Chapter 1134 Welcome to the future (II)
Because the Ogland sisters arrived earlier, they successfully obtained a mobile phone each from the window, and also received their own "phone numbers".
Unlike modern times, Founder does not equip mobile phones with SIM cards in other worlds. On the contrary, the numbers here are bound to the mobile phones. In other words, one number is for one mobile phone and cannot be changed...
So don’t think about dual-SIM dual-standby. If you want to open a small account, please buy two mobile phones.
Smartphones are very convenient to use, and Founder introduced and explained them in the text of the main world, so it didn't take long for Ogland and his sister to quickly learn how to use their phones.
"Sister? Sister? Can you hear my voice? I heard your voice?"
“I can hear it, very clearly!”
Hearing his sister's clear voice in his ears, Ogland's legs shook with excitement.
Indeed, long-distance communication is not impossible in the main world, such as the communication technique and the breeze technique that mages often use. However, these methods also have many disadvantages. For example, the communication technique has a distance limit, and the breeze technique can only transmit one hundred and fifty words.
Communication within - from a certain perspective, this can be regarded as a magical version of telegraphy from another world.
But these methods have a very serious flaw, that is, they require at least one of the two parties to communicate to be a mage, and they must know this spell. This is why even with magic, nobles still insist on using letters to transmit information——
-After all, they are not willing to rely on third parties for many things, and most nobles do not actually know how to use magic. Therefore, if two nobles who do not understand magic want to communicate with each other, they will not be able to use magic.
Already.
But now, this problem is solved!
Even if we haven't fully figured out what functions this "smartphone" has, the fact that it can allow two people who don't understand magic to communicate anytime and anywhere is enough for Ogland to see the prospects and profits in it!
The important question now is where exactly these mobile phones can be used, what is the effective distance and range, and what are the restrictions...
If you want to know the answers to these questions, there is only one way.
“Let’s go to the Tiandao Palace booth!!”
Holding the phone in hand, Ogland made a decision quickly.
Different from other places, when Oglan brought his sister to the booth of Tiandao Palace, the place was already crowded with people, and everywhere he looked, it was dark.
The exhibition stand of Tiandao Palace was completely designed by Nanoka from Franke Workshop. At the top of the center of the stand, a crystal tower was suspended, and it was divided by three pure white walls on both sides.
There are three areas, all with different styles of decoration to set off their themes.
The entire Tiandao Palace booth is divided into three aspects: "communication", "information processing" and "entertainment". Among them, the "communication" booth mainly introduces to the guests in detail how mobile phones are used and their scope through picture display and text description.
How big is it, and the entire process of how it works. The text descriptions and images used are also quite simple and easy to understand. Even Ogland, who doesn’t know much about magic, after reading these schematic diagrams, is also familiar with the mobile phone in his hand.
Have a certain level of understanding.
"So, this mobile phone can achieve communication functions within a certain range by exchanging information with that crystal... Well, I see, I understand..."
Frowning, Oglan carefully looked at the crystal tower suspended in the air. In other words, if you want to use this magic item called a mobile phone to communicate, you must spend money to build a crystal tower... This is terrible
It's a bit trickier. Maybe those big cities don't have to worry, but in some remote areas, there is no profit in spending a lot of money to build such a crystal tower, not to mention the need to guard against the crystal tower being attacked and destroyed...
Moreover, the Crystal Tower cannot be moved yet. If it is in a big city, it can also be equipped with patrols. If it is in a remote area, I am afraid that it will need to hire people to protect it. This is another large amount of money... Maybe it can be combined with the guards of border cities.
Shared by troops and fortresses? They must really need this kind of crystal to communicate with the capital. If this is the case, maybe the price can be lowered, and it can also allow them to take the initiative to send people to protect it?
As a natural businessman, after Ogland calmed down, she immediately began to think about the profits and how to make profits. She was certain that this invention would change the entire continent! Whether it was economy, military, or culture
Communication!
