Chapter 476: The Autumn Harvest (3)

.Maxwell, who was born under the education of the Red Celestial Empire, and his colleagues in the laboratory, under the hard guidance of Zheng Nan, the "unique and greatest scholar in the world today", after nearly a year of hard work, according to Zheng Nan's theory, not only did their carefully designed "oscillating dipole" (the most primitive radio transmitter) and "resonant dipole" (the most primitive radio receiver), they finally successfully detected the existence of electromagnetic waves (three meters away from the oscillating dipole, jumping electric sparks were observed from the gap between the two small copper spheres of the resonant dipole. This weak electric spark confirmed from scientific practice that Zheng Nan's changing magnetic field can generate electric fields as long as it exists in a certain place in the space.

There is a constantly changing magnetic field, and the latter will arouse a new changing electric field further away... In this way, the electric field generates a magnetic field, and the magnetic field generates an electric field. In this way, the changing electromagnetic field will spread from near to far in the air, forming a special fluctuation. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave is essentially the alternating electric field and the magnetic field alternately, and spreads from near to far to the surroundings. Just as a certain water molecule vibrates up and down, thus driving the adjacent water molecules to fluctuate and vibrate, thus forming a prediction like a water wave, announcing a new technological era - the arrival of the era of radio electronics), and has repeatedly studied and improved the "radio conductor", namely the "powder detector", which truly opened the door to put electromagnetic waves into practical applications.

Using the "powder detector" technology, Maxwell and his colleagues successfully trial-made the first ticker. At the same time, at the guidance of Zheng Nan, a French scholar Lumencov used the high-voltage transformer (r) technology with an iron core designed by himself in Paris as early as 1851 to connect the Morse telegraph key to r with the primary coil of r. When the Morse telegraph key was pressed, the primary current of the transformer was periodically turned on and off by a "interrupter" similar to the electric bell. Each interruption generated a very high induced voltage in the secondary coil of r, which caused an electric spark to occur between two small balls connected to the secondary coil, and emit electromagnetic waves to the surrounding space through the outdoor suspended antenna. The trial production of the first transmitter in history was completed.

On September 18, 1856, a tall antenna stood on the main building of the Tianjin Academy of Sciences. In the laboratory, under the concern of Zheng Nan, Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, and his colleagues, Maxwell personally operated it and successfully achieved historical radio communication with Zhenjiang hundreds of miles away.

In order to always remember Zheng Nan's great contribution to mankind and science, all colleagues from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences decided to officially name the vibration frequency unit "zn" they had already used to privately using, despite the repeated "protests" of Vice Chairman Zheng.

"...Led by this rare scientific giant, you can't imagine how happy the work here is. His brain is like a perpetual motion machine that never stops rotating. After we harvest a result, we start a new round of sowing. This is the truly sacred temple of science. Here, we never have to worry about the funds needed for scientific research, let alone consider whether our own life is perfect. They are chasing the modern world at the speed of running, and have already arranged everything for you so meticulously..."

This is a passage written by Maxwell to the physicist Faraday who was far away in the UK. With his efforts, he once refused the president of the Academic Committee of the Royal Society and the Dean of the Royal Academy, and repeatedly politely declined Mr. Faraday, who was preparing to grant him the title of jazz by the British royal family, and repeatedly politely declined Mr. Faraday, who was preparing to grant him the title of jazz by the British royal family.

At the age of 66, he traveled across the ocean and came to China in the spring of 1859. Mr. Faraday, who was committed to scientific research and popularization, and Zheng Nan, who he called the "greatest scientist", soon became the most forgot friends. He had left his tireless figure on the campuses of universities and primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, Tianjing, Beijing, Guangzhou and other places, and made indelible achievements in the development of physics, chemistry and the chemical industry in the celestial period.

However, for some people, the fruitful autumn cannot bring them any sweetness, but only unspeakable bitterness.

