Just like the first garbage recycling factory, when it was first established, I don't know how many people laughed at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, thinking that they were purely full of food and collected those things.

But I didn't expect that the Academy of Sciences really had the ability to turn waste into treasure, even if you don't mention the nitrate powder provided to the empire for free, just farm fertilizer is a lot of gold coins.

When those pickled things are collected, they don't cost money, and then after a series of processing, they become farmhouse fertilizer that can increase grain production, and there are large areas of farms around the imperial capital, and there are no worries about sales at all.

Later, there was a textile factory, and then there was a printing factory, and I heard that now there is a sugar factory being built, which is really making money every day.

It's a pity that their dean, Flandy, has too hard roots, and even His Majesty the Emperor doesn't live in the palace and lives in his magic tower, so no one dares to think anything crooked.

Minister Dean is one of these red-eyed ones, although the Ministry of Industry is large, but there is no oil and water, although there are many factories directly under the Ministry of Industry, and they are all very large factories, but these factories are all internal settlements, and there is not much oil and water that can be squeezed out.

For example, the smelter in the Igo Kingdom recently, if it is a smelter opened by an individual, it is definitely a profitable business.

It's a pity that it belongs to the Ministry of Industry, and most of the smelted metal is used to cast artillery, and the factories where artillery is cast also belong to the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, the so-called oil and water does not mean that Minister Dean wants to get some benefits for his family, his Mottley family is an old nobleman and has a family fief!

All the taxes of the fiefdom went to the Mottley family, except for a part of the grain, which was to be handed over to the empire, and everything else, even the army and the law, went to the family.

As long as there is no catastrophe, there is still an income of 10,000 gold coins a year, and the Mottley family has always been not prosperous, and all the family members add up to only a dozen people.

So while not as wealthy as the old business families like the Melward family, the gold was enough to ensure that they could enjoy the expenses of high society.

In addition, Minister Dean is an important minister of the empire, and his own salary is also quite large, so there is no need to take risks to embezzle.

The main purpose of Minister Dean's desire to set up this megaphone factory with Frandy is to enable the Ministry of Industry to squeeze out some "living money" or a small treasury of the Ministry of Industry, so that it can be much more generous to reward some competent subordinates and distribute some fruits and vegetables during the New Year's holidays.

"Of course it's no problem!" Flandi agreed, there are many places where the Imperial Academy of Sciences needs to rely on the Ministry of Industry, and Flandy is a human being, and this bit of human accident is still understood.

And he originally regarded the Imperial Academy of Sciences as a pure research institution, and he didn't really want to divide his energy to set up some factories or something, and the Ministry of Industry came up to ask for cooperation, of course he would not refuse.

In fact, not only the Ministry of Industry, even those powerful big businessmen come to ask for cooperation, as long as they don't touch some bottom lines, Flandy will not turn them away.

He himself doesn't care much about gold coins, but the more gold coins the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the better, scientific research is very expensive, and if there is no gold coin as a support, it is a joke to want to study something.

"Then thank you Frandi!" Minister Dean was overjoyed, he brought his daughter here for fear that if Frandy didn't agree, his daughter would intercede, but he didn't expect that Flandi agreed almost without thinking about it.

"Your Excellency Dean, since you want to jointly build this loudspeaker, why don't you make the phone together, and now that time is very tight, I hope you will send someone to the Academy of Sciences tomorrow to discuss this matter. ”

"Telephone?" Minister Dean was stunned, he had heard the term for the first time, and he didn't know what it was.

"It's a device that can make two people talk far away, and you can go back and ask Candace, these things are to be installed on the battlefield of Dukmahon, which will be of great help to the war. Franky said fifteen-ten.

As soon as he heard that it was going to be installed on the battlefield of Dukmahon, Minister Dean's face immediately became serious.

"Okay, I'll go back and have a good understanding of what a phone call is, and I will prepare to build a factory as soon as possible, don't worry. ”

Although he said this, he still secretly complained in his heart, he originally thought that as soon as the factory was established, it would be profitable immediately, but he didn't expect that it would still have to be provided to the Duk Mahon battlefield first.

But this is the right thing, no matter how much you want to make money, you can't delay the preparation of the war, if you want to make money, you can only talk about it later, fortunately, it will be half a year at most, and the war will end, and it will not be too late to make money at that time.

