Chapter 251 Television in the Magical World

"Double-sided mirror trial?" Ryan thought about it for a moment: "I remember Fred mentioned that the double-sided mirror you made this time seems to be a one-to-many transmission screen?"

"Well, yes." Vader explained: "It's like a Muggle TV show. One mother mirror acts as a TV station, and many sub-mirrors are TVs."

"Then all wizards in Britain can see our game?"

Ryan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he glanced uneasily at Harry and others who were discussing preparations for the game.

Everyone has been looking forward to it and preparing for it for so long. If you say you want to quit...wouldn't it be unethical?

Vader smiled: "If everything goes well, wizards all over the world should be able to see the same picture in the future. But this time only employees of Aslan's Magic Workshop are responsible for testing the sub-mirror... Of course, Remus and Sirius It can also be seen."

Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, he no longer has to struggle between friendship and his heart.

Although there were some extra spectators, compared to the wizards in the UK, Ryan felt that it was still acceptable.

After worry subsided, curiosity began to take over again.

“Then will mirrors be sold in stores in the future like TVs?”

"Of course." Wade said.

"So we can see Celestine singing in there, and we can see..."

He thought back to the TV programs he had seen.

"Can we still see Mr. Bean getting his teeth filled?"

"It was a TV series. It was obtained by acting out fragmented scenes according to the script, shooting and editing. However, the double-sided mirror can only live broadcast, that is, everything that happens in front of the master mirror is transmitted to all the sub-mirrors in real time."

Ryan seemed to understand.

Vader was actually more surprised.

Because he knew that Ryan's grandmother was a Muggle, his father was a Muggle wizard, and their family also had many Muggle relatives. But Ryan's understanding of Muggles was about the same as that of "Muggle lovers" like the Weasleys.

I know a little bit about the surface, but I don’t really understand it deeply.

So Wade explained to him the difference between the two in an easy-to-understand way.

Then he added: "Of course, there are not many activities suitable for broadcasting like the Challenge. So I thought that Muggle TV programs could be broadcasted using a mother mirror, so that the electronic signals would not be affected by the magical magnetic field."

The best thing is that they can choose TV programs from all over the world without paying broadcast fees.

This will also allow the wizarding world to better understand the lives of ordinary people, so that they will not make jokes like they are obviously neighbors, but they can't even tell the difference between pajamas and formal wear.

——Vade used this reason to convince Dumbledore to agree to his experiment.

Although he felt that if he made the request directly, the principal would probably not refuse. But certain habits left in his genes made Wade subconsciously use a reason that sounded more orthodox and grand.

"Then I must buy a mirror. During the summer vacation, remember to broadcast Mr. Bean!" Ryan said with anticipation: "I have watched two episodes at my uncle's house before, but I didn't have the chance to finish them."

"Of course, we'll definitely be bringing in a variety of great Muggle TV shows."

Wade suddenly realized that his statement was too "official". Maybe he got used to it when he was corresponding with Mr. Marchionne, and he still hasn't changed it yet.

He coughed: "I will inform you in advance when the time comes... How about two episodes a day?"

Ryan thought for a while: "Actually... I can work from morning till night."

He blinked and looked at Vader, his meaning was very obvious.

Vader laughed: "Okay! Then stop when you are tired of watching it. We can replay it two or three times... There will definitely be many people who like it."

The entertainment options for wizards are actually very limited.

Although in Vader's opinion, magic is the most interesting thing in the world. But to 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 spare time.

Vader can almost see the explosive scene after their double-sided mirror is launched.

Theo, who had been listening silently for an unknown amount of time, suddenly said: "In this case, the name 'Two-Way Mirror' seems a bit inappropriate. Maybe you should give it a special name."

Wade thought for a moment and said, "What about streaming mirror? After all, it is also a streaming media technology."

It's a pity that no one here understands what "streaming media" is. Theo and Ryan both smiled blankly and politely.

"Sounds good," they said.

Time flies by, and many students feel that they are just rushing to gather the participating teams, and mid-May has already arrived.

During this period of time, Vader and Weasley also took the time to go to Hogsmeade and communicate with Marchionne again about the details of the first broadcast of the "Mirror".

Marchionne sent dozens of employees, carrying sub-mirrors of different sizes, to different locations in the UK and surrounding countries to test the effect of the broadcast.

In the living room of Lupin's house, Vader also formally signed a contract with the Weasley twins.

"If the income is good, you can just share it with us."

George, who had just started doing business in school to make money, was a little embarrassed. He scratched his face and said, "Most of the flow mirror was your idea, and without your alchemy skills, we wouldn't have been able to complete it."

"We are friends, we don't have to worry too much about these things." Fred also said: "And being able to complete this work itself is the biggest reward for me!"

Before Wade could speak, Marchionne next to him laughed.

"Precisely because you are friends, you must clarify the principles of distribution at the beginning, so that there will be no conflicts in the future."

He looked at the two potential future alchemists and said gently:

"You should be rewarded for your efforts, because no matter how small your contribution is, it is still part of the success. If there is only effort without reward, everything will be destroyed, including your current friendship."

The twin brothers looked at each other, somewhat unconvinced that they would change in the future, but at the same time they felt inexplicably convincing.

Marchionne smiled and said: "Of course, this is just an elder's suggestion - I have seen too many similar things, so I can't help but want to warn you. You still have to decide for yourself how to do it. ”

The twins looked at Wade and saw him nodding, his eyes showing sincerity and seriousness.

How strange.

He is obviously younger, but he is like an elder, making people involuntarily convinced.

The twins raised their quills.
