Electrical Research Institute, Information Technology Building.
“Everyone!”
William clapped his hands, signaling everyone in the laboratory to gather around, “I have an announcement to make!”
The crowd looked confused.
“Su Lu, come forward!”
William called Su Lu to step forward and handed him a document, “Your direct current paper has passed the review and you have been awarded 15 points. Therefore… from now on, you are officially a researcher. Congratulations!” Applause!
He started the applause, with Andrew and Cecilia quickly following suit, as did the other researchers.
Only Victor looked gloomy, but still raised his hand.
“Here are your points; they have been recorded in the files.”
After everyone finished speaking, William handed a small bag to Su Lu.
“Is this… a token currency?”
Su Lu looked at it, his face slightly reddened.
Inside the small bag were silver tokens, light in weight, but not plastic. On the front was a fancy ‘L’ symbol.
One could even sense a mysterious aura from them.
Such a currency was even more difficult to counterfeit than silver dollars.
“The actual points have been recorded in the file and will only increase, not decrease unless academic fraud is proven! These tokens, these are for you to use, there are 15 in total!”
With a stern face, William advised Su Lu, “I suggest you… don’t use them right away. Instead, save them carefully, cherish them as you would your eyes!”
“Thank you, Professor. I understand.”
Su Lu bowed politely in thanks.
He knew that these points could be exchanged for Golden Dragon or regular research outputs in the outer academy, but if accumulated, they might even grant direct access to the core internals and perhaps even exchange for Transcendent knowledge.
Professor William was clearly providing a kindly reminder.
“Alright… Everyone, continue with your work!”
Forcefully squeezing out a grin, Professor William returned to his office.
Su Lu glanced at Victor but didn’t consider him as a rival, then followed into the office.
“What is it? Our official researcher, do you have something else?”
William was sipping a coffee, “The official researcher’s weekly salary is three Golden Dragons. If a research project is successful, dividends can be earned… are you worrying about the choice of project?”
“That’s not it; it’s about the previous experiment, the electrolysis information transmission…”
After considering his words, Su Lu spoke up.
Even though William sometimes had a stern face, he was quite fair and upright.
“I have already given up on that experiment!”
Mentioning this, William sighed and put down his coffee, “Indeed… that method consumes too much and cannot be practically applied. Besides proving the possibility of current information transmission, it does not have any other value.”
“Hmm?”
Su Lu was startled.
He thought that this William was stubborn, the kind who would only back down once he had suffered severe consequences. Has he changed?
Seemingly aware of his doubts, William continued, “Lord Sleydon Watt convinced me of this. He used… um… some method to demonstrate the prospects of this experiment.”
“So that’s what happened!”
Su Lu reflected on the powers of the Mysterious side.
As the 9th seat on the Green Tree Council, Lord Sleydon Watt most likely was an occupational person on the path of [Arcane], whose thought processes and reasoning abilities were formidable. He might even be able to simulate an experiment using spells.
Previously, he was unsure about the path to take, but now that the direction was clear, he could discern the dead-end and viable paths without too much difficulty.
Only someone like this, at the helm, could ensure the steady progress of the research institute. Even if they strayed, they would not deviate too much.
“Also, the Lord mentioned you!”
William’s face was full of admiration. It was clear that he admired Sleydon Watt greatly, “He read your paper and praised you for your ‘talent!!”
“Really?” Su Lu immediately feigned a humble surprise.
Slevdon Watt, the sole dominant figure in the Electrical Research Institute, a compliment from him was an unparalleled honor for a regular researcher; if he appeared too calm, it would seem off.
“Yes, you need to keep working hard!”
Looking at Su Lu, William left something unsaid.
Lord Sleydon Watt, was even considering taking a student. Not in the ordinary sense, but a real [Apprentice]!
It was precisely because of this that he had not directly taken Su Lu as his student.
Otherwise, after Su Lu became an official researcher, he would have received a
hint.
‘A talented, lucky youngster!’
William thought to himself and waved his hand.
Even though one avenue for the concept of electrical information transmission had failed, he did not feel disheartened. Instead, he was ready to start researching in another direction instantly.
He firmly believed that quick, convenient, and affordable information transmission using electrical current could be achieved!
This was not just a researcher’s confidence in himself but also because this was a topic directly from the 9th seat!
The general direction could never be wrong; it was just the method that needed to be adjusted. As for that electrolysis terminal, let it go to hell!
“Also… professor!”
Su Lu, who was about to leave, paused, “I have an idea about this experiment! ”
“Oh? Tell me about it!”
William’s attitude this time was different from the last.
Unsure if it was because he had accepted his failure, or because Su Lu had become an official researcher.
“Regarding that transmission experiment… I’ve been thinking, why do we use more than thirty lines? It’s too wasteful, and the electrolysis reaction at the terminal is not very stable… Why not use only one line?”
Su Lu took a deep breath.
“One? How would you display information?” asked William, instinctively shaking his head.
“One is enough. The electrical current itself contains information, even if it’s just a simple ‘on’ and ‘off’. This can be controlled by a switch…what we need to do is to encode the original information and transmit it through this signal. As long as it’s received and decrypted at the end, it should work.”
On and off, only two variables, could build a whole world! That was the charm of binary!
William felt as if he had been struck by thunder and murmured to himself, “Yes… After encoding and decoding, one line would be enough to carry information… this greatly reduces variables, making success much more feasible and consumption much less… it’s perfect! Why… why didn’t I think of this?”
Scientific research sometimes is just like a thin curtain.
Seeing this, Su Lu smiled and handed over his real paper, “Here’s a paper on this aspect, please submit it for review!”
William took a look, “A Concept of Coding and Telegraphy? You’ve already finished it?”
“Yes.”
Su Lu confidently affirmed. freewebnov(e)l.com
After observing William for a while, he felt that the man was trustworthy. Besides, he had to go through this process anyway.
If something went wrong, he still had the ace card of wireless communications, so there was nothing to fear..
