They were all safe messages, and there were many about stock harvesting, and there were even some messages among the telegraph operators joking with each other.
"This is really amazing." Qili nodded from time to time and responded to the telegraph operator, as if she was listening attentively.
The telegraph operator seemed to be encouraged and worked harder to explain.
Suddenly he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Do you know what the dots and dashes in Morse code mean?"
Qili looked at his look that meant you knew nothing, smiled softly, nodded cooperatively, and asked, "I may not know, but what does it mean?"
The telegraph operator was very satisfied, then took out a pen and paper and continued to explain patiently, "These dots and dashes represent different voltages and currents respectively. The dots represent a short pulse current, and the dashes represent a long pulse current. , these currents are passed through wires and can be picked up and decoded by receivers thousands of miles away."
"This is really amazing, communication is realized in this way!" Qili said in surprise, and expressed her admiration for the person who invented this thing, "The person who invented these things is simply a genius!"
The telegraph operator smiled proudly, nodded, and continued, "Let's continue, beautiful lady."
"Okay!" Qili nodded.
The telegraph operator went into more detail. He said, "The letter A is represented by ·-, the letter B is represented by -···, and so on. Numbers and symbols also have corresponding Morse codes. For example, the number 1 is represented by ·, and the number 1 is represented by ·. 2 is represented by ··, and the exclamation point is represented by ---..."
Under his guidance, Qili began to try to memorize the Morse code of each letter.
The telegraph operator patiently guided her and continued to encourage her. He said, "As long as you practice more, you will be able to master this skill skillfully. Although it seems useless now, you may not be able to use it, dear lady, but as time goes by, With the development of science and technology, if a war breaks out that day, you will definitely be able to use it."
"You are very foresighted." Qili agreed with him.
"Thank you for the compliment, beautiful lady." The telegraph operator was very impressed and stood up and bowed to Qili.
She almost understood everything that needed to be understood. In order not to delay the telegraph operator's business, Qili was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she said to the telegraph operator, "Your job is really an important job. I can say that it is the most important position besides the captain. I admire you very much for being responsible for so many important information transmission tasks. You must be under a lot of pressure."
The telegraph operator touched his nose guiltily, and then said seriously, "You are right, I will treat this job more cautiously, and I will be responsible for the safety, accuracy, and timeliness of this information. Thank you, beautiful lady, for reminding me. "
Anyway, he thought, today was a pleasant day, he taught a beautiful lady about a new technique.
Qili opened her mouth and smiled and said, "You are an excellent telegraph operator. Thank you for your hard work! I look forward to meeting you next time."
The telegraph operator raised his eyebrows and made an invitation gesture to her, "Okay, beautiful lady, please go slowly. I also look forward to meeting you next time."
"Okay, then I won't disturb your work. Goodbye." After Qili said that, she walked out of the room and waved back to him.
"Goodbye!" The telegraph operator also waved to her.
Qili left the mail room, and she was going to go to the deck outside to take a look.
In the mailroom, the telegraph operator started his work again, and now he seemed much more serious than before.
[Plot line unlocked 72%]
Qili listened to the voice ringing in her ears. Is this 72%? It seemed that just as she had guessed, the telegraph link was also an important part of why the ship was not rescued when it sank.
After getting through this link, she felt much more at ease.
Even if the disaster cannot be prevented and the ship sinks again, as long as the normal sending and receiving of telegrams is ensured, surrounding ships can be requested for rescue when a disaster occurs.
She had just seen the chat between the telegraph operator and the telegraph operators from several nearby ships. They were not far away. If a disaster occurred, rescue would definitely be available in time.
As long as everyone is saved, you can achieve an excellent pass.
The worst thing is to wait for rescue alive. If she clears the level normally, she only needs to survive and board the lifeboat.
However, passing the level normally can only save your own life, and the national luck value will not increase at all. This is the worst plan.
Before that, she still wanted to try her best to improve her national fortune.
This way the world can be destroyed later.

The deck outside the wheelhouse is the lookout tower.
The sea breeze was strong and howling.
Standing on the deck, you can hear the whistling sound of the sea breeze passing through the long corridor below.
Qili was almost unsteady due to the strong wind, but the ship still sailed steadily.
It's an excellent ship, yes.
The lookout held on to the railing with both hands, watching for a while and then went into the lounge behind them to rest for a while. The lookout seemed to be only one person, and no one was arranged to change his guard.
The lookout and the first mate came out of the lounge together again. They looked at the blue sea and talked.
Because the wind was so loud, they had to turn up the volume.
They didn't notice Qili on the other side, who eavesdropped on their conversation openly.
The first mate held the railing with his hand, stabilized his body, and talked to the lookout beside him, "Hey! Charlie, the wind is really strong today, what do you think?"
The lookout held the railing with one hand, put the fingers of the other hand together like a military salute, covered his eyes, and looked ahead with his naked eyes.
He frowned and said, "Yes, first mate, I saw it too. The waves are a bit big. We have to drive more carefully. Fortunately, the captain ordered to slow down the sailing speed yesterday. Safety is the first priority."
The first mate also agreed with his point of view. He smiled and said, "Yes, we have to stay vigilant. This ship is filled with more than 3,000 passengers. We cannot let them die in this beautiful sea."
The sea breeze howled, ruffling the hair under their hats.
The lookout narrowed his eyes and continued, "I have very good eyesight and can detect any potential danger in time."
The first mate patted the young lookout on the shoulder and said, "Very good. This puts my mind at ease. Remember, our duty is to ensure the safety of the ship. We cannot allow any mistakes or negligence on this ship."
They have a heavy responsibility, and the news that the Prometheus is about to make its maiden voyage is so eye-catching. As soon as the news came out, it made the front pages of major newspapers.
The first-class cabin on the ship was occupied by many of the most expensive guests, including politicians, businessmen, celebrities and nobles, and so on.
