Su Shu stood under the bright moonlight and looked at the telegraph machine in front of him.
These machines looked ordinary, but in his eyes, they seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.
The radio project was successful, and wireless telegraphy, a technology that could change the world situation, emerged.
The most critical point is that the radio project is solely owned by him.
This can prove that Su Shu has a unique vision, has a thorough understanding of technology, and likes to invest huge sums of money in technology.
He possesses these characteristics, and traditional Confucianism only describes him as mediocre.
Even the New Confucians, whose empire has gone through many turmoils and gradually changed, would not think highly of him.
In the eyes of Confucians, this approach of Su Shu is definitely not a bonus.
The reason why he was so happy was that in the eyes of his father, this was a very outstanding performance.
The most important point is that this is his true performance, not a performance full of flaws.
Su Shu combined his more than ten years of educational achievements and judged that the radio project would not be simple.
He invested most of his savings into this project.
Even if Su Shu had the slightest doubt about the radio project, he would not do it.
He looked at Mei Hongyun, who was standing aside, concentrating on the status of the telegraph machine.
"Mr. Mei, the wireless telegraphy developed by your team has exceeded my expectations.
Wireless telegraphy technology is so powerful, and the project was a complete success.
I am not a stingy person either. I took out 20,000 taels of silver coins as a bonus for the project team.
Mr. Mei received 10,000 taels of silver coins alone, and the rest of the project team received bonuses of 10,000 taels of silver coins from Mr. Mei based on their contributions."
As soon as Su Shu finished speaking, Mei Hongyun had not yet spoken.
The rest of the project team immediately cheered loudly.
They celebrated the success of the project and also celebrated the high bonuses the project received.
Ten thousand taels of silver coins is a huge amount of money, and the project team is small, so each person can get at least a thousand taels of silver coins.
This amount of money is enough to buy a house outside the capital.
These people can be considered to have truly taken root in the capital.
Mei Hongyun kept cheering when he saw the members of the project team.
He knew that he could never refuse or dampen the enthusiasm of others.
Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Mei Hongyun said loudly: "On behalf of all the members of the project team, I would like to thank Mr. Su for the bonus.
Our project team will definitely continue to improve wireless telegraphy technology."
Su Shu was very happy to see Mei Hongyun, and other members of the radio project team were even happier.
He knows that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As a superior, the most taboo thing is to draw a big pie.
Only by making clear rewards and punishments will more outstanding talents unite around him.
Su Shu explained: "Wireless telegraphy technology has been successful, and I will publicize this technology.
Wireless telegraphy technology is so powerful that the cabinet and the Metropolitan Government will inevitably purchase it.
You will suffer first and make some prototypes on a small scale.
At the same time, I will sort out the manufacturing technology of the machine, and then I will build a factory to specialize in the production of wireless telegraph machines."
Mei Hongyun immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will arrange these things and they will definitely not affect Mr. Su's plan."
The scientific research contract they signed was a common contract in the empire.
As the most important person in the radio project, Mei Hongyun enjoys a 2% dividend right to this technology.
The more popular the wireless telegraph machine was, the more dividends he would receive subsequently, and he was very motivated.
Su Shu looked at the wireless telegraph machine that was powered on under the electric light.
He asked: "Mr. Mei, the wireless telegraph machine can be connected to the power supply under normal circumstances.
If it is far away from the city in an emergency, then it cannot be used?"
Su Shu knew that the current wired telegraph machine must be connected with two cables.
One cable is responsible for transmitting signals, and the other is responsible for connecting power.
Wireless telegraph machines have removed the cables that transmit signals, but they still rely heavily on power, and their use scenarios are very limited.
Warships usually have generators, and installing wireless telegraph machines on warships will not be affected.
But when the Army was on the march, they couldn't find a reliable power source.
A steam generator is a big thing.
It is impossible for the army to carry such a huge machine during a normal march.
When Mei Hongyun heard this problem, it was a problem he had thought of for a long time and had already figured out a way to solve it.
He took out a cylindrical machine about the size of a kettle, with a small shaking handle on it.
Mei Hongyun pulled out a power cord from the back of the machine and connected it directly to the wireless telegraph machine.
He cut off the power of the wireless telegraph machine, held down the machine with his left hand, and quickly shook the handle with his right hand.
The green light bulb on the wireless telegraph machine changes from dark to bright, which means that the wireless telegraph machine can be used normally.
