Chapter 557 The Science and Technology Center that shocked the world!

In the Crab King Island Communication Research Laboratory, five excellent scientists and more than a dozen researchers are making a final inspection of today's experiment. A shiny metal copper wire is connected from one room to another room 30 meters away, where there are both Chinese and Westerners.

Everyone's expression was excited and nervous, but the movements of their hands were so stable and accurate. At this time, several researchers carefully carried a sulfuric acid battery into another room.

But the scientists kept going in and out between the two rooms more than 30 meters apart, followed by two researchers and kept making records. After a while, everyone's foreheads were covered with sweat, but no one showed a trace of fatigue.

"Okay, Room 1 is ready." One of the scientists poked his head out of Room 1 and shouted loudly. Soon after, the same shout came from Room 2 opposite.

"Very good, gentlemen, I think we can start." Sava, the Spanish director of the research laboratory, took the paper and pen handed over by the researchers next to him. After thinking about it, he wrote the world's first telegram on the note.

However, due to his inner excitement and nervousness, he found that he had misspelled a word after writing. He quickly erased it and rewrote it again, and then gave it to the researcher. It can be reported."

The telegraph sender took the message to be sent. After seeing the content clearly, he couldn't help showing a strange smile on his face, but he still put the note on the table and began to calculate the code.

For the use of electric current for communication, someone had tested it in Europe before, but at that time, the study of electricity was only on static electricity. The first test was a scientist named Morson.

Half a century ago, Morson used the principle of electrostatic induction to transmit information after being energized with 26 wires representing 26 letters, but this kind of machine needed too many wires, with a large and complicated settings, and the distance of electrostatic sensing was limited. Therefore, his invention was not promoted.

--------------------

Sava is very interested in this kind of research, but no one is willing to invest in this seemingly ridiculous experiment. After countless blows, he finally saw a glimmer of opportunity, that is, it is rumored that the monarch of the East is very interested in all kinds of new things, and is willing to give every Those European scientists who are willing to go to the East to carry out research projects have enough money and manpower.

Sava, who was excited, soon made up his mind. As a group of Western scholars with the same dream boarded the giant ship named the boat of knowledge and went to the East. Among these people, there were many strange research topics that could even be called strange, but they were generously represented by those Eastern representatives without exception. Local acceptance.

And here, what Sava didn't expect was that as soon as he came here, he was extremely surprised to find that it was simply a paradise for all the scientists in the world. No matter which discipline or research, it seems that you can find your own bosom friend here.

What surprised him more was that there were already laboratories here that began to use electricity, and even some laboratories were studying electricity. Only then did he know that it was under the guidance of the Oriental King that the scientific guy developed a battery, which could continuously release various experiments. The required current.

This made Sava feel that his experimental topic, which was still in the exploration period, seemed to have found a new direction at once. When he arrived at Crab King Island for five days, he submitted his idea report on building a laboratory that uses electric current for communication on the last day, and received a reply without waiting. After the laboratory was completed and put into work, he received a letter from the director of the island, and the one who wrote the letter was actually the long-rumored king of the East. The content of the letter made Sava finally understand why the arrogant scientists on Crab King Island mentioned the monarch. It seems so awe, even worship.

In that letter, the oriental king kindly gave a very high evaluation of the topic studied by Sava. After that, he launched the idea and inference. Soon, Sava felt as if someone had opened a door and window. Yes, it was like a palace-level expert standing in the door of the science hall and guiding. How can he enter this gate? It is like a lighthouse that has pierced the night, so that he can avoid the countless reefs and return to the calm harbor.

Sava and several like-minded people, under the joint research of those smart and learning Chinese researchers, the research on the subject can be said to be a thousand miles. In just less than two years, he used the principles of electromagnetism to overcome one difficulty after another.

And more importantly, when Sava had a headache about how to transmit information through a single line, another letter from the Oriental King was put on his desk again. Therefore, this signal code, known as Liang's code, became the only public signal code in the telegraph transmission system for more than 100 years.

At this time, the sound of dripping interrupted the memory of Nasava. Almost everyone present held their breath and looked at the rhythmic sound of the telegraph sender.

