I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 191 Telegraph and phone call! Group members: Are chat groups just a more advanced way of communication? Has the group leader been exposed?

[Louis XVI: Galileo's contribution... I can't finish it at once. There is a specific thing that can accurately describe his greatness. The telescope he made allows our human eyes to see farther at once. , see the stars in the sky clearly. 】

In the group, Louis XVI summarized what Galileo's greatest contribution could be concreted.

[American Taizu Washington: Indeed, the astronomical telescope is definitely the greatest invention in the world, allowing us to easily see the scene on the moon. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Can you see further, can you clearly see the stars in the sky, and can you easily see the scene on the moon? It's nothing, right? During our Qin and Han Dynasties, we had star maps. As for the scene on the moon... By the way, we have Duan Chengshi, an in-law of the poet Wen Tingyun. He seems to have said... the surface of the moon is very uneven, there is no moon palace... and someone has repaired it. Many big pits...]

When it came to astronomical knowledge, Zhu Houzhao immediately searched his mind and found some things that Louis XVI and others said, which seemed to have been recorded. In fact, they already knew that there was no Guanghan Palace on the moon.

Because during the Tang Dynasty, just before Emperor Xizong and Li Xuan of the Tang Dynasty, there was a book called "Youyang Zazu", which recorded such a passage about the surface conditions of the moon.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Really? Your Majesty Li, do you know the situation of the moon at your time? Did you see it with your own eyes? I mentioned that Galileo built an improved telescope that would allow us to clearly see the rocks on the moon! 】

Louis XVI did not believe that Li Zhan could clearly see the scene on the moon.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: This... we don’t have this kind of telescope here. 】

Zhu Houzhao had to admit that they did not have such a thing here.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: It seems that Roosevelt... gave you a small gift of a telescope. You need to arrange it quickly so that His Majesty Li Xuan can take a good look at the rocks on the moon with his own eyes. 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Okay, no problem! In fact... Your Majesty Louis XVI, you mentioned Galileo, and I would also add a great scientist from the Holy Roman Empire at the same time as Galileo, Johannes Kepler. He was also a scientist from about 1571 to 1630. He discovered The three laws of planets have allowed us to further understand the solar system and the universe. 】

In this regard, Roosevelt also took the opportunity to add Kepler, a great scientist at the same time as Galileo.

Is it Kepler? He is also a character born later, so take note of it.

Zhu Houzhao now felt that he was in an unfamiliar field. Although he knew that they also had many theories and discoveries in astronomy, he was really not familiar with this area. He tried to interrupt as little as possible and only recorded people who could leave their names in history. !
These are ordinary people who will go down in history, geniuses among geniuses.

It would be even better if it could be used by Ming Dynasty.

Besides, sixty or seventy years would be enough for the Ming Dynasty to develop into an empire on which the sun never sets.

As a global empire, all kinds of talents from all over the world should not be spared.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Well, I am talking about these two people, Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler, who was added by Roosevelt. This should not only be considered a great ordinary person of my time, but also a great figure of the Roosevelts' time, right? 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Yeah! They are recognized as great scientists who have influenced the world! Count it, definitely count it! 】

Roosevelt guaranteed.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: His Majesty Louis XVI has finished speaking, and the next one is President Jefferson. President Jefferson, have you thought about who you want to talk to? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: Let me talk about a person who may not be very famous, Sir Robert Morley, the first president of the Royal Society and one of the founders of the Royal Society. In 1660, they promoted the founding of the Royal Society. …Then the royal family began to take science seriously, and there was a formal institution that could accommodate the free thinking of scientists. 】

[Scientists such as Newton and Hooke later joined the Royal Society of Science...]

[Subsequently, a series of official scientific institutions supported by kings such as the French Royal Academy of Sciences and the Berlin Academy of Sciences were established in various parts of Europe. This brought together people with fantastic ideas from all over the world, and this inspired the entire West to advocate science and believe in science. , a good learning atmosphere that respects science has promoted the development of science in the world. 】

[Of course, this credit can actually be attributed to the Happy King Charles II, who agreed and approved the establishment of the Royal Society. 】

Jefferson talked about a relatively unknown person, and he didn't know if he was a famous person.

But what they did, founding the Royal Society, was very influential.

Then, compared to this unknown president, Charles II became more famous.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Jefferson, you are talking about the British Royal Academy of Sciences... I don't agree with it. It is obvious that our French Royal Academy was established earlier and plays a better role! This credit was first conceived by my great-great-grandfather, Louis XIV. 】

It was the British who walked in front again, and Louis XVI couldn't help but want to fight.

