The most impressive figures Fang Er encountered among those he met after transmigrating to the Great Tang were Li Tai and Yuan Tiangang.
These two were like the class representatives for physics and chemistry, respectively.
With just a little guidance, they could surprise you endlessly.
To put it in the words of later generations, their lives were like cheat codes – no explanation needed.
Take this radio assembly blueprint in front of him, for instance. Li Tai had clearly marked the function of each component.
The disassembled parts Fang Er had given him earlier came from different appliances, so their models and sizes weren't uniform.
But this was no problem for Li Tai. The diagram indicated what model could be substituted for each part.
It could be said that with this diagram, any student who graduated from Fang Family Village Academy could assemble a radio by following it.
"My Lord, what is this thing made of? How does connecting them allow sound to travel a thousand li?"
Ge Luoyang held a component, looking curiously at the assembled radio before him.
"This thing seems simple, but it can't be explained in a word or two. If you want to know, ask the Prince of Wei to explain it to you properly at the academy when you have time."
Fang Er replied casually, inserting a battery into the radio. Seeing the indicator light turn on, he nodded with satisfaction.
Joking aside, when it came to radios, Li Tai was now the grand ancestor of the Great Tang. He had merely thrown a book at him.
If he were to truly explain this, he'd expose his ignorance in minutes.
Seeing Ge Luoyang put down the capacitor and reach for a diode, preparing to speak again, Fang Er quickly pointed at the radio on the table.
"Go out and call a few people. Take them and deliver these to Marshal Yue. Also, bring him a case of the walkie-talkies from inside the room."
"Oh~" Ge Luoyang reluctantly put down the diode and walked out, looking back repeatedly.
Fang Er laughed and scolded, "Look at you! I'll give you half a month off later. Go be Prince Wei's assistant!"
"Ah, thank you, my Lord!" Ge Luoyang was overjoyed and eagerly ran out to call for people.
Outside Lin'an Prefecture, at the Left Guard Army camp, it had now been handed over to Yue Family Army's use.
In the training grounds, soldiers from various units were intensifying their preparations for battle, practicing tactics and formations, their shouts reaching the sky.
Yue Fei and other generals were familiarizing themselves with the performance of the AKs at the shooting range.
The sounds of loading, cocking, and firing were incessant.
"Hahahaha~ Marshal Yue, with these things, the Jin people's Iron Cavalry is a joke!"
"Tutu-tutu-tutu~~"
Zhang Xian laughed heartily and then squeezed the trigger, aiming at the target in front of him.
In the hands of these sturdy men, the recoil of the AK47 was practically a joke.
They had only been exposed to AKs for ten days, and now they could hit fist-sized targets at a hundred meters.
And this was even in automatic fire!
"Report~~~"
"Reporting to Marshal Yue, Duke An is sending people with more things!"
A personal guard ran over from a distance and knelt to report to everyone.
Yue Fei's face lit up with joy. He had already experienced the power of these firearms and was eager and curious to see what things would be delivered this time.
He placed his gun back on the table and said to the others, "Let's go meet them!"
Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, Niu Gao, and others followed him, walking towards the outside of the camp.
They hadn't gone far when they saw two carriages approaching. Ge Luoyang was leading the way.
"Greetings, General Ge!"
Yue Fei stepped forward and cupped his fist in greeting, his attitude very courteous.
Ge Luoyang took two steps forward, stood ramrod straight, and returned the salute with the military courtesy of the Tianhuo Army.
"Torch Special Forces, Ge Luoyang, dispatched to deliver radio equipment. Please have Marshal Yue sign for it!"
Saying this, he pulled out a list from his pocket.
Eight radio sets.
Sixty-four No. 1 batteries.
One hundred walkie-talkies.
Twenty solar chargers.
This was all that was on the list. After reading it, Yue Fei asked in confusion.
"General Ge, can you explain what these are?"
Saluting was military protocol. After going through the motions, Ge Luoyang's demeanor changed, and he pointed smugly at the items on the carriage.
"Hehe, Marshal Yue, don't rush. Let me put on a show first~"
"Ah, no, let me build up some suspense first~"
Hearing this, Niu Gao turned to Zhang Xian and said, "Brother, why do I feel this fellow is even less reliable than Old Niu?"
Ge Luoyang: .......
It was just a slip of the tongue. Was that reason enough to criticize me like this?
If I don't show you what a divine artifact is, you won't be convinced, will you?
"Marshal Yue, esteemed generals, my Lord says that military operations cannot do without intelligence transmission!"
"The battlefield situation changes every second. Anticipating the enemy is the key to victory."
"I presume you are still using scouts to relay messages?"
Niu Gao was straightforward. His eyes widened as he retorted, "What else can we use if not scouts? Carrier pigeons? When marching and camping, we don't stay in one place. Once discovered by enemy scouts, it's just a matter of two arrows. That thing is even less reliable!"
"Hahahaha~ General Niu is so humorous~"
Ge Luoyang burst into laughter and walked to the carriage, taking two walkie-talkies from it. He turned them on, adjusted the frequency, and handed one to Yue Fei.
At the same time, he pressed the transmit button on the other walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Come, come, let me show you what divine realm artifacts are!"
Yue Fei was astonished to find that the small black box in his hand also emitted sound at the same time, with the exact same words he had just spoken!
"Hiss~~ This thing is amazing!"
"Hehe~ General Niu, how about it? Is this thing of mine more reliable than scouts and carrier pigeons?" Ge Luoyang boasted smugly to Niu Gao.
"This is impossible~ Let me see if there's a mynah bird hidden inside."
Niu Gao took the walkie-talkie from Yue Fei and shook it vigorously by his ear with a serious expression.
Finding no movement inside, he did something that Yue Fei didn't even have time to stop.
He opened his mouth wide, shoved the walkie-talkie in, and bit down hard with his jaws.
With his powerful teeth, capable of eating chickens without spitting out the bones, the casing of the walkie-talkie instantly shattered.
Tragedy struck at that very moment. A flash of fire appeared with an explosion.
"Bang!"
"Oooooh~~~~"
Niu Gao immediately threw the walkie-talkie away, clutching his mouth and screaming.
"Holy crap!"
Ge Luoyang was completely taken aback by this unexpected action, stunned on the spot.
"Old Niu~ How did your mouth get blown up like that~"
Zhang Xian immediately rushed over, prying Niu Gao's hands apart. "Come, let me see if it's damaged!"
"Ah~"
"Ah ah~~ Oh~~"
"Oh~"
Niu Gao's face was contorted in pain, blood flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and he had even lost two teeth.
His originally dark complexion was made even darker by the blast, pitch black, like a laborer who had just escaped from a coal mine.
In the blink of an eye, his lips had swollen to resemble two sausages, turned outwards, looking extremely comical.
Even so, this was due to the angle. Most of the force of the battery explosion had dissipated outwards. If it had all exploded in his mouth, the consequences would have been far more serious than this.
