The carriage traveled on the smooth and broad road leading to First Town, without a hint of bumpiness. Through the car window, the construction level of East African roads left the members of the Far East delegation wide-eyed in amazement.
Li Ge asked Vickers, who was sent by the First Town government to receive them, "Mr. Vickers, what are those wires hanging on the wooden poles along the road?"
Since Vickers was Austrian, their communication required Aryan for translation.
Aryan: "Those are communication wires; they can connect the city of Dar es Salaam with First Town."
Li Ge: "Communication? Just relying on those two wires?"
Aryan: "Yes, that's the charm of science. If I were to explain it to you, you might not understand, but all you need to know is that with these cables, news from Europe can reach East Africa in a day."
