Zhai Feihong, the deputy sect leader of the Red Lotus Sect and the senior disciple of the sect, stood on the top of a mountain, looking out from a distance and directing the war ahead. On the battle map beside him, you can see the units of measurement of 'kilometers' and 'hours', and the standards of the Ocean 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 3,000 kilometers!

Zhai Feihong put down his binoculars and focused his eyes on the 65 telegraph machines in front of him, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Not only are telegraphs expensive, the total value of 65 telegraphs 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 spirit stones! This is a high-grade spirit stone.

And the telegraph should be used at least in pairs, which is twice the cost.

But the most important thing is the impact of the telegraph on information, intelligence, and especially on warfare.

In the past, the battle line stretched for more than 3,000 kilometers, and the information delay was very serious. Even if the Red Lotus Sect has a powerful means of communication, the traditional means of communication are even more expensive.

In the past, correspondence was usually a transmission of flying swords, a magic weapon of the jade of the child and mother, or even a trace of the primordial spirit of the transformation period.

The distance of the telecommunication flying sword is relatively close, it is difficult to exceed 300 kilometers, and it is easy to be stopped, the flight time is also long, and it is a one-time consumable. Long-distance communication requires continuous relay, which is cumbersome and unsafe.

However, the jade can only communicate unilaterally, and it is scarce and expensive, so it is difficult to use on a large scale. The Red Lotus Sect pulled the warehouse, and found three pieces of jade, which were not enough at all.

Then there is a trace of the primordial spirit of the transformation period, which is also one-time, and it has an impact on the transformation period. The value of a god transformation period cannot be measured by wealth, even if the transformation period has exploded now.

But now the development of the Transformation Period, thanks to the accumulation of the past, with the late Yuan Infant and peak masters have become the Transformation Stage, now there is a fault in cultivation. It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the increase in the incarnation period will be very slow.

In short, all the means of communication in the past combined, tied together, are not comparable to the telegraph.

With telegraphs, it was possible to make contact with people from afar, and according to current tests, telegraphs were almost instantaneous in their transmission speed—the only thing that delayed time was the speed at which the telegraphers on both sides could communicate, including the speed of translation and handwriting.

Moreover, the telegraph distance is far away, and according to the current extreme test, the Ocean Group has actually achieved direct communication between the east and west ends of the Fertile Continent - a straight-line distance, about 23,000 kilometers!

Telegraph technology is powerful, but its impact on the world is also immeasurable. Especially in terms of war.

In the past, it was normal for communications to be delayed for a day or two between the commander-in-chief of the front and the rear, and often reinforcements arrived, the vanguard had disappeared, and as a result, the reinforcements were trapped again. Generally, excellent generals will leak enough room for error.

But with the telegraph, the news was instantaneous. Moreover, it has become possible to command the armed forces from a distance! This has set new demands on the military commanders, and warfare has become more and more extreme.

At present, 65 telegraph machines are dripping, and Zhai Feihong has kept in touch with the front-line army and even with the headquarters of the Red Lotus Sect through telegraphs. There were even ten telegraphs dedicated to the contact of front-line scouts, spies, etc.

Handwritten telegrams were pasted on the walls and converted into military maps, sand tables, etc.

Suddenly, a piece of information marked with a red arrow was sent to Zhai Feihong. Zhai Feihong picked it up and looked at it, and his scalp suddenly went numb:

Mingjiao intervened!

Previously, due to the pressure of the Ocean Group and many holy places, the Ming Sect had to announce that it would cancel its connection with the Holy Fire Sect. But Mingjiao didn't stop there!

Mingjiao 'indirectly' intervened. At the cost of land, the Holy Fire Sect exchanged a large amount of military equipment, spirit stones, elixirs, magic weapons, and even chariots from the Ming Sect.

Especially for chariots, Mingjiao absorbed the technology of the Dayang Group, and cooperated with the Xiaoyao faction, plus its own accumulation, such as refining methods, etc., to develop its own chariot technology.

These combat vehicles, capable of firing ...... Spell!

Not bad, not to fire shells, but to fire spells. At present, it can launch spells of the three elemental types of water, fire and earth, with a range of up to twenty kilometers, which is very powerful.

Mingjiao called this kind of chariot "chariot of light".

At present, at the easternmost end of the battle line, near the Ming Sect, some chariots have already arrived, which has had 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 Light Chariot as the vanguard. The Bright Chariot first fired hundreds of spell shells, which exploded above the Red Lotus Legion, blooming with flames that were 'more than thirty meters in radius', and these flames fell, detonating a large amount of ammunition, and eventually causing the ammunition depot to explode.

More than 12,000 pioneers of the 1st Eastern Army were annihilated. Less than 3,000 fled.

