I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1917 Military Advancement

Sound the alarms, sound the alarms! This was the first thought of several who first spotted the tiny dots fast approaching. But soon, they recalled the orders given to them. Sound travels incredulously by air, especially when they're so close to the seas. Ringing the bells should be the last signal given only when the enemy is already so close and there is great urgency to warm everyone. Very quickly, one of them slid down the treehouse post and ran towards another pole note too far away, where he then flicked the switch on and off severally. They used light to communicate. 5 flicks mean enemy attacks! They were to continue flicking like so until the next set of treehouse people took note. But that's not all. One would think that the gun idea of using cans and things to talk was something only kids could do, but you would be wrong. The idea was gotten from people who graduated from Baymardian schools before they came of age. It's said that while in school, there was a day his Majesty Landon appeared, introducing them to the wonderful world of science. What is science? Many of them rubbed their hands and hairs severally, and could create a strange spark called static. Again, they also found that if they used a rope to connect two empty tins, they could communicate in an unbelievable way. (*?*)

Sure, it wasn't as great as using Baymardian landlines, but do you know how many people jumped in disbelief when seeing it for themselves? How can this be? What was the reasoning behind this why connecting 2 cans and a string can pass on information? Right there and then, several people on Zalipnia gathered, pushing Project Tin Phone to the top. It was funny to see many Zalipnians researchers now called themselves [scientists], as they tested many possibilities concerning Project: Tin Phone. And after a series of winding, weaving and testing, they perfected the perfect thickness of the rope suitable to carry sound. .

Here's what they found. A too thin rope, though it works, was likely to snap. They needed rope that was akin to power lines that would stay in place. They also found that the rope needs to be stretched and straight for any sound to travel through. Thus, they pinned several 'wires' of their very own women and tested ropes, using Baymard's superior threads to make it a possibility. And as one person rushed to turn on the light signal, another person was quick to learn towards the 3 Tin cans positioned on the wall like a phone, with the open end facing his mouth. After training in Baymard, they also understood the importance of code names. "This is Predator 010. The animals are out! I repeat, the animals are out… all tens and thousands soft them!" What? The animals are out? In Tens and thousands? F***! Several people almost fell out of their seats, feeling raw panic and dread fueling their intestines for only a split second. One second, they were laughing together in the treehouse, and another, they were rushing to prepare for battle. Who's heart wouldn't be pumping out of their chests by now? After getting the swift news, they channel the same words to the other tins in their treehouse. Like a tree having roots, the top treehouses send news down and they in turn also send news down and down until those below get words and make preparations. The vice versa was also true of news to be sent for those in treehouses at the very top. Many looked at the tin cans positioned on the walls with gratitude. 'Thank you, Baymard… and long live his majesty Landon.' (:T^T:)

Before this, one needed to run and spend a long time getting news around. But now, although their communications were not top notch as Baymard's, it was still way faster than riding on a horse or running on foot to get the news around. You would be amazed that although this Tin Can method wasn't public, the Zalipnians military was using it quite well. After the news traveled down, someone then ran towards the closest military post site by the docks. The newly built barrack post stayed hidden behind a hill, out of plain sight. And once the military got the news, they then used the tin cans hidden in their barracks to transfer the news out to the many barracks and influential forces within the coastal city. Heh. Do you know how much time and effort it took to get the entire city rigged with these tin can ropes? Of course, they had to hide the 'wires' so that enemy's don't try anything funny. Understand that sound vibrations are passed along the strings from the speaker can to the receiving can. When the receiver Tin Can vibrates, it creates vibrations in the air once again and you can hear the other person's voice! However, it's also important to note that even with all the testing and development, the distance these tin cans can carry sounds to be limited. That's why to make up for this, they built several more barracks and temporary building posts that will receive the news and pass the message along. It took a lot of time and effort to do this, but communication in today's world was key, and was also one of the reasons one could turn the tides of war favorably. If this was Baymard, everyone would have known about the threat in less than 5 minutes while using walkie talkies and landlines. But out here, everyone knew about the threat for 30 minutes or so which was incredible.

Note that before, people on horseback could rise for 1~3 hours to pass word along. And by the time those deep in the city got the news, the enemies had already landed on the shores and killed many of their men. The city lord and several forces rose up from their slumber, rushing gallantly towards the shores. Of course, they had also sent news back through the cans, to the barrack units closest to the shores. [Tarantula Formation! Stay low and stay