Mei Hongyun introduced: "Mr. Su, the power required by wireless telegraph machines is very low.
It can be equipped with a simple hand-operated generator, so that the wireless telegraph machine can still be used normally when there is no power supply.
This hand-cranked engine is not very convenient to use.
As I understand it, the Royal Academy of Sciences is working on a technology called batteries.
It can store electrical energy, and once a breakthrough is made in this technology, the wireless telegraph machine can be simply modified to accommodate future battery technology."
When Su Shu saw the compact hand-operated generator, he no longer worried about the application scenarios of wireless telegraph machines.
"Mr. Mei, it's late at night now. The wireless telegraphy technology has been confirmed. Let's get off work now."
Mei Hongyun knew that Mr. Su was about to leave, so he immediately bid farewell to Mr. Su in person.
"Mr. Su, they can't leave yet. They have to continue collecting the usage data of the wireless telegraph machine."
Mei Hongyun accompanied Su Shu to leave Huaxia University.
He looked at the bodyguards following Su Shu and knew that Su Shu's identity was extraordinary, not just a foreign minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Mei Hongyun knew that he had to catch Mr. Su hard.
Now that wireless telegraphy has been successful, a corner of the radio project has been revealed.
If he wants to keep Mr. Su invested, he must learn how to draw cakes.
After Mei Hongyun finished thinking, he saw that the group of them had almost reached the school gate.
He said with a slightly excited tone: "Mr. Su, wireless telegraphy is only the simplest application of radio.
The laboratory was well funded and I also conducted more in-depth research on radio.
Some equipment cannot be developed yet due to technical problems, but I can also enjoy the prospects of radio.
Mr. Su has seen telephone calls before.
Telephones connected by lines allow two people who are far away to talk to each other.
I believe that in the future, telephones will no longer need that wire, but will only need to communicate with each other through radio.
Of course, the technical difficulty required for this is too high, and it will take a very distant future to realize this technology.
But there is a technology that will be realized in the near future.
One-to-one communication is too difficult. There can be a center that broadcasts fixed content to others, and other people use devices to listen.
I call this technology broadcast.
All you need is a device that sends out electromagnetic waves.
As long as it is within the coverage of this device, any device can receive electromagnetic waves and listen to the transmitted content.
Mr. Su, think about the importance of newspapers now.
In teahouses and taverns, people often read newspapers.
Reading newspapers still requires some barriers, but if it is changed to a radio that transmits sounds, listeners will not have any barriers."
When Su Shu heard about the technology of broadcasting, his eyes immediately lit up.
As a prince who aspired to be crown prince, he immediately realized the importance of broadcasting.
Broadcasting will definitely surpass newspapers and become the most important information carrier.
Whoever controls broadcasting controls public opinion.
Su Shu said proudly: "Mr. Mei, I support you in continuing to explore important applications of radio.
Mr. Mei’s laboratory will definitely not be short of funds.”
When Mei Hongyun heard this promise, he immediately clenched his fists.
Mr. Su is really a talented person with a keen eye.
…………………………
The success of wireless telegraphy kept Su Shu awake last night and spent the whole night writing plans in the mansion.
He wants to gain a higher reputation for himself through some means.
He was ridiculed by many people some time ago, and now the emergence of wireless telegraphy will be the most powerful means of counterattack for Su and Shu.
Su Shu stayed up all night, his eyes were slightly red, and he had a simple breakfast at home.
The things he was waiting for were also transported to the courtyard.
Su Shu asked Mei Hongyun yesterday to prepare four exquisite-looking wireless telegraph machines for him.
He planned to bring these four telegraph machines into the palace.
Two of them were given to my father to indirectly tell him about his sharp vision and his love for science.
The other two are for the Queen Mother. His current methods are relatively immature and he must ask for guidance from the Queen Mother who is more experienced.
Su Shu took four wireless telegraph machines and headed to the palace.
He successfully entered the palace and has moved outside the palace, but with his status, he will not encounter any obstruction when entering the palace.
He first arrived not far from the Qianqing Palace and learned through the guards that his father was busy.
He could only give the wireless telegraph machine to the young eunuch and give this gift to his father when he was free.
Su Shu brought the special gift of a wireless telegraph machine to Kunning Palace where Queen Wang Wenjun lived.
He carried a box in each hand and personally brought the wireless telegraph machine into Kunning Palace.
