Chapter 314: Transcounty communication

Miracle Commerce's Imperial City research facility was mobilized and in just three short days, they had created an ultra wave audio transmitter in Imperial City.

On that day, Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu, the two chairmen, Nangong Yun, Meng Yingying, and the other high level members, as well as Gu Qianqiu, Zhao Pu, and the other old researchers were all gathered in a not too big laboratory.

Gu Qianqiu somewhat impatiently rubbed his hands, "Can we begin now?"

Including Zhao Pu, every single scholar present was feeling very excited. No matter who it was that participated in this significant test, they would be able to bring honour to their family and leave their name in history, so these old scholars were filled with excitement. This opportunity was not something everyone could get, even those scholars from the empires were the same.

Chu Tian looked at the time, "It's about time, begin the test."

Meng Qingwu arrived in front of a new radio.

This radio was currently turned off. Meng Qingwu personally turned it on and static came from it before the sound cleared up. Currently being broadcasted was the content from the Imperial City broadcast station.

"Start changing the frequency!"

Meng Qingwu changed it to a familiar frequency, making the radio release an ear grating static sound as well as vague voices. It was not very clear, meaning the reception was not good. Meng Qingwu was very patient and returned to adjust the frequency.

Suddenly.

The static disappeared.

A pleasant female voice was released from within, "Hello everyone, welcome to Central State's midday news. I am Central State broadcast anchor, Xiao Linger. Today's content is....."

Everyone fell into a daze.

As for what the anchor was saying, they did not hear a single word. They just felt a warm blooded feeling pass through their heads, almost making them faint!

"Ha, ha, ha."

"It really succeeded!"

"We can receive Central State's signal, we can hear the sounds Central State sends out!"

This group of old men went red faced with excitement, Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun happily hugged each other, and even the usually stable Meng Qingwu revealed an emotional faint smile at this moment.

This was really not easy.

Miracle Commerce had been established for half a year now. Although they had made many milestone breaking inventions, they had only taken a single step forward at this moment in making history.

This meant that Miracle Commerce had created the first information network on the continent. Central State was ten thousand miles away from Imperial City, but people could send broadcasts between them. The sound from Central State was released into the air and it received and stabilized in Imperial City!

This cross state broadcast could already be considered a primitive form of communication on the continent!

The million year old ancient and primitive communication method of the continent was broken down in this moment. The entire world would welcome an informational revolution because of Miracle Commerce!

Meng Qingwu asked, "Do you want to announce this immediately?"

"Nonsense! This kind of great matter, how could we not announce it?" Chu Tian slapped the table and said, "Quickly, mobilize the local radio stations and activate all our channels, we must send out this good news!"

"Alright!"

"Miracle Commerce will broadcast transcounty radio stations for free, letting everyone in Imperial City hear the sounds from Central State! Of course, we will also let the people of Central State hear the sounds of the Imperial City stations!"

Chu Tian did not want to hide this breakthrough!

When Miracle Commerce announced their latest achievement, it was not a surprise that the entirety of Imperial City seethed with excitement. Miracle Commerce's radios and Magnetic Recording Devices were sold in large quantities, being sold out in just a single day.

The Southern Summer King was instantly alerted.

The emergence of this radio station had a great significance to consolidating his rule as the king.

The Southern Summer King prepared to journey to Miracle Commerce, wanting to discuss with them. He wanted to make an official kingdom broadcast station that would represent the king, but when he entered Miracle Commerce, he heard another shocking piece of news.

Miracle Commerce had made a communication device that could call people in real time!

Miracle Commerce had long been researching this communication technique and it was no longer a secret within Miracle Commerce, especially the Yun Sect, but this was the first time others were hearing of this.

In that moment, the Southern Summer Country finally realized Miracle Commerce's skills!

When the communication device came out, it had a large significance and wide prospects. If they controlled this one invention well, Miracle Commerce could instantly become a top company on the continent.

"Scholar Chu, scholar Chu, you really are a person good at creating miracles."

The Southern Summer King was looking at Chu Tian like he was looking at a fat piece of meat. If he could even obtain 1% of Chu Tian's wisdom, the Southern Summer King's clan would be stabilized for thousands of years!

For such a super talent to be born in the Southern Summer Country, not only did it make the Southern Summer King very excited, it also gave him a strong headache. This era respected strength and the Southern Summer King could sit on the throne because of the Dongfang Family's strength. If there was a power in the kingdom that was quickly rising, one that could even threaten the Dongfang Family, what should the Southern Summer King do?

Kill them?

This was not the time!

Support them?

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control them in the future.

The Southern Summer King always feared Chu Tian mainly because he was simply too outstanding!

Although Chu Tian was not interested in the throne, the Southern Summer King still felt a lump of envy fill his heart. There was no king that wished for there to be a power that could possibly exceed him in his country. Even if this person did not have ambitions, could he be certain the people on his side or his future generation wouldn't either?

Right now it wasn't important.

The Southern Summer King was anxious to see the results.

He had personally come to Miracle Commerce all to see this miraculous moment.

Miracle Commerce chose to hold the experiment in a little square, with several hundred Miracle Commerce staff and researchers, as well as the Southern Summer King, the Burning Sun Ruler, and the Refined Ruler all coming to watch. Miracle Commerce also used image transferring mirrors to live broadcast the scene to various locations in Imperial City.

"Begin!"

Chu Tian personally walked in front of the communication device and first entered in a serial number. There was a series of buzzing noises that came from the communication device which made the hearts of everyone present fill with anxiety.

Will it succeed?

Could they really communicate in real time?

There was a distance of over ten thousand miles!

