Roland explained to Andre for a long time, and his mouth was dry.
"Mr.
Andre, I asked you to design a magic broadcast system that covers the whole country, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye, how is this research progressing now?"
The Far East has spread a network of newspapers and periodicals throughout the country's towns and villages, and the publishing industry has taken advantage of this trend to usher in an opportunity for development, using newspapers and periodicals as the carrier to extend its tentacles to all parts of the country, and the new news that happened in the capital Krasbourg can be spread throughout the country within a week with the help of newspapers and periodicals, and many local publications have sprung up in various towns and cities across the country, enriching the spiritual needs of the people and promoting literacy education, as the Far Easterners often say, "the press has made our country smaller."
However, Roland was not satisfied.
In his opinion, the efficiency of "newspapers and periodicals" as a medium for disseminating information is not high enough, and the reaction speed is not fast enough, and it is inevitable that some information will be lost in the process of dissemination, not to mention that there are still about sixty percent of the people in the Far East who are illiterate and cannot obtain information through newspapers and books.
Roland wanted to establish a communication network parallel to the news and newspapers, faster, more convenient, fidelity, and more closely related to people's daily life, and the illiterate people could still learn about news and current affairs through this channel.
There is no systematic electromagnetic theory in the world of Varess, and Roland is from a liberal arts background after all, even if he has the heart to bring the wisdom of Faraday and Maxwell to this world, he can do nothing, so he can only use local materials and rely on magic to replace radio technology to realize the dream of broadcasting communications.
"There are no difficulties in the technology of magic broadcasting, the problem is that we must provide a carrier for broadcasting, after you reminded us, we tried to load the audio clips on the spell network, and the result was miraculous, the spell network can indeed be used to transmit information, not only including voice and text, if time to make a breakthrough in research, it is also possible to transmit sound and picture simultaneously."
Simultaneous transmission of sound and picture became a TV signal, and Roland was pleasantly surprised.
"Since there has been a breakthrough in research, why are you still hiding this good news from me?"
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, in fact, there is still a problem that has not yet been solved."
Andre touched his bald head and smiled bitterly, "The spell network can indeed transmit the broadcast, but the receiver must first access the spell network to listen to the broadcast, which means that the listener must be the caster, but what you want is a radio network for ordinary people in the Far East, we can't wait for the people of the whole country to learn to cast spells before promoting the magic channel."
"This is indeed a problem," Roland muttered, "Is there a way for ordinary people to access the spell network?"
Andrei nodded slightly: "We are engaged in research in this area, and preliminary results have been achieved, if you wait patiently, I estimate that we will be able to come up with a feasible plan before the New Year." ” "If your research is successfully completed and applied to ordinary people, will the cost be very high" Compared with the results in the research, Roland is more concerned about whether it is suitable for promotion and application.
Andre hesitated for a moment, and replied after thinking: "Our idea is to design a card-type magic guide, which can enable the holder to temporarily simulate the mage profession after activation, although it is only equivalent to a level 0 mage, and it can't even do a trick, after all, it can be regarded as having the identity of a mage, so that he can contact the magic network and listen to the magic guide radio As for the cost of this identity card, no matter how compressed it is, it will not be less than 500 gold talers, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it." ” Roland sighed secretly, as expected.
"Mr.
Andre, your research idea is very valuable, but unfortunately this kind of networking card is too expensive to promote to the public, we might as well try another idea, such as making a magic guide, which can automatically connect to the spell network after activation, search for the broadcast signal on the network through the mediation knob and automatically play it, do you think it is feasible" Roland's idea is actually imitating the "radio" on the earth.
"This idea is a bit interesting" Andre was deeply inspired, stroked his bald head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "I can try it, the idea should be feasible, but there is a problem, this kind of magic guide that can automatically listen to the sound may be more expensive than the network card, or it cannot be marketed to the public" Roland smiled and shook his head, "Mr.
Andre, a network card can only be used by one person, but a magic radio can be shared by the whole family and even the whole village, as long as it is equipped with a loudspeaker, the broadcast broadcast is spread all over the neighborhood, since it is a common commodity for families and even villages, of course, you can use the method of equal sharing of benefits when purchasing, even if the cost is more expensive, you don't have to worry about sales, do you say this is the truth?"
Andre's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stared at Roland for a long time before sighing.
"I really can't see through how your brain grows, it's a ghost idea with a roll of your eyes, but it's a pity that you're not interested in studying arcane, and you've wasted a brilliant mind."
Roland was secretly ashamed.
He knows very well that he is not as smart as Andre thinks, and the reason why he seems to have more ways is due to the hidden identity of "traverser".
As a legendary archmage, Andre is much more intelligent than him, but his vision is limited by his living environment, and he is not like Roland, who can think from the perspective of another civilized world, and he can't help but be surprised by his wild imagination.
But on the other hand, Roland can only come up with good ideas, but he is not able to put them into practice, and André can draw inferences from Roland's inspiration and quickly turn a good idea into a perfect design solution, which is precisely the embodiment of his intellectual superiority.
Since the magic guide broadcast needs to borrow Beacon Mountain's spell network as a carrier, Roland can't help but be curious, and tentatively asks Andre about Beacon Mountain's top secret.
"Mr.
Andre, I've heard Nikita talk about the spell network in Beacon Hill for a long time, and I've seen her connect to the network to borrow spell bits, but I don't know anything about how this system works, but I vaguely guessed that the spell network is similar to a kind of maze with a wider coverage, I don't know if I'm right."
Andre put away his smile, his face became extremely serious, as if he was hesitating about something, and it took a long time to make up his mind to reveal the mystery to Roland with "telepathy"
