Extraordinary Sailing

The extraordinary lighthouse is still bright, but the dawn of technology seems to have stepped on the switch suddenly and hard, throwing light and heat to the entire material world overnight.

St. Irvine, Long Island.

Da da da.

Under the giant bat-wing-like receiving antenna built of steel, a desk-like machine accompanied by flashing lights, spit out a piece of white paper with writing on it driven by electricity.

A [electrical engineer] carefully picked up the paper and showed it to his companion.

I saw it said:

"In the 196th year of the Haiyuan calendar, in winter, on December 30th, the weather in Bekele City was fine.

Hey guys, anyone craving Black Forest ham at Green's on Central Avenue tonight? Pre-order now! "

"Hahaha, it's done!"

"After three times of debugging, the communication across the Black Sea has finally succeeded!"

"Oh—! Hooray!"

A group of [Electrical Engineers] and wizards who did not get much help from Ivan cheered in unison, especially the [Electrical Engineers] who participated in this project.

Because this is the first time in history that mortals do not use extraordinary power or props to realize instant communication across the Black Sea, which is of great significance.

Maybe it won't be long before some of them will be promoted to the second-order official transcendent one after another.

Like the last radio broadcast, the receiving end of the information is still on Long Island, but the transmitting end of the signal has changed from Yuanfan collar at the southernmost tip of the Principality to the transmission tower at St. James's Palace in Phalatis on the other side of the Black Sea. .

Because regardless of signal quality, talking about the transmission distance of electromagnetic waves is all hooliganism.

Due to the harsh astronomical conditions over the Black Sea, it is almost impossible to directly transmit sound signals with the technology that has just started, and even the conversion will be accompanied by a lot of noise.

But when Aiwen provided the [electrical engineers] with a general idea, they creatively used current "on-off" and "length" instead of language for transmission, and called it "Garriot code".

At the same time, the first telegraph machine invented by the "School of Mechanical Immortality" came out, which could directly translate and print this "electric code" into the alphabetic language of Tulip's lingua franca according to specific rules.

This fully automatic "telegraph" proved to be more reliable than direct voice transmission.

Although it is much simpler than [hyacinth] and [psychic network], everyone is deeply fascinated by this kind of technological power that does not depend on the extraordinary at all.

Aiwen has registered a patent for this technology in the alliance: "Electric pulse and signal transmission technology and required equipment".

At the same time, it also took over the 76 branches of "Light of Alchemy" that were established by the "School of Alchemy" all over the world over the past few decades.

Get ready to set off the frenzy of the "Electrical Revolution" throughout the physical world (Chapter 807).

Even the power infrastructure in mainland countries is extremely backward, not even the simplest power equipment.

But as long as others see the huge energy generated by the application of "electricity", the flow of capital, talents, and technology will naturally "vote with their feet".

All supporting facilities will immediately keep up.

Even the lowland republics and the Palme d'Or Federation are the same. It is the nature of human beings and [capital] to seek profit. As long as they can make money, political positions and national opposition are nothing more than a piece of toilet paper.

The small banquet hall of White Swan Castle.

The New Year is approaching soon, and the banquets in White Swan Castle are also frequent.

At this moment, the Duchess Olivia is hosting a small family banquet that only a few female third-order transcendents or female family members in the principality participate in.

Anita, Angie, Saila, Clarissa, Leonara, Aunt Davely, Jasmine who has successfully advanced to the third level [Tide Hunter], and Milan's wife Apusuya are all listed.

The long table in front of everyone was already filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Enchanted bison tenderloin with foie gras in oil, caviar seafood platter, creamy chicken crispy box, rich Cobb salad, tomahawk steak overflowing with charred aroma, roasted lobster with roasted garlic and milky cheese

There is also self-brewed red wine to accompany the meal, which has been cellared for many years and tastes pure and beautiful.

However, their attention was not entirely on the wine and food, but was more attracted by the exquisite radio carved and inlaid with gold beside it, like a vertical clock.

According to the company's naming rules that have always been taken from various myths, the new company that mainly produces various electrical equipment was named "Traloc Electric Company" by Ivan.

The luxurious radio they manufactured regardless of cost was naturally sent to White Swan Castle immediately.

