Chapter 745: Chapter 437 Heavenly Communication Device_3
In the Eastern Wilderness, power determines who has the final say.
Aside from Yuan Feihu and Hong Lingqin, who were both engrossed in their cultivation on their respective Spirit Mountains and were not adept at social interactions, everyone had doubts about the overly ambitious and young Chen Mobai.
“Brother Chen, why don’t you add a few words?”
After Chu Zuoshu finished speaking, he gave the stage to Chen Mobai, who was standing next to him. The latter nodded and took out a blueprint from his storage bag.
This was the oldest model of a cell phone he had modified from the Immortal Sect; it utilized a spherical magic artifact as the satellite core. It could support about fifty cell phones for real-time communication.
“This magic artifact is known as the Heavenly Communication Device. I recently obtained it as one of my rewards in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. It allows for communication anytime and anywhere within a certain range.”
“In a war between sects, it is essentially a collision between battle arrays. The more cultivators there are, the more powerful the battle array. However, the more people there are, the more complex communication becomes. Misunderstandings in the top-down communication could interfere with the operation of the battle array, preventing it from fully displaying its power. The immortal sect of antiquity, the Eternal Dao Sect, which was known as the greatest sect, had this Heavenly Communication Device.”
“The principle behind this device is very simple, but it requires the collaborative efforts of experts in artifact refining, talisman making, and puppet creation to be made. By choosing you, brothers and sisters, the sect leader has shown his trust in you and hopes that you will be able to create it in the shortest possible time.”
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, the faces of the people present were a bit bewildered.
In the Tianhe Realm, battle arrays formed by cultivators are very powerful. This they knew well. Generally, the best results are achieved through long-term practice combined with the same cultivation technique.
They saw communication as a secondary issue.
After all, the battlefield is only so large, and the speed of divine sense communication among Foundation Establishment cultivators is not slow.
The key to a powerful battle array is to intensify the training of loose cultivators and disciples from the great clans, and mold these disparate parts into a cohesive whole.
“Junior Brother Chen, what is the effective coverage range of this Heavenly Communication Device?”
Chu Zuoshu, as the sect leader, saw the wide-reaching possibilities of this magic artifact. After hearing Chen Mobai’s introduction, his eyes lit up.
“If a fully-functional Heavenly Communication Device is created, it should be able to provide signal coverage for a hundred miles around.”
That is to say, it would cover the entire scope of Divine Wood City, and it could more than cover the entire battlefield.
“It’s a pity, if only it could cover the entire Giant Tree Ridge.”
Chu Zuoshu shook his head regretfully. Given that Giant Tree Ridge spans over tens of thousands of acres, and the sect’s disciples are scattered across various sites, it usually takes half a day for a message talisman to reach a Foundation Establishment elder and for them to respond.
Sometimes when an elder is in seclusion, the message talisman would simply be stuck at the door and wouldn’t return, wasting a lot of time.
If they had this Heavenly Communication Device, and each Foundation Establishment cultivator in the sect had a cell phone, they could at least achieve instant communication.
If there was no response, it would indicate that the person was in seclusion and Chu Zuoshu would not need to wait any longer.
“Just make more Heavenly Communication Devices.”
Chen Mobai suggested a bright idea but what Chu Zuoshu did not know was that Chen Mobai was considering putting a satellite above the Eastern Wilderness in the future, connecting the entire area of the Divine Wood Sect and enabling real-time communication.
Unfortunately, even the most basic satellite blueprints in the Immortal Sect were of Rank-4. Even if Chen Mobai could download them, he would not understand.
“Brother Chen, guide them to make one first so I can check the effect.”
Chu Zuoshu became interested and personally called Luo Xue’er, the hall master of Reward Virtue Hall, to prepare two sets of materials for crafting the Heavenly Communication Device on behalf of the sect.
The Heavenly Communication Device is one of the more simple Rank-2 magic artifacts in the Immortal Sect. Although Chen Mobai was not an artifact refiner, he understood its principles.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect might not understand the principles, but they could follow instructions. Under Chen Mobai’s guidance, Yuan Feihu from the artifact refining division shaped the metal into rectangular shells.
Chen Mobai also took out his talisman brush and talisman paper, manually drawing two sets of Message Talismans, Identical Seal Talismans, and Word-to-Sound Conversion Talismans.
The “Message Talisman” is the most commonly used talisman for communication in the Divine Wood Sect and indeed, throughout the Eastern Wilderness. It is used to record text content.
The “Identical Seal Talisman” is a talisman that copies patterns and was originally used for copying books.
The “Word-to-Sound Conversion Talisman” is an unusual talisman that could convert text to voice and vice versa. It was originally created by a married pair of deaf and blind talisman makers for their communication.
These three types of talismans can form the most basic functions of a cell phone.
Chen Mobai then took out a few rectangular pieces of Green Yang Spiritual Wood that could be held in one hand and crafted a simple sound vibration writing puppet. He then encased it in a metal shell, inserted the three types of talismans that he had drawn, and a simple cell phone was completed.
“Sect Leader, you take this.”
Chen Mobai handed one of the Green Yang Spiritual Wood phones to Chu Zuoshu. After receiving it, Chu Zuoshu looked at the three buttons on it with a puzzled expression.
“I’ll step outside the hall. When the green button lights up, Sect Leader, press it to connect…”
After Chen Mobai briefly introduced the functions of receiving calls, he left Shenmu Hall and even went a long way off to make sure his conversation wouldn’t be overheard. Then, he began to dial.
