Great Tang princess

Chapter 585 Communication Experiment

Chapter 585 Communication Experiment
Early in the morning of the next day, before dawn, the guests from the Wa country were woken up, got up in black, lit candles and began to enjoy the delivered breakfast.

I have to say that the breakfast tastes very good, it is simply the delicacies of mountains and seas that I have never enjoyed before, but why do I have to eat it so early?
At this time, the sky is still pitch black, the morning star hangs high in the sky, and there is no white belly. People are woken up for breakfast so early... When did the hospitality of this land-based country become like this?

Seeing them eating breakfast with confused faces, the soldiers in charge of the reception didn't bother to explain. They were just a bunch of foreign bumpkins anyway, and they couldn't understand the explanation.

After breakfast, he told them that today he would send them to Dongdu to have an audience with the saint, pack their luggage and set off immediately.

Although I don't know the significance of setting off this early in the morning, but when you come to other people's territory, you naturally have to listen to them, let alone in this era of abundant martial arts.

So these Japanese guests quickly packed their luggage, followed the soldiers in uniforms and walked out to the take-off site.

The soldiers walking in the front were holding lanterns, illuminating the dark road under their feet.

What shocked these people was that the lantern was actually made of transparent glass, and there should be some other things installed inside to let the light from the candles in the lantern shine down.

In this way, the upper body of the person holding the lantern will appear darker, and it will not be dazzling, so that he can see the road under his feet clearly.

This thing is one of the new products researched by the Academy of Engineering, and it was not proposed by Li Yuechen.

The thinking of craftsmen is generally more flexible. Many new products proposed by Li Yuechen, they can often draw inferences from one instance and put the same idea in other places, so that more novel objects can be born.

It's just that the cost of this glass lantern is indeed a bit high. Usually, the sentries on duty at night will use it. There are not many places where they are usually used, so the number is very small.

Ignoring the astonishment of these foreigners, two soldiers led them to the large take-off field. Before they approached, they could see the huge airship warehouse.

This is a strip-shaped building, more than ten meters high and tens of meters long. In this era, it is almost at the same level as the imperial palace.

The building as a whole adopts a vault structure, without a single column inside, and the space is extremely open, and there are many transparent glass windows on the south side to ensure the lighting inside.

At this time, the sky has already started to turn pale, and the visibility conditions are much better than before. In this way, half of this huge building can be seen clearly, and the other half is still vaguely in the shadows, making it look even more mysterious. .

With a "creak", it sounded extremely heavy. The door opened to both sides, and slowly opened outward, gradually revealing the appearance inside.

A few people curiously probed to see, only to see that it was pitch black inside, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

But vaguely, it seems to be able to see a huge silhouette, like a shuttle.

Afterwards, dozens of soldiers entered the building, and with a burst of rhythmic yelling, the huge shuttle was pushed out.

When the airship is parked, there is a special support. There are two rows of tires at the bottom of this shelf, adding up to dozens of them, which is enough to support this huge volume.

Dozens of soldiers worked together to remove the brakes from the wheels and push it out.

Moreover, although the size of the airship looks large, its weight is not as scary as imagined. After all, most of the airship is filled with gas.

Seeing the huge vehicle appearing in front of them, a group of Japanese people widened their eyes, not knowing what it is, is it a new type of carriage?

But this volume is too big, do you want to take this thing to Dongdu?
It wasn't until this time that the soldiers on the side explained: "This thing is called an airship, and it is used to take you to the Eastern Capital to meet the saint. We start now, and we will arrive almost tonight, and we will meet the saint tomorrow."

Hearing that it can be reached in one day, these Japanese people feel a little unbelievable. The land country is so large, and it can be reached in one day?

I heard from the envoys who have been here before that it will take more than a month to arrive at least.

However, the soldiers on the side didn't bother to continue popularizing science. After the airship hatch opened, they greeted them to get on the airship, and after handing over to the soldiers on the airship, they turned and left.

Instead, a group of Japanese people didn't know what to do, so they could only obediently obey the request, sit on the chair and fasten their seat belts, waiting for the next arrangement.

