Chapter 447 Prospect
"Glorious citizens of Cecil, good afternoon, I am your lord."
The voice from Duke Cecil sounded majestic and low, and the whole square was silent.
Everyone opened their mouths and their eyes widened, staring at the huge holographic image in the center of the square in astonishment and confusion, as if they were watching some miracle falling from the sky.
Even the soldiers standing in the center of the square and guarding next to the communicator had a hint of excitement on their faces: although due to the visual angle of the projection, they could only see a messy spot of light and a part of the clear image, but they knew very well that the content of the image was what was happening at this moment. Their lord was standing in the city of Cecil at this moment, but he actually spread the figure and voice here.
Consul Dedaros also raised his head with a little excitement and whispered to himself: "Sure enough...incredible..."
And the sound that echoed in the square continued after a brief pause:
"...Citizens, I am honored and proud to tell you that the Rock Fortress has been occupied by the heroic and loyal Cecil Combat Corps, and all the rebellious nobles hiding in the fortress have been captured...
“…This land is safe, at least at this moment.
"Citizens, this glory belongs to every Cecil not only the Cecils on the Whitewater River, but also to you who are gathered in front of the holographic projection at this moment, including others who cannot come to the party but still work hard in their respective jobs, including everyone who lives in this land in the southern border, no matter you are now peasants, mercenaries, merchants, knights, officials, serfs, and even slaves, no matter where you once came from, now you will share this glory, you are the cornerstones and pillars of the Principal of Cecil, your hard work and wisdom will make this land stronger and greater...
"But security is not eternal. There are still enemies who are eyeing us, trying to subvert the rebellion of the kingdom, the second royal family that was exiled by the Duke of the Guardian Kingdom and was in name only. The Tifeng outside the borders of the kingdom, and the cultists hidden in the darkness, and even within our public... Our enemies will always be there.
“Let us stay alert and be ready to deal with these threats, keep us strong and never fear these challenges…
"And before the challenge comes, before peace is broken, citizens, actively build and enjoy this great era. What I promise to you will remain valid. Immigrants will receive land, serfs who work hard will gain freedom and their own property, and those who devote themselves to the factory will receive rewards that match their hard work, actively give birth, actively learn, sign up for the army, and make contributions to farming and business. They will also have their own rewards.
"And I will be proud of you."
The picture and sound ended, but the silence in the square continued for a long time, until several minutes later, I didn't know who was the first to cheer in the crowd, followed by the second and the third to cheer.
So everyone in the square cheered.
However, in fact, more than half of the people were just cheering. They had not fully understood what was happening in front of them, nor did they fully understand the meaning of every word of the lord before. They only knew that this was a moment of turbulence and were swept by the surrounding atmosphere and fell into a kind of blind enthusiasm for following the herd, but what does it matter?
For civilians who have almost no entertainment, who can see and have poor news in their lives, they have seen an incredible magical miracle today, saw the lord appearing in the giant projection, heard the lord's speech, heard the news of victory on the front line, and even were greatly encouraged. This is of course worth cheering!
So people cheered, no matter whether they understood or not, and they really felt a little pride in this cheer. Although these people who once belonged to the Earl of Hosman had not yet been exposed to the complete concepts of "glory of labor" and "working to build a new era", the lord said that they were proud of them... that was very glorious.
In the middle of the square, where the government officials stood, a young female government official was moved after hearing the cheers that resounded throughout the square and seeing the enthusiasm of so many people burst out. She murmured to herself: "Is this what the lord said...the power of the people?"
"No, this is just a blind people," said Dedaros, the mayor of Hosman, shook his head, "in the words of the mentor Hetty, this is 'the unthinking people who are easily motivated by the atmosphere and words'. They are still far from truly awakening and relying on their own consciousness to work enthusiastically, and that is the true 'Cecil citizens'."
"Blindly aroused..." The young female government official was a little surprised, but obviously she was also one of the apprentices who had received Hetty's teachings, so she nodded thoughtfully, "It's also... it's still in its infancy..."
"It doesn't matter. Even the people who are temporarily motivated by enthusiasm are good, at least better than their dead waters before," Dedaros said softly. "The Lord once said another sentence, that is, 'Inefficient labor is better than non-working'. A place like Horsman is different from the original Cecil pioneering lord. The people here are much less pressure and have their own way of life. Therefore, if they want to burst out their enthusiasm for construction, sometimes they need some such 'inspiration'. We don't need it to be effective for a long time, as long as it is temporarily effective."
