"Young Master, Young Master, Xiao Xi can hear it!"
In order to test how far this simple wireless telegraph could travel, Li Zexuan, Xiao Xi and San Bao started the test. The first distance was set at two hundred and fifty meters, which was around seventy five feet. This was a very important distance as it directly affected whether Li Zexuan's wish could come true.
When he heard San Bao's report, Li Zexuan was very excited. He waved his hand and said excitedly, "Good! That's great! San Bao, ask Xiao Xi to walk another twenty feet away and see if she can hear the signal I sent! "
"Okay, Young Master, I will go now!"
San Bao answered with a grin and then hurriedly ran out.
After a while, San Bao ran back and said, "Young Master, Xiao Xi is in position. You can send the signal now!"
"Okay, San Bao, quickly go over!"
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he walked in front of the telegraph machine and gently pressed the button on the transmitter, casually sending out a string of codes.
"Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep!"
San Bao naturally ran back to Xiao Xi's side to check on the situation. He had no choice as he could not let Xiao Xi run around alone, right?
After a few minutes, San Bao ran back. However, his breathing was hurried and his forehead was covered in sweat. After all, running around in the hot weather was unbearable for anyone.
"Young Master! Xiao … Xiao Xi can hear your … your signal! "
"Okay! Ask Xiao Xi to walk another fifty feet! "
Li Zexuan was so excited that he was about to explode. This was the first time he felt so close to modern technology since he transmigrated.
"Ah?"
San Bao was instantly dumbfounded when she heard that. The addition of 750 feet, 200 feet, and 500 feet would be a total of 1,450 feet. A round trip would be about two miles. Furthermore, according to Li Zexuan's words, the journey would only get further and further. San Bao felt like she was about to kneel down!
"En? What happened? "
Li Zexuan was only thinking about the telegraph. His IQ and EQ were basically zero. He did not notice San Bao's expression. He only felt that San Bao was still in the house, so he could not help but ask curiously.
His casual question almost scared San Bao out of his wits. San Bao thought that his Young Master was dissatisfied with him. He was living such a comfortable life in the Li family, and he was not willing to make his master unhappy over such a small matter and be chased out of the house.
"No, I'm fine! Young Master, I'll go now! "
San Bao responded and ran out hurriedly. He thought to himself, "Isn't it just running? I'll do it!"
.....
Seven hundred and fifty zhang, nine hundred and fifty zhang, one kilometer, two and a half kilometers, three kilometers!
In three hours, the effective distance of the telegraph went from seven hundred and fifty zhang to three kilometers. Xiao Xi's position also went from the side of Drunken Wind Pavilion to outside of An Yi Lane, then to Qinren Lane, and finally to Yongle Lane. She was only a few dozen steps away from the Li family.
Along the way, this beautiful young lady who was carrying a big box attracted the attention of the passersby. Moreover, there were "Di Di ~ Di Di ~ Di Di ~" sounds coming from the box, making the onlookers exclaim in surprise. Although the crowd did not know what the big box was, it did not stop them from watching. Thus, many people followed behind Xiao Xi to watch the show. The crowd became more and more lively. When they arrived at Yongle Lane, Xiao Xi was already surrounded by a circle of people.
Li Zexuan saw this delightful result and his heart was filled with joy. However, San Bao did not feel any joy. At this moment, he was as tired as a dog. He opened his mouth wide and panted heavily. His clothes were drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. His two hands kept fanning himself, but this little amount of energy was of no use. The sweat on his face was still dripping down like rain.
"Young … Young … Young Master! Xiao … Xiao Xi … received … the signal! "
San Bao ran in and said with difficulty.
"Good! Haha! It's three miles now! San Bao, let Xiao Xi walk another hundred feet away! Eh, San Bao, what's wrong with you? "
When San Bao heard Li Zexuan's words, his eyes rolled and he was about to faint. Li Zexuan reacted quickly and lifted him up and asked.
"Young … Young Master! San Bao … can't run … "
"Alright, San Bao, don't say anymore. It's my negligence. Sit here and rest for a while. I'll get someone to call a doctor for you!"
Li Zexuan had already woken up from the excitement of the telegraph machine. He thought to himself, 'It's not good to be too immersed in something. This is called Qi Deviation!'
"Xiaosi, Xiaosi! Come here! "
Li Zexuan came to the front yard of the workshop and waved at Song Xiaosi.
"Coming, Young Master. You called for me?"
Song Xiaosi hurriedly ran over and asked.
"San Bao is overheated. Bring a few people and send him to a shady place to cool him down. Also, get a doctor to take a look at him! Don't let him get a heatstroke! "
"Yes, Young Master! I'll go right now! "
"Hey! Wait, send someone to drive my carriage and go to Yong Le Lane to find Xiao Xi. Tell her to stop for now and bring her back to rest and eat! "
San Bao was already so tired. Xiao Xi, a weak girl, was still working under the sun. She should be even more tired, right? Li Zexuan's heart ached when he thought of this. He quickly added.
"Alright! Young Master! "
Song Xiaosi saw that Li Zexuan did not have any other orders. He responded and hurriedly went to make arrangements. He was envious of San Bao. Yes, he was envious. As a servant, he was able to receive such care from the young master of the house. In the entire Tang Dynasty, there was probably no other master who treated his servants so well.
.....
Li Zexuan brought a group of servants back to Drunken Wind Pavilion and ordered them to carry San Bao to a shady place beside the pond in the workshop.
"Go get some well water to feed San Bao!"
Li Zexuan pointed to a servant beside him and ordered.
"Yes, Young Master!"
The servant obeyed and left.
Li Zexuan looked at San Bao, who had a pale face and cracked lips. He felt a little vexed. In his previous life, he had experienced a similar situation. Back then, one of the leaders of the research team would give you a task. It was considered light if you ran your legs off. You might even have to work overtime or even be criticized.
This was the common saying, "The leader moves his mouth and the subordinate runs his legs"!
Some colleges and universities were really bureaucratic. Li Zexuan hated this kind of phenomenon very much in his previous life. However, he didn't expect that he would unintentionally do something that he had always hated. He really shouldn't have done it!
"Why isn't the doctor here yet?"
Li Zexuan frowned and asked.
"Young Master, Brother Xiaosi has already gone to get the doctor. He should be here soon!"
The manservant from before came over with a bowl of cold well water and answered.
"Alright! Feed him water first! "
