I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 193 Zhu Houzhao: Everyone will have a chat group in the future? Lincoln: Steam engines and trains!

Light indeed travels faster than sound.

Zhu Houzhao easily accepted this point of view, and Cleveland cut in from the beacon of war and directly faced his major.

Because the Ming Dynasty's transmission of military information became more sophisticated.

In the beacon tower communication, the Ming Dynasty implemented the system of five beacons and above, and used materials such as sulfur and saltpeter plus the sound of cannons to make the transmission of military information more rapid and accurate.

If the number of enemies is between 500, 1000 and more than 5000, raise one beacon and fire one cannon; if there are more than 10000 people, use two beacons and fire two cannons; if there are more than people, use three beacons and fire three cannons; if there are more than people, fire four beacons. Four cannons; more than people, five beacons and five cannons.

This is simple information utilization of sound and light.

Here, Zhu Houzhao certainly has a good reputation.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: The information transmission methods we use in the West are similar. 】

[This simple information transmission in the form of military information formed the early and most advanced information transmission system in our East and West. Commonly used in the military. 】

[Later, with the development of time, humans had paper and writing, and letters were produced. Rather than simply using fire, light, and smoke to convey information. The amount of information that the letter can convey is greater, but the speed is still not as good as the beacon tower. Compared to the speed of sound and light, the horse's running speed is still slower. 】

[Before the development of productivity, horses, boats, birds, etc. were commonly used as messengers in the East and the West. Birds are probably the fastest messengers. 】

[Then...how to transmit information the fastest? 】

[Presidents and Your Majesties, you might as well imagine that apart from messengers such as birds and horses, what other things are there in our daily lives that can deliver messages relatively quickly. Not asking for a lot of information, just the simplest word: enemy. The word needs to be delivered accurately and quickly. 】

Cleveland was trying to generate interaction and see how well people would take it.

He said it so simply, no one should be confused.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Faster than birds and horses... Wind? sound? lightning? But these, the instability factors are too high, and the information cannot be accurately transmitted. 】

Louis XVI thought for a moment and could not think of a more stable and accurate carrier for information transmission than horses and birds.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I...can’t even think of it. The only quickest way is still to build beacon towers from the border... to the imperial capital or important cities. This should be the fastest. 】

Zhu Houzhao couldn't think of any faster way besides this.

China has a vast territory and rich resources, so the only way to do this is to resort to this stupid method of overhauling infrastructure.

[American Taizu Washington: Could it be light... lightning? Have you mastered the method of lightning communication? Cleveland, come on. I feel like it's unimaginable. 】

Huge cognitive barriers prevent them from imagining more advanced delivery methods.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Okay. We have indeed mastered a lightning communication method, and if we want to help everyone understand it...it's actually not easy. But let me cite a phenomenon... On thundery and rainy days, especially when the lightning is relatively strong, sometimes... a bolt of lightning strikes, have you ever noticed... that the hair on your body will stand up unconsciously? 】

Cleveland tried to lead in terms everyone could understand.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Yes! 】

[American Taizu Washington: Of course I discovered it. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: There is such a thing. 】

Zhu Houzhao also responded positively.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: That lightning rod... Your Majesty Li, you must have one too. On thundery and rainy days, high-rise buildings are easily struck by lightning. Your Eastern palace should have a lightning protection design. 】

[Tang Xizong Li Xuan: Of course...]

Zhu Houzhao answered patiently.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Your Majesty Li, have you noticed that... the lightning rod must be made of iron... wood or the like will not work. Does this mean that lightning travels faster in iron...]