Queen Wang Wenjun heard the maid's report, and the eldest prince Su Shu came to see her.
She put down what she was doing and immediately waited in the living room.
The son has grown up and moved out of the palace.
Queen Wang Wenjun cannot see the eldest prince Su Shu as easily as before.
The most important point is that the child has grown up and does not need to be around her.
Queen Wang Wenjun still needs to raise the infant prince and princess, and she still doesn't feel lonely in the palace.
She saw the eldest prince Su Shu walking into the living room, his temperament was completely different from before.
The eldest prince Su Shu has become more mature after being trained in the officialdom.
There is little friendship in officialdom, it is all about interests.
Queen Wang Wenjun has always been worried that the eldest prince Su Shu is not suitable for officialdom.
Looking at Su Shu's performance now, he has entered the officialdom and is as comfortable as a fish in water.
Su Shu placed the wireless telegraph machine in front of his mother.
He explained the function of the wireless telegraph to his mother.
Queen Wang Wenjun listened to the introduction of the eldest prince Su Shu. She didn't care at first, but then her eyes widened, showing excitement.
When she heard the eldest prince Su Shu finished speaking, she immediately asked: "Shu'er, this machine is really as magical as you said."
Su Shu nodded and said: "Mother, I have personally verified it.
If your mother doesn’t believe it, you can also try the telegraph machine.”
Empress Wang Wenjun was cautious and began to experiment with wireless telegraph machines under the guidance of the eldest prince Su Shu.
She heard the rhythmic ticking of the wireless telegraph machine in front of her.
The content of the telegram was soon translated, and it turned out to be Queen Wang Wenjun's recipe for this morning.
She looked at Su Shu and said in a relaxed tone: "The technology of wireless telegraphy is too important.
Don't leave the palace today, no matter how late your father learns about this technique, he will make sure you get it right."
Queen Wang Wenjun said in a relaxed tone: "Shu'er, you invested in this project, which shows that you are very interested in science.
With your current performance, I don't need to worry about your future performance.
Wireless telegraphy technology had a great impact on the empire and would definitely affect Shu'er's future development.
This is completely a good thing for Shu'er.
My mother developed the cowpox vaccine that year, which basically eliminated the smallpox plague. The cowpox vaccine has saved countless lives.
Since then, the queen mother's reputation has remained extremely high.
It is precisely because of your mother's performance and reputation that your father has always respected your mother.
Wireless telegraphy was the most important turning point for Shuer.
Shu'er didn't have enough accumulation before, so he only relied on the influence left by your uncle in the officialdom.
Following the navy for two years only lasted a certain period of time and had no influence on the navy's decision-making.
With the emergence of wireless telegraph technology, naval officers had reasons to buy this kind of telegraph.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a good opportunity for Shu'er to expand her network of contacts."
What Su Shu thought when he saw his mother was similar to what he thought.
He immediately took out the plan he had written out all night long and handed it to his mother to read.
After Queen Wang Wenjun finished reading, she crumpled the plan into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
She looked at Su Shu's slightly surprised eyes and explained: "Shu'er, plant the phoenix tree and the phoenix will come.
A small means like building momentum may lead to backlash if not used properly.
Shu'er is already in an invincible position, so there is no need to work hard and do some useless work.
What Shu'er needs to prepare now is to deal with his father's inquiries."
Su Shu heard that his mother completely rejected his plan.
Now that he thought about it, this plan was indeed too hasty.
He has a high reputation now and will gain more reputation as things spread.
Su Shu's expression became determined, and he said: "Mother, I know what should be done now?
It's better to be still than to move. We already have the biggest cake in our hands, we just need to wait and see what happens.
Now is not the time to make trouble, we need to observe the next development of the situation."
Queen Wang Wenjun reacted quickly when she saw Su Shu.
The eldest prince Su Shu must have a flexible mind so that he can hope to compete for the position of King of Chu.
My husband has not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince.
This also shows that everyone in the palace has a chance.
The mother and son were discussing the future development of wireless telegraphy.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and the person outside the door said briefly: "The Queen, your Majesty's trusted eunuch Zhou Fangzhi has something to ask to see the Queen."
When the eldest prince Su Shu heard that Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi had arrived, he immediately stood up.
Father-in-law Zhou Fangzhi usually would not come to the queen mother for anything, he must have come here for him.
