"Marquis Yong'an, if I heard correctly just now, that gentleman was explaining the principles of the telegraph machine to the students?"
Arriving at the conference room on the first floor of Guanghua Building, Li Er motioned to Li Zexuan to close the door. Then he looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
Li Zexuan didn't know what Li Er meant by his question, but he still replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Mo said before is just the most basic theoretical knowledge used in telegraph machines."
"The most basic knowledge? What happened to the most basic knowledge? If foreigners learn these most basic knowledge, wouldn't it be possible for them to build a telegraph machine?"
Li Er interrupted Li Zexuan mercilessly. He said with a gloomy face: "I asked you to found the Yanhuang Academy to enlighten the people's wisdom, not to let you leak the military secrets of our Datang. The telegraph machine is the highest equipment in our Datang." Military secrets, but you make its principles public so easily. Have you considered the consequences?
This time the imperial court sent troops to Zhengzhou, and before Cui Junchuo sent his troops to attack Luoyang, they completed the siege of Guancheng County in time. In the subsequent siege battle, Li Jing and Liu Rengui cooperated inside and outside, and entered the city without spending a single soldier. These relied on What is it? You must know better than me!
It is conceivable that if the telegraph technology falls into the hands of the enemy, how much trouble will it bring to the Tang Dynasty? As the headmaster of Yanhuang Academy, why haven't you thought about this~? "
Li Er said a lot of "bah bah bah", without giving Li Zexuan a chance to interrupt in the middle. It was obvious that he was quite angry now.
It is precisely because of this recent war that Li Er saw the important role of the telegraph machine in military and national defense, so he has such a big reaction now!
When Li Zexuan saw that Li Er had finally finished speaking, he quickly took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, knowing the principle of a telegraph machine and making a telegraph machine are completely different things. Just like people know that food is grown in the ground, but everyone knows that food is grown in the ground. Do they all farm? Of course not!
I introduce these to students in the "Physics" textbook to let them know all the characteristics of things in the world and broaden their horizons, so that they can create more valuable things in the future!
When a wise man thinks a lot, he will surely lose one of his ministers. Although I am proficient in engineering, my abilities are limited after all. I need many engineering successors to help me overcome more technical difficulties. If I blindly cherish my own things, once I get old or die, engineering will quickly decline and there will be no successors. ! "
Li Zexuan felt that he needed to explain to Lao Li the gap between theory and practice, and by the way, change Li Er's long-held philosophy.
This question is actually very simple. In modern times, it can be said that 90% of college students and even high school students know the working principle of telegraph machines, but can they all make telegraph machines? Obviously it's impossible. It would be great if only 5% of the 90% of students can make telegraph machines!
Another example is atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Many people know the explosion principles of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. One is nuclear fission and the other is nuclear fusion. But there are so many people who know the principles. Why are there so few countries with nuclear weapons in the world? ?
There is a big gap between theory and practice.
It is impossible for a person who knows the principles to know everything in practice. These are completely different things!
Li Er's face turned slightly, and he doubted the letter: "According to you, even if all this knowledge is leaked to foreign countries, it will be difficult for our enemies to imitate the telegraph machine?"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the truth. Even if they figure out how to make a telegraph machine, by that time, we may have produced a more advanced telegraph machine with a longer transmission distance and better message transmission." Stablize!
Moreover, even though I say this, this knowledge is unique to our Tang Dynasty. Currently, only students from Yanhuang Academy are eligible to learn it, and I will also ask them to keep it confidential. Even if students from outside or envoys from other countries enter the academy, they will not be able to see this knowledge!
What your Majesty said today can be regarded as a reminder to me. In the future, I will strengthen the education, rewards and punishments of the academy students' confidentiality awareness. From now on, the enrollment of Yanhuang Academy will focus on examining whether the students are patriotic and prevent evil villains from sneaking into the academy and stealing. Knowledge!
I will outline a charter for these things as soon as possible, and then hand them over to Mr. Kong Gui and Mr. Wen Ji for strict implementation, to further eliminate the possibility of the academy’s gentlemen and students leaking the academy’s knowledge! "
Li Er's expression finally improved, and he nodded and said: "Well! That's more or less the same! Yanhuang Academy will definitely be an important weapon of the country in the future. I will attach great importance to it. Don't give me a bad look. You must also pay attention to the management of the academy. !”
Although the Yanhuang Academy has only been established for less than a year and has not fully blossomed yet, Li Er can already see the important role that the Yanhuang Academy played in the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.
"I obey the decree!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
Li Er waved his hand and said seriously: "Okay! Let's get back to the topic, I came today because I have something to tell you!"
Li Zexuan felt doubtful in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, please speak!"
Li Er pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This time to resolve the crisis in Luoyang and capture Guancheng, the telegraph machine played an extremely crucial role. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. The generals behind the enemy need the latest frontline news, and the frontline soldiers need the generals. The latest instructions sent, the telegraph machine perfectly solved all the problems. This thing is simply an artifact of military communication!
