Su Shu stood up and looked at Queen Wang Wenjun and said: "Mother, Eunuch Zhou is here. I think it must be related to wireless telegraphy."
Queen Wang Wenjun nodded in approval and said: "My husband sent Zhou Fangzhi to Kunning Palace, probably to ask him to find Shu'er.
All matters related to the harem are sent to female officials to convey them."
Su Shu listened to his mother's answer, which was the same as what he understood.
He bowed and said goodbye to his mother, walked out of Kunning Palace, and saw Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi, his father's trusted eunuch, waiting for him in front of Kunning Palace.
Zhou Fangzhi saw the eldest prince Su Shu walking out of Kunning Palace. He took two quick steps and took the initiative to say hello: "Your Highness, the eldest prince, your majesty sent his ministers to invite the eldest prince to Qianqing Palace."
Su Shu saw that Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi's attitude was different from before, and he respected himself even more.
For people like Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi who were close to their father and emperor, they did not develop an arrogant and domineering attitude.
If they dare to be arrogant and domineering towards the royal family, they will not be able to survive in the palace.
But Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi, before, had only shown respect to people other than Emperor Su He, even Queen Wang Wenjun.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi knew that if he wanted to survive in the palace, he must be absolutely loyal to the emperor and not get close to anyone.
Su Shu saw Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi's current attitude change, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
He then thought that Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi's attitude should be influenced by his father.
Su Shu made the right move by investing in radio, and was recognized by his father.
Thinking of this, he immediately clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "Eunuch Zhou is so polite, I will follow Eunuch Zhou to Qianqing Palace.
I would like to ask Eunuch Zhou, is it because of the technology of wireless telegraphy that my father summoned me?"
Zhou Fangzhi is not an ordinary eunuch. He is a close associate of Emperor Su He and controls the Suzaku Guard who protect the royal family members. He is one of the four guards in the capital.
The Suzaku Guard is not only responsible for the security of the royal family, he is also responsible for the royal family's properties outside.
Zhou Fangzhi knew the trends in the capital very well.
He knew that the eldest prince Su Shu invested in radio technology, and also knew that the reason for the investment was to observe the lover of the eldest princess Su Rong.
But he didn't expect that Emperor Su He valued radio technology far beyond everyone's imagination.
The imperial meeting had just ended, and Zhou Fangzhi led the young eunuchs to report to Emperor Su He the gifts sent by the eldest prince Su Shu.
Emperor Su He confirmed that the wireless telegraph machine could be used normally.
He immediately recalled the ministers who had just left.
At the same time, the eldest prince Su Shu and Mei Hongyun were summoned to attend the imperial meeting.
For the first time, Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi saw that Emperor Su He held an emergency imperial meeting because of some kind of technology.
He heard the question from the eldest prince Su Shu and responded with a smile: "Your Majesty summoned His Highness, it is indeed related to this technology."
After Su Shu heard this, he was completely relieved and followed Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi in a car to Qianqing Palace.
He walked up the steps of Qianqing Palace and was filled with emotion.
When he was a child, he often came to Qianqing Palace to play and play with the jade seal that his father placed beside the table many times.
But this is the first time that I have come to attend a royal meeting, even if I am just a spectator.
Important matters in the empire are all decided at the Imperial Council.
The empire's judgment of a minister's power is closely related to his ability to participate in the Imperial Council.
The ministers who can make decisions at the Imperial Council are the real rulers of the empire.
Ministers who can participate in imperial meetings, observe national policies, and speak in areas that involve their expertise, these people are recognized as candidates for cabinet ministers.
In front of the Qianqing Palace, Su Shu quickly met a familiar person but thought he would never come here, Mei Hongyun, the inventor of radio.
Mei Hongyun was sweating nervously from his temples. He was wearing a thin shirt and there were marks of sweat on his back.
After he met Su Shu, an acquaintance, he said in a slightly awkward tone: "Master Su, what is going on?
I assigned the research project and was about to go to sleep because I was too tired.
I was dragged directly out of bed by a young eunuch and led to the palace."
When Su Shu saw Mei Hongyun's nervous and frightened look, he immediately comforted him: "Mr. Mei, this is a great thing for you.
The wireless telegraph machine you studied was presented to His Majesty the Emperor by me.
After His Majesty the Emperor obtained it, he was immediately overjoyed and called you to the palace, probably to inquire about the situation of the wireless telegraph machine.
If I really want to deal with you, how could I come to the palace? You should be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now."
When Mei Hongyun heard what Su Shu said, he saw that Su Shu was here and knew the specific reason why he was brought here.
Mei Hongyun was no longer afraid, but he was very nervous.
As a college student who has not yet graduated, he usually encounters the biggest official, which is the president of Huaxia University.
He was suddenly brought to the palace. He was now at a loss and didn't know what to do?
