434 Luciens Package Plan (2/2)
Obviously, the president and Lucien's teacher were also aware of the fact that the popularization of magic items would greatly challenge the foundation of the Church. Lucien realized once again that he was definitely not the only smart guy in this world, so he hurriedly put forward another plan.
”I've been working on producing a new, affordable alchemical item. It can receive electromagnetic signals within a certain range and turn it into voice. Although it cannot accommodate point-to-point communications, it can still change ordinary people's life!”
What Lucien was saying was a magic version of the Crystal Radio that belongs to level-one alchemical items. Through mass production, the technique requirement could be lowered to the apprentice level. A common citizen could afford it with several years of saving.
”Life-changing?” Fernando directly got to the point, even though Lucien was not being very specific.
Lucien put on a mischievous smile. ”We can form a radio program and send message to the countries across Storm Strait at a specific frequency. We can play symphonies, pianos pieces, operas, stories, and legends. We can even introduce some basic knowledge of arcana and magic to people, as well as the dark history facts of the Church…”
Hearing Lucien's words, Luciana slightly opened her mouth and exclaimed in a great shock, ”It's tearing down the foundation of the Church. They will go crazy!”
”Therefore we gotta be careful with the time and the frequency band. The programs should also be interesting so that once people start liking the programs, they will keep them as a secret and gradually be converted. Of course, at first, we have to protect our listeners by choosing the areas where we are able to exert our power. We have to make sure that they won't be put on the gallows even if anyone inform against them.” Lucien answered seriously.
Douglas released a sigh. ”Very good. You shall name the program then.”
All of them present were aware of the value of the plan.
”Um… Let's name it Arcana Voice.” Lucien would not tell anyone that he had decided the name a long time ago.
”Let's set up a company for turning all the alchemical items and communication plans that you just mentioned into real. The shares are divided according to our own contribution and investment. As the initiator and the inventor of the alchemical items, Lucien, you will get 25 percent.” Fernando made the final decision. It looked like a fair decision, but in fact, favored Lucien a lot.
Fernando was the one who created Electromagnetism Messaging. Douglas, Fernando, and the Prophet would be responsible for launching the satellites. Luciana and Norman would be the ones to carry out the specific plans and make investments. All of them, including the sorcerers that were going to join them in the future, only owned 75 percent of the company.
Douglas agreed as he was grateful to Lucien who suggested the artificial planet project. He smiled and asked, ”what about the name for the company?”
”Allyn Telephone and Telegram Company…” Lucien responded subconsciously, then he hurriedly explained. ”… It means using electromagnetic waves to communicate and transmit messages.”
After drawing the basic plan, Douglas looked at Lucien. ”So for the applications of artificial planets, you got any other suggestions?”
He was sure that this young man's ambition was far more than this.
”First of all, we shall conduct more in-depth studies in the ionosphere to look for a better plan for transmitting electromagnetic waves. Secondly, we have to put more defensive magic circles to protect the planets, including Invisibility and Orbital Transfer,” replied Lucien without hesitation. ”Thirdly, since the planets are high above, most attacks from them will be weakened greatly before they reach the ground, so we have to come up with super-range attack magic spells with much more concentrated energy… hopefully the spells will be lower than legendary level.”
Or the cost for producing a legendary-level artificial planet would be too high.
”Fourthly, we can use artificial planets to monitor our targets on the ground…”
Lucien indeed had a complete package plan. Many of his suggestions made the grand arcanists present feel deeply refreshing.
”You have too many suggestions. We have to go back and digest them first. We'll set up Allyn Telephone and Telegram Company first; forming Arcana Voice will be our current priority.” Douglas was affected by God's Arrival, and he sounded a bit tired after the initial spirit-lifting buffering expired.
However, standing beside Douglas, Artil was rather excited. ”I'm going to write papers and challenge all the arcanists who ever doubted your theories and experiments on the velocity of light, Sir!”
