Chapter 584 Voting

Zhai Feihong, the deputy leader of the Red Lotus Sect and the head disciple, stood on a hilltop, watching from afar and directing the battle ahead. On the battle map beside him, you can see the measurement units of 'kilometer' and 'hour', the standard of Dayang Group, which has penetrated into every aspect.

And just 50 kilometers ahead, a decisive battle has been going on for two days. And the battle line stretched for three thousand kilometers!

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

Not only are the telegraphs expensive, the total value of 65 telegraphs is 6.5 million; plus various supporting equipment, fuel cells, consumable spare parts, etc., the total value is more than 7 million top-grade spirit stones! This is a high-grade spirit stone.

And telegraphs must be used in pairs at least, which is twice the cost.

But most importantly, the impact of the telegraph on information, intelligence, and especially war.

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

In the past, the correspondence usually consisted of flying swords, mother-child jade magic weapons, or even a trace of primordial spirit in the stage of transforming gods.

The communication flying sword is relatively short, 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.

Zimuyu is good, and the distance can reach thousands of kilometers; however, Zimuyu can only communicate unilaterally, and Zimuyu is scarce and expensive, making it difficult to use on a large scale. The Red Lotus Sect rummaged through the warehouse and found three pieces of mother-of-child jade, which was not enough.

Then there is a trace of primordial spirit in the stage of transforming gods, which is also one-time, and has an impact on the stage of transforming gods. The value of a stage of transformation into a god cannot be measured by wealth, even if the stage of transformation into a god is exploding now.

However, the current development of the God Transformation stage has benefited from the accumulation of the past; as the late Nascent Soul and peak masters have become the God Transformation Stage one after another, there is now a gap in cultivation. It can be foreseen that for a long time to come, the increase of the god transformation period will be very slow.

In short, all the means of communication in the past are combined and tied together, and they are not as good as the telegraph.

With the telegraph, it is possible to get in touch with people far away; according to current tests, the transmission speed of the telegraph is almost instantaneous - the only delay is the communication speed of the telegraph operators on both sides, including the speed of translation and handwriting.

Moreover, the telegram distance is far away. According to the current extreme test, the Dayang Group has actually achieved direct communication between the east and west ends of Fertility Continent—a straight-line distance of about 23,000 kilometers!

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

In the past, a delay of one or two days in communication between the frontline and the rear commander was normal. Often when the reinforcements arrived, the vanguard had disappeared, and the reinforcements were trapped again. Generally good generals will leave enough room for error.

But with the telegraph, the message is instant. Moreover, it has become possible to command the army remotely! This puts forward new requirements for the military commander, and the war is becoming more and more extreme.

Right now, 65 telegraphs were beeping, and Zhai Feihong kept in touch with the frontline army and even the headquarters of the Red Lotus Sect through the telegraphs. There are even ten telegraph machines dedicated to contacting frontline scouts and spies.

Handwritten telegrams were posted on the wall, and then converted into military maps, sand tables, etc.

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

Mingjiao intervenes!

Before, due to the pressure from the Dayang Group and many holy places, Mingjiao had to announce that it would cancel its connection with the Holy Fire Cult. But Mingjiao didn't stop there!

The Ming Cult intervened 'indirectly'. At the cost of land, the Sacred Fire Cult obtained a large amount of military equipment, spirit stones, pills, magic weapons, and even chariots from the Ming Cult.

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

These chariots can fire... spells!

That's right, instead of shooting cannonballs, it's firing spells. At present, the spells of the three elements of water, fire, and earth can be launched, with a range of up to 20 kilometers, and the power is very impressive.

Mingjiao called this kind of chariot the "Chariot of Light".

At present, some chariots have arrived at the easternmost end of the battle line, near the Mingjiao, which has greatly affected the Red Lotus Cult.

Zhai Feihong picked up the telegram and read it carefully:

At 10:12 in the morning, the Sacred Fire Cult launched a general attack with the Chariot of Light as the vanguard. The Chariot of Light first fired hundreds of spell shells. These shells exploded above the Red Lotus Legion, bursting into flames with a radius of more than 30 meters. These flames fell, detonating a large amount of ammunition, and finally caused the ammunition to explode. The library was killed.

More than 12,000 pioneers of the First Eastern Legion were annihilated. Less than three thousand escaped.