When Zhai Feihong saw this report, he smashed his fist on the table with an angry fist and shouted: "Tell me the fool of the First Army: our artillery has a range of up to 40 kilometers, and some of the artillery purchased from the Ocean Group has a range of up to 80 kilometers." How did they get this chariot of light twenty kilometers closer!"

However, after a roar, Zhai Feihong came back to his senses: the range is far from the high hit rate, and the main combat distance on the battlefield is still within ten kilometers, sometimes even three kilometers, and even close combat.

After thinking for a while, Zhai Feihong issued a new order: finally won the victory, the Holy Fire Sect will inevitably pursue, so let the Eastern First Legion continue to 'rout', lure the enemy deeper, and drag the enemy;

After that, Zhai Feihong conveyed the matter of the Bright Chariot, including its appearance, to each legion, so that everyone could pay attention to it, and if necessary, he would concentrate fire and attack.

Regarding the war between the Holy Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect, Zhang Hao soon received information that the Ocean Group could easily intercept the telegram. The result of the sale of telegraph machines everywhere is that the Dayang Group has quietly controlled the news of the cost! Electromagnetic waves are divergent, and it is enough for the Dayang Group to set up a few more antennas.

At present, the code of each telegram is binary, because there are only two buttons on the telegraph machine! If you want to do other bases, you can't do it! Or you can make a quaternary, but that's complicated, and others don't have the ability to change it. What's more, binary is bound to pinyin, which is more difficult to change.

The only thing others can do is that the message itself is encrypted. However, in order to make it easier for his family to understand, and the current encryption technology has just begun, it is not too easy for Dayang Group to crack it.

Therefore, now the Ocean Group does not even need to send spies to the front line, etc., and it is enough to know the situation at the front line just by intercepting communications. The communication between the two sides of the war, and even the various holy places behind, the Ocean Group is not clear, but at least it controls seventy or eighty percent!

When Dayang Group sells telegraphs, it is completely for the benefit of mankind!

Right now, seeing this so-called 'bright chariot', 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 magic weapon that could shoot spells. However, at that time, the weapons of war were relatively rudimentary and not very powerful. Later, the Ocean Group also did research, but soon gave up.

To put it simply, this thing: flashy! It looks good, but it has obvious shortcomings.

The 'cannonball' of each spell is a rune treasure, and the cost price is a bit high and scary, and it cannot be completely produced by machines, and it needs to be perfected by refiners in the later stage.

Moreover, the firing spell is technically complex, and it is necessary to manually activate the 'Fu Bao Cannonball' before launching - the military technology is complex, which means that the reliability is reduced, the maintenance is difficult, the use requirements are high, and the logistics pressure is high, so Zhang Hao simply cut off this piece of research.

However, since the Ming Sect dared to intervene secretly, and even took the opportunity to encroach on a large number of Holy Fire Sect's land, then the Ocean Group could not stand idly by. In particular, the Mingjiao seems to want to get involved in the land of Jiangxia Kingdom, and the Dayang Group is even more helpless.

In the past three years, in order to gain the support of the Dayang Group, the Red Lotus Sect has successively promised Jiangxia Kingdom, as well as Xihe Kingdom, which is also close to the Green Sea of Death, to Dayang Group. Combined, the area of these two countries is about two and a half the size of the former country of Qixia. It is enough to serve as the foundation for the future of Dayang Group.

Therefore, Mingjiao's move is tantamount to directly touching the bottom line of Dayang Group and Zhang Hao. We've been planning for so long, how can we let you destroy it at will!

In the afternoon of the same day, the Atlantic Fleet of the Ocean Group set off from Black Scale Island and went straight to Jiangxia Country in the south of Black Scale Island.

On the seashore of Jiangxia Kingdom, a legion of the Red Lotus Sect had already arrived - in pursuit of speed, they did not carry much baggage, munitions, etc., and flew over almost empty-handed. And arms, etc., are ordered directly from the Ocean Group!

The war of transformation in the new era has been spoiled by the Dayang Group! However, the Dayang Group has a beautiful name: the speed of industry and the power of capital!

In the evening, the fleet arrived, and a large amount of arms was delivered to the seashore of Jiangxia Kingdom, and the two sides handed over smoothly.

The materials transported this time are almost enough for the normal consumption of a million troops for a month! It is completely possible to open up a second battlefield behind the Holy Fire Sect.

At this time, most of the Flame Cult's military forces had been moved to the south—they had no fear that the Ocean Group would send troops. It's just that the Holy Fire Sect didn't expect the Ocean Group to do this:

The Red Lotus Sect sent troops, and we sent arms; no, it was to sell arms, and the Red Lotus Sect signed a purchase contract worth 30 million high-grade spirit stones.

Late that evening, before the Holy Fire Sect could react, the Red Lotus Sect's army had already frantically advanced more than two hundred kilometers and completely gained a foothold. The second battlefield was successfully opened, and the Holy Fire Cult entered the countdown to death.

............

