Chapter 663: Wireless Telegraphy

After a barely four-day stay in the port of Colombo, the huge fleet of ships began to set sail under the repeated urging of the British governor stationed in the port of Colombo, and after deciding to leave, the British side not only sent enough supplies, but also sent a large number of fresh ingredients and local specialties, and the attitude was completely different from before.

A huge fleet of hundreds of cargo ships of all kinds, continuing to the east, the choppy waves, hitting the hull, bringing bursts of shaking, Yang Yuanzhao sat calmly in the cabin, looking at the waves that kept rising outside, slightly stunned, at this moment, he could not see the slightest sign of illness, in his eyes, the essence kept flashing.

The attitude of the British, obviously, is problematic, and more and more pirates seem to represent some kind of sign, although he believes that these powers will not take direct action, and the northwest has not offended them to that kind of Cheng dù, but he has to guard against it, in case they are ruthless, the great powers, who can achieve today's Cheng dù, that is not with blood on their hands, they are all in the midst of countless battles and competition of the law of the jungle, and they will definitely dare to attack at a critical moment.

The task force left the fleet, it has been about 7 days, from the place of departure to the port of Colombo, 3 days, and finally stayed in the port of Colombo for 4 days, which is already the maximum, but the long-term docking is not good, there are other methods, the speed is reduced by about 2 knots because of Yang Yuanzhao's private actions, from the original 10 knots, reduced to 8 knots, not can not be lowered, in this fleet, not the seafarers in the northwest, under the many mouths, many hands and feet are inconvenient to move, It's really troublesome to be found by others.

Yang Yuanzhao was not in vain in the 2 days after going to sea, the destroyers of Britain and Germany were all on the periphery, and in the interior of the fleet, he could do actions, with the help of the liaison fleet, and the other four parts were contacted, at least the radio was deployed, a total of 12 large radio transceivers were arranged on the 12 largest ships, all over each ship group.

Northwest radio, leading the whole world, because of Truss's storage, has made great progress, but unfortunately there is no way to add transistors and large-scale integrated circuits for the time being, this radio machine, and other radios in the world, there is not much difference, Yang Yuanzhao of later generations is not a radio enthusiast, at most there is a multi-functional walkie-talkie, the range is extremely small, without the storage of the base station, it is impossible to play a role.

Yang Yuanzhao believes that Truss's genius and his transistors and integrated circuits will definitely make radio truly practical, and even make a radio transmitter that can really be used in combat at the level of World War II.

It's a pity that Yang Yuanzhao still doesn't dare, there are things that he can take out casually, such as the comparative steam turbine developed in this era, all kinds of new materials, this is no problem, and even some materials in later generations can also be used, which are not easy to see through and imitate. The epoch-making things such as transistors and integrated circuits are still inconvenient to take out for the time being, and the background of the northwest is still too poor, and even basic researchers can't get together, and the benefits of taking out these things are limited, and once they are discovered by the great powers, the biggest advantage will be gone.

The electronics industry is the focus of the development of the whole world in the mid-to-late 20th century and the early 21st century, based on the development of this field, changed the whole world, the first industry with the steam engine as the main body, China is still the feudal and backward Qing Dynasty, the second industry ** is electrical**, also from 1870, Germany, the United States and Japan, which is equivalent to taking the last train, the northwest only started in 1908, although because of the anti-heaven effect of the all-in-one machine, it is considered to have laid the foundation of China's electrical, However, it can only be regarded as narrowing the gap, and it cannot be called catching up.

Even this time, the equipment related to the cutting-edge heavy industry obtained from Germany cannot be completely electrified, some of the top, the cutting-edge research in the real room, Yang Yuanzhao can not obtain, some of the top equipment, he can not come into contact, he does this, just to consolidate China's foundation as much as possible, so that China has a full range of categories, all projects of the industrial base.

The second industrial ** can only catch up, can not surpass, then this crucial third **, Northwest and China must not miss, to be a pioneer identity, 20 years ahead of other countries, or even 30 years into and research, according to the standards of later generations, the third ** is to atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology and biological engineering inventions and applications as the main symbol, involving information technology, new energy technology, new material technology, biotechnology, An information control technology in many fields such as space technology and marine technology**. Different from the previous two, the aspect and depth of the design are far greater than the previous two, and the impact and change on the country and the economy are also extremely far-reaching.

