“Congratulations, Su Lu!”
As soon as they left the office, Cecilia and Andrew rushed to congratulate him.
“Thank you, but it’s too soon to celebrate,” Su Lu said with a mysterious smile.
“Indeed, don’t get too carried away by becoming a full-fledged researcher. You have no idea how many senior researchers are in our lab…”
The eccentric voice of Victor suddenly interrupted.
He tilted his chin proudly, as if flaunting his ‘senior researcher’ status. Although in the Institute of Electrics, there was no such official division.
“Andrew!”
Seeing Su Lu unaffected by his words, Victor grew angrier. But being on Su Lu’s level, he had little power over him. He then turned to Andrew, “Aren’t you supposed to be working? Don’t make a mistake or you’ll be kicked out of Green
Tree Castle!”
“I’m going right now!” Andrew jumped.
Meanwhile, Su Lu’s expression darkened.
Victor’s words were meant not just for Andrew.
Although he didn’t see Victor as a competitor, having a persistent fly buzzing in front of him was annoying, “Are you purposefully picking a fight?”
“You guys…”
Cecilia looked troubled, glancing between Su Lu and Victor.
Bang!
Just then, the office door burst open and a bloodshot-eyed William rushed out, “The experiment starts now… Su Lu! You…are my assistant, get that telegraph made immediately, it’s feasible!!”
“What?”
Everyone in the lab was taken aback.
“Our research is about to be successful, Su Lu has just submitted a paper called ‘the telegraph’. It’s extremely promising!”
William loudly announced, “Start the experiment immediately, I need real-time data!”
“A paper?”
Cecilia was stunned but quickly realized, “Su Lu submitted another paper? And it seems to have a bigger impact than the last one?” “Our experiment will be successful…because of him?” Victor glared at Su Lu, his jealousy flaring. ‘Why?’
‘Why is it always him? Why not me?’
“Alright, professor!” In response to this, Su Lu shrugged his shoulders, displaying a helpless smirk to Victor. Swiftly agreeing.
Tick! Tock!
Tick! Tock! Tock!
Several hours later, inside the lab.
Listenting to the sounds of the telegraph, William’s face broke into an uncontrollable grin, “Can it be translated?”
“Yes…”
Cecilia, with Su Lu’s paper in hand, quickly compared, “Hmm…Short then long means ‘A’, then two longs and a short is ‘S’…this telegraph reads ‘the Seven Gods are born from the Star Realm, Goddess of Light bathes in divine light and descends to earth!”‘
The ticking sounds representing a letter or symbol in Common Hebrew, strung together to form a message.
“Hmm, it can be improved. We could use a pointer or a punch machine to record the codes, not only to improve the speed but also to reduce the probability of translation errors!”
True to form, William immediately suggested improvements, “Incredible innovation!”
He looked at Su Lu, “Congratulations, the experiment was successful! This telegraph perfectly fulfills my imagination of current information technology…
even better, coupled with an appropriate cipher book, it can also serve a function of confidentiality! I think… calling it the ‘Pottery Cipher’ is a good name.”
“Thank you, professor!”
Su Lu responded with a smile. At this point, it wasn’t just Victor who was envious, several jealous and admiring eyes cast on him, seemingly attempting to set him ablaze.
“Ladies and Gentlemen… After years of hard work, our electric information lab has made a breakthrough! Let’s cheer for Su Lu!”
William, after hastily instructing a few words, took the experimental data and rushed out.
It seemed, he couldn’t wait to report to Sleydon Watt.
Su Lu watched William’s receding figure, chuckling silently.
This entryway brick is certainly enough to attract the lab’s attention, improve his status, and access more information!
‘Will the true secret of Green Tree Castle reveal itself to me soon?’
The Institute of Electrics.
The door to Sleydon Watt’s office was pushed open somewhat brutally, “Sir…
We have succeeded!”
William stormed in like a gust of wind, waving the paper in his hand as if it were an invaluable treasure, “The experiment of transmission of information via electricity has made a breakthrough, it has become the Telegraph!”
Sleydon Watt raised his eyebrows, forgiving William’s slight rudeness.
Compared to this, he was more interested in the progress of the electrical research.
After receiving the paper, he first glanced at the title, ‘”On the Concept of Coding and Telegraph’? The author is Su Lu Pottery?”
Half an hour later, Sleydon Watt finished reading and closed his eyes.
When he opened them again after a moment, they were filled with a sharp glint.
A powerful wave of magic spread, causing the books and papers on his desk to flutter around.
Bluish light seeped out, floating midair, forming various symbols and devices, constantly clashing and changing.
William watched this spectacle without batting an eye.
This was the power of [Arcane]!
Their formidable computational abilities even allowed them to memorize the most complex spell templates and simulate their abilities by learning from various mystic creatures.
At this point, they had only begun to deduce.
Deduction required prerequisites and couldn’t be pulled out of thin air.
What surprised him was that Sleydon Watt even needed some symbols and rituals to assist.
In other words, the original mental arithmetic whiz now added a pen and scratch paper as tools.
“The telegraph… it’s feasible! It’s worth promoting on a large scale!”
After a while, as the magic dissipated, Sleydon Watt looked slightly weary but said decisively, “This is a groundbreaking invention that could potentially change the world. I suggest… promoting this paper to ‘Classified’!”
The emergence of the telegraph represents fast information delivery and will bring immeasurable influence to the world.
For example, connecting the Old Continent and the New Continent.
Or even… connecting the edges of the world, expanding the circle of communication!
As one of the highly esteemed scientists of the Federation and himself an [Arcane], Sleydon Watt was incredibly aware of the value of the telegraph. It could even be described as a ‘National Treasure’!
“With it, the world will slowly shrink… in this era of the ‘Dawn of the Gods’, whether this is a good thing or not, remains to be seen.”
Sleydon Watt murmured to himself.
“What should we do about the author?” William stood respectfully and asked suddenly.
“He’s a talent! Even though the technology used in the telegraph is not new, the way he strung them together and devised this cipher shows great breadth of thought! ”
Sleydon Watt smiled warmly, “Originally, I wanted to observe for a while longer. But now, I can’t wait to meet him..”
