Chapter 209 Chapter 207: Trouble at the Door (Monthly Ticket 1100 plus more)
"Magic telegraph?"
Douglas chewed on these five words, his confusion growing thicker. "What the hell is this? How come I've never heard of it?"
Luo Yi organized his words before saying, "Douglas, don't you think the current imperial communication methods are still a bit simple and slow?"
"How do you say this?"
"To put it bluntly, the Empire's current means of long-distance communication are simply communication magic circles and letter writing.
The principle behind this communication magic circle is the miniaturization of spatial distortion. Although it has been optimized significantly over the years, its cost remains high."
"None of the magical materials needed are cheap."
"So, I wondered if there was a more convenient and cheaper way to communicate, and then I thought of using magic power to communicate!"
"Using magic power to communicate?"
Douglas was even more puzzled: "Magic energy can also transmit messages, how come I don't know?"
"This is an idea that suddenly popped into my mind when you improved the magic hammer forging machine and upgraded the rotary button.
Since the magic power in that button can be disconnected and connected, does that mean I can use it to transmit information?"
As Luo Yi said this, he took out another piece of paper and began to write and draw, explaining his ideas in detail.
To put it simply, the principle of the telegraph is the application of electromagnetic induction and coding transmission technology.
Magical energy naturally has no electromagnetic induction, but by disconnecting and connecting it to form different combinations, it can also be used to express different letters, numbers and punctuation marks.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to use Morse code for communication, so that he could create a new communication tool.
Of course, Roy had to admit that this was a bit far-fetched.
But thinking about the telephone and mobile phone he used in his previous life, he felt that he still had to plant a seed.
Douglas stared at the drawing with a frown on his face, and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, he said, "This doesn't seem to meet the requirements you just mentioned. Moreover, even if it is truly invented, it has many limitations."
"You're right!"
"Then why do you mention it?"
"Maybe I just think titles like 'Father of Industrial Communications' and 'Opening a New Communication Model' are a bit intimidating, right?"
"Is that so?"
Douglas tried hard to understand what Roy said, but in the end, he shook his head and said, "When I have time, I will try it, including the life-like machinery you mentioned.
However, for now, I still want to focus on the Mana Excavator."
"Then let's go for the excavator. This one is also very good, with a bright future and a huge market."
Douglas rolled his eyes and said, "Drawings! Do you really have to explain it so clearly?"
Luo Yi also rolled his eyes: "You are leaving tomorrow, how can I draw it in one night?
Even if I copied without sleep, there wouldn't be enough time!"
Douglas smiled awkwardly: "Then I will go back first and go to Auckland City with Master Mennon to build the communication magic circle.
When the time comes, when we contact each other again, please send the drawings over to me."
"I'll try it first, and if we encounter any problems, we can communicate."
"Of course!"
Having said that, Luo Yi gave him the letter he had written and asked him to take it to his friends.
After finishing all this, they talked a lot, about magic machinery, about the flower collar, about their respective situations, about business...
They talked a lot that night, but time always passes and dawn always comes.
Loy sent off another friend and watched the boat sail away on the Ruhr River.
This is the second time in such a short time.
Fortunately, Luo Yi had a lot of things to do, so he could divert his attention quickly.
It will still take some time for those professionals from the empire to arrive, but Luo Yi still has a lot to do.
The first thing is naturally the recruitment and training of personnel.
The most important thing in the industrialization process is people, not just a large number of skilled workers, but also a variety of high-quality talents.
Luo Yi has none of these!
Therefore, he must be trained as soon as possible.
Before, Carl Raymond wanted to follow the example of the Empire and directly smash the existing system, and then select talents through the magic academy on the ruins.
However, even a powerful lion king cannot remain unscathed after betraying his class!
Luo Yi naturally would not follow his old path, and his method was to mobilize the idle people in society first.
The population of Flower Territory is not small, although the Raymond family has not made specific statistics.
But there are millions.
After all, this is a grain-producing area, and the Raymond family's internal rule is not too strict. Naturally, there is no need to urge them to reproduce!
There are no extra entertainment activities at night, so naturally, the couple has to exercise more. As the number of pregnancies increases, the number of children will also increase.
