After returning home, Li Yu received a telegram from the United States. Lan Zouzhou reported on the recent progress. The production of electronic ignition systems in the Detroit factory has been relatively smooth, but the production speed has not been able to increase. On the one hand, it is small in scale and has few manpower, and on the other hand, there are still deficiencies in management.
But overall it's looking good. As for radio equipment, there are also many wealthy people preparing to order it, and they have initially developed a weak production capacity.
It’s just that Tesla put a little less energy into this. After all, he still has feelings for his old lover.
He never forgets "wireless power transmission" and often goes to Wardenclyffe Tower. He is also preparing to light up the night sky of New York with artificial lightning.
Li Yu returned the telegram and asked Zou Zhou to participate in the production of wireless receiving devices as much as possible. After making them as soon as possible, he would send ten to twenty units to China.
Although there is not much domestic demand for this at present, the initial stage is a good stage for building reputation and market. With orders, investment will be made to further increase production capacity.
Li Yu also asked Zou Zhou to find Situ Meitang, the elder of Hongmen, and recruit 20 more Chinese people with good foundations who had previously signed up in Chinatown, Manhattan, New York. They would first study in the laboratory on Fifth Avenue, and then resume training after the training was completed. Enter the factory.
Lan Li Yu plans to find a production base in China, and then bring back a group of experienced and skilled workers to serve as the technical backbone.
This is also a relatively time-consuming process, and a group of good blue-collar workers is very valuable. It's a pity that the factory's capacity is still limited because there are a large number of Chinese who want to enter.
Zou Zhou is a very enthusiastic person who regards the factory as his lifelong career. During this period, Li Yu studied some mechanical devices when he had nothing to do at his house in Beijing, and continued to write mathematical papers.
Considering that he is going to Europe in the near future, Li Yu really needs to sort out the hidden things in his brain as soon as possible.
In terms of mechanical devices, Li Yu is currently preparing several automobile patents. Now that the electronic ignition system has been developed, car lights can be born.
All together it is the prototype of the automotive electrical system. And with car lights, cars can drive at night and take advantage of competition from traditional horse-drawn carriages.
Car lights are also not a complicated patent, but there is currently no laboratory, making manual manufacturing a bit troublesome.
So Li Yu sent a telegram to Zhong Guanguang of the Shanghai Instrument Museum and asked him to help buy some equipment. The instrument museum does have some electrical equipment, but Zhong Guanguang only knows a little about the terms of some of the physical experimental devices mentioned by Li Yu.
Li Yu had no choice but to send a telegram to Tokyo in person. He first sent it to Liang Qichao. Unexpectedly, Liang Qichao's newspaper reported back that he had left for the United States.
I have no choice but to find Brother Xun. When Lu Xun in Tokyo received Li Yu's telegram late at night, everyone was confused: "What is written on it!?" Lu Xun was at the office of the newly founded magazine "Zhejiang Chao" at this time.
"Brother Shuren, your article "Soul of Sparta" is very good. It can be published in the next issue." The speaker was Jiang Baili, the founder of "Zhejiang Chao" magazine, which is very popular among the Japanese community. .
This famous military elder in later generations is now also a student studying in Japan. He came up at the age of 20, one year younger than Lu Xun. He is studying at the Army Sergeant School, a school that even Chiang Kai-shek dreamed of getting a diploma from.
One more thing, although Jiang Baili and Lao Jiang were both surnamed Jiang, and later became key bosses of the Kuomintang, they were not related at all.
——Unless you say five hundred years ago. Since the publication of "Zhejiang Chao" magazine, Lu Xun liked it very much and even wrote and contributed articles himself.
It's just that his writing style is far less sharp now than it was later. This "Ghost of Sparta" is not a very insightful work. It mainly encourages the domestic anti-Russian movement by telling the attitude of Sparta, a small country in Western history, that is not afraid of Persia.
The key point is that this article is written in classical Chinese, which makes it even more difficult to bring out Brother Xun’s style. Lu Xun did not respond for a moment after hearing Jiang Baili's words. Instead, he looked at the telegram and was thinking with a frown.
Jiang Baili asked again: "Brother Shuren, why are you in a daze? Who sent the telegram?" Lu Xun came back to his senses and said: "It was sent from China, and the sender is Li Yu."
