Tesla, with Arthur's support, burst out with great enthusiasm, and as soon as the battleship was moored in the shipyard, Tesla had already begun the installation of radar.

By the time the radar was installed and commissioned, the time had come to February 26, a week later.

Arthur took Vice Admiral Andrew Reid, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and Vice Admiral Thomas Johansen, Secretary of State for Defence, as well as a number of staff officers from the Department of Defence, to the Port of Sydney to participate in the practical test of the radar.

After boarding the battleship, Arthur once again saw Tesla, who was directing the personnel to adjust the radar.

Tesla also saw Arthur, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the radar is ready!" ”

Arthur nodded, looked at the generals behind him, and said with a smile: "Let's introduce these guys to how to conduct experiments on the radar this time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tesla nodded, looked at the generals, and explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, the principle of radar is to know the enemy's position through the reflection of radio waves. The measured distance and the validity of the calculation have become the two major factors in testing the role of radar.

In order to better test the performance of our first-generation radar, please order the fleet to approach this battleship from a distance, and my team will record the number and time of your fleet's warships on the radar, as well as the maximum distance of the radar test, to verify the true performance of this radar. ”

At present, the role of radar is to detect the enemy from a distance, and the direction of Tesla's experiment is probably the same.

Several generals nodded when they heard this, and there was no point in Tesla's proposal, after all, directing the fleet to approach the battleship was just a simple matter.

With Arthur's order, several generals did not dare to underestimate the radar developed by Tesla, and even Secretary of Defense Thomas had expectations for the actual role of radar.

If it is really possible to detect the enemy from a long distance, it is needless to say that this will have an impact on the war.

It will take some time for the fleet to be prepared, and Arthur, with several generals and Tesla, will go to the high seas on this monarch-class battleship, where it will be better tested.

Because almost half of the Australasian fleet was dispatched, there was no need for additional troops to protect Arthur's safety.

Aside from a small squad of royal guards, Arthur didn't need any other protection in Australasia, which was already the safest place for Arthur.

About two hours later, dozens of kilometers away from the port of Sydney, somewhere in the ocean.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tesla, are all ready to start testing." After getting in touch with the navy dozens of kilometers away, the commander-in-chief of the navy, Andrew, nodded respectfully to Arthur and said.

Seeing Arthur looking at him, Tesla nodded to his subordinates, and after getting a reply that everything had been prepared, he reported to Arthur: "Your Majesty, the radar has been prepared, and the test can start at any time." ”

"Let's get started, and see what the world's first practical radar really does." Arthur smiled and announced the official start of experiments on radar.

With Arthur's command, the radars on the fleet and battleships in the distance began to work at the same time.

The radar concentrates on sending radio waves to look for enemies in the distance, while fleets in the distance approach Arthur's battleship at different speeds in different places according to the original plan, testing whether the radar can record all of them when facing enemies at different speeds.

As the clock ticked by, Arthur and several generals looked at the working radar with interest.

"Your Majesty, is this thing really that magical? Able to find enemies tens of kilometers away. Navy Commander Andrew asked with a curious expression.

Not only the navy, but also the navy, the army, and the air force are able to find the enemy dozens of kilometers away, which means that they have already taken the lead in the war.

Encounters are often caught off guard, but if you know where the enemy is and where you're heading before the encounter, you can prepare well in advance of the encounter, or even plan a siege.

One side was prepared, the other side was caught off guard, and the outcome of the war was basically decided.

Arthur smiled, looked at Tesla, who was busy, and said, "Whether you can see the actual performance of the radar for a while." ”

In the expectant eyes of everyone, less than 20 minutes passed, and Tesla's assistant shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Tesla, you have found a warship that is approaching us quickly." ”

Arthur and several generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly walked to the radar display, and sure enough, they saw a green dot in the distance that was rapidly heading towards the center.

The green dot represents the warship that has been detected, while the center dot is the battleship where the radar is located.

