Chapter 459 Xianyang Artillery

As he said, Li Zhao quickly searched the store. Sure enough, the store was versatile and had everything he could think of. He quickly found a telegraph machine and equipment for building a transfer station, which he immediately bought.

Then, some talented students were recruited from the school to learn decoding. Decoding was mentioned in the instructions of the telegraph machine, and the students could learn from it without his intervention.

This is only the first step in telegraph communication. The second step is to have someone secretly install a relay base station. The base station cannot be too exposed, nor can it be installed too low, so it requires people who are familiar with the Guanzhong area.

Apart from the people from the trading firm, I am afraid that the only two young masters who are familiar with the Guanzhong area are the two young masters.

The Guanzhong area is an old place of the Qin State, and those who win over Qin will never be unfamiliar with it.

The people in the trading company have traveled all over the country and are naturally familiar with the Guanzhong area. However, almost all the people in the trading company have been fired during this period, and the remaining people have many things to do. I am afraid that few can be spared.

The most suitable candidates are young masters and generals. They have also said that they are willing to work hard, so it seems that they need to be allowed to move around.

Of course, it would also be beneficial for them to be familiar with the transmission of information by telegraph, which would also be beneficial to the search for Yin Man.

Historically, these two people were not evil people, and they should be trustworthy. Li Zhao was relieved to hand over the telegram to them.

So, the orderer called the two princes.

"Two eldest brothers, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Li Zhao was not long-winded and got straight to the point.

The two princes were naturally very happy and responded: "Please give me your orders, and I will live up to your trust."

Li Zhao smiled and took the two of them to a secret place, where the telegraph equipment was stored.

Looking at the strange things, the two looked at each other, wondering what Li Zhao was doing.

Li Zhao didn't want to sell it off. He pointed to the telegraph machine and said, "This is a telegraph machine. It can transmit and receive messages within a thousand miles."

"Telegraph?"

The two of them were very unfamiliar with this, but they understood that messages could be sent and received within a thousand miles.

"Are you saying that this thing can replace the eight-hundred-mile speed horse and deliver messages directly?"

Young Master Gao seemed to realize something and asked loudly.

Young Master Jiang Lu also interjected, "Could this thing be like a train that can travel thousands of miles in a day, faster than a horse?"

After seeing the magic of trains, they were no longer curious about some things, but learned to draw inferences from one example.

Li Zhao was amused by their thinking, but he explained seriously: "Yes, and no."

"This thing can indeed speed up eight hundred miles like a horse, but it won't move."

"Can't move?" The two scratched their heads, "How can I send a message if I can't move?"

Both of them looked at Li Zhao. Li Zhao shook his head and smiled, showing a mysterious expression and said: "If I say that they can transmit messages even if they don't move, do you believe it?"

"Can a message be conveyed without moving?"

Both of them were surprised at the same time, showing strange expressions.

"Of course I can. It's just that I don't have time to explain it to my eldest brother at the moment. I will naturally know when the construction is completed."

"As long as you build the relay base station and place the telegraph machine within the range that can receive the message, you can receive the message."

Li Zhao explained in detail, but the two of them were confused, but they finally understood the general idea.

Even if this object is not moving, it can still convey the message.

The two of them were curious, but this was the first time Li Zhao asked them for help, so how could they ignore it? So they disguised themselves and went to find a suitable place according to Li Zhao's wishes.

Half a month later, news came from Xianyang that the Qin army had received a batch of large-scale murderous weapons, which were brought back by the Taiwei. The number was unknown, but it was no less than a thousand.

The crisis finally emerged.
