Four-three-eight top-secret twist

Beijing. 【 I want: super fast update 】

In the confidential conference room of the pentagonal Ministry of National Defense Building, Tan Fushun, dressed in a white coat, and several assistants connected a suitcase-sized machine to the radio telegraph, and then carefully adjusted the telegraph.

Li Mo smiled slightly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the young researcher of the Institute of Electricity, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we're just coming to see, if you're worried, I'll go out first." ”

"Your Majesty, I have confidence." Tan Fushun took the handkerchief excitedly and nodded vigorously.

"Alright, let's get started."

Under Li Mo's words of encouragement, Tan Fushun began to fiddle with the big box, and after pulling out a downward curved pointer with ink drip irrigation, he made a gesture to his companion.

With his movements, not only Li Mo, but even Li Enfu and Chen Ping behind him were also wide-eyed, and Le Fei, who had just been transferred back, was so curious that he almost wanted to squeeze to the front to see it clearly.

With the familiar ticking sound of the telegraph, the pointer with the dropper suddenly swayed disorderly under the gaze of everyone, constantly shuttling back and forth on the white paper below, bringing out black dots one after another.

As the minutes passed, the hands swayed more and more, and everyone was surprised to find that with the tiny ink droplets in the pointers, half of the portrait suddenly jumped out of the paper.

The sound of Titicaca machinery was incessant, and the hands were swinging more and more, and everyone held their breath.

In the corner, the minute hand of the floor clock walked by one grid, and Tan Fushun at this time even forgot that he was being watched by so many big people, and the swing of the pointer of the observer with all his heart didn't even notice that Li Mo walked a few steps.

It was a long twenty minutes, but it was also an epoch-making twenty minutes, and when the telegraph stopped ringing and the hands stopped after twenty minutes, a vivid image of the Jinghai-class light patrol suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.

At the same time, Zhang Zuolin appeared at the door and reported: "Report, the research institute said that it was a Jinghai-level sketch. ”

In fact, there is no need to report, Chen Ping has already taken the drawings in surprise, Li Enfu opened his mouth wide, Yan Fu almost wanted to pounce into the machine with glasses, and even Li Mo couldn't help but be secretly stunned.

electrograph

Yes, it's a fax machine

Using radio, the world's first long-distance fax system was created using a working principle similar to that of later dot matrix printers.

"God" Long Guozhang grabbed the drawings, looked at the portrait of the Jinghai-level light patrol, and shouted: "Xiao Tan, you are too useful for this thing."

"Yes, then we don't need to rely on photos, just go abroad and draw the samples of those warships, and then we can send them back for reference." Yan Fu's face was also flushed with excitement.

However, Li Enfu nodded approvingly and asked, "Talking about researchers, how far is this big distance?" ”

"Prime Minister, you might as well tell me to talk." Li Enfu called it like this, which flattered Tan Fushun, and hurriedly replied: "This is not limited to distance, nor is it limited to the type of radio transmitter, as long as it can receive a signal, theoretically any telegraph can be transmitted." ”

"So, if such a machine is installed on a warship, you can just take a picture and send it back?" Le Fei's eyes lit up, this is too useful, if the patrolling warship can send what it sees to the headquarters at any time in this way, wouldn't it allow commanders at all levels to make intuitive decisions?

"Photos aren't up yet, we're working on them too." Speaking of his own research, Tan Fushun is a completely different person, and said eloquently: "The main thing is that the transmitter can't depict the photos yet, but we are already researching, and there are some breakthroughs." ”

Just when Tan Fushun introduced his invention to so many important people, Li Mo's heart swelled with ecstasy, what made him happy was not the world's first mechanical fax machine in front of him, but the ordinary researcher who had cultivated himself and returned from studying in the United States, he saw a kind of hope

In fact, according to history, the first edition featured a facsimile photograph of Edward VII in Paris, which took 12 minutes to radio fax from Paris to the city of London. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Although several extremely important radio researchers, including Marconi and Fleming, were involved in the operation ten years ago, which greatly delayed the emergence of radio, making radio a powerful weapon for China, and at the same time, allowing Li Mo to occupy the commanding heights of the world in this regard.

However, with the sale of the first generation of radio technology, this epoch-making technology will inevitably lead to increased investment in various countries, Li Mo is naturally not willing to lag behind, and Tan Fushun, who went from international students to ordinary assistants in electromagnetic laboratories, and then to Chinese young people who applied for funds to start a research laboratory, began to gradually expand this advantage.

Importantly, the continuous emergence of these generations of researchers indicates that the country has begun to embark on the path of scientific and technological innovation, although it is still weak compared to foreign countries, but it represents a huge transformation

If there is the first one to talk about Fushun, there will naturally be a second one, and the third one to do is to support and fund them as much as possible, so that they can grow.

Li Mo knew very well that in this regard, Hua had a natural disadvantage compared with other countries, although he used various means and the knowledge of later generations to raise some science and technology, but the basic force left by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was too weak, and the imprisonment of Baguwen on the mind could not be made up for in just ten years, which required the efforts of several generations.

