Ren Baqian's reaction made the empress very happy. She looked up at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "Do you really want to go with me?"
"Of course!" Ren Baqian immediately said, "Even if it's just playing background music, it's still good to watch Your Majesty's heroic posture from behind."
If things went badly for him, he could still escape with the empress.
However, he definitely couldn't say this out loud.
The empress smiled with a warm look on her face.
This was the happiest sentence she had heard all day.
However, he still refused. "Salt is also an important matter. It doesn't matter if you're in the army or not. However, you're the only one who can handle the salt."
"Actually, I can do a lot of things in the military." Ren Baqian laughed.
The empress shook her head slightly and said, "Salt is an important matter. It's enough for the winged cavalry to follow me. Moreover, there are also 15,000 fierce soldiers from the Protectorate of the Center. "
Seeing that the empress had made up her mind, Ren Baqian didn't say anything else and asked, "Your Majesty, when are you going to depart?"
"The detailed battle report should be sent back in three days. The mobilization of the armies of the Protectorate of the Center will also take a few days. We will set out in four days. "
"In that case, I will also set off in four days," Ren Baqian said after thinking for a while.
That night, he returned to Earth and sat on the sofa in a daze for a while. He didn't expect things to change so quickly.
He didn't know how long this war would last or how it would turn out in the end.
He was hesitant about whether he should ask for poison gas from the government.
Putting aside the issue of whether the nation would provide the sarin gas, as long as 600 kilograms of sarin gas were thrown over, the frontline of Great Xia would be wiped out.
But if he did it this time, what about the next time? What about the next time? Would it always be like this in the future? Although it seemed that many fewer people had died and everyone was happy, was such an easy victory really possible? What would the aboriginals become if they did not experience blood and fire?
He felt that he was now standing at a fork in the road of choice, and the outcome of his choice would affect the future development of that world.
If they were to use poison gas to obtain victory, at the very least, he would be able to think of many disadvantages. Compared to human lives, it would have a greater impact on the aboriginals.
Such a war would no longer have much to do with the aboriginals, and he might not necessarily gain any benefits from it. It was also hard to say how the military would view him. After all, the existence of the military had lost most of its value. And the follow-up effects would be much more than that.
For example, how would the ancient race view war? They didn't need blood and fire to achieve victory. In the eyes of the aboriginals, war and human lives had become mere things on paper.
Therefore, it was better not to use this move unless it was absolutely necessary.
What he wanted to do was to promote the technological development of that world and make that world what he and the empress wanted to see.
One of them was the combination of martial arts and technology to walk the path of that world.
Let that world continue to develop according to its own course of war. War could make a nation stronger and able to withstand greater pressure. It could also promote the progress of human civilization. Many things would only change in an environment like war.
If they didn't use poison gas to turn the war into a joke, the army would have no meaning to exist. How would they fight wars in the future? He could just throw the bottle.
Of course, there was another important point. If he really poisoned hundreds of thousands of people to death, he would probably be surrounded and annihilated. For all she knew, dozens of demon-slaying and devil-subduing groups of righteous people would jump out to kill the boss. If there were people at the level of the top ten experts, even the empress wouldn't be able to protect herself. After all, the impact of poisoning hundreds of thousands of frontline soldiers was too great. It was far from comparable to the previous incident.
When he understood this point, he felt that he had already detached himself from the dispute between the two countries. Instead, he was using a pair of hands to support the progress of that world.
He was like the king of the world.
Ren Baqian looked out of the window with a desolate face and hummed, "How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible, standing alone at the peak with the cold wind blowing continuously. Who can understand my loneliness …"
"Your mother is calling! Your mother is calling! " Ren Baqian, who was feeling infinitely inflated, heard this ringtone and immediately felt like a deflated balloon. He picked up the phone and said meekly, "Mom, what can I do for you?"
"Your mom is going to celebrate her 50th birthday. Do you think you should bring your girlfriend back?"
Ren Baqian was speechless.
Let's not talk about when he would be 50 years old. How could he talk about a birthday? The people in that world were already beaten until their brains were out. Why did he still want to hold a 50th birthday celebration? He even wanted the empress to participate? She was busy killing people now!
