Chapter 378: Nothing Seems to Happen, Underestimating the Enemy (Ch 378)

“Your Majesty, it seems that we can no longer hide it.”
Guo Baoyi stroked his beard and pointed at the sky with a smile.
“Then the border fortifications arranged by Chen Huaixin are likely to be exposed. If the scouts are dispatched, they will at least bring back intelligence. Such news will naturally alert the enemy in the future.”
“The war is coming early.”
Everyone around was silent upon hearing this.
Ji Qingluo stared at the sky carefully. Through this deduction, she could understand more and more what Chen Huaixin did.
Even though this is an obvious trend, there will still be invisible turning points.
“No, I don’t agree with what the old master said.”
“Perhaps there are many variables in this world. Scouts may not be able to see the truth when gathering intelligence. Even if they report truthfully, it may not attract attention. Even if it attracts attention, I am afraid it will be difficult to directly reason with common sense.”
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Not only the court officials, but also Wang Qianhe, Liu Yuntang, Duke Weiguo and other civil and military officials were looking over here with serious eyes.
This is especially true for Guo Baoyi.
They were all convinced by Ji Qingluo’s words.
For some reason, after watching the changes in the deductions for so long, Ji Qingluo’s way of thinking and doing things became more and more like Chen Huaixin.
The concerns in the other party’s words just now are not without reason.
Chen Huaixin had estimated all the situations in advance, so he was prepared to deal with any emergency.
What Ji Qingluo said was also correct.
Changes in the deduction are happening all the time, so they just have to wait and see.
At least now, Yu State represents the position of Central Plains in any case, and it is absolutely impossible for it to choose to cooperate with the enemy in order to eliminate dissidents as those aristocratic officials think.
…
[Soon, this group of camel caravans, which had prepared everything, passed by the border market.]
【They are crossing this place, and everything is ready. 】
[Not only did they dress up as Western merchants, they also hired guides who could speak Chinese from the Central Plains.]
[Several scouts walked in the team and looked around.]
[“What a high sentry post! Why are they all built on the mountain?”]
[“I observed along the way and no one passed by. It should be just some bluffing trick.”]
[“In the Central Plains, this is called the Empty City Strategy.”]
[“Look, their Great Wall and beacon towers seem to be more solid than before. What are they for?”]
[“It’s hard to say, maybe they have already anticipated that the king would raise an army!”]
[“No, it won’t.”]
[“This information is only known to our royal family and the highest duke law enforcement committee. No one outside knows it.”]
【”yes.”】
[“No, there is a bunker below. Do you see it?”]
[“Indeed, there is indeed a bunker…”]
[“But this is too obvious. Our empire’s iron hoof can easily step over it. It’s just a child’s play.”]
[“It’s ridiculous that the officers and soldiers of Yu Kingdom think they can stop our king’s warriors with these.”]
[“The Yu Kingdom is not as powerful as imagined. It seems to be a false alarm. We can only say that the spies who infiltrated are incompetent. Why don’t we just let them do the execution?”]
[“Hahahaha, well said.”]
[As they chatted and laughed, they soon passed the border checkpoint.]
[The mission of these scouts is to make a circle around the border. ]
[As long as the surveillance work is done, you can go back. ]
[At least for now, it seems that nothing happened. ]
【The changes we see are not worth noting at all. 】
[What should appear in their memory are cannons that can fire from a distance, as well as various unprecedented military projects, and at least an iron fortress on the border like their Rome.]
【Now it seems that their knights can pass through here at will. 】
【It’s totally not worth mentioning.】
【Not just Rome.】
[Parthia and many other vassal states followed. ]
[People came one after another, and the news naturally spread back. ]
【Chang’an City.】
[“Your Majesty, those imperial scouts have already started to move at the border, but they have not left yet. Instead, they are exploring nearby, hoping to find other intelligence about our army.”]
[The Minister of War stood below and reported seriously, with a solemn look on his face.]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the research progress report in his hand.】
【a long time.】
[“No problem.”]
[“Let them search there. One day they will return empty-handed.”]
[“They won’t leave until they find what they want. In that case, let them give up on their own.”]
[The eunuch at the side came to report that Ji Changxi had arrived. ]
[The Minister of War heard this and quickly got up and left.]
[This is the consensus of these court officials, and it is also common sense among the senior management of Yu State.]
[The Queen is here, everyone has to make way. ]
[Everyone knows that during the rebellion, the Queen followed Chen Huaixin and made trouble outside, and even turned the gun against her own people. This status cannot be ignored.]
【”Why are you here?”】
[“The experiment has reached a bottleneck. We can’t find a more suitable material. The internal combustion engine you mentioned before may be difficult to realize.”]
【”don’t worry.”】
【Chen Huaixin looked at Ji Changxi.】
He knew that the progress was too fast.
[It would have taken at least a decade for steam engines and steam-powered machinery to be fully operational, but in less than five years the improved power of steam engines had been used in transportation throughout the country.]
[If you run too fast, you will naturally feel the hardship of the window period. 】
【So now I can study something else. 】
[“Remember the electromagnetic phenomena and conductive materials I mentioned to you before?”]
【”yes.”】
[Ji Changxi lay aside bored, looking at Chen Huaixin lazily.]
[“We have tried all of those, but they have no obvious effect, or they simply cannot be connected. The so-called magnetic pole is difficult to control, and your borrowing of the power of the thunder is of no reference value.”]
【“Magnetism is a very mysterious thing.”】
【Chen Huaixin looked at Ji Changxi. He still had a very important revelation that he had not revealed to the other party.】
[“If you want to master it, you can’t just think about controlling and developing it, you also have to find the rules and find ways to discover its characteristics.”]
[“Those compasses that point south and north rely on basic magnetism, and electromagnetism is part of it. If you want to control these forces, you must delve into them.”]
[“Although lightning is a natural force, its characteristics are the same as basic electromagnetism.”]
【“Don’t worry about the conductive material.”】
[“The foreign ship will be back soon and will soon deliver new supplies. Perhaps there will be discoveries among them.”]
