Chapter 159 Walkie-Talkie

After listening to the anchor's words, the emperors of various dynasties were also thinking about the Qing Dynasty's method.

After all, their dynasty also faced a series of problems caused by royal clansmen, especially the frequent prince rebellions.

Maybe we can learn from the methods of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and downgrading from generation to generation is indeed a good choice.

After all, strictly speaking, the branch that inherits the throne is the direct descendant, while the prince's branch is the descendant.

But if you want to implement it concretely, I’m afraid you still need to think carefully.

The top priority right now is to buy walkie-talkies first!
  Let’s put aside the issue of royal family members for now. After all, this matter is not trivial. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause turmoil in the family and the country.

Compared with the troubles of the royal family members, the emperors of various dynasties were particularly interested in the walkie-talkies that the anchor was about to sell.

Although it is not clear what a walkie-talkie is, based on previous panic buying experience, it may be a later industrial product similar to Polaroids.

After all, the anchor said before when selling Polaroids that the great development of science and technology in later generations has created technological products with various magical functions.

This thing called a walkie-talkie is probably the result of later generations of technology. They are curious about what functions the walkie-talkie has.

"Okay, the anchor has finished answering His Majesty Chongzhen's questions, and now comes our sales session."

"The product the anchor brought to you today is a walkie-talkie. I believe you are very curious about what a walkie-talkie is and what it is used for."

"Before the anchor introduces, let's show everyone the walkie-talkie."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he took the small box next to the table.

Inside the box is a complete set of products, including two mobile phone-sized walkie-talkies and some batteries.

Ancient people from various dynasties watched the anchor slowly remove the packaging, stretching their necks one by one, with curious expressions on everyone's face.

Then everyone saw the anchor unpacking the package, taking out two black things, and pouring out some batteries.

Everyone knows this battery.

When anchors sold Polaroids in the past, there were batteries inside.

Many ancient people wondered, is this strange thing a walkie-talkie?
  Su Chen installed the batteries, then took the two walkie-talkies in his hands to show them to everyone.

"This is a walkie-talkie, two of them come in one set."

"The walkie-talkie has three switch knobs. The one on the left is the volume key switch, which is used to adjust the sound volume."

"The knob in the middle is the FM switch. There are sixteen channels in total. The two walkie-talkies need to be tuned to the same channel to function properly."

"The last one is the talking switch. Press it when you are talking and release it immediately after you finish speaking."

"The anchor will give you a live demonstration of how to use the walkie-talkie."

Su Chen turned on the switches of the two walkie-talkies, adjusted them, and then started speaking to the other walkie-talkie.

"Hey!"

The next moment, a clear voice "Hello" came from another intercom.

"As you can see, the anchor talks to one walkie-talkie, and what he says can be transmitted from another walkie-talkie. How about it? Isn't it amazing?"

Walkie-talkies are nothing to modern people, but they were definitely a subversive impact to the ancients.

After all, wind ears are just magical powers in myths and legends, and now walkie-talkies can achieve this.

Walkie-talkies can make calls without any network support. This huge advantage is very suitable for ancient times and is simply tailor-made for ancient people of various dynasties.

Originally, Su Chen thought that after demonstrating the functions of the walkie-talkie, the live broadcast room would be flooded with barrages.

But to his expectation, there was no barrage.

This made him stunned for a moment. What went wrong? It shouldn't be!

To the ancients, the call function of a walkie-talkie was no less than a magic weapon from the immortal family. How could it be so indifferent?
  After watching the anchor's demonstration, ancient people from various dynasties were confused and did not understand what the anchor was doing.

After the anchor spoke to one walkie-talkie, there was indeed a sound coming from the other walkie-talkie, and everyone heard it clearly.

But then, nothing happened, it seemed to be of no use at all.

The distance between the two walkie-talkies is less than an arm's length.

After the anchor finished speaking, another walkie-talkie came out with the same words, but nothing else.

This walkie-talkie looks pretty useless. Without a walkie-talkie, they can still hear what the anchor says.

Ying Zheng: That’s probably wrong. If that’s the case, then the walkie-talkie is too useless. It’s definitely not that simple.

He believes that the anchor will not sell useless things, and there must be something he has overlooked.

Two walkie-talkies, speak to one, and the sound comes from the other.

boom!
  In an instant, he seemed to understand the usefulness of the walkie-talkie.

When the anchor demonstrated just now, the two walkie-talkies were so close.

If the distance is farther, such as one mile, if two people use a walkie-talkie, wouldn't they be able to hear what the other person says?

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood and grasped the key at once. Ying Zheng was not the only one who thought of this. Many ancient people from various dynasties also began to slowly discover this.

After all, when the anchor demonstrated it at the beginning, he seriously misled everyone, making everyone think that the two walkie-talkies could only be used together.