"Mom, your 50th birthday is a big event. When is it? I will definitely go back to congratulate you and give you a birthday gift to make you proud, "Ren Baqian immediately said in high spirits. Regardless of what he thought, he had to express his attitude.
"Are you my biological daughter?" Mama Ren looked doubtful on the other end of the phone. "You don't even know when my birthday is?"
"I've been busy recently and got confused. Haha, I will definitely go back when it is." Ren Baqian laughed.
After hanging up the phone, he sent a WeChat message to Ren Wannian, "When is mom's birthday?"
After that, he sat there in a daze. After thinking for a while, he gave Shen Feng a call. She was the assistant he hired previously.
"Boss!" A voice that gave people a very hard feeling came over.
Just by listening to the voice, you definitely wouldn't think that she was a woman.
Of course, even if you met her face to face, you wouldn't be able to tell.
Ren Baqian suspected that even if he stripped her naked, he wouldn't be able to tell.
"Is there anything that can allow long-distance communication without satellites, networks, base stations, and electricity? The further the better," Ren Baqian asked.
"Radio stations," Shen Feng answered straightforwardly.
"Can that thing work?" Ren Baqian was surprised. He always thought that this thing required a base station.
"Our country's military started using it more than 80 years ago. Didn't you see radio stations used in movies about that era?" Shen Feng was slightly surprised.
Ren Baqian thought about it. It seemed that there was such a thing, but he had forgotten about it a long time ago.
"Doesn't it use electricity?"
"At that time, it was hand-cranked and someone cranked it by the side. Now, it's not so troublesome. Solar batteries are enough," Shen Feng explained simply.
When Ren Baqian heard this, he felt that he had seen a scene where a person cranked their hands to generate electricity and a person used a radio station to send messages. "Oh, what's the communication range of this thing?"
"It depends on the power output and the environment. Generally speaking, it's 15 to 20 watts. In cities, where the electromagnetic environment is more complicated, it's only a few kilometers to a few dozen kilometers. If the electromagnetic environment is good, it can reach hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. "
Ren Baqian was delighted when he heard this. The electromagnetic environment in that world was definitely good. If he had known about this, he would have used it long ago instead of waiting until now.
What was war about? It was about information. With this thing, unless it was like Xiong Yue, who was ambushed and killed, most people would be able to react in time.
Furthermore, the mobilization of troops, support, pincer attack, encirclement, etc., could be done smoothly and without any mistakes.
As long as the scouts found out about Great Xia's military situation, Dayao would be able to respond at any time and make all kinds of preparations.
"Give me 40 sets. Not too big and easy to operate. The longer the transmission distance, the better," Ren Baqian immediately said.
A few days later, he brought a pile of boxes back to Dayao with a happy look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have brought back good stuff." Ren Baqian came to Yangxin Palace Hall with a face full of joy. Behind him were a few guards carrying a few boxes.
"Oh? What is it? "The empress was curious when she saw that he was a little excited.
"A 100-watt short-wave radio station. It can communicate within a range of 1,000 kilometers or even more. No matter where Your Majesty is, I will be able to contact you. Similarly, even if Your Majesty is in Ping City, the officials in Lan City will also be able to contact you. Furthermore, a fully charged battery can be used continuously for 36 hours … "Ren Baqian talked non-stop about the knowledge that he had crammed for the past two days.
After hearing what Ren Baqian said, the empress's face lit up. This thing was indeed very useful.
With this, no matter when or where something happened, she would be able to know immediately.
In this world, the radio station was considered a divine artifact.
"How many did you bring?"
"15 sets." Ren Baqian said, "Leave one in Lan City, one for me, one for Your Majesty, one for each of the five protectorates. As for the remaining seven sets, Your Majesty can arrange them as you wish. As for the remaining 25 sets, I will bring back 15 sets the next time I go back. As for the remaining 10 sets, I will probably have to go to the mountains to bring them back. At that time, the guards will also send them back to the city. "
This thing only weighed about five kilograms. However, with the addition of batteries, solar panels, and the like, they wouldn't be able to bring too many at once.
