Early in the morning, Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing had breakfast together and left. Both of them were busy people, so they did things in a straightforward manner. Being together was purely a combination of interests and also to solve their physiological needs. After listening to Xu Bing talking about the progress of various projects in the Revolutionary Army last night, he remembered that he also had a technical development task to complete — efficient communication.
The bigger the territory, the higher the communication requirements.
The slow pace of life in ancient society was due to the slow speed of communication and transportation. Ancient countries often divided their troops to guard the frontier because they relied on shouting for communication and walking for transportation. There was no way to immediately gather troops to counterattack when the enemy invaded. In history, when Nurhachi attacked Fushun, Liaodong's commander-in-chief Zhang Chengyin spent five days to gather the troops around Shenyang to counterattack.
The Revolutionary Army's current foundation was weak, so it was extremely restrained against the expansion of the army that was completely released from production. Zhou Qingfeng chose to spend a lot of money to train the elite soldiers. The total cost was actually more cost-effective than raising a large number of miscellaneous soldiers. However, this method forced him to take the initiative to fight, be flexible, respond quickly, and deploy before the enemy. The capture of Tianjin was the result of this guiding ideology.
But in the future, the territory would only get bigger. How to avoid the management institutions and military forces falling into the circle of inefficient and overstaffed needed good communication. Otherwise, the loss and cost would be great if he waited for trouble to appear and solve it.
Zhou Qingfeng came out of Xu Bing's residence. He did not go to the recruit training center outside the city, but turned into another house. Wen Ruolan lived there. She was soft-tempered and never fought with anyone for anything. Even when Zhou Qingfeng doted on her, she would only stay at home and wait silently. She did not fight for anything. The more relaxed Zhou Qingfeng felt around her, the more he liked to come.
When Xu Bing led the team to Tianjin, Wen Ruolan handed over all the administrative work at hand. Zhou Qingfeng's invention was actually throwing a lot of information to this genius level girl to lead the team to research. He did not care about it at all. Sister Wen gathered more and more high-end talents, and it slowly evolved into the Scientific Academy of the Revolutionary Army.
Wen Ruolan never asked where these incredible technologies came from. Every time she read, she would gain a lot from it. She would be happy and would praise Zhou Qingfeng, who had provided the information, saying, "My husband is really smart, my husband was born knowing, my husband has a lot of wisdom, my husband was born a god."
This was how Zhou Qingfeng's thick skin was praised.
Every time this happened, Ye Erniang, who lived with Wen Ruolan, would curl her lips and say, "He is not the one doing the work. Why should he be praised? He only knows how to work. " Wen Ruolan didn't know where Mother Ye had learned this pun from. Every time she heard it, Wen Ruolan would blush and chase after her.
Zhou Qingfeng entered the courtyard and saw that Wen Ruolan was arranging people to set up a few pottery jars. The air was suffused with a strong sour smell that was extremely pungent. As soon as he saw this, he knew that they were making a 'volt battery'.
Wen Ruolan mixed in a group of craftsmen and continued to command them. She only stopped after two to four hours. She saw Zhou Qingfeng behind her and said with grievance, "My husband, I'm so stupid. I can't make this battery well. This book says that I need strong acid, but I can't make strong acid, and ordinary acid is useless. Also, the lead plate, copper plate, zinc plate and so on are not easy to make. "
"It's okay, it's okay. Sister has worked hard." Zhou Qingfeng patted Wen Ruolan's back. This woman's cultivation was obviously very high, but in front of him, she was as weak as a cat. "It's not easy to make this battery. There are many key points, and many breakthroughs are needed. Even if it's done, there are still many technical difficulties to overcome. I know that I can't rush it for a while. "
According to the book, the spark transmitter was super simple. But in fact, it was a long technological route. Just a battery required a considerable level of chemical industry — three acids and two alkali, any one of them was a huge technological advance. Wen Ruolan could not rely on herself to quickly climb over these obstacles.
This required the overall progress of the scientific research system and the industrial system.
If they could not make a practical battery, there was no hope of wireless and electricity. If they wanted to quickly communicate, they could only go back to the old way and directly send a physical message. The best way was to directly mass-produce the triplane. But Wen Ruolan also rejected this way — the difficulty of making the gale array on the triplane was extremely high, and it would take a lot of time and money to copy.
Finally, there was no other way. Zhou Qingfeng thought about whether he could make a highly intelligent puppet bird like the 'Flat Hair'. This technical direction was not easy, but there was a possibility of success.
Looking at his sister frowning, Zhou Qingfeng felt sorry for her. She thought too much every day and did not sleep well. Wen Ruolan took his hand and went into another puppet testing yard. She smiled happily and said, "My husband loves me. I like the days when I can learn new knowledge every day. It's just that I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on nothing, so I'm upset. "
"What's tens of thousands of taels of silver? The development of science and technology requires hundreds of millions of taels of wealth, which is driven by a smart brain. It's easy to have wealth, but it's not easy to have a smart brain like my Ruolan. You can spend as much money as you want, train more talents, and let others do the work. My husband is very stupid, so I can only make money for my sister. "
Zhou Qingfeng was exaggerating, but it was the truth. Wen Ruolan's heart was as sweet as honey, and she smiled charmingly. She was petite, had fair skin, and when she smiled, she looked like a weak willow in the wind. Every time Zhou Qingfeng saw her, he could not help but approach her. Wen Ruolan would panic every time, and she would push him away and say, "Husband, can we come again at night? It's too embarrassing during the day. "
"I just want to kiss you."
"I don't believe you. You always say that, and you always come to bully me. "
"There's no one else here. What are you afraid of?"
"The second niangzi will come."
