Chapter XXIII

Closing the book, Phoenix looked at Love, the shorthand quill and beige notebook he held in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 I'm afraid that the official report has not yet been written, and it is really inappropriate for such an important report to be dictated directly.

"That's right," he understood Phoenix's doubts in the blink of an eye, "Formal report," he frowned, "we don't know how long it will take to finish." But we've already established the results, and the broadcast stone is not an extremely difficult technology, and if needed, we can deploy it globally in about 10 to 15 years. ”

"Are you sure?" asked Phoenix, earnestly.

"Yes. His answer was remarkably simple.

Phoenix nodded and said, "Gather everyone for a meeting." ”

The people quickly gathered in the conference room, but a few of them were unconscious, and according to those around them, they made a bet to drink a barrel of leprechaun wine in an hour. In the past few days, so many families have gathered in Wanbang City, and they have already begun to compete secretly in private. It's just that limited to the current situation, it is not clear who is friend or foe, and everyone is very restrained, betting and dueling with each other on some innocuous issues.

"That carried them out. With a wave of Phoenix's hand, the two house-elves immediately left with a few people and closed the door by the way.

All eyes were on Love, his hair disheveled, with a peculiar smell on his body, and a map of the world behind him. Apparently he had something to tell everyone.

"This meeting will be the highest level of secrecy, please pay attention!" Love reminded first, "the content of today's meeting. He tapped on the world map behind him, and a few words appeared on it: Operation Execution.

"The goal of the plan is to preemptively strike and win the initiative in the war after the repeal of the Secrecy Act in the future, on the premise that no peace with the Muggles can be reached by any means for the foreseeable time. He tapped on the map again, and the background turned into a blackboard, "The heart of the plan is the radio stone." I know that not everyone in this room is aware of this. ”

He pulled out a small, lemon-colored stone, which floated silently above his palm, spinning itself at a slow pace.

This is a detailed introduction, please read carefully. "More than a dozen documents flew into everyone's hands, with a small stone attached.

Phoenix was intently studying the cigarette butt in his hand and the contents of the document at hand, and he knew it all right, after all, the plan was drawn up by himself.

After the first radio station appeared in New York in 1906, wizarding enthusiasts soon appeared, and the first broadcaster appeared in the wizarding world before Muggles could put it into practice. It didn't end well, and it was soon forced to close for serious violations of the International Confidentiality Regulations.

Enthusiasts have improved the original broadcast stone at an astonishing rate.

The earliest broadcast stones had huge flaws and could have a huge impact once used. When the first experiment was launched, communication between the London Telegraph Company and the outside world was cut off - thankfully, Muggles thought it was just a serious machine failure and did not investigate it deeply.

The improved broadcast stone has a resonance effect. Rough stones that have been forged through alchemy, no matter how far apart, you speak to a radio stone, and all the broadcast stones will hear you, and will not cause harm to Muggle equipment - specific business operations, and many other magic involved, but this is beyond the scope of discussion.

Importantly, the original broadcast stone could interfere with Muggle electronics.

Some members of the wizarding community were fascinated by Muggle televisions and wished they had their own television channels. The project was only in its early stages, as the Ministry of Magic did not approve of broadcasting content from the wizarding world on Muggle devices, which would (they felt) seriously undermine the International Confidentiality Regulations. Some argue that the Ministry's decision is inconsistent and unfair, as many radio stations have been legally modified to be used exclusively by wizards to broadcast regular wizarding programs. The Ministry of Magic acknowledges that Muggles sometimes pick up advice on how to trim poison tentacles or how to better get rid of goblins in cabbage fields, but they believe that Muggle radio listeners seem to be more tolerant, more gullible than television viewers, and not overly self-conscious. There is another reason why most wizards boycott Muggle supplies, and that is culture. Wizarding societies take pride in not needing as many (and supposedly ingenious) alternative magical devices created by Muggles themselves. Piling up a person's home with dryers and telephones is seen as a lack of magic cells.

Secondly, major media companies immediately kept pace with the times and launched the automatic newspaper broadcast function, which can almost get the effect similar to TV with magic photos.

But the deeper reason is that the transmission of images is different from the transmission of sound. The huge magical magnetic field seriously interfered with the normal life of Muggles. Wizards knew very little about magical magnetic fields, and even the name was changed from the Muggle electromagnetic field. Meaning invisible energy.

Following Phoenix's vision, Love conducted a number of experiments to put together a large number of radio stones and activate them at the same time to see what impact it would have on modern Muggle life.

"We chose three targets for the trial. They are ordinary cities, military facilities, and scientific research institutions. The first is the ordinary residential city. The blackout caused by the broadcast stone has paralyzed the entire transportation system, with subway trains stopped in tunnels and thousands of passengers trapped in the pitch-black subway tunnels. During the power outage, factories were forced to shut down, banks were closed, shops were operating in the dark, and information transmission was interrupted. Restaurants, supermarkets and other businesses dealing in perishable food can expect heavy losses. ”

A few photos were pasted on the blackboard, and if it weren't for a few faint fires, the whole photo would have gone dark. I vaguely saw that the light source was crowded with people, and people holding lighters held the fire source high, becoming a human-shaped street lamp for people to leave the train.

"Military installation, we chose a military fort in the city of Colorado Springs. Similarly, communications were completely cut off, and 95 per cent of the military combat capability was lost.

"Wait, 95%?" Mercedes interrupted Love with a raised hand, "In other words, they still have a little combat capability? Also, you actually chose military facilities directly, if—"

"Don't worry, they'll comfort themselves, equipment issues and stuff like that. As for your previous question," Love replied hurriedly, "the use of electrical appliances will not completely destroy the combat capability of the Muggle army, and the purpose of the plan is actually quite obvious now." Cutting off Muggles' ability to transmit information sends them back to the Middle Ages when communication could only be done by "roaring". ”

A few people laughed, but some didn't understand how it was done.

The discussion continued, and the discussion took place later. "Phoenix let him continue.

The more information you can get from the few photos you post.

A few soldiers walked briskly through the passage with glow sticks, the ground was covered with glass shards, some equipment was on fire, and several people were trying to extinguish the fire with some kind of tool, and a high-ranking officer-like man was constantly trying to use the telephone, trying back and forth.

"Finally, for scientific institutions, we chose a high-energy accelerator in the Mehan region, near Geneva, Switzerland. He pulled out a few more photos, "basically completely destroyed and in need of reconstruction." What's the point, I won't say more, you don't know Muggle technology anyway. ”
