Chapter 544: Engage in Submarines Again!
The radio telegraph that Eleanor brought is actually a product under development, but it is also quite good, and it can receive signals at a certain distance, which is quite good.
The point is that the appearance of this thing will change the world, and after Li Mengyang saw this thing, he immediately issued an order......
"We, the Pacific Rim Federation Empire, are going to build an undersea cable connecting the entire Pacific Ocean!"
Yes, he did such a thing!
Why?
Because there is really no such cable, it is really slow for everyone to transmit news now, and this matter will not benefit the people of my Pacific Rim Federation Empire.
But in fact, one of the main purposes is that Li Mengyang is going to hide this radio first.
Hey, yes, from Li Mengyang's knowledge of history, he got a very important point, that is, this radio, in the original history, in fact, should not be said to be the invention of a certain person!
Historically, the last thing is to admit that the inventor of the radio is Tesla, but this recognition is a later thing, and at first the United States Patent Office identified it as Marconi.
Why is this so?
Could it be that the U.S. Patent Office is more discriminatory against Tesla?
Of course, there is a lot of information that shows that it was Edison and the consortium behind him, Morgan, Carnegie, these guys did bad tricks. But there's one more caveat, though.
That is, maybe a few years later than Tesla, but in those years, in fact, a lot of people came up with this radio!
That's really the case. There are a lot of scientists in Europe and the United States who have done this. So what is the reason for this?
Li Mengyang has heard a point of view. He thinks this point of view is not bad, that is, the role of the individual will be slowly diminished in the invention of human beings, and in the future, in fact, the invention of human beings will not be the work of a single person, but a group or many people.
The basis for this view is: In fact, invention is not a single event, but a variety of events that affect each other, combine with each other, and finally be born of such a fruit!
In other words, it is not a single-line connection, but a multi-line connection, and if there are so many lines, of course, the production of this fruit is a variety of possibilities.
But that's not to ignore the role of people, you know. In the early days, inventors were very important. Because it was under their leadership that those groundbreaking things were born.
The importance of the individual still exists, but when the world moves forward and society develops, the connections between each other become richer and more numerous, and the result, that is, the invention, is naturally difficult to belong to a single person.
This is also why, Li Mengyang doesn't seem to remember what inventors were produced in his time, as if there were few new scientific achievements, as if there were few new inventions, but in that era, all kinds of fresh objects were endless, almost changing with each passing day.
So, the current matter, the radio made by Tesla, Li Mengyang can conclude that this is the latest invention in the world!
Yes, this is the result of a reversal, because the radio itself appeared earlier, and it was under its own influence that Tesla had such an invention, doesn't this explain the problem?
According to the normal time, it will not appear until a dozen years later, so it is very fortunate that Marconi and the other European inventors have not yet come up with this radio.
In this way, there is a sense of secrecy!
Anyway, Li Mengyang is still very happy in his heart, and ah, isn't his wife here?
This little farewell is better than a newlywed, let alone a farewell for so long......
If you want to say that Eleanor is not bad, although she forced Li Mengyang to pay the public grain, she is still very reasonable, she said, she will come for a month, and then she will go back, and then Fiona will come...... Well, yes, the four wives will come over month by month to 'see' him.
After Li Mengyang heard this, he felt in his heart......
As the emperor, he was forced by his four wives to pay public grain, is it really ...... I don't know when I will be able to turn over and sing a serf.
The great Emperor Li Mengyang has such a comic mentality, it is estimated that the secretary would never have thought of it, right?
It's a good day, but there's still something to do.
"Your Majesty! You see, this is the idea of the latest submarine drawn by the minister, please see...... Here, and here......"
"Well, that's good."
Although his wife is here, but he can't be the king is not early, Li Mengyang still has to do the right thing, on this day, there was a middle-aged man who brought a picture over, this person is not someone else, it is the Chen Daoist.
Well, the Japanese submarine before him had his share.
Well, just because of this, Chen Daoyuan was almost scared at that time, isn't this tantamount to collaborating with the enemy and treason?
