Chapter Forty-Eight: Helen Becomes Pregnant

Three months later, it was May 1894.

Nanyang Seris, Sizhejiang Army Military Academy, in a teaching building

"Dear Chen, is this what you told us about a telegraph that doesn't need to be connected to a line?" A few Germans were amazed at the strange machines in front of them.

"Yes, I will turn it into a wireless telegraph machine" Under the operation of the personnel of the Ministry of Security around him with a smile, Chen Zeyu gave them a little demonstration, "At present, it is possible to achieve relatively stable communication within 300 kilometers, and if a relay station is built, the distance can be even farther." ”

"Oh, it's incredible!" "This is impossible, how can a telegram be sent without copper wire?!"

Although several former German military officers and gentlemen had some knowledge of the long-standing theories of radio waves such as Hertz, Oster, and others, they were still very shocked after seeing the real thing in front of them.

Under Chen Zeyu's demonstration, the three of them successively sent and received a large number of "greeting" messages from each other in the distance, which can be regarded as suppressing their excitement.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh! You've turned Mr. Oster's theory into reality! ”

Chen Zeyu didn't mind that the Germans would apply this technology sooner, and even if he didn't come up with it today, Europeans would gradually popularize radio in a few years.

When the time comes, won't it be a "chicken and egg fight", and maximizing the use of the resources in his hands has gradually become an instinct of Chen Zeyu.

Besides, what he took out was only the roughest radio technology he had at hand, and Chen Zeyu was not distressed.

During this time, Chen Zeyu personally took the time to "improve" the previous wireless telegraph, and this time he took out the "results" just ahead of the Italian scientist Marconi, and applied for patents for this "quite advanced" wireless telegraph machine and its corresponding technology all over the world.

It's just that compared with the various types of standard radio communication equipment that have begun to be equipped in the army of the Republic, these wireless telegraphs in front of them can really be called "huge and simple".

Of course, Chen Zeyu could not expose the black technology such as Seris's electron tube so early, and he "invented" the original spark high-power telegraph according to the earliest practical telegraph principle.

The circuit tubes that had been used in the machine for a long time were replaced by old-fashioned thick iron cores and coils, and this kind of Chen's EDM wireless telegraph machine, which was quite a copycat style of later generations, was born.

In addition to being much larger than a telegraph with a circuit tube, it was also very slow to send telegrams due to its rudimentary design. In addition, the instability of power and structure also makes the transmission distance of the whole transmitter extremely limited, the electric spark wireless telegraphy machine in front of it is already good in terms of power, but the transmission distance is only about 300 kilometers without the help of the relay station.

Even so, such a machine is enough to calm the current Europeans.

"Karl Mark, as well as Jürgen and Similien, you have made great contributions to my country and my nation in the past six years."

Chen Zeyu looked at the three former German officers who were about to leave Seris, and felt a little reluctant in his heart.

"I don't have anything to thank you for, these radio transmitters that my country has 'just developed' can be regarded as a little thank you from me."

Although the machine is "specially designed" and is far from being widely available in military terms in terms of its current volume and mass, it is still feasible to equip the headquarters of large units and combat groups of the armed forces with one. In addition, these EDM wireless telegraphs, which have a communication distance of hundreds of kilometers, are also valuable enough to equip every warship of the navy.

In fact, these three Germans were more or less exposed to some things in radio professional courses in military schools. Chen Zeyu gave them these "valuable" wireless telegraph machines, which not only revealed their doubts, but also allowed them to return to China to have a step forward.

While the three of them were pleasantly surprised, they probably couldn't imagine how elaborate the individual radio communication equipment that had begun to be equipped in the army of the Republic was......

After seeing off three German friends, Chen Zeyu received another piece of news that surprised him.

On May 3, Chen Zeyu, accompanied by his entourage, took a carriage back to his home in Sizhejiang -

"Young Master, I'm back!"

