Chapter 259: Integrated Circuits
David nervously held the papers in his hand. "Prince, um, here is—"
"Wait," said Kazi. Not yet. The deep details weren’t going to convince him. The prince required a broader understanding of their plans. "Integrated circuits will take up half of our focus. The other half will be for phones, cameras, and appliances. Even a fan-favourite: coffee." Kazi winked.
Prince Yuzin was very much listening, even though he didn’t show it. "...a new type of coffee machine?"
"With settings for all the many kinds. Cappuccino, espresso, and latte with just a button. By storing information in this tiny circuit and giving it instructions."
This time, the prince opened his eyes and unfolded his legs. He shuffled off the desk and circled over to his seat. He sat down and put his hands on his lap. "Continue," Prince Yuzin said.
’Now we’re getting somewhere.’
"The largest industry is of course sports and war. Why? Because it serves as excellent entertainment that funnels right into the biggest money maker—the Heavenly Tower."
"Mhm."
"On Earth in the modern era," Kazi clarified, "the industry that has risen the most is electronics. Televisions and cell phones have changed communications and information sharing forever. With a small click of a button, someone can make any type of coffee. With another small click, someone from China can talk to their friend in the Americas. It is the ultimate convenience and convenience is what the people of all worlds desire above all. Convenient clean water, convenient tools, and convenient entertaining sports."
