Garratt's Voice and Infiltration

The extraordinary lighthouses still shone brightly, but Technological Dawn seemed to have suddenly slammed the switch down, scattering blinding light and heat across the entire Material World overnight.

Saint Evan City, Long Island.

Tap, tap, tap.

Beneath a massive receiving antenna built from steel and shaped like bat wings, a desk-sized machine flashed its indicator lights and, powered by electricity, spat out a sheet of white paper covered in writing.

An Electrical Engineer carefully picked up the paper and showed it to her companions.

It read:

"Sea Origin Calendar, Year 196, winter, December 30. Beckler City. Clear weather.

Hey, folks, anyone want black forest ham from Grin's Restaurant on Central Avenue tonight? Preorder while supplies last!"

"Hahaha, it worked!"

"After three rounds of adjustments, cross-Black Sea communication has finally succeeded!"

"Oh! Hooray!"

A group of Electrical Engineers and wizards who had received little help from Evan and completed the breakthrough independently cheered in unison, especially the Electrical Engineers involved in the project.

This was the first time in history that ordinary people had achieved real-time communication across the Black Sea without using extraordinary powers or artifacts. Its significance was extraordinary.

Perhaps before long, some of them would be promoted to Second-Order Formal Extraordinary Persons one after another.

Just like the previous Radio Broadcast, the information receiver remained on Long Island, but the signal transmitter had moved from Far Sail Territory at the duchy's southernmost tip to a transmission tower at St. James's Palace in Faletis, on the other side of the Black Sea.

After all, discussing the transmission range of electromagnetic waves without considering signal quality was just nonsense.

Restricted by the harsh atmospheric conditions over the Black Sea, the fledgling technology could barely transmit voice signals directly. Even after conversion, it would be accompanied by a heap of static.
