Chapter 1178 Tesla's New Toy (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
The so-called victory or failure in a naval battle is nothing more than victory for those with bigger cannons and ships!
A sudden flash of inspiration could very well change the world.
At the crossroads of Zhongdu that day, a naval ship engineer's flash of inspiration changed the sea, changed naval warfare, and even changed this era.
It's just that when the world is about to change, people are still ignorant.
No naval officer would have known that the revolution of the navy was happening today, right now. Even Lin Yuehu, who personally promoted this change, had never thought about what changes this "unified artillery battleship" would bring to naval warfare when he asked the Navy Ship Administration Office to study the "unified artillery battleship".
This is the most common thing about change.
When change happens, people are often ignorant, even those who are driving it.
On this day, although the sky was cloudless, there was still a light drizzle. People hid under umbrellas and walked through the puddles on the ground. Of course, there were also some people who didn't even hold umbrellas and just strolled on the streets.
"It's finally here,"
Wang Li, wearing a cowhide hat, looked at the building opposite and talked to himself.
“This place is so hard to find!”
In order to get to this laboratory, he took three buses along the way before arriving at this laboratory in the suburbs.
Tesla laboratory.
In the Ming Empire, this is not a very famous laboratory. If we have to talk about its fame, it has at most a certain relationship with the Nanhua Company - it is funded by the company. However, it is well known that there are at least 800 laboratories funded by the company, and this is just one laboratory.
"Mr. Te, we are all very curious about what your invention is."
In the laboratory, Leng Qingyun, the company's vice president, looked at the empty laboratory and joked at Tesla.
"I have been waiting for good news from you for the past few years. I believe your invention is worth our wait."
In the scientific community of the Ming Dynasty, Nanhua Company is usually referred to as "stepmother".
What is a stepmother?
After you pay the money, they won’t ask any more questions... They won’t ask about your results or your return.
Is there anyone who is so Buddhist?
But that’s how the company treats the laboratory. They just pay the money and don’t ask anything else.
Of course, the company still sends auditors to audit the finances every year to ensure that funds are used for research.
As for the results and rewards, they didn't even ask.
It's like a stepmother who throws money at you and then doesn't care about anything else.
However, these children raised by stepmothers... have indeed achieved many results in various fields.
“I think it’s worth it.”
Tesla said quite conceitedly.
“I believe it will be worth all of our wait!”
Afterwards, Tesla divided the two dozen invited reporters into two groups, one indoors and the other outdoors, on a ranch several kilometers away.
There was still rain floating in the air, and people stood under the awning, looking around curiously.
What is this experiment?
When everyone was curious, a broadcast suddenly sounded on the ranch.
"music?"
"Beethoven?"
The radio was playing Beethoven's music, and the music was coming from a speaker on top of a telephone pole.
While everyone was confused, Tesla walked under an awning and pointed to an electric horn not far away and said.
"Radio is a very magical invention. We convert sound into electricity and amplify it through a loudspeaker, or "electric horn", to spread the sound to thousands of households. But as we all know, it has many limitations. For example, only a few big cities have broadcasting companies because its transmission requires wires..."
Broadcasting companies were not a new industry in the Ming Dynasty. They installed electric speakers in the city, played news, music, and dramas to attract customers, and made a living by playing advertisements. However, the broadcast time and installation location were subject to various restrictions to avoid disturbing the public.
"We need a radio that can spread our voices across the country and even the world..."
When Tesla finished speaking, the music in the speaker stopped, but music came from the awning, coming from the table.
When everyone was curious, Tesla lifted the red cloth on the table, revealing a wooden box.
“Now, we have it…it’s wireless.”
Tesla puffed out his chest and spoke to everyone.
“This is also my gift to the world! With it, everyone can listen to music and the latest news at home…”
The sound of music was still echoing in the pasture, and reporters including Wang Li looked at the wooden box curiously.
"It... doesn't require wires?"
"It just needs to be connected to a power source, and in places without electricity, it can be powered by batteries."
Tesla pointed to a wooden box on the table that was not connected to any wires.
"Now it is powered by batteries. As long as the power of the radio transmission tower is strong enough, it can receive radio broadcasts all over the world!"
When Tesla was explaining his invention to everyone, Leng Qingyun on the side was stunned because he knew what it was!
radio!
Yes, this is radio!
Radio, that's top secret of the empire!
Radio stations and radio broadcasting seem to be different, but with radio broadcasting, are radio stations far from each other?
As the company's vice president in charge of technology, Leng Qingyun knew about radio stations, but what he didn't know was that... Tesla actually invented radio... broadcasting.
"Mr. Te, this..."
Tesla said to Leng Qingyun.
"Manager Leng, do you think it's worth everyone's wait?"
Is it worth it?
It was certainly worth it, and everyone believed it was worth it, even the most ignorant person knew what radio broadcasting meant.
However, this matter seems a bit...
Looking at the excited reporters around him, Leng Qingyun, the company's vice president, couldn't help but feel a headache.
Now, what?
Radio is a military secret.
But radio broadcasts...is that a secret?
Noticing that Leng Qingyun's expression was a little changeable, as if he had some concerns, Tesla walked over and spoke softly.
"Manager Leng, are you worried?"
"Worry, what am I worried about?"
As if his secret had been exposed, Leng Qingyun quickly shook his head and said.
Tesla said to him in a very light tone.
"When I was experimenting, I received a signal like this... beep, beep... da..."
Leng Qingyun was stunned for a moment. He almost subconsciously wanted to call the security personnel over, because this matter was a top secret of the empire!
