When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 1200 Combination Boxing

Sharpcha wanted to refute him, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a rebuttal.

Reduce the seven fluorite stones to two, and then encode them in binary.

It increases the difficulty of the initial sender and the final receiver, but significantly reduces the time of intermediate transmission.

For a complete transmission, only one encoding and one decoding are required.

For example, a short message of 100 characters would take the postal carriage 3 days to send.

Using the Brandon signal, it takes 7.5 minutes to send a signal to the destination and 50 minutes to receive it, totaling almost an hour.

If it's two transmissions, then it will take two hours.

After Horn's recommendation and improvement of the signal system, it took one and a half minutes to reach the destination.

But the biggest improvement is in the fact that Horn can send a signal in as little as 2 seconds and operate synchronously.

In other words, the smallest time unit transmitted by the old version of the Brandon signal was 30 seconds.

Because of the operator-managed mode where they observe and operate simultaneously, there is overlap between transmissions of a complete character.

The minimum time unit has been reduced to 2 seconds!
100 characters could be 200 to 400 signals, meaning it would take six and a half to thirteen and a half minutes to receive them.

Including the initial minute and a half, it only took 15 minutes in total.

Send two confirmations, which takes about 30 minutes.

Moreover, Horn's encoding method can encode signals for commonly used letters into extremely short lengths, possibly as short as 4 seconds.

Unlike the Seven Fluorite Transmission Method, which treats all letters the same for 30 seconds.

In this way, the time can be shortened even further.

Sharpchat mentally composed a 100-character message and then did some calculations.

By the Father, the actual time used was estimated to be only 10 minutes!

Seeing Horn's calm expression, Sharpcha broke out in a cold sweat.

He just walked over, glanced at it casually, and in less than half an hour, he created a new system that improved efficiency by more than 50%?

Is this right?
Wait, could the grandson of the saint really be a genius?
After a moment of silence, Sharpcha quietly picked up a piece of grid paper from the table beside him and began to take notes.

At this moment, Brandon, who had been puzzled all along, couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, may I ask a small question?"

"ask."

"This signal is only used for transmitting lottery information. At its current efficiency and level, it should be sufficient, right?"

"You still don't have a broad enough perspective." With a hint of exasperation, Horn opened the window and pointed to the cell tower across the street, asking, "What's that?"

"Signal tower..."

“Wrong, they are messengers who can run 15 kilometers in 10 seconds!” Horn gripped the window. “You know without me saying it, the battlefield is always unpredictable.”

"Ah!" Brandon was immediately overjoyed. "We can cooperate with the military?"

Cooperating with the military almost guarantees a secure job within the Holy Alliance.

“It’s not just the military,” Horn said, gazing into the distance. “It’s also stock exchanges around the world.”

Currently, most of the exchanges in Saint Union are concentrated in port or transportation hub areas.

Exchanges are not just for gamblers and speculators who buy low and sell high in futures trading; they are used to level the playing field for price fluctuations over the long term through centralized trading.

The purpose of futures is not speculation, but to lock in prices to avoid risks and to establish authoritative prices.

The Holy Alliance is constantly traveling by air. Besides the fact that the Imperials themselves are of poor quality and prone to gambling and speculation, it's also due to the information gap caused by geographical and time differences.

Sometimes, the prices of certain goods and the stock price changes of certain companies need to be updated weekly.

Now it's much better; even with a distance of 200 kilometers and two confirmations sent, it only takes 20 to 30 minutes.

This is a time that can make countless speculators weep.

Considering the Holy Alliance's territory and the issue of congestion in communication channels, long-distance goods can be updated daily.

"Then I'm sure all the banks and exchanges would be very willing to invest." Brandon's eyes gleamed with greed. "And what about the subsequent construction..."

Seeing that Brandon either didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, Petit stepped forward and coughed lightly.

"Mr. Brandon, this is such an important project, the waters are very deep, can you handle it?"

Brandon immediately understood, and although he was unwilling, he knew that this was the best outcome.

