Chapter 717: Telegram appears

Where it was supported, the steam revolution began, evolving from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

Nanjing, on the other hand, is one step ahead, half-footed into the electrical age.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as entering the electrical age, it is just that there is electricity.

In May, Nanjing's first thermal power plant was completed and put into use.

The principle of power generation is actually very simple, but it is difficult to discover this principle.

After mastering electromagnetic induction, Fei Yufeng began to study generators.

With Wu Changqing’s technical support and even the generator’s sample support, Fei Yufeng quickly understood the generator and asked the machinery factory to mass produce a batch for the construction of a power plant.

Jinling Power Plant, trial operation.

More than a dozen workers were shirtless, and with Fei Yufeng's order, they began to add coal to the boiler and then boil hot water.

The water is converted into steam, and the steam pressure drives the steam turbine wheel to rotate, which drives the generator to rotate to generate electricity.

This process seems quite low.

However, later generations of nuclear power plants actually use nuclear energy to generate heat, then heat hot water, and use steam pressure to push the machine to rotate and generate electricity.

In this contrast, boiling hot water suddenly became taller.

There is a ridiculous saying that the highest technology of mankind is to boil hot water, not just ridicule.

"It's on, it's on."

With the lighting of the light bulb, cheers rang out in the factory.

In the original time and space, even if electricity was discovered and invented, it has been a long time since it was put into practical use.

However, Dahua did not need to spend this time. With Wu Changqing's guidance, when the power plant was completed, the Jinling Light Bulb Factory was also built and produced practical light bulbs.

Wu Changqing only needs to tell the researchers to use tungsten as the filament to directly solve the researchers' biggest trouble.

If Edison knew, he would have to cry in the toilet, and don't bring such bullies.

The power of the traverser is terrifying.

The material problem is solved, and the rest is just the process of some experiments.

Light bulbs actually appeared before power plants.

After the power plant was completed, Nanjing immediately began laying wires and was preparing to install electric lights in several prosperous areas and industrial areas of Nanjing.

Because the electric light was just invented and its safety has yet to be verified, it was not installed in the palace in the first time.

After all, for the palace, safety is always the most important thing.

The installation of electric lights in prosperous areas is actually just a little convenience for the people, and it is of little development significance.

The most helpful thing for development is the installation of electric lights in the factory.

In the past, kerosene lamps were used in factories, which were costly, poor safety, and the brightness of the lights was too low to allow workers to work overtime.

After installing electric lights, this problem was completely solved.

In the previous factory, production was only about 10 hours a day.

But now with electric lights, two shifts can be implemented, production can be performed 24 hours a day, and the production efficiency is directly doubled.

This increase in efficiency is quite exaggerated, allowing factory owners to nearly double their profits out of thin air, and at the same time it is tantamount to nearly doubling the number of jobs.

This is definitely a good thing for development.

Of course, for workers, it must be more fortunate.

With the popularization of electric lights, the first humans whose work and rest are reversed are about to appear.

When a certain factory took the lead in installing electric lighting and tasted the benefits, other factories suitable for overtime began to rush to install electric lights.

For a time, electric light became a hot word in Dahua Daily.

Many people, even after reading the newspaper, don't understand why the light bulb emits light, but it doesn't matter, anyway, people just know that this thing is used for lighting.

Lighting, this is the application of people's livelihood.

In the military, Dahua is already building a telegraph line from Nanjing to Shanghai.

The technology of cable telegraphy is actually not difficult, but it is hard for ordinary people to think about it.

In the original history, shortly after electricity was discovered, some people thought that the terrifying transmission speed of electricity could be used to quickly transmit information.

Just use twenty-six wires to connect the two places, each wire represents a letter, and then one end is energized, and the other end will respond, thereby transmitting information.

Turn on electricity to produce a reaction.

The principle is simple, but very important. The basic principles of countless seemingly extremely high-end technologies in later generations are still the same.

However, this method costs a bit of wires and is of no use value.

With the theoretical basis, the next people are thinking of ways to reduce costs and studying how to reduce the number of wires.

Then, a painter named Morse invented the most primitive programming.

He feels that power-on can represent a signal (0), power-off can represent a signal (1), and the duration of power-on is another signal (2).

Then, these three signals can form countless codes. For example, 000 is me, 001 is you, 0010102 is the horse...

In theory, the infinite combination of these three different signals can represent all text, even more complex information.

In this way, only one wire is needed to transmit all the information.

You only need to write a code in advance and specify what signal represents what word.

The principle of transmitting information is the same, but the method is more convenient.

In fact, it can be simplified.

The code for later generations only needs two numbers, 0 and 1.

Wu Changqing knew this idea, so he didn't need to spend a lot of science and technology. He directly called the people who researched the telegram and told them to do it like this. They immediately opened up their huts one by one, and then admired Wu Changqing in various ways.

Today, the military has coded every word in the Dahua Dictionary, and then printed a thousand copies in one go.

Because they attach too much importance to this thing.

In war, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.

There have been countless defeats in history, all of which were caused by delayed intelligence transmission.

With this telegram, there is no need to worry about this problem anymore.

In the past, there was a rebellion in remote areas, and it took only a few days, or even more than ten days, for the news to reach the capital, delaying things.

As long as this telegraph machine is in place, once a rebellion occurs in a remote place and a telegram is sent, Nanjing can instantly know it, and then immediately dispatch troops to minimize the loss.

In June, the first telegram from the cabinet of Nanjing to the station of the first division outside the city was successfully sent.

The telegram contains only a few words, and the signal is transmitted immediately.

The Telegraph Room of the First Division recorded the codes according to the shining signal, and then compared them one by one against the codebook, and successfully obtained the information.

When the flares lifted off, the telegraph room in Nanjing suddenly uttered countless cheers.

This means that the telegram succeeded.