[Mei Taizong Jefferson: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! His Majesty Louis XVI, your France is number one in the world... Anyway, that's what I mean! First of all, the country must recognize that science is a productive force and respect wisdom! Then our world became what it is now. Speaking of people, I can only think of these founders. 】

[I don’t know if my answer is consistent with it. As for other people... I can’t think of it for the moment, and I don’t know much about Dongfang. 】

Jefferson did not confront Louis XVI and ended his topic.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: It is true... The gathering effect of the Royal Society has promoted the development of world science. The scientists who joined this society have really affected the world. 】

Cleveland had to admit Jefferson's idea.

He looked at the influence of promoting scientific development from the official perspective, and almost wiped out all the scientists behind him.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Yes! From the creation of the scientific system...King Charles II was here, and he had an influence on the whole world. 】

Roosevelt also acknowledged that Jefferson had a unique vision.

Therefore, this person can be ignored.

But this kind of system and institution that absorbs all the smart people in the world cannot be ignored, right?

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: I also understand what Jefferson meant. The person you are talking about, Jefferson, mainly established the Royal Academy of Sciences, which was similar to gathering all the smart people in the world together. The royal family recognized their status or gave them a share of official positions. Kind of a pattern, right? 】

Zhu Houzhao only thought of this kind of institution, their Qintian Prison.

But what Jefferson and the others said clearly did not include the Qintian Prison.

[American Taizong Jefferson: Yes! This is what you understand, Your Majesty Li... If we want wisdom to lead the world trend and promote the direction of history, we need the royal family to establish this kind of system, not only to bring the smart people from all over the world together... but also to provide them with all kinds of strange ideas. Resources and possibilities for the realization of wonderful ideas, so that they will be fruitful. 】

[Of course, this smart person has two other meanings... One is a really smart person, and the other may look like a madman. This kind of person may also be a genius! 】

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I understand, I understand... When my world is stable, I will also establish a Datang Academy of Sciences. 】

The idea given by Jefferson is much more useful than simply listing the most influential figures.

Zhu Houzhao secretly adopted it.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: So, President Jefferson didn’t have anyone to add, right? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: No more. 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay, now it’s time for President Jackson. Who do you think is the most influential person? 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: I don’t know if they are great, but I feel... they will be great in the future. 】

Jackson was silent for a while and said something uncertain.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Oh, President Jackson, maybe we can identify who you want to talk about. 】

Cleveland encouraged.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Well, what I want to say is actually our founding father, Mr. Benjamin Franklin. In addition to helping us found the United States, he also made another discovery... He seemed to have discovered the use of electricity and invented lightning rod. 】

[Then... there is also the British scientist Michael Faraday. They seem to be promoting the development of the world... Especially, not long ago... Samuel Morse, a local scientist in the United States, demonstrated to me a Using electric current to transmit information, I feel, this may change the world. 】

Jackson carefully named two people he felt would impact the world.

Because, during his period, a major invention came out.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: President Jackson, you... are a little scary! I know what you want to say! Are you talking about the telegram? 】

[The telegraph is definitely a great invention that affects the world! The use of electric current will definitely affect the entire world! 】

Cleveland immediately filled him in, knowing what Jackson wanted to say.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Wait... lightning, thunder and lightning? what? 】【American Taizu·Washington: Telegraph, the use of electric current? what? Franklin's lightning kite experiment brought lightning rods? 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: We already have lightning rods here... 】

Louis XVI was a little unfamiliar with electricity. Washington was aware of the experiments of his good friend Franklin, but Zhu Houzhao thought it was just a simple lightning rod.

The history of electricity can be traced back to the sixth century BC, when ancient Greek scholars observed the phenomenon of frictional electrification.

The British discovered around 1700 that matter could be divided into conductors and insulators.

Around 1745, von Kleist and Mussenbrock independently invented the earliest capacitor Leyden jar.

In June 1752, the self-taught Benjamin Franklin conducted a famous kite experiment.

In 1753 Jean-Antoine Nolay invented an electrostatic generator.

In 1800, Count Alexander Volta made the first battery by soaking copper and zinc sheets in salt water and connecting them to wires.

In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.

Then electricity was used to transmit information. In 1832, the Russian diplomat Schilling built a machine that used the deflection of the galvanometer pointer to receive information.

In 1835, after three years of study, the American painter Morse successfully used the "on and off" and "length" of electric current to replace human words for transmission. This is the famous Morse code, the first telegraph. The machine comes out.

In June 1837, the British young man Cook obtained the first patent for the telegraph invention.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Everyone... this thing about electricity may be really unfamiliar to you! But I can briefly say that we can use thunder and lightning in the sky! 】

[Then... we can also produce electricity that is less powerful than lightning. 】

[Based on the characteristics of lightning, scientists have used it for information transmission. 】

[In 1835, our American painter Morse invented the Morse code, and then based on the Morse code, he invented the telegraph! 】

[The emergence of the telegraph machine accelerated the speed of information exchange among us humans! 】

[Subsequently, based on this principle, the telephone also appeared, further shortening and speeding up our communication time! 】

Cleveland started introducing it directly to everyone.

