Chapter 274 Arrest and Rescue
"This... this, Mr. Jun, we are just ordinary sending antennas. It has nothing to do with espionage. You are absolutely mistaken. Ours is at most a personal hobby!"

Even though the soldiers held him down forcibly, Zhang Yulin still held his neck high and tried his best to argue.

"Yeah, Mr. Jun, these are just some relatively novel toys. They hope to use the latest 'traffic weapon' to communicate with each other. They don't have the slightest intention of spying on the military situation. This... This is definitely a misunderstanding. Seeing that his friend had spoken out, Xi Kangfu quickly explained.

"Toy? Huh! Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?" The military guard sneered, then got up and walked directly to the attic window, opened it and said not far away:
"Look at what that is? You are spying here, while sending information in that direction, and then transporting it out. Are you still unwilling to explain the matter? If you continue to resist stubbornly, you will be sent to a military court. Open a hole!"

Seeing that the two were still "resisting", they couldn't help but cry when they saw the coffin, the guards simply clapped their hands, and immediately escorted another young man over from the door, and knelt on the ground side by side with Zhang and Xi.

In addition, two transmitters were sent along with them, and they were placed right in front of the three of them.

"Now there are all the witnesses and material evidence. I think you are relatively young and have a bright future. Now I will give you another chance to honestly explain who is watching us, how long you have been watching us here, and what questions you have collected... ..."

A series of questions fell on the heads of the three people, their heads were buzzing like a paste, looking at the transmitter, in a trance, they really thought that they were conducting radio activities for the purpose of spying on the military situation.

Fortunately, Zhang Yulin, the eldest brother here, is well-informed. Before going to Nanyang University, he had studied in Germany for five years and specialized in radio. He also practiced in Europe while studying.

It is definitely impossible to say that this kind of scene is not surprising, but after only a moment, Zhang Yulin still refused to give in after reacting, and wanted to break free.

"Don't move, be honest, if this goes on, I'll give you a butt."

"Hey, the little guy is quite strong, you want to loosen your bones, don't you, Mr. Jun, I will satisfy you."

Just when the two soldiers who detained Zhang Yulin got impatient and were about to give him a good training, the guard waved his hand directly: "Forget it, let this kid stand up, I want to see what tricks he is playing."

Before the voice fell, Zhang Yulin broke free, glared at the two soldiers and straightened his clothes: "Master Jun, let's put it this way, if we really want to spy on information by radio, we won't use this kind of report at all." Firstly, the target is too big, and even a stupid person can see it at a glance with such a long antenna outside, and secondly..."

Just as the envoy was listening in high spirits and waiting for an explanation later, the words stopped abruptly, looking at the little guy in doubt, he said, "The latter content is what you said."

Zhang Yulin bent down to pick up the transmitter on the ground, installed the fallen box, and said calmly: "Secondly, the power of these two transmitters is so small, it is impossible and does not support long-distance telegram transmission. Not a good thing."

Now the guard couldn't sit still, he pointed to his nose and said he was stupid, he couldn't even distinguish the basic functions, so he dared to go out and arrest people, and make people laugh out loud when he said it.

"You little bastard, it's the wrong way to go, and you taught me how to recognize this thing. Today I'm going to show you how many eyes Lord Ma has. He can't touch a tiger's butt!" said the guard. The messenger directly slapped Zhang Yulin loudly.

But it was this behavior that made his subordinates couldn't help being happy. They really didn't expect that the military guard who usually flamboyantly flaunted his nostrils would be deflated by the students, and he felt secretly refreshed.

It was obvious that he was being laughed at by others, and his subordinates were yelling at him, the military guard immediately couldn't control his facial expression, the more he looked at the three students in front of him, the angrier he became, and he turned his back immediately. Said: "Close the team and return to camp!"

"Sir, what about these people and equipment?" The subordinate asked.

"Of course I'll take it back. Starve me for three days and three nights first, and wait for them to be honest before we talk about anything else." The envoy gritted his molars and said bitterly.