"Li Yu?" Jiang Baili was stunned,
"That scientific genius?" Lu Xun nodded: "That's him." Jiang Baili was surprised: "You actually know this god-like person!" Lu Xun smiled: "I met him before he came to Japan. In fact, we are about the same age." Jiang Baili said, "You couldn't have written to him all the way to ask for advice, right?" Lu Xun shook his head: "It was the 'gods' who gave me a difficult problem." Jiang Baili asked. : "What's the problem?" Lan Luxun put out the telegram,
"He asked me to help him buy some physics experiment equipment." Jiang Baili said: "Don't your Hongwen College always offer physics courses? What's so difficult about this?" Lu Xun said: "The things he mentioned are not easily available. Yes, at least I have to pass the university. He asked me to go to Tokyo Imperial University to find a physics professor named Nagaoka Hantaro, and said that I could just mention his name." Jiang Baili asked: "Why didn't he just give it to that professor directly? Send a telegram?"
"It seems like it's because it's not convenient or I haven't been able to get in touch." Lu Xun said. Jiang Baili said: "I'm just afraid that things won't be done well. After all, it's Mr. Li Yu who asked for it, and we can't make mistakes." Lu Xun said: "Buy the things first, and they will be well packaged when sent." The two of them arrived. At Tokyo Imperial University, Hantaro Nagaoka was very enthusiastic after learning about their intentions. He was also quite surprised when he saw Li Yu's telegram: "Li Yujun is so advanced in thinking and is already doing cutting-edge physics experiments." Lu Xun asked: " What is the interferometer mentioned in it?" Hantaro Nagaoka said: "This is an instrument for measuring the properties of waves. But Yang's double-slit interference experiment has long been concluded, and then it was all thought experiments. I don't know Li Yujun What to do? Is it just a teaching instrument? But with Li Yujun's level, people have to think too much." Nagaoka Hantaro was talking to himself there, and Lu Xun and Jiang Baili were even more confused when they heard it. Know how to answer a call.
The two waited for a long time before Hantaro Nagaoka came out of his mind: "I'm sorry, this Li Yujun's ability is really amazing. Every move he makes may be the top achievement in the world of physics. I have to think more about him." It's way ahead of ordinary people's thinking." Jiang Baili asked, "Is Mr. Li Yu really that good?" To be honest, he didn't know much about physics.
Hantaro Hanagaoka praised: "He can be called the god of physics." Lu Xun looked at Jiang Baili and said: "Now even the physics professors at Japan's top universities call him a god." Jiang Baili smiled and said: "He was originally a god, look. I was right just now." Hantaro Nagaoka said to them again: "I will help Li Yujun arrange the test equipment as soon as possible. Although these devices are not difficult to get, they are a bit tricky to transport. I am afraid the freight will be very high." Jiang Baili He said: "As long as I can do good things for Mr. Li Yu, spending a little money is nothing." These students who can stay in Japan are not short of money, and the key is that Li Yu will not let them spend money.
Hantaro Nagaoka said: "You can contact the freight company, and I will arrange the experimental equipment within a day or two." Nowadays, Tokyo Imperial University is quite valued by Japan, and the funding is very high, and the experimental equipment is indeed very abundant.
After the two left Tokyo Imperial University, Jiang Baili still sighed: "It's such a pity. I really should have come to meet Mr. Li Yu last time." Lu Xun said: "That time he left too fast and didn't stay long. If you met When you get to him, you will find that he always seems to be in a very busy state." Jiang Baili said: "He must have always been thinking about developing our scientific career. As a leader, I'm afraid he will always be like this. Let's get busy." Lu Xun said leisurely: "It doesn't hurt to be a little tired. I really want to be a leader in education." Jiang Baili smiled and said: "No need to be anxious, there will be plenty for us to do in the future." Jiang Baili was still at this moment. He was an anti-Russian activist, but since then he has been a very key overall planner of the war against Japan during the Anti-Japanese War.
Lan - Due to the lack of experimental equipment in China, Li Yu is still focusing on theoretical research in mathematical physics. After being busy for a while, Xie Yuxi found him and left for Guangzhou and Hong Kong as soon as possible to open schools there.
The areas in China that foreigners have the best impression of today are Guangdong, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The modernization process in these places was indeed earlier at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
It's just that Li Yu has no connection with Hong Kong now, and all of Hong Kong is a concession. It's better to go to Guangzhou next door first, since they are very close anyway.
Guangdong had a tradition of trade long before it opened as a port, so even without concessions, its acceptance of the West was not much different.
However, because it was developed too early, Guangzhou's port is now full of gangs. Without local guidance, it is really difficult to settle down.
Li Yu tried to contact the first person who appeared in his mind after thinking of Guangzhou: Huang Feihong.
Unexpectedly, he actually received a reply. Huang Feihong was extremely happy when he heard that Li Yu was coming to Guangzhou. They took the ferry and crossed the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea, then went north from the Pearl River to the Guangzhou Port Terminal.
