"Haven't you been contacted yet?" Zhang Hao stood in the telegraph communication center, waiting anxiously.

"Not yet. The head of the telegraph center had a serious face.

Just two hours ago, the telegraph center lost contact with the scientific research fleet heading to Sanxian Island, and lost contact without warning.

With the maturity of telegraph technology, according to the regulations of the Ocean Group, the outgoing fleet had to report every two hours. This not only strengthens the control of the fleet, but also allows the Ocean Group to be in control of what happens at any time.

Also, the normal situation is to report every two hours, but if you encounter a situation, you must report at any time. For example, everything before that was fully reported by telegram, including the return of the fleet, and it was a safe return.

Especially now, the situation is complicated, the strategic alliance and the anti-aggression alliance are still fighting, and the East is stupid and uneasy, so that the whole of the Ocean Group has to be careful and careful.

At this time, four hours have passed since the last time the scientific research fleet sent a message, which has exceeded twice the stipulated time, but there is still no signal.

Without warning, all the signals were lost.

There are hundreds of scientific research personnel of the Dayang Group on this battleship! Compared with the masters of the Transformation Stage and the steel warship, Zhang Hao feels even more sorry for these scientific researchers, and this is the treasure bump of the Dayang Group.

The telegram kept calling, but there was still no reply. The radio channel was changed and there was no response. Zhang Hao's face was already solemn.

A small staff meeting began, and everyone made their own analysis. Half an hour later, a staff answer was placed in front of Zhang Hao.

"Mr. Zhang, we think that there are so many possibilities for the sudden lack of signal.

First, there was an ambush, and some large barrier completely enveloped the fleet. But our fleets sail at sea, at a distance of at least three hundred meters, usually five hundred or even eight hundred meters, from each other.

The scientific research fleet has 7 warships, and even if the arrow queue is adopted, it will have an area of at least 3×2.5 kilometers at sea, which is difficult to cover by ordinary small formations. And the super-large formation is easy to expose, and it is almost difficult to envelop the fleet in an instant.

Therefore, an ambush is unlikely. Unless the rest of the fleet unites and strikes together. But we also intercepted the telegraph signals of the rest of the fleet, and after analysis we found nothing.

The second possibility is that someone else has developed electromagnetic interference and other means. But we also consulted the telegraph technicians, and they said that if they wanted to interfere with the electromagnetic signal, they either had specialized knowledge, which only the Ocean Group possessed, or they could emit an ultra-high-intensity magnetic field, but this could only interfere with the signal, not eliminate the signal.

The second possibility is largely ruled out.

The third possibility is that the fleet itself cut off the signal and carried out extreme tactical radio silence.

Radio silence, is a strategy that we have discussed before, but have not implemented. However, many senior executives of the Dayang Group are aware of this strategy.

In the event of an emergency, an important situation, or a necessary measure, radio silence is required to remain invisible.

After discussion, we believe that the third possibility is the most likely. Otherwise, with the warships of the Ocean Group and so many masters, it would be almost impossible for someone to cut off all electromagnetic signals in an instant. ”

"Do you take the initiative to cut off the signal?" Zhang Hao looked at the analysis report, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and slowly said: "No matter what, you must be prepared to deal with it." What if the fleet is really in trouble and waiting for us to come to the rescue.

For the time being, it is handled according to the third consideration, but also closely follows the radio signals of the fleets of the remaining parties.

Also, contact our merchant ships near Sanxian Island and pay attention to confidentiality. Take a confidential channel and password. ”

"Yes. ”

The merchant ships of the Ocean Group also have military missions. Many of those telegraph personnel, captains, etc., have dual identities, but the second identity is rarely used. Unless you receive a radio with a special code.

After all the tasks were arranged, Zhang Hao was left to wait quietly.

After a while, the secretary will report, and Li Yuanyuan is here.

Why is she here? Zhang Hao was a little surprised. Since the marriage was confirmed, Li Yuanyuan has not gone out of the door, and waited while practicing, unless Zhang Hao took the initiative to go. This is the first time Li Yuanyuan has taken the initiative to find it.

When I saw Li Yuanyuan, I saw her worried. "Hao, I'...... I thought about it for a long time, but I was still a little uneasy. We fell out with the Twelve Families of the East, and my father is still ...... East."

Zhang Hao smiled gently, took Li Yuanyuan's somewhat cold little hand, and with a little force, he directly held Li Yuanyuan in his arms, "Don't worry, uncle is safe in the East." First of all, a big family is a big family after all, and there are some things that you will still pay attention to. Even if there are any shady means, we are not afraid, there are five hundred gods by my uncle's side, and there are more than ten masters who have mastered supernatural powers.

Secondly, the Liang Dynasty in the East, cooperation with us has gradually unfolded, and once an accident occurs with my uncle as a representative, Liang Chao will not be able to save face. In fact, the uncle was still fully protected by the Liang Dynasty in the East. ”

Li Yuanyuan thought for a moment before nodding slowly, and finally a little smile bloomed on her face. In an instant, Zhang Hao was obsessed, the smile of worry and relief, the kind of heartfelt expression, made Zhang Hao slowly bow his head......