Regarding the phone call, Flandi had already discussed it with Gülen, and was going to discuss it at tomorrow's court meeting, since Minister Dean had now put forward the idea of cooperation, Flandi didn't hide it from him, and it wasn't an important secret anyway.

After returning to the Magic Tower, over dinner, Glenn told his friends about today's test of the megaphone.

The others didn't pay much attention to it, but they just listened to Frandi and researched another interesting thing, but in Dennis's ears, they were envious.

The Viton Empire was originally an empire split from the Oskaia Empire, and there were many similarities with the Oskaia Empire in architecture, military, politics, and economy.

Of course, there is also a council hall in the palace, which is specially used as a place for discussing state affairs.

Like Gülen before, he had to speak in a loud voice every time he had an important meeting, and if he didn't have this kind of megaphone, he would slowly get used to it, but if he had it, why not install it?

So Flandy received another order, that is, to install a PA system for the council hall of the Witon Empire.

It's just a dozen microphones and speakers, but it's nothing, but it's a headache to explain to those researchers at the Academy of Sciences that they should install them.

However, the two empires were now getting closer and closer, and it was not far from declaring peaceful coexistence, and Flandy agreed.

......

The next morning, when the ministers of the Oskaia Empire came to the palace for a regular court meeting, as usual, they suddenly found a strange thing installed in front of the seventeen seats on the political platform.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when Gülen spoke his first words, all the ministers in the audience were shocked.

Usually, when there is a big court meeting, the ministers in front of them are fine, but those ministers who have small official positions and sit at the back of the seat want to hear clearly the speeches of the people on the political platform, they must hold their breath and stick out their ears to listen, and even so, sometimes they can't hear clearly.

Now, no matter where you sit in the council hall, you can hear it clearly, even some ministers who are older and have less good ears.

In addition to those microphones on the political platform, a few microphones have also been set up under the stage, no way, there is no wireless microphone now, and the seats under the stage and between the seats are not very spacious, can not be installed in every seat, only whoever raises the topic, who stands up and walks to the microphones under the stage to speak.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the people with particularly loud voices are in the same position, as long as others can hear them clearly.

However, the ministers in the audience had just arrived in the morning and did not know the function of the microphone.

After Gülen announced the start of the court meeting, the voice came out from the twelve speakers in the council hall at the same time, and the ministers below immediately began to discuss.

However, Gülen did not sell off, and thanked the Imperial Academy of Sciences for introducing the functions of the megaphone and phonograph.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to save some energy to speak, you can use those microphones, the effect is the same as these on the stage, and you don't need to shout loudly in the future. Gülen pointed to the podiums set up below.

The ministers were immediately interested, and it was the first time they had seen such a novel thing, and everyone wanted to try it, but in the end, they pushed it around, and still elected an old minister who was over eighty years old and relatively weak, but had a high reputation, to try it first.

The seats of the ministers are fan-shaped, and there are seven aisles, each with a podium, which can be easily reached in just a few steps from any direction.

The old minister got up from his seat, walked to the podium, first looked at the microphone with a very unique shape curiously, and then cautiously aimed his mouth at the microphone, and followed the appearance of Gülen's audition just now, and said "Hey" twice.

Because of his age, his voice is lacking in qi, and his voice is very hoarse, and it is precisely because of this that he rarely speaks at the court meeting.

Not all of the people who were able to participate in the court meeting were ministers in important positions, but there were also some old men, and this old minister was one of them.

He is over 80 years old this year, and he used to be the vice-chancellor of Oskaia University, but he has long since stepped down, because his prestige is so high, and most of the ministers present are strictly speaking, his students when he was president.

Therefore, every time there is a big court meeting, he will be invited to come over to participate in the discussion of some important matters, and even His Majesty the Emperor Gülen has great respect for him.

"Your Majesty, this device called the megaphone was developed by the newly established Imperial Academy of Sciences?"

Although his voice was weak, it was amplified by a loudspeaker, and his voice echoed in the council hall, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Even he himself was startled, a person speaking with a microphone, and the voice he usually spoke in his own ears was somewhat different from what he heard in his ears.