So, I took the initiative to explain how I took that picture as a ...... In other words, he can't be blamed for this matter, so of course Li Mengyang is more generous.
And ah, is this a submarine good?
Why don't we look into it?
It should be said that there is research on the issue of submarines in the United States, and the current situation is that I heard that Europe is also engaged in it, and that a general in the United States, a former United States government, went to Europe to help the Europeans carry out this submarine project.
Obviously, people are nostalgic for their homeland, and they want to get this thing out and then deal with the current Pacific Rim Federation.
So, this is a threat, a competition, and our Pacific Rim Federation must get the submarine out first.
Of course, it can't be the kind of manpower thing that used to be, so how can that thing be reliable?
However, at the moment, the Pacific Federation is not here to study this thing, you know, although there was a record of submarine participation in the Civil War before, but that participation in the war was too tragic, and the small production team of the submarine was directly killed.
Or kill yourself yourself!
So, is this thing reliable?
That's what everyone in the land of America asks, and they're afraid of death.
So, in terms of materials, the United States still has it, but it is quite difficult to say who dares to really practice this thing.
But fortunately, here in the Pacific Ocean, here in China, there are people like Chen Daoyuan, but ......
The industrial capacity of the former Qing Dynasty is too poor, it should be said that what kind of Westernization movement was there before, and there was no use for it, really!
There is no industry developed at all, these telegrams and whatnot, all rely on imports, what was the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which was smashed by the French.
Actually, it is precisely because of this that Li Mengyang can get the big position so smoothly, but but, at the moment, in this industrial base, do you want to develop submarines?
Why did that Chen Daoist take that picture as a discard?
To put it bluntly, at most, I can only imagine it, design it, and then simply get some iron, steel, and put it together......
No way, at the beginning, in this land of China, the output of steel was pitiful, let alone the quality.
So now...... This steel industry has just developed!
In fact, what kind of industry is the steel industry?
Industry is inseparable, this industry is too important, and there is a key point in this industry, that is, it has to get out of the water, there must be coal mines, there must be iron mines...... To put it simply, this is an industry that a country must support, otherwise you can't get it!
Let's put it this way, just give such a piece of land, which is very close to water, coal mines, and iron mines, to iron and steel enterprises, and this is support, and the policy is tilted.
Li Mengyang is really vigorously supporting the steel industry now, but the problem is that it is not so fast!
What to do?
Li Mengyang suddenly thought of a good idea!
We don't have a lot of steel here, but there is a place where the steel industry is not bad, isn't it the first in Asia?
That's right, it's the 11th district now!
Because of the steel in Zone 11, although the quality of the steel they produce, those models are also average, but now, it can only be made do.
"Hey! Hi! We will definitely guarantee to complete the task assigned by His Majesty! ”
When Ito Hirobumi was recruited, he saw His Majesty Emperor Li Mengyang, and this guy burst into tears, he was really emotional, really.
How much is true, Li Mengyang doesn't know, but now Ito Hirobumi can only obey his orders for the sake of his Yamato nation, and there is no second choice, not to mention, this is a good opportunity for industrial development.
Saying...... Li Mengyang finished this matter, and he liked to see the imperial capital very much, because in later generations, the haze of the imperial capital is quite ruthless.
So if you are doing this now, you will get heavy industry into part of District 11, which can be regarded as a contribution to environmental protection, right?
Well, this mentality, the clerk is absolutely impossible to know.
As for the initial shell shape, of course, it was done by Li Mengyang, the master of abstraction, and then Chen Daoyuan changed it...... It's basically a big change.
And now, the submarine we want to make is not the kind of pedaling thing, we are going to use a large, very large, and very powerful submarine!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will definitely serve the dead!" Chen Daoyuan is out of the way.
So, the Pacific Rim Federation and Europe, who can make the real submarine first, there is now a situation of competition, and at the moment in Europe, there are some things happening there, this matter is not small. (To be continued.) )