In addition to Huang Feihong and his disciple Liang Kuan, the commander of the Black Flag Army Liu Yongfu also came to greet him. Li Yu and Xie Yuxi were easy to identify. One had a haircut and the other was an American. Huang Feihong and others quickly discovered them: "Mr. Emperor Shi! I am Huang Feihong, whom I have admired for a long time!" Huang Feihong is almost 50. Years old, but Li Yu can't get rid of Jet Li's appearance in his mind.
Li Yu cupped his fists and said, "Hello, Master Huang!" Huang Feihong smiled and said, "You are the master, or the emperor's master! I am just a stick master. I didn't expect you to know me, which makes me very happy." Lan Li Yu thought to himself, your future image in the movie is well known to everyone, and you are already in Hollywood, how can you not know about it.
Li Yu said: "Master Huang is full of military virtue and sincere medical ethics. Of course he knows." Huang Feihong introduced him: "This is Commander Liu of the Black Flag Army." Li Yu said: "Hello, General!" Liu Yongfu said: " I haven't read for a few days, but I know how powerful you scholars are, especially those like you who are familiar with foreign knowledge." Li Yu said, "It's not enough for me to understand alone, so I came to Guangzhou this time to thank Yuxi. The lady's foundation requested that a primary and secondary school be established in Guangzhou to specialize in cultivating Western talents." Huang Feihong said: "Running a school? It's a good thing, and we will definitely help!" A few people came to Huang Feihong's Baozhilin, You can smell the smell of alcohol as soon as you enter.
Huang Feihong said: "Since using your alcohol, the patients' recovery from trauma has been very good. It has saved me a lot of trouble, but I just don't understand the principle." Li Yu said with a smile: "It's very simple, Master Huang If you buy a microscope, you will understand why." Huang Feihong asked: "Microscope? What is that?" Li Yu explained: "It is a device that can see small organisms. There are countless and staggering amounts of bacteria around us. , they are all tiny creatures invisible to the naked eye, and it is they that inflame the wound." Liang Kuan said: "How could it be, my eyes are very good, how could I not see it." Huang Feihong said: "Don't interrupt, let the emperor Master finished." Lan Li Yu said: "There should be a foreign trade company in Guangzhou. They will have these equipments for sale. You can tell at a glance." Huang Feihong said: "I have seen them before, but they seemed to be used to watch the stars at night. "
"The principles are not the same. Lenses can see very far or very close," Li Yu said. They couldn't explain the imaging principles to him in detail, so they could only talk about what they were interested in: "You can see many extremely small things. In a Western medicine hospital, a microscope is an indispensable instrument." Liang Kuan didn't think so. He thought: "It's the foreign doctors who have been making trouble for a long time. How can their skills be compared to the masters!" Huang Feihong scolded him: "Liang Kuan! I have said that we must respect Western learning, otherwise how could they be so powerful." Liang Kuan They all said in a low voice: "I'm just not as good as the master." Huang Feihong said: "Including alcohol, isn't it also used in foreign hospitals? Of course we have to learn many things. Don't make trouble here, go and get some for the emperor first A piece of watermelon can relieve the heat." Li Yu could see from the display layout of Bao Zhilin that it focuses on trauma treatment. After thinking about it, he said: "There is also a disinfectant liquid that is better than alcohol. Wait until I get back to the laboratory. It's built, maybe I can help you do it." Huang Feihong asked: "Is there anything better?" Li Yu nodded: "It's just that it's a little difficult to prepare. If it can be made, I will notify you as soon as possible. Master Huang." Li Yu was thinking of iodophor, but it did involve some chemical content, and he didn't know if it could be made in a short time.
Huang Feihong clasped his fists again and said: "The emperor's master also has a benevolent heart." Li Yu got down to business and asked: "If I want to build primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou City, what suggestions does Master Huang have?" Huang Feihong asked: "Is it the new school?"
"Yes." Li Yu nodded. Huang Feihong rubbed his palms, thought for a while and said: "A few years ago, there was Wanmu Thatched Cottage, which was very prosperous for a while. Unfortunately, as Kang and Liang traveled east to foreign countries, it was almost abandoned." Li Yu said with a smile: "It is still not used here. That's wonderful." Wanmu Thatched Cottage was the place where Kang Youwei gave lectures, and it was also Kangmen's headquarters. It was indeed very popular during the reform period.
Huang Feihong thought for a while: "By the way, from your introduction, Ms. Xie is from the United States. It happens that there was a preparatory class for American children in Guangzhou. It has not been of much use over the years. You can take over that piece of land." Li Yu Xie Yuxi was really interested when she heard it. It really fits the place where young children studying in the United States have studied and stayed.