All-in-one machine and crossing, the Northwest has a stepping stone into this field, basic atomic energy and electronic computers, has come to the forefront, the all-in-one machine can not separate isotopes, but can solve the problem of purification of nuclear materials, plus the method widely known in later generations, to achieve weapon-level radioactive (sexual) elements, must be concentrated to reach the concentration, concentration of this thing, heavy water plant and centrifuge, this is all known to everyone in later generations, which reduces a lot of detours, nothing more than energy consumption, The United States spends a lot of money on nuclear weapons, with a peak of more than 540,000 people, $2.5 billion, plus enough electricity to account for half of the entire electricity generation in the United States.

It can be said that energy is the key to separating and enriching weapons-grade raw materials, without which any action is futile. During World War II, Germany did not develop nuclear (weapon) weapons, on the one hand, because of the fault line and wrong direction of scientific development, and on the other hand, it was not that Germany belonged to the war zone, and energy could not be guaranteed at all.

Northwest may be in the field of electrical science and technology cutting-edge, can not be called the world's top, but in the sea of tactics and energy, absolutely called the world's first, from Truss to the northwest, alternating current has become the standard configuration of the northwest, in other countries when DC, AC convenience and easy to transport characteristics, it has become the biggest advantage of the northwest, plus extraordinary production capacity, the northwest in the field of power production and installation capacity, is the world's first.

From the first power plant, to the present, the installed capacity has surpassed Japan, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, close to Germany, and even when the end of this year, the 12 largest thermal power units will be completed in the 12 most important cities in the northwest, when the time comes, the total amount of power engine assembly in the northwest will be 1.8 times that of before, in terms of electricity, officially surpassing Germany, second only to the United States.

Nuclear energy is a development direction in the future, and electronics and computers are all the electronic products brought from the 21st century, except for a small part, such as calculators, electronic watches, etc., are taken out for some of the computing fields, and the other part is used in the military field as an accurate timing device, and the rest are all kept secret and not revealed at all.

These large radio transceivers that Yang Yuanzhao took out were not Northwest or military. The basic principles of radio, especially some of the construction, through guò Truss, Yang Yuanzhao here is a clear article, understand the role of the things, especially in some amplifiers and transceivers suitable for the use of transistors and integrated circuits, he also specifically followed Truss to discuss, it is these superficial knowledge and the powerful role of transistors and integrated circuits that Yang Yuanzhao reluctantly came up with some weird-looking radio transceivers, which can basically reach a range of 800 kilometers, and if you are in a higher position, the range will also increase.

These things are just interests, at most a test of their own ability, but I didn't expect that at this moment, 800 kilometers, can not envelop the entire Strait of Malacca, the entire strait is 1080 kilometers long, but when you have not entered the Strait of Malacca, you can contact the office in Kuala Lumpur.

In this era, when most people still rely on wired telegraphy, wireless telegraphy, especially powerful wireless telegraphy, is enough to combine the forces of several places together, which is one of the biggest advantages of the northwest.

Yang Yuanzhao slowly stood up and walked to another room, this was once the special class cabin on the cruise ship, and it was also the largest housing, Yang Yuanzhao himself was not going to live here, but Fabian and others thought that Yang Yuanzhao was the most noble on the entire ship, and he had to live here, otherwise none of them would live, so he lived, and now this place has been converted into an information room, and all the transceivers are placed here.

The 12 radio officers, which is all that has been put together so far, include 7 graduates of the military academy, who have learned to send and receive some radios in the military academy, and have also been driven to the shelves, and among the others, only 4 are professional telegraph operators.

The entire fleet, in the end, only 20 telegraphers, the other 4 fleet parts, also left 2 each, they are in a turnstile channel, can contact others at any time, can be in a short time, clearly know the movement between several fleets.

Of the 12 radios, 4 of them wanted to communicate with the other fleets, and the remaining 8 were all on the Kuala Lumpur radio band. The distance of 800 kilometers is a theoretical distance, there is not much shelter on the sea surface, and the location of the antenna is also located at the highest point of the entire cruise ship, almost about 30 meters, but the wind and waves at sea are very large, and there are many things that block electromagnetic waves.

Since yesterday, he has been calling non-stop, but unfortunately there has been no result, Yang Yuanzhao knows that he is not in a hurry, so he can only wait patiently, but the time is getting closer and closer, even if it is him, he can't help but be deserted, there is only more than a day to go, what is the situation in Malacca.

"There's a signal!" Suddenly, a signalman suddenly said excitedly, the loud sound alarmed the people in the room, and also alarmed Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao walked over in three steps and two steps, wanting to see what the signal was for the first time. R1152
