Chapter 456 Xianyang Artillery

He did what he said, and 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 telegraph manual, and the students could learn from it without his intervention.
This is only the first step in telegraph communication. The second step is to 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, probably the only two young masters who are familiar with the Guanzhong area are the two young masters.
The Guanzhong area is an old part of the Qin State, and those who win over Qin will never be unfamiliar with it.
The people in the trading firm have traveled all over the country and are naturally familiar with the Guanzhong area. However, during this period, almost all the people in the trading firm have been fired. The remaining people have many things to do, and I am afraid that few can be spared.
The most suitable candidates for the job are generals. They have also said that they are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses, 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 and yang.
Historically, these two people were not evil people and should be trustworthy. Li Zhao felt relieved when he handed the telegram to them.
So, he ordered the two princes to be summoned.
"Two eldest brothers, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Li Zhao is not long-winded and gets straight to the point.
The two princes were naturally very happy and responded: "Please give me your orders. 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 give in, 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, and 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 brain circuits, but he explained seriously: "Yes, and no."
"This thing can indeed go as fast as a horse running eight hundred miles, but it won't move."
"Can't move?" The two of them scratched their heads, "How can I send a message if I can't move?"
The two of them looked at Li Zhao at the same time. 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.
"Naturally, it's just that I don't have time to explain it to my brother at the moment. I'll 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 doesn't move, it can still convey messages.
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 weapons, which were brought back by the Taiwei. The number was unknown, but it was no less than a thousand.
The crisis finally emerged.
