God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 370: What Did You Do?

"A projection?!"

The apprentice was genuinely shocked.

But thinking about it carefully, looking more closely, and testing with his arm—sure enough, it really was a projection.

"I never thought that in the short time we were away, magic-tech projectors would develop to this level." The apprentice finally couldn’t help but sigh.

"Tell me about it." The wild mage was also pretty surprised. "I never imagined they could make such realistic projections. I wonder who made this, but it does seem to have some uses."

"What uses?" the apprentice asked with a smile.

The apprentice was also surprised by the appearance of this projection, but he couldn’t think of any uses for it off the top of his head.

No matter how realistic, it was still just a projection—just something to look at.

"We could install one of these in the biggest plaza in every city, link them through the Magic Net, then have the Church of Love and Beauty people do special livestreams and project 3D holograms. Then we advertise and promote our products—like magic-powered vehicles. That way, whenever we develop a new magic-powered vehicle model, we can display it directly in the center of every city."

The wild mage smiled. "Sure, this kind of display is just for viewing, but compared to pictures on the Magic Net, it’d definitely be way clearer."

"But how can you guarantee these images can be transmitted through the Magic Net? The Magic Net has always transmitted videos and pictures. To transmit such realistic images would probably be..."

Before the apprentice could finish, and while the wild mage was still thinking, a voice came from nearby. "I don’t know what the principle is, but the images you’re seeing right now—I’m broadcasting them through the Magic Net and the new projector."

"I knew it. Only you could’ve developed a projector like this." The wild mage looked at the person approaching and smiled. "You really had us fooled with that trick."

"Honestly, I’m more surprised by the idea you just came up with. I never thought this 3D projector could be used that way."

The projector inventor smiled. "But listening to it now, it does sound pretty great. Maybe we could produce a batch and sell them to those rich folks at the Golden Merchant Guild."

"If the cost wasn’t still too high, maybe we could popularize it even more. Like, when watching a livestream, the streamer in front of you becomes three-dimensional... Though I guess the only people who could afford that would be the top-tier nobles. Better not think about it."

"That wasn’t your original plan?"

The wild mage was curious. "Then why did you develop this?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence?" The projector inventor said somewhat helplessly. "A while back, didn’t a magic film show up on the Magic Net?"

Everyone was so familiar with each other and working toward the same goals. Plus they all knew each other inside and out, so the projector inventor didn’t waste time—he just straight-up explained what he’d been up to recently.

He’d promised the new theater he’d develop some clearer projectors—the kind where even if a thousand people were watching at once, they could all see clearly. So whenever he had free time, he’d been improving his projector.

But unexpectedly, while the projector was getting clearer, it somehow also became three-dimensional.

And that’s how he achieved what they were seeing now.

He’d made this last night and decided to test it around the lab today.

"So you’re saying you’re planning to send this projector to the theater?" The apprentice had been listening on the side and never expected it would be this kind of process. He immediately asked.

"No, actually I hadn’t even figured out what this could be used for until the wild mage said all that." The projector inventor shrugged. "The new theater doesn’t need a projector like this, unless they invent some new kind of performance."

"I still need to keep researching my clearer projector. As for how to specifically use this one, I’m not really planning to deal with it. I’ll just hand it over to the people at the Invention Management Association later. Anyway, if they really produce and sell it, they’ll definitely give me money, right?"

The so-called Invention Management Association was actually a department under Roster Territory Group Company. It used to be independent.

But when Roster Territory Group Company went public, it got merged in.

This association had only one task: to serve anyone in the territory who invented or created something—whether they were R&D personnel, technical staff, frontline production workers, or anyone else.

Anyone who invented something could send it over. They’d research and evaluate it, determine whether it should be sent to the factory for production, how it should be sold once produced, and so on.

As long as it was determined to be valuable, after a whole process—once it was sold and made money—they’d send the inventor their share of the profits.

It was precisely because of this organization that Roster Territory Group Company kept constantly churning out one excellent magic conductor after another.

The projector inventor’s thinking was super simple—as simple as it gets. Invent something, send it over. If it makes money, the money comes naturally. If it doesn’t make money, let those people worry about it. He had time—might as well do more research.

Who knows, maybe he’d develop some blockbuster product!

"True, we don’t need to worry about commercialization anyway." The wild mage nodded. "Then hurry up and put away the projector. Don’t you want us to go back to the lab? You guys didn’t blow up the lab while we were gone, did you?"

"No way!" The projector inventor shook his head frantically, his tone firm. "During this time in the lab, we only had four small explosions. They wouldn’t cause any damage to the lab at all."

Four small explosions?!

"Then why didn’t you report them in the work chat?!" The wild mage suddenly had a bad feeling and urged the projector inventor to quickly remove the projection.

Actually, they knew that the wild mage would see the lab’s condition sooner or later. No matter what they did, they could only cover it up for a short time at best.

But he didn’t realize that sometimes the worst thing wasn’t seeing the worst right away—it was seeing something good and then immediately seeing something bad. That kind of impact, that kind of contrast, was truly terrifying.

The instant the 3D projector shut off, the wild mage’s roar also rang out. "You call this a small explosion?!"

The open space around the lab used to be used for displaying vehicles and stuff. While it wasn’t exactly smooth, at most it had some bumps and dips.

But now?

All he could see was scorched black earth.

About a fifth of the lab had already collapsed, and everywhere was pitch black.

There were also quite a few workers nearby doing repairs.

The wild mage felt dizzy and almost fainted. "What did you do? How could it have this much power? Does Viscount Roster know about this?!"