The US ambassador to China, Masali, is now like this. Behind the booming market at the beginning of the year, the domestic economic downturn began to show some signs. After entering the second half of the year, it was even more obvious. Inspired and inspired by a large number of powerful new explosives from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, domestic investment enthusiasm for railway construction continued to rise. In addition, a large number of American companies have focused on the grand railway and highway transportation network construction blueprint that promotes everywhere, and stocks of steel are hoarding in advance, which made the British steel market, which is much cheaper than domestic companies, was very popular for a while, causing major British steel mills to work overtime and desperately produce, and the stocks of steel companies are even rolling upwards.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the stockpiling goods became more and more, the market demand became lighter and lighter. No matter how the stockpiling companies tried their best, they seemed to have become stinky dog ​​shit that everyone was annoying overnight, and were popular. So, the final trick began to compete to reduce the price. Even so, the bad luck in the steel market was still the same. Finally, a series of capital chains began to break one after another. The British steel that sold wildly at low prices not only squeezed out domestic steel companies, but also crushed the wallet companies that were originally planning to make money by relying on living money. The economic crisis is coming! For Masali, who lives in their world, the four words "economic crisis" are not unfamiliar with it.

Faced with the increasingly severe economic situation in the country, domestic politicians and experts naturally turned their desire to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to experts, since the previous year, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government has made a huge amount of money from outside on medicine, explosives, cigarettes, alcohol, silk, tea, ceramics and other consumer goods every year. Although they have just recovered the whole country and are in trouble, they are fully capable of implementing their industrial and transportation plans. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent Masali the President's instructions to Masali that it is necessary to clear the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as soon as possible. As long as their large-scale railway and highway network construction contract is obtained, America, which is deeply suffering, will be saved. Masali is a national hero that America is comparable to Washington.

"I really want to be this hero, but now, I would rather be a more ordinary person."

Masali struggled to tear his increasingly thin gray hair on his head, and looked at the old Qichang senior class who was invited by him, Jin Nengheng, the general manager of the Oriental Company of America Tianlong Group, with helpless moans.

Although Jin Nengheng's business is a bit lighter than before, after all, there are two big bosses with great powers, Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu, who are behind them. Even if there is no railway contract, they will not be starved to death by relying solely on explosives, medicine, cigarettes, clothing, etc. However, there is always no time to do business. So when he received an invitation from the Minister to visit Vice Chairman Zheng, he naturally wanted to do so. When the company was opened to make the government unable to leave him, that would be excellent. He firmly believed that their Tianlong Group could not only ask the embassy to treat itself as a kidnapping, sooner or later, their president would also enter the political arena, and the financially-rich Tianlong Group would eventually be able to remotely control the American government.

However, after reading the president's instructions, Jin Nengheng was also a little vague. From the bottom of his heart, among the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the one he was most willing to deal with was Director Lin, who was the one who commanded thousands of troops. He only looked at the big things and did things without caring about small things. He seemed to be better negotiated in everything. As for the one who was least willing to contact, it should be the Vice Chairman Zheng who was going to visit. This Vice Chairman Zheng is too small and too good at calculating. He wished he could count everything in your bones and could not afford to lose at all.

"Your Excellency, can we..." Jin Nengheng put down the official document in his hand and shrugged helplessly, "I mean... can we clear the things from Shi Dakai first? Hehe... I always feel that it is easier to get in touch with this supreme military leader."

"It's useless..." Masali stretched out his palm, looked at a strand of hair in the palm, shook his head with a bitter face, "I've been there several times before I saw the president's order. He has made it clearer. Although their Celestial Empire is fully restoring, the military mission is still extremely serious. He believes that many hostile forces are still worried about them now and are always on their wrong ideas. Therefore, he must focus on military affairs. As for economic issues, their Chairman and Vice Chairman Zheng are fully responsible."

After hearing Mashali's words, Jin Nengheng was stunned for a while, and later asked cautiously, "Didn't you bring..." His hand gestured, and the meaning was very obvious, and he suspected that the stingy Mashali must have not brought enough "tools" to clear up when he went there. If there is no profit, who would be willing to care about your idle business?

"Oh... If you see the things I brought, you will be jealous for several days," Masali began to tear her hair up again. "I really don't understand. He didn't even look at it."

"Then...that's really..." Jin Nengheng filed the slutty flower, so he could only ask for a meeting with Vice Chairman Zheng. In comparison, their Chairman Yang Xiuqing's head was even harder to shave.