The pharmacist mentioned to me in his report that he wanted to fully implement telegraph machines in the army. I think what the pharmacist said is very reasonable. So, firstly, Marquis Yong'an, please see if you can try to make another batch of telegraph machines that are needed in the army; secondly, no one in the army will use telegraph machines now, or you can ask your students to Teach the sergeants how to use the telegraph machine, or you can directly send a group of students into the army to take charge of the telegraph machine! "
Li Zexuan frowned slightly when he heard this. He did not expect that Li Er would be so eager to promote the telegraph machine. The problem is that the current telegraph machine is still in the experimental stage. If it is to be put into large-scale use, many problems need to be solved!
"Your Majesty, the current telegraph technology is not yet mature. I suggest that you wait a little longer until the academy improves the telegraph machine before promoting it to the army! Don't be too hasty!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said.
Li Er was a little reluctant and said: "What you mean by immaturity should mean that the current telegraph transmission distance is not far enough, right? But there is already a solution. This time Guancheng counterattacked the rebellion, Li Yu was in Songyue The top of the temple tower and Meng Wenhao on the fairy lantern can transmit information to Chang'an City, which is more than 400 miles away. This is enough! In the worst case, when the army goes out on an expedition, just bring a few fairy lanterns with the army! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, using a telegraph machine to send telegrams at high altitudes can certainly increase the transmission distance, but there is also a limit. As far as our existing telegraph machines are concerned, I estimate that these four hundred miles are probably a limit. Distance, if you choose again, it may not work!
Moreover, if you send a telegram every time, you need to climb on top of a very tall fairy lamp, which is very detrimental to the concealment of the army! What should we do if our army needs to sneak behind enemy lines? Could it be possible to raise a fairy lantern? Doesn't that clearly tell the enemy the location of our army?
So please give me some more time. By then, the telegraph machine that has been renovated by the academy will not only be able to transmit messages at a longer distance, but also when sending telegrams, you only need to send them on flat ground! Such a telegraph machine is more suitable for promotion in the military! "
After hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but feel a little moved on his face. He asked uncertainly: "Can this kind of telegraph machine really be made?"
"Absolutely!"
Li Zexuan replied affirmatively.
Li Er nodded and said, "Okay! How long do you need?"
Li Zexuan thought for a moment and replied: "It can take as little as half a year, or as long as one year. Because the transformation of the telegraph machine requires searching and refining several special materials, I cannot give your Majesty a very precise time!"
Li Er did not ask Li Zexuan what materials he needed, because he knew that asking would be in vain. He must not have any, otherwise Li Zexuan would borrow them directly from him instead of searching hard, so Li Er said directly:
"I know that you have sent people to search for various minerals before. As long as it is helpful for making telegraph machines, I can give you any minerals! If you don't have enough manpower to search for mineral deposits, I can also allocate funds. Give you some manpower!
If I remember correctly, there are two people in the Forbidden Army who are brothers. Their ancestors are Taoist warlocks who specialize in finding dragon acupoints. Although these two people have not learned the family tradition, they have also been to most places in the Tang Dynasty. In most places, if you need people to search for minerals, I can send them to follow you and help you find useful mineral veins all over the world! "
"We need it! Your Majesty, to be honest, I am short of everything right now, but I am short of manpower!"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. When he sent Ah Fu to Bashu to search for vanadium mines, he had thought about setting up a team dedicated to searching for vanadium mines. However, he had never found the corresponding talents. Unexpectedly, Lao Li actually came directly today. Bring him warmth.
This warmth is really timely!
Li Er couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay! I will ask them to come to you when the time comes! One of these two people is called Liu Feng and the other is Liu Yun. In addition to being well-informed, the two of them are also good at martial arts. In the future, they will help After you finish searching for the mineral veins, I will stay here as your bodyguard! You and Yanhuang Academy are both of great importance to the Tang Dynasty, so there must be no mistakes!"
"Ah~?"
Li Zexuan was stunned when he heard this. He quickly waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you absolutely can't do it! The two of them are palace guards, how can they be the minister's guards? Your Majesty, please take back your orders!"
Pang Feiji had been investigating the whereabouts of the "Taibai Four Ghosts" for several months without success. At that time, Li Zexuan had thought about expanding a group of guards. Although he was indeed short of guards, he couldn't use the imperial guards as guards. You must know that the imperial palace guards are equivalent to The emperor's personal guard, if you serve as his bodyguard, that would be a taboo!
"It doesn't matter! You just need to improve the telegraph machine as soon as possible. If this is accomplished, I will protect the honor of Yanhuang Academy for eternity and be with the country!"
Li Er waved his hand and said without comment.
After that, he left directly without caring about Li Zexuan's reaction!