Seriously speaking, the population of Flower Country has long exceeded the number of jobs required.
The result is that a job, a stable job that can support a family, is not easy to find.
This situation is naturally even more serious in Brussels, the heart of the Flower Territory.
Luo Yi's idea was to gather these people together, give them a job, and let them work and learn behind the scenes.
Of course, the emperor would not dismantle soldiers who died of starvation, and Luo Yi was not that kind of black-hearted boss.
Therefore, the salary he set was not low, at least a little more than the income of ordinary craftsmen in Brussels.
Just this little bit is enough to attract all people of the right age to rush in and squeeze in.
Some nobles were even willing to send their second sons over.
Of course, Luo Yi was not afraid of anyone who came and accepted them all. As for who would stay in the end, it depended on their academic performance and personal diligence.
As for the teachers, they were of course the ones brought by Luo Yi.
A magical mechanic apprentice, a backbone railway worker, and a potion master apprentice.
There are a total of thirty people, which is a little small, but it is enough as teachers.
Of course, the shortcomings of these people are actually very obvious. Most of them are uneducated and illiterate!
Workers, screwing, it seems that anyone can do it, but in fact there are many things to pay attention to.
If you don't even know how to read and don't have much knowledge, it will be difficult to become a qualified worker.
Therefore, most of the people here are just skilled workers in the end.
In addition, the Raymond family also has a talent pool, which is the slaves trained in various ways around the family.
Most of them are literate, polite and ambitious. If they are given a chance, they will work hard to climb up.
Luo Yi selected a lot of people and threw them into the training camp, so that the first batch of candidates consisted of as many as 300 people.
At this time, teachers seemed scarce, and as a result, within two days, ten more people were gone.
The reason is simple. Loy’s first factory has already opened.
Of course, the magic energy machinery factory is not that fast, and the construction of the factory takes time, but the preparation of the secret medicine does not require the involvement of magic energy!
Therefore, once the channels for raw materials were opened, the pharmaceutical company affiliated with Loy was opened.
Among the ten alchemist apprentices, Luo Yi selected one to be the team leader, and he brought fifty apprentices with him, who were the entire staff of the secret medicine factory.
After the initial adjustment period, the first batch of soul-fixing spice was soon produced.
Then, the speed got faster and faster!
The more soul-fixing spices there are, the better. Whether you use them yourself or sell them to the Habsburg Empire, you will never have to worry about sales.
So, Luo Yi simply posted another recruitment notice.
This time, he is specifically recruiting pharmacists or potion makers. He wants anyone who has experience and certain abilities.
Then, when the news spread throughout Flower Territory, the staff expanded threefold in just one month.
There are two official potion masters alone, and as many as twenty pharmacists.
After the production scale was expanded threefold, the Duchy of Normandy actually experienced a shortage of raw materials.
In order to give the potion apprentices something to do, Roy even took out the Roy Fitz Warrior Secret Potion and prepared to sell it as his flagship product.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Flower Territory has so many potion masters is thanks to Ms. Palacios.
This person, in addition to being a fourth-level water disaster wizard, is also a skilled potion master.
Many of the Raymond family's high-level potions were made by her, especially some needed for cultivation.
This is the reason why the Raymond family has more powerful people than the four marquises.
Ms. Palacios has her own wizard tower on the Silver Sea. Although she doesn't actively cultivate people, over the years, she has helped countless people embark on the path of potion master.
That’s how the two official potion masters came to be!
Of course, this is all in the past.
Let's get back to the topic. When the Soul-Fixing Spices and Warriors' Secret Medicine were produced one after another, and when the Empire's workers arrived in Brussels and began to build the magic power factory, it also meant that Loy's "Flower Territory Development Plan" officially began!
Unfortunately, nothing in this world goes smoothly forever.
Trouble always comes unexpectedly.
However, Luo Yi never expected that this time, it was the church that was causing trouble for him.
With the exception of the Habsburg Empire, the faith of the Old World is all attributed to the Great Lord of Light, the Eternal Sun God.
Here’s the extra chapter! I’m so sleepy!
