Chapter 119: Radio
As the sun was setting.
Meng Qingwu returned with a face full of exhaustion.
With clothing that was as white as snow, a tall physique, and a mature aura, she was just like a perfect immortal. An ancient bell hung on her waist that rang with her every step. Although the sound wasn't loud, it still had a strong penetrating power that easily snuck into people's hearts.
There were eighteen silent black clothed people meticulously surrounding her, just like loyal guards.
As the Miracle Commerce vice president, Meng Qingwu was in charge of management for the entire company. Even though Chu Tian was the president, he spent the majority of his time playing around and did not help manage the company at all.
But, Meng Qingwu was very pleased with her current life.
She felt that just these past two months was much more fulfilling than the last twenty years!
When Meng Qingwu stepped into her house.
"Hey!"
A voice suddenly sounded out.
This voice startled Meng Qingwu!
Because Meng Qingwu was still an Awakened Soul Cultivator. Although she didn't have a strong battle potential, it was still hard for people to approach her without her sensing them.
This voice had suddenly sounded out without any warning. Even after hearing the voice, Meng Qingwu could not sense the aura of a living person.
"Elder sister, it's me, Yingying. Is that you coming home?"
Meng Qingwu revealed a confused expression. This sound wasn't just anyone, it was actually her little sister, Meng Yingying. Looking at where the source of the sound was, she found that it was coming from a black crystal stone on the living room table.
"What is this thing?"
This piece of crystal stone was completely black and it was just like jade. She had never seen this kind of material before.
When Meng Qingwu was about to grab the crystal stone out of curiosity.
Chu Tian's panicked voice came from the stone, "Young miss, young miss, you're finally back! You have to save us!"
Meng Qingwu showed a look of disbelief, "Chu Tian……How, how are you also inside this thing!"
Chu Tian's humble voice came from the stone, "Yingying and I suffered a terrifying curse and we were sucked into the stone, being sealed within! Help us! I don't want to stay as a piece of stone!"
"What?" Meng Qingwu was terrified, she had no way of understanding what had happened. She quickly asked, "What happen to you guys? How could a normal person just be sucked into a stone! What do I need to do?"
At this time, Yingying's laughter sounded from the stone.
She also heard Chu Tian telling her, "Don't laugh."
Meng Qingwu's umber brows wrinkled. She was not a fool. Once she examined the stone, she found that there was a large rune carved onto it and there was even a small source energy battery placed inside.
This was probably just a prank!
Alright, this bastard hasn't been back in all these days!
The first thing he does once he returns is make fun of me!
Even an obedient person like Yingying is being corrupted by being with him!
It had to be known that Yingying in the past never had the courage to prank her elder sister!
Meng Qing gave a meaningful cold smile and said, "Alright tell me then, what do I need to do to save you guys?"
"Hai, hai. Young miss, this is an ancient curse. As long as young miss says the release incantation, we will be released from here!" Chu Tian paused and then said, "The release incantation which must be shouted out loud is, Chu Tian, I love you for ten thousand years…..Aiyo!"
Chu Tian gave a painful cry and angrily said, "Little girl, why are you kicking me?"
"Elder sister, don't listen to this fellow's nonsense!" Meng Yingying's indignant voice came from the stone, "We are in the back yard. Come quickly, there's something good here!"
Chu Tian and Meng Yingying were standing in the courtyard.
"Elder sister, over here!"
Meng Yingying called out to Meng Qingwu, but the sound was also transmitted through the stone.
Meng Qingwu looked at the crystal stone in her hand several times and then revealed a look of disbelief. She arrived in front of them with a puzzled face. She had already noticed the little tower sticking out of the ground, "What is this thing?"
"No need to be surprised, this is Chu Tian's latest masterpiece!" Meng Yingying said with an excited face, "The little tower and the stone in your hand were all made with the Magnetic Sound Stone. We can use the Magnetic Sound Stone to make a radio!"
Meng Qingwu was utterly confused, "Magnetic Sound Stone? Radio?"
Chu Tian gave a simple introduction, "This magnetic sound tower is a wonderful thing. It can convert sound waves into electromagnetic waves transmissions, creating a magnetic field that covers an area. Any Magnetic Sound Stones in the area engraved with a special array will be able to receive these waves and turn them back into sound waves."
Meng Qingwu felt that her brain was too small.
There was actually something this mysterious under the heavens?
Chu Tian continued to shock Meng Qingwu's mind, "How about this, if we installed Magnetic Sound Stone speakers in every corner of South Sky City, then we make a big enough magnetic sound tower to cover the entire city, what do you think will be the result of that?"
Meng Qingwu immediately understood, "We could broadcast ourselves across the entire city!"
