Chapter 322 Telephone
After finishing the matter of resurrecting Zhen, Chen Yu and Chen Xi left Inazuma directly. The reason was very simple, they were used to the city life and didn't want to live the hard life in the countryside anymore.
Although Inazuma is not that bad, we have to admit this fact. In terms of quality of life, compared with the quality of life in Fengdan and Mond, Inazuma is like a rural village.
Rhinedot planned to stay in Inazuma for a while, just to see if Inazuma had any experimental materials and targets that she liked.
Knowing that Rhinedotte wanted to stay, Chen Yue did not object and specially marked a piece of land for her.
The three officials had behaved much more obediently during the reform half a year ago. The leaders among them had been used as materials for the filth and were now tied up in Chen Yue's own space for emergency use.
However, Chen Yue had not yet resolved the issue between Kamisato's family and Kaijima, nor did he intend to resolve it. He was not a permanent resident, so it was better to let the people behind him worry about it instead of worrying about it himself.
The Kamisato family had been out of his control for hundreds of years, and Chen Yue did not intend to spend a lot of effort to take back this former trump card. And whether Kaijima belonged to Inazuma or Zhidong in the future, it didn't matter to Chen Yue.
It's just a pity for Xinhai and Kamisato Ayato, who were the most frustrated from the beginning to the end. So Chen Yue didn't make things difficult for them during this period, but asked Zhidong to prepare a large amount of supplies and donate them unconditionally to Haizhi Island.
At this point, Chen Yue had finished all the things he wanted to do at Inazuma. In the next few months, he could finally take a real break.
Half lying on a chair in the castle tower's study, Chen Yue put his feet on the table and covered his face with a book.
Shin and Ying went to Narujin Taisha Shrine to reminisce about the past with Kitsunagumi and the others. As a grown man, it was not appropriate for him to go and get involved, so he just stayed in the castle tower to rest alone.
"Hello, Chen Yue, the landline phone that you asked Chen Ju to develop last time that can realize calls across the entire continent has been sent." Before they had rested for long, Chen Yin's voice came from outside the door.
Chen Yue lazily opened the book on his face, with a flash of surprise and excitement in his eyes. A landline that can communicate across the entire continent is not only a technological breakthrough, but also an important step forward for Teyvat in the field of information transmission.
In the continent of Teyvat, which consists of seven countries, the flow of information is often limited by geographical and power boundaries, and such an invention will undoubtedly greatly change this situation.
"Bring it in and let me have a look." Chen Yue sat up straight, his anticipation barely concealed in his voice.
Chen Yin pushed the door open and walked in, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand. The surface of the box was carved with intricate patterns, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"This is the masterpiece that Chen Ju worked on day and night. It is said that it incorporates a lot of the ideas you provided before." Chen Yin gently placed the wooden box on the table in front of Chen Yue, a hint of pride on his lips.
"You didn't invent it, so why are you so proud?"
Although Chen Yue was teasing, his eyes were already fixed on the wooden box, as if he could see the miracle that was about to unfold inside through the lid. He slowly stretched out his hand and lightly touched the edge of the lid with his fingertips, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.
With a light "click" sound, the lid of the box slowly opened, and a landline phone with a simple yet technological look came into view.
"It's a good restoration, pretty much the same as I remembered. I just don't know how it works."
Chen Yue looked at the phone carefully. The body of the phone was made of a rare metal, and the surface was glowing with a faint blue light, as if it contained some unknown energy.
The design of the landline phone cleverly combines tradition and the future. On one side is an exquisite rotary dialer, and on the other side is inlaid with a small electric crystal. Although it is not large, it is clear and transparent, emitting a soft light.
"Alas, it's a pity that it still uses batteries. When can it use an outlet?"
Chen Yue sighed softly, his words expressing both a slight regret for the current situation and an infinite vision for the future. In this world where magic and machinery coexist, every step of technological progress is accompanied by countless attempts and failures.
"Don't rush to complain. Chen Ju said that this is just the first prototype. Future versions will be gradually optimized, including upgrades to the energy system." Chen Yin always seemed to be able to see through Chen Yue's thoughts and give timely answers and encouragement.
Although batteries are not the most perfect energy solution, they are one of the most stable and reliable sources of energy under current conditions.
"Yeah, that's right. When the time comes, let Fontaine Academy of Sciences cooperate with the Academy of Education." Chen Yue nodded. It was already very good to be able to develop to this level.
"But my guess is right, there should be restrictions on using this landline, right?"
Chen Yue's eyes moved away from the electric crystal of the phone and turned to the few barely visible inscriptions at the bottom of the phone. These inscriptions were written in ancient characters, and each character contained deep wisdom and elemental power, which was a bridge connecting reality and virtuality, the past and the future.
"Indeed, every communication device like this has been enhanced with elemental power." Chen Yin explained, with a hint of awe in her voice, "Its principle is to convey information to the other party through elemental fluctuations."
"So the minimum requirement to use it is that you must be able to drive elemental power. However, this point is quite lenient. The evil eye, bloodline power and other elemental powers can be activated."
"And each landline can only be used in a specific location. Just like this one, it can only be used within Inazuma. After all, in this era, the flow and control of information is directly related to the stability and prosperity of each country."
Chen Yue heard this and thoughtfully touched the edge of the phone, feeling the coolness and strength coming from the metal. She asked softly, "How many of these phones did he make?"
"Seven. Apart from this one, the other six are in the bases of the Fatui of the other five countries, and the remaining one was handed over to the Ice Queen."
"Seven?" Chen Yue murmured softly, a trace of deep thought flashing in her eyes. She seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Make six more, and send one to the god representatives of each country. They will definitely recognize the name I used there."
There was a gleam of excitement in Chen Yue's eyes, as if he had already seen the surprised expressions of leaders of various countries when they received the phone calls.
“Oh, oh! Oh…”
"Well, don't say that!"
"Just don't give it to Xumi yet. Azar is going to fall anyway. I will go over and give it to Nashida in person when the time comes."
"Besides, you didn't come here just for this, did you?"