People who can afford to go to university in this era are naturally not idle people. Even in this situation, the three of them still frequently questioned:

"Why arrest us? If you have the ability to get someone in your army who understands radio technology to come over, you can tell at a glance."

"I want to complain to you, let me go, I will go by myself!"

"Don't touch our radio..."

It's a pity that we had a bad experience just now, and the guards directly took these words as a deaf ear, not even qualified to go in the left ear and out the right ear, hummed a little song, took off the white gloves, and walked in the direction we came from go.

In fact, before Cheng Nuo prepared radio, there were already a group of enthusiasts who were keen on radio science, and they formed a radio club to explore the spread of radio sound and music.

During the first ten years when broadcasting entered China, the same group of people formed the key technicians and the first listeners in the construction of radio stations. Under their influence, radio broadcasting gradually gained the attention of public opinion.

The radio and ore radio technology published by Cheng Nuo in the "National" magazine was also the first to spread among this group of people, and under the guidance of the column article, the technology gradually matured, and the ore, the core component of the radio, could be bought. Vacuum tubes to amplify sound and more radio material.

The three people involved in this case are at the stage where they are full of curiosity about all new things and like to explore science. Before researching ore radios, Zhang Yulin has already made a spark radio transmitter with the radio parts at hand with his professional knowledge. , and set above the attic.

In order to ensure the power supply in the middle, an electric room for power supply was even set up behind the western-style building, and together with Fa Xiaoxi Kangfu, they experimented with the wireless receiver to receive information and sound in the attic.

As for Wu Shixian, another friend who was additionally arrested, he also set up the same type of wireless receiver at the Jinjia Archway in Ximen not far away, and exchanged messages with Zhang Yulin and Xi Kangfu's experiment.

But they ignored that two miles away is the military security zone, and the north and south are still confronting each other, which immediately attracted the attention of interested people. With the above things.

Although this incident may seem small, it actually caused huge waves in the society very quickly. On the surface, the students were suspected of being "spies in the Civil War", and their radio communication activities became a means of stealing military affairs in the eyes of the government. Confidential Suspicious Behavior.

But in private, many people with lofty ideals in the society don’t think so, and think that the behavior of these three students should be supported. Unfortunately, because this is a new technology, ordinary people don’t know much about it. Although there are voices of support, but in the In front of the public, he still seemed a little weak.

In order to suppress opposition voices, the government simply ordered the Shanghai county police to investigate and deal with the private radio stations in Shanghai. For a while, all the radio amateur groups were in panic, and even the ones that had been equipped were dismantled one after another.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, I don't understand, why is such a good thing, the government doesn't come forward to encourage it, and it directly bans it, what do you think? If they really want to develop radio technology, why don't they want to allocate money?" Funding?"

Jiang Jiangzuo was furious when he heard the news. He threw the newspaper on the table and walked around with arms crossed.

"Jiang, I beg you not to leave again. If you continue, my eyes will be dazzled by you. Young people should respect us old people." Tesla on the side adjusted his glasses and said helplessly.

Jiang Jiangzuo paused, and came directly opposite Tesla, supporting himself on the table with both hands: "Mr. Tesla commented, if the public continues to do this, when will our radio technology be developed? We are still waiting for foreign companies Invasion? I believe that the United States across the Pacific will never do this."

Tesla took off his glasses, crossed his hands and agreed: "If it is placed in the United States, it will not be the case. As far as I know, there are about 8000 or [-] private radio stations in China that can send reports. Compared with the United States, there are already [-] In many places, I think, the data will not lie and can prove some conclusions."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiangzuo was even more angry, and repeatedly called Qu: "Tell me what is the reason, it is so much worse than foreign countries, the public not only does not want to catch up, but also wants to hold back, it is really hateful Ah, Zhiyuan, can't we go to Zhang Guogan, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce?"

Deep in the shadows, Cheng Nuo slowly stood up from the chair, put on his coat and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and suddenly the room was brightly lit.

"Compared with the United States, our side is too self-sufficient. The year before last, Marconi's American branch had installed and operated its own radio equipment on more than 400 merchant ships. Let's not talk about technology at that time. , that is, there are only a handful of people who know the word 'radio'.

