Chapter 1932 First Come, First Serve
Sacred? Afraid of Technology exposure?
Landon could laugh to death if someone thought so of him.
There are 10,000 and one things involved with cell phone making, from physical to software. He used Lithium, copper aluminum, iron, silicon, gla.s.s, cobalt, tin, lead, zinc, nickel, silver… you name it… all to make interior and exterior. Let"s talk about the procedures like sand blasting, anti-oxidation, you name it. And know that when any tiny component is added to the main conductor/motherboard, it"s tested in a special way to ensure its programming and functioning just right. Did you know that Tin is sprayed on the exposed areas of the conductor board template? Do you know what purity and concentration is needed? Let"s not forget the SIM CARD. Without the SIM CARD and with no internet, the phone is only good for reading already downloaded items and recording voice notes and messages. Note that the phones now do not take Pictures. They can record you singing and store your voice.
Without the internet or Signal for calling, you can only look through downloaded items like books, record your voice, play games, and do other basic stuff. In the end, Landon was not scared that anyone would steal his technology… at least not now. Without his help or access to specific Baymardian books only allowed for Baymardians, they won"t be able to grasp anything yet.
It would take at least 5 years for them to start getting insights, and another few decades for them to fully get it. .
What"s more, Landon didn"t want to stop cell phones from leaving the sh.o.r.es of Baymard because once he improves internet and Phone signal technology and makes it so that even people in Mirvanna can access it… then won"t they be able to use their devices wherever they go in the world? With the Galactic ear coming, Landon wanted a connection as strong as Luke Skywalker when connecting from one far planet to another. If they can"t even conquer this distance of connection between continents, then how dare he talk of entering the Galactic era anytime soon? In the end, Landon feared no one, allowing those who buy the phones outright to take it out. He also knew that the world"s of many a.s.sa.s.sin"s would change when they get their hands on the phones that have the ability to record voice. But he felt this was inevitable, and a double-edged sword. Just as bad people can use it for evil, good people could use it for protection too. Citizens can also record disturbing matters, noise or threats and report to the law enforcement at once. Know that back on Earth, black powder was invented to help farmers clear fields. However, it was eventually used for war in the wrong hands. A simple kitchen knife can be used for just cutting onions in the hands of a simple person. But it could also be used to stab others when a villain touches it. Everything in this world was a double-edged sword, and Landon understood this more than anyone else. But while Cellphones would now become very popular, this doesn"t mean Landlines were useless. As a matter of fact, most businesses will still prefer to keep Landlines running since they don"t need to be charged and won"t go off. .what"s more, Landlines are stationary, meaning someone will one day take the landline out of the office by accident after putting it in their pockets. Additionally, Landlines have more Voicemail capacities too, especially for a Business. And Landlines can easily redirect calls. A secretary can pick up a call and with a clock of a b.u.t.ton, transfer the call to one of the many offices.
Landlines offer consistent and clear call quality and have better reliability for emergencies. In short, its connection is the most secure and stronger since it doesn"t depend on signal. Of course Landlines would be used in the office rooms, but company cell phones will still be given out, especially to those working in construction sites. Bottom line, both cellphones and landlines were items needed by the public. …
Like so, 4 hours had gone by in a flash, with several people already hot and bothered by the unfairness of their situation.
"This is unfair! Why do I need 3 people to co-sign for me? Give me a cellphone now!" "Bah! You Non-treaty b.a.s.t.a.r.ds should just give up! Who asked your monarchs not to sign treaties with Baymard? Or do you think it is our monarchs who are fools to do so?" "Hmph! The way I see it, you guys are just taking s.p.a.ce in the line! What"s the point in going into the store if you can"t buy one? Step back so some of us can go in and get our phones!!" "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah~" (~w~)
….
It was 8:52 and the crowd was already rowdy as h.e.l.l. Like sardines, they were packed and swimming around, separate to get ahead. And just then, the ma.s.sive door opened, and a made-up heavenly sound bellowed in their ears. "Welcome guests…" The Host began, already having people cursing his way. "Hurry it up or we will run over you! What? Do you think I have all day here?" "Mr. Host, I see that you don"t want to live long. So if you ding hurry it up, I swear I will fulfill your wis.h.!.+" "_" [The Host who had no tears but wanted to cry]
Why was it him who picked the shorter end of the straw? What sort of bad luck is he having to be a host at this grand launch? (:T0T:)
You don"t understand. 4 days ago, their supervisor gathered them all and literally bundled toothpicks together. And then, their supervisor alongside everyone reached out at one to pull the toothpicks out. Lo and behold, it was he who got the s.h.i.+rt stick. And now here he was, addressing the rowdy bunch. The staff smiled wryly when thinking of how ridiculous he must look. He had pillows strapped to his belly, back and neck while talking with everyone. But so what? A great man once said: Safety first. BLAH-blah-BLAH Blah-BLAH.
That was all many heard, until the annoying host finally raised the green flag high. "There it is… there is it… "
Instantly, everyone"s eyes beamed wildly. And before the host could lower the flag like they do in racing tracks, several people had already stormed forward. "MINE!!"
First come, first serve.
