The donkey seemed to have adapted well to the new place. It probably ate better.
Compared to the donkey, the yak looked more listless.
They also had a pool and a shed. The shed was ventilated, and the yak liked to stay under the shed.
"Can yaks be raised?" Li Dan knew about yaks. She had seen someone bring them to Chang 'an and then they died.
"Can't be raised in large quantities. They can only be raised in zoos. The cost is high. Let's show them to people who have never seen a yak before."
Li Yi shook his head. If they could be raised, they would have been raised long ago.
"There are animals we haven't seen before in other places, right?" Yao Chong, who was paying attention to Tubo wild donkeys for the first time, asked.
"We'll bring them back when we go out." Li Yi understood what Yao Chong meant.
"Let's go over there and see the animals on the grassland in the north," Li Longji said.
…
The telegraphed team arrived at the Heavenly Troops in the north an hour ago.
They were not fast. They needed to find a suitable place to set up a relay station and leave some people behind.
Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Zhiyun, and Wang Han waited beside a telegraph machine.
It was the first time they had seen and heard of such a thing.
"It takes 15 minutes to send a message to Chang 'an now?" Zhang Zhiyun found it hard to believe.
"The speed depends on how fast the receiver forwards the message. The more the message, the harder it is to forward it."
The Winged Knights in charge of this was called Guan Yujin. He was nervous and had been memorizing the message all the way.
Now, another telegraph machine was placed a thousand steps away. He was ready to test if it was as magical as he had said.
"Done!" Guan Yujin looked at Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang Zhiyun.
Wang Han was ignored. He was just a Jinshi. His family had some power here.
Jinshi was worthless. How could a Jinshi stop the Winged Knights?
"Mutton for lunch," Zhang Jiazhen thought for a while and said.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap … Guan Yujin tapped on the clock and soon finished.
About two minutes later, someone rode over and shouted, "Zhang Jiedu said we'll have mutton for lunch."
"Yay ~!" Many soldiers cheered when they heard this and shared the good news with the others.
Zhang Jiazhen: "…"
"I … Fine! Let's eat mutton. Telegrams are really good stuff. Let's try a few more times. Let the other side talk, no, let them talk to each other. "
Zhang Jiazhen gritted her teeth. At such a happy moment, eating sheep was not enough. Wasn't there Wang Han beside them?
The two telegrams were connected, and the sound of ticking could be heard.
Both sides wrote down their words on a piece of paper and compared them to make sure they did not miss a single word.
"Aiyo! Oh my God! How did it do that? "
Zhang Zhiyun walked around the telegraph machine, trying to figure out how it transmitted messages.
"Even if you go to a faraway place, you can still send messages to your family. Is this for sale?" Wang Han wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare to.
After asking the question, he realized something and smiled awkwardly, "I'm talking about paying someone to help deliver the message. For example, if I live in Chang 'an, there is a telegraph in Chang' an, and there is one near my home. Give me the money. How much for one word? "
"Let's wait. There will be more in the future." Guan Yujin saw that Wang Han was reasonable and gave an affirmative answer.
Zhang Jiazhen picked up the enamel cup, took two big gulps, and exhaled deeply, "This is a divine weapon. Together with binoculars, the scouts can report the enemy's every move at any time."
After saying that, he smacked his lips. He was still thirsty and was in a daze.
"The enemy suddenly besieged the city and cut off the communication. If we use a telegraph machine in the city, we can clearly report the enemy's appearance and movements."
Wang Han thought of a situation where the city was besieged and could only send people to break through the siege to deliver the information.
The enemy blocked the messenger from the other side outside the city, and the city was waiting for reinforcements. They needed to know the situation of the reinforcements.
The more time passed, the lower the morale.
If they used a telegraph machine, they could communicate at any time. They could also deceive the enemy and launch a pincer attack.
"Is the telegraph machine easy to copy? If the enemy takes it, will they know about us? "Zhang Zhiyun considered the special situation.
"If there is a possibility of it being taken, destroy it first. This will prevent us from enduring torture in order to not tell the secret.
It's useless for others to get it. They can't make it. It contains a lot of technology. "
Guan Yujin pointed to the bag next to her. Inside the bag was a bag of explosives.
"Can we send a message to Chang 'an?" Zhang Jiazhen wanted to contact Chang' an.
"Yes, we need to add a message to Chang 'an. When we tried just now, the relay station connected to Chang' an already received it, but it didn't continue to transmit."
Guan Yujin nodded and explained the rules of transmission.
"Okay, send it to me. Just say … I, Zhang Jiazhen, have received the telegram. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Jiazhen had obviously taken Guan Yujin's words to heart. She only said ten words, the shorter the better.
Guan Yujin began to operate. In fact, it wasn't just ten words. There were punctuation. The signal was sent out.
The relay station received it and continued to transmit.
In less than five minutes, Li Yi, who was watching the panda, said through the walkie-talkie, "Dongzhu, Zhang Jiazhen, the provincial commander of the Heavenly Army, has received a telegraph machine and sent a message to Chang 'an …"
"Third Brother, how should we reply to Zhang Jiazhen?" Li Yi said to Li Longji, who had already heard what he said.
"Just say that I know, use it well, and keep in touch," Li Longji replied.
In less than five minutes, Guan Yujin received the message and translated it to Zhang Jiazhen.
Zhang Jiazhen continued to drink water. She looked up at the clouds in the sky and gasped for breath. Two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
From the Heavenly Army to Chang 'an, it was so fast that it was unbelievable.
Zhang Zhiyun was also excited. "They can still defeat the war like this? Quick, tell the soldiers the good news. We'll be eating mutton today. "
The soldiers only knew that the Winged Knights had come, but they didn't know what they were doing. Some of them knew, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Now that the news was spread, the soldiers were even crazier. What was mutton? They didn't have to eat mutton, but how could there be something in the world that could transmit news from thousands of miles away?
"In the future, when we discover a large group of enemy troops on the hot air balloon, we can combine with other troops and directly transmit the message. It takes time for horses to run."
"Who made this? It's practically a god. "
"Ba Shui Li Dongzhu! Only he has this ability. Next time, it's my turn. I'll go with the Winged Knights. I want to try. "
"You're just a corporal. Can you transmit news?"
"I can run out and discover the enemy. That way, I can transmit whatever I say."
The soldiers talked excitedly about the telegraph. None of them didn't know the military use of the telegraph.
One by one, the sheep were slaughtered and cooked in a large pot.
Although it was said to be eating mutton, it was actually drinking mutton soup. Everyone just had to taste a little meat.
The entire Heavenly Army was happier than during the festival. It was as if they had won a great battle.
Zhang Zhiyun sent someone to the Hengye Army to tell the good news. The Winged Knights' telegraph team went with him.
There were also troops going to the Xi Tribe and Khitan Tribe. They could communicate with each other at any time.
The other Winged Knights packed their things. After the meal, they would spread out and look for other troops.
Fortunately, they didn't have to search blindly. They just had to follow the scouts.
