Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 368 Daming Communication Department Yingtian Vocational Technical College

"Dick tick tick tick tick tick tick"

"Di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di"

A tall erected antenna is connected to a black iron box below.

Several red and green signal lights on the iron box flickered on.

An operator with a headset sits in front of the machine, holding a small lump in his hand bit by bit.

Zhu Kezang stood behind the operator to observe.

Although the emperor was right behind him, the operator was not very nervous. He was writing and drawing on a piece of paper while touching the little pimple in his hand.

Looking carefully, what he wrote was exactly a string of telegrams. After the telegram was accepted, he dug out the code comparison table and translated the transcribed telegrams.

When Zhu Kezang heard that the wireless telegraph machine was ready, he immediately flashed and sprinted to Gewuzhizhi College. His dream of being a micromanager emperor was finally coming true!

In order to make this telegraph machine, not only the people below were tired, but even he was so tired that he took off half of his skin.

This telegraph is not an ordinary machine or anything, and some basic personnel can be found.

"Okay! Rewards! I must reward you well!" Zhu Kezang shouted to these researchers very generously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" All the researchers were extremely excited, and finally they got the approval of the Emperor!

"Okay, okay, don't worry, as long as you have made credit, I will definitely reward you!" Zhu Kezang at this time is extremely generous, and he has always been generous to those who have made credit.

This is the first generation of wireless telegraph. With the support of the system mall, Zhu Kezang directly skipped the wired telegraph and adopted the more convenient wireless telegraph. Although the transmission range of this first generation of wireless telegraph is only [-] kilometers , After exceeding this distance, the signal will be so small that it can hardly be heard.

But it doesn't matter, this is just the beginning. In the future, Daming will gradually build relay stations to spread radio signals to every corner of Daming.

As the chief designer of the telegraph, Huang Luzhuang said: "Reporting to the emperor, with everyone's efforts, the radio relay station from Beijing to Hangzhou will be erected and put into testing immediately. According to the words in the emperor's book, the current radio environment can It's so good that every telegram is transmitted without even being encrypted."

"It's so good. Huang Aiqing's speed has far exceeded my expectations. After I said that the development of the generator is about to end, I still think that if there is electricity in the future, the development of Ming Dynasty will have a qualitative leap. Now it seems that The first one to make a leap is the communications industry!"

"Huang Aiqing is really a worthy minister of mine!"

Huang Luzhuang first saluted and thanked Zhu Kezang for his praise, and then said: "Your Majesty, I dare not take credit for it alone. Every achievement is developed by ministers and artisans in many places. How can it be done?" Is it just me?"

"I understand, I have already said just now, there are rewards for everything!"

All the officials and craftsmen present thanked each other again, and then Zhu Kezang said: "Now if I want you to build the Daming Communications Department, will you have pressure to promote this telegraph to at least the provincial level?"

"Reporting to the emperor, if you only go to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, then there will be no problems."

Zhu Kezang nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "We will try our best to promote the generator, but I know that the cost of the transmission line is very high now."

"emperor."

When it comes to the cost of wires, Huang Lvzhuang feels ashamed for a moment.

No matter how you look at it, the cost of high-quality copper wires wrapped in natural rubber is extremely high. The former is a strategic material that is currently in short supply in Ming Dynasty.

And the latter, copper, is simply money!
"Don't have any worries, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, but we must set up telegraph offices in every provincial government office within this year, and set up telegraph offices in key states and counties. If there is not enough copper, Australia will ship it over. !"

The emergence of the telegraph will shorten the time for many urgent information communications in the future as much as possible, which is undoubtedly a qualitative leap for Daming.

"Not only the state capital, but cities such as Kyushu, Shikoku, Kyoto, Edo, and Osaka in the Toyo Prefecture should also set up telegraph offices."

Huang Luzhuang was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, the Dongying Capital Protectorate is hanging overseas, and it may be too far away from Daming."

"Borrow some places from Korea and send troops to guard them."

Ah this!

"Your Majesty, will it be difficult to borrow land from Goryeo? Let me communicate with the envoys of Goryeo after I go down."

"Difficult? What's so difficult about this?"

Zhu Kezang obviously ignored Huang Lvzhuang's understanding of the international situation.

Huang Luzhuang felt that building a national telegraph office in the other country was a good idea after all.

He obviously does not have the spirit of Ming imperialism!
Huang Luzhuang's political vision still needs some experience.

Regarding the old imperialist fighters, Zhu Kezang did not give much consideration to Goryeo's opinion at all.

From Zhu Kezang's point of view, Goryeo is a dog raised by Daming, so there is no need to consider putting something on their territory.

Zhu Kezang went on to say: "A while ago, the Ming Dynasty just solved the nomadic attack of the Qing Dynasty for Goryeo. I haven't asked the King of Goryeo for money yet! What's wrong with borrowing some space now!"

"If you have any questions, let the people in the Ministry of Rites ask them!"

"Minister obeys the order!" Huang Luzhuang was relieved when the people from the Ministry of Rites came to the conclusion.

In the fifth year of Daming Shenwu, that is, on August 1686, [-], Ying Tianfu went to Hangzhou to realize radio communication, and Gewu Zhizhi College completed the development of radio communication devices.

On August 12th, Zhu Kezang announced the establishment of the "Daming Communications Department", with the highest officer as the "Director" and Huang Lvzhuang from the Ministry of Industry. He also requested that radio communication networks be established in the provincial capitals of the Ming Dynasty and along the Yangtze River.

On August 20th, the Daming State-owned Telecommunications Company announced that it would undertake the wireless telegraph communication business. The first batch of "Telegraph Communication Offices" would also be established in various provincial capitals and major commercial cities.

As a result, Ming Dynasty urgently needed a group of telegraph practitioners.

These people need to have certain telegraph knowledge and be able to read and write, and Daming's talent pool is simply insufficient.

Therefore, we can only hold a "telegraph staff training class" temporarily. Not only is the tuition fee free, but also the assignment work is included, and even the house is allocated.

High wages and high benefits directly lure a large number of young people from Ming Dynasty to join.

With the "telegram" as a lesson, in order to prevent the lack of promotion of new technologies and related practitioners in the future, Zhu Kezang and Huang Lvzhuang directly made a decision after discussing it.

On September [-]th of the fifth year of Shenwu, Daming announced the establishment of "Yingtian Vocational Technical College" to train professional technical personnel.
