Chapter 576: Building a Telegraph

The original principal of the Xingzhu Academy and the Xingzhu Workshop was Ding Chunqiu, who had retired at this time, and the academy was taken over by Xiang Yang, while the workshop was taken over by Yang Tai and Chief Engineer Yang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chief Engineer Yang was one of the first masters to join the Star Workshop, and when he first joined, he was in the Ninefold Realm, and after making a certain contribution to the workshop, Ji Yang rewarded him with three Blood Bodhi successively.

The Blood Bodhi is grown from the place where the fire qilin lives, and absorbs the fire aura of the lava lake and the excrement of the fire qilin all year round, and the fruit produced is also rich in fire aura. And most of the craftsmen such as Yang Taihe practiced fire exercises, so the blood Bodhi had a significant effect on them, and many craftsmen such as Yang Taihe broke through the shackles to reach the innate after taking the blood Bodhi, or their skills increased greatly.

Yang Taihe's family was originally a steel-making and cannon caster, with a total of more than 700 people, and the whole family joined the Xingzhu Workshop, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the workshop at the beginning.

Whether it is popularity or ability, Yang Taihe deserves it.

In addition to the Yang family, there are several families in the Xingzhu Workshop, two of which are said to be the Gong Loser and the Mo family. Gongyi and the Mo family have originally disappeared into the long river of history, and they can find their successors, firstly, because of good luck, and secondly, because the technology of the Star Workshop is very attractive to the two families.

There are also some families from all walks of life, including loom manufacturing, steelmaking and gun making, organ manufacturing, construction industry, gunpowder alchemy, etc., as many as 79 large and small artisan families gathered in the Star Workshop. They developed optics, medicine, biology, physics, mathematics, astronomy and geography, and so on.

The telescope is a more sophisticated optical instrument, and in addition to the telescope, the workshop has recently launched a new product - glasses. The optical instruments under development include microscopes, cameras, night vision devices, etc.

In order to ensure the safety of the Xingzhu Workshop, Ji Yang has transferred various research departments to the hinterland of the Central Plains, Wuhan, Xi'an, and Taiyuan. The finished product manufacturing department is still all over the place, such as cannon casting and shipbuilding, which is naturally convenient and close to the origin of raw materials.

The internal combustion engine research department of the Beijing Research Institute is a concrete and reinforced structure building, and the walls are painted with wood-colored paint, and from a distance, you think it is a wooden house.

The whole institute is like a landscape manor, built on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. At present, there are more than 80,000 people in the Beijing Research Institute, ranging from chief engineers to apprentices, who live and study here.

There are more than 100 research projects, and today Ji Yang came to the internal combustion engine research department.

In front of Ji Yang is a twelve-cylinder engine, rumbling is running, twelve cylinders use crankshaft connecting rods, from air intake to compression to explosion to exhaust repeatedly, driving a steel wheel to rotate at high speed. This engine uses gasoline, which is much more efficient than a steam engine, with fast speed and low oil smoke loss.

"Your Majesty, this is our latest gasoline internal combustion engine, which can run continuously for three days and has a service life of about five years, which has reached the power needs of the train. A few of us are working on a machine tool for engine building, and it may take a year, during which time we can build some gasoline engines by hand, replacing the trains, and the machines in the various important manufacturing workshops. "After Yang Taihe entered the innate realm, he was much younger than before, and now he looks like he is only in his forties.

With the help of some relatively simple processing tools, all the parts of an engine can be manually processed, how can it be more than five realms, and skilled craftsmen can do it. Manual processing is definitely slow, but it is enough for the current Central Plains.

There are very few craftsmen above the ninefold realm, but there are many craftsmen above the fivefold realm, because in the Gewu manufacturing subject of the Xingzhu Academy, in addition to professional knowledge, there is also a martial arts requirement of the fivefold realm.

There are more than 3,000 graduates in the first batch, all of whom are above the five-fold realm, plus the craftsmen that Ji Yang searched from all over the Central Plains, there are at least 300,000 people above the five-fold realm, and a few thousand people can be selected to make engines, which can meet the needs of all the workshops in the Central Plains.

At this time, the benefits of controlling the South Seas and the New World were seen, and no matter what materials were lacking, they could be transported from all over the world. Many materials, such as rubber, are not known to the West to be useful, and Jiyang has begun to buy them in large quantities and cheaply, and introduce tree species to grow them himself.

Rubber has many uses, and can be used to make tires, sealing rings, sealing strips, insulating plates, wire jackets, coils, etc., and is an indispensable material for industrialization.

