In Newsal, a letter of significance arrives on Dussand's office desk.

The letter was short, just a few words. Even these words only make up a short greeting.

But the letter itself is significant enough – it was the first cable telegram in the history of human civilization.

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Dusand couldn't help but sigh - this thing is really inconvenient.

In fact, the telegraph is not a particularly fast way to deliver messages at Newsall's level of information today. For example, if you want to pass a government letter from Upper Albin to Finn County...... The sender had enough time to transcode and send the code, and the green-clad postman had to gallop all the way from Dussand's office to the Upper Albin Starlanding, and jump to Newsar's low-Earth orbit on a specialized postman shuttle, and then to the Finshire Starland.

The telegraph had a far less impact in this world than in Dussand's previous life, and in fact, Dussaint himself did not feel that the telegraph was a very important invention.

His purpose in advancing the telegraph was also simple - Newsal needed to gain a great advantage over the Empire in some area, and that area had to allow Newsal to gain a real advantage over the Empire.

The application of electricity is of great importance to the industrial sector. There are several industrial applications of electricity that Dussaint himself knows about – electrometallurgical metalsmelting, electrolytic chemicals, electroplating and even electric welding...... As long as these fields can be developed, they can be extremely helpful to the industrial field of Newsal.

The telegraph is a simple example of how humans use electricity. This example of application can be used as a stimulus for the researchers in Newsal to realize that there are so many ways to apply something that first appeared to them.

The next thing Dussaint intends to promote is the manufacture and popularization of light bulbs. While the manufacturing process can be very difficult, the process of advancing R&D can be fraught with obstacles...... But the role of the light bulb in society is so important that Dussander has to use the government's authority and resources to do so.

The light bulb does not need to be burned, which means there is no risk of fuel leakage. Although gas lamps have been widely used throughout the empire for nearly sixty years, many people still die every year from gas poisoning due to gas lamps being turned off at night. Portable flint lamps are also dangerous, and kerosene lamps used under coal mines are relatively safe, but they still have the risk of gas explosions.

On shuttles and battleships that shuttle through deep space, the role of the light bulb is even more important. Of the existing lighting fixtures, some and only gas lamps with a blowing system can be used safely on warships. In the absence of gravity, the hot air does not float. Without a blowing system, the gas lamps would have extinguished themselves within a very short time of light due to the carbon dioxide produced.

What's more, providing lighting through combustion will inevitably lead to the generation of a large amount of exhaust gases and waste heat, and a large amount of extremely valuable air on the ship.

Today's Imperial warships use an air replacement system based on the high-pressure storage tank technology line. A large capital ship can carry about 10,000 times the total amount of air in all cabins of the ship during a cruise.

If the gas and gas lamps on the ships could be replaced with electric lights, the self-sustaining ability of the ships of the Newsal fleet in deep space could be greatly improved. This was able to give the Neusar Navy a huge advantage over the course of the battle.

If the Imperial fleet were to break up diplomatic relations or blockade operations around Nussal, it would need to send at least two Royal Guards to accomplish this objective.

And if Newsar needed to do the same type of combat against Orin or other colonies, half of the fleet would be able to do all the work - if it weren't for the need to rotate sailors to keep them at a relatively healthy level, a quarter of the fleet would be able to effectively complete the mission of breaking the enemy.

Electric light is a multiplier of the power of naval warfare.

The role of electricity is enormous, and Dussander has no doubt that the large-scale use of electricity can bring about a sea change for Newsal. If the problem of energy storage can be solved, it may be possible to move the electromagnetic cannon into space, which can be fired at a adjustable speed, and even if it is fired in a salvo, the accuracy will not be affected by the combustion and expansion of the propellant.

In short, Dussant is trying to make all Newsal people aware that electricity is a good thing, and hopes to use this consensus to advance Newsal's research on electricity.

"Your Excellency the Consul." Just as Dussander looked at the telegram in his hand, and was a little unsure whether he should lock this telegram in Newsar Aika's database in case it was needed to build a museum in the future, Ms. Tamara, the top director of Aica, knocked on the open door of his office, "I have a letter from Central Tek here, but I can't decode it - all the four sets of codes that Central's usual communication with us have not been successfully decoded. ”

Communications between Central Special Branch and Newsal are a top priority for the entire Special Branch operation. As a special worker of Nyusar, who is alone and deep behind enemy lines, only by maintaining a safe and reliable communication line can Nyusar know what the situation is on the side of the Central Special Branch.

