Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 646

Taichang still attaches great importance to this long-distance communication, because the territory of Daming is too big now, and communication is too troublesome.

With such a large territory, it is not enough to meet the communication needs by relying on the urgent communication of [-] miles, or even the speed of the Clippers traveling thousands of miles a day.

For example, New Jingzhou Mansion is more than [-] miles away from Daming Capital. If he wants to communicate with Sun Chengzong, he has to add the distance from the north of New Jingzhou Mansion to the south of New Jingzhou Mansion.

Calculated in this way, the capital is more than [-] miles away from the fiefdom of Gongsun Chengzong of the Liao Kingdom. Even if the fast boat sails non-stop around such a distance, it will take about two months for a trip, and four months for a round trip.

In other words, if Sun Chengzong asked him for instructions on anything, he would have to wait at least four months to know what to do!
For another example, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is nearly [-] miles away from the capital of the Eastern Yin. If the distance from the capital of the Eastern Yin to the Tonghai Grand Canal and the distance from the Grand Canal to the capital of the Western Yin are added, it is nearly [-] miles.

That is to say, if something happened in the Western Yin Capital, Sun Chuanting would go to the memorial to ask for instructions, and he would have to wait at least ten months for the memorial to be replied!
This distance is too scary, and this communication time is too easy to make mistakes.

Therefore, the use of long-distance communication is too important to Ming Dynasty. With the huge territory of Ming Dynasty, if it can't achieve long-distance instant communication, big trouble will happen sooner or later.

However, this long-distance instant communication is not so simple. It does not mean that there is only a simple telegraph and a coding manual.

Wired telegraph still needs to be wired, and the long-distance wires need to be laid if you want to achieve long-distance instant communication.

Moreover, after the length of the line increases, the power of the generator must also increase accordingly. Otherwise, the signal will not be able to travel far, and it will be useless no matter how long the line is laid.

These two problems are also quite troublesome.

For example, if there is no plastic, it is necessary to add cotton thread to cover the wire with rubber. Such a covered wire is too troublesome to make, let alone tens of thousands of miles long, and it is laborious to make thousands of meters. .

Another example is the motor. The motor with a wooden case is definitely not good. It will basically be useless if it is slightly knocked, touched, or dropped on the ground a few times. It must be made of cast iron.

There is not much way to improve the wires at the moment, because the vacuum separator is not so easy to make, especially the vacuum separator used to separate oil has to be heated to several hundred degrees, which is really difficult.

Shen Yunpei is currently leading a trial production of this thing, and he can't help much.

He can help out with the shell of the motor, because he has seen this thing before, and he only needs to draw a rough shape before it can be casted.

Fang Yizhi ordered people to cast this thing in just one day.

The problem is that Fang Yizhi still doesn't know why the motor case is cast in this way.

When Taichang walked into the casting workshop, Fang Yizhi was holding a freshly washed motor case and frowning in thought.

He couldn't help but walked up and asked, "Mizhi, what's the matter?"

Fang Yizhi hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, why are there so many grooves in the shell? Isn't it enough for us to insert a thread?"

Who told you that there is only one wire in the generator?

Taichang pointed to those grooves and introduced: "Each group of corresponding grooves can be plugged with wires, and then the two ends of all the wires are connected together and drawn out, so that the electric power emitted is much higher than that of a single wire. The power of the line is much higher.”

power?

Fang Yizhi was a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, what does power mean?"

How to explain this?
Taichang thought for a while, and then explained in detail: "This power can be understood as the size of the output, just like a steam engine, a steam engine weighing about ten kilograms can drive the blades of an electric fan, but using such a small steam engine to drive the impeller of a ship It must not be able to push, because the power is not enough.

The same is true for generators. If there is only one wire in it, the electricity generated may be able to travel several miles or even tens of miles. If it is farther away, the power will not be enough, and the coil will have no magnetic force, and the signal of the telegraph will also be transmitted. Not anymore.

