Menghaha thought for a while and explained in simple language:

"It is a communication device similar to a communication orb! But it does not rely on psychic factors in the air to be effective. This is our encrypted communication method.

Of course, the one I took out is just the simplest Morse Telegraph prototype. The sending end and receiving end need to be connected with halfling wires, but because it is a hard connection, it can completely guarantee normal operation in areas with psychic disorder.

Communication can also prevent certain important information under your command from being one-way transparent in the eyes of the enemy.

Our current remote information exchanges all rely on the connection of computing orbs, and regardless of whether this is safe enough, just a distance limit is enough to put us in a very dangerous situation.

If you and the Scarlet Archon can grant me enough research funds, then I am sure to have a finished product that can be mass-produced within two months."

"It sounds awesome, but it's so bulky."

Murphy pretended he knew nothing about Morse code and telegraph equipment as he walked around the prototype several times.

I thought to myself, this cute guy seems to be doing his job honestly, so why is he so cunning when it comes to budgeting? The poor manufacturing process of this thing is very likely that this physicist spent several hours saving up to defraud the funds.

He felt stuck, so he said:

"Can I see how it works?"

"Simple!"

Mengha grinned, stepped forward to activate the thing, and cranked it a few times with the handle. It probably came with a simple battery. Anyway, after the gas bulb next to the machine lit up, Mengha reached out to the key in a dignified manner.

It beeped for a while.

Ten seconds later, in the room at the other end of the yard, Ashina ran over with a piece of paper with long and short lines drawn on it.

Menghaha took the piece of paper and shook it at Murphy and said:

"This is a cryptographic system called Morse code. Now I only need to decode it to translate the message I just sent. You see, in today's Transia, this thing is multiple encryption!

Not to mention whether anyone could intercept the telegram, even if they heard it, they would not be able to translate it.

Please believe me, this project is definitely worth the money, especially Mrs. Adele's Shadow Intelligence Agency will definitely like this thing. Don't look at how huge it is now. As long as I find a way to get the tubes and transistors, it will be ready in no time.

Can become smaller and more exquisite.

Moreover, halflings’ engineering technology can produce gas light bulbs, which shows that electronic tubes are not difficult to make.”

"But it needs that wire between its receiver and transmitter, right?"

Murphy rubbed his chin, made an "I'm a layman" expression, and said with some doubts:

"Do I have to put wires all over Transia before I can use this thing?"

"Well, it's actually not necessary. As I said before, I can make a radio transmitter as long as I master the electron tube process."

Moehaha planned to explain the principle in detail, but Ashina, who was blinking with big eyes next to her, bumped her arm, and the physicist reacted immediately.

What are you doing?

Is this intended to teach high school physics to an alien?

"Well, I can guarantee I can make a version that doesn't require wires."

Mengha said succinctly:

"Although radio can also be interfered by bursts of energy, there is no urban terrain on this continent to hinder signal propagation, so its effective distance will be very exaggerated. In extreme cases, the signal you sent in Transia.

It can even be received on the Misty Sea.

Of course, this is my first time to come into contact with psychic energy, so I cannot confirm whether psychic energy will affect electromagnetic signals, and I cannot give you a guarantee.

But if this thing really comes out, at least we can get rid of the computing orb in military intelligence transmission.

You see, halflings invented this thing, right?

Although the halflings guarantee their integrity, how can you be sure that the halflings will not spy on you secretly? Isn't the Thieves Guild, the best intelligence organization on the continent, governed by the halfling Steam Lord?

We always have to be careful, right?

The thing I took out is the kind of thing that may not have any highlights at ordinary times, but once you need to isolate the halfling factor to safely deliver the message, you will know how lucky you are to have my machine."

"Well, you convinced me, my warrior."

Murphy nodded, glanced at the silly, big, black machine next to him, and said:

"I will ask Miriam to give you a sum of money."

"Great!"

Menghaha waved his fist excitedly, but the next second, Murphy gave Mengha the paper with a straight face and said:

"This thing didn't actually turn on just now. You and the evil-minded Ashina put on a show in front of me. This thing can't function properly now, right?

I'm a vampire.

I can feel that this thing is just an empty shell with no complicated devices inside."

"Well"

Mengha shrugged and said:

"It's not shabby to cheat on funds, but I assure you as a physicist that the theories I just mentioned are true.
Chapter completed!
