Su He looked at the lights all over the Forbidden City.
This scene will soon appear in the major cities of the Great China Dynasty.
Su He looked at Liu Dongliang and ordered: "Liu Aiqing, the mature technologies such as electric lights and wires should be handed over to the Shaofu through technical authorization as soon as possible by the Academy of Sciences for industrial production.
The main job of the Academy of Sciences is to research the most cutting-edge technologies.
You cannot waste your energy on mature technologies.
The iteration of technology is handled by the company’s academics. "
Liu Dongliang said: "Your Majesty, our mature technologies will be handed over to the Shaofu for transformation.
The Academy of Sciences has a specialized agency to deal with technologies that the Shaofu disdains.
Technology licensing fees are also one of the important sources of scientific research funds for the Academy of Sciences.
Our Academy of Sciences focuses all its energy on exploring new technologies.
We have made important breakthroughs in the telegraph technology that His Majesty has entrusted to us.
As long as some difficulties are solved, this technology will soon take shape and transmit the information spoken by people hundreds of kilometers away. "
When Su He heard about telegraph technology, his spirits immediately cheered up.
Wired telegraph technology, this is the technology that Su He asked the Academy of Sciences to focus on.
After the formal application of wired telegraph technology, it can greatly enhance the imperial court's dominance over various places.
The territory of the Dahua Dynasty was extremely large. It would take more than a year to run from the northernmost Beihai to the southernmost Australia.
The territory of the Great China Dynasty will expand again in the future, which will make it more difficult to rule.
It takes more than half a year for the imperial decree to reach the border provinces.
It will take more than a year to get feedback from border provinces.
It takes such a long time to communicate between the two places, and there is no way to solve emergencies.
The court could only choose to delegate power to local governors.
If this state continues, the local governor will definitely become bigger.
If power is not delegated to local governors, it will be too late to deal with anything that happens in border provinces by the time the court gets the news.
For the stability of border provinces, we can only choose the lesser of the two evils, and slow down the time for the formation of local forces through frequent personnel transfers.
When the cable telegraph network was built, everything changed.
It only takes a few minutes for the imperial decree to be delivered to the border provinces.
If there is a problem in the border provinces, the court will get the news as quickly as possible.
The speed of news transmission can greatly enhance the imperial court's control over various places.
The wired telegraph network and the railway network can closely connect all parts of Dahua.
If there is a problem in any border province, the court's order to mobilize troops can be issued immediately.
The army can rush to the location of the accident as quickly as possible, and the court will not lose control of the army.
Su He saw that it was just getting dark. He was very excited when he heard the news.
He wanted to go immediately to see how far wired telegraphy had progressed and how far away this technology was from practical application.
"Liu Aiqing, I'm going to the Academy of Sciences to take a look at telegraph technology."
When Liu Dongliang heard Emperor Su He's words, he was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, it's so late.
Many scholars have gone home from get off work and are unable to demonstrate telegraph technology to His Majesty.
Tomorrow I will be at the Academy of Sciences, waiting for His Majesty's presence and guidance. "
Liu Dongliang tried his best to shirk it. If the emperor went to the palace now, he would be in danger.
The people in the institute dare to research any project in order to explore the world.
Others want to store lightning and create artificial lightning.
Someone used a transformer to increase the voltage to a level comparable to thunder.
These dangerous things must be dealt with in advance. Once an accident occurs in the laboratory and His Majesty the Emperor is injured, the now prosperous Academy of Sciences will probably be completely shut down.
Liu Dongliang does not want to be a sinner in this history.
He looked extremely nervous and was sweating profusely.
When Su He saw Liu Dongliang's appearance, he also realized that it was indeed inappropriate to go now.
"Looking at you, it seems you still need some time to prepare.
If I go there tomorrow, you may not be ready. I will give you three more days to prepare.
Three days later, I went to the Academy of Sciences to visit the telegraph technology. "
Liu Dongliang felt relieved when he heard Emperor Su He's words.
With three days of preparation time, he had enough time to clean up the dangerous projects in the institute first.
All dangerous experiments were suspended, and everyone was summoned at the same time to urgently research telegraph technology.
If you can solve the difficulties in telegraph technology before the emperor comes, you will get the most generous reward.
After Liu Dongliang received permission, he quickly left the palace and returned to the Academy of Sciences, where he began to prepare for Emperor Su He's inspection.
Su He went to Kunning Palace where the Queen was to have dinner.
Kunning Palace was brightly lit, and the scene inside was clearly visible under the illumination of electric lights.
Su He asked: "Wenjun, how is the acceptance of electric lights in the palace?"