The message was not long, with a total of twelve words. Soon, the message was sent out. After that, no one left Room 1. All the people waited in silence. Sava's fingers trembled and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and talked to his mouth, but he kept praying to God in his heart. .

Time moves slowly bit by bit. For these people who are waiting, even a minute, it is as far away and difficult as a century.

The sound of footsteps, the rapid footsteps suddenly went from far to near, and almost everyone stood up in an instant and looked at the door in unison. A scientist from the research institute came in. The nearly 50-year-old Frenchman paused at the door, and then walked into the room. With a serious expression, he looked at the pair of eager eyes indoors and finally fell on Sava's face. He walked to Sava and stretched out his big hand. I think I really need a cigarette.

"What did you say?" Sava, who was overly nervous, couldn't help but be stunned and asked subconsciously.

At this time, the Frenchman's mouth turned up badly, put his hand into his pocket and took out an electric newspaper. Didn't you just ask me in the telegram if I wanted a cigarette? Dear Dean, are you just kidding me?

"Yeah!" The telegraph sender jumped up first and raised his hands high. Long live!"

All the people rushed to look at the note just now and found that the content written on the note was actually a sentence that made people laugh and cry: Hello, do you want a cigarette?

However, such emotions have been submerged by the joy and excitement of success in an instant. Everyone in the room was boiling and shouting loudly. But Sava grabbed the electric newspaper and carefully distinguished the code on the electric newspaper. Finally, he held the electric newspaper in his chest and smiled with complete satisfaction, as if holding a love letter from his beloved lover.

"My dear dean, I wonder if you still owe me a cigarette." The Frenchman still had a bad smile, but anyone could see that his mood was so flying.

--------------------

"Of course, you damn Frenchman, I know that you scared me just now. I even thought you didn't receive the signal we sent at all." Sava excitedly took out the bag of cigarettes that had just been folded in his arms, patted the Frenchman's big hand, and then gave him a big hug. Thank you, my old man."

"Well, dear dean, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your success. I didn't expect that we could achieve real success in such a short time. God bless us for creating great miracles. Distance will not be an obstacle to our human communication. The Frenchman Henry drew a cross on his chest with a pious face.

"No, dear old man." Sava was so excited that he raised his hand and kept saying, "This is our common success, and the head of state. Without him, we would have gone astray."

"I have to admit this. Let's go and let these children preach our victory. Let's have a drink first." Henry laughed and patted Sava on the shoulder, spending countless nights. The joy of success really needed a way to vent.

"Of course, dear Henry, today, I must drink all the bottle of Bordeaux wine you hid in your house... Aha." The rigid and lack of a sense of humor now act like a group of children.

And their achievement has made the whole world closer. In the near future, the world will be connected by communication cables.

In another research institute, a group of people are fiercely discussing the feasibility of building a steel bridge on the Pearl River. Among them, two famous bridge experts are from England, Thomas. Telford is a famous and scholarly bridge expert who built his first iron bridge across the Siven River in Montford three years ago.

And his British compatriot James. Douglas is talented but his surname is strange. However, both of them firmly believe that a large amount of cast iron should be used in the construction of a bridge with a permanent surname on such a wide river surface as the Pearl River to increase the durable surname of the bridge body and its own tensile strength... Another research institute is studying how to make this battery heavy. Reusable batteries and practical surnames for steam engine power generation.

It can be said that even Liang Pengfei himself is afraid that he can't count how many research institutes there are on the crab king island and how many Western scholars he was seduced by him.

Crab King Island has almost become a base camp for scientific guys in the world, with rich rewards, subsequent sharing of benefits, and the abundance of food and clothing. In short, these scientists feel as if they are living in heaven.

And the military academy originally here has also moved to Hong Kong, and the empty territory has been ceded to another comprehensive university. The scholars and experts on this island are ready-made, with teachers belonging to the most advanced science and technology theory in this era.

Liang Pengfei can announce to the whole world without blush that this will be the world's science and technology center, and in the near future, the research results here will be seen and even shocked by the world!