"Very good, you have made indelible contributions to the industrialization of the Taihao Dynasty, in addition to the 100,000 taels of silver that I said before, I will reward you with another 100,000 taels of silver. Yang Taihe, who led the development of gasoline engines for meritorious service, was named a baron, and each was given a yin and yang charm. Ji Yang said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Tai and Gong drank a dry person, and knelt down gratefully.

Although Ji Yang has canceled the etiquette of kneeling and bowing to the monarchs and ministers, many people can't change it for a while. And Yang Tai and Gong Yi and others are not court officials, and they consider themselves grass people, because they take it for granted.

The purchasing power of 200,000 taels of silver, converted into about 120 million yuan, is not a small amount. And the title is even more rare, only military merits can get the title in the previous dynasty, and Ji Yang is an exception.

As for the yin-yang charm, it is a symbol of honor and status, and the holder of this charm can enter the palace for pilgrimage, and no matter what household registration can be treated as a scholar. The pilgrimage to the palace alone is enough to make countless people break their heads to fight for it, and there are only a handful of people who currently have yin and yang charms.

A group of craftsmen were knighted, gave yin and yang charms, and the officials who came with Ji Yang were red with envy. Especially the officials of the Ministry of Industry, whose status was very low in the past, never thought that craftsmen would be so valued.

"Don't be polite, remember to write a book on the manufacturing methods of all the parts of the gasoline engine, add them to the Moon Tower, and it is best to record the mistakes that occurred in your development process to warn future generations." Ji Yang said.

"The grass people obey." Yang Taihe and others were full of joy.

Mochizuki Tower is located in Leshan, not far from the Stars View, which is dedicated to storing military books, manufacturing books, business books and so on compiled by Ji Yang's subordinates. As long as you are a person from the Star Academy and the Star Workshop, you can enter the Moon Tower to read books.

Except for Wu Kun and Dong Wu, the other officials were all stunned when they heard this: This is going to be a book to be passed on!

If the title of money does not drive them crazy, the allure of writing books is definitely ten times greater than that of the title of money. After all, this is the emperor's decree to write a book, which means that this book will definitely become popular in the future and will be passed down through the ages.

The officials looked at Yang Taihe and Gong with the eyes like hungry wolves, and they were about to eat them.

"Your Majesty, we are all working for the country and the people, and doing things for the emperor, I hope that the Xingzhu Workshop can hand over these technologies to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, so that I can do my best." Zeng Zongcheng couldn't help but say, he finally got the opportunity to visit the research institute of the Xingzhu Workshop in Beijing through Xiang Yang.

Wu Kun's mind was mainly focused on the research of rune technology, and he didn't feel much about these "backward" technologies. Under his guidance, the Ministry of Industry has mastered a lot of advanced technology. As for the ordnance manufacturing technology of the Ministry of War, without Ji Yang's permission, Wu Kun could not teach it casually.

"Don't worry, since I brought you here to visit, I naturally won't be stingy with these techniques. I have only one request, not to divulge any technology, and those who violate it will be punished by the nine clans. After saying that, Ji Yang's expression became serious.

It is difficult to prevent leakage of some technologies that need to be popularized, but the posture must be sufficient, and it is necessary to show one's own position, lest these people do not take secrecy seriously.

"Your Majesty." Officials reacted quickly, and they accepted secrecy in their hearts.

――

Ji Yang's family came to Fujian from Zhejiang, first visited the local places of interest, and then came to the Governor's Palace. Bu Jingyun didn't expect Ji Yang to come, and was a little surprised, seeing that he was a private visit to Weifu, and treated him quietly as a master and apprentice.

"Master, please inside." The Governor's Mansion was built in Fujian, just across the sea from Wanwan, and through the navy and mercenaries stationed in Wanwan, the troops could be radiated to all parts of the South Seas.

"I just saw a telephone pole outside, and it looks like you've set up a telegraph here. How, is this telegram any good. Ji Yang said with a smile.

"Thousands of miles away, the news came in an instant." Bu Jingyun had almost no expression, and his eyes were quite expectant: "I used to worry that Nanyang was too wide and there were not enough troops, so I shouldn't worry about it in the future." When the submarine cable is connected, I can remotely control the garrisons in Ryukyu and Manchuka, and I will know what is happening in various places and give orders. ”

"It costs a lot of money to erect submarine cables, and I plan to build a few trunk lines in China first, and then expand to overseas control areas when the economy is more prosperous. As long as the two veins of the domestic governor are opened, the great changes of 3,000 years will really come. Ji Yang said.