Queen Wang Wenjun smiled and said: "Husband, the palace is very accepting of electric lights.
Our generation has seen too many new things.
You won't be too surprised when you encounter anything new. "
When Su He heard what Queen Wang Wenjun said, a proud smile appeared on his face.
He did not raise his wives to be canaries in a cage.
Su He supports each wife and cultivates her own interests.
The palace also continued to subscribe to the mainstream newspapers of the Dahua Dynasty.
If there is anything new outside, it will be reported to the palace immediately.
"Wenjun, that boy Liu Dongliang, what he talked about today was rather general.
You should arrange for a female professor from the university to come to the palace to popularize electricity science as soon as possible, so that everyone in the palace can understand things related to electricity.
Only by fully understanding this knowledge can you not be afraid of it. "
When the eldest son Su Shu heard this, he happily said: "Father, I have learned in the textbook the story of a Qin scholar who flew a kite to attract thunder from the sky.
Thunder and lightning can be controlled by people, and things like electricity are not scary at all.
I also know about electricity and will educate my younger brothers and sisters on science in the palace. "
Su He looked at Su Shu and said happily: "Shu'er has grown up."
He was very satisfied with Su Shu's performance and he accepted new things very quickly.
This is a good character. The next generation of Su He will inevitably face a society that changes more rapidly.
If your personality is too conservative, you will not even be qualified as a conservative king.
…………………………
Su He took a BMW steam car and went to the Academy of Sciences in Yongfang, Dashi.
Steam-powered automobiles are a new product that has appeared recently.
As mechanical processing technology gradually matured, rubber forests in Nanyang began to be put into production, and the cost of rubber sealing gaskets dropped.
Great progress was made in the miniaturization of steam engines, and the cost of tires also dropped dramatically.
The technology has matured, and steam cars will naturally appear on the market.
The steam automobiles that had just appeared were not as practical as horse-drawn carriages, and parts were often damaged.
But it has replaced the horse-drawn carriage as a symbol of upper-class status.
Today's steam cars are about the same speed as horse-drawn carriages, and the car's braking system is very complete.
Even if it gets out of control, safety is guaranteed.
Driving is very safe. In order to promote steam vehicles, Su He chose to use steam vehicles as a means of travel.
He knew that as cars became more popular, many scholars would study cars.
Boilers burning oil will inevitably be replaced by internal combustion engines.
The noise of the steam engine is very high, even if it is isolated by a carriage, the noise is very deafening.
The steam car walked on the street, ushering in a 100% return rate of pedestrians.
It is very rare, and many people are curious about this kind of car that can drive on the street without horses.
Emperor Su He's motorcade quickly drove into the courtyard of the Academy of Sciences.
They walked towards the Institute of Electromagnetics of the Academy of Sciences.
Liu Dongliang led the main team members to greet Emperor Su He at the gate.
When he saw Emperor Su He get out of the car, he immediately led everyone in the team to bow and salute: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Su He looked at these scholars, most of whom were around thirty years old, and there were many who were under twenty years old.
These people are the top scientific talents of the Dahua Dynasty, and their results affect the direction of Dahua's progress.
Su He said with a smile: "My dear friends, I am here to watch the progress of telegraph technology, and at the same time issue awards for the previous achievements of the Institute of Electromagnetics."
Scholars of the Academy of Sciences, they enjoy the salary of the imperial court, and they are all high-ranking officials.
Many accomplished scientists also have noble status.
Liu Dongliang respectfully led Emperor Su He to the laboratory.
He introduced the person next to him: "Your Majesty, this is Qin Shu, deputy director of the Institute of Electromagnetics.
Chen is good at theoretical research, Qin Shu is good at technology research and development, and Qin Shu leads the team in charge of telegraph technology. "
Su He said with a smile: "I have heard of Viscount Qin. This time the telegraph technology is successful, this year's Dragon Award in Physics will definitely belong to Viscount Qin."
Qin Shu was not good at words, but he was extremely happy in his heart.
This is the Dragon Award, a reward that all scientists in the Great China Dynasty aspire to.
Qin Shu said confidently: "Your Majesty, if you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to perfect the telegraph technology."
Su He followed Qin Shu and others into the laboratory.
He asked curiously: "Viscount Qin, where are you stuck in telegraph technology? It can actually hinder you for such a long time."
Qin Shu led Emperor Su He to his laboratory.
There are crudely made electrical appliances inside.
Qin Shu introduced: "Your Majesty, after the wire was successfully manufactured, we discovered that electric current can travel hundreds of kilometers along the wire.
The current attenuates greatly, but this speed is reached instantaneously.
At that time, I was thinking about whether I could use this technology to transmit information.
