"You're here?" Shang Wu was making a magnet call. If this thing is made, it will play a big, big role on the battlefield. That's a big deal. Shang Wu is very attentive to this. Because Shang Wu also sensed that communication on the battlefield was not convenient enough. This made Shang Wu feel that if he continued like this, it would be very disadvantageous, and the magnet phone was invented under such conditions. Of course. Shang Wu also has some selfish intentions, he hopes that through the demand for these electrical appliances, generators and motors will be manufactured on a larger scale, so that their development speed can be faster. This is a completely new model of development.
However, the wisdom of ancient craftsmen should not be underestimated. As long as there is a series of incentives, they tend to have amazing inventions.
For example, Shang Wu found a young craftsman named Li Zhi. He was a carpenter, a very thin man, but this man was ingenious, and in the words of the craftsmen, his hands were like women's hands, but he was not at all vague in his work. Very well done.
This craftsman of Li Zhi has seen the invention of the steam engine. He made many improvements, and instead of using a piston to drive, he boldly made a wooden steam turbine. This greatly exceeds the imagination of the martial arts. Shang Wu thought that this was impossible, but the wisdom of the ancient craftsmen greatly exceeded his understanding. On the spot, Shang Wu thought that Li Zhi could become a senior engineer. Indeed, because he was ingenious. Wooden steam turbines. It was definitely not an easy thing to do, but he had such a bold idea. This made Shangwu feel that he had dug up a treasure.
The remuneration of senior engineers is quite generous. In the words of the martial arts, this is a national treasure. The treatment is only higher than that of him, the highest officer.
Such a treatment greatly stimulated more craftsmen to invent their ingenuity.
"Hehe, that's the only Mr. Jia like this, who can only enter and leave your laboratory freely." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"What's the matter here? Is there something bad happening in Luoyang? It's still the Hedong region, which has let us withdraw our troops again. Shang Wu said.
"No, I'm here to ask for something for a few boys from the Xiaoer family at the entrance of the East Village. And they complained to me, saying, Sir, you stole their magnets. I wonder if there's such a thing, sir? Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Yes. Yes. I didn't give them some notebooks, pens or anything, I also bought them rice cakes to eat. Swap a few magnets. I think it's okay. "Shang Wu worked hard.
"Huh." When Jia Xu heard Shang Wu's explanation, he smiled hehe. He knows. If Shang Wu encounters something good, he will definitely get it. Sometimes, Shang Wu is quite like a child. Therefore, Jia Xu dealt with it by the way.
"Oh. I gave them some money by the way. Buy some rice cakes to eat so they can find you some magnets. I don't know what you're looking for magnets for. But if you use such a large piece of oil all at once, it must be useful, so I will ask you to find it. Jia Xu said.
"Oh. Thank you so much. Shang Wu finally made a pair of magnet phones.
"What? Let me see your gizmo? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"Hmm. Give it a try, you take this and go to the front of the war department. I'll take this, and the two of us will be able to talk. Of course, within a certain distance, if the distance is too far, you need a switch, and there are all kinds of repeaters. Anyway, it's very troublesome. Shang Wu said on the phone.
"What is this?" Jia Xu asked curiously.
"Telephone, in this way, we can communicate on the battlefield with this communication. For example, if an infantry position is connected to an artillery position, the artillery will be able to open fire. There is also the cutting edge. Wait a minute. In addition, there are generators, we can't use batteries all the time, and the speed of sulfuric acid production can't keep up with the speed of consumption. It's too big. Shang Wu said.
"Hmm. What can I do with this question? Jia Xu asked.
"The problem is to make some generators that can send out electricity, and with electricity, many of our problems can be solved." Shang Wu said.
"Do you need magnets?" Jia Xu asked.
"Yes, we need magnets, a lot of magnets, this number is very large, so big that it is surprisingly large, so that many of our things can be solved." Shang Wu said.
