Chapter 1070 - The Future!
Within the room, the superiors were standing at the back of the long white table, while everyone else was standing on the other side, a little further away.
Tim looked at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces and grinned while massaging his long beard.
Wiggins at the side, gently leaned against the wall at the back of the table, crossed his hands over his c.h.e.s.t and lazily looked at them all, giving off a sense of a powerful sensei.
At the same time, the other superiors in the room also stood proudly, as if they had just come from saving the world.
This scene made the crew tense up with excitement, as they wanted to know what this headphone project was all about.
Seeing that everyone's attention was fully captured, Tim's smile broadened even more.
"Whether with experience or not, the importance of technology in our day-to-day lives is what we must continuously seek to make our lives better as humans.
Like the matter with density.
Very quickly, those who used to work in different departments years back... How did we calculate density?"
A few hands went up.
.
"Sir... Firstly, Density is Mass divided by volume.
But before, we used to take an object, place it in a sealed container, and drop it in a volume calibrated bucket or drum.
We first recorded the volume of water in the drum before dropping the sealed item into it.
And once the water level rose due to the space occupied, we recorded that volume... Which was the volume of the water and the object combined.
And with simple subtraction, we easily came up with the volume for the object alone.
Again, because the sealing container always has negligible weight, we added a correction factor to the volume as well."
Tim nodded his head in satisfaction.: "Good. That was how things were years back, which made things go slower for us. But now, there are volume calculating machines and so on. Yes. We will never forget these basic steps since we use them during research or even in schools. But for mass production in a production line, because of our advancement in technology, we can now do all these easily. That's why technology will always be an essential part of human evolution!"
Everyone nodded in agreement when they thought of the many changes that Baymard had welcomed over the years.
It was very hard for them to remember what this place used to look like earlier on?
For sure, it was all barren dying land with open fields and twig houses built far apart from each other, mainly concentrated within the region presently called District G.
But now, look at what technology has brought into Baymard?
Long ate the days when they would have to poop on the open floors or poop upstream, just to take baths or drink this same water downstream.
Many couldn't even believe that they used to do that.
That must've been someone else and not them.
Even the quality of food, sleep, health, etc... were better year in, year out.
This was an undeniable fact!
.
"As I said, today will be your first day creating headphones.
I know you all don't know what they are yet, but allow me to elaborate.
Do you ever have moments, even within a group, when you'd like to listen to another song than what others were listening to?
Are there times you just want to switch the radio stations and listen to a broadcast different from what everyone else was hearing?
Well, in future, there will be a small portable device (music players, pods) that will allow this.
But what you will all use to listen in with, is what we headphones."
"Oooohhh...."
Everyone's eyes opened in shock the more they listened to Tim.
So these headphones will allow them to crank up the volume without others around them listening in?
This was great!
Now, when someone wanted to listen to the news, and they didn't, they could just find out and do their one thing.
Damn!
What sort of fairy device is this?
(°0°)
.
According to Overseer Tim, even though there was another production currently working on this playing device (music players), while they stuck to the headphones.
Well, they also learnt that they would also be creating earphones, which were supposed to be different from headphones.
Tim, Wiggins and the rest were the ones smiling from molar to molar.
These people couldn't see it, but they knew that bigger changes were about to come in Baymard.
Yes. They would start selling headphones, earphones and music pods/players sometime this coming Spring.
But they knew that even with this, the integration of headphones wouldn't fully get integrated into Baymard... until computers and the internet come in a year and 6 months later.
Like his majesty had said, all customer services would start using these headphones and their computers to do things.
A great wave of change would soon grace Baymard's doorsteps once soon enough.
And by that time, they would once again make history!
.
With all the introductions completed, it was finally time to get to work by educating them on the functions of each part.
"Everyone, please choose a workstation and take a seat.
I expect 3 people at each workstation!"
Just like that, things started kicking off.
"Sir. Why is the mesh area made in this way?"
"It's to allow sound waves to pass instead of reflecting back into the headphones."
"Sir, why is the plastic membrane thin on the outside but thick on the inside?"
"We do that for a wide and flat audio frequency range."
"Sir..."
"Sir..."
"Sir..."
Now, all that was left was for his majesty to come back in 2 days' time and approve of some things.
It was just that with the way his majesty moved, even they thought he moved like a ghost.
He should be coming back after his mission, right?
.
And so just like, headphone production began.
Again, Baymard was immersed in its peaceful ways... But far away, some matters were stirring up wildly.
In a massive hidden estate, 13 women with long pointed fingers, all sat alongside each other, looking at a portrait calmly.
"Sisters!... There's no mistake.
She is the one we need."
"Yes... She will make our spell realized."
"We need this new toy captured.
Only in this way can we, the Witches of the Avodart, succeed in our plans!"
"Witches!"
"Witches!"
"Witches!"
"Witches!"
The women chanted while staring at the portrait cruelly.
Princess Lucy, aye?
What a fine specimen!
