"Wenhao, I've already sent you the firepower generator and the telegraph transceiver. Now, I'll have to trouble you to quickly assemble and debug them. Try to have the firepower generator up and running in two days. There are still some things I need to do at the post house, so I need to go back and take care of them. Once I'm done, I'll come back immediately! "
Taiyuan, Dragon Mountain. Under the protection of Dugu Feiying and the other Imperial Army soldiers, Li Tai and the others finally transported the firepower generator and other equipment to the Boy Temple at the top of the mountain. After all the equipment had been properly installed, Li Tai said to Meng Wenhao.
In the morning, after they had finalized the location of Dragon Mountain as the telegraph relay station, Meng Wenhao had remained on Dragon Mountain to coordinate the preliminary preparations. In the afternoon, when Li Tai and the others arrived at the Boy Temple again, the place had already undergone a complete makeover. Everything that needed to be cleaned had been cleaned, and the roof had been repaired.
Most importantly, the Imperial Army had completed a comprehensive defence around Dragon Mountain according to the terrain. In the ravines, behind the boulders, on the treetops, and so on, there were Imperial Army spies hidden in every corner. The entire mountain had now become a solid iron bucket. Even a Martial Grandmaster like Wu Jie would not be able to quietly sneak into the Boy Temple from the foot of the mountain.
In other words, unless there was a well-trained army of more than five thousand people attacking the mountain at all costs, it would be impossible to take down the current Dragon Mountain. If a weaker army rashly attacked the mountain, they would only suffer heavy losses because they had no idea where there were traps or where the Imperial Army soldiers were hiding in the dark!
"En, you can rest assured. Although my experience in engineering projects is not as good as yours, these things won't be difficult for me! Besides, I have so many classmates helping me! "
Meng Wenhao nodded solemnly and promised. Then, he looked at Li Tai and said with a serious face, "Qingque, you should be more careful in the city. We've all heard about the assassination of General Dugu. I suspect that there's a group of people in Taiyuan City who don't want us to build a telegraph relay station. Qingque, your identity is special, so they will definitely find ways to make a move on you!"
It had been a long time since the assassination attempt on Dugu Xin in the morning. Although Meng Wenhao and the other students of Yanhuang Academy had been waiting here since they arrived at Dragon Mountain, they still heard the news of the assassination attempt on Dugu Xin. Those who could enter Yanhuang Academy were not stupid. They knew very well how dangerous the situation they were facing was. But even under such circumstances, not a single one of them wanted to withdraw out of fear!
They were schoolmates, but at this moment, they were more like comrades-in-arms. In times of crisis, they helped each other and could trust each other with their backs. This was the golden generation of the Yanhuang Academy. In the future, when the Tang Empire defeated the Turks, there would definitely be a place for them in the history books!
"Wenhao, I'm relieved to hear your words!"
Li Tai smiled faintly, but his face was calm. He said, "As for my safety, you don't have to worry. Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Bing Province Barracks in the city. General Fei Ying and Iron Egg will also protect me at all times. It won't be easy for those rats hiding in the dark to hurt me! Our main task now is to build the telegraph relay station as soon as possible. The more those people don't want us to build it, the more we won't let them! If Dragon Mountain lacks anything, you can send someone down the mountain to inform Mr. Mo Chui. He will prepare it for you! "
