Chapter 578 Thunder
Replacing the chief executive of the cabinet and exiling Osklo and his son, Russell's authority quickly spread in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
No one dared to despise his will anymore.
Therefore, his will was quickly implemented throughout the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. More and more scholars were reused, more and more inventions were applied, and more and more new products were used.
The railway has not been built yet, but steam carriages have been mass-produced and are running on the road one after another, traveling to various places in Shadow Flame Volcano.
Burning black oil or coal is fine.
One day in August, Russell received good news again. The thunder machine project team he provided ideas for finally successfully developed the thunder machine.
"Your Highness, the idea you provided is correct. The magic of the thunder element attribute does have an extraordinary transmission effect. Our research group successfully transmitted and received information based on the oscillation frequency of the thunder element attribute magic!"
The thunder machine is different from the telegraph in Russell's memory. This is a small iron tower.
Capture the free thunder element attribute magic in the air, and then load information according to the frequency and length of the oscillation.
"Show us a quick demonstration!" Russell said happily.
One thunder machine was placed in Windfury City, and another was placed in Red Castle. Then the first "wireless communication" in Dragon Sleep Continent was realized.
With the help of coding, the effect of instant communication was successfully achieved.
"Call Minister of Industry Roland."
"Yes, Your Highness."
When his elder brother Roland arrived, Russell asked him to observe the thunder machine for a while. Roland's eyes lit up immediately: "This invention is simply too great!"
"The Ministry of Industry will set up a thunder machine manufacturing plant to continuously improve and produce thunder machines. Then I need to build thunder stations in all provinces. In the future, the official documents of the Red Castle can be conveyed with the help of thunder machines and thunder stations."
As he said, Russell added: "Let Mel take a thunder machine and go on a mission to the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent."
"King Ares will definitely like this gift."
"You can give him a phonograph, but please also ask him to respect the intellectual property rights. All phonographs will have to be imported from the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame in the future." Russell smiled. He is not a selfless human leader who sacrifices himself for the benefit of others.
All these intellectual property rights are charged.
Roland hurriedly went to plan the thunder station. Russell thought about it and sent someone to invite Marquis Arnold and Princess Anxia to come.
"You two are now the leaders of the Renaissance in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame. I would like to ask you for a favor." Russell said.
Marquis Arnold smiled and said, "Your Highness, please tell me. Arnold will definitely help me with all his heart!"
After half a year of living a carefree life, Princess Anxia regained her radiance and smiled and said, "Your Highness, please tell me."
"The Great Scholars Round Table has invented the thunder machine. You can watch it first." Russell first took the two to experience the wonders of the thunder machine. As expected, the two were amazed and could see the benefits of the thunder machine.
It is incredible that a thunder sound can be spoken face to face even though they are thousands of miles apart.
"The wonders of the thunder machine are far more than that. In addition to the thunder machine, I would like to ask you to sponsor a research project."
"What?" Princess Anxia asked.
"Radio project."
Since the thunder machine has been successfully developed, it means that the magic of the thunder element has the ability to transmit information, and naturally it can also transmit sound through it, so the invention of the radio is a matter of course.
However, research requires money. No matter how rich the Red Castle is, it is difficult to support the current industrialization layout.
This is why Russell had to raise funds from the nobles to build the railway. Now every research of the Great Scholars Round Table requires money. Russell can't get it, so he can only think of ways to get money from the rich.
Princess Anxia and Marquis Arnold are the two rich and idle people in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
They have enough funds to support radio research.
Of course.
Russell didn't let them invest in vain: "After the radio research is done, I plan to set up a radio thunder station, which will be handed over to you to operate. You can arrange some radio dramas and news programs on it... In short, this will greatly promote the development of literature and art!"
Marquis Arnold and Princess Anxia looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Russell smiled with satisfaction.
...
On the snowfield south of the Yunmengze Oasis, Russell rode the pseudo-nightmare dragon Senbula and fought a horse-riding blue-skinned beast on the snowfield.
Dragon flames gushed.
After a moment, the blue horse turned into two ice soul beads and fell into Russell's hands.
"Huh." Wiping the sweat off his face, Russell said, "Sembula, after this battle, our minds are finally perfectly synchronized!"
"Yes, the minds are perfectly synchronized!" Sembula responded in his mind, "You can also continue to contract new fantasy beasts."
"Don't worry." Russell said.
Russell was not ready to contract a fantasy beast that was not extremely intelligent and had a talent for dreams. After being promoted to a fantasy dragon knight with the sacred unicorn Polly, his strength was no longer simply driven by contracting fantasy beasts.
But how much elemental power he controlled.
"Hiss." The ice cap on the side broke, and the Ouroboros Ouroboros came out and jumped directly onto Russell's back.
"Okay, let's go back!" Russell signaled Ouroboros to merge with him, and then with the help of Sembula's dream return skill, he escaped into the dark dream in an instant and returned to the cigar palace in Sembula's memory.
The two fantasy beasts went back to rest.
Russell returned to the Cigar Palace. Just after he came back, he saw Butler Morris coming over: "Sir, I just received the thunder from the Red Castle. It said that King Ares sent you the thunder. Minister Mel Already arrived at the Golden Palace.”
In the Cigar Palace, a thunder station has been built.
Not only that, now almost every castle has built a thunder station, and there is no longer any delay in news from the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Even many nobles use thunder machines to greet and chat with each other every day.
The magic power consumed by the thunder machine was nothing in the eyes of the nobles.
Russell immediately came to the thunder station in the Cigar Palace and said to the thunder machine coder: "Send me a thunder to the Red Fort."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Please forward the Red Castle to the Golden Palace to say hello to King Ares." Russell said happily, holding a cup of freshly brewed green tea.
at the same time.
Over at the Golden Palace, after the visit of Foreign Minister Mel, King Ares immediately held the thunder machine and couldn't put it down. Under Mel's introduction, he personally used the thunder machine to send and receive thunder - this thunder machine was very Large, it is a host that can receive signals tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The Red Fort also has this kind of host.
Cigar Castle's thunder machine is an ordinary extension machine, and its signal reception distance cannot exceed three thousand kilometers.
Didi, didi...
The thunder host of the Golden Palace made a beeping sound.
Mel immediately reminded: "Your Majesty the King, it was the Red Castle that sent the thunder."
"Oh, how do I decipher it?"
"Compare this code book... Well, this is the thunder from His Highness the Grand Duke. He is saying hello to you... These codes have corresponding words in the code book..." Mel taught King Ares seriously. .
King Ares immediately sent thunder to the Red Fort under the guidance of Mel: "I'm very good. Thank you Grand Duke Russell for your greetings. The thunder machine is really a great invention."
Finished thundering.
He raised his head and asked: "Sir Mel, this thunder machine was also invented by Archduke Russell?"
"Yes, His Highness the Grand Duke is the most outstanding polymath with great achievements." Mel said sincerely, "Not only in the way of knighthood, he is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, but in the way of erudition, he will also be recorded in the annals of history."
After hearing this, King Ares was filled with emotion: "The future will be the era of Russell!"