[Merezu Louis XVI: Well... Morse code, telegraph... what's the phone? 】

This introduction cannot be said to be useful, at least it can be said that it has no effect at all.

Louis XVI and Washington naturally couldn't understand it.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell silent.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, let me explain, it’s very simple! Just now, His Majesty Louis XVI, you mentioned...the telescope allows us to see the rocks on the surface of the moon clearly. Then, these telegraph machines and telephones can directly allow us to hear each other's voices thousands of miles apart. 】

[It allows...the two to be separated by thousands of miles and hear each other's voice. 】

[No, no, no...my explanation is too troublesome! Let’s use our chat group to explain... Chat groups allow us to exchange information together at different times and in different time and space without any barriers. 】

[Everyone can experience the communication effect here, right? 】

Cleveland explained, starting with a chat group as an example.

[Telegraph... is a tool that lets others know what you said at the same time and space in different places! 】

[Just like delivering messages on horseback and lighting beacon towers in ancient times, we know the message. 】

[The emergence of the telegraph... directly shortened the communication time! A battle report! It may take three days, five days, and ten days to deliver a message on horseback, but...using telegraph, it only takes a blink of an eye to send frontline battle reports to the rear thousands of miles away. 】

[This is the telegram! The equivalent of a messenger’s horse! But now the messenger rode a horse made of lightning, almost whinnied... and delivered the letter to everyone! 】

[This is elementary information transmission! 】

[Advanced information transmission is our chat group! 】

[But our chat group is too advanced... Its functions don't even have to be so magical. Just imagine... If we were in the same world and had this chat group for information transfer and exchange, how terrifying would it be! 】

[Your Majesty Louis XVI, you don’t leave the Palace of Versailles. As long as His Majesty Napoleon is in the group, you can directly direct His Majesty Napoleon to fight thousands of miles away from point to point. Is it equivalent to being on the front line? 】

Finally, when it comes to the practical stuff, Cleveland even gave everyone an idea of ​​the terrifying uses of chat groups.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: This...]

[American Taizu Washington: The function of this telegram... is equivalent to someone else having this chat group in another location? Can information be obtained from a distance? 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: Can human communication ignore distance? In fact, the development of science...is exaggerated enough to allow human communication methods to communicate directly regardless of space and time? 】

This time, everyone understood, and the experience of using the chat group was the biggest proof.

[Meili Zong Grant: The transmission of information shortens the time! Folks, this is what I'm talking about...the escalation of war! Because this communication method, which is equivalent to a chat group, makes our frontline generals... almost become the hands of the king, and it is impossible to have too much autonomy. 】

Grant also stood up and added this point.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: It seems... I don’t need to say anything anymore! I don’t need to say more about the greatness of Franklin and Morse? What I want to say is the shortening of information communication time...]

[But what you said in Cleveland... chat groups are also a faster way to communicate and exchange information...]

[This makes me fearful of science. In the future... can science really do it, allowing us people from different time and space to communicate together, or even transmit items? 】

[And this chat group given to us by the group owner... is just a new way of communication for humans in the future? 】

Jackson even took this... to directly suspect that chat groups can also be artificially created.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Indeed...so, group leader. We can chat together... and the functions are still being added one after another. Does this mean that... this chat group is a new communication mode for human beings in the future, and we are just like a group of guinea pigs experiencing telegraphs and telephones? client? 】

At this point in the discussion, Cleveland couldn't help but test Zhu Houzhao again.

Because the advent of the telegraph improved the way of communication, Louis XVI and others could not understand it, nor could they even imagine it.

Using this simple principle to infer, the chat group is obviously just another slightly more advanced and magical way of communication, but it only achieves its goal in a way that they cannot understand or imagine.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Indeed! Inferring from this logic, chat groups...maybe they will be a new form of communication in the future? It's just that... crossing space and time is still a bit too exaggerated. Is it really possible for future scientists to do it? 】

The emergence of the topic of telegraphy involves the discussion of the transition of communication methods.

Inevitably, let them put aside a trace of fog and see the essence.

Especially for people like Grant, Cleveland, and Roosevelt, who had already seen the new way of communication.

But...Roosevelt found it hard to imagine that communication could span time, which obviously went against scientific common sense.

But standing in the era of technological explosion in the 20th century, he had to doubt it.

At this moment, the group was quiet.

Zhu Houzhao has obviously suffered the biggest crisis since the founding of the group, and the true nature of the group is about to be exposed.
