three years ago, the "Beihai Treaty" stipulated that the qualifications of the Xuanming Sect would not be discussed again after three years.
So we will discuss this today to see if the Xuanming Sect will be qualified to enter the God Transformation Technology Research Base in three years.
Those who participated in the vote included the signatories of the North Sea Treaty, including representatives who have made outstanding contributions to technological research in recent years. Such as the Kingdom of Qixia, the Kingdom of Shaoze, the Kingdom of Canglan, etc. There are also Xuanzhen Sect, Xiaoyao
The four holy places of the sect, the Immortal Yin Sect, and West Kunlun.
There was not much nonsense. After the meeting started, Zhang Hao briefly talked about the Xuanming Sect's 'efforts' and development over the years. Finally, Zhang Hao initiated a vote. This vote was by show of hands.
There are not many representatives, so they come one by one, and everyone needs to give a reason whether they agree or disagree. Unless they abstain. Of course, under normal circumstances, abstention is a good excuse for ridicule.
The atmosphere became tense, and the representatives voted one by one. Some were in favor, and of course some were against. The future of the Xuanming Sect is determined by this meeting.
The Red Lotus Sect and others agreed. Everyone saw the fangs of the Ming Sect and hoped that the Xuan Ming Sect could check and balance the Ming Sect. Of course, the reasons on the surface cannot be said like this. Everyone gave some high-sounding reasons;
The Mingjiao itself is naturally opposed; the reason is: Xuanmingjiao has not strictly implemented the "Beihai Treaty" recently, which has damaged many interests of the Mingjiao. This is nitpicking.
However, some business representatives of the Ming Cult bullied people too much, which led to the accumulation of opposition among the Xuan Ming Cult people, which caused many conflicts. Originally, the "Beihai Treaty" caused humiliation to the Xuan Ming Cult, and the Ming Cult came to step on it.
Conflict is too normal. But it must also be said that it does not comply with the North Sea Treaty.
Furthermore, from each country, there are those who agree and those who oppose, and everyone’s reasons are high-sounding. Of course, there are also those who abstain from voting, because the Xuanming Sect’s affairs are a bit tricky, and some representatives can only be on the sidelines once.
The voting was carried out little by little, but the situation was a bit strange: the votes for and against were almost evenly matched!
Bai Feiying, the representative of Xuanming Sect, became nervous again and his face turned pale.
Finally, it was the turn of the four holy places of Xuanzhen Religion, and the big bosses finally appeared.
Bai Feiying grabbed the armrest of the chair with both hands, his fingers digging into the wood.
Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect voted in favor, while Xianyin Sect and Xikunlun voted against. At this point, except for the Dayang Group, which did not express its position, all the votes were over, and the yes vote was only one more than the no vote.
Dayang Group’s decision is crucial!
The atmosphere froze. Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Hao!
Unknowingly, the fate of Xuanming Sect fell into Zhang Hao's hands again!
According to the rules of the conference: if there is an equal number of votes for and against, and there are many abstentions, the Xuanming Sect will lose the qualification to join the God Transformation Technology Research Base.
Unless there are more votes for it, even just one vote.
