838 Chopin

Xiao Fei claimed that this was his second-generation radio communication equipment after the 58-type 1 machine---- codenamed "Shunfeng Ear", compared with the spark plug transceiver system in the past, the "Shunfeng Ear" system has been upgraded to an all-round radio station integrating short, medium and long wave bands.

A few days ago, he used the "Shunfeng Ear" to directly contact Macao, and the signal was very good, and the effect was outstanding, of course, the radio communication environment in this era is very good, and the weather is also good to have such an effect.

It's just that the volume of the "tailwind ear" is still a little larger---- the main body is as big as the big freezer in the kitchen, which does not include the power supply and antenna part, and it is said that the harmonics are still very wide, once turned on, in fact, there is no essential difference with turning on the radio.

Despite all these shortcomings, after the completion of this equipment, the people in the Red Chamber are very excited, because from now on, everyone will really bid farewell to the spark plug telegraph stage, and there will be a variety of short-wave and medium-wave radios of medium and short distances in the future, so that our radio communication technology will step onto a new level.

Moreover, although such radio equipment is a bit bulky, but if it is only used on ships, this weight is not a matter at all, and it is completely possible to build a fixed base station on land---- as far as the current conditions are concerned, the weight of the whole system including antennas and power generation equipment is only about two or three tons? For the ships with a displacement of 1,000 tons that we will build in the future, this weight is completely negligible.

The key advantage of this device is that the communication distance is long enough---- the communication distance of the "downwind ear" is actually more than 3,000 kilometers! It is said that Xiao Fei's inspiration for creating this device came from his childhood playing with an electric fish machine in the countryside---- and the coupling of the electric fish machine and antenna is the basic principle of this set of radio communication equipment.

At this moment, Xiao Fei was concentrating on winding a set of coils, when a large tin box next to him sounded a jingling bell, Xiao Fei looked up and saw that ---- intercom was ringing.

This intercom is also the second masterpiece that Xiao Fei has made at home, and it is an upgraded version of the previous "public channel intercom", which already has a bit of a phone taste.

This is everyone's comment, the so-called intercom, in fact, is a wired walkie-talkie, now Kangda Wang Zhanwu where they put the telephone pole, Xiao Fei's telephone line will go to where, and it is a universal transmission line and telephone line.

When Xiao Fei proposed this plan, he was shocked by everyone, and they all said that once he picked up the phone, he wouldn't give high-voltage electricity?

Of course, it turned out that Xiao Fei was the right and economical way to use the power line to make a phone call - no one was electrocuted by high voltage, and it was very safe.

Xiao Fei insisted that the set of intercom equipment he made was called "intercom", not "telephone", because it was too different from the old-world wired telephone in terms of appearance and function-indeed, this thing has neither a microphone handset, nor a dial pad or a button or the like, it is a collection of wired walkie-talkies---- there are several rows of hand-toggle switches on the tin box, and there are several power switches, a tube-like protrusion like a microphone is on the top of the box, and there are honor plates next to the manual toggle off switches, which reads: Red House Roof Telegraph Room, Red House Kitchen, Fourth Floor Conference Room, Red Wharf Slipway, Moon River Hydropower Station, Saifu Ranch, Vegetable Garden, White Beach United Chemical Industry, United Iron and Steel, Cement Factory, Brick and Tile Factory, Bamboo Garden, Sunflower......

Xiao Fei said that when he went to college, there was a similar equipment in the duty room of the student dormitory, of course, Xiao Fei made improvements, turning the one-way control of the intercom into a two-way control, and there is a special channel, not a speech is the kind of public broadcasting, in short, this set of equipment is already very high-end in the eyes of everyone, and it is well received by everyone.

Everyone was very satisfied to see that at least now everyone's communication on the island is completely free of roaring, and everyone knows that under the existing conditions, it is not easy for Xiao Fei to come up with any equipment that has anything to do with electronics.

However, Xiao Fei is still not satisfied, not long ago he promised everyone that as long as there are conditions, I will definitely make a real phone---- at present this thing really can't be called, for example, if you don't mess up, turn on all the switches, you can hear any other two sides of the call.

Of course, no one does this, seven or eight lines are talking at the same time, your ears will definitely not be able to stand it, but if someone really listens, then there is really no privacy at all---- of course, this problem is not a problem at all, and now there are no secrets between everyone, except for the private conversation of the two people, even if it is a private conversation between the two people, it doesn't matter, such as Yi Shanjing and Mi Anfei, a while ago, seafarers like Xiaomi were often sent to work outside the Red House as laborers after returning home, So during the break, the little couple often "made intercom porridge", saying all kinds of sweet words that caused 10,000 points of damage to the single dog, and the single dogs could hear it carelessly, so that later the single dogs collectively protested that the two were a little more restrained.

At this time, Xiao Fei looked at the small glass lamp flickering next to a switch, and found that it was a phone from the telegraph room on the roof, so he put down the work in his hand, pulled down the switch and asked: What's the matter?

Teacher, there is a telegram from Zixia Island, and the ordinary one is not rushed......

Oh, send it......

After Xiao Fei finished speaking, he turned off the intercom, got up lazily and walked to a cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a book, the cover read "Chinese Radical Table", which was a tool book that Xiao Fei temporarily used to make a code book----, and now there are three copies in each place of Zixia Island, Macau and Xin'an City---- if there is only one copy, I am afraid that it will be accidentally lost and cause communication difficulties.

A moment later, a teenager appeared at the door of Xiao Fei's workshop, dressed in a linen sky blue long-sleeved cardigan round-neck top, a pair of indigo trousers, a pair of black and white linen-soled cloth shoes, and a short haircut—a summer outfit for Zhuyuan students.

The boy's name is Chopin, that's right! It's called Chopin, which is the name Xiao Fei gave to this child.

Chopin was Xiao Fei's apprentice – since his wife, a mixed-race girl from a sunflower, became pregnant, he recruited a child to serve as his assistant.

Chopin was one of the first children to come to Mornington Island from an orphanage in Macau two years ago, when he was thirteen years old, but when he was thirteen years old, he only had a nickname - it is said that a husband who knocked on the streets of Macau at night found him on the side of the road as a baby, apparently the husband did not carry the child to the door of a large family nearby, because from the swaddling clothes, this child may be the evil seed of a large family, of course, he did not take it home and raise it himself, because he may not be able to afford it.

The kind-hearted husband sent the baby to a nearby church, and then the baby was sent to Ingres's mercy church, where a few years later the baby grew up.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Australians, the fate of the little Bangzi would probably have been to work as a shipboy for the captain of an ocean-going sailing ship, or to be a slave for a certain family, because this is probably the way out for children like him in the past.

However, even such a way out is a way to live.

However, if he hadn't met Dr. Dai Xiaoshan, he might have turned to ashes long ago, and he would not even have been able to survive - in the autumn and winter of that year, the anthrax plague that broke out in Macau found him, and fortunately, the "miracle doctor" from Nanyang Australia saved his life.

At that time, because there were more than 20 of them in the orphanage, he was the first to be sent to Australia by Mama Angels.