And from the institutional point of view, the United States implements a capitalist full free economic model, which fully mobilizes the creative power of individuals, as long as you invent something, it means endless wealth, and under the stimulation of wealth, more and more people will join the creative team.

However, China is currently implementing a semi-free economic system, and the advantage of this system is that it can concentrate its efforts on breaking through some crucial technological barriers and ensuring its leading position in cutting-edge technology despite the weakness of its overall scientific and technological capabilities.

However, the disadvantage is that it weakens the creative ability of the people, so while concentrating on cutting-edge technology, Li Mo also refers to the industrial model, adopts the nationalization of the equipment manufacturing industry that affects the national economy and people's livelihood, and at the same time uses the model of bank and government loans to vigorously support all kinds of private enterprises.

Li Mo took a deep breath, looked at the young Tan Fushun and his assistants, and praised: "Well done, very good"

"I'm going to have someone register your international patent right away, and you're going to expedite the transfer of research photos, and besides, are you going to build your own company, or are you going to sell this patent?"

Before they could wake up from the emperor's praise, Tan Fushun and several other young researchers were stunned, thinking that Li Mo was testing them, so they hurriedly waved their hands: "Your Majesty, we are not studying this for money, but just trying to find a way to transmit other than traditional telegraphy." ”

"Haha." Seeing the abruptly changed faces of Tan Fushun and the others, Li Mo laughed: "You guys" He stopped heavily, walked to the fax machine and patted it and smiled: "You guys are very good, really good, but your mind is too complicated." ”

"You think I'm testing you? No" Li Mo's face gradually calmed down, turned his head to look at Li Enfu and the others, and said seriously: "The reason why European and American countries have better technology and innovation capabilities than us, compared to us, is not that white people are smarter than us, but that they encourage private innovation very much. ”

"Think about it, whenever a technology is born, then it will definitely bring up a company, and a rich man will be born, and those eye-catching wealth will stimulate others to join in the research of technology, at this time, the company in order to pursue the lead, not to be eliminated by the market, is bound to increase and improve the technology, to ensure the lead."

"In this way, it promotes market competition and the economy, so I just asked you whether you are going to do it yourself or sell patents, not to test you, but to hope that you can serve as an example and drive the innovation of the whole country."

"I see." Li Enfu took over the words and nodded: "Your Majesty, do you want to set up a group of such private technology enterprises, let them invest in fierce competition, let the world see the benefits of innovation and invention, and drive many people to embark on the road of independent entrepreneurship?" ”

"Right"

Li Mo nodded heavily: "The government needs guidance, and even I think we can join hands with banks to set up special investment institutions to help those entrepreneurs raise funds, and when they are all grown, why worry about the lack of technical capabilities in our country?" ”

Li Mo's words made Li Enfu and the others nod again and again, and even Tan Fushun and several other young people, who had been deaf to the outside of the window, turned red with excitement, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we are willing to do it ourselves."

"Okay" Li Mo patted Tan Fushun's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "I will let the prime minister provide you with funds, if you don't know how to operate, I can also send someone to teach you, as for what you have to do yourself, is to improve the technology, come up with mature products, not only to sell to us, but also to sell abroad, to make foreigners' money"

"Yes."

Seeing that Tan Fushun and several assistants nodded vigorously, Li Mo swept away the solemn atmosphere, and said with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to repay the loan after making money, and also, pay attention to confidentiality, otherwise let the foreigners learn, don't cry and ask me for help." ”

"Huh."

Li Mo's words caused everyone's laughter, and then he also put forward some of his own suggestions, although he didn't know much about these, but the dot matrix printers of later generations still knew, so he put forward suggestions such as installing rollers and hiding the pointers, which took three hours, and Tan Fushun and others dispersed with the machine.

Li Enfu and several government dignitaries have left, Li Mo's words have given them a lot of inspiration, in the case of continuous infrastructure construction, how to stimulate domestic innovation capacity, accelerate the scale of private enterprises, has become a top priority, so what they need to do is to support a group of similar Tan Fushun generation of technology entrepreneurs as soon as possible, so that the world can see the wealth and benefits brought by technological innovation.

This incident also made Li Mo determined to fully open up the first generation of radio technology, as well as tractor and other machinery manufacturing technology, and even prepared to open the private jet market to help accelerate the pace of technological explosion.

When everyone left one after another, leaving only him and the three military pillars in the room, as well as Le Fei, who had just come back to report, Li Mo's thoughts turned back and returned to today's important things.

"What, are you dissatisfied?"

"Report to the emperor, no." Le Fei said after saluting.

"Come on." Li Mo waved his hand, took out a brocade box from his pocket, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, so don't fool me with good words, I'm happy to be removed from the post of commander, what about you liaring ghosts?" ”

Li Mo's words made Le Fei scratch his head in embarrassment, to be honest, he was indeed a little puzzled at first, but a military order is a military order, and he can't resist it, so he gradually put the pimple down, until he brought it up again at this moment, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing his appearance, Li Mo pushed the brocade box in front of him, pointed it and said, "At this time, you should have it, open it and take a look." ”

After Le Fei took it, he immediately opened the brocade box, and when a golden scene appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe rapidly, only to see a royal warrior medal engraved with a dragon pattern appear in front of him.

