Chapter 812 – Chapter 802: Phonograph
Half a month after Dudian ascended the throne, the Black Death season came. There were a lot of busy things to do. For example, the monastery was arranged to hold a blessing assembly in each city, in addition, the military had to supervise the timely cleaning of the garbage and the bodies of the unexpected deaths in each city. As long as they were not careful, some homeless people would die or the bodies of the servants killed by the nobles would become the starting point of the plague.
Dudian deeply understood the feeling of being a “King”. He was superior to everyone and at the same time, he had to serve everyone.
Fortunately, he didn’t intend to be a dedicated and competent wall master. He left all these trivial matters to Saul. Noyce accompanied him so that he could learn and supervise.
“Teacher, what is this?”Edward looked at the speaker-like instrument in front of him.
“This is called a phonograph.”Dudian looked at the original phonograph that he had just made. There was a trace of sadness and regret in his eyes. It would be good if this thing could be made a few years earlier.
Edward asked: “Phonograph?”
“It is able to retain your voice.”Dudian moved the needle to the black turntable: “Do you have anything to say to your future self?”
“Future self?”Edward’s eyes slightly opened. Future was a very distant word for him. He thought for a moment, “I hope that my future self will always be by the teacher’s side. I want to do many great experiments like the teacher’s phonograph. I also want to carry forward the Qi system!”
Dudian nodded: “Yes, but to accomplish this, you need to work harder than others. Do you understand?”
“I understand, teacher.”Edward nodded.
Dudian played the duplicate voice on the phonograph. Soon, Edward heard what he had just said from the speaker. At the same time, there was Dudian’s instruction, the voice was no different from Dudian’s. Edward’s mouth was wide open. His face was full of disbelief.
Dudian lifted the needle and took the black turntable. He handed it to Edward: “Later you can make a phonograph according to my drawings. You can use this to play your own words. Go back and refuel.”
Edward stared at the black turntable in his hand. He was stunned for a moment before he recovered. He suppressed the excitement and curiosity in his heart and held the turntable to bid farewell to Dudian.
Dudian watched him leave and then slowly walked to the table next to him. He took out a new black turntable and put it on the phonograph. His eyes slowly turned to Aisha who was next to him. There was a trace of gentleness in his eyes, “I have something to say to you every day. There are too many things that I want to say to you. I’m worried that I won’t be able to say so much to you in one breath. So I will record all these words. When you recover, you will be able to hear everything I want to say to you during this period of time.”
Aisha was silent and expressionless.
“In a few days, I will also make a camera. Then I will take pictures of Sergei, Gwyneth, Noyce, my former friend Macon, and my student Edward. Of course, there will also be pictures of us. I will use the camera to record my life and yours every day. One picture a day, that is 365 pictures a year.”
“Maybe it will take me a year or even a few years to find a way to restore you. But don’t worry. You can see my changes through these photos. You Won’t feel unfamiliar with me.”
Dudian’s eyes were extremely gentle. He looked at her for a moment before he thought of the turntable. He picked up the needle and took the turntable. He carefully put it into the bookcase.
A few days later.
News came from the outer wall. They had found the coffin and the remains of the goddess of war.
Dudian was overjoyed. He sent Sergei, Neuss, Aurora and the others to lead the exploration chariots to secretly receive the coffin. The Pioneers on the chariots were still chained by iron chains. Their will was no longer as strong as before. Even their will to fight had faded, the electric shock mechanism was enough to control the chariot.
In less than half a day, everyone took the coffin back to the palace.
When the coffin returned to the palace, Saul who was always by Dudian’s side knew the news. He looked at the huge coffin placed in the hall of the palace. He was stunned. He didn’t expect that the god’s corpse would fall into the hands of Dudian, i Can’t believe Dudian got it.
“Master, this is the captain of the search team.”Sergei pointed to a short youth in black. The youth’s appearance was ugly. There was a mole on the corner of his mouth, at the moment kneeling in front of the steps, face nervous looking at Dudian, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, trembling.
Dudian was happy but he was calm on the surface: “What’s Your Name?”
The short youth replied: “My name is Teron.”
“Tell me how you found it.”Dudian was interested. He hadn’t stopped sending people to search for the whereabouts of the god’s corpse in the inner wall but he hadn’t found it until today, he was curious as to where the intruders had hidden the god’s corpse.
Teron lowered his head. His voice was a bit nervous, “Young master, I followed Young Master’s instructions and led people to search around the outer wall. We searched the commercial and civilian areas but didn’t find it. Afterwards we went to the slums. There weren’t many people living there. We found the coffin under a very sloppy abandoned factory. There were many rats gathered around the coffin so i… Found it.” He paused for a moment as if he was choking. He lowered his head after he finished speaking.
Dudian heard his heart beat faster. He knew that it was his men who saw the vision. But he didn’t mention it. He knew that it was a great achievement and he wanted to get a share of the spoils.
“Why are there rats gathered around the coffin?”Dudian didn’t care about the small matter of greed. He asked: “What was the vision of the coffin?”
Teron lowered his head: “Master, I don’t know. We followed the rats and saw the coffin. We dispersed the rats and moved the coffin out from the factory. The coffin looked a bit dirty at that time. We informed Hawkeye and cleaned the coffin. Then the adults came to pick us up.”