The war in the south has certainly attracted great attention, this is the second large-scale war after the war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, or the industrial war - the previous war of the Ocean Group attacking the Xuanming Sect, the situation on the battlefield was just a tiger's tail, and after a fight against the Xuanming Sect, it was softened.

However, compared with the war in the south, there is one thing that has a greater impact, and that is: Xianshan. To be exact, it is Xianshan's 'suspected discovery' of the way to the inner layer, and this is expected to find the secret after the transformation period! Although the specific needs to be investigated, it does not hinder everyone's excitement.

The war in the south is a matter outside the body, and it is good to watch the excitement, but the exploration of the fairy mountain is related to its own future. It's clear which is more important at a glance!

For a while, there were more people who wanted to go out to sea to explore. But now it's not easy to go to sea to explore Xianshan.

Different from Liuli Island, the current Xuanwu Mountain is completely controlled by the 'Xianshan Exploration Group', the current Xianshan Exploration Group, with more than 1,300 traditional transformation periods, and the recent new Jin Gao Hand (Jindan Avenue's transformation period) is as high as 5,000!

Thanks to so many powerful masters, although the Candle Dragon Continent was unwilling, it also recognized the reality.

However, for the masters of the world of the earthly elephant, it is also difficult to enter the immortal mountain. Because, today's Xianshan Exploration Group has begun to move towards closure, and it is difficult for latecomers to enter. Unless you are willing to accept harsh conditions. For example, this time, the group will recruit more than 100 'death squads' to play forwards.

The war and the immortal mountain have caused the entire Fertile Land Continent to boil in the west.

On April 3, the seventh year of Tianyuan, the Dayang Group held a 'meeting of the Huashen Technology Research Base', at which the issue of the Xuanming Sect was discussed.

Three years ago, the Xuanming Sect was excluded from the 'Transformation Technology Research Base', and over the years, the Xuanming Sect could only spend a lot of money to break through here in the cultivation base, and could not participate in the research.

Three years ago, the "North Sea Treaty" stipulated that after three years, the qualifications of the Xuanming Sect would be discussed.

So I'm going to discuss this today, and see if the Xuanming Sect is qualified to enter the Transformation Technology Research Base in three years.

Participating in the vote were signatories to the North Sea Treaty, including representatives who have made outstanding contributions to technological research in recent years. Such as the country of Qixia, the country of Shaoze, the country of Canglan and so on. There are also the four holy places of Xuanzhen Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, Xianyin Sect, and West Kunlun.

There was not much nonsense, after the meeting began, Zhang Hao briefly talked about the 'efforts' and development of the Xuanming Sect over the years, and finally Zhang Hao initiated a vote. This vote will be voted by show of hands.

There are not many representatives, and one by one, everyone needs to give reasons whether they agree or disagree. Unless, waiver. Of course, more often than not, abstention is ridiculed – a good wall-to-wall grass.

The atmosphere began to be tense, and the deputies voted one by one, some for and some against. The future of the Xuanming Sect is in the hands of 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 balance the Ming Sect - of course, the reason on the surface cannot be said so, everyone said a little high-sounding reason;

The reason for this is that the Xuanming Sect has not strictly implemented the "Beihai Treaty" recently, which has harmed many of the interests of the Mingjiao -- this is a bone in the egg.

However, it shows that some business representatives of the sect have deceived people too much, which has led to the accumulation of opposition from the people of the Xuanming Sect, so that it has caused a lot of conflicts. Originally, the "North Sea Treaty" made the Xuanming Sect suffer humiliation, and the Mingjiao came to step on it, and the conflict was too normal. But it must also be said that it is indeed inconsistent with the North Sea Treaty.

Then there are various countries, some for which there are those who agree and some who are against, and everyone's reasons are high-sounding. Of course, there are abstentions, because the affairs of the Xuanming Sect are a bit tricky, and some representatives can only do it once.

The vote went on little by little, but the situation was a little strange: the people who were in favor and those who were against were almost equal!

The representative of the Xuanming Sect, Bai Feiying, was nervous again, and his face turned pale.

In the end, it was the turn of the four holy places of the Xuanzhen Sect, and the bigwigs appeared last.

Bai Feiying grabbed the chair's deputy with both hands, and his fingers sank into the wood.

The Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect voted in favor, while the Xianyin Sect and Xi Kunlun voted against. At this point, except for the Ocean Group, which did not express its position, all the votes were over, and the affirmative votes were only one more vote than the negative votes.

The decision of Dayang Group is crucial!

The atmosphere froze. Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Hao!

Unconsciously, the fate of the Xuanming Sect fell into the hands of Zhang Hao again!

According to the rules of the conference: if there is an agreement and disapproval, plus many abstentions, the Xuanming Sect will lose the qualification to join the research base of the Transformation Technology.

Unless, unless, there are a few more votes in favor, even if it's just one vote.
