Chapter 183 The Crooked Technology Tree 1
The goblin engineer took Zhang Leli to the communication room of the airship branch here, and after confirming that he would use the equipment inside, he withdrew.

Communication is a very private act, and it is naturally not suitable for outsiders to be present.

The communication room is not big, only less than ten square meters.

The layout inside is also very simple, there is only one device called "radio station" and a matching seat.

The "radio station" consists of three parts: a 55-inch large screen polished from a whole block of obsidian, a keyboard, and a set of spiral tuners.

Compared with thousands of years ago, the style of the keyboard has not changed much, only a few more sets of keys.

The keyboard and tuner are fixed on the table, which makes the whole radio station look like a "high-tech product" in the 90s science fiction movie.

If Li Yi sees this scene, he will definitely not be able to help complaining, "This has been developed for 1000 years, and technology has developed like this? That's it?"

……

But in fact, the goblin's technology is already at the highest level in the entire world!

The reason for this result is not complicated, it is nothing more than interests.

After the cataclysm, one of the entry requirements for researching technology is a sub-professional.

For example, Wang Dalong and others that Li Yi met back then were all alchemists, blacksmiths, or pharmacists.

After all, the post-catastrophe technology is based on the "magic stone energy", and ordinary people have no way of getting access to magic stones.

But here is a very "fatal" place:

People who can become sub-professionals must also have the talent to become awakened ones!

And becoming an awakened person is obviously more beneficial than being a sub-professional engaged in scientific research!
Money, rights, reputation, status... Let's not talk about these, high-level awakened people can increase their lifespan!

So this will inevitably lead to a result: talented people don't want to do scientific research, and other people want to do scientific research but don't have that talent!

Even if occasionally there are some great people who have the talent to become high-level awakened ones, they are still willing to sacrifice themselves and devote themselves to scientific research.

But the lifespan of ordinary people is limited. How can a few people promote the development of the entire technology in a limited lifespan?
This is also the reason why the greatest inventions of the human race in the field of magic stone technology civilization basically appeared thousands of years ago.

Back then, not to mention geniuses, but at least there were countless talented people who were willing to devote themselves to scientific research and shine for the entire country and nation!
……

In this way, based on people's "selfish" instinct and various chances and coincidences, although it has gone through thousands of years, the technology of the human race has hardly developed much!
This is also the reason why Li Yi saw that magic stone powered locomotives are rare.

Because science and technology did not develop, fully automatic production lines did not appear, and magic stone-powered locomotives were all handcrafted by blacksmiths and alchemists.
There are two core reasons for the development of goblin technology:
One is racial talent. Just as dwarves like to forge iron, goblins themselves also like various inventions and creations.

This gives them an inherent driving force to develop technology.

The second is that in the early stages of alien races, they are all born awakened.

Unlike the human race, goblins are born awakened, which eliminates a talent selection process!

In other words, in the early days, as long as the goblins wanted to die, every goblin could be a mad scientist!

This provides objective conditions for goblins to develop technology!
The combination of the two has created the reality that goblins are now ahead of the entire continent in terms of technology!

But as we all know, the goblins are habitually pointing the technology tree crookedly, and there are all kinds of deadly "black" technology branches.

Therefore, Goblin Technology did not restore the high-tech scene before the catastrophe in the end.

Instead, it created an alternative technology system.

For example, the "radio station" in front of Zhang Leli.

……

If someone from back then (such as Li Yi) saw the appearance of a "radio station" with a large "monitor" and a keyboard, the first thing that would come to mind would be "computer"!

Isn't this communication room just a private room in an Internet cafe?
No video or voice, so instant text chat is always possible, right?

But sorry, no!

The role of the "radio station" is actually just to send a telegram!

Because the goblins' communication network can currently transmit only "on" and "off" signals!
Changing to long and short tones, just in time to send telegrams!
Images, sounds, and even text cannot be sent directly!

What is the monitor used for?

Because of sending a telegram, the content of the information must first be converted into "telecode" before it can be sent.

Some goblins felt that this process was too complicated, so they got inspiration from some "ancient" records of the human race, added a "patch" to the telegraph machine, and got the current "radio station".

(Radio: the console for telegraphing!)

Then, the new telegram method becomes:

First, key in what you want to send into the station.

These are displayed on the screen and modifications can be checked.

Then, select the object you want to send, and use the frequency tuner to tune the transmitted signal to the corresponding channel.

Then select send!
"Radio" will automatically convert the content you input into code, send it over, and then decode it after receiving it on the other side, and you can see the content you sent!
In other words, the "radio station" is still sending telegrams in essence, but the operation has been optimized a bit.

And because the content to be sent must be displayed on the screen first, the number of words that can be sent in a message will inevitably be limited by the size of the screen, so the screen of the "radio station" is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it becomes what it is now!
Overall, this is a device full of flaws!
But it is currently the only and most advanced general-purpose long-distance communication equipment. It can be seen how crooked the technology tree of this era is!
(Currently, the Awakened have a communication panel, but do not support long-distance communication.)
……

As a "modern person" who grew up in this era, Zhang Leli didn't think there was anything wrong with this "radio station". Instead, he sighed the magic of goblin technology every time he used it!
(Li Yi: Poor child, it’s terrible to be ignorant!)

At this time, after confirming that the goblin engineer has left.

Zhang Leli first took out a magic stone and installed it in the "energy tank" under the radio station as the energy source for sending telegrams.

After the "radio station" was turned on, he skillfully flipped his ten fingers over the keyboard, and lines of text appeared smoothly on the screen.

This actually uses the Pinyin input method!
It seems that when the goblins improved the telegraph, they referred to quite detailed human literature!

Because the screen is so big, Zhang Leli is not afraid that he will not be able to send out all the information this time.

After all, he still has a lot of messages to send this time!

I saw it written on the screen:

"Inspector No. 27149 Zhang Leli, the 14th routine report!
……

　[Supplementary instructions for this chapter]:
　　First, it is difficult for cultivation civilization and technological civilization to develop simultaneously, and I personally think this is more normal.When the cultivation civilization develops to its peak, or when one or two legendary scientific research geniuses appear among ordinary people, the scientific and technological civilization will be valued again.

　　Second, in the process of developing technology, the goblins referred to some human literature.But the really important information, the human race will not leak it. "I won't give it to you if I don't need it" is the human heart.Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the goblins’ technology trees being crooked.

　　Third, the entire human race has no scientific research atmosphere, but it is not that no one engages in scientific research.It's just that without resources, it is difficult to achieve results in scientific research.