The two government officials ended the conversation, and the cheers and noises in the square gradually weakened. Dedaros followed and with the aid of amplification magic, his voice resounded throughout the square:
"What you just saw in Hosman City is the images and images transmitted by the large magic network communicator. In the next month, we will set up the same public broadcast device in three other places in the city...
"In addition, the 'civil communication points' for ordinary people will be open in the near future. For knowledge about the use of Magic Network communicators, you can wait for soldiers to explain, read, or read the relevant content in the bulletin board and newspaper by yourself.
"Let us thank everyone who works hard in the Magic Network Communications Project, and its inventors and builders."
...
Cecil City, in a temporary "broadcasting hall" built within the Institute of Magical Technology.
The first broadcast of the Magic Network communication era ended, but to be honest, at the beginning of its birth, Gao Wen never thought that its first broadcast content would be his own "speak".
To be honest, what he said was not what he wanted to say the most.
But he knew better that what he was speaking was the most effective during this period.
Propaganda should consider the audience, the audience's worldview, and their understanding and thinking patterns. In this semi-test and semi-formal broadcast, the coverage of Magic Network Communication is the Hosmann region in the west, the Rock Carol Kant line in the north, and extends to the Glentang east. Although the coverage is far from reaching the entire southern border, it is also a considerable range. Within this range, 90% of the audience has just become residents of Cecil.
Unlike the people in Cecil, these "new citizens" have not received modern general education, have not come into contact with the magic industry society, and have not even known many words. What they can understand is the order under the rule of the aristocrats in the old days. If they tell them something too advanced and advanced, they will not only not understand, but may even begin to question the new lord.
Therefore, it is better to motivate and encourage, at least give these "new citizens" some motivation to build a new life.
Gao Wen left the platform where he stood during his speech, and Rebecca, who was guarding a lot of rune substrate monitoring not far away, immediately greeted him: "Sir, Ancestor! You were really imposing just now!"
Gao Wen rubbed Rebecca's hair casually: "How is the signal everywhere?"
"The feedback has been back. Only the signal quality near the Rock Fortress is very poor. I suspect that the relay tower temporarily set up during the war is not effective, or the magic turbulence generated after the collapse of the Rock Fortress's magic shield is still affecting the local magic field. I have notified the Wald Knight in the Fortress and asked him to send a group of magic technicians to collect data from the nearby magic field. When I come back, I will study and study it. In addition, the signals from other places are very good."
"Okay," Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Carmier who was floating not far away, "Camier, thank you for your hard work this time."
Thanks to the ancient arcane master working overtime to adjust the entire Magic Network communication network and leading a group of technicians to work in the Magic Technology Research Institute to create an original "broadcasting hall". Only after Gao Wen and Rebecca returned to the territory did this timely broadcast as soon as possible.
"This is my duty," Carmier bent slightly, then looked at the magic communication terminal in the center of the hall, his tone was filled with emotion, "Signal broadcast... I really didn't expect that I could see it again in this era..."
"You can not only see it, but you can also see it everywhere in the near future." Gao Wen laughed. He was not satisfied with turning such a useful Magic Network communication system into a simple "Lord's Speech Megaphone". Since the idea of "whole country broadcasting" has been proved through experiments that it is feasible, then he has to use this set of things to realize many good things he has come into contact with in his previous life.
Although the current communication devices are still very primitive and the traditional audio-visual recording spells have not yet been mass-produced by magic industry, perhaps he can consider building a "broadcasting and television (magic) network" in some areas of the southern border...
Of course, this idea may have appeared a bit too early. After all, even the Magic Network Communications Bureau in the Government Affairs Department has just established a framework. The newly-taken administrators are still studying the various characteristics of this new thing, and there is no extra manpower or energy to carry out the next step. However, since material technology has been implemented, Gao Wen believes that it is only a matter of time before normalization and practical information broadcasting in the territory.
While Gao Wen, Rebecca and Carmier gathered in the Institute of Magic Technology to study communicators enthusiastically, Nicholas Egg finally completed a new work in the Institute of Mechanical Research in the east of the city.
A cylinder with a smooth surface and a large number of runes on the sides floated in front of him.
Chapter completed!