"Young Master!" "Young Master! ——”

Although he has become the leader of a country and has already formed another family, Chen Zeyu still finds time to return to Sizhe's home from time to time, but he didn't expect that after just a few months, he would add another person to his family.

"Oh, dear Ben, welcome home."

As soon as I got home and entered the door, I saw Helen, who had a big belly, carrying two feeding bottles and feeding a few barking puppies.

"Don't... Don't move, you wait, I'll come. Chen Zeyu hurriedly took over the things in Helen's hands and asked the maid to help her sit down.

Chen Zeyu couldn't believe that his aunt Helen. Kath was pregnant when she was in her forties, but the sight never deceived her.

Helen walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down with the help of the maid, "It's okay, it's only been more than 3 months, and the doctor said that you can move properly every day at this time." ”

The few puppies that were laughing were the offspring of the two purebred husky puppies that Chen Zeyu had brought.

After feeding the puppies and letting the maid drive them aside, Chen Zeyu asked, "Aunt Helen, what about my uncle?" ”

Helen shook her head and pouted upstairs, Chen Zeyu didn't know why, so he had to quietly go upstairs according to her instructions, and before he reached the study, he heard a low cry from inside.

Hearing his uncle's comfort, Chen Zeyu pushed the door and walked in, "Uncle! ”

It didn't seem that the situation was right, and Chen Zeyu didn't say any words of congratulations.

"It's Hanyin back, sit down" Uncle saw Chen Zeyu come in, as if relieved.

The original crying sound suddenly stopped, only the forcibly suppressed choking sound remained, and a girl in red makeup was looking at Chen Zeyu who walked in in surprise.

"It's Ah Fen, what's wrong?"

The young woman's name is Chen Cuifen, who is the orphan left by Chen Zeyu's young uncle Chen Yankai, who is his cousin.

Since the day she was taken to Nanyang a few years ago, she was usually regarded by her uncle and aunt as a pearl in the palm of her hand, but then somehow she was tired of being with Chen Zeyu's beloved wife Wu Xiatong all day long.

A few days ago, Chen Zeyu was still puzzled why he couldn't see this sister for a few days, but he didn't expect to go back to Zhejiang, and he didn't know why she was so sad today when he saw the scene in front of him.

Chen Zeyu looked at this sister and didn't mean to confide in him, so he had to look at his uncle Chen Yanyu suspiciously.

"Hey~, it's not that Sun Wen yet!"

Uncle said angrily, "I obviously already have a family in my hometown, and I came to provoke our family's Ah Fen." ”

"What!" Chen Zeyu was quite angry, "Sun Wen, he ate leopard gall and dared to tease my cousin, didn't he dare to kill me?!" ”

"No... didn't flirt" Chen Cuifen, who was just crying on one side, finally spoke.

"It's me who likes him."

"Then what do you want to do with him, be his lover? is still a concubine, but our country does not allow polygamy. ”

Chen Zeyu glanced at her, thought about it and asked,

"You didn't take advantage of him, did you?"

"Cousin~, what are you talking about?" Chen Cuifen was angry by her brother's words, but this tone made Chen Zeyu breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Zeyu knew Sun Wen as a person, and later generations discussed his style in his personal life and the like.

In addition to the original partner in Guangdong in the early years and the later Ms. Song Qling, there are two young daughters waiting for him in Japan, one of whom even has a marriage contract with him, and many people in later generations feel that he is a LL controller.

Chen Zeyu, who didn't want his cousin to also fall into it, decisively decided to intervene, "Okay, now that you know, don't deal with him in the future." ”

Chen Cuifen stared at her knees blankly and didn't speak.

……

"There are so many excellent boys around me, brother," Chen Zeyu knew that she still couldn't think about it, and deliberately quipped, "I'll see that in two days, I'll send a young man from a regiment to come over and choose for you." ”

These words frightened Chen Zeyu's cousin, and she covered her pretty face that was red and ran out of the room.
