Chapter 251 Television in the Magical World
"Two-way mirror trial?" Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I remember Fred mentioned that the two-way mirror you made this time seemed to be a one-to-many transmission image?"
"Yes, that's right." Wade explained, "It's just like a Muggle TV show. A main mirror acts as a TV station, and many sub-mirrors are TVs."
"Then all wizards in Britain can watch our game?"
Ryan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he glanced anxiously at Harry and others who were discussing preparations for the game.
Everyone is looking forward to it and preparing for it for so long. If I say I want to quit... isn't that immoral?
Wade smiled. "If everything goes well, wizards around the world should be able to see the same picture in the future. But this time, only the employees of Aslan's magic workshop are responsible for testing the sub-mirror... Of course, Remus and Sirius can also see it."
Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, he doesn't have to struggle between friendship and his true heart.
Although there were some extra spectators, Ryan felt it was still acceptable compared to the wizards across the UK.
After the worry subsided, curiosity began to take over again.
"Will the sub-mirrors be sold in stores like televisions in the future?"
"Of course," Vader said.
"So we can see Celestina singing in it, and we can also see..."
He thought back to the television programs he had seen.
"Can we still see Mr. Bean getting his teeth fixed?"
"That's a TV show, which is a fragmented scene performed according to the script, shot and edited, but a two-way mirror can only broadcast live, that is, everything that happens in front of the main mirror is transmitted to all the sub-mirrors in real time."
Ryan seemed to understand what he said.
Vader was actually more surprised.
Because he knew that Ryan's grandmother was a Muggle, his father was a Muggle wizard, and his family had many Muggle relatives. But Ryan's understanding of Muggles was similar to that of "Muggle lovers" like the Weasley family.
I know a little bit of the surface stuff, but I don’t really understand it in depth.
So Wade explained the difference between the two to him again in an easy-to-understand way.
Then he added: "Of course, there are not many events like the Challenge that are suitable for broadcasting. So I thought that we could use the mother mirror to broadcast Muggle TV programs so that the electronic signals will not be affected by the magical magnetic field."
The best part is that they can choose TV programs from all over the world without having to pay any broadcasting fees.
This will also help the magical community better understand the lives of ordinary people, and avoid jokes where they are neighbors but can't even tell the difference between pajamas and formal clothes.
——It was with this reason that Wade persuaded Dumbledore to agree to let him conduct this experiment.
Although he felt that if he made a direct request, the headmaster probably wouldn't refuse, but some habits left in his genes made Wade subconsciously use a reason that sounded more orthodox and grander.
"Then I must buy a mirror. During the summer vacation, remember to broadcast Mr. Bean!" Ryan said with anticipation: "I watched two episodes at my uncle's house before, but I didn't have the chance to finish it."
"Of course, we will definitely bring in all kinds of great Muggle television shows."
Wade suddenly realized that his statement was too "official". Perhaps he was used to it when communicating with Mr. Marchionne, so he hasn't changed it yet.
He coughed and said, "I'll let you know in advance when the time comes... How about two episodes a day?"
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Actually... I can watch it from morning to night."
He blinked and looked at Wade, his meaning was very clear. Wade laughed: "Okay! Then wait until you get tired of watching it, then stop. We can replay it two or three times... I'm sure a lot of people will like it."
Wizards' entertainment options are actually very limited.
Although in Vader's opinion, magic is the most interesting thing in the world, but for most wizards, this innate power is like air.
—It’s necessary, but there’s nothing particularly pleasing about it.
A magic radio is the main source of happiness for many families in their leisure time.
Vader could almost see the explosion of popularity that would follow the launch of their two-way mirror.
Theo, who had been listening silently for an unknown period of time, suddenly said, "In that case, the name 'two-sided mirror' doesn't seem quite appropriate. Maybe you should give it a special name."
Wade thought for a moment and said, "How about a streaming mirror? After all, it is also a streaming media technology."
Unfortunately, no one present understood what "streaming media" was. Theo and Ryan both smiled blankly and politely.
“Sounds good,” they said.
Time flies by so fast that many students feel like they have only just hurriedly put together a team for the competition, and it’s already mid-May.
During this period, Wade and the Weasley twins also took time to go to Hogsmeade and communicate with Marchionne again about the details of the first broadcast of "Stream Mirror".
Marchionne sent dozens of employees, carrying sub-lenses of different sizes, to different locations in the UK and surrounding countries to test the broadcast effects.
In the living room of the Lupin family, Wade also formally signed a contract with the Weasley twins.
"If the income is good, you can just give us a share."
George, who had just started doing business to make money at school, felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his face and said, "The Liujing was mostly your idea, and without your alchemy skills, we would not have been able to complete it."
"We are friends, so we don't need to care too much about these things." Fred also said: "Besides, being able to complete this work itself is the biggest reward for me!"
Before Wade could say anything, Marchionne next to him started laughing.
"It is precisely because you are friends that you should make the principles of distribution clear from the beginning, so that there will be no conflicts in the future."
He looked at the two promising future alchemists and said gently:
"You have made efforts, so you should be rewarded, because your contribution, no matter how small, is part of the success. If there is only effort but no reward, the result will surely be that everything will be destroyed, including your current friendship."
The twin brothers looked at each other, somewhat unconvinced that their future would change, yet they found it inexplicably convincing.
Marchionne smiled and said, "Of course, this is just advice from an elder. I've seen so many similar things that I can't help but want to warn you. It's up to you to decide what to do."
The twins looked at Wade, only to see him nod as well, his eyes revealing sincerity and seriousness.
really weird.
He is obviously younger, but he acts like an elder, making people believe him involuntarily.
The twins raised their quills.
