The function of beacon is to warn people, so what should be used to send information in bad weather?

When the weather is bad, you can also use semaphores, drums, lights, flying pigeons and other ways to transmit information.

In ancient times, the main way to transmit information was to send messages to others. Do you remember the story of Zhou Youwang smiling at a beautiful woman and playing a vassal in a bonfire in history? The method used at that time was to send information through beacons, which was also the most effective way to transmit military intelligence in ancient times.

There was no electricity in ancient times, and there were not so many lighting facilities at night in modern times, so it was dark at night and it was easy to find the fire. This method is not feasible in modern times. After all, the light is too bright, and it is not obvious where the fire started. Therefore, the way of warning is gradually eliminated.

In ancient times, there was also a way for soldiers to report for duty quickly, which could also resist the influence of bad weather. In ancient times, there was a post station. When you arrive at the station, you can change horses and people, and pass the message like a baton. In ancient times, some fresh fruits were transported to the palace in this way.

In addition, flying pigeons can also pass books. However, flying pigeons are intercepted in the middle, or pigeons die unexpectedly, which is not very safe. After all, homing pigeons also need training. Being able to remember the route is not necessarily a good psychological quality. If it is a timid pigeon, it may be frightened by the war and change its original flight route.

If it is daytime, you can also use semaphore. Because soldiers stationed on the Great Wall in ancient times were usually very close and could see each other. If there is a specific flag, you can send a message by waving it. There was also a precedent of waving a flag to command the army in ancient battlefields, so it should not be difficult to wave a flag to convey information.

In addition, there are ways to convey information through lighting. After all, Zhuge Liang invented the Kongming lantern similar to the beacon tower. They all borrowed the dark environment of ancient times and transmitted information through fireworks and lights.
