In particular, Lin Ziran, the emperor of the Daheng Empire, knew the importance of electrification better than anyone else today, so he began to lay out research in the field of electrification early.

From the sporadic layout in the early years, to the later integration of a number of electrical enterprises such as Jingzhou Electric and Luohai Electric, and then to the focus on supporting a number of large enterprises in recent years, in this process, the electrification of the Daheng Empire has developed very rapidly.

Last year, Jingzhou Electric Co., Ltd. cooperated with eight companies such as Dezhou Cable and Ansu Precision Electric to launch a package of electric power solutions for industrial production to major enterprises, providing electric power for all kinds of high-tech enterprises that need stability and efficiency to replace the previous steam engine power.

As long as the company places an order, the eight electrical companies led by Jingzhou Electric Company can provide a series of modern electrical facilities from power generation equipment to power transmission equipment, electric equipment, lighting equipment and so on.

Although this electrification solution is expensive, the increase in production efficiency is very obvious, and this aspect is the most important for the Daheng Empire.

What is electrification?

But it is not just the light and telegraph, the core element is the application of electricity, and then the increase in productivity, its role is not in the electric light in the home, but in the electrical equipment used for production in the factory.

And in this field, the Great Heng Empire can proudly say that we have been at the forefront.

When a small number of factories have begun to use electrical equipment for production, another electrification equipment that Lin Ziran attaches great importance to has also seen the dawn of application after years of research and development.

This is wireless telegraphy!

In May of the 13th year of the reign of Qiansheng, the Royal Telegraph Company conducted the first wireless telegraph transmission test and achieved success, although the test distance was only 500 meters, but this did not affect the great significance of the success of this test.

After learning the news, Lin Ziran personally went to inspect and watched their second test, this time the test was divided into two parts, one part was the 500-meter test of the original equipment, which was used to guarantee the bottom.

But in addition, they have built another set of equipment, and this time the test distance has been directly increased to ten kilometers.

There is no doubt that both trials were successful, and the trial information was sent and then accepted.

After seeing the successful research and development of wireless telegraph equipment with his own eyes, Lin Ziran was very excited, and instructed on the spot to intensify efforts to continue research and development, and strive to realize the practical application of wireless telegraph equipment as soon as possible.

Only a month later, the R&D department of the Royal Telegraph Company had already come up with a wireless telegraph with a communication distance of 50 kilometers, although this communication distance was still relatively limited, but it already had practical use value.

Soon, the navy took the lead in placing an order to purchase a number of them for experimental use, and they were going to install wireless telegraph sets on warships for communication between fleets.

However, the navy actually prefers to be able to obtain ultra-long-range wireless telegraphy with a larger communication distance, preferably thousands of kilometers, or even global communications.

In this regard, the Royal Telegraph Company naturally promised to continue research and development, and said that the current telegraph with a communication distance of 50 kilometers is only the initial model, and after mass production, it is expected that the communication distance can be increased to 100 kilometers, and this can definitely meet the needs of the naval fleet.

As for ultra-long-distance telegraph equipment, the telegraph company is also in the process of developing it, and expects the first long-distance communication time to be carried out in September.

At that time, the Royal Telegraph Company will set up ultra-long-distance radio communication systems in Jingzhou and Luohai respectively for ultra-long-distance telegraph experiments, and once the tests are successful, then the equipment will be quickly popularized.

Once wireless telegraphy can be mass-produced and equipped, it will bring great tactical advantages to the military communications of the Great Heng Empire.

In the future, when the fleet goes to sea, the empire itself will be able to communicate with the fleet by wireless telegraph at any time, and there will be no need to send ships to shore to transmit any information if it wants to transmit any information, and transmit the message through cable telegraph.

At the same time, after the fleet is deployed, the ships in the fleet can also use wireless telegraphy to communicate, which can be more convenient, more effective, and longer than light signals and flags.

Therefore, the successful development of wireless telegraphy still has a certain strategic and tactical price for the improvement of the military strength of the Daheng Empire.

However, Lin Ziran only paid attention to one or two in the first few days, and it didn't take long to divert his attention, because it didn't take long for wireless telegraphy to be successfully developed, and the first gasoline internal combustion engine of the Daheng Empire was also successfully developed.

In this regard, Lin Ziran paid more attention.

This is an internal combustion engine, and in the future, cars, tanks, and so on will have to rely on it.

Lin Ziran felt that if this development was mature, maybe he would be able to get a car out in the next few years.

In the past, although the empire also had gas internal combustion engines, no one was so bold as to dare to use gas internal combustion engines to build cars.

Now the successful development of gasoline internal combustion engines means that the era of automobiles will be completely gone.

And the automobile will be a major area for the Great Heng Empire to overtake other countries in corners!

In the thirteenth year of Qiansheng, a lot of good news came in a row, which made Lin Ziran and other high-level officials of the empire temporarily draw their attention back to China from abroad, after all, it is not as good as developing at home to make things outside.

Besides, in fact, in terms of the abundant resources, population and industrial scale of the Great Heng Empire, it is a huge supply of raw materials and a consumer market for industrial products.

It can even be said to be the largest single market in the world, if the internal market is done well and the internal demand is increased, then it will be able to reduce the dependence on international trade, even if a war breaks out, the internal economy of the empire will not be affected too much!

In recent years, the international trade of the Daheng Empire has increased year by year, but to a certain extent, this is actually the gradual increase in the dependence of the Daheng Empire on international trade.

When it was just unified, the Daheng Navy dared to bombard the battleships of the Krull Kingdom Navy, in addition to being bold, it also had nothing to do with the Daheng Empire at that time, and it was not afraid of the blockade.

But now, the annual total import and export volume of 4 billion Heng Yuan is no longer able to tolerate the same nonsense as the Great Heng Empire back then, and even has to spend huge energy to maintain this kind of international trade, just like the original Lieji Incident, if it were not for the trade conflict, the Great Heng Empire would not have been able to go to the southwest continent to go on an expedition.

At the same time, the sense of crisis in the empire is relatively strong, and many high-ranking members of the empire believe that sooner or later there will be a big war between the empire and other countries!

Either with Olisa or with Krull, or with other nations uniting against the Great Heng Empire.

And this kind of worry has risen to a new height in the thirteenth year of Qiansheng.

In November of the thirteenth year of Qiansheng, the Imperial Intelligence Department received news that when the Prime Minister of the Olisa Empire sent an envoy to the Krull Kingdom, he not only discussed ordinary matters, but also tried to sign a military alliance treaty with the Krull Kingdom!

Although it is not yet possible to know the specific terms of this military alliance treaty, and it is not known whether the two countries have actually signed it, but since they have received relevant news, and these two countries are enemies or potential enemies of the Daheng Empire, the military alliance agreement between them is most likely aimed at the Daheng Empire.

This potential military alliance treaty made the entire Daheng Empire feel threatened.

The threat of war!
