Chapter 1853: Chapter 618: Transylvania’s War Technology Tree Unlocks a New Branch, “Espionage Technology” (Part 3)
“It’s a communication device similar to the Communication Bead! But it doesn’t rely on Spiritual Energy Factors in the air to work; it’s an encryption communication thod from our side.
Of course, what I brought out is just the simplest prototype of a Morse code telegraph. The sender and receiver need to be connected by the Half-body Man’s wires, but precisely because it’s a hard connection, it can completely ensure normal communication in areas with Spiritual Energy disturbances and prevent so of your important information from being transparent in the eyes of the enemy.
Currently, all our remote communication relies entirely on the Calculating Pearl connection, not to ntion whether that is safe enough—the distance limitation alone is enough to land us in dangerous situations.
If you and the Crimson Regent can grant enough research funding, then I’m confident I can produce a mass-manufacturable product within two months.”
“Sounds impressive, but this thing is so bulky…”
Murphy pretended to be clueless about Morse code and telegraph devices, circling around the prototype a few tis.
Thinking to himself, ‘How co ngha looks simple and honest, but becos so cunning when asking for a budget? The craftsmanship of this thing is so poor; it’s likely this physicist cobbled it together in a few hours just to scam for funding.’
He intended to make things difficult, so he said:
“Can you show how it works?”
“Simple!”
ngha grinned, stepped forward to activate it, and cranked the handle a few tis, likely because it included a simple battery. Anyway, when the gas bulb beside the machine lit up, ngha ceremoniously pressed on the telegraph key dudu-dudu for a while.
A dozen seconds later, Little Wei Ming ca running over from a room at the other end of the courtyard with a sheet of paper covered in long and short lines.
ng HaHa shook the paper at Murphy, saying:
“This is a cipher system called Morse code. I just need to decode it, and I can translate the ssage I just sent. You see, in today’s Transylvania, this thing has multiple encryptions!
Not to ntion whether anyone can intercept the telegraph; even if they heard it, they couldn’t translate it.
Trust , this project is definitely worth the investnt, especially Lady Adel’s Shadow Intelligence Bureau will certainly like this thing. Don’t be fooled by its current size. As long as I figure out electronic tubes and transistors, it will imdiately beco compact.
Moreover, since the Half-body Man’s engineering technology can already produce gas light bulbs, this indicates that electronic tubes won’t be difficult either.”
“But it requires that wire between its receiver and transmitter, right?”
Murphy rubbed his chin, feigning an “I’m an outsider” expression, and said with so doubt:
“Doesn’t that an before I can use this thing, I have to lay wires all over Transylvania?”
“Uh, actually, no. As I ntioned earlier, if I can handle electronic tube technology, I can create a radio transmitter.”
ng HaHa was about to explain the principle in detail, but Little Wei Ming, blinking her big eyes, nudged her arm, and the physicist imdiately realized.
What am I doing?
Was I planning to teach a high school physics class to a different world person?
“Uh, I can assure you I can produce a version that doesn’t require the wires.”
ngha concisely added:
“Though wireless signals would also be disrupted by energy surges, there’s no sort of urban landscape on this Continent to impede signal transmission, so its effective range would be quite impressive. Under extre conditions, the signals you send from Transylvania could even be received in the Misty Sea.
Of course, since it’s my first ti encountering Spiritual Energy, I can’t confirm whether or not Spiritual Energy might affect electromagnetic signals; I can’t give you that guarantee.
But if this thing indeed cos into being, at the very least, we could break free of the Calculating Pearl constraint in military intelligence transmission.
You see, this thing was invented by the Half-body Man, right?
Although the Half-body Man promises to have ethics, how can you ensure they aren’t secretly eavesdropping? The best intelligence organization on the Continent, the Thieves Guild, is governed by the Steam Lord of the Half-Bodies, isn’t it?
We always need to keep an eye open, right?
The thing I’ve taken out is the kind that usually doesn’t stand out, but once you need to securely pass ssages free of Half-body Man influences, you’ll know how fortunate it is to have my machine.”
“Mm, you’ve convinced , my warrior.”
Murphy nodded, giving a glance at the large, clunky machine beside him, he said:
“I will have Milian allocate so funds for you…”
“Yay!”
ng HaHa excitedly pumped her fist, but in the next second, Murphy’s face hardened as he handed the paper to ngha, saying:
“Actually, this thing wasn’t even turned on just now; you and the mischievous Little Wei Ming put on a play in front of . This thing can’t operate normally, right?
I’m a vampire.
I can sense that this thing is just an empty shell, without any complex apparatus inside.”
“Uh…”
ngha shrugged and said:
“It’s just to scam so funding; no sha in that. But I promise you as a physicist, all the theories I ntioned are true.
The rules of electromagnetic conversion have already been verified as equally effective here by , so I am certain I can present you with a satisfactory product within two months! If I fail, you could banish from this world at any ti!”