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: Yes. 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: In fact...this is easy to understand! All you need to know is that we have mastered the method of making lightning and used the principle that thunder and lightning will make our human hair stand on end to discover another method of electrical communication. 】

[We have produced thunder and lightning, which is less powerful! 】

[The emergence of electricity can make people feel their hair standing on end from a distance. 】

[Does it mean that we only need to be on the ground...if there is thunder and lightning around a person, his hair will stand on end, and he will know a message that he has been electrocuted. Then, at a distance of more than ten meters, the message is conveyed to a person more than ten meters away by shouting. This can be regarded as completing the transmission of a thunder and lightning message. 】

[Furthermore... we take advantage of the propagation characteristics of lightning in iron and directly pour the electricity we create... into the iron wire. Can we transmit the information to the next person hundreds of meters or kilometers away at once? 】

[By the way! This feeling of being electrocuted... Your Majesty, Li Xuan, have you experienced it too? It's... when you touch the blanket in winter, there is some small electric current. 】

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: This...this kind of electricity is also thunder and lightning? Have you collected this kind of electricity? 】

As soon as the physical phenomenon of static electricity appeared, Zhu Houzhao understood it all.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Yes! We have captured electricity, just like we trapped fire with a stove. We have used fire energy to keep warm. We have used the characteristics of electricity to transmit quickly in iron to invent new ways of communication. 】

[And the speed of electricity transmission in iron is...very fast! It’s almost the speed at which sunlight reaches the earth…and our eyes look into the distance! 】

[The human body will react when it senses electricity! 】

[The new information transmission method we use... is to stand on a stretch of road that is as straight as possible, at a distance of one hundred meters or one thousand meters. Between these people, there is a wire about the size of a hair. Connected... Then, the first person discharges electricity once, and the next person... feels electric. If it is discharged twice, he feels electric twice. 】

[Is this the same as the beacon tower summons? 】

[But wire is more convenient than beacon tower! 】

[We only need to replace each person of several hundred meters with a tree trunk... pull the wire, and extend it indefinitely, to a thousand miles, ten thousand miles... and then input electricity at the beginning... input electricity at intervals or continuously, then Can convey information. We correspond them to text based on the length and frequency of the electrical input. Two electric shocks are a word, three electric shocks are a word... After we receive the message, it is translated by the deciphering table and becomes a message! This is also the process by which our American scientist Morse invented the Morse code...]

[The telegram...that’s how it came about! 】

Yes, isn't this exactly the same as the Ming Dynasty's nine-sided beacon communication? [When the enemy comes from a thousand miles away, we don't need the beacon tower. Directly using electricity... to transmit information back to the headquarters through this thousand miles of wire. The speed of electricity, as I said, is basically the speed at which our eyes see objects... Therefore, it often takes less than two blinks to transmit information from a thousand or ten thousand miles away! 】

[This is the telegram! 】

[The same goes for phone calls! We invented a device that collected the sounds we made, and then converted our sounds into electrical signals, which were transmitted through this long wire to the other end, a thousand or ten thousand miles away! It has been achieved... His Majesty Louis XVI, you are in Paris and President Washington is in Washington. You can have direct conversations with almost no delay! It’s equivalent to a conversation that ignores distance! 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: This is the way information is transmitted between people in our era. You only need to pass a long enough wire to have a conversation! As for radio...it uses similar principles. Anyway, as science liberates productivity, communication between people has become faster and is no longer limited by distance. 】

[The circuit formed by the iron wire...is equivalent to the roads built by the empire to various places~]

[Electricity has become a messenger that is a thousand times, ten thousand times, and a hundred thousand times faster than horses and birds. 】

Cleveland finally finished.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: What? You...you can communicate and pass on information in this way! What I say in Paris can be heard in Washington in the blink of an eye? 】

This explanation is stupid enough.

If Louis XVI did not understand, he would really become a fool.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: No, you, you, you can convey information like this! Really clairvoyant... wouldn't it be possible for me to talk to people in Chang'an instantly in Jinling? Convey my will? 】

Zhu Houzhao finally understood. After understanding, he was even more surprised.

He couldn't imagine that the way people would convey information in the future would be so exaggerated.

