My Daming New Empire

Page 863

Although he is over 50 years old, Chen Shu still acts vigorously and resolutely.Seeing him, Zhu Zhanji would always think of Sun Lin who had left him in Zhengtong for 35 years.

Sun Lin, who was in charge of the Advisory Information Department at the beginning, was a certain spy. Unfortunately, because Zhu Zhanji no longer accepted eunuchs, there was a shortage of internal servants. Today, the Advisory Information Department has long since declined and has become a commercial intelligence agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Chen Shu is the youngest son of Chen Cheng, the first envoy after the reorganization of the most outstanding diplomatic envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of his father's careful teaching since he was a child, and his own interest and talent in intelligence work, after more than ten years, he took over the post of the General Secretary of the General Administration.

The reorganized Secretary of General Administration is not just a false title without power like in the past.The Secretary of General Administration not only took charge of the Tianxia Post Station and was responsible for the communication of letters from all over the world, but now it has become the Ming Dynasty's Central Intelligence Agency, with eyeliners everywhere in the world.

In terms of rank, the General Political Envoy is half a rank lower than the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he also serves as the Deputy Minister, but in terms of power, it is actually greater.

It is just because many actions of the Secretary of General Administration are inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so in some areas, they are under the unified management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After Chen Shu walked out, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and said, "I'm not eating in the palace anymore. Concubine Lan is teaching everyone at the Truth Teaching today, and I'm going to join in the fun."

As soon as he thought about it, the people below would have to work for a long time, preparing cars and arranging protection along the street.

Just when Zhu Zhanji was about to leave, he saw Ma Di coming in a hurry under the leadership of the servant.

Zhu Zhanji steadied himself, and before he could see him, he said, "Mianli, didn't you arrange for the concubine to give lectures to the researchers in the Truth Church? Why did you come in such a hurry?"

Ma Di took a breath, wanted to say something, but hesitated before saying: "I don't know what to say, Quanzi Mingguang has made a new gadget, and when the imperial concubine heard about it, the class was stopped. He ran to the Electric Power Research Institute. He also said that the minister came to ask His Majesty to go and have a look... phone... yes, phone."

"Are you sure, Concubine Lan is talking about the phone!" Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately overjoyed.He ordered: "Go to Maqiao."

Ever since Zhu Zhanji had electricity, he wanted to develop a telephone, but he knew nothing about the principle of the telephone.

When he was a child, there were few telephones in the countryside, but when he grew up, he was exposed to mobile phones.Although he knew about the phone, he didn't know what the principle of the phone was.

Lan Yan is worse than him, he knows that the telephone was invented by Bell, but Lan Yanyan doesn't know this.

I don't know the principle, even if I want someone to make a phone call, it is impossible.

When making electric speakers, he asked people to study telephones based on the vibration principle of the eardrum, but he has never been successful.

But he never thought that, just when he was about to be disappointed, Ma Dian actually gave him such a big surprise.

The convoy soon arrived at the Electric Power Research Institute, which was surrounded by many researchers.

They had already made arrangements for today to listen to the lectures of the imperial concubine, and now that the imperial concubine came here, they naturally followed.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji coming, everyone saluted.Zhu Zhanji quickly stepped into the gate of the yard while waving to others.

Although Ma Dian was appreciated by Zhu Zhanji, he set up a laboratory in the Electric Power Research Institute, but his qualifications are low, and the laboratory is located in a corner of the third floor.

Zhu Zhanji was ushered over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lan Yan standing in front of a loudspeaker talking, and she was holding a receiver in her hand to her ear.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji come in, she said with a smile on her face, "Although it's a little ugly, it's really possible to talk."

(I recommend my friend Guan Sheng's new book "Ming Ting". He is an old author of history. The last book "Doctrine of Ming Dynasty" was very good and well written, and this book should not disappoint everyone.)

Chapter 19 Great Reward (Revised)

"During the research on generators, Chen found that not only magnets, but also any object can emit a wave of energy. For example, our hair can emit electric sparks in many cases. It's just that magnets can emit more energy, so During the working process, it can convert its own energy into electrical energy.

When Chen put his eyes on the research of this energy, he found that the two parts of the electric field and the magnetic field are closely related.A time-varying electric field causes a magnetic field, and a time-varying magnetic field causes an electric field.When the field source of the electromagnetic field changes with time, the electric field and the magnetic field excite each other to cause the movement of the electromagnetic field to form electromagnetic waves.

The propagation of electromagnetic waves does not require a medium. Electromagnetic waves of the same frequency have different speeds in different media.When electromagnetic waves of different frequencies propagate in the same medium, the higher the frequency, the larger the refractive index and the lower the speed.

And the electromagnetic wave can only propagate along a straight line in the same homogeneous medium. If the same medium is inhomogeneous, the refractive index of the electromagnetic wave in it is different, and it propagates along a curve in such a medium.

