Chapter 415: Chapter 4: Prelude to the Information Age (1/3)

The difference between the industrial era and the information era.

There are different definitions in different textbooks and different teachings.

However, in Li Boyang’s view, the birth of electronic components is the key to distinguishing the industrial era from the information era.

Once humanity overcame the most basic survival needs, they transitioned from the agricultural era into the industrial era.

The only distinction lies in whether it insists on using manual labor in the handicraft era.

Or has it already begun to widely promote energy-driven mechanical industrialization.

It’s not an exaggeration to say, as long as it’s a product of the industrial era, no matter how precise and complex it appears, an eighth-level craftsman can hammer out every part step by step.

In this mythical era, saying everyone is an eighth-level craftsman might be somewhat exaggerated.

But for the majority of the Gods, it’s not difficult at all to create various precise and complex items using their own abilities.

This is also one major reason why the "Luo Book" spread by Li Boyang earlier could rapidly disseminate so quickly.

Yet once entering the information era, everything changes.

The essence of electronic components is the product of precision engineering, the standardized and custom mass production result.

Its manufacturing relies on the synergy of material science, precision processing, and testing technologies, all of which cannot be separated from specialized tools.

Capacitors, resistors, diodes, chips...

If you truly want to use these things in practice and can combine them with a standardized, modular approach.

You must massively process core materials like silicon wafers, metal electrodes, insulating mediums.

Yet these processes of material purification and precise machining are impossible to achieve with mere manual labor.

Individuals without tools cannot obtain qualified materials nor can they achieve microstructure control and performance calibration, making it nearly impossible to manufacture functional electronic components.

Not to mention producing them en masse with unified specifications.

On twenty-first-century Earth, even the simplest electronic components must go through nearly a hundred procedures, a crystallization of an entire industry chain’s technology.

In today’s era, even if some God truly has the time, energy, and ability to replicate electronic components.

Can they mass-produce these electronic components?

If we take a step back, even assuming they truly possess the ability to mass-produce electronic components.

Different standards among Gods cannot be unified, can these varied specifications and standards of electronic components still be combined for use?

This is the difference between individuals and civilization.

Individuals only need to consider whether their tools are powerful, suitable, without concern if they can be used with other individuals’ tools.

While civilization takes individuals as its base units, emphasizing close connections between different individuals.

As the contact between different individuals becomes increasingly close, frequency of communication also rises...

The information age naturally arrives, the difference being only what the medium is.

Truth be told, if Gods can abandon past grievances and achieve these, then they are no longer extraordinary individuals but true Gods Civilization.

"This Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman is rough, but indeed holds the embryonic form of electronic components."

Studiously toying with the rhombus talisman in his hand, Li Boyang murmured in this manner.

Compared to the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman in Ying Long’s hand, the one in Li Boyang’s hand is the latest version.

Not only has its size been shrunk to the size of a thumbnail, its structure is more organized, allowing for unified parts manufacturing and replacement.

But Li Boyang also knows this is already the limit that Li Jingshu and others can achieve now.

"Does this Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman really have such great value?"

Xiluo tilted her head, seemingly practicing some kind of martial technique, as the ribbon behind her kept waving.

Since the last journey to Returning Void, Xiluo rarely developed a sense of drive, taking the initiative to learn various skills.

This included close combat skills, and it is performed with Feather Robe as the core of the close combat skills.

Just from the show, it seems like another form of "Thousand-Handed Divine Power."

Of course, Li Boyang vaguely sensed, Xiluo seems to be busy with other things these years?

However, Li Boyang same has matters hidden from Xiluo, having no time to consider too much.

The first should not criticise others, fifty steps should not mock a hundred steps.

"What you’re seeing now is merely a starting point..."

"It symbolizes the future developmental direction and path of Hundred Lands Mountain People."

Gently raising the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand, Li Boyang places it under the sun, reflecting light.

"Just slightly alter the mindset and thought, find a suitable medium, store electromagnetic waves transformed from sound waves..."

"Then can this Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman becomes a sound recorder or phonograph?"

"Since sound waves can be transformed into electromagnetic waves, can light and shadow also be converted then?"

Understanding the melody through heeding the strings, Xiluo after all has spent long enough time with Li Boyang, immediately grasping the other’s implied meaning.

"You mean, the birth of the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman as a gate opened wide?"

"Its manufacturing principles can also be used to create other new items, which are things ordinary mountain people can create!"

At this point, Xiluo was genuinely surprised.

Despite knowing early on, Li Boyang has been dedicated to disseminating technologies that ordinary people both can create and utilize.

But in Xiluo’s inherent notions, the more powerful and magical treasures, the higher the threshold of creation.

Such threshold includes but is not limited to the user’s cultivation, wisdom, and adeptness at magical divine power.

Even the most widespread Bronze Beast among Hundred Lands Mountain Range today is merely convenient for use.

Whether it’s that special bronze material formula, or the Bronze Tree capable of producing Bronze Egg, it’s hard for others besides Li Boyang to replicate.

However, this Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman is different from Bronze Beast.

Its construction, though complex and exquisite, in essence, is merely a variant of Thunder Talisman, using some special materials and structures.

Compared to the high threshold requirements for individuals in general spells, divine powers.

The threshold for the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman lies in utilizing collective wisdom, while the objective threshold requirements are remarkably low.

"Exactly, it’s a ’Magical Treasure’ that ordinary people can fully exploit its potential."

"Although they do not possess divine artifact power, they have incomparable advantages in terms of dissemination."

"For instance, this Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman..."

"Li Family Village already has a complete industry chain, given a few years, they’ll be able to ensure every mountain person possesses a Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman."

Smiling at the utterly shocked Xiluo, Li Boyang inquisitively queried.

"Perhaps I can forge a Sound Transmission Talisman stronger and more durable in function than it."

"But how many centuries do you think it takes to let all the mountain people possess such a Sound Transmission Talisman?"

"It’s the power of civilization; the prelude to the information era."

Taking a deep breath, the smile on Li Boyang’s face grew even brighter.

Informationization marks modern civilization, it’s the symbol of humanity truly entering the era of high technology.

On the earth of past lives, humanity crossed thousands of years of thresholds and underwent countless failures to step into the information era.

The application of fundamental sciences such as energy, materials, electromagnetic, information has reached a phenomenal level.

However, in this mythical era, the existence of Proverb Talisman serves as a booster accelerator effect.

Placed on the earth of past lives, those scientists absolutely wouldn’t have imagined that a piece of talisman paper, a variant Thunder Talisman, could continually absorb and release electric energy.

Similarly, without generations of scientific inquiry into electrical, magnetic, optical phenomena.

An outer shell engraved with Proverb Talisman using special materials could convert electricity into orderly electromagnetic wave and transmit.

Because the essence of Proverb Talisman is, in fact, the truth gleaned from [[Celestial Destiny Divine Power]] exploration.

In the foreseeable future, mountain people only need to reverse-parse Proverb Talisman to continuously advance without any thresholds or bottlenecks.
