Chapter 1831 Move Over! New Tech Coming Soon!
Hehhehehehe~
Looking at Tim"s blooming face, Jonathan knew his majesty must be here. Already, Jonathan was taking out his pen and clicking its head, knowing that the Monnet his majesty walked in, his boss, Tim, would start the meeting without any structure. Tim was too excited to go through "Meeting Procedures."
So since he was the one to take down meeting minutes,... Well, you couldn"t very well miss a thing, could he? "Welcome! Welcome, your Majesty!!!" Sure enough, Tim was now standing before the door, grabbing both of Landon"s hands with his large muscular palms. Landon was also helpless, but now used to it, "Old buddy, you never change. How"s the family?" "Never change? Your majesty, I don"t know what you"re talking about. Family? Yes, yes, yes… they are fine. But why are we talking about me when we have better things to discuss?"
"_"
Haven"t you ever heard of curtsy? Landon had black lines on his forehead. Do you expect him to just waltz right in and get down to business without even saying h.e.l.lo? Who does that? And old man… Why are you dragging him so hard? Landon looked at Jonathan, also seeing the helplessness in his eyes. Forget it. Let the old man have his way. Bahahahahhahahah~
"Sit! Sit! Sit, your Majesty. Make your b.u.t.tocks feel at home and allow your mouth to open up nicely." Tim slapped the table hard, gesturing for Landon to hurry up. It was amazing how many-a-time, he forgot that Landon was his monarch, despite him saying: Your Majesty here and there. Seeing his face growing impatient with excitement, Landon slowly reached for the brown envelope inside his coat. The envelope appeared for less than a second, but was already in Tim"s hand. Tim was like a hawk doing a magic trick, making it vanish from Landon"s hands and reappear in his. Then, his body began to quale, his lips began trembling and his entire demeanor changed as if he was holding some national treasure. "Thank you, ancestors, for making me live another day." Landon rolled his eyes, already used to Tim"s ancestor prayers whenever he held vital doc.u.ments. He hasn"t even opened it yet, and he was already in a cult-like zone of prayers and wors.h.i.+p. Rip!
He tore the envelope open very carefully, like one operating on a bomb. Sure enough, his majesty could never disappoint him. Spreading all unclipped doc.u.ments on the table,
This… this… this… (*#*)
Tim looked between Landon and the doc.u.ments, opening and closing his mouth, and gasping for air in horrendous shock. "Your majesty… your Majesty… Are… Are you saying what I think you"re saying?"
Jonathan"s curiosity also got the best of him, causing him to also freeze. And soon, he too exclaimed in question. Soon, even he forgot his ident.i.ty. "YOUR MAJESTY!... Are you… are you saying we will soon be able to walk around Baymard with landline telephones in our pockets?" This was huge news! Landline telephones in their pockets. Do you know how crazy the idea was? It was like imagining a car in your pocket on the go. The invention of the telephone was just as big as the invention of homes, cars, and other great technologies. Soon, Jonathan frowned, "But your Majesty, how can we have landline phones in our pockets when they are mostly corded?" Sure, there are also cordless landline phones available, but even if you take the cordless handset out, don"t forget that these phones still have stationary fixed ends that they sit/rest on. These stationary parts are mostly attached to the stationary power source and cables around the house. So how is it possible for anyone to be able to carry an entire landline out in their pockets?
(0@0)
This… This… Gulp~
Jonathan swallowed hard. This was too unscientific! .
Don"t blame Jonathan for being a nonbeliever. Till now, a part of him still told him the project was bound to fail. Because no matter how he wrapped his brain around the idea, he just couldn"t see it becoming a reality. Jonathan was also forgetting that years ago, if anyone could tell him that metal s.h.i.+ps could float, or vehicles could move without horses, he would definitely swear to drink his own blood before he ever believes it. Seeing the reaction from the duo, Landon chuckled, knowing that sometimes, seeing is believing. Even with all the successful projects he had accomplished, the duo couldn"t imagine how the bulky Landline phone set could fit in their tiny pockets. The one that made it even more unbelievable, was when Landon said they will be able to put the device in the chest pockets of their s.h.i.+rts. … Who am I? Where am I? What am I? Was it already April Fool"s Day? "Your majesty, are you sure you"re not talking about Walkie Talkies instead?" Landon shook his head, "No. For one, Walkie Talkies provide instant communication by simply holding down a b.u.t.ton… Unlike cell phones, which require you to dial a number and wait for the other party to answer their phone, these types of radios can instantly put you in contact with another person." "I see…" Tim and Jonathan slowly nodded in understanding, "Just like the landline phones… But with the portability Walkie Talkies have, right?" "Correct. Just like landlines, everyone will get their own unique cellular numbers. But in the case of walkie talkies, you don"t need unique numbers, just tune to the channel."
Again, unlike cell phones, walkie talkies don"t necessarily need cell towers. Walkie talkies have internal antennas and other internal components that make it an all-round cell tower on its own. Cell phones need cell towers but Walkie talkies have their inbuilt system that makes them usable even in places that you would never expect to exist. The power of radio frequencies is true. In movies, especially movies like: Journey to the Center of the Earth," you see the protagonist tampering with spoons, bendable iron parts and other objects to find a frequency for connection. Look! Even in the heart of the jungle, far, far away from civilization,... or even down, down below in the center of the world, they try to find a radio frequency they can hope on. Listening to his majesty, but Jonathan and Tim seemed to understand bits of this incredible project. But now the question was:... Can it be done?
(?~?) "Alright, enough chit chatting," Landon said, rubbing his palms mischievously. "Jonathan, take notes!" It"s time they officially begin the meeting for one of the greatest projects of all time… The invention of the Mobile Phone!