When the front of the airship started to rise and slowly left the ground, they all screamed in surprise.

In the front cab, the officer sitting in the command position drooped his eyelids with a helpless expression: "Go tell them to be quiet!"

"Hey, forget it! A group of aliens from other places have no knowledge, so let's take it easy." The soldier on the side smiled, "It will be fine when we get to the top of the clouds in a while."

"Well, okay." The officer in the command position nodded in approval.

……

In the barracks, Li Yuechen, who got up early, looked at the airship slowly rising in the sky with a pensive expression.

Although it is said that the idea of ​​the Wa country is fixed, but I always feel that this approach is a bit hawkish.

But if you think about it carefully, the style of the Tang Dynasty itself has a bit of eagle flavor.

First of all, the beautiful country allows people to own weapons, but body armor is prohibited.

Similarly in the Tang Empire, people were allowed to carry weapons, but they were not allowed to hide armor.

The beautiful country has always been known for its open and free people, and the Tang Empire is the same...

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen was taken aback suddenly, feeling that he had discovered a blind spot, what's going on?Eagle sauce is orthodox in Datang?
Shaking his head suddenly, Li Yuechen expelled this thought from his mind. He couldn't think about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.

While eating breakfast in the cafeteria, a group of children ran over, and Li Shouyi was the first to speak, "Auntie sent those Japanese people to Dongdu in an airship. What if they pry into the mystery?"

Hearing this question, Li Yuechen smiled: "Since this technology has been used, it is impossible to hide it. Within 100 years, they will definitely be able to make the same object."

"My aunt once said that the Japanese will make life difficult for our country in 1000 years. If we learn this airship a hundred years later, what should we do?" Li Shu asked.

Li Yuechen took a bite of the scone: "This is what you and your next generation should consider."

"Couldn't Auntie help us solve my doubts?"

"Yes, but the plan can't always keep up with the changes. Even if I propose a solution at this time, it may not be effective in the future. What you have to do is to guide the Engineering Academy to make more powerful artifacts in the future, always be at the forefront, and ensure that we wait for ourselves will not be surpassed."

Li Yuechen explained various problems to them while eating breakfast. She was not impatient at all, because she knew very well that this was the meaning of education.

In order for the country to maintain long-term peace and stability, someone must shoulder a huge responsibility, and the royal family bears the brunt.

Therefore, she sacrificed the future freedom of the royal family, and let them be bound by the shackles of responsibility from birth, so as to ensure the driving force of the country.

As for whether this approach is right or wrong, let time tell.

Li Yuechen is the kind of person who would rather make mistakes than do nothing. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a gamble.

……

A few days later, the trenches on the ground had been dug, and the cement wiring ducts were all completed, so with the joint efforts of Li Yuechen and a group of craftsmen, the process of laying wires officially started.

All the wires must not only be fully dipped in paint, but also be stuffed into strips of ceramic pipes.

At present, a nut ceramic tube that can screw two ceramic tubes together has been made, but the cost is too high, so the glue method is still used at present.

Li Yuechen felt that it was time to consider making machine tools, otherwise it would be too wasteful to manually polish the spiral grooves.

Although she doesn't understand machine tools, it is the thinking of future people after all. In a general sense, it should be no problem to make a hook knife that can rotate, right?

But considering that I am not a professional after all, I still discuss with the academicians of the Academy of Engineering every day, do experiments, and try to make a machine that can make spiral grooves.

In this way, as long as the size is set, as long as one of the produced spiral grooves can be screwed on, then the others will naturally be fine.

The craftsmen are now inspired to create, and naturally cooperate happily, discussing and doing experiments in the office every day, trying to find a good solution.

The process of laying the wires took only three days to complete. During the period, many soldiers surrounded it, curious about it, wondering if it was a novelty weapon or some kind of powerful means of transportation.

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain this, let them get curious first, while he focused on making the world's first telegraph machine.

When all the lines were laid, the commissioning of the generator was a bit unsatisfactory.

Although the fan is finished, it is not so easy to find a suitable place. First of all, the wind must be strong enough to drive the fan blades to rotate quickly.