After a long period of research by Chen and his colleagues, we have found a way to transmit and receive electrical signals. "
Su He listened to Qin Shu's explanation and asked in surprise: "Viscount Qin, I feel that you have solved the wired telegraph technology.
Both can send and receive electrical signals. In my impression, this technology is successful. "
When Qin Shu heard what Emperor Su He said, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, my technique is far from successful. It is still far behind."
After Qin Shu finished speaking, he picked up a cylinder and shouted at the cylinder: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
I heard the same voice coming from the other end of the laboratory.
Qin Shu said dejectedly: "The sound transmitted by this telegraph is attenuated so much that it can only be transmitted for one or two kilometers and is completely inaudible.
His Majesty requested that it be able to transmit at least hundreds of kilometers, but it is still far from being able to do so. "
Su He's eyes widened. He wanted a wired telegraph. How could these scientists develop a telephone?
Telephone technology has already achieved preliminary results, especially the component electric speaker.
Electric speaker technology has made a breakthrough. With electric speaker technology, sound can be extended to hundreds or thousands of meters, which is practical in many situations.
Especially in villages, if a few loudspeakers are installed, the country's policies can be conveyed to the ears of every villager.
Su He said in surprise: "This is a phone call, what I want is a telegram.
There is no need to transmit sound. Now if you want to transmit real-time sound, the technology required is too complicated.
It only needs to transmit electrical signals through wires hundreds of kilometers away.
Allow the receiving end to receive electrical signals and use these electrical signals to form text.
As long as the two states of power on and off can be transmitted, information can be transmitted by formulating a password. "
Su He immediately took a pen and paper and drew long lines and dots on the paper.
"You see, only two signals are needed, and through different combinations, all information can be transmitted in a coded manner."
When Liu Dongliang heard what Su He said, he immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, my misunderstanding has delayed the progress of the experiment. I am guilty."
Su He stepped forward to help Liu Dongliang up and said, "It's not Liu Aiqing's fault, it's because I didn't explain it clearly at the time."
Qin Shushu looked resentful and glared at Liu Dongliang fiercely.
He failed to understand His Majesty the Emperor's intentions, which led to difficulties in his own research and development.
Qin Shu said in surprise: "Your Majesty only asked for this, and we can meet this request now.
Information is transmitted through power on and off, and information distortion can easily occur if the distance is too far.
Chen suggested using high voltage and low voltage, two signals to convey information.
These two signals can be easily expressed through the output terminal composed of resistors and electromagnets. "
Su He asked in surprise: "Qin Aiqing, can you successfully develop telegraph technology now?"
Qin Shu said confidently: "Your Majesty, please give me some time. I have understood your Majesty's request and will improve the telegraph machine now."
Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
He bowed and resigned, summoning his subordinates to start rebuilding the telegraph machine.
With the results accumulated from previous research and development, Qin Shu's ideas were extremely smooth.
Su He saw Qin Shu constantly drawing circuit diagrams on the paper.
He drew hundreds of drawings, finally selected a dozen circuits, and began to create the finished circuit.
Qin Shu selected the resistor and wound the soldering iron. He and his subordinates began to make the components of the telegraph machine.
Su He saw Qin Shu's confident look, and he also learned a lesson this time.
If there are important project arrangements in the future, he must meet with front-line scientific researchers to prevent things from being unclear and delaying the progress of the project.
Qin Shu moved quickly and quickly moved a small box over.
He introduced to Su He: "Your Majesty, this is the telegraph machine I made.
It uses different voltages to transmit information, and one wire can transmit information all the way at the same time.
In the future, breakthroughs in related technologies will enable rapid analysis of various electromagnetic waves, and a single wire can transmit hundreds or thousands of messages. "
After Qin Shu finished speaking, he started to demonstrate in the laboratory.
After sending the message through the telegraph machine, the telegraph machine in another laboratory quickly spit out a piece of paper.
Qin Shu introduced: "Your Majesty, when the telegraph machine sends a message, it will process the electrical signal into signals with different voltages.
Other telegraph machines receive signals, and electromagnets control the machine to automatically print lines of varying lengths on paper. "
Su He looked at the note automatically typed out by the telegraph machine. This narrow note would bring drastic changes to society.
"Viscount Qin, do you have the confidence to challenge the transmission of information over hundreds of kilometers?"
Qin Shu said confidently: "I am now confident that the telegraph machine will definitely meet His Majesty's requirements."
Su He immediately asked Qin Shu to start preparing to manufacture telegraph machines and set up telegraph lines, which would take several days.
He notified the cabinet and the Metropolitan Government to witness the emergence of wire telegraphy.