"Regarding this signal machine project, I plan to establish a new company. Because the resources available from the lottery company are not compatible, I request that only the lottery transmission channel be retained, and a new Sacred Company be established together with the Sacred Property Guardian Bureau..."

Horn nodded upon hearing this; it was only right.

It must be said that Horn was initially a little frustrated when he received the message that he had to deliver one character every 30 seconds.

Because this transmission speed is completely incompatible with his wartime needs.

But when I got there, I realized that with the current productivity, it could have been done even better.

After reducing the transmission time to one-third, although it was still congested, it was enough to meet his requirements.

Horn even thought that since a tower only requires two glowstones.

Could we install multiple signal lights and add more operators to one signal tower?
Could we send messages in parallel? Or could we set up dedicated military routes?

As for distinguishing them, why not just dye the fluorite?
Horn even wondered if a clockwork robot could be used if there was a risk of false positives.

The Brass Discipline Bureau, for example, is currently attempting to use necromancy on clockwork machines.

If you can, putting aside everything else, given that skeleton zombies can farm and mine on their own, they should be able to tell left from right, right?
Is it okay to step on the pedals left and right again?
Even energy issues can be addressed with mercury moons. This low-energy operation should allow one canister of mercury moons to last a week without any problems.

It relies on vampire manipulation, which is a bad thing.

That's thinking too far ahead.

Besides, if wind-up robots already exist, then the telegraph must have been invented by now.

Currently, the construction of these signal lights requires a significant investment, and to reduce expenditures, a portion needs to be allocated to civilian use.

Horn only plans to provide three types of civilian services:
The first function is to deliver information on stocks, prices, futures, and lotteries; the second is to deliver important local news and emergencies; and the third is to deliver personal letters that take no more than 10 minutes to process.

Of course, the priority will be military use and government internal use, and then civilian use.

Moreover, for military and government use, in addition to signal lights, a postal carriage was also required for filing and confirmation.

Barring heavy rain, snow, or fog, information transmission over a distance of 200 kilometers takes only about 10 minutes.

It's like if Horn said something in the Holy Mechanism Court, Xia Lucheng, Black Snake Bay, and Silver Bay City would all know about it an hour later.

Of course, the most important thing was to report military intelligence.

This transmission speed means that if the Royal Court invades Shattered Plains or the New Five Counties, Horn will know within two hours at most.

Once the war begins, everything will be military-grade, no civilian use whatsoever. At most, they might send you price information, lottery tickets, or stock tips, but forget about it.

At that time, only battle reports and military orders will be transmitted through the signal transmission channel.

The Cardinals of the Holy See ordered the Black Serpent Bay Legion to move north, which would take no more than three to five days, but only three to five hours.

This level of communication capability, if it were the Gigi Kingdom leading the Leia army to fight back then, would be equivalent to the fog of war being completely lifted.

You, Lavrov, launched a surprise attack on the first castle, and Xia Lucheng found out half an hour later, and reinforcements began an hour later.

Given the Holy Alliance's mobilization speed and water transport capabilities, by the time Raoul's army reaches the city gates, only six warbands will be waiting to surround him.

In the future, if we can popularize the wind-up locomotive...

If only soldiers are transported, not supplies, and military freight cars are used.

In one trip, half a battle group (2000 people) could be transported across a distance of 200 kilometers in half a day.

If the troops are divided into multiple trains and depart from multiple routes, it is possible to transport tens of thousands of troops in a single day!
As soon as they captured one fortress, a dozen or so vans of soldiers came down to counterattack.

What is it like for an imperial army that marches at an average speed of ten to several tens of kilometers a day to have tens of thousands of troops marching hundreds of kilometers in a single day and pressing down on them?
When we capture prisoners later, Horn will definitely ask him about it.

“The Signal Company, Catherine and Sylph will come to talk to you later.” Horn patted Brandon on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, the Holy Alliance won’t treat you unfairly.”
