Xiang Ningxuan was in a hurry to rush back, but it was not entirely an excuse, but there was indeed something important to deal with.

The new communication system he and Rong Zheng jointly developed has finally come to fruition.

After the apocalypse, whether it is a wireless signal or a wired signal, the carrier wave is not greatly affected in the propagation process, but the signal transmitted on the carrier is inexplicably attenuated. So, there's a situation where I'm talking on the phone here, and all you hear over there is a meaningless noise.

Therefore, the first thing to do to restore communication is to overcome the attenuation problem in the signal propagation process.

This problem is already difficult to solve with earth technology, at least not in the short term. Researchers can only find a way to overcome it with magical techniques.

It just so happened that in the battle with the Scourge, Xiang Ningxuan and Rong Zheng each recruited a lich. These lichs were powerful magicians during their lifetimes, and ordinary people are not qualified to transform into lichs. Not only are they proficient in necromancy and psychic spells, but they are also not bad at arcane arts.

The existence of the Lich Araki is rather special, because Xiang Ningxuan is stuck in his life box, not his body. After summoning Araki through the life box, even if the life box is reset to a card because the time is up, Araki will not disappear. And this development of communication technology is that Araki is in charge of the development of magic.

Of course, the lich doesn't understand the modern communication technology of the earth, and the communication technology of Azeroth can only be communicated by the ** master. There is simply no way to use machines and equipment to enable ordinary people to communicate remotely.

It is in this situation that the technology must be developed by researchers in collaboration with the Lich.

As a result of this effort, a new communication device combining magic and technology has been created, which uses magic to protect the signal from decay. Since it is the first experimental machine, it has been made very large and powerful, but it still requires the mage to manually provide mana to use it.

Despite these shortcomings, the problem of signal attenuation has been overcome.

Just yesterday, the first experimental machine sent out a large number of communication signals in all directions. Receiving terminals set up in various parts of the city received signals, proving that the experiment was successful.

However, what was surprising was that the signal sent by the first experimental machine was also received by Sijiu City in the distance.

It's going to blow up!

As the capital of the republic, Sijiu City has an inexplicable protective circle to protect it when the end comes, and even if the people in the core city fail to evolve, most of them will not become zombies, and the situation is far better than that of other regions.

This large city, which used to have a population of more than 20 million, still has more than 8 million people after the end of the world.

Moreover, there are many scientific research institutes in Sijiu City, and the technical strength is strong, so naturally there are also people who delve into the new magic technology.

After the end came, the central government lost contact with the local government, and they also urgently needed to solve the problem of long-distance communication.

Therefore, after investing huge manpower and material resources, not long ago, the scientific researchers in Sijiu City took the lead in manufacturing equipment that can communicate over long distances.

But the embarrassing thing is that they can send out the signal, but they can't receive the signal from others. Because there is no ability to communicate remotely in other places.

It's like you're the only one who has a phone in your house, but everyone else doesn't have a phone at home, so what can you do with it? There is no way to communicate at all!

In this regard, the central government has no choice but to send elite troops with the core components of the communication device to help establish a communication station in the surrounding areas of Sijiu City, and at the same time search for various signals in all frequency bands.

The signal from the city of S was the first time they had received a signal with a clear message.

The excited researchers immediately found the other party's frequency band and replied with a signal. And so the communication was established.

Rong Zheng, who got the news, was shocked, and hurriedly found Zhao Zhenggang and reported the situation in S City to the central government with him. Of course, it is also essential to complain about grievances and provide support.

The central government also attaches great importance to the news of S City, after all, a huge country cannot be contacted hundreds of kilometers away for 20 consecutive days, and judging from the situation of the nearby cities that have been contacted, the situation is simply terrible.

I thought that two-thirds of the people in Sijiu City had died, which was already a very bad thing, but I didn't expect that the situation in Jinmen City, which was not far from Sijiu City, was even worse, with only about one-tenth of the survivors.

This made the chiefs anxious but helpless.

And the news from S City, thousands of kilometers away, was like a ray of light in the endless darkness, which made the chiefs ecstatic.

But after the euphoria, a whole bunch of problems were immediately placed in front of them. Moreover, I am afraid that the problems of S City also exist in other places, and how to deal with the problems of S City will become a template for other places, and we must be cautious.

The seven chiefs met overnight, starting with the issue of the army. According to Rong Zheng's report, they formed the so-called column directly under the municipal party committee on their own, and if this behavior was before the end of the day, it would be no different from a rebellion.

Now the situation is exceptional, and it is understandable to form armies on their own, but how to position these armies is a matter of debate.

"Countless historical lessons tell us that allowing local governments to form their own armies is a precursor to the demise of a dynasty. I propose that officers be sent to receive these armies, under the unified command of the central government. ”

The fourth leader immediately retorted: "The root cause of the fall of the ancient dynasty is the serious annexation of land, and the people's livelihood. What's more, sending one officer can take over the local army? You would be naïve! Besides, there are so many prefectures and cities in the country, even if each prefecture and city sends one, do we have so many senior officers? This kind of thing can't be done at all. Rather than that, I would suggest that the status quo be and that these armies be recognized. ”

The fifth leader said angrily: "This will only make the local army self-respecting, and then the country will fall into a state of warlord division and princes!" Give such an order, and we will become sinners of the country and the people! Even if we can't control all the places, we must at least control these areas that have been contacted! ”

The Fourth Leader retorted, "You're messing around like this!" When the local comrades finally re-established order, we reached out to pick peaches and take over the local military power, which would only alienate the localities from us! Let me ask you, what would you do if they killed the man you sent to take over the military power? ”

The two chiefs quarreled-for-tat, and neither could convince anyone.

The second chief interrupted their argument and said: "Our current situation is quite special, and it is this sudden disaster that has caused all this. The first priority now is to protect the lives of the surviving people. As long as we think about the people wholeheartedly, the people will not abandon us. As long as there is the support of the people, even if it is a little small, it can be extinguished! ”

The No. 1 chief clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Now is not the time to think about what is good for the people, and we will do it. ”
