Calvin did not show any excitement, and Gregory had reason to believe that if he had discovered this phenomenon himself, then now he must be boasting about his exploits to those around him.

"I found this in a popular science book published by the Principality of Sorrow the other day. ”

A listless Calvin took out a book, and Gregory took it and looked at it, and was stunned.

"Later, I remembered that something similar was mentioned in a certain book, so I went to look for it......"

Gregory flipped through the popular science book in his hand and listened to Calvin's explanation.

Calvin pursed his mouth and snorted lightly: "It turned out that it really exists!" The ancient mages had already discovered this phenomenon, but they didn't pay attention to it, but they just recorded it casually and never paid attention to it again. ”

However, this is not so difficult to understand, after all, both in the past and now, what mages can drive is 'magic'.

It's just that from the current point of view, the ancient mages who practiced mysticism were indeed a bit stupid!

All particles or quanta can be described not only partly in terms of particles, but also partly in terms of waves...... Light has both wave and particle properties......

If this reading material were released, how many mages' worldviews would be destroyed?

Even Gregory, a mechanic who is not a mage, is horrified by the contents of this popular science book!

"This popular science book has not been officially released yet, and I have not shown it to anyone else. Calvin lazily explained, "This book was sent directly through the Church of Radiance, and after you read it, it will be sent to the military to show the commander of the battlefield mage......"

It was only then that Grigory noticed the gaze of the other R&D staff, and their eyes fell on the book in his hand.

Grigory closed the book with a blank face, and then a look of loss appeared on the faces of the men.

But he wouldn't give the book to them, not even get him to tell what it was about!

The things recorded in this 'popular science book' are too shocking to be accessible to them now, and if Calvin would do that, it means that the principality is not ready to release the book in a short period of time.

After closing the book, Gregory also felt a slight sense of loss, regret that he had not been able to gain more knowledge.

"So what?" said Gregory, holding the book in his hand, not trying to let go, and raised his chin to point to the machinery on the table, "what is that for?"

With his elbows propped up on the table, Calvin propped his head in one hand and sighed, "A machine that uses electricity as a medium to transmit information over long distances. ”

Gregory's eyes widened, "You say...... What?"

"That is—" Calvin turned his head to look at Gregory, "our railroad is saved!"

Silently looking at the familiar and strange person in front of him, Grigory took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his pounding heart, but to little avail.

He walked over, tapped his index finger on the table, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you use it?"

Seeing Gregory's attitude, Calvin also sat up straight and pursed his lips, "I'll say it first, this is not a purely mechanical creation!"

"It's okay!" Gregory shook his head resolutely, "as long as we can have a means of communication of our own, as for the old nobles...... They've been so averse to magic, but aren't they using magical creations themselves?"

Hearing Gregory say this, Calvin grinned and finally picked up.

"The thirty-two 'input' buttons represent the thirty-two letters of the lingua franca, and when one button is pressed, the mechanical key at the other end of the wire will also be flicked, and at the same time, the corresponding characters will be hit on the 'ribbon', and then the ink on the ribbon will be printed on the paper. ”

Calvin casually pulled a blank sheet of paper from the side, stuffed it all into the machine, rolled the roller, and adjusted the white paper to a usable state.

"Originally, if it was a purely mechanical creation, it would be impossible to directly convert electricity into text output, but I used a little 'little trick' in this. Calvin rubbed his fingers with a smile, in the Ogordon Empire, even the nobles liked to use this word to describe magic.

Later, Calvin smiled proudly: "After input, we can not only get an output file, but also an input backup! If something goes wrong, we can also use the backup to compare and process." ”

Grigory nodded approvingly, his joy overflowing.

The other members of the R&D department are honored because they also have their credit.

"That's it...... The material used for the ribbon is more expensive. Calvin hesitated.

Gregory, who was still a little excited, suddenly frowned, expensive?

"What did you use?" asked Gregory, with some trepidation.

Calvin smiled awkwardly, turned his head and whispered, "Silk ......"

"Phew!"

Grigory couldn't help but close his eyes.

"It's just that it can be used repeatedly, and it only needs to be impregnated with ink!" Calvin hurriedly explained, but even so, the ribbon was still expensive to make.

"At most, at most, you need to use some 'little tricks'......"

Gregory knew Calvin would say that.

According to his previous explanation, silk is not a material that is very suitable for ribbons, the cost is high, the yield is very low, and the waterproof properties are not good.

It must be very troublesome to make a 'ribbon' out of silk, and according to Calvin's current argument, it is even more troublesome to use magic to participate in the production.

Either find a new material to replace it, or train more mages, otherwise this thing will not be able to spread and be mass-produced.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, who should repair it?

Machines such as steam locomotives, which can only be used by state-level organizations, do not care whether there is magic involved, because as long as it is a country, then there must be mages, as long as those mages know how to repair them.

But this machine can't do it now, they don't have that many mages to equip it with.

That's why Calvin became famous in the first place, isn't this a 'purely mechanical creation'?

“...... Can ribbons be stored?" asked Gregory, rubbing his temples with a headache.

Calvin nodded his head as if he was pecking rice, his eyes full of anticipation, "Yes, of course......! There is a 'shelf life'. ”

Hearing this, Grigory thought for a moment, then nodded to the table, "Let your people bring the machinery, isn't there two in a group? Bring both, and then we will go to the Eternal Day Palace, and let His Majesty decide for himself." ”

Clapping his hands excitedly, Calvin raised his eyebrows.

Gregory has already said so, so maybe this is the case!

Next, almost half of the people in the R&D department were busy, not only to move the machine itself, but also to prepare some lines and some spare parts.

No one knows if there will be any problems, and if they bring the machine to His Majesty only to find that it is completely unusable due to some malfunction, then they will be embarrassed.

Gregory and Calvin got into the carriage and went to the Palace of the Eternal Day, where they were to report the matter to His Majesty.

Although they didn't need to report their entry and exit from the Eternal Day Palace, others needed to apply in advance.

However, His Majesty also knows the importance of the matter, so as long as they apply, they will definitely be accepted.

Quite possibly, another era is coming!(https:)
