Chapter 353: Magic Walkie-Talkie (Subscribe)
After chaos, there is always a period of calm, just like a wounded beast, it will always find a place to lick its wounds.
In the following days, the atmosphere in Auckland was relatively depressed. After all, the great battle that took place in the city still left many people with lingering fears.
However, this did not last long.
Because all the remuneration that Luo Yi promised was paid in full.
Anyone who participated in the encirclement and suppression campaign had a considerable amount of gold,
The injured will receive free medical treatment, and the expenses will be borne by the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group.
All those who died received corresponding compensation, and Luo Yi even gave them a place to work in the Magic Energy Group.
It is worth mentioning that the current Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group has long passed the stage of recruiting anyone.
Even if it remains in an expansionary state, the places available are highly sought after.
Among similar colleges, the Philante School of Magic has developed the best, not because of how good its teachers are or how outstanding its students are.
It is purely because it and the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group have a talent transfer plan, which is equivalent to a disguised entry quota.
This alone makes it very popular among students.
What makes this possible is the Roy Fitz Magic Energy Group's far-higher-than-normal salary and its internal training and promotion mechanism.
Often, employees who leave the group have extremely deep theoretical and practical abilities, and are fiercely sought after by other factories. These are all clear evidence.
In summary, Roy used Gentile and various benefits to calm the public opinion in Auckland and did not create any resentment.
But the problem with the Empire is not easy to solve!
It is said that after the Seventh Legion, the Executive Office, the Mage Tower, and even the Temple of the Seven Gods reported this news, an uproar broke out.
As I said before, biological weapons like "Blood Plague" are too anti-human and everyone is afraid of them!
The specific target of the attack is naturally the vampires.
There is even news that the upper echelons of the empire are planning a major cleanup operation.
There are still some vampires left in the Old World. Although they are hiding deep, it is obviously impossible to say that they have no clues.
It’s just that before, no one wanted to poke this hornet’s nest, but now they jump out to cause trouble, which is intolerable.
Of course, these actually have little to do with the city of Auckland. What has to do with them is the news that the Empire has sent a special envoy!
Even if this incident was mainly caused by the vampires, the city of Auckland would certainly attract the attention of the empire, and sending a special envoy to investigate was only natural.
The empire would never want to see local loss of control and deception, so most of these envoys came with a mission.
In a sense, their power is so great that it is even enough to determine the political landscape of Auckland.
Consul Ned, Colonel Enzo and others were very nervous, fearing that they would be caught.
After all, no one is perfect, and no one can be flawless in their actions. Even if there is nothing to criticize in this matter, what about the others?
Therefore, the attitude of the envoy is very important!
From this perspective, the nervousness of Governor Ned and Colonel Enzo is understandable, because it concerns their positions and future promotions.
Even Roy, who felt that it had little to do with him, still wrote to Miller, asking him to find out.
However, Miller is not in the imperial capital, so even if he wants to find out, it won’t be that fast!
In the past few days, Roy spent most of his time in Douglas's mechanical laboratory, helping him improve the design of the walkie-talkie.
It should be said that the walkie-talkie he designed was relatively primitive, similar to a landline phone.
Moreover, because there is no automatic switch, a switch room is required, and all lines must be connected to this room.
When making a phone call, there is someone here. Determine the person you want to contact and manually connect the two lines.
This way the other party's phone will ring and wait to be answered!
In terms of convenience, it certainly cannot reach the level of instant messaging, but it is faster than writing a letter.
The most important thing is that if scale is achieved, costs will be kept very low.
The traditional magic communication network is not something that individuals can afford to use. When the empire first set up this thing, there were only two or three sets in places like Auckland.
And this is the advantage of the magic walkie-talkie.
Many times, cost-effectiveness is the bottom line!
Roy didn't figure out the problem right away. He started from scratch with Douglas, gradually figuring out his design concepts and technical knowledge in various aspects.
It should be said that even though he did not personally design the machinery, Luo Yi was no longer the newbie he was before.
He has a unique understanding and knowledge of magical machinery.
After figuring out the design principle of the walkie-talkie, Luo Yi felt that there was actually no problem with the whole machine.
Being able to make calls means that it complies with the laws of magic power!
The reason why the sound is full of noise is actually because Douglas does not have a thorough understanding of the knowledge of sound propagation.
The microphone he designed, that is, the magic energy signal transmitted and converted into sound, cannot be better presented after passing through the microphone.