When passing through different media, refraction, reflection, diffraction, scattering and absorption will occur.The propagation of electromagnetic waves includes ground waves that propagate along the ground, as well as air waves and sky waves that propagate from the air.

The longer the wavelength, the less attenuation, and the longer the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, the easier it is to bypass obstacles and continue to propagate.All waves are thus volatile.Diffraction, refraction, reflection, and interference are all wave properties. "

Zhu Zhanji was a little confused, he could understand all these technical terms, but when all the words were combined, he was a little confused.

"I don't know much about these, that is to say, you made the phone based on the principle of electromagnetic waves?"

Ma Dian nodded and said: "At first, I didn't want to make this kind of utensil called a telephone by your majesty and the imperial concubine, but I wanted to use the principle of electromagnetic waves to make a telegraph without wires.

But I can't solve the attenuation problem of electromagnetic waves now, without the transmission of circuits, the attenuation of electromagnetic waves is very fast, and it is difficult to be applied..."

Lan Yan said at this time: "I have an idea. Since the electromagnetic wave has attenuation, you just mentioned that it can propagate without a medium, but the propagation attenuation will be reduced in the same medium. If we combine the two telegraphs Electromagnetic waves are at the same frequency, so can the attenuation be alleviated?"

Ma Dian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped up as if enlightened. "Electromagnetic waves, the same electromagnetic waves...I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of building an electromagnetic wave transmitter, so that the problem of attenuation of electromagnetic waves can be solved."

This time, it was Lan Yan's turn to be surprised. She watched Ma Dian running around like ants on a hot pot in surprise, touching the laboratory equipment and muttering to herself from time to time.

"Your Majesty, this Ma Dian seems to have discovered something unusual."

Zhu Zhanji was still a little confused, they were studying the phone, and the phone came out, what could be more unusual!

He asked in a low voice: "What? I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Lan Yan glanced at Zhu Zhanji, as if he was a little laughing at his ignorance.However, she still explained in a low voice: "If the attenuation of electromagnetic waves can be solved, use electromagnetic waves, wireless telegraphs, and radio stations, then you can start to build them. The establishment of electromagnetic wave transmitters by Madian just now is actually what we said to future generations. There is a reason for broadcasting a single station."

Zhu Zhanji was surprised to see Ma Dian lying silently in front of a telegraph, and he didn't dare to disturb the other party. Who knows how many wild ideas are in his mind now. If his inspiration is destroyed all of a sudden, That is a big mistake.

Science and technology researchers like Ma Di and the others naturally knew not to bother Ma Dian under such circumstances, and everyone withdrew one after another, not daring to disturb Ma Dian.

When Zhu Zhanji came to the corridor, he told Li Yuan, "Go and inform Jin Yiwei, count all the people present today, and everyone will ask them to sign a confidentiality letter. No one can mention electromagnetic waves today." It's rumored, but it's a phone call, so there's no need to keep it secret."

Li Yuan was ordered to leave, Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "Ma Aiqing, you have raised a good son!"

Although Madi is not specialized in the study of electricity, his main major is equivalent to the physical mechanics of later generations. This is from the time he first came into contact with hang gliding, and gradually studied it in depth.

Madi has made outstanding contributions to the court's aircraft, ships, steam turbines, and propellers.

But today's talents are all all-rounders. He actually knows better than Zhu Zhanji how important his son's invention is.

Today's electricity utilization is limited to industrial electricity use. In terms of household electricity use, the research and utilization of electricity by the imperial court is still in its infancy.

However, if the scientific and technological application of electromagnetic waves is further studied, a more esoteric subject will be born.

So he is very proud in his heart, and Zhu Zhanji can't hide it.His face was smiling like a flower, and he said insincerely and modestly: "This is all because of His Majesty's wisdom, and only the dog can make some contributions."

Zhu Zhanji said unabashedly in front of everyone: "This is not a little credit. If Mingguang can really develop wireless telegraphy, telephone, and radio, a hereditary duke is not enough to praise his contribution!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, hereditary duke, now Ma Di is the Duke of Fuguo, if Ma Dian is also duke, it will be two dukes from one family, comparable to the Xu family in the founding period.

Moreover, since the Yongle Dynasty, the court titles have undergone a major restructuring. In the past, hereditary titles were good, but now most of the titles are descended from generation to generation.

No matter how great the credit is, it will be favored for three generations at most, and after three generations, it will be descended from generation to generation.

In the past few decades, no matter how great the military achievements are, there has not been a real hereditary title award.

Zhu Zhanji added: "This is the achievement of Ma Dian in the research institute. Patents will be counted to the research institute. However, Ma Dian still has a five-point profit share. You are in charge of the research institute now, and you have to distinguish between public and private."