Secondly, it is best to be stable enough to ensure long-term power supply. After all, there is no battery now. If there is no wind during the communication process and the fan blades do not turn, the power will be cut off immediately.

After such a long experiment, it was found that this problem was really difficult to solve, and in the end, in desperation, it was decided to use hydropower.

Qingdao itself is close to the sea, and there are many rivers, but it is still a little distance from the military camp, but now the wind power cannot be supported, so we can only consider hydropower.

This is quite simple. It is to build a waterwheel by the river and use the flowing river water to drive the waterwheel so that the generator can run.

But the river closest to the barracks is also a mile away, which means that it is necessary to make hundreds of meters of wires.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuechen decided to conduct an experiment first, and then consider this issue if the experiment is successful.

As for the power supply during the experiment... Let's use manpower first, make a larger wooden turntable, let a group of people spin it quickly, and then accelerate it through gears.

The carpenters of the engineering institute were very efficient. It took five days to complete the construction of the required power system. The gears and everything were ready-made, and they just made a big turntable.

So on August [-]th, the first communication experiment officially started.

……

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the soldiers of the Second Company were taken to the side of the engineering institute, and they were asked to turn the big disc to rotate quickly. When they were tired, they would bring it up, and then others would make up for it. In short, they couldn't stop.

In Li Yuechen's office, she handed the cipherbook she had written long ago to Wang Wuqiong: "After a while, if you see the pen move over there, you can find the corresponding word and translate it according to the symbols on it."

"Yes!"

In fact, she had read the code book long ago, but she felt it was too boring, so she didn't read it too carefully, and she hasn't memorized it yet.

Li Yuechen didn't say anything, and didn't intend to let her be a correspondent, but just let her understand a little bit.

Wang Wuqiong went out with the code book, while Li Yuechen was staring at the sending equipment on the table in a daze, because he didn't know how to make diodes, so he didn't know whether the equipment was powered on or not, so he could only press it to try.

After a while, the messenger ran over: "Your Highness, Major Wang is in place!"

"Ok!"

Li Yuechen nodded, took a deep breath, stretched out his finger and put it on the sending button, and then tapped it rhythmically.

Listening to the rhythmic beating sound, the communications soldiers on the side also looked forward to it. They are responsible for running on both sides today, so they naturally know the content of the experiment.

Although it is not yet known how effective it is, this unknown device still makes his heart tremble gradually with Li Yuechen's beating.

On the other side, in the laboratory of the Academy of Engineering, Wang Wuqiong and a group of academicians were staring at the contract issuing machine in front of them.

A lead core was being grasped by a metal bracket and stopped firmly in mid-air.

Suddenly, the bracket moved up and down, and the lead lead that was caught left patterns of dots and bars on the paper below.

"It's moving!" an academician suddenly shouted excitedly.

Others also cheered, and stared at the lead core that was going up and down while exclaiming.

"Success! Success!"

"No, not yet!" Wang Wuqiong also looked excited, but he forcibly calmed down and shook his head violently, "It depends on whether you can accurately translate what His Highness means."

The others nodded their heads to express their understanding, but it had to be said that being able to move was already exciting enough.

Geng Yunqiang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help trembling his lips. Even though the princess has made many miraculous things since she was a child, today's experiment is still shocking.

If there is a true God in this world, it is only this one person, there is absolutely no other possibility!

After a while, the lead core stopped, and everyone waited for a while. After confirming that it would not move again, Wang Wuqiong tore off the branch with the pattern drawn on it, and then took out the code book and began to compare and translate.

On the other side, after Li Yuechen finished sending a sentence, he sat on a chair and took a sip of the teacup. We had to wait for the specific result.

Before the cup of tea was finished, Wang Wuqiong, Geng Yunqiang and a group of academicians ran over panting, knocked on the door and entered the office.

Seeing their excited expressions, Li Yuechen had already guessed the result, but still asked with a smile, "How was the result?"

Wang Wuqiong took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated heartbeat, took out a piece of paper from his hand, and said slowly: "The nameless beginning of the world, the nameless mother of all things!"