There was the vast Four States Lake in between, as well as several thousand miles of mountain ranges!

Before everyone had a chance to think about it some more, the buzzing sound from the communication device disappeared.

A weak static sound came from the speaker before an old voice came from it, "Hello? This is Central State's Yun Sect and this old man is Yun Tianhe. Who are you....."

Chu Tian gave a laugh, "Old Yun, we haven't talked in a long time!"

"Chairman? Why is it you? Have you already finished the communication device in Imperial City this quickly?"

Chu Tian continued chatting with Yun Tianhe. The sound was very clear throughout without any sounds disturbing the transmission which once again shocked everyone.

Everyone stood up to applaud.

The Southern Summer King excitedly stood up and shouted, "Great! This is great! This invention has a great significance to the Southern Summer Country, scholar Chu is a true scholar! Someone come, bring scholar Chu one million gold coins and bestow upon him the title of great scholar!"

A small kingdom like the Southern Summer Kingdom only had the qualification to give one person the title of great scholar.

But who cared about those details at a time like this? With Chu Tian's contributions and inventions, not to mention a great scholar title, even giving him the Country Scholar or Great Country Scholar title was not exaggerated.

From this moment forth, the Southern Summer Country would have two great scholars.

One was the hundred year old Gu Qianqiu.

The other was Chu Tian who was not even twenty years old!

When this news was passed through the kingdom, no one couldn't help being shocked, but no one accused the Southern Summer King of violating the rules. Chu Tian perhaps did not have the fame and prestige Gu Qianqiu had, but everything Miracle Commerce did came from him and this was already enough to grant him the "great scholar" title!

When Chu Tian was becoming famous.

There were people paying attention to everything in the dark.

...........

That night.

There was a special visitor in the Departing Flame Marquis manor.

Since the Departing Flame Marquis' son, Nangong Jian suffered a heavy loss, he had not left his manor the entire time, so no one knew what he had been doing recently. The Burning Sun Ruler and the Southern Summer King had tried placating him many times, but that did not have any use. He still could not let go of this hatred.

The Southern Summer King and the Burning Sun Ruler could do nothing about this.

There were several dim candles lit currently in the Departing Flame Marquis' room. He was wearing a set of red cultivation robes and was currently sitting on a mat with a screen in front of him, making his figure look even more faint. A hoarse voice came out making him seem even more deep and sinister.

"For the Heroic Martial Marquis to come this late, what business do you have with me?"

The visitor was Wang Tianlong.

It was unknown if the Departing Flame Marquis had done it on purpose or not, but once he heard the words Heroic Martial Marquis, Wang Tianlong's eyes filled with hatred. This was supposed to be a glorious title, but now it had become a shame he could not wash off!

Wang Tianlong did not explode, "The Departing Flame Marquis already knows, so why are you still asking?"

The Departing Flame Marquis was silent for five seconds before replying, "For the great scholar Chu Tian?"

Wang Tianlong softly said, "Yes, but not completely for this reason."

The Departing Flame Marquis gave a cold laugh, "What does the Heroic Martial Marquis mean?"

"If you cooperate with me, we don't need to worry about Chu Tian."

"You can leave." The Departing Flame Marquis was not interested, "As long as the ruler lives, the Nangong Family will not move against Chu Tian. This marquis cannot go against the ruler's orders."

Wang Tianlong said with a cold smile, "I do not believe the Departing Flame Marquis can suppress this rage. Think of your son, he was crippled! He will not be able to accept the marquis title in this life. The Departing Flame Marquis line has no successors."

Hu!

A burst of killing intent was released.

The dim candle flame suddenly swayed.

The Departing Flame Marquis' voice became even more hoarse, "This marquis will say it one more time, please leave!"

Wang Tianlong ignored the killing intent, "This is an once in a thousand year chance, the Departing Flame Marquis should not regret giving this chance up."

The Departing Flame Marquis' killing intent became even thicker, "Does the Heroic Martial Marquis not understand human words, or do you wish for this marquis to send you out?"

"Alright, but before I leave, I want to speak of an interesting rumour. This was something I heard on the War Hound Plains and I think many people will be interested in it."

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Tianlong said in a calm voice, "There was a marquis that shook the War Hound Plains ten years ago that had an unparalleled glow. He was invincible and filled people with awe. One day, he was led to the wrong place because of wrong intelligence and was caught by the enemy. After battling for a day and night, his entire army was annihilated."

The light from the candle around them began to sway even stronger as the atmosphere in the room became even heavier.

Wang Tianlong continued speaking with a smile, "That person that provided the false information and who was even a secret informant was the same person. It was the blood related younger brother of that Southern Summer Marquis who because of jealousy caused the death of his own brother."

"Do you believe anyone will believe this?"

"What if the letters between him and the War Hounds Tribe is in my hands?"

The flames from the candles suddenly floated up and formed a small sword, instantly flying across the room. Wang Tianlong stood in the same place as his spirit energy was released and transformed into a flood dragon, swallowing the small sword of flames.

The entire room fell into darkness.

"What are you panicking for?" Wang Tianlong's voice became sinister, "Do you want to silence me by killing me? This indeed is a good method, but the difference in strength between us is not big. If I escaped by chance, the Departing Flame Marquis should carefully think about how to deal with the Burning Sun Ruler and the Southern Summer King."

The dark silence persisted for a long time.

The Departing Flame Marquis' low and deep voice rang out, "How do you want to deal with Chu Tian?"

Wang Tianlong revealed a smile, "I've said it before, it is not just dealing with Chu Tian. Let us have a long talk after this."

Peng!

Countless small flames appeared in the darkness and each one accurately fell onto a candle, once again filling the room with light.