When the time came to 6:30 in the evening, the night spirit maid turned on the pure gold knob, and the scheduled radio program started with a piece of beautiful music.

ding ding dong dong

"Moonlight" played by Nymph and Olivia has apparently become a regular track on the Principality's first radio station "Voice of Garriott".

Then a sweet voice sounded:

"Good evening, dear listeners! This is the 'Voice of Garriott' who will meet you every day, and the summary of the broadcast is below.

Under the wise leadership of His Majesty St. Irwin, our 244 settlements in the 'Mount Elbert' were inaugurated;

The Black Sea-Broken Star Sea railway project has completed its mid-term task."

"Voice of Garriott" is operated by the newly established General Broadcasting Bureau, under the direct leadership of the cabinet, and is also the most authoritative official media station in the Principality. It started trial operation three days ago.

So far, although there are only a few dozen users, most of whom are military and political officials of the principality, the response has been very good.

Especially Angie, Saila, Clarissa, and Leonara who just returned, although the exploration into the "Broken Sea of ​​Stars" only lasted for a few months.

But in this short period of time, I feel that I can no longer keep up with the changes in the world.

In fact, it is not only the Garriott Principality that is undergoing profound changes.

The time is advanced two hours, separated by the "Golden Sea" and the "World Bridge" Palme d'Or Federation.

beep--!

Accompanied by the sound of a long siren, a steamer slowly approached the port and completed the maiden voyage of its new route.

Money is the vane, and the "Eye of Wealth" who is not far behind is obviously catching up with Tulip.

For example, now, they have established the world's first regular shipping line.

Connecting the former Viceroyalty of La Plata with the capital city of Camside, the date of arrival and departure of the ship is announced in advance, and the error will never exceed half a day.

A well-dressed gentleman stood on the pier with outstretched arms and loudly announced to the crowd:

"Our new line is already a 'sea railway' to replace the 'inseparable, irritating, unreliable, and punctual' of the age of sail!"

As long as there is sufficient logistical supplies, the steamship can keep running, perfectly overcoming the dilemma that sailing sailing depends entirely on the weather.

A "middle-aged man" wearing a black formal suit and a top hat, who looked like an ordinary bank employee, murmured:

"There are so many smart people in the world."

Driven by interests, a large amount of capital in the dawn of science and technology has been transformed into scientific research or commercial applications.

Due to its location, the "Lowland Republic" is surrounded by strong neighbors. The neighboring country on the road is Cyrus, who is sharpening his sword, and across the sea is the new overlord "Tulip Alliance".

Moreover, the country is small and underpopulated, and the focus of industry and capital has begun to shift to the Palme d'Or Federation with a population of more than 40 million. The lowlands have gradually transformed into a "democratic" bridgehead on the old continent.

After the "Golden Palm Alliance" received a large amount of technical and financial support, its development speed naturally increased by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, the conspiracy of the bankers from the very beginning of the country was gradually revealed.

In the federal state "Palme d'Or Federation" formed by 27 member states (states), each state enjoys a high degree of autonomy.

A strong central government is not in the interests of "Eye of Wealth", and certainly not in the interests of [capital].

In the past few years, the bankers have only used a few simple means, and some leaders of the joined countries (states) have changed very smoothly.

The "Eye of Wealth" has now gained power in several of the most critical areas of the country, such as diplomacy, national defense, and currency issuance, and has become a true uncrowned king.

Especially the right to issue currency (banknotes).

Although the currency was re-engraved, banknotes named "Reais" were printed.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the essence is changed, not the medicine, not to mention that there is also a shining "Eye of Fortune" emblem on the back.

The 40 million citizens on the vast territory are already obediently lying in their leek fields. As for whether there will be risks in a country with this system, it is not within their scope of consideration.

Obviously, when the capital grows to a certain scale, it will get carried away and assume power and offside, and finally covet public power, which will cause harm to society.

This is the theorem of this world!

A very simple comparison, didn't the emperors and officials of the Great Song Dynasty know the consequences of "emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts" in system design?

From their point of view, it is natural to choose that the throne (family) should come before the country, and there should be a small family before the country.

You can only talk about other things if you let the capitalists have enough to eat.

The "middle-aged man" who watched the steamboat on the pier for a while straightened his top hat, turned around and merged into the crowd with his cane in hand, and after two steps, he had completely merged into it like a drop of water.

"In such a troublesome place, I have to do it myself."