"Hmm. I understand. Jia Xu nodded and said.
"I'm here because I should have a lot of new things to use. The machine factory has been able to manufacture some boiler equipment. They can use a steam engine to use it. Jia Xu said. Boiler technology uses rivet technology, and such a situation can be achieved with a large number of rivets.
But there are still certain problems with the tightness of rivets. In some cases where necessary, they will use hemp to strengthen the seal. In addition to this, they will also use some animal glue to make the sealing material. Arguably, in the absence of rubber, this is the best they have come up with. It is also such ingenuity, a large number of engineers solved a lot of problems in detail, and the steam engine can be used on a certain scale.
"Hmm. Yes, I think, it should be extended to the Hedong area. In the Hedong region, we should also give them a huge shock effect, let them know what kind of benefits such development has, and how much development they can bring. In short, drinking too much will become more effective for us. Shang Wu said.
"I agree." Jia Xu said.
"Some local officials believe that they also need some technical support, if they are simply transferred from us, it will take some time, and at the same time is not conducive to the cultivation of talents, they hope to be able to establish a few good schools in Hedong, such as technical colleges, similar to military academies." Jia Xu said.
"Agree, not only in Hedong, but also in Luzhou, we can't be limited to technology, for example, we also need talents in other aspects, we need management, news reporting, and a large number of technical talents, in addition, literature, poetry, opera can also be specially cultivated. Of course. In terms of laboratories, I would suggest that the industry, the government, and the school work together to solve the funding problem, and we should see that without these things, it will have a great impact on us. Shang Wu said.
"When solving problems, we should actively start from other aspects, such as solving some difficult problems technically." Shang Wu said.
"Hmm. In addition to this, there is finance. In this area, we all use wild roads, or come out halfway. There is still a great demand for such talents. You're talking about how many people we're going to need in the future. In this case, there will be a great demand for us. Jia Xu said.
"Yes, that's right, that's one aspect as well." Shang Wu said.
"We should see a situation where we can't get more talent support, and the only way is to train our own talents, besides, what we need is technical talents, and management talents have businessmen to come out. What we need to adjust is the system. Shang Wu said helplessly.
There is no way, Shang Wu will form a great contrast with some landlords in terms of land, although they can do such a thing in conjunction with the bank, but on the issue of completely abolishing slavery and giving greater suffrage to citizens, there is still no consensus on the issue, not only that, the republican army cannot represent orthodoxy. Because they were born as bandits, they first evolved from the Red Turban Army.
In the eyes of many big landowners, the Red Turban Army is equivalent to the same armed as the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, it is very difficult to get the support of talents in this field.
This also causes the only way for martial arts to do such things by cultivating a large number of their own talents, relying on civilians, businessmen, and many of them are the objects of discrimination, and many things are very helpless.
But these also basically constituted the basic elements of the development of the Republican Army.
Without these, Shangwu would not be able to do such a thing, so in such a situation, many things must be done.
The establishment of a large number of new schools, especially for the common people, to a certain extent, had a strong impact on the landlord and gentry classes.
It's just that this is just the beginning, and the strength of their impact is still not very strong. But as time goes on, the impact becomes stronger and stronger.
Then Shang Wu and Jia Xu experimented with the phone, and the effect was not bad, although there were some noises, but this was also an inevitable lack of a situation, in such a situation, they really needed to solve a lot of problems.
The advent of the telephone inevitably brought with it another revolutionary demand, electricity.
It is not possible to simply use batteries to solve the problem of electricity, and the emergence of electricity has greatly caused a lot of deviations in many ideas of the ancients. In such a case. The impact of electricity will promote greater development, which is very large and very considerable. If the IRA can master such a force, their development is limitless.
In contrast, the imperial court has only a preliminary understanding of electricity, although they are in a large historical stage, but the republican army has the momentum to surpass, they need to accumulate such strength, waiting to break through all obstacles. They can develop more advantageously. This is a good situation.