In other words, the reception and amplification parts are the worst!
This question is the simplest part of the entire walkie-talkie. After hearing Roy's judgment, Douglas Hill wanted to slap himself a few times.
Once you understand the problem, the solution will be easy.
By further experimenting and optimizing the design of the microphone and making the sound reception and amplification parts more perfect, the noise will become less and less.
When the seventh improved, clear voice with a unique accent came from the other side of the microphone, Douglas jumped up excitedly.
The mage apprentices under his command also hugged each other with joy.
Of course, their joy may be different.
Douglas saw his bright future, his reputation in the wizarding world, and his place in history.
And, a huge amount of Jintir fell into his pocket.
As for his mage apprentices, it was purely a successful experiment, and they should not suffer any more torture!
It is worth mentioning that Roy prepared two new research directions for Douglas Hill.
First, manual wiring in the switchboard room is still too troublesome.
It is easy to make mistakes and requires 24-hour shifts, which consumes a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
So, the best approach is to design a mechanism for dialing and automatically connecting.
Douglas had actually thought about this, but he did not think of using machinery to solve the problem, but rather using the tower spirit in the traditional wizard tower as the operation center.
This simple soul, similar to "artificial intelligence", is the best helper for mages in experimental research, and is also best at handling these repetitive tasks.
As long as the rules are set and energy is continuously supplied, they can work tirelessly, without emotions, and almost without making mistakes.
The reason why we stop at just ideas is because every tower spirit is activated by a legendary spell.
That is not a level Douglas can reach now, and he has no way to contact such a legendary wizard.
In fact, the current mage towers can only be regarded as defective products, simplified versions,
Because, during the construction, the item of activating the tower spirit was automatically deleted.
There's no way. You can't let a legendary wizard do nothing every day and run around performing legendary activation spells.
Even the imperial royal family doesn’t have that kind of face!
As for the second optimization direction, it is of course the development from wired to wireless, and the step from fixed-line telephones to mobile phones.
Honestly, this was a bit of a big step, but think about it, there was no shortage of means of remote communication in traditional magic.
Therefore, we can learn from it and see if we can combine it with the magic walkie-talkie to develop in the direction of long-distance wireless communication.
Of course, this cannot be accomplished in a short time. Roy just wants to find something for Douglas to do.
In any case, the magic walkie-talkie is a relatively mature machine and can be used when distributed.
However, if we really want to promote it abroad, we will have to face new problems.
The reason is simple. The initial wiring, that is, burying the lapis lazuli, is a huge project.
Not only is it expensive, but you also need to obtain government permission, excavate the road, and lay pipes.
Before seeing the results, I am afraid that few cities will be willing to accept such a large municipal project.
Finally, it was Roy and Douglas who decided to build a prototype in the "New Brussels City" to be built.
Let everyone see the convenience of communication with this phone, so that we can promote it in the future.
As for the new city of Brussels, since it is starting from scratch, it would be much simpler if it was incorporated into the design phase.
However, promotion is promotion and hype is hype, and the two do not conflict.
Douglas is already preparing a paper and will submit it to the largest journal in the wizarding world. It will definitely cause a sensation!
Once he has gained a certain degree of fame, he even plans to take the prototype with him to the capital.
There, there is a mechanical exhibition hall planned and built by the imperial royal family. Countless mechanical inventors with dreams can find sponsors there and gain fame.
There are countless examples of people becoming famous overnight, all of whom started in the Machinery Expo.
Douglas believed that as long as he went, he could definitely write a new legend.
Of course, Luo Yi feels that ideals are good, but reality, let’s talk about it later!
Just after Luo Yi finished these things, the imperial envoy arrived.
However, what no one expected was that the imperial envoy did not go to the Executive Office, nor to the headquarters of the Seventh Mixed Corps.
Instead, head straight to 19 Lombard Street.
Here, Luo Yi met an acquaintance of his.
"Lord Robin Water, why are you here?"
Luo Yi could hardly hide the surprise on his face, while Lord Robin just laughed and said, "Of course I'm here to solve your problem!"
"My Lord, tell me the truth, is this trip for Madam Linda or for building the city?"
Luo Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, actually, both! Both!"
Changing the subject, he asked, "Your Excellency, are you the special envoy sent by the Empire this time?"
The third update is completed. I am very dissatisfied with the update being later than 12 o'clock this time. Tomorrow, it must be earlier!