When Zhai Feihong saw this report, he slammed his fist on the table angrily, and shouted, "Tell me the idiots of the First Legion: Our artillery has a range of up to 40 kilometers, and some of the artillery purchased from Dayang Group can reach 80 kilometers. How did they make this bright chariot close to 20 kilometers!"

But after shouting for a while, Zhai Feihong regained his senses: far range does not mean a high hit rate, so far the main combat distance on the battlefield is still within ten kilometers, sometimes even three kilometers, or even close combat.

After thinking for a while, Zhai Feihong issued a new order: After finally winning the victory, the Sacred Fire Cult will definitely pursue it, so let the Eastern First Army continue to "rout", lure the enemy deep, and hold the enemy back; let the Eastern Second Army Go and copy the back route of the Holy Fire Cult's Eastern Legion, and come to close the door and beat the dog.

Afterwards, Zhai Feihong conveyed the information about the Bright Chariot, including its appearance, to each legion, so that everyone could pay attention to it; if necessary, they should concentrate fire to attack.

Zhang Hao quickly received information about the war between the Sacred Fire Sect and the Red Lotus Sect - the Dayang Group could easily intercept the telegram. The result of selling telegraphs everywhere is: Dayang Group has quietly controlled the news from all parties! Electromagnetic waves are divergent, and Dayang Group only needs to build a few more antennas.

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

The only way others can adopt is: the information sent is itself encrypted. But in order to make it easier for my family to understand, and the current encryption technology has just begun, Dayang Group should not be too easy to crack.

Therefore, now the Dayang Group does not even need to send spies to the front line, etc., just relying on intercepting communications is enough to understand the situation on the front line. Dayang Group doesn't know everything about the communication between the two sides of the war, and even the subsequent holy places, but at least 70% to 80% of it is controlled!

It is true that Dayang Group sells telegraphs for the benefit of mankind!

Now, seeing this so-called 'Bright Chariot', Zhang Hao shook his head and put the news aside.

As early as Zhang Hao went to the battlefield for the first time, he saw this kind of war weapon that could shoot spells. However, the magic weapons of war at that time were relatively simple and not very powerful. Later, Dayang Group also did research, but quickly gave up.

In a nutshell, this thing: flashy! It looks good, but the shortcomings are obvious.

Each 'cannonball' of a spell is a talisman. The cost price is a bit high and scary, and it cannot be completely produced by a machine. It needs to be perfected by a craftsman in the later stage.

Moreover, launching spells requires complicated technology, and you need to manually activate the "talisman shells" before launching - complex military technology means reduced reliability, difficult maintenance, high requirements for use, and heavy logistical pressure, etc., so Zhang Hao is very straightforward. cut off this piece of research.

However, since the Ming Cult dared to intervene secretly, and even took the opportunity to occupy a large amount of the land of the Holy Fire Cult, the Dayang Group could not stand still. In particular, Mingjiao seems to want to get involved in Jiangxia's land, and Dayang Group can't stand still.

In the past three years, in order to gain the support of the Ocean Group, the Red Lotus Sect has successively promised the Ocean Group the Jiangxia Kingdom, and the Xihe Kingdom in the southwest of the Jiangxia Kingdom, which is also close to the Green Sea of ​​Death. The combined area of ​​these two countries is about two and a half times that of Qixia Country in the past. It is enough to be the foundation of Dayang Group's future.

Therefore, Mingjiao's actions directly touched the bottom line of Dayang Group and Zhang Hao. We have been planning for so long, how can we let you destroy it casually!

That afternoon, the Oceanic Group's Atlantic Fleet set off from Blackscale Island and went straight to Jiangxia Kingdom in the south of Blackscale Island.

On the seashore of Jiangxia Kingdom, a Red Lotus Sect corps had arrived—in order to pursue speed, they didn't carry much luggage, ammunition, etc., and almost flew over empty-handed. As for arms, etc., order them directly from Dayang Group!

The war of modernization in the new era has been ruined by Dayang Group! But Dayang Group euphemistically said: the speed of industry, the power of capital!

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

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

At this time, most of the military forces of the Holy Fire Cult were transferred to the south-they were not worried at all that the Dayang Group would send troops. It's just that the Holy Fire Cult didn't expect Dayang Group to do this:

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

In the middle of the night that day, before the Sacred Fire Cult reacted, the Red Lotus Cult army had advanced more than 200 kilometers crazily, completely gaining a firm foothold. The second battlefield was successfully opened, and the Holy Fire Cult entered the countdown to death.

