    Dous looked around. All the people here were either the members of the Highest Council or his student, and they could all be trusted.


    So Dous smiled and asked, “a package n? You’ve been thinking about this for a long time?”


    Dous worked all the way through and finally established the Congress of Magic. His theoretical system had influenced not only sorcerers generation after generation, but also even his enemies including the Church and the vampires. Whether speaking of intelligence or wisdom, he ranked top three in this world. Therefore, although he did not know Lucien as well as Fernando did, he could still find some clues to Lucien’s real intention in this single sentence.


    Cheeky as he was, Lucien did not mind that his true intention was detected by the two grand arcanists. He said with a smile, “firstly, as for satellitemunication... I’ve read your article, Sir. If we want to build amunication domain that covers the entire continent and the oceans, we have two choices. Option A: The satellites’ orbital nes need to be above the Nortnd and the South Ice-ocean, so we need at least two artificials. Option B: we put a synchronous orbit satellite above the right ascension...”


    The arcanists present were all experts in Astrology, so Lucien did not exin in details, but only presented the outline of his n.


    “... But the best way would be tobine the two options together. And to guarantee the quality ofmunication, the more satellites we have, the better it is. Of course, because of the high cost of producing an artificial and space jumping, we have to do it step by step and turn it into a long-term n. I propose that we name it Constetion n — The n of making constetions around the world using artificials.


    “... Also, we better set up apany for this and charge every sorcerer who needs to use the satellites topensate for the costs. Thepany will sell special products for satellitemunication. If anyone wants to make one on their own, they still have to buy a license for it.”


    As an authority in Electromaics, Fernando slightly frowned after he heard Lucien’s speech. “The problem still hasn’t been solved. To ensure the rity of the signals, a higher standard of Electromaism Messaging will have to be adopted when the satellites cover the entire continent. Then again, only sorcerers above the fifth circle would be able to use it, which only ounts for a very small proportion of the entire sorcerer poption, since few middle-rank or low-rank sorcerers could afford it.”


    “So we should charge a bit more, and open some unimportant satellites to the rich nobles. Presumably, they should wee the convenience and they can certainly afford it,” said Lucien.


    He had not mentioned the next steps yet: to build magic base stations. He would wait until there were enough satellites.


    s up in the sky were hard to strike, but base stations on the ground were easy targets. Only when the nobles started relying on the convenientmunication method would they willingly defend the base stations.


    Lucien continued. “As for the need of the low-rank and middle-rank sorcerers, I havee up with a new second-circle spell called Electromaic File Transfer by simplifying Mr. Fernando’s Electromaism Messaging. Although it can only work in a limited range, and cannot support real-time calls, it can still serve the function of transferring documents simr to the magic circles inside a tower. I think it should be enough for them right now.”


    This so-called Electromaic File Transfer was in fact radiotelegraphy. As for the invention of inte, it was only of very limited value because of the existence of Secondary Telepathic Bond, so Lucien had not spent time to invent the spell.


    “A second-circle spell... Then most nobles with titles and manors should be able to use it.” Norman nodded slightly.


    “Yes, it is going to be one of our products for poprization,” said Lucien in a businessman tone like that of Arthur. “Also, inspired by the power lines that have been installed recently, I’ve got a new idea. The high requirements of Electromaism Messaging are from the fact that this spell relies on electromaic waves transmitting in the air. During the process, the waves can encounter all kinds of environments andndforms, and they are thus weakened. To make up for this loss, we have to enhance the signals by using moreplicated magic circles.


    “... Using satellites as ry stations can be one solution. And there’s also another one: To set up exclusive pathways for the transmission of electromaic waves just like the power lines. So the transmission will be limited within the wires, and we could avoid theplex environments when installing the lines. Where the wires join, we set up magic circles for selecting and forwarding signals.


    “... If the wires can extend to every city, every manor, and every house, it will be a great benefit to the ordinary people. The only problems are that the poprization requires a huge amount of investment in the beginning, and the Church can easily destroy the wires.”


    His fingers showing numbers, Dous said, “to make thise true in Holm, the first step of establishing the wires itself would be a long-term n... something that has to be measured in decades, not to mention other countries like Brianne and those across the strait.


    “... But in the many decades toe, based on the current speed at which we are developing, we should be able to suppress the power of the Church within the Kingdom of Holm. In this case, maybe your n can be partly carried out first in the prosperous ces like Rentato and Paphos. An ordinary person can talk to her friend through an alchemical item.”


    Then Dous smiled warmly. “There are multipleyers in your n, Lucien. The artificials formunication cover sorcerers above the fifth circle, major nobles, leading businessmen; Electromaic File Transfer targets at low- and middle-rank sorcerers, smaller nobles, rich business people; and there is also the establishment of wires aiming at serving apprentices, dpidated nobles, andmon citizens. You’ve taken all of them into consideration.”


    “In fact, the n for setting up wires can still be further divided into two parts: one is to enable users to talk through wires directly, and the other is like using Electromaic File Transfer. Thetter has an even lower requirement for the terminal magic circle. Also, we can first open up service branches in some smaller cities for now. When people are in need, theye to us to use the products. In this way, we won’t need to wait until the wires are poprized to most of the families to begin our n.” Lucien pictured the image ording to the images of earth in his mind.


    The feeling that he was able to change this world gave him a thrilling feeling.


    “Good. When mostmoners start to benefit from magic, their belief in the Church will be shaken as never before. We need to be prepared for counterattacks from the Church.” Dous nodded in satisfaction.


    Obviously, the president and Lucien’s teacher were also aware of the fact that the poprization 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 n.


    “I’ve been working on producing a new, affordable alchemical item. It can receive electromaic signals within a certain range and turn it into voice. Although it cannot amodate point-to-pointmunications, 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. Amon 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 y 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 eximed 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.


    Dous released a sigh. “Very good. You shall name the program then.”


    All of them present were aware of the value of the n.


    “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 apany for turning all the alchemical items andmunication ns that you just mentioned into real. The shares are divided ording 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 Electromaism Messaging. Dous, Fernando, and the Prophet would be responsible forunching the satellites. Luciana and Norman would be the ones to carry out the specific ns and make investments. All of them, including the sorcerers that were going to join them in the future, only owned 75 percent of thepany.


    Dous agreed as he was grateful to Lucien who suggested the artificial project. He smiled and asked, “what about the name for thepany?”


    “Allyn Telephone and Telegram Company...” Lucien responded subconsciously, then he hurriedly exined. “... It means using electromaic waves tomunicate and transmit messages.”


    After drawing the basic n, Dous looked at Lucien. “So for the applications of artificials, 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 n for transmitting electromaic waves. Secondly, we have to put more defensive magic circles to protect thes, including Invisibility and Orbital Transfer,” replied Lucien without hesitation. “Thirdly, since thes are high above, most attacks from them will be weakened greatly before they reach the ground, so we have toe 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 would be too high.


    “Fourthly, we can use artificials to monitor our targets on the ground...”


    Lucien indeed had aplete package n. 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.” Dous was affected by God’s Arrival, and he sounded a bit tired after the initial spirit-lifting buffering expired.


    However, standing beside Dous, 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!”