Some advanced technologies, Ji Yang did not develop according to historical development, but according to demand, ordered Wu Kun to open them to the Xingzhu Workshop one by one. With the railway, how can there be no telegraph, after the information is smooth, Ji Yang can quickly receive news from all over the country and make decisions in time, which is more stable.

"With the speed of construction of the Nakshatra Workshop, it will only take three years at most, and I can afford to wait." Step Shocking Cloud Road.

"Three years is too long, and within a year, I will set up several main lines in China. Within three years, I will set up an undersea cable to connect the second vein of Rendu to all key points in the South Seas. Ji Yang said.

It is not difficult to let people who know martial arts do the work of setting up wires and complete Ji Yang's task. Just when the sect was restructured before, a lot of martial arts people who did not obey discipline were arrested and sent to work.

Cables are just lines, the most important thing is, of course, power plants, when Ji Yang was not yet emperor, after ten years of retreat, Wu Kun had already built hydroelectric and coal-fired power stations in China.

"How are you practicing your martial arts, can you practice the Great and Small Theravada Sword Technique and the Great Compassion Fu?" Ji Yang asked.

"The apprentice has already practiced the Great Compassion Fu, but the large and small multiplication sword techniques are too clever, and the apprentice has only practiced to the fifth sword realm, the tenth stage of sword qi." Step back to the clouds.

"With your qualifications, you haven't even practiced the Mahayana sword technique to the Mahayana, it seems that this sword technique is indeed very profound." Ji Yang had asked Excellence the same question before he came, and Excellence was even worse than Bu Jingyun, so he had only cultivated to the third sword realm, the sixth stage of sword qi.

"The sword realm and sword qi of the great and small multiplication sword method are connected, as long as you comprehend the sword realm, and then cultivate for a period of time, the sword qi will naturally improve. If one is used to represent the power of the first stage of sword qi, then the second stage of sword qi is two, the third stage of sword qi is four, the fourth stage is sixteen, and the fifth stage of sword qi is two hundred and fifty-six... The eighteenth stage of sword qi is that it can't be counted as a fugitive. "Step Shock.

"It's so powerful, I didn't expect that you would pass on the big and small multiplication sword technique to me." Ji Yang immediately became interested, and according to the statement of Shocking Clouds, wouldn't it be to fly to the sky if he practiced the big and small multiplication sword technique to the extreme.

"In vain obey." Bu Jingyun passed on his comprehension of the large and small multiplication swordsmanship to Ji Yang.

After getting Bu Jingyun's comprehension, Ji Yang nodded secretly, Bu Jingyun's statement was a bit exaggerated, after all, he had only cultivated to the fifth realm. In the back, there should be no such multiplication increase, but it is undeniable that the large and small multiplication swordsmanship is indeed a peerless science.

Because Ji Yang got too many peerless martial arts, he couldn't judge which martial arts was powerful just by looking at the content, so he didn't practice the Mahayana swordsmanship. However, after gaining the comprehension of Bu Jingyun and understanding the potential of the Great and Small Vehicles Sword Technique, Ji Yang naturally had to cultivate well.

"I've only heard the master pass on martial arts to apprentices, but I haven't seen apprentices pass on martial arts to masters." Li Qiushui covered his mouth and smiled, despising Ji Yang's unearned behavior.

"You don't understand this, how many peerless martial arts can I practice alone, and if I have to gather all the things that everyone has learned, I can save a lot of penance. After I have gathered a large number of martial arts secrets, I can combine them to create more powerful martial arts, and then I will pass them on to you when the time comes. Ji Yang said with a smile.

"The master is very clever in this move, no wonder you have given us all your martial arts." Bu Jingyun said.

"Dad, you have passed on so many peerless martial arts to others, but you haven't passed them on to me yet." Ji Hongyu said, he has only practiced one Five Qi Dynasty Yuan so far, but he has not practiced the fighting method.

"What martial arts do you want to practice?" Ji Yang asked.

"Just practice this big and small swordsmanship." Ji Hongyu listened to Bu Jingyun's explanation, and was also very interested in this sword technique.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to you." Ji Yang was not stingy, and passed the big and small multiplication swordsmanship to Ji Hongyu. As a result, Ji Hongyu's sword realm climbed steadily, and he soon became a master of swordsmanship. As for the sword qi, it is not a high sword realm, and it needs to be cultivated slowly.