Su Shu saw Mei Hongyun's state and knew that he had to let Mr. Mei adjust his mentality.
Mei Hongyun's state will definitely affect subsequent reports.
Su Shu encouraged: "Mr. Mei, the radio project was successful, we were all summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, and Mr. Mei is proud from now on.
If Radio receives the seal of His Majesty the Emperor, Mr. Mei will definitely win the Dragon Award.
Mr. Mei will become a nobleman, completely change his destiny, and he will not have to escape when he meets the girl he loves."
The reason why Su Shu said this was because he was investigating the situation between his sister Su Rong and Mei Hongyun.
Sister Su Rong is protected by the female guards of the Suzaku Guard in the palace.
Coupled with her sister Su Rong's clothing and knowledge, no matter how stupid she is, she knows that her sister Su Rong's identity is extraordinary.
What's more, the students of Huaxia University are all the pride of heaven, and fools can't enter at all.
Mei Hongyun did not dare to accept the love of his sister Su Rong. He was too smart and knew that he was not in the right family and would definitely encounter huge obstacles.
The relationship between the two of them could not progress, but Mei Hongyun did not give up and kept working hard in his own way.
If Mei Hongyun himself gives up and turns his horse into a rogue horse, and he, a poor man, appears, there will be nothing he can do.
When Mei Hongyun heard Su Shu's words, a look of determination appeared on his face. He took several deep breaths and kept encouraging himself in his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mei Hongyun, in this important opportunity, no mistakes are allowed.
The Soaring Dragon Award is very close at hand, you must grab it in your hands."
Su Shu saw that Mei Hongyun's mentality had adjusted, and he was completely relieved.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi received the order from the Qianqing Palace and led Su Shu and Mei Hongyun into the Qianqing Palace.
Su Shu approached the Qianqing Palace and saw all the ministers from the cabinet and the governor's office waiting in the Qianqing Palace.
The various ministries of the cabinet and the four ministries of the Metropolitan Government came to observe. This imperial meeting was relatively large in scale.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi took Su Shu and Mei Hongyun to the empty seats at the back and sat down.
Su Shu came to attend the imperial meeting. The officials were a little surprised, but they were shocked and thought that Emperor Su He had made up his mind.
Mei Hongyun was not wearing official uniform, but ordinary clothes.
On occasions like the imperial meeting, neither official uniforms nor military uniforms nor noble attire were worn.
There is only one possibility, this person is a civilian.
To be able to come to the imperial meeting as an ordinary person, and not be looked down upon by any of the officials present, he must be a truly capable person.
When Emperor Su He saw that everyone had arrived, he looked at the dimly lit incandescent lights above the Qianqing Palace.
He then looked at the two new devices in front of the desk.
Even Emperor Su He did not expect that radio technology could break through so quickly.
The complete form of telegraph technology is wireless telegraph technology. This technology can cover every corner of the world at low cost.
Whether it is in the ravines of the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, or by the desolate Beihai Lake, or even on the ice caps of the North and South Poles.
As long as the wireless telegraph machine pulls up the wire, it can transmit the message instantly.
The empire's territory was very large. If it hadn't been for the emergence of wired telegraphy, it would have been very difficult for the empire to rule its border areas and overseas provinces.
Because wired telegraph technology requires pulling wires, the wires are made of aluminum and copper and are expensive.
The empire could only connect wired telegraphs in prefectural cities and important county towns.
The emergence of wireless telegraphy could bring the empire's rule down to the grassroots level, making border areas and overseas provinces the most stable areas of rule in the empire.
The emergence of wireless telegraphy was also a huge improvement for the empire's army.
Emperor Su He pointed to the wireless telegraph machine and said: "I summoned all the ministers today because of this small machine in front of me.
Su Shu, a member of the Ministry of Science and Technology, come and introduce the effects of the wireless telegraph machine to the ministers."
When Su Shu heard his father's roll call, he immediately stood up and walked forward. The next moment would be his most anticipated moment.
He stood next to the wireless telegraph machine and introduced the effects of the wireless telegraph machine to the ministers.
Su Shu said that wireless telegraph machines did not require cables, and could send signals thousands of kilometers away by pulling up the antenna.
Everyone who heard this effect opened their eyes wide and showed shock.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi knew why Emperor Su He held the imperial meeting.
This technology was worthwhile. As Prime Minister, he knew the role of wire telegraphy in imperial rule.
When a government order is conveyed by the cabinet, it can be conveyed directly to local officials such as the prefect, without the need to spend time communicating it step by step.
If any urgent matters arise in the local area, they can report them to the cabinet in a timely manner via telegram, so that the matter can be handled in a timely manner.
Wired telegraph can only cover large cities, and the line may be broken due to accidents. The cost of building wires is very high, and it is just using copper coins to lay the lines.
