Chapter 146: The Lighthouse of Lightning

Seeing that the priests were still a little surprised, Guo Kang continued to give an example: "The Jewish scriptures say that their ancestors once wrestled with angels, and the angels not only did not blame him, but also blessed him, giving him the name 'Israel,' which means 'one who wrestles with God,' to commemorate this event. ”

"Look, a wrestling with an angel is enough to be proud for thousands of years." He compared: "What is the divine punishment that has withstood the flood and solved the Father's extinction style?" What is it to solve the Tower of Babel problem with manpower? ”

Everyone couldn't answer for a while, and they felt that it really made sense.

The biggest problem with religion is that even the teachings of the realm of faith have to be constantly tested by reality.

If the gap with reality is too large, at first everyone may think that the doctrine is correct and the world is wrong. But as time goes by, even the most determined believer will murmur in his heart; Even the most knowledgeable theologians wonder if there is a problem with the current doctrinal interpretation that God will not protect them.

Therefore, after thinking about it, everyone can only accept this statement.

Guo Kang said that when he turned around, he would ask the church for help, find some knowledgeable priests, and settle down the vocabulary first.

It is true that he can combine them at will, but he is not an expert in grammar, and whether these new words can avoid ambiguity and facilitate popularization and use needs to be carefully studied. In order to avoid trouble and improve efficiency, it is better to find a professional.

"There are indeed some equipment, I don't even know what to call it." He went on to introduce the rest: "Like this one here...... Two balls, which are used for discharging sparks. ”

He opened a window and pushed out the two copper balls on the windowsill together with the table, and stretched them out: "Actually, it can be put in the house, but the discharge will produce some toxic gases, so we usually put them out of the window." ”

"And the circuit where it is located has to connect to the sky and the ground." Guo Kang said: "This is not a metaphor, look here-"

He pointed to the wall, where a copper wire, also wrapped in tarpaulin, stretched out of the room, sticking down the wall to the ground outside.

"That's literal grounding." Brother Dmitry leaned down at the window and looked at it, and confirmed.

"What about the sky?" Another monk asked.

"On top." Guo Kang pointed to the ceiling: "There is a line going out from here, and then the bronze statue of Brother Tian above our heads." This is the heavens. ”

"Heaven and earth are connected, and in theory, a message can be sent to all parts of the world. This is also summed up in the wisdom of the East. ”

"I see." The monks had a look on their faces that suddenly realized: "No wonder the statue of Heavenly Brother above is a little strange." ”

"Our machine is very crude, so we can't send it too far for the time being." Guo Kang pointed to several buildings around him: "But I have put receivers in several major places. That's the kind of thing. ”

He picked up a box next to him, which contained the same devices from just now, but much smaller.

"It's a pyrite ore, and this thing is the heart of the receiving device." He pointed and introduced, "And this paper horn here is the same as the one I showed you just now." It's very sensitive, and when it receives information from this side, it can make a sound. ”

"This device is already set. I'll show you how. ”

As he spoke, he took the box with him, led the group away, and called out to a few monks who were working here to activate the "Lightning Station".

When the visitors were all standing in the open space outside, Guo Kang waved his hand to the roof. A moment later, the box in his hand suddenly rang with a "zigza".

The priests were not so surprised, but they still probed their brains to observe the statue of Brother Tian and the room, to see if anything had changed. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find any visions such as Brother Tian's glow.

"If we get closer, we can see the electric light between the two copper balls. It's just that it's too bright outside during the day. Guo Kang explained: "This kind of information ...... You can understand that it spreads with the help of very weak lightning, which is the same as the one we just demonstrated. ”

"And the purpose of this thing." He raised the box in his hand: "It's just to remind the user that there is a 'lightning'." Our current technology is too backward to make it carry sound, and it can only represent two states: 'yes' and 'no'. Of course, if only a short code is sent, this will be enough. ”

"For example, in our case, lightning strikes five times in a row, which means that the canteen is open. In this way, although it is very primitive, it is also possible to use lightning to transmit information. ”

This time, the monks had no doubts or disbelief, and they applauded one after another, celebrating his breakthrough in the study of source power and gods.

Guo Kang hurriedly said that there is still a long way to go in the future.

For example, the biggest problem now is that these things are bulky and inefficient. He is still very clear about this.

The facility at the top of this canteen is a very primitive spark transmitter, which is very inefficient. There is no professional design for the antenna part - in fact, the current antenna is Brother Tian.

So, this thing looks like it's not small, but it can barely cover the monastery. He also said to Tuohuan, Wu Han and others that he hoped that they would provide more materials for improvement and testing, and as a result, Tuohuan sent several cartloads of Slavic slaves over.

Dehuan told him that it doesn't matter if the efficiency is low and it doesn't go far. Although the level of craftsmanship in the Purple Horde was not very good, and many experimental equipment were missing, the most indispensable experimental equipment was Slavic slave labor.

Every time the Khanate fought a foreign war, it was able to capture a large number of Slavic slaves. And unlike ancient Rome, the Purple Horde had a hard time digesting these slaves.

In Romania, there is a basic consensus that the Slavs could not be used directly on the Legion estates. Otherwise, at their level of farming, it is purely a corruption of the land that everyone has worked so hard to cultivate. Whoever uses them to work, a hundred households can beat him to death angrily.

In those days, agriculture and handicrafts were no longer like in ancient Rome, where they could only pile up manpower, but on the contrary, they were all technical work now, and the Purple Horde's advantage in production efficiency over the surrounding areas was also provided by skilled agricultural technology. Slaves are no longer able to adapt to the situation.

Can't you catch them and still offer them every day, teaching them to learn all kinds of professional skills until they learn them, right? So who is the slave?

So, in addition to going to the mines to work as slave laborers, most of the Slavs were sold directly.

Tuohuan thinks that so many slaves don't need to be used in vain. Since Guo Kang's scientific research requires a lot of slave labor, he can get more, and it is not expensive anyway.

The Romans had always been good at capturing slaves, so take advantage of this advantage.

The previous huge flash brother, in Guo Kang's original design, was a turntable pulled by a cow, and it was verified if it could hit a few arcs. But with a wave of his hand, he said that the cattle were too expensive, so let's change them to the Slavs.

He also felt that the scale of this thing was too small, and there was no sense of shock at all, so under his urging, Guo Kang could only continue to test and redesign, and finally became the current huge spectacle that only fifty Slavs can promote.

On the issue of sending reports, Dehuan also has the same idea - anyway, as long as it is sent, it is verified successfully, and then, it is enough to put in more slave labor to push.

This thing was originally fixed, and it was not expected to move. In this case, it is better to build a lighthouse level sign of Alexandria, and it is a big deal to get 1,000 Slavs to push the motor and see if they can make man-made communication lightning reach the surrounding Greek cities, and even to the HRE.

Although this thing must be expensive, as long as it can be successful, it will definitely bring a huge shock to the entire God Worship Sect and even the Heavenly Sect world. The religious and political implications of the production go beyond what money can measure. And this kind of religious miracle kind of thing, there is no need to consider the cost performance and cost.

He also looked at the manuscript of the antenna pattern provided by Guo Kang, and thought that the antenna like an iron pot was better than the one of the cross. He is willing to try to convince everyone to pay for it, and as the name suggests, this thing is called "Dehuan Lightning Lighthouse". It's a lot more valuable than the mess right now.

It's a pity that the money for Dehuan is also limited, and this idea is only verbal for the time being.
