I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In the supported places, the steam revolution began, and it evolved from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

Nanjing, on the other hand, took the lead and stepped into the electric age with half a foot.

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

In May, Nanjing's first thermal power plant was built 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 the technical support of Wu Changqing and even the sample support of the generator, Fei Yufeng quickly understood the generator and asked the machinery factory to mass-produce a batch for the construction of the 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 pushes the steam wheel to rotate, which drives the generator to rotate to generate electricity.

This process seems quite low.

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

In this comparison, the hot water suddenly becomes taller.

There is a joke that the highest technology of human beings is to boil hot water, and it is not just a joke.

"It's bright, it's bright."

There was cheers in the factory as the light bulbs went on.

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.

But Dahua didn't need to wait for this period of time. With Wu Changqing's guidance, when the power plant was built, the Jinling Electric Light Bulb Factory was also built, and practical light bulbs were produced.

Wu Changqing only needed to tell the researchers to use tungsten as the filament, and he directly solved the researchers' biggest trouble.

If Edison found out, he would have to cry and faint in the toilet, not to bully people like this.

The power of the transmigrator is so terrifying.

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

Light bulbs actually appeared before power plants.

After the completion of the power plant, Nanjing immediately started laying electric wires, preparing to take the lead in installing electric lights in several prosperous areas and industrial areas in Nanjing.

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

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

The installation of electric lights in prosperous areas actually only plays a role in the convenience of the people, and the development significance is not great.

The most helpful thing for development is to install electric lights in factories.

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

After installing the lights, the problem was completely solved.

In the old factory, there were only about 10 hours of production a day.

Now, with electric lights, two shifts can be implemented, production can be non-stop 24 hours a day, and the production efficiency can be doubled directly.

This increase in efficiency is quite exaggerated. It can nearly double the profits of factory owners out of thin air, and at the same time, it is equivalent 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 light, the first human beings whose routines are reversed are about to appear.

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

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

A lot of people, even if they read the newspaper, don't understand why the light bulb glows, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the people know that this thing is 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 wire and telegraph is actually not difficult, but it is difficult for ordinary people to think of it.

In the original history, shortly after electricity was discovered, someone thought of using the terrifying transmission speed of electricity to quickly transmit information.

Just connect the two grounds with twenty-six wires, each one representing a letter, and then one end will be powered, the other end will react, thereby transmitting information.

Energized, a reaction occurs.

The principle is simple, but important. Countless technologies that look extremely high-end in later generations still use this basic principle.

However, this method is a bit expensive and has no use value.

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

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

He felt 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 an infinite number of codes. For example, 000 is me, 001 is you, 0010102 is horse...

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

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

Just write a

This code is fine, just 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 even more.

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

Wu Changqing knew this idea, so he didn't need to spend any technology points. He directly called the telegraph researcher and told them to do it this way. One by one, they all opened their huts and admired Wu Changqing in various ways.

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

Because they take it too seriously.

In war, the importance of intelligence cannot be overstated.

There have been countless defeats in history, all because of the untimely delivery of information.

And with this telegram, you don't have to worry about that anymore.

In the past, when there was a rebellion in a remote area, it would take a few days, or even more than ten days, just for the news to return to the capital, delaying things.

And as long as there is this telegraph machine, in the event of a rebellion in a remote area, a telegram is sent out, and Nanjing can instantly know, and then immediately send troops to minimize losses.

In June, the first telegram from the cabinet of Nanjing to the station of the 1st Division outside the city was successfully sent.

The telegram contained only a few words, and the signal was sent immediately.

The telegraph room of the first division recorded the code according to the flashing signal, and then compared it to the codebook one by one, and successfully obtained the information.

The signal flare was lifted into the air, and the telegraph room in the city of Nanjing burst into countless cheers.

This means, Telegram succeeded.
