What is the concept of a distance of ten miles? Whether it is the countries of Europa or the Red and Bronze Crown Group, the effective killing distance of the large artillery in service in the army is only about three miles. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This has to be a rifled gun, and if it is a smoothbore gun, the effective range is even shorter. For example, the Harrier Eagle cannon equipped with a red copper crown is a small field gun, and the effective distance is only one mile.

And the elite Dao soldiers of Daohai Zongyuan's precise control range of the Liujia Arrow were only within eight hundred meters of the sky.

In the era of the steam industry, weapons of mass destruction that could only exist in civil and official memorabilia and notebook novels. Even the casting of bronze howitzers and the popularization of equipment are still a touchstone for demonstrating the industrial power of a country.

This is true in armament, but also in communications technology.

Since ancient times, information transmission has been nothing more than beacons and post transmissions. The former can only be used to convey border troubles and enemy situations, and post transmission is the main artery for a country to effectively manage. Regardless of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, even if they knew that maintaining the post station postal system required a lot of manpower and material resources, post stations, post officials, post guards, and post horses, all of which were huge financial burdens, but except for Chongzhen, the wonderful emperor who diligently caused chaos for the state, and the equally strange late Ming and Qing Dynasty, no one had ever thought of playing any bloodletting treatment method of "dismantling the post" on the artery that maintained the country's rule.

And the more it reaches the end of the dynasty, whether it is the reform of the ancient system or the improvement of the map, the stronger the backlash will become. The Westernization Movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty was able to set up a telegraph office, and was able to gradually implement the transformation of post posts into postal posts on the land of China, all thanks to the support of Li Hongzhang, the number one local powerful faction with heavy troops.

Otherwise, the wave of unemployment caused by the promotion of the telegraph office alone, even if Li Zicheng could not become the second, would be enough for the Qing court to drink a pot.

For human beings, almost every new technology will promote social change, and efficient communication technology such as the telegraph is a tool of rule that cannot be ignored by any country or political group. Even if the Eight-Nation Alliance entered the capital in the year of Gengzi, the Empress Dowager Cixi fled from Zhili in a panic with Guangxu, who had become a puppet, and transferred all the way to Xi'an City.

Ironically, in this national movement instigated by the Manchu people and nobles, looking at the entire northern land, except for Shaanxi, which had just put down the Bai Yanhu rebellion, Shanxi, Shandong, Zhili, and Henan, which had been hit hard by the Boxer Rebellion, could no longer find a complete telegraph line and telegraph office.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the capital fell into the hands of the enemy twice in a row, first there was Xianfeng Xijia Chengde Summer Resort, and then Cixi and Guangxu visited Xi'an City, which was the prelude to the chaos of the dynasty and the division of feudal towns. However, such a court that lost its power and humiliated the country could still hold on to the last bit of central authority, and actually reluctantly suppressed the small abacus of the local governor and the southeast to protect each other, and insisted on continuing the Manchu state for more than ten years, and the cable telegraph could really be said to have made great contributions in it.

Murong Yu, who is promoting the ****** of telegraph technology, is not just an article on technological innovation?

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, apart from Wei Ye himself, the Dao officials under the Daohai Sect Source Sect may not be able to see such a distant place. It's just because of the relationship between the two companies that are both cooperative and competitive, and they are a little vigilant.

But where can Murong Parrot's actions be hidden from Wei Ye?

Drawing on the idea of the mirror of the lotus light fixed spirit, the correction and promotion of the turtle Buhan mirror began, and in the final analysis, it was necessary to open another way out in addition to the cable telegraph.

And this battle in the land of Yanyun happens to be the most suitable testing ground.

While pondering, a Taoist official stood up and bowed to Wei Ye: "Master, we have been on the front line for a long time, and we don't know much about the things in the rear. However, there seems to be some similarities in the cable telegraph and the new magic mirror of Shijun's sacrifice. May I ask you, Master, can you give me a copy of the technical documents of the cable telegraph?"

Glancing at the young Taoist who stood up, the immortal warlock smiled slightly, and called his name: "Xie Mingxian, right? I remember that you are also a top student of Qinggeng Academy, but I don't seem to have the impression that you are not from a major related to Gewu?"

Wei Ye's words, all of a sudden, the hall of Taoist officials couldn't help but look at this tall young Taoist official, surprised and scrutinized, inevitably a little more playful. But Xie Mingxian just maintained a bowed posture and was unmoved.

After a short silence, it was Wei Ye who laughed himself: "It's not too late to make up for the class now, the cable telegram that Murong Parrot made is very simple." To make a smart machine, you can't just take a few formulas from a book. You are a soldier who leads the army, and now you don't have the leisure to study and do learning, and there are only more than ten kinds of telegraph models designed in the past 30 years. But—"

Speaking of this, Wei Ye turned his head and nodded to the young scribe in the corner: "Write this down, the telegraph design files that will be issued at this meeting are classified documents, and they must be well managed, such as borrowing, archiving, and transferring." ”

With a flick of the Immortal Warlock's sleeve, the drawings and manuals that had already been bound fell on the table.

"Nothing else, it's not too late for you to figure out these basic electrostatic telegraph models. ”

What Wei Ye took out were the most basic and primitive models of telegraphs. One was the mid-eighteenth-century telegraph designed by the George II scholar Moorson, a model of a telegraph that operated electrostatically and used 26 wires to represent 26 letters. The other is the blister telegram of the Spanish scholar Savoie, which replaces the wire letters of Morson's telegram by producing gas through an electrolysis reaction in salt water.

The last one is the pointer-coded telegraph made by the Russian Barron Schilling, which is also the pointer-type experimental telegraph whose design idea is closest to the first generation of wired telegraphs. Both the Charles telegram in Britain and the Morse telegram in the United States were based on the Schilling telegraph.

It's just that I don't know, can the Daohai Sect's source disciples give people a surprise in this kind of knowledge that requires sophisticated logical thinking, like studying the Dao Sutra and practicing various techniques?

The worst thing is that the elite Taoist officials who participated in the meeting this time shouldn't come up with anything like a paper crane to fool things, right?