If a few wires or a dozen wires are wound in the generator, it will be no problem for the signal of the telegraph to be transmitted hundreds or even hundreds of miles.

You can try this slowly. In short, a set of telegraphs must be able to transmit signals for at least a thousand miles, otherwise, the signal transmission of tens of thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles will be troublesome. "

Fang Yizhi heard the words, nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand."

They were discussing in the workshop, when a school captain in Jinyi suddenly walked in, bowed his hands and said, "Report, Your Majesty, the Spanish envoy is here to see you."

Ah!
Spanish messenger?
Taichang was stunned.

Spain actually sent envoys here, which is probably a big deal.

He froze for a moment, then asked, "Where is the Spanish envoy?"

The captain in Jinyi hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Go back to the emperor, the Spanish envoy is waiting at the Linhai pier."

Who the hell brought the Spanish envoy to Wubei City!

Wubei City is the place where the core secrets of Ming Dynasty are located, how can the Spanish envoy come over, isn't this nonsense?

Taichang quickly waved to Fang Yizhi, and then said to Wang Chengen: "Quick, order people to prepare the boat, let's go to the Linhai Wharf."

Soon, a group of people left Gecheng of the Electric Power Research Institute, boarded several Spike warships, and headed straight to the wharf of Wubei City.

At this moment, Carinho was already dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that Da Ming was already so powerful.

Can the huge ship more than [-] meters long be made by humans?

Also, how big is this grid city that can't be seen at a glance?
Also, he couldn't even count how many ships there were in the harbor and in the river!

Taichang hurried to Linhai Wharf to have a look, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

The Spanish envoy turned out to be Carinho, and Carinho was the only one with yellow hair on the pier, and there were no traces of Europeans at all.

It was this guy.

Fortunately, this guy has been bought by him, and he can still control it a little bit. It shouldn't be a big problem if some things are seen by this guy.

He stepped directly onto the pier and said with a slight smile, "Carinho, long time no see, why are you here?"

Carinho looked back, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "My minister sees the emperor."

Uh, the standard Ming Mandarin, even the etiquette is not bad at all!

Taichang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but asked curiously: "Who did you learn from?"

Carlinio quickly explained: "Isn't this minister already taking refuge with the emperor, so when I returned to Europe, I simply brought a few daughters of Luzon Ming merchants back to be concubines, and followed them every day. I have studied for more than a year, and finally I have learned almost the same."

This guy is really speechless.

Still a concubine!

Well, it’s good if you learn it, so you don’t have to worry about translation.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why did you come here? Is there something urgent?"

Hearing this, Carinho couldn't help but anxiously said: "Your Majesty, it's bad, the anti-Habsburg alliance army has all gone to our Brazilian colony in South America."

This is a good thing!
The gang of Prince Condé was really fooled by him to attack the Spanish colonies in America.

Simply wonderful!

Taichang couldn't help smiling slightly and said, "What does this have to do with you?"

This means, do you think you are my man or the king of Spain?

If you consider yourself one of my people, don't worry, the anti-Habsburg alliance and the Spanish dog eat dog are good things.

Of course Carinho understood what Taichang meant.

He couldn't help sighing: "This matter has nothing to do with my minister, but after receiving the news, His Majesty the King suddenly appointed me as the Governor of Brazil. I, I, I really don't Know what to say."

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help squinting his eyes.

What does the king of Spain mean?
He thought about it carefully and then asked: "Haven't you been appointed as the governor of Brazil? You leave the Brazilian governor's jurisdiction alone. What are you doing here? It will take at least ten months for you to go back and forth, governor. Can you leave your jurisdiction for ten months?"

Carinho quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it is like this, our Majesty the King just issued an appointment, and did not let the minister take up the post immediately.

It seems that the term of the previous governor will not be up until the end of this year. The minister only needs to arrive in Brazil before the end of the year. Even, it is not a big problem to rush there after the new year. "

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart.

Felipe IV, are you playing tricks with me?

Hmph, actually thought of using Carinho to lure me into the bait!