Now everyone slowly came to their senses. The two walkie-talkies can be used separately to realize the function of transmitting messages.

Li Shimin: Anchor, I would like to ask, what is the maximum distance between two walkie-talkies that can make a conversation?

Li Shimin asked the most critical question at once, and ancient people from all dynasties pricked up their ears.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. When he saw Li Shimin's question, he realized why the live broadcast room was so quiet just now.

It turned out that it was a problem with his demonstration that prevented everyone from seeing the biggest selling point of the walkie-talkie at the first time.

"The anchor would like to introduce to you that two walkie-talkies can communicate normally even if they are up to ten kilometers apart."

As soon as these words came out, ancient people from all dynasties were dumbfounded and horrified in their hearts.

Ten kilometers, this number scared everyone.

Li Shimin took a breath of air and looked shocked when he saw the inconspicuous little thing in the anchor's hand.

He thought that one kilometer was the limit, but he never expected that it would be ten kilometers long.

He knew exactly what ten kilometers meant.

Chang'an City is thirteen kilometers long from north to south and seven kilometers wide from east to west.

In other words, one person holds a walkie-talkie and talks in the center of Chang'an City, and another person holds a walkie-talkie and can hear it no matter where he is in Chang'an City.

In this way, the transmission of information only takes a moment.

Zhu Di: Ten kilometers is really unimaginable to me. My Beijing city is only six kilometers long and five kilometers wide. The communication range of the walkie-talkie can completely cover the entire city of Beijing.

Zhu Di had a look of horror on his face. The function of this walkie-talkie was far beyond his imagination, and it was even more powerful than clairvoyance and ears.

If he had this walkie-talkie, which was comparable to an artifact, he could greatly improve the efficiency of information transmission, whether it was used in the capital or in the army.

Businessmen from all dynasties were breathing heavily, staring at the walkie-talkie in the anchor's hand and salivating.

As businessmen, they naturally know that walkie-talkies are a magical tool when used in business.

The most important thing in doing business is the ability to obtain information.

If you know business information faster than others, then you can make money before others do.

The coverage area of ​​ten kilometers is so wide that it is unimaginable that any big city can be covered easily.

Ying Zheng: Anchor, I can’t wait for when this walkie-talkie will go on sale.

Liu Che: My money is ready, anchor, let’s start!

Li Longji: Anchor, I saw that the walkie-talkie needs batteries. How long can it be used?
  "Don't worry, each set comes with twenty batteries, which is enough for everyone to use it for several years."

Su Chen took this into consideration and asked the merchant to deliver more batteries.

Let's use the walkie-talkie first, and then think of a solution after all the batteries are used up. The system will have been upgraded by then, so there must be a solution.

"The anchor would also like to emphasize to everyone that all walkie-talkies sold today are of the same model."

"In other words, all walkie-talkies can be tuned to the same channel, not just one-to-one, but also many-to-many."

"In addition, there are two walkie-talkies in one set. If you buy 50 sets, you can make calls from Beijing to Nanjing."

Su Chen dropped a bombshell, and ancient people from all dynasties were shocked again after hearing this, even a hundred times more shocked than when they learned that the walkie-talkie could make calls over ten kilometers.

They originally thought that walkie-talkies could only communicate one-on-one. Each set of walkie-talkies was independent and could not be used with other walkie-talkies. Two people could only transmit information within a range of ten kilometers.

It’s unbelievable that all walkie-talkies can be used universally. As long as you buy more walkie-talkies, you can make longer-distance calls.

The distance from Beijing to Nanjing is nearly a thousand kilometers, and it originally took several days to deliver the message.

But now, as long as they are connected through walkie-talkies, the call between the two places can be completed in an instant.

There are inns on the avenue between Beijing and Nanjing. All you need to do is arrange dedicated people at each inn to be responsible for the intercoms, and then the transfer of information between the two places can be done instantly.

Liu Che: If I install walkie-talkies along the way from the border to Chang'an, wouldn't I be able to know the situation of the Huns on the border at any time?

Thinking of this, his face flushed with excitement and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Obtain the Huns' intelligence as soon as possible and formulate countermeasures as quickly as possible.

As a result, the Han's advantage over the Huns greatly increased.

Not only Emperor Liu Che thought of this, but other emperors of various dynasties also thought of the military use of walkie-talkies.

At the same time, many emperors thought further. If they purchased enough walkie-talkies and placed them all over the country, the imperial court's rule over all parts of the country would be greatly enhanced.

"There are two walkie-talkies in one set. Today the host has prepared one million sets for everyone. The maximum sales limit is one hundred sets per person, and each set is priced at one hundred taels of silver."

"Walkie-talkie, three, two, one, link up!"