As for the more than 8000 radio stations in the United States that Mr. Tesla mentioned just now, I happen to know more details. "

Jiang Jiangzuo asked: "What is it?"

Cheng Nuo came to his desk and leaned against it: "Currently, they have 20 to 30 receivers. It's because of this kind of radio enthusiasts, they can become US military combatants without professional training. real-time communications professionals."

Tesla nodded and added: "Yes, Dean Cheng is right. Thanks to so many radio enthusiasts, the United States was the first to realize radio long-distance broadcast communication in other countries."

Speaking of this, Cheng Nuo suddenly laughed and said, "However, Xiao He is the success, and Xiao He is the failure. The United States advocates the privatization of the communication industry, which leads to everyone having their own patents, and there are many telegrams with different patents." company."

Jiang Jiangzuo was confused, and frowned and asked, "Isn't this a good thing? Everyone competes fairly and competes with each other, and everyone has a chance."

"Ideals are better, but sometimes reality is illogical." Cheng Nuo shook his head, picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea: "The U.S. law that respects individual private property stipulates that as long as an individual owns a patent, he can rely on it to carry out related work." A monopoly in the wireless business, and guess what?

Jiang Jiangzuo blurted out: "Each side fights, each fights?"

Cheng Nuo snapped his fingers and agreed: "Yes, that's what it means. At that time, no company in the United States could own multiple radio patents at the same time to control the radio market. Now everyone pays attention to monopoly operations. Facing the competition from Britain, France and other countries For large companies, it will be very difficult to compete.”

Tesla suddenly laughed at this time: "So this is the dean, you want me to concentrate on researching radio, so that I can 'counterattack' the North American continent in the future?"

"Bingo!" Cheng Nuo came to the middle of the open space with a smile, and said with his hands behind his back: "If you want to make money on wireless wires, it's not enough to rely on the intangible 30 yuan from the public, and the domestic market can't digest the advanced technology." For technology, you still have to go out and look at the world, and Americans have more money."

Jiang Jiangzuo was overjoyed, but also a little worried: "But the United States passed the prohibition of alcohol last month, and it will be completely banned in a few years. Such extreme things can be done. It is not so easy for us to enter the North American market. one thing?"

Cheng Nuo shook his head, jokingly said, "There are policies above, and countermeasures below. I believe it is the same in North America. Besides, Americans are not stupid, such as grape bricks that turn into wine when they meet water?"

Tesla's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look Cheng Nuo up and down and said, "Dean, I believe with your vision, even if we can't make radios and transport bootleg alcohol across the North American continent, we can still become rich. "

Cheng Nuo quickly waved his hand: "Pay attention to the wording, it's called grape bricks, we are better at selling craftsmanship than selling this thing."

But after the joke, Cheng Nuo couldn't help sighing when he talked about the increasingly urgent space for radio development.

"Don't look at the relatively old technology of the spark radio transmitter made by these students. It is nothing more than generating and emitting electromagnetic waves through the spark emitted by the spark oscillator. However, because of this technology more than ten years ago, the Tsarist Russian army almost It was destroyed in the port by the Japanese army."

As the pioneer of the first year of electronic warfare, when Tsarist Russia and the Japanese fleet were fighting in Lushun, they had already been ambushed by the Japanese army and captured the coordinates of the fleet. Seeing that these shooting elements were about to be transmitted to The command office of the Japanese fleet, which was ready to go, was buried in the port, ready to bombard it in one fell swoop.

But this telegram was intercepted by the Tsarist Russian operator through the spark radio station. Under its interference, the operator of the Japanese cruiser who was eagerly waiting for the calibration telegram heard only a "click" noise in the earphones. The crisis was quietly resolved.

"Whether it's for the development of radio, the consolidation of national defense, or to encourage more radio enthusiasts, or to appreciate these talented little guys, we can't sit idly by!"

"How do we do it?"

"Isn't the radio station ready? Use it!"
