"The telephone is definitely a turning point for Daqin Communications, and it must be popularized...!"
Under the expectant gazes of Ying Zheng, Wang Ben and others, Ying Feiyu continued: "However, the most important point in popularizing telephones is not the production of telephones, but telephone lines!"
"telephone line?"
On the day of the phone test, everyone was focused on whether the sound could come out of the phone and didn't even notice there were any other phone lines.
"I seem to see a line. Isn't that an ordinary wire?"
The attentive Chun Yuyue seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"No, although telephone lines can also conduct electricity, there is a difference between the two!"
Ying Feiyu shook his head and said.
"What? The production of telephones is more difficult than that of wires?"
Ying Zheng asked from the side.
"It's not that it's difficult, but Daqin's current copper mines are limited. It needs to produce copper coins and wires. In addition, copper is used in some parts of trains and cars. The copper mines dug out every year are somewhat The supply exceeds the demand! Coupled with telephone lines, the consumption of copper mines will be even higher, which will inevitably affect the first few!"
Ying Feiyu was absent-minded this morning, and he was also thinking about this issue.
Although there are many copper mines that can be found by using the system, he does not want the country to develop and consume all the resources, laying hidden dangers for future generations!
We can only preserve the mineral deposits that can be preserved as much as possible, and let future generations slowly develop them!
"Electricity is widely used and must be popularized. It must not be stopped!"
Ying Zheng said firmly.
"The Emperor is right! But trains and cars are of great help to people's travel, and they must not be stopped!"
Meng Yi thought for a moment and then spoke with a serious face.
"Copper coins are the currency of our Great Qin. People use them every day, and production must not be stopped!"
Speaking of money, Zhang Han looked nervous, as if he was afraid that he would no longer be able to make copper coins.
Nowadays, large transactions must be done with banknotes.
But small transactions between people, such as buying food, drinking tea, etc., still use copper coins!
"This can't be stopped, and that can't be reduced. Is it possible that the phone has been developed but cannot be used?"
Thinking of these, Ying Zheng suddenly became upset.
"Ah? Wouldn't that be a waste of research energy?"
"It's such a pity that it took so long and so much energy, only to succeed but not be able to use it!"
"well……!"
The old guys also took it seriously, with disappointment written all over their faces.
"I don't care what method you kid uses, phones must be popular anyway! If it doesn't work, just mine it from overseas, refine it into copper and then ship it back!"
In order to be able to use the phone, Ying Zheng also went to great lengths.
"Father, if this happens, the cost will increase significantly!"
Ying Feiyu raised his eyebrows and reminded with a smirk.
"If it increases, it will increase! It's not like I, Da Qin, don't have money...!"
Ying Zheng was resolute, and Hao Heng said: "I don't have enough copper mines in Daqin. I don't believe there are enough overseas states to have enough. After it is shipped back by ship, won't the phone line problem be solved?"
"Haha! Now the mainland of Daqin has indeed been solved! But have you ever thought about what future generations will do? With the growth of population, the population of all states will skyrocket in the future, and electricity and telephones will also be universally available! Now all states will All the copper mines are mined and used, what should we do in the future?”
Ying Feiyu deliberately made things difficult.
"Um...this...?"
Sure enough, after Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately got into trouble.
Just now I was only thinking about solving the current predicament, but I forgot to consider future generations.
Fortunately, that kid warned me, otherwise I would have made the wrong decision!
"Your Majesty, you are very resourceful. You must have a way to solve this situation, right?"
Meng Yi's sharp eyes noticed that when Ying Feiyu said these words, his expression was somewhat proud.
I guess I've figured out a solution!
"Haha...! I have an idea!"
"You brat, since you already have a solution, why are you talking to me about all this nonsense...?"
Seeing his smile, Ying Zheng immediately became displeased, "Aren't you guys teasing me? Tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"
"aluminum!"
Ying Zheng asked sternly, Ying Feiyu stopped trying to be pretentious and just uttered a word.
"aluminum?"
The old guys repeated it with doubtful expressions.
"That's right! Copper coins and car parts require copper, you can't change that! But wires can replace copper with aluminum!"
"So, aluminum is also an ore and can also conduct electricity?"
Veterans are very unfamiliar with this mineral, and this is the first time they have heard of it.
"Yes! Aluminum conducts electricity very well and can completely replace copper wires!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"You brat, since you already have a solution, why do you need to raise difficult problems and make us old guys have trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately scolded by Ying Zheng.
It wasn't until now that he realized that this kid did it on purpose!
"Hehe! My father is wrong to say that! The copper wire problem is indeed very difficult, and I have been worrying about it for a long time. It was only just now that I came up with a solution!"
Anyway, the scumbag father is not a tapeworm in her belly. It is impossible to know his true thoughts, let alone when he thought of using aluminum to replace copper.
"Hmph! You brat, you can always find all kinds of excuses. If it weren't for me...!"
Ying Zheng is not stupid. At this point, he still can't see the truth?
It made his teeth itch with hatred.
If this kid hadn't been so powerful, he would have started to fix this kid a few years ago. How could he be so rampant?
"How is Father?"
"If it weren't for me... I...? If it weren't for me that I have already reached the Zen position, I would definitely lead someone to solve this matter!"
In front of so many people, he definitely couldn't admit that he didn't dare to deal with him because of his skill.
I could only change the subject and find an excuse!
"There are so many talented people in the DPRK and China, and they have already developed telephones, how can they still trap a small copper mine?"
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with the excuse he made.
"Since my father has been idle recently, why not let him handle this matter? Let's put aside the aluminum ore issue first. It would also be good to leave more mineral deposits for future generations!"
Since the scumbag wants to pretend, Ying Feiyu can't stop him. He must be given a chance to let him pretend properly.
"No, no, no! I have already reached the Zen position, so I won't take the credit from you. You should arrange for someone to handle it...!"
Ying Zheng waved his hands repeatedly. Besides increasing the mining of copper mines, what other methods could he have? "Whether copper ore or aluminum ore, they are Daqin's mineral deposits. Use some and use less. It is better to mine evenly! Haha!"