This line is very important, which can also be seen from the fact that Newsal has specially prepared four sets of passwords - the secret letter of Central Tek will randomly select one of the four sets of passwords for encryption.

The four sets of passwords are encrypted randomly, so as to effectively ensure the life of the codebook. Even if the Imperial side suddenly began to arrange operations against the Central Special Branch, under the random encryption protection of the four sets of passwords, it would be impossible for the ciphertext to be decrypted unless the Empire obtained the codebook.

Now, suddenly such a strange cipher letter came from the Central Tek, and Dusand suddenly became nervous.

"Show me." Dusson took the ciphertext, and then looked at the content on it with some confusion, this ciphertext is indeed not a regular encrypted content.

It is pinyin.

Dussand, who worked as a "private tutor" for Lorraine for several years, occasionally taught Lorraine a few words of Chinese as a spice. What he said about Lorraine was that the language was a language he made up himself.

No anti-theft

Because Chinese writing was too troublesome, Lorraine didn't learn much about square characters in the end. But she still learned a lot of Chinese pronunciation, and also learned the basic usage of pinyin.

This secret letter, which cannot be decoded with a code, was written by Lorraine in pinyin.

"I'll study this letter again." Duschild nodded to Ms. Tamara, and then began to read the details of the letter. "The active contact with the Central Special Branch will be interrupted first, and the specific recovery time will be notified by me."

The translation of the letter was not particularly smooth, and Dussaint had some difficulty reading the pinyin himself. He hadn't spoken his native language much in almost twenty years, and if he wanted to read Lorraine's letters, he had to read a sentence three or five times by himself. And Lorraine's Chinese level has also deteriorated very seriously - it is normal to not understand. But fortunately, in this universe, probably only he and Lorraine know Chinese, even if they shout loudly, they are not afraid of others eavesdropping on the content.

[The Olin conflict was not our doing. The first sentence of the translated secret letter made Dusand think that he had probably made a mistake - conflict? What conflict? The Central Special Branch hasn't reported it before.

[Schultz was recognized, and he decided to protect us.] 】

The smile on Dussand's face froze suddenly.

[Tens of thousands of people will come to their homes, and they will be safe. 】

[I'll be careful and go to bed first.] 】

And then, nothing else.

Dussaint set aside his translated papyrus, and after a moment of silence, took out his locked journal from the safe beside him.

Turning the page, Dussaint wrote a sentence.

[I knew this earlier, I should teach her Chinese well.] 】

The significance of information does not stop at what is written in it. Sometimes, intelligence means a lot in itself.

For example, this time Lorraine sent a secret letter.

There is no doubt that something is wrong with Newsar internally. The problem was so big that Lorraine had to use pinyin to write letters to herself. It's so big that she thinks that the random encryption of four passwords still can't ensure the safe delivery of intelligence.

It is also because of Dussand's choice to keep a diary first, rather than immediately trying to find a way to reconnect with Central Teko. He had to calm himself down before he could figure out how to deal with this hidden superbly mole.

When trying to catch a poisonous snake lurking around you, it is the worst strategy to start the snake immediately - at least you must first determine the possible location of the snake, and make deployment and prevention, before you can consider taking the initiative to "startle the snake".

According to the analysis of the secret letter sent by Lorraine, it is obvious that the Imperial side has known about the existence of Central Special Branch. And quite sure that the Central Turk and Nyusal, as well as the diplomat Scholz, are related.

After learning that he had been exposed, Scholz's "decision to protect us" was not difficult to understand - he would definitely choose to cut with Central Tek. It may even expose itself a little more obviously, attracting malicious eyes from the Empire for the Central Special Branch.

Scholz and the forces at his disposal will be a cover for the Central Turk, and he may even become an "outcast" if necessary.

In order for Scholz's sacrifice to not be in vain, Central Tekko had to immediately go into hibernation. They should avoid re-exposure as much as possible, so as to complete the transfer of sight.

So...... If you're in Newsar, shouldn't you find a way to cooperate with the shift of gaze?

Dussander frowned, unable to decide what he should do for a moment.
