Mage? Spell Engineer!

Rorschach discovered that the magic guild's mobility was indeed impressive. After confirming that it could operate, a wired telegraph network began to be set up in the kingdom, and the speed was astonishingly fast.

In one month's time, all the telegraph lines from Valluana to the surrounding neighboring regions have been connected. However, they can only rely on the magic guild, because except for the royal power plant, all the electricity in other areas is provided by lightning magic. , reporting rooms and exchange stations are all located in the guild branch.

Some of the staff who report rooms are drawn from the operators of the teleportation array system. They train new operators to do the work of sending, receiving and forwarding.

Similar to the messaging system, if a telegram message wants to cross nodes, it needs to be switched and forwarded from line 1 to line 2.

At the beginning of the trial operation, the telegram exchange was full of errors. The double debuffs of immature technology and unskilled personnel caused a disaster when the line scale improved slightly.

"They couldn't solve the problem, so they turned to us again!" Snow was a little distressed. In his opinion, this was not a problem at all. He just needed to recruit more people and work together for a period of time to straighten it out.

Rorschach felt that Master Snow's thinking was too simple: "Human energy is limited, and the teleportation array system is a physical object. The relay person only needs to forward it according to the address on the envelope. Now the telegram still needs someone to record the message and resend it. It's very difficult." It’s easy to make mistakes in these two aspects.”

"Then set up redundancy? Send it one more time." This is a typical thinking of Li Dazhuangfei. You can't send it twice once.

Finally Rorschach found inspiration in the research building.

On this day, Simon was using the mechanical analysis machine to process and calculate data. After the apprentice pressed the joystick, the machine spit out a hole-punched paper tape. Simon recorded the results of the intermediate calculations and then put this piece of paper tape as input into the second computer. The machine performs the next step of calculation.

"that's it!"

In order to improve the accuracy of exchanges, a semi-automatic telegraph exchange system was developed: in the relay office, messages waiting for transfer will be converted into punched holes on the paper tape. The operator does not need to manually record and resend the message, only the corresponding Just tear off the piece of paper tape and put it into the relay machine to complete the transfer. The emergence of punched paper tape greatly improved accuracy and efficiency.

In short, the current telegraph is more like a vassal of the communication circle system in the magic guild. With the new communication method, all non-mage and apprentice business will be transferred to the telegraph.

Then businessmen who were in urgent need of transmitting business news soon discovered that the former charging based on distance and weight was changed to charging based on distance and number of words, and each word started as a silver coin. In the past, sending a letter was about filling as many words as possible on as light a piece of paper as possible, but now it is about condensing all the meaning into a few words.

When the line reached the autonomous region along the coast, Rorschach also received a message from Mr. Pierre: "Byrne, telegram?"

Rorschach's understanding was to ask whether the telegraph could be introduced to the Byrne Kingdom. However, he did not know whether Mr. Pierre was asking whether a telegraph could be set up in Byrne, or whether he wanted to build a line connecting the two kingdoms.

"It's not up to you and me to decide whether this matter can be done. It's a very important matter, and I'm afraid the magic guild will take the lead. If it's just laid in Bain, it will be successful with the approval of the Bain royal family, and it doesn't even need to rely on the magic guild." Within the empire. There is one advantage over the Holy Kingdom - you can ask dwarves for help instead of relying on the magic guild. Dwarves who are good at creating French style and have the tradition of "electromagnetic jumping masters" can be called professional counterparts to participate in the construction of telegraphs.

After writing the letter, he walked out of the research building. The sun was fierce, but Rorschach still put on his hood. In the hot summer, Rorschach is very cool. Now his mage robe is unattractive. It looks strange lavender on the outside and has complicated patterns on the inside.

It's not that Rorschach is wearing it backwards, but the inner lining is sewn with enchanted gold threads to form a magic circuit, which solidifies the [Elemental Resistance] and [Ice Touch] spells. The former always operates to resist the heat wave of Valluana's summer. The latter can be used by the wearing mage to actively input magic power to achieve instant cooling. The weather at this time was as pleasant as spring for Rorschach.

The Magic Guild Building was once again crowded due to the telegraph business. The merchants waiting at the door saw that there were still people fully armed in the summer. There were only three possibilities - heretics, psychos and mages from the Kingdom of Sand. In short, they are all characters who cannot be trifled with, so those blocking the door consciously give way.

"Send a letter."

"Okay, the registration room is on the right."

"No, send it through the teleportation array."

Rorschach showed his badge, and was immediately greeted with a smile by the receptionist. Others who were waiting in line in the lobby to take telegrams cast envious glances.

Rorschach did not consider the word count and wrote a few pages to Mr. Pierre in a eloquent manner. If he had used a telegram, he would have lost a lot of money.

The letter also reminded Pierre Neusingen to pay attention to the election of representatives to the three-level conference in the region: "You or your nephew can run for election. Don't worry about being a migrant. At most, you can send warmth to every village, and Local people who are famous and have charisma should be dealt with. If the Neusingen family doesn't want to come to the stage, it might as well sponsor a guy who hopes to become a representative. This conference must not be underestimated."

Luo Xia remembered that in her previous life, the village in her hometown chose a boss, and he would just send some rice, flour, grain and oil from door to door. If it was not enough, he would just give him a cigarette. Although Mr. Pierre is a businessman, after all, there has not been a three-level meeting in hundreds of years. Rorschach couldn't help but remind him that public opinion also has a price.

When the letters came out, the number of people inside and outside the guild remained unabated. Even though they were sweating from the sun, these people all had important news to send to somewhere in the kingdom via telegram.

The carriages of these telegraphers were parked on the roadside, making the originally wide road a little crowded.

"The telegraph office needs to be independent as soon as possible." Rorschach doubted whether there were really so many urgent messages to be sent out. It is very likely that some of the long queues were caused by the mentality of the Varuvan people who like to follow the trend and try new things. .

"If you have any grievances, please come and appeal! Uphold justice and do not be afraid of power!"

At one end of the road came a strange carriage, which was modified to pull goods. The shed of the carriage was torn down, and there was a lawyer standing on it. His thick wool curly wig was like a smoldering stove, but the lawyer persisted. Shouted and repeated slogans were "bombed" to passers-by through tin speakers.

There were also two of his companions standing on the cart, one of whom was waving a flag with a golden scale drawn on it, surrounded by irises, but the scale's pillars were replaced by rods - the symbol of the King's Supreme Court.

No, the "King's Order" can be removed. The third companion spread leaflets, and Rorschach used [Mage's Hand] to take a picture from the air. The first sentence was "The King mistakenly issued the King's Order to dissolve the Supreme Court." , but the fair judgment of the Holy Kingdom will not be absent due to someone’s will!”

The justices who should have been fired by Charles XVI actually organized mobile courts in the satellite city of Valuauna. Lawyers in the royal capital spontaneously encouraged people to file lawsuits in mobile courts.

This is a complete break with Charles XVI! Luo Xia looked at the flyer and did not expect that this time there would be such a hard-nosed person among the nobles in robes.
