Chapter 463: I still underestimated this world
Castel's good night to Blood Harbor Road was heard by everyone in Blood Harbor via the whistle of the newly arrived steam locomotive.
The prince's hand holding the coin suddenly trembled.
He could hardly describe his feelings at the moment. It was clearly just a simple greeting, but due to the long distance between them, after double transcoding and translation, it suddenly became precious.
He seemed to be communicating with steel, talking to the steam engine, and chatting with the sound of the whistle. His personal will was greatly expanded by the machinery. He was no longer a tiny individual, and his voice could resound throughout the Blood Harbor.
The frontiers of will are no longer bound by weak flesh and blood.
Galahad swallowed his saliva. Although he was a little excited, he still hesitated and asked, "This way of transmitting information seems to be a bit troublesome. If it requires the sound of a whistle, it doesn't seem to be much more convenient than building a railway."
The prince shook his head.
"Galahad, you need to think about it. The Zeus code is just a coding method. It doesn't necessarily have to use the sound of a whistle as a carrier. Have you seen it in the scriptures?"
Although the prince did not say anything about the holy scriptures, Galahad knew there was only one answer.
——The Holy Book of the Imperial Truth. The Crusaders held it in their hands all day long. Galahad had also read it many times. To be honest, it was indeed a good book, but it had nothing to do with the "Holy Book".
But considering that this church is called "Imperial Truth", it does seem to make some sense.
——The truth of the empire has nothing to do with faith.
"I have seen it, Your Highness."
"The transmission efficiency of vibration in water is much higher than that in air, and sound is a vibration - if it is in a solid, wouldn't it be more efficient?"
Galahad's eyes widened, and Euan, who was standing aside, also showed a thoughtful look, and from time to time his eyes glanced at the top of the bookcase, where the Holy Book of the Imperial Truth was placed.
Is this the power of knowledge? "This is just my rough guess. Since Hughes and his team came up with this code, they must have mastered more technology. Let's go and take a look!"
You An was a little surprised: "Go now? Isn't it too late?"
"It's not late at all. With such interesting technology here, how could Hughes possibly sleep?" The prince said as he pushed Euan out of the house. "Go and prepare the horses!"
"Hahaha, Hughes, my friend, I knew you weren't asleep yet!"
The corner of Hughes' eye twitched: "Didn't I say good night?"
"The night has just begun after we say good night. Come on and talk to me about the code. I'm not sleepy at all. We can talk all night long!"
Hughes sighed.
In the end, he still took out the Morse code and telegraph technology. It was not difficult to manufacture a radio station. The only problems with making vacuum tubes and capacitors were a little troublesome, but they were not insurmountable.
And there is no need to make it so complicated. You can make a more primitive radio station, such as a spark transmitter, which can even be made by hand.
The spark transmitter is technically almost not difficult for Castel, but it is banned on Blue Star due to its low efficiency and short pulse, which causes the transmitted signal to occupy a lot of extra bandwidth.
But there is no such restriction here. Xius has already drawn the blueprint and handed it over to the factory for trial production. It will be ready for trial use soon.
And the coins distributed this time were associated with Morse code. Oh, he changed the name to Seuss code.
These promotions are just a warm-up for radio technology.
He has no plans to share the radio technology for the time being, but this code is different. It is more like a language, and the more people who know it, the better.
In addition, Hughes also planned to try to pull a few telephones. The radio might receive unknown radio waves, but wired telephones should not have so many problems, right? The principle of wired telephones is not complicated, it is nothing more than electromagnetic conversion. At present, the more troublesome thing is that Castel does not have the ability to lay telephone lines in the sea.
Therefore, Castel's communication with Blood Harbor can only rely on radio.
However, the impact is not big. Hughes has now moved his office to Blood Harbor, and Castel is managed by Alexi. He has followed Castel's industrial upgrade throughout the entire process. Whether it is industry, military or research and development, he can handle it. He can be regarded as the most versatile talent under Hughes.
Zeus briefly explained the principle of the telephone to the prince and even wasted a few pieces of paper to make a simple earthen telephone, which basically explained the principle of sound transmission.
"The essence of sound is vibration. All we have to do is transmit this vibration as accurately as possible, right?"
The prince had read the Holy Book of Imperial Truth. Under the compilation of Chloe (deceased) and Alexi, the book had long been more than just an infantry drill manual. It also contained basic physics knowledge, mechanical principles, and so on.
After reading it, you can basically learn the advanced class knowledge seamlessly. The knowledge in the scriptures is even more comprehensive, but not as profound.
Recently, Alexei's editing part has been handed over to Zoe, and she now spends all day holding Chloe's diary and studying how to write it.
Zeus nodded. He was somewhat surprised by the prince's ability to understand. Perhaps this man had some talent as a researcher.
"Yes, the telephone adds a step of electricity and magnetism conversion on this basis, converting the sound into electrical signals, and then converting it back from the speaker of the receiver - that's roughly the idea, and it's all a way of transmitting information, just like my words are converted into the sound of a whistle through the Morse code, and then converted into words through translation."
The prince stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
Zeus yawned and finally finished his story. He was already feeling a little sleepy and just hoped that the prince would stop asking him endless questions.
As for the new steam locomotive, the prince had already seen it on Castel, so he probably wouldn't ask to see it again? Well, there was a new dragon's breath cannon on it. Hearing that the prince was quite interested in the dragon's breath cannon, Hughes was a little uncertain for a moment.
In short, if he must go and see, let Connor take him there. Young men like Hughes need to get more sleep.
But the prince did not make any other moves. He just kept thinking. When Zeus was feeling a little drowsy, the prince suddenly spoke.
"So how do you deal with the evil that accumulates in the current?"
Zeus was still a little dazed, and it took him a while to realize what he had heard.
"What evil god? What is the connection between electricity and evil things?"
"You don't know?" A surprised expression appeared on the prince's face. "There has always been evil in electricity, so the church also calls electricity blasphemous thunder and strictly prohibits related research. Only the Mechanical Temple has some countermeasures."
Hughes' eyes widened.