After all, from the current point of view, there will be no delay when using mobile phones to send information, whether it is communication or writing a letter! In the past, it took several days to write and send a letter, and you had to worry about the letter being lost on the way back and forth.
Or lost due to bandits and bandits will be gone forever!
Of course, they can send urgent letters directly through the magic circle, but the problem is where do ordinary people have so many urgent letters that need to be sent? Take Ogland for example, she wants to share with her friends the recent flower blooms in the garden.
Does something as beautiful as this require an urgent letter?
Not to mention that magic teleportation is very expensive!
However, with a mobile phone, all this is no longer a problem! She can transmit information anytime and anywhere, and she doesn’t have to worry about missing her letters, let alone problems!
After a busy day's work, she can enjoy afternoon tea in her garden while voice or video chatting with her friends who are thousands of miles away. Of course, she can also use her mobile phone anytime, anywhere.
The "shoot" function allows you to take pictures of the scenery you see and share it with other friends...
Just thinking about all this, Oglan can't wait!
This is only what Ogland thought of from the perspective of a businessman and aristocrat, but in the eyes of those military attachés born in the military and politicians in high positions, it is a different scene.
If nothing else, if you think about it carefully, if a fortress on the border is attacked, you can get the information immediately after one second, instead of waiting stupidly for several days, and then watching the messenger appear on a horse that is almost exhausted.
Reporting the news of the attack on the fortress in front of him... What does this mean?
The soldiers are so quick!
With such a magical magic prop, many generals do not even have to rush to the battlefield. Instead, they only need to observe and issue orders through their mobile phones to direct the battle!
For those politicians, this is equally important. Their own information, their friends' information, their enemies' information - who is going to stab themselves behind their backs? If they can know this kind of thing at the first time, wouldn't it be better than others?
Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to wait until they hear the report and the other party has already returned to their hometown? Moreover, with such a tool, they don't have to worry about leaving evidence such as letters when communicating with their confidants in other places!
What is placed on the second "Information Processing" booth is not a mobile phone, but something that looks strange in Ogland. It looks like two rectangular black stone slabs connected, and next to it
It says this thing is called——personal computer?
In Ogland's view, it is like an enlarged version of a mobile phone. In fact, Founder has no intention of directly popularizing computers in this world - the development of the main world is different from other worlds. The mages here explore the magic network to study magic.
They don't need computers to help them perform spatial calculations. You must know that this requires a complete calculation system, and the calculation system of the main world is completely different from that of Founder's world. So after thinking about it, Founder decided to use computers directly as "office supplies"
It can be used for printing and inputting paperwork, as well as various task lists and financial statements... At least this is safer than records written on paper.
Most of the people at this booth are businessmen. After all, businessmen can clearly find out how important financial statements from a few years ago are to them with just one click - you must know that their financial statements are piled up in the warehouse.
It's higher than the mountain. It's fine if nothing happens. If something happens, they will even send people to search inside for many days just to find a small contract. But now, with computers to help record, then
They no longer have to waste time!
You don’t have to worry about your warehouse being burned down.
After looking at the "computers" displayed at the "Information Technology" booth, Ogland took his sister to the third booth, which was the "Entertainment" booth.
Now she really wants to figure out how to entertain these things?
Until now, through the "Communications" and "Information Technology" booths, Ogland has admitted that what Founder brought to her this time was definitely a surprise. However, even so, she could not imagine how to use these things for entertainment... After all, entertainment
The nature of life and work in games is completely different from those before.
Facts have also proved that Ogland's idea is correct. There are many people in the third booth, but most of them are young people. Obviously, young people are more interested in entertainment games. I saw them crowding in front of the stage, and from time to time
They cheered and even waved their hands, as if they were watching a duel.
Could it be said that the so-called infotainment is a duel?
Duel with mobile phones?
Ogland felt that she was a little confused, but she still squeezed through. When Ogland and his sister squeezed to the front with their slender bodies, they finally saw the scene in front of them clearly.
Chapter completed!