…………

The war in the south certainly attracted great attention. This is the second large-scale war after the war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, and it is still an industrialized war. It's just anticlimactic, and after beating Xuan Mingjiao, he was subdued.

However, compared to the war in the south, there is one thing that has a greater impact, and that is: Xianshan. To be exact, Xianshan "suspectedly discovered" the door to the inner layer, and this is expected to find the secret after the transformation stage! Although the specifics still need to be investigated, it does not hinder the excitement of everyone.

The war in the south is a matter outside the body, just watch the excitement; but the exploration of Xianshan is related to its own future. It is clear at a glance which is more important!

For a time, more people wanted to explore the sea. But now it is not easy to go out to sea to explore Xianshan.

Different from Liuli Island, the current Xuanwu Mountain is completely controlled by the "Xianshan Exploration Group". Transformation stage), it was as high as 5,000!

Thanks to so many powerful masters, although Zhulongzhizhou was not reconciled, it also recognized the reality.

However, for the masters in the world of earth elephants, it is also very difficult to enter the fairy mountain. Because, today's Xianshan Exploration Group has begun to become closed, 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 a hundred 'death squads' to play forward.

The war and the fairy mountains caused the entire West of Fertile Land to be full of uproar.

As the center of the storm, the Dayang Group was not reconciled to being ordinary. On April 3, the seventh year of Tianyuan, the Dayang Group held the "Conference of the God Transformation Technology Research Base", and discussed the issue of Xuanmingjiao at the meeting.

Three years ago, Xuanmingjiao was excluded from the "Shenhua Technology Research Base". In recent years, Xuanmingjiao can only spend a lot of money to break through in the practice base, but cannot participate in the research.

Three years ago, the "Beihai Treaty" stipulated that three years later, the qualification of Xuanmingjiao would be discussed.

So we are going to discuss this today, to see if Xuan Mingjiao is eligible to enter the Huashen Technology Research Base in three years' time.

Those who participated in the voting included the signatories of 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 started, Zhang Hao briefly talked about the "efforts" and development of Xiaxuan Mingjiao over the years, and finally Zhang Hao initiated a vote. This vote will be voted by show of hands.

There are not many representatives, so come one by one, and everyone needs to give a reason whether they agree or disagree. Unless, abstain. Usually, of course, abstaining is sneered at - a piece of cake.

The atmosphere became tense, and the representatives voted one by one, with some in favor and of course against. The future of Xuanming Sect is in the hands of this meeting.

The Red Lotus Sect and others agree, everyone has seen the fangs of Mingjiao, and hopes that Xuanmingjiao can check and balance Mingjiao-of course, the reasons on the surface cannot be said that way, everyone will say some high-sounding reasons;

And Mingjiao itself is naturally opposed; the reason is: Xuanmingjiao has not strictly implemented the "Beihai Treaty" recently, which has damaged many interests of Mingjiao-this is nitpicking.

However, it shows that some commercial representatives of the sect have deceived people too much, which has led to the accumulation of opposition from the Xuanming sect among the people, which has caused many conflicts. Originally, the "Beihai Treaty" caused the Xuanmingjiao to suffer humiliation, and the Mingjiao stepped on it. The conflict is too normal. But it must also be said that it does not comply with the North Sea Treaty.

Then there are various countries, some agree and some oppose, and everyone's reasons are high-sounding. Of course, there were also those who abstained, because the affairs of the Xuanming Sect were a bit tricky, and some representatives could only be foolish once.

The votes were carried out bit by bit, but the situation was a bit strange: those who agreed and those who opposed were almost evenly divided!

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

Finally, it was the turn of the four holy places of Xuanzhen Sect, and the bosses made their final appearance.

Bai Feiying grabbed the side of the chair with both hands, and his fingers sank into the wood.

Xuanzhen Sect and Xiaoyao Sect voted in favor, while Xianyinzong and West Kunlun voted against it. So far, all the votes have ended except Dayang Group, which has not made a statement, and the yes vote is only one more than the no vote.

Dayang Group's decision is crucial!

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

Unknowingly, the fate of Xuanming Sect fell into Zhang Hao's hands again!

According to the regulations of the conference: if there is an equal balance of approval and opposition, plus many abstentions, Xuanmingjiao will lose the qualification to join the Huashen Technology Research Base.

Unless, there are a little more votes in favor, even if it is only one vote.