These shortcomings meant that even though wired telegraphy had played a decisive role, it did not cover all corners of the empire.
The emergence of wireless telegraph machines solved all the pain points of wired telegraphs.
The empire's rule over frontiers and grassroots will inevitably reach a higher level.
Prime Minister Qian Mingyi knew Emperor Su He and must have seen the huge prospects of wireless telegraphy, so he convened an imperial meeting and mobilized the power of the court to promote wireless telegraphy.
Emperor Su He smiled, he was very satisfied with the performance of the eldest prince Su Shu.
The eldest prince Su Shu dealt with his feelings about his sister and immediately learned about the technology of radio.
Emperor Su He taught his princes to be close to science and love industry since they were young.
Even if they do not have scientists and engineers, their sensitivity to science and technology is higher than that of ordinary people.
The eldest prince Su Shu immediately seized the opportunity, supported Mei Hongyun, and finally developed wireless.
Emperor Su He was aware of the current wireless telegraphy and directed the relatively simple application of radio.
Every technological breakthrough in radio will change the world. This is a technology with extremely high ceilings.
Emperor Su He also asked Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi to bring Mei Hongyun, the discoverer of radio.
Mei Hongyun bowed to Emperor Su He nervously.
Because the money came to him in a hurry, he had not received any special etiquette training and did not know how to salute His Majesty the Emperor. He only followed the etiquette spread in the newspapers.
Su Shu looked at Mei Hongyun, a cheerful and ambitious young man with a Chinese character face.
The eldest princess Su Rong fell in love with this man, but the queen Wang Wenjun tried her best to stop him, thinking that if he was not from a good family, his married life would be unhappy.
Emperor Su He didn't think so. Scientists are a group of very naive people. If a royal princess marries into such a family, her life will be very easy.
On the contrary, if a royal princess marries an official or a noble, she will have to deal with complicated family affairs, and may also suffer from various conspiracies and intrigues, and her life will not be too happy.
Emperor Su He did not want his daughter to become a tool for marriage.
The eldest princess Su Rong married a scientist, which can also enhance the status of scientists and make some smart people no longer just focus on the imperial examination, but realize that becoming a scientist is also an important way to change their destiny.
With the current power of the royal family, he does not need to do this. As long as his daughter is happy, he can also win over some groups. This is the best choice.
A royal marriage is an easy task to accomplish when there are many princes around.
A prince can marry multiple wives, and the efficiency of marriage is completely unmatched by princesses.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Officials and powerful families also prefer to marry their daughters to princes.
Emperor Su He said in a calm tone: "Pingshen, I have a few questions to ask about wireless telegraphy technology."
Mei Hongyun straightened up and carefully looked at Emperor Su He with his peripheral vision, waiting for Emperor Su He's question.
"I know that electrical appliances have power, and this small machine can transmit signals thousands of kilometers away.
If we replace it with a large tower antenna and increase the power of the machine, can the signal be transmitted to farther places?"
When Mei Hongyun heard Emperor Su He ask specific technical questions, he completely relaxed.
He immediately and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty has a good understanding of electrical appliances.
The transmission distance of wireless telegraph equipment is indeed closely related to power.
The distance that large wireless telegraph transmitting and receiving towers can transmit wireless telegraphs is indeed far greater than that of such small telegraph machines.
Huge antennas like iron towers can also capture weaker radio signals, further enhancing the distance of wireless telegraph propagation."
Emperor Su He said happily: "This situation is very good. By setting up a radio tower in the empire, even North America and Europe can be directly contacted.
This further strengthens the connection between the world.
This is conducive to the empire's control of the world."
He asked again: "Whether a wireless telegraph machine can be installed on a ship and send telegrams while moving."
Mei Hongyun replied confidently: "There is absolutely no problem with your Majesty's idea.
The transmission speed of electromagnetic waves is very fast. We have not yet measured the speed of electromagnetic waves, but it is certainly far beyond our imagination.
Even from Beijing to Hangzhou, such a long distance can be reached instantly.
The current speed at which the imperial ships are traveling has no effect at all on electromagnetic waves.
As long as the ship has a place to set up an antenna, it can use wireless telegraphy normally."
After Emperor Su He heard this, his expression did not change much. This was something he had already known, just to tell the ministers present.
He praised: "The wireless telegraphy technology invented by Mr. May is extremely important to the empire.
Mr. Mei will have a place in next year's Dragon Award.
The imperial court's award for this technology will later be awarded to Mr. Mei.
I will first reward you with a thousand taels of gold to thank Mr. Mei for your technical contribution."
After Mei Hongyun heard this, he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi received the emperor's signal and took Mei Hongyun down to receive the reward.
Emperor Su He looked at the ministers in the Qianqing Palace. They had understood the effects of wireless telegraphy technology and now they should talk about business.