"That girl is much better now. She has good eyesight, knows when to advance and retreat, and knows how to serve people. She has seen the scene of us having sex several times. Why should I be afraid of her? Next time, ask her to help me push my butt and play the trumpet. It must be fun. "
"You're really talking nonsense. What 'butt' and 'trumpet'? You really have no filter, and you're like a scoundrel. You don't look like a ruler at all. If I say no, then no. That girl is obedient in front of you. But every time she sees me, I'm embarrassed to death by her afterwards. "
One wanted it, and the other did not. While they were pushing and shoving each other, a clear cough suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard. Wen Ruolan took the opportunity to tidy up her messy clothes and hid to the side. Zhou Qingfeng looked back and saw Ye Erniang coming in from the outside with a box in her hands. She respectfully saluted and said, "Welcome, Grand Marshal. Do you want to listen to my work report?"
In the past, Ye Erniang's mouth was very poisonous. Now that she restrained herself, it made Zhou Qingfeng feel very uncomfortable. Especially when she was with Wen Ruolan, this feeling of disharmony was the strongest. Zhou Qingfeng looked at her respectful appearance and felt uncomfortable. He even wanted to discuss with her, "I say, Second Niang, you'd better speak the way you used to speak. You're so formal that I feel nervous. "
"Really?"
"Really."
Ye Erniang also held it in for a long time. Her shoulders relaxed as if she was relieved of a heavy burden. She took a deep breath and said, "Alas, if I came half a quarter of an hour later, I would be able to see you two rolling around like meat worms."
"Hiss …" These words made Zhou Qingfeng feel suffocated. He gritted his teeth for a long time and pointed his finger at the girl. After a long time, he let out a breath and said, "Okay, this is the taste. In the future, I'll allow you to mock me occasionally. Tell me, what work do you have to report? "
"Me? Recently, I've been helping sister Xu Bing with the legal provisions. There's nothing else. " Ye Erniang put the box in her hand on the big table in the courtyard, "I just came to deliver something on the way. I'll leave immediately. You two continue to roll around like meat worms. "
Currently, the internal law of the 'Revolutionary Army' was' Administrative Punishment Management Regulations'. It was simple and easy to implement, suitable for civil disputes. But with the increasing population, it was necessary to come up with a set of criminal laws. It was definitely impossible to copy the laws of the later generations. It had to be simplified according to the current social structure. The complexity of this matter was no less than Wen Ruolan's technological advancement. It was quite tricky.
After Ye Erniang left, Wen Ruolan rearranged her clothes. She pouted and glanced at Zhou Qingfeng with dissatisfaction. Then she opened the box given by Ye Erniang. Inside was a falcon with folded wings. This falcon was made of wood. Its belly could be opened, and each wing could be disassembled. It was extremely exquisite.
Zhou Qingfeng opened his Third Eye and saw a large number of spiritual lines engraved on the falcon. It seemed that there was a spell formation on it. He then asked, "Sister, did you make a copy of the puppet 'Flat Hair'?"
"The soul of 'Flat Hair' is special. It should be the soul of a strange beast collected by cultivator Guo Da. This thing can only be found by chance. I can't get it. " Wen Ruolan chuckled and shook her head. She found a black ball with a chaotic appearance in the experimental courtyard and gently put it into the falcon puppet. Then she injected spiritual power to activate it. The puppet began to move mechanically. It was very sluggish and far less flexible than 'Flat Hair'.
Wen Ruolan continued, "You sent the ghost cultivator Jia Gang to my side. I studied him for a while. Husband, do you still remember the Ghost King Pill that you refined? Not long ago, I asked you to refine it specifically to strengthen Jia Gang's soul. Then, I separated a few divine thoughts from his soul. "
Zhou Qingfeng was shocked. He stared at the clumsy falcon puppet and said, "Was that Jia Gang?"
"It's just his divine thoughts. Ghost cultivators can communicate with their souls through the connection between their divine thoughts and souls. They can also transmit messages from thousands of miles away. This is the ability of ghost cultivators to control corpses and ghosts. The more powerful the ghost cultivator, the farther the distance they can control.
When the time comes, as long as Jia Gang is by our side, we can send these falcon puppets to other places and we can transmit messages in real time. "Wen Ruolan said happily. She stretched out her hand and held Zhou Qingfeng's arm, waiting to be praised.
Zhou Qingfeng, on the other hand, stared dumbfoundedly at the falcon puppet and exclaimed, "Brother Jia?"
"I'm here." The reply came from outside the courtyard. A skeleton wearing a hooded robe walked in. He looked at the falcon puppet on the table. After carefully observing it, he said, "This thing needs to be carefully carved. Otherwise, it won't be very flexible and easy to use."
The skeleton-like Jia Gang looked back at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "I can only separate five divine thoughts at most. Including my main body, I can only build connections in six places. In the future, if the Grand Marshal's territory gets bigger, I won't be able to help. "
A little guilt flashed through Zhou Qingfeng's mind, followed by thoughts of secrecy, theft, kidnapping, betrayal, and so on. Although he didn't understand, he said, "Okay, okay. Thank you, Brother Jia. From now on, Brother Jia will shoulder the heavy responsibility of our Revolutionary Army's long-distance secret communication. "
Jia Gang coldly grunted and then turned into black smoke and left.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly pulled Wen Ruolan and asked, "Is this technology reliable? If that Jia guy betrays us, we will suffer a lot. "
Wen Ruolan was usually delicate and weak. But when asked about this topic, she smiled slyly and said, "Don't worry, my husband. We can't be careless with such an important matter. I've recently learned about the principle of secret communication. Jia Gang is only responsible for sending messages, but the messages are encrypted. He is at most a human radio. Besides, Ruolan has a backup plan. I can guarantee that the Master of Paleness will be obedient. "
