Chapter 35: News of the Grass Mud Horse

After the New Year, with the arrival of the upcoming Second Trade, there is less and less time left for Amy.

Amy, when will your telegraph come out.

Amy Telephone, when do you have it.

Amy, when will you be able to build the radio station?

It's Amy's routine, and she hears similar greetings several times a day.

As the only graduate of the Ministry of Electronic Communications Engineering in the Transit Circle, she was honored and honored to be appointed by the Executive Committee as the Minister of Communications to study and build the telegraph and radio station needed for the current base.

Originally, several bigwigs did not attach much importance to the telegraph, but since foreign trade, and the establishment of an embassy in Batavia, the importance of the telegraph has also increased.

In the Manchester City base, where there is no equipment and no related accessories, it is difficult to get a telegraph out of it, and Amy, a girl in her twenties, scratched a lot of hair for this matter, and she looked a lot more haggard.

Working late every day, just to solve the telegraph matter as soon as possible, but in this way, she was ridiculed by many people who did not understand, and even sometimes she had made up her mind to give up her current job, who likes to do it. It's so easy to get something out, do those scientists still need to experiment hundreds of times?

Although there are complaints and small tempers, every time I see Zhou Lao, I say in a serious tone: Xiao Ai, work hard, half of everyone's safety is on your shoulders.

Well, through Amy's unremitting efforts, with the help of Lin Youde and others, she finally got the first telegraph in Australian history.

In fact, if you want to say that the difficulty of making a radio transmitter is not big or small, the key is in the material, if you say that you want to play with a small DIY transmitter that receives radio signals in the range of a few meters or more than ten meters, it is too simple, as long as you get two walkie-talkies to disassemble it and modify it, it is estimated that many people who are not majoring in electronic communications will be estimated to be, because this has been learned in physics in junior high school.

But the key is that the executive committee does not want this, obviously to receive the range of more than 100 kilometers of the transmitter, this kind of difficulty is a bit bigger, in addition to the need for the corresponding wires and circuit boards but also to solve the transmitter's own energy problem.

In Amy's memory, the kind of large transmitter either uses a dry battery or a small hand-cranked generator device brought by itself, and the dry battery Manchester City base does not have it, so it can only be hand-cranked, and the hand-cranked one is not easy to make, which also involves voltage stabilizing devices, etc., but in the end, with the efforts of many people, I finally reluctantly made a transmitter.

"Forestry workers, according to the eighteen-watt power receiving distance of this transmitter is about 500 kilometers, if we want to reach the communication between Manchester City and Batavia, we also need to establish a relay station in this sea area."

Amy pointed to a rough-looking transmitter that resembled the Anti-Japanese War.

"Well, that's right, there should be such a thing that should be able to block the mouths of those guys, as for the establishment of the relay station, that's the matter of the executive committee, by the way, I'll tell you a piece of news, haven't you always wondered why the bigwigs suddenly paid attention to the transmitter, all of this is to blame Liu Yun, it is said that when the foreign trade team returned to the flight, he deliberately explained that he wanted to get the telegraph out as soon as possible." Lin Youde said with a wicked smile what Liu Yun told Hu Xijing.

"Damn Liu Yun, I remember you, my hair is about to fall out for him." Amy cursed the guy who always had a harmless smile on his face in his memory.

"Hello, hello."

"Did you catch a cold?" Liu Yun, who was far away on the construction site in Batavia and urging the workers to work, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

As the head of residency in Batavia. In addition to recruiting some seedlings that he is optimistic about to train as agents and establishing a Badawei ** newspaper network, Liu Yun's daily work is no different from that of the other few guys left behind, who are responsible for supervising the work of these Ming Dynasty and natives.

The construction progress of the embassy area is not too fast or slow, the overall external wall has been built, and the foundation of the main building area is almost laid, just waiting for the corresponding reinforced concrete to be transported by the Sea Blue during the second trade to carry out the construction of the whole building.

In addition to this, Liu Yun is very comfortable in Batavia, and he is invited to dinner by local wealthy and foreign businessmen every day, hoping to get more Australian goods trading rights from him.

Of course, Liu Yun will always have various reasons to say that he is not actually responsible for this matter, and he can tell them something like that. For a spy leader, there is an interest group standing behind these powerful people, and getting close to them can not only get the information they want, but also hear a lot of lace news, how interesting is it, isn't it?

"Respect Yun, isn't it boring for you to be in charge of supervising the construction site every day? Can't you leave these things to the people below you to do, do you have to do it yourself? John, the representative of the British East India Company, who was very familiar with Liu Yun, walked towards Liu Yun.

"John, why are you here, this is not the place you should be, see no, there is dust and mud everywhere, I don't want your dress to stain me I advise you not to come before this is built."

In fact, Liu Yun just didn't want the other party to find out that something was wrong here, the construction of the embassy area should not be repaired according to the ordinary construction of buildings, some places have specially built hidden forts and basements, these are not known to people, in a sense, John is also a spy, Liu Yun of course does not want the other party to know too much.

"Hi my friend, I have good news for you."

"Good news, is it because you British broke through the Dutch suppression in North America, or did your civil war stop?" Liu Yun jokingly pinched.

"No, no, it's neither, this news is about you, there is news about the white alpaca you entrusted me to help you find."

"Alpaca," Liu Yun looked stunned, and then thought that he entrusted this guy to find grass and mud horses, this species from South America, not only the appearance of cute, but also the fashion made of its fur is also a high-end goods of great economic value, each alpaca can produce 3~5 kg of fluff a year, shearing once a year, its economic value is quite high.

Australia's vast and sparsely populated land is very suitable for grazing, and in addition to the fact that Australia originally had a country riding on the back of sheep, its developed sheep industry is world-famous, and has been the lifeblood of the country's agricultural development for many years.

In addition to the introduction of grass and mud horses, merino sheep are also in the plan of Liu Yun and others, these are all good things.

"I got accurate information from the Spaniards in Luzon, they have seen this species you mentioned, and if you want, I can get it for you, but it will take some time." John squinted his eyes and said seriously.

"Oh yes, that's good news, and to thank you for the good news you've brought me, I'm going to ask you for a drink tonight."