Chu Tian gave a snap, "That's right! As long as there is a broadcast tower, we can start making radios! Once every family has a radio, we can broadcast our voices to everyone. We can broadcast ourselves to every corner of the city and into everyone's homes."
Meng Qingwu was trembling.
God!
This was an incredible invention!
It's significance was far beyond the electrical lamp!
Meng Yingying ignorantly scratched her head, "But what use does it have!"
But one couldn't blame Meng Yingying, for people of this era, they were limited in their thought processes. When meeting something brand new, they had no way of quickly accepting it, so they had no way of discovering their potential.
Meng Qingwu was not the same. Meng Qingwu had a high comprehension, so she didn't even think before saying, "Yingying, saying that is wrong. The invention of the radio is enough to cause a revolution! A revolution in media!"
"Media?"
"The current communication method of the continent is by paper. Regardless of a large kingdom or a small kingdom, people can only gain information through a single method which is reading documents or newspapers. Once this invention is released, everything will be changed."
Chu Tian nodded, "The young miss is right. With this invention, Miracle Commerce will have a new media outlet and it will be a brand new media outlet. We can build our own broadcasting station and make large amounts of radios, letting the people become our audience."
"Just imagine it. Once Miracle Commerce produces these radios and releases them for sale, thousands to tens of thousands of people will buy them. There will no longer be a need to go out to get information, they can just get the latest news from the radio itself. Just imagine how much easier everyone's lives will be!"
"We can also create a portable radio in the future which people can take around with them. Then no matter the time or place, even if they were in the wilderness, they would be able to turn on the radio. As long as they don't go outside of the signal range, they would receive the broadcast. Think about how convenient this would be!"
Meng Yingying felt that she underestimated how serious this was!
This radio seemed like it was really convenient!
Especially the portable radio that Chu Tian had described. As long as one carried that around, they could listen to the broadcast and learn all the latest news. Wasn't this a very convenient thing to have?
This was a completely new form of media.
It also contained a very high market value.
Chu Tian continued, "Once the radio is introduced, it will have quite a large impact on the conventional media forms. But not only will the radio effect communication media, it will also push society into the age of information. Not only can it make life easier, it can also provide entertainment and promote the development of civilization!"
Meng Qingwu had not thought about it that deeply, "The radio also has these kinds of uses?"
Chu Tian gave a faint smile, "Of course. The electromagnetic towers can have different arrays which causes different signals to be sent out. So, the radio can be switched between different channels to provide a wide variety of content.
"We can create a channel just for broadcasting news. We can also establish a channel for gossip news, a channel for special shopping, a channel that teaches all the latest cultivation techniques, and a channel that dedicated to the latest technology. Do you understand what this means?"
Meng Qingwu nodded and she spoke with a trembling voice, "You mean…..everyone will become our loyal listeners!"
"That's right!" Chu Tian revealed a mysterious smile, "The radio has its own charm and will attract a faithful audience. Various stars can be born in various fields. With this kind of popularity and admirers, Miracle Commerce will establish a strong social following. At that time, who would dare to go against Miracle Commerce?"
Meng Qingwu could not imagine it.
After this technology was distributed, what kind of picture would that be!
In this era, there was a lack of entertainment. There were not many exchanges between people and the land they lived in were barren. People had no forms of entertainment and access to information was very limited.
Chu Tian suddenly introduced the radio into this era which was supposed to come several thousands of years later, advancing the technology of this era. He had no idea what kind of reaction would occur because of this!
"This technology is still in the experimental phase. The Electromagnetic Crystal Stones we got from Tianchen Commerce was too little, we've already used them all. We need to acquire Electromagnetic Crystal Stones in mass quantities and use them to refine Magnetic Sound Stones."
This wasn't a problem!
As long as they had the completed technology in their hands!
In terms of materials and labor, with the way Miracle Commerce was growing, it was not hard to provide.
Meng Qingwu pondered for a few minutes before saying, "With this kind of sensational invention, it would be best if we didn't announce this to South Sky City yet!"
"Why?"
Meng Qingwu replied, "Miracle Commerce has already reached the peak in South Sky City, so I think it is time for us to move up a step. We should go to Central State to enter a new world and push our company to a new level!"
"Go to Central State?" Chu Tian hesitated a second before nodding his head, "Perhaps it is time!"
Meng Qingwu said, "The Miracle Commerce Store is about to open and the electric lamps have just been released, so I want to take care of these first. After that, we'll make our plans to march into Central State!"
"Alright!"
Chu Tian did not have a single complaint!
He had to go to Central State sooner or later!
It was a complicated place where many families resided, there were also the Central State Four Young Masters. Once Chu Tian entered Central State, there would definitely be another great massacre!