In China, the army, navy and air force all have similar medals, which are honor, silver and gold, but the design and name are different, for example, the air force is designed to look like an eagle's head, and the gold medal is called the Golden Eagle Medal.

On top of this, there are three special medals, from low to high are the National Medal of Honor, the Royal Warrior Medal and the Royal Platinum Medal, especially the last two, which means that they can be rewarded with titles, although now the title has no rights, but it is a symbol of honor.

Because according to the constitution, although the army serves the state, the emperor is the nominal high commander, and the vital right to declare war must first be discussed and proposed by the parliament and the prime minister's office, and the emperor needs to nod in the end, so the names of the three armies are preceded by the word royal, which means that they are all the emperor's army.

Among the three, in addition to the National Medal of Honor, which is awarded by the Parliament and the Prime Minister's Office, the other two are high honors awarded by the royal family.

So when he saw this Royal Warrior Medal, he couldn't help but breathe shortly after being cold-faced.

"You deserve it." After Li Mo smiled and got up to bring the medal for him, he continued in Le Fei's salute and thanks: "You were not in the previous award ceremony, because of my arrangement, and I apologize to you here. ”

"No, I can serve His Majesty the Emperor, and I will fly to death."

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, sit down." After Li Mo beckoned Le Fei to sit down, he pointed at Chen Ping and the others and quipped: "I knew that you were so honest, I wouldn't have let them come to suppress the formation, and I saved my tea money." ”

"Your Majesty, we are drinking tea from the Ministry of Defense." Long Guozhang looked out the window, and reminded Li Mo with a sad face that this is the Ministry of Defense, not a garden.

"That's also money" Li Mo glared at him and glanced at Chen Ping, who immediately took out a document and handed it to Le Fei, and said at the same time: "The reason why we didn't give you the medal immediately is because we need to give the outside world an illusion that you are abandoned, so that you can avoid the eyes for a long time in the future and cover this mission." ”

"Mission?" Le Fei flipped through the thin plan, but after reading it, he frowned, because it said that he would be sent to learn aviation knowledge for two years, what was going on?

Li Mo didn't answer him directly, but just asked with a smile: "They told me that you have a sentence that is often on your lips, called "speed changes naval battles", right?" ”

Fei nodded.

"Then let me ask you, what do you think of the first time we put in planes in this naval battle?"

Le Fei thought for a while and said: "The speed of the aircraft is very high, and the control distance is long, it will definitely be used as the main reconnaissance means in the future, and can even exist as an auxiliary command, but the weight that can be carried at present is too small, and from the perspective of the naval battle of Sibilu Island, if the capital ship carrying the aircraft joins the battle, there will be trouble in releasing and retrieving it, and the ability to last will not last long." ”

"That's right." Li Mo didn't expect Le Fei to say this, although he was still far from his dream and still didn't know much about the role of aircraft in naval warfare, but he was able to comprehend these at this time, which shows that this medal was not given to the wrong person.

"A few years ago, I asked Chen Ping and Long Guozhang to give Qin Shou the opportunity to bring out the submarine force alone, and now I will also give you the opportunity, you need to go to the aviation academy to study flight and basic theory for two years according to this plan, and after you finish your studies, you will select people by yourself to form a special naval aviation unit, and you are still the commander."

"But." After thinking about it, Le Fei was still a little puzzled, and asked: "Your Majesty, it's not that I underestimate the plane, at present, the plane can only be used as reconnaissance and guidance, because the load is too small, do you want me to do reconnaissance in the future?" ”

"Of course not"

Li Mo smiled and glanced at the three people next to him, in fact, they also had doubts, they didn't understand why Li Mo wanted to carry out this plan, and he took this opportunity to explain: "Technology will continue to improve, in case you find that one day in the future, the plane can carry bombs, then what will happen?" ”

"Bombs on planes?"

Not to mention Le Fei, even Chen Ping, Yan Fu and Long Guozhang are a little unconvinced, but they can't deny that if the aircraft technology really advances to that extent, then it will definitely change the mode of naval warfare.

They don't know exactly what the pattern is, but there is no doubt about the change

"As a soldier, you can't wait for technology to advance, you have to use the existing equipment to simulate what will happen in the future, so that we can always stay ahead of the curve."

Li Mo's words echoed in the conference room, in fact, he didn't know when the aircraft carrier in his mind would come out, but he knew better than anyone that that kind of huge flat-deck figure would appear at sea sooner or later, so it was necessary to start stockpiling and research in advance, and not let the mind wait for equipment, you must know that the aircraft carrier has gone through a long, long road from its appearance to its use, and the main one is the change in the thinking of naval warfare.

He can't afford the arms race that is about to start, so he must first give the army a big change in ideology and operational concepts, so in addition to Le Fei, he is also ready to wait for the end of the negotiations and push Sun Jiugong to a special armored unit to study it, so that when the equipment comes out, he can quickly keep up with the pace.

When Le Fei walked out of the conference room with the plan, no one knew that an epoch-making transformation in the Navy had quietly begun, although Li Mo, as the first proposer of the change, did not know when the plane would make a breakthrough, but he had to be prepared
