When the good news here reached Johor Bahru, Nam Feng was inspecting the intelligence department. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that the small intelligence processing room was crowded with black people. Except for Nan Feng and a few people who were sitting, the other staff members were all nervous and happy to stand aside.

But their eyes were fixed on the big black iron box on the table. Judging from the appearance, this iron box is similar to the hollow bricks used to make small western-style buildings in later generations. The whole body is pitch black, thick and ugly.

But their eyes were unusually focused, as if they were about to swallow an iron box into their stomachs.

Obviously not ordinary mortal!

It also shows that they are not nervous because of Nanfeng's arrival, nor are they happy because of Nanfeng's praise.

If you look closely, you will find a copper wire wrapped in a white leather ring, extending from the back of the iron box. Follow it, it will stretch all the way to a height of ten thousand feet. There was a kite with a balloon tied to it, with a metal component resembling an antenna stuck into it.

At this moment, Liao Qing was engrossed in debugging the rotary button of the iron box, and his movements were extremely cautious and careful. It seems to be taking care of a newborn baby, for fear of bumping into it.

The others didn't say a word, just watched him intently. It makes the small room very quiet.

It's no wonder they care so much, after all, this is the first radio equipment of the Ming Dynasty, which is of epoch-making significance. Even if it's too shabby, it doesn't look good. But it still can't hide its value.

Once put into practice, it first solves the communication problem of Daming. So that the islands, can keep in touch with Daming anytime and anywhere. It is also conducive to the Ming Dynasty, the control of various administrative provinces and overseas territories.

If you go into the military again, you can monitor the enemy's situation all the time. It not only saves manpower, but also makes the enemy unguardable. Because no one could have imagined that Da Ming's eyes would float in the sky.

However, this radio equipment is still experimental. And today, too, for the first time it works.

Whether you can receive the message from Mingjing is still a question mark.

So the people present had mixed feelings.

After all, it is an epoch-making product, and in this era, radio is a blank slate. Although among the traversers of the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of technical talents in the field of communications. But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! There are no hardware devices, and it is difficult to build them out of thin air.

But the current communication conditions are too rudimentary, and relying only on flying pigeons to pass on books is very risky. For example, the wanton hunting of birds in Southeast Asia greatly affected the connection between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam and other places.

So the Ming cabinet gritted its teeth and asked the Ming Academy of Sciences to concentrate on developing radio equipment that could communicate as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of Yuan Shishen, honorary minister and president of Daming Academy of Science, he devoted himself to research and sought breakthroughs. After dismantling several high-speed railways, the communication radios that came with the plane, and related communication equipment, two finished products were finally built.

Now that we are far away from the ocean, it is time to test the experimental results of the research institute.

As the head of the Academy of Science, Yuan Shishen was so nervous for the first time. Even when he crossed for the first time and strayed into Australia, his heart didn't beat as fast as he does now. plopping, as if if you are not careful, you will jump out of the body.

Beads of sweat continued to ooze from his hands, making his hands tremble when he was fiddling with the machine. The hair that hadn't been trimmed for a long time was also wet with sweat. The shiny oil is all slate.

Yang Chong, Mu Chun and others were also shocked when they saw Yuan Shigentry's unkempt appearance for the first time. It's the head of the first courtyard, and it's sloppy and sloppy like a flower child who asks for food, which makes people look at it and feel a little uncomfortable. But when they think about it, their hearts are sour again.

Because not only Yuan Shishen is this sloppy appearance, but also the peers who studied with him are also like this. There are several of them, and there is a strange smell of sour smell on their bodies. Apparently for several days, no shower.

Yang Chong and others praised them as heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

When the wall clock on the wall finally turned to Mingjing time, it was eleven o'clock in the morning. Yang Chong and the others instantly became nervous. The staff present also held their breath. Only Yuan Shishen trembled, and tapped a few times on the small keyboard connected to the machine.

Don't put your arms down until you finish typing the last 's' letter.

I saw that he looked as if he had just finished a 5,000-meter run, and he was sweating like rain. The whole person also sat down, and his whole body was weak.

The people present were all nervously waiting. All of them have expectations and worries. This complicated feeling is even more uncomfortable than walking on steel nails.

And in Johor Bahru, Nanfeng, Liao Qing and others, who were waiting for Ming Jing to send a message, were no better than Yang Chong. Especially when the clock turns past eleven o'clock, everyone is so nervous that they have to suffocate.

According to the agreement, the message will be sent on time at 11 o'clock. Therefore, the longer the time is delayed, the greater the chance of failure, and the more worried Nanfeng will be.

Many of the staff of the Intelligence Department could not help but express their disappointment. Although they were the natives of their time, it was the first time they had heard of and seen radio as a strange way of communication.

Before this, it was unheard of and unseen.

Now that you can witness the birth process of it, the mood is naturally indescribably exciting. But seeing that the clocks were turning to eleven o'clock, the big iron box still did not move.

Their faith was a little shaken.

And the clock is still ticking, no matter how much people hate its sound, it still goes its own way.

At this time, the large iron box, which had been forbidden to move until now, was like scrap metal, and finally there was the sound of ticking electricity. Liao Qing's face was overjoyed, and he immediately used pen and paper to record it.

The end result is an 's' letter!

This is exactly the same as the agreement that Mingjing said.

He didn't delay and immediately sent back an 'a'. He took off his headphones and said to everyone excitedly that the experiment was successful.

Nanfeng's habitual poker face was finally moved. The smile, so drunk that the female staff present couldn't help but commit a idiot. In vain, a joke was made.

History is indeed similar!

The successful scene of this experiment is so similar to the classic scene of the birth of radio in later generations.

Speaking of which, it was December 12, 1901, Marconi was in Newfoundland, in the southeast corner of Canada, setting up an antenna with balloons and kites, and received the international Morse code from Treasure Dou in the southwest corner of England.

When the ticking of electricity is heard, the simple letter 's' is heard. Marconi was also ecstatic!

Because it was the first time in history that mankind had crossed the Atlantic for radio communication. With facts, it has been proved to the world that radio is no longer a novelty limited to the laboratory.

The value of Daming's radio experiment is the same. (To be continued.) )
