Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 827 Radio and Submarine Cables (Part [-])
"Master, the diesel engine can produce qualified engines next year, but the structure of the truck is relatively complicated. It is not only the engine that needs to be tackled, but also the chassis, body, and braking system. It will definitely not be able to be produced.” Seeing Chu Yun’s R&D goal, Diesel couldn’t help but feel a little worried, the truck is much more complicated than an ordinary three-wheeled vehicle, and for him, it was a design from scratch.

"I'll send additional people over to study it. It's enough to work out the prototype in the next two years." Chu Yun thought for a while. After the birth of the world's first internal combustion engine car, it will indeed take a few years to develop a truck.

If the truck technology is independently activated by the system, Chu Yun's civilization points will not be enough, and it will take a lot of time to develop and produce by himself.It's better to study first, wait until when the system can be used, and then call out the corresponding talents at a relatively small cost to speed up the research progress.

When this small factory develops a truly practical and stable car, Chu Yun plans to build a car factory to monopolize the production of cars.This industry is a very lucrative industry that can bring continuous benefits.

Chu Yun walked around the factory again, looked at several engine models, and then left here with his guards.

Then Chu Yun went straight to the Academy of Sciences.In the area of ​​the Beijing Academy of Sciences, different departments have their own affiliated laboratories.These laboratories are more inclined to turn some theoretical research into practical results.

Chu Yun went to the laboratory of the physics department.

"Maxwell, Hertz, are you all there?" Chu Yun met two masters in the field of electromagnetism, one predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, and the other confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves through experiments.

They are also helping Chu Yun carry out research on a project - wireless telegraphy.

"Hello, Master!" Maxwell and Hertz stopped their work when they saw that it was Chu Yun.

"My lord must have come to see our research results." There were other people in the lab.

Chu Yun personally summoned these people to this time and space, and he clearly remembered the names of these people.

"Marconi, how is the research on wireless telegraphy going? You should know how wide the application scenarios of radio are. The warships of our three fleets all need a new communication method to replace the outdated semaphore. And not only the fleet needs it, the general The merchant ships also need it, and they can send telegrams to nearby ships as soon as they encounter shipwreck." Chu Yun said to that person.

Marconi, pioneer of radio improvement and practicality.Chu Yun asked him to come here for wireless telegraphy!

Wireless telegraphy can extend to places that wired telegraphy cannot reach, and it is most suitable for maritime communication, which can realize the control of the sea and prevent the Naval Group from going out independently.It is impossible to connect warships with wires.

Chu Yun also wants to use radio to manage Dongying, Ryukyu, Yizhou, Nanyang and other places.

"The prototype of the first wireless telegraph came out, and it can be received within a range of 250 meters...Although the distance is only 250 meters now, give me five years to realize the radio communication from here to Dongying...But the wired telegraph It is safer and more stable, and it transmits more content. If possible, you should lay a submarine cable from the capital to the Edo city.” Marconi introduced the research results of wireless telegraphy to Chu Yun, and at the same time, he also told Chu Yun Chu Yun promoted the cable telegraph.

"In the past two years, the factory has been producing armored submarine cables. Most of the wired telegrams from Beijing to Nanjing and Guangzhou are actually under the sea." Chu Yun has actually been laying submarine cables. Compared with land cables, Submarine cables do not need to dig tunnels or build supports, the investment is less than that of land, and the construction speed is also fast. Therefore, Chu Yun first chose to build the coastal line from Liaodong to Beijing, and then to Nanjing and Guangzhou. Using submarine cables.

In order to load the submarine cables for laying, even large sailing ships such as the Victory were dispatched to load the cables.Otherwise, Chu Yun would not have received congratulatory messages from Guangzhou and Nanjing a few days ago.

Next, Chu Yun plans to establish a radio line from the capital to Ryukyu and Edo cities to control the local area.

"Will it take another 5 years for the radio to be put into practical use? Can it be used by the naval fleet in advance?" Chu Yun is more concerned about using it for the three fleets in combat.

Timely delivery of information can be very useful in the military, and can even make the difference between success and failure.

"No, I have to ensure the reliability and stability of the radio. Otherwise, the navy relies too much on the radio. Once the distance is too far or in severe weather such as storms in the sea, the radio is likely to fail, and it will cause trouble for the fleet. "Marconi said, "Five years is not too late, and in another five years, the radio station you mentioned, the military leader, will be able to open."

In 5 years, the wireless telegraph was put into practical use, and in 10 years, a radio broadcasting station was opened.Chu Yun always felt that it was too long. Why are all scientific and technological researches so slow? It is estimated that his son will even be able to make soy sauce by then.

"Well, you don't need to be pressured. Just concentrate on research. In the next year, I will lay submarine cables between Dongying and the capital. No matter how the radio develops at that time, submarine cables will eventually be the main means of long-distance communication." Chu Yun Thinking of the world before him, submarine cables were still the most important means of international communication.

It's just that the amount of information that the current cables can actually transmit is nothing compared to the cables of later generations.

After the submarine cable is laid, it is enough to contact the Beiyang Fleet, the Tokyo Branch, and the Tokyo School as far away as Japan.

As for the connection between the capital and Koryo, a land cable can be pulled from Liaodong City to Pyongyang City, or a submarine cable can be directly pulled from the capital to Korea.These two options are all right. Chu Yun is still considering it, and he still needs to go through the approval of the king of Koryo.The importance of building a sea cable to Koryo is only third.

The first is to connect the submarine cable from the capital to Dongying, so as to realize the real-time remote control of Dongying. The second is to connect the submarine cable from Guangzhou to Nanyang, so that Nanyang can enter the Huaxia Dian newspaper network.

At present, several factories are producing submarine cables that meet the specifications day and night, and these are relatively confidential matters.Ordinary people only know that they can send telegrams, but they hardly know that there is a huge industrial system behind it, and even sailing battleships have invested in the construction of submarine cables.