Li Yuanyuan shuddered and closed her eyes......

There was a knock on ......the door.

"Ah......" Li Yuanyuan suddenly jumped out of Zhang Hao's arms and sat next to him with a swish. Zhang Hao's face darkened, and he said with a cold face: "Come in." ”

The secretary came in, took a telegram, and put it on Zhang Hao's desk, "Mr. Zhang, the telegram just came from the Liang Dynasty in the East." ”

Zhang Hao picked up the telegram and looked at it, the telegram was sent by Li Yuanyuan's father, Li Yousheng, but what it conveyed was the meaning of the Liang Dynasty, and the Liang Dynasty was responsible for transmitting this information.

Zhang Hao looked at it carefully and smiled.

The meaning of the Liang Dynasty was very clear, they wanted to form an alliance with the Dayang Group, but they were not sure about the attitude of the Dayang Group, so they made contact and made a tentative touch.

The words are rather vague, saying that things should be watched, prosperity should be built together, and friendly business exchanges should be established, and it was also said that if the Dayang Group was responsible, the Liang Dynasty would send a high-level mission to visit the Dayang Group, and formally establish an embassy in the Dayang Group, and also invite the Dayang Group to establish an official embassy in the Liang Dynasty.

Previously, although there were exchanges between the Dayang Group and the Liang Dynasty in the East, it was more commercial. But this time, the Liang dynasty expressed its will at the political level.

Of course, Zhang Hao would not refuse such an application for friendship, but he did not blindly respond immediately, but convened a board of directors to brainstorm ideas.

Bai Ye, who was engaged in intelligence, was the first to speak, "I think, although this is a charcoal in the snow, but it may not be a robbery while the fire is burning." The Liang Dynasty was afraid that it would make some excessive demands, not limited to high-end technology, supernatural means, etc., and even ask for the support of large items such as steel warships. ”

Xie Hongsheng from Xinglin Hall also spoke: "One more point, is it possible that the other party is a puppet controlled by the Twelve Families?

Xie Hongsheng's words have attracted a lot of attention. This possibility ...... It's not that there isn't, but it's quite possible!

Up to now, it has always been Liang Chao who is talking to himself that he wants to get rid of the control of the Twelve Families, but it may not be a trap of the Twelve Families.

After a heated discussion for a long time, Zhang Hao finally made a decision: since the matter cannot be decided, it is necessary to send missions to each other. The Dayang Group will send an invitation to the Liang Dynasty, and at the same time, the Dayang Group will also send an official mission to visit the Liang Dynasty.

Until now, the Ocean Group has not sent an official mission.

The discussion about the Liang Dynasty is over, but there are more things to discuss in the Dayang Group. The transformation of the Dayang Group, and the transformation of each family and other families to fully integrate into the Dayang Group, will continue.

Xinglintang Group is a little troublesome, Dayang Group and Xinglintang Group hold each other's holdings, but after all, they are two groups, and they are completely two businesses. After discussing for a while, there is no better opinion for the time being, so it will be put on hold for the time being.

Then everyone began to discuss the war and the current situation, and finalized many strategies and directions for development one after another.

The land bridge is very expensive, and the construction of the project will be suspended.

Aircraft production, etc., there are many voices of opposition, but Zhang Hao also persuaded the public to leak the budget alone. For the time being, aircraft technology is indeed unable to meet the requirements of the cultivation world, whether it is people's livelihood or war, aircraft technology must be better. Zhang Hao has decided that the next step is jet technology.

The world of cultivation has put forward higher requirements for science and technology.

Later, Zhang Hao put forward a proposal to develop new warships and new artillery. According to the data collected from the recent war, new changes are brewing in the technology of the Ocean Group.

After more than nine years and nearly ten years of crazy technology accumulation, the technical background of Dayang Group is huge enough. It's time to break out!

In terms of new technology, Zhang Hao proposed:

new warships - warships with unified large-caliber artillery, as well as a larger displacement to prepare for ultra-long-range warfare;

Submarines - Now that the merman has been completely stabilized and trained a full 1,000 warriors, in order to give full play to the role of the merman, submarines and underwater gathering teams will be built to be responsible for the war under the sea and the exploitation of various marine resources, especially deep-sea resources;

Torpedo technology - in the future, torpedoes will occupy an important position in the attack methods of warships and submarines;

New artillery, rocket artillery - thanks to the maturity and research and development of torpedo launch technology, Dayang Group has mastered propulsion rocket technology;

Magic weapon armor technology - this brand-new magic weapon armor, in this sneak attack of the twelve families, showed strong combat effectiveness, especially in the environment inside the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, it is still strong; Zhang Hao also proposed the 'large-scale' of magic weapon armor technology, such as how to 20 meters in height, directly build the armor into a mecha.

In addition, comprehensive arrangements have been made for magic weapon technology, radio technology, formations, combat vehicles, etc., as well as espionage and intelligence.

From this moment on, the Ocean Group is completely in a state of readiness.
