Chapter 826 Radio and Submarine Cables
"Military master, diesel engines can produce qualified engines next year, but the structure of the truck is relatively complicated. Not only the engine, chassis, body, and braking system need to be solved in a special team, and it is definitely impossible to produce them next year." Seeing Chu Yun put forward the R&D goal, Diesel couldn't help but worry that the truck is much more complicated than an ordinary three-wheeled car, and it is a design from scratch for him.
"I will ask additional people to come here to study it. I can only make the prototype in the past two years." Chu Yun thought about it. After the birth of the world's first internal combustion engine car, it will indeed take several years to develop a truck.
If the truck technology is turned on separately with the system, Chu Yun’s civilization point will not be enough, and it will take a lot of time to develop and produce it yourself. It is better to study it first, wait until the system can be used, and then summon the corresponding talents at a smaller cost to accelerate the research progress.
When this small factory develops a truly practical and stable automobile, Chu Yun plans to establish an automobile factory to monopolize the production of automobiles. This industry is a very profitable industry and can bring continuous benefits.
Chu Yun walked around the factory again, looked at several engine models, and then left the place with the guards.
Next, 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 tend to turn some theoretical research into practical results.
Chu Yun went to the laboratory of the Department of Physics.
"Maxwell, Hertz, are you all here?" Chu Yun met two masters in the field of electromagnetics, one predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves, and the other confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves through experiments.
They are also helping Chu Yun conduct research on a project - wireless telegraph.
"Hello, Master, the Army!" Maxwell, when Herz saw that the person was Chu Yun, he stopped his work.
"Mr. Jun. must have come to see our research results." There are other people in the laboratory.
Chu Yun personally summoned these people to this time and space, and remembered the names of these people clearly.
"Marconi, how has the research on radio telegraphs been done? You should know how wide the application scenarios of radio are. The warships of our three fleets all need a new contact method to replace the backward flag language. And not only the fleet needs it, but also ordinary merchant ships need it. When encountering a shipwreck, you can send telegraphs to nearby ships as soon as possible." Chu Yun said to the man.
Marconi, the pioneer of radio improvement and practicality. Chu Yun asked him to come here, just to do radio telegraph!
Wireless telegraphs can extend to places that are beyond the reach of wired telegraphs, and are most suitable for maritime communications, which can control the ocean and prevent the naval group from going out independently. The warships and warships cannot be connected by wires.
Chu Yun also wanted to use radio to manage Japan, Ryukyu, Yizhou, Nanyang and other places.
"The prototype of the first radio telegraph has emerged and can be received within a range of 250 meters... Although it is only 250 meters away now, I can achieve radio communication from here to Japan in five years... However, wired telegraphs are safer, stable, and have more transmission content. If possible, the military master, you should still lay a submarine cable from Beijing to Edo Castle." Marconi introduced the research results of radio telegraph to Chu Yun, and at the same time recommended wired telegraph to Chu Yun.
"In the past two years, the factory has been producing armored submarine cables. From Beijing to Nanjing, most of the wired telegrams in Guangzhou are actually under the sea." Chu Yun has actually been laying submarine cables. Compared with land cables, submarine cables do not require digging tunnels and building brackets. The investment is less than land and the construction speed is faster. Therefore, Chu Yun preferred to build coastal routes from Liaodong to Beijing, and then to Nanjing, and Guangzhou, because submarine cables can be used.
In order to load the undersea cables for laying, large sailboats such as the Victory were even dispatched to load the cables. Otherwise, Chu Yun would not have received a congratulatory message from Guangzhou Prefecture or Nanjing Prefecture a few days ago.
Next, Chu Yun also plans to establish a radio from the capital to Ryukyu and Edo Castle to achieve local control.
"Is it still 5 years before the radio can be put into practical use? Can it be used for the naval fleet in advance?" Chu Yun is more concerned about using the three fleets during combat.
Timely information transmission is very useful in the military and may even determine success or failure.
"No, I must ensure the reliability and stability of the radio. Otherwise, the navy will rely too much on radio. Once the distance is too far or encounters severe weather such as storms in the sea, the radio may fail, which will cause trouble to the fleet at that time." Marconi said, "5 years is not too late. In another five years, you can open the radio station you mentioned by the military leader."
He has put radio signals into practical use in 5 years and opened a radio station in 10 years. Chu Yun always feels it is too long. Why is researching all kinds of technology so slow? I guess his son will even be able to make soy sauce by then.
"Okay, you don't have to be under pressure. Just concentrate on research. I will lay submarine cables between Japan and Beijing in the next year. No matter how radio develops, submarine cables will eventually be the main means of remote communication." Chu Yun thought that in his previous world, submarine cables were still the most important means of communication in the international community.
However, the amount of messages that current cables can actually convey is simply a slight witch compared to those of later cables.
After laying the submarine cable, it is enough to contact the Beiyang Fleet, Tokyo Branch and Tokyo Academy far away in Japan.
As for the connection between the capital and Goryeo, you can pull a land cable from Liaodong City to Pyongyang City, or directly pull a submarine cable from the capital to Goryeo. Both options are all necessary. Chu Yun is still considering that he needs to go through the same thing as the King of Goryeo. The importance of building a sea cable to Goryeo is only ranked third.
The first one is to pull up the undersea cable from Beijing to Japan to achieve timely remote control of Japan. The second one is to pull up the undersea cable from Guangzhou Prefecture to Nanyang, allowing Nanyang to enter the Huaxia Point News Network.
