The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Chapter 269: The First Phone Call From Another World

Appleyard continued on stage: "On the basis of this design, combined with the improvement of the spiritual path cycle, we can definitely increase the efficiency of the steam-powered engine to the limit. From this perspective, this technology is at least worthwhile. 6 contribution value."

"But in my opinion, what is more important is the transformation of this kingdom. The development brought about by technology will have a long-term impact on this country. The promotion of mechanical theory will also allow more people to join the ranks of creators."

"This is a hidden change. Let me remind everyone that what we are pursuing is not more powerful destructive power, but trying to make this kingdom better. In this regard, Newcomen's design has obviously achieved the ultimate."

"Okay, let's go on."

After explaining a few words briefly, Appleyard waved his hand, but his words caused more people to think deeply, because a few simple words revealed an important message.

Apprayalde was not opposed to the development of the mechanical school.

"Let's look at the second design submitted by Mr. Newcomen," the researcher continued.

"Mr. Newcomen called it a... telephone?"

He raised his head and saw the doubts of everyone in the field, "According to Mr. Newcomen's description, this is a communication technology that can achieve real-time communication within a certain range through fixed lines."

"Isn't this the same research direction as Mr. Milos?" someone asked.

"It's different." Newcomen took the initiative to stand up and explain to everyone, "By laying lines and equipping machines, this new technology can get in touch with any place in Abetus at a designated location, and it doesn't rely on the rune master the power of."

"Not only that, even ordinary people without extraordinary power can use this machine, and there are no hidden dangers, and it will not bring about any spiritual changes!"

"What?!" Newcomen's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Apart from many creators of the contract, there were also some nobles and senior officials of the kingdom who were watching the promotion.

The creators present here are more concerned about the application and inspiration of spiritual power in this new technology, but those nobles know better than anyone how terrible changes real-time communication can bring to this kingdom.

Unlike the steam engine just now, the improvement and development of the machine may take some time, but once this thing is put into use, the changes brought about by laying the line are obvious.

"Let me demonstrate it to everyone." Newcomen glanced at Sigmund, who walked to the stage holding a sealed black box. For today's meeting, they laid two new lines overnight .

Opening the box, Sigmund showed everyone a crude phone.

"I'm going to use it to connect to Duke Dressel's mansion now."

Point-to-point communication is very simple, but if you want to have the basic dialing function, what you have to do is a little more complicated, but it is only slightly complicated. With the help of Sigmon, Newcomen and Savery have already solved it. this conundrum.

Picking up the receiver, everyone stared curiously at Sigmund on the stage.

"What is this? It can't be a transcendent item, right?" Barry looked at the strange-looking thing, while Scott, who was standing beside him, had his eyelids twitching wildly.

Newcomen dared to bring this thing to the stage, which is enough to represent his confidence, and the place where he connected was the Duke Dressel's mansion. If the person who connected the so-called phone call was Duke Dressel himself.

There is no doubt that there is basically no possibility of cheating on this item. Although he is not the creator of the contract, it is obviously impossible to deceive the Duke on this issue.

Dial... The voice in the microphone is amplified and can be heard by everyone present.

There was a mess, but not long after, accompanied by a light beep, a friendly voice resounded through the audience.

"Good morning, Henryk."

"Good morning, Your Excellency the Duke."

The audience fell into silence, and in the end there were spiritual power fluctuations one after another. Everyone used various means to check and detect within their capabilities.

"Is Mr. Appleyard here?" Duke Dressel's voice asked.

"Yes, sir. Shall I hand him the microphone?"

"I'm already here." Appleyard walked over to Sigmund curiously, and took the tool called a microphone.

Simple and rough, but this strange looking thing, he looked up and down for a long time.

"Appleyard, I didn't expect that one day we would communicate in this way."

"It's a novel feeling." Appleyard put the receiver to his ear and felt it carefully. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the giant spirit mentor on the stage.

"An amazing creation!"

"Opens up a new path for the exploration and application of spiritual energy!"

"Is there any new function?" He looked at Sigmund curiously, "You are Henrik, Newcomen's new student." He looked at Sigmund carefully, and it was obvious that he Know something about Sigmund.

"Yes, sir, let me demonstrate to you." Sigmund took the microphone from Apraia's hand and put it back.

"You are a very talented young man, and Dressel is full of praise for you. To be honest, I haven't seen him praise someone like this in nearly 20 years." Appleyard said casually.

But his simple sentence caused an uproar.

A student of a newly promoted rune master will indeed attract everyone's attention, but this attention is more because of Newcomen, but they heard even more explosive news from Appleyard just now.

Henrik, strange appearance, strange name.

But it was such a person who attracted Duke Dressel's attention and praise.

Who is Dressel?

The pillar of the Kingdom of Elam, it is no longer a question of whether he is optimistic about a young man. As long as he wants, he can make anyone a newcomer to the kingdom.

The creators present were a little better, but the nobles and senior officials of the kingdom quickly exchanged information, inquiring about the true identity of this young man.

Looking up at the time, Sigmund looked at everyone, "Please wait a moment, I informed a friend and asked her to call here around 9:30..."

Two minutes passed.

With the light ringing of jingle bells, the phone vibrated, Sigmund picked up the microphone, and the voice in the microphone was clearly transmitted throughout the audience through the sound reinforcement equipment.

"Hello?!"

"Henrik, can you hear me?"

Hearing this voice, most people looked at a loss, but the nobles of the kingdom quickly guessed the other party's identity from the voice.

"Charlotte, it's Princess Charlotte!"

"Who is this Henrik? He even knows Princess Charlotte?!"

"Could he be the illegitimate son of Duke Dressel..." The nobleman shut his mouth abruptly halfway through the words.

It is well known that Duke Dressel is not married and has no children. Although there are many speculations in private, no one dares to make fun of the Duke in public.

After a brief chat with Charlotte, he hung up the phone, and Sigmund looked at all the bystanders in the field, "As long as the line is laid, the machine is installed, and the other party's number is known in advance, we can pass this devices, connect anyone in this city!"

While everyone was still thinking about the impact of this creation, Appleyard, who was standing beside Sigmund, suddenly spoke.

"Great creation, I would like to give 8 contribution points to this design!"

"agree!"

"Agreed!" The four puppets spoke at the same time, and jointly gave 8 evaluations of contribution value.

Seeing this, Scott in the audience changed his face wildly.