[American Taizu Washington: So...this is the masterpiece of your future scientists. They allow our words to reach the other side of the ocean. Then... people in the future almost invented chat groups based on this principle. Let us... ignore the distance and make it easier to chat together? 】

Washington not only understood, but also suddenly thought of the principle of chat groups.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Indeed, if the submarine cable is successfully installed, I can chat with everyone and talk to Queen Victoria at the same time. You know, it took the Mayflower sixty-six days to arrive in the United States, and it took more than a hundred days to send a message back and forth. Now...it only takes a blink of an eye. 】

Cleveland once again offers an example.

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while, and now he finally understood why Cleveland and the others could guess such a magical method of transmitting information in chat groups. It was not a miracle, but made by humans.

People can now make calls with people thousands of miles away without delay.

It seems easy to think of another way to get these people together to chat.

Outrageous.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: No, I... I can't accept it! Hundreds of years from now, thousands of years from now...will you use this method of communication? Everyone has a chat group and can send pictures, does that mean... we can also send what we see with our eyes! 】

Zhu Houzhao even understood the video and recording functions in the chat group.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Almost! The telephone was indeed made by scientists. Although it did not appear for a long time... But its value, I think, will definitely be as popular as our writing letters in the future. It is not impossible for everyone to use one. ...]

[As for the chat group provided by the group owner...it is naturally a more advanced communication method than telegraph and telephone. Just by crossing the time between the past and the future, I feel... maybe it is not impossible for us to go hundreds or even thousands of years from here. 】

[Your Majesty Li, if you look at the way our telephones and telegrams were delivered a thousand years ago, it may be the same as us standing here and look at the way chat groups will deliver their chats a thousand years later. 】

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Okay...I understand the bottom line of the group leader. 】

[American Taizong Jefferson: I understand too. 】

[Mercerson Roosevelt: So...are the group leaders also equivalent to the human scientists of the next thousand years after us? 】

At this moment, everyone in the group deeply understood the nature of the chat group.

[Supreme Group Leader: This topic ends here. 】

Zhu Houzhao decisively ended the discussion on the chat group.

Now he knew better why these people speculated that he was a person thousands of years in the future.

[Mercy Lincoln: In this way, Mr. Franklin, whom President Jackson mentioned, and Samuel Morse, our American citizen, can indeed be regarded as great figures who changed the world and influenced the world. Their influence in the field of human information can even change the way people communicate, right? 】

Lincoln also changed the topic and brought the topic back on track.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: They are definitely two outstanding representatives in this field. Naturally, they are also inseparable from representative scientists such as Faraday and Coulomb. They have all contributed to the study of electric current. 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Yes, as President Jefferson said, first the official establishment of the Academy of Sciences, and then... After hundreds of years of development, the science produced by scientists has profoundly affected and changed the world, and they have led the world. As trends develop, they also represent the horror of human wisdom. 】

Both Cleveland and Roosevelt reiterated the importance of science.

The official establishment of the Academy of Sciences, hundreds of years of development...

Zhu Houzhao firmly remembered the key to this. The science of Ming Dynasty obviously started with the establishment of the Academy of Sciences.

For example...this kind of electricity!

Creating and using thunder and lightning can actually shorten people's communication time. Its military and strategic significance is self-evident.

Combined with what Grant said about the shifting of war decision-making power, he understood even more.

With this kind of instant communication, he could indeed command the front line from Jinling.

[Mercy Lincoln: Well, it seems that the two people President Jackson talked about have been accepted by everyone. Then the next person, it’s my turn, right? The two people President Jackson mentioned were based on faster communication. So...the two people I nominated are from the field of faster movement! 】

[The two people I am talking about...the first is James Watt. He improved the first practical steam engine and added power to our transportation. After a series of major improvements, he developed In our new era of human utilization of energy, we can be regarded as the father of industrial development. 】

[The second person was also Englishman George Stephenson, who invented the train! The emergence of trains... has greatly changed the mode of land transportation of goods and people. On the other hand, it has also promoted the development of industry. 】

In order, Lincoln also named two people who had great influence on the world.

　It’s a new month, please vote for me! Please continue to support! This time, Xiao Zhu was completely overwhelmed by the chat!