The commander-in-chief of the Navy has no questions now, nodded in surprise, as if he thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Tesla, can your radar detect the actual distance between the warship and us and the speed of the warship?" ”

General Andrew was not satisfied with knowing the approximate location of the enemy, and he also wanted to rely on radar to obtain the actual distance between the enemy and himself, as well as the enemy's speed.

If you can know these two data, you will know when the enemy will meet with you, so that you can make more adequate and convenient preparations.

"It is possible to estimate the distance and time, but it is not clear whether it is accurate or not." Tesla said.

Andrew nodded and looked at Tesla, who was already measuring the distance and speed of the warship.

After more than a minute, Tesla finished the calculation, looked at Arthur and Andrew, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to the results shown by the radar, this warship is currently about 13 nautical miles away from us and is heading towards us at a speed of 19 knots. ”

A speed of 1 knot is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour, which is also equal to 1.85 kilometers per hour.

The distance of 13 nautical miles is equivalent to about 24 kilometers, which means that the actual test distance of the radar has reached more than 24 kilometers.

Although 24 km is not far for the Navy, after all, it is the first generation of radar that has just been developed, and it is not bad to have such a test range.

What's more, it is not clear what exactly the effective range of the radar is at the moment, and 24 km is only the result for now.

This made a group of generals, including Navy Commander Andrew and Defense Secretary Thomas, very excited.

If such radars can be equipped on a large scale in the navy, land and air force, there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of the Australasian army will be enhanced.

The commander of the Navy, in particular, Andrew, was ready to cheekily ask for more radar from Arthur.

Even if he was the one who refused Tesla's experiment with the battleship before, he still couldn't stop Andrew, who now knows the actual performance of the radar, from cheekily asking for more radar to equip the navy.

Of course, the actual distance and speed of the warship measured by the radar have yet to be tested. How do you verify this data? Of course, to see when this warship meets everyone.

At a distance of 13 nautical miles and a speed of 19 knots, it only took about 41 minutes to reach the current position of the battleship.

As long as the error was within a minute or two, General Andrew felt that he could accept it. After all, the radar has just been developed, and it is a bit unrealistic to expect the accuracy of the radar to be accurate to within seconds, that is, to a distance of less than 100 meters.

From the moment they learned the distance of the warship, these generals not only looked at the working radar, but also at the custom-made watches they carried on their wrists.

In fact, this is also a tradition of senior military officers. Carrying a watch is not for show-off, but for better time determination and unified military operations.

After all, if you don't even know the time, how can you launch a military operation at the same time?

The watches of these officers are basically from the watchmakers of the royal family, and they are specially customized watches, and the time error is also very small.

Although ordinary people do not have access to custom-made watches from royal watchmakers, the handmade watches of these watchmakers are also given or rewarded as gifts and prizes to those who have made meritorious contributions, as well as dignitaries of the royal family and the state.

Arthur is also very good at brand concepts, and deliberately established the Saxony Coburg Gotha watch brand.

The purpose of using one's own surname as a brand for watches is also very simple, one is to quickly increase the brand awareness of the watch.

The popularity of the Coburg-Gotha dynasty of Saxony is not insignificant, after all, the current British royal family, Windsor, is also a member of the Saxony Coburg-Gotha dynasty, but the British king himself changed his surname.

Such watches with aristocratic surnames are born with a noble temperament, and any watch sells for more than $500 and is the kind that has no price.

There are even capitalists who want to buy a watch for 2,000 euros, because such a watch in Australasia represents not only the face value, but also the importance that the royal family and Arthur have for those who get the watch.

Everyone stared nervously at the time, and after about twenty minutes, a warship in the distant sea was able to see with a telescope.

Admiral Andrew ordered the warship to continue at its original pace, and at a little over 41 minutes, it crossed over with the battleship exactly 100 meters away.

General Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately turned his head to Tesla with an astonishing gaze and praised very cheekily, "What a great invention, Mr. Tesla." I can't imagine how powerful our navy could be when we know the enemy's position and speed. ”

Hearing General Andrew's praise, Tesla nodded with an unchanged expression, and said very plainly: "Your Excellency the General has a good reputation, and all this is due to His Majesty's support." ”
