Chapter 957 Communication

***

The Internal Supervision R&D Department has developed a generator and an incandescent lamp cannon, which really makes Qin Mu very happy.

Although from the current level of technology, the electric lamp is estimated to be put into practical use There is still a long process, now can only use the steam engine as the power, with the energy generator to generate electricity, the practicability is not high, at least in the short term it is difficult to put into civilian use.

But it is undeniable that the development of electric light in this era is already a miracle.

After returning to the Pujia Palace, Qin Mu decided to allocate 10,000 dragon coins from the inner treasury to establish a Shengguang Electric Appliance Co., Ltd.

This company is of course a royal holding, and if the industrial revolution can advance smoothly, after the rise of the capitalist class, Daqin may finally enter a capitalist society with a constitutional monarchy. At that time, these companies would be the royal inheritance, and he would leave them to future generations.

In this day and age, what are the procedures required to set up a company? The answer is that there is no formality.

Qin Mu remembered that later generations were shouting every day about reducing government and delegating power, and what negative power list was implemented. He suddenly had a sense of superiority, Daqin, is the real free economic society.

Here, except for a small number of industries stipulated by the government (such as salt and iron monopolies), you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to go to a lot of departments such as industrial and commercial taxation, and the result is that you can't get approval for more than three years.

In Daqin, as long as you have money, technology, ideas, and enthusiasm, you can get a façade at will, open your workshop, run your factory, and establish your company.

Only when you have an output will the tax supervisor of Daqin find you.

It has to be said that Confucianism has indeed made great contributions in guiding the moral atmosphere of society.

Nowadays, people are more credibility and reputation, especially businessmen, most of whom have not signed a contract, have no contract, and mainly rely on their own reputation when trading.

This kind of credibility behavior is not only common in China. Even abroad, it is also recognized by others.

It is said that in the past, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to the Nanyang countries to trade, and because of their credit, the locals even dared to give things to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty on credit. When the merchants of the Ming Dynasty encountered a storm on their way back, their goods were lost, and they had to borrow money to pay off their debts on credit.

Not to mention others who have made money. The second time I went to Nanyang, I also paid back the money I owed on credit.

This phenomenon is not an isolated phenomenon, but a relatively common existence, which is unimaginable in the later generations when they were mercenary.

There are many "time-honored brands" on the market now. This kind of "time-honored brand" cherishes its own signboard very much, regards quality as life, and operates with integrity. In the 21st century, people are even eating the old books of "time-honored brands", but I don't know how many of those "time-honored brands" are true.

Of course, there are unscrupulous businessmen, but there are relatively few of them. So when it comes to regulatory approvals, it's much easier and more free.

At present, the royal family already has a soap factory, a perfume factory, a steam engine factory, a painting and embroidery factory, a spinning machine factory, a rococo garment factory, and holds a 30% stake in Xu Yongshun's ocean-going trading company.

Now add a Shengguang Electric Company, and add it up. It's also very interesting.

As the manager of the R&D Department, Han Zanzhou naturally won a lot of rewards, and he was happy to smile.

Although the emperor has not officially banned eunuchs, the inner palace has used more female officials. and no new eunuchs were received. The group of eunuchs in Great Qin no longer has the same power as the Ming Dynasty, and the number is already very small.

In this regard, Han Zanzhou naturally had some concerns in his heart, but he saw that Qin Mu still trusted him so much. More than half of the economic industry of the inner palace is taken care of by him, and he is at ease.

"Old Han, after the spinning machine is improved. Many spinning mills in the Jiangnan area have adopted it, so there will definitely be a lot of spinning workers who will lose their jobs, so you can help me pay attention to this situation. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will inquire about it."

Han Zanzhou hadn't withdrawn yet, and the deputy commander Yan Gaofei asked to see him outside the hall again.

After Qin Mu summoned him in, Yan Gaofei immediately took out a small note and reported to Qin Muyu: "Your Majesty, this is the news from Horqin, under the pressure of Chebai, Chechen Khan Shuolei has surrendered, and led the people to attach, Chebai directly transferred half of the strong men from the Chechen Ministry, totaling 5,000 people, to participate in the conquest of East and Siberia.

According to the latest information received, the fighting in East and Siberia is progressing smoothly. General Chebai had uprooted a number of important Russian strongholds in East and Siberia, and General Li Ding led an army of 20,000 to Kashrek, the capital of the former Siberian Khanate. However, due to the long distance, no further information has been sent back so far. ”

"So, East and Siberia are basically taken?"

"Your Majesty, so to speak, there are still some primitive tribes in the local area, but there are not many of them, and they can be cooked slowly in the future."

"Good, very good. Is there any news of Li Dingguo or Su Jin in the west? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, at present, I only know that General Su led 20,000 troops into the Kazakh Khanate, and there is no news about the situation of the battle."

Hearing such an answer, Qin Mu couldn't help frowning slightly, Siberia, Central Asia, India, Australia, the road is so far away, it will take nearly half a year to send back a piece of news, which makes him feel a sense of powerlessness.

Although Li Ding and Su Jin led either Mongolia or Tubo Qingzhuang, and there was no need for the imperial court to invest much in the war, even if the whole army was wiped out, it would not have much impact on Great Qin.

But it's still uncomfortable that the news is so late.

Qin Mu couldn't help but think of the most primitive telegraph, now that the generator has come out, with electricity, there are already conditions for developing a telegraph.

The battery doesn't seem to be very difficult, as if the car batteries of later generations are zinc flakes with light sulfuric acid, and it should be just these two things. Now that sulfuric acid is available, zinc seems to have been refined in the Ming Dynasty.

If the transmitter can be studied, then future communication will be easier.

The transmitter uses radio waves, which are emitted by an oscillator to send out a fixed frequency, which is electrically keyed to start and stop vibration, and uses an antenna to amplify the oscillation frequency and propagate in the air.

The receiver is a signal selected to the transmitter through a fixed frequency, mixing the high-frequency radio waves emitted by the transmitter with the signal of the local oscillator, so that it becomes a fixed frequency, and then through several levels of intermediate frequency amplification, and then the wave is detected, the audio signal is restored, and the code sound is listened to through the guò headphones.

Different lengths of code sounds represent different words. After the receiver assembles it, it becomes a telegram.

Of course, this is not difficult to say, but in Daqin, there are almost no people who understand radio waves, and I am afraid that it will take thousands of tests before it is possible to touch the doorway.

But no matter what, it's always good to let the R&D Department find someone to study it first, and if you can't get it, there's no way, if you get it, it's a big surprise.

While Han Zanzhou had not left, Qin Mu took a pen and paper, wrote down the shallow knowledge he knew about batteries, radio waves, transmitters and receivers, and asked him to immediately take them to the R&D Department to organize manual research.

Now the transmission of news, as well as the performance of local officials, mainly rely on the post stations in various places, for this reason, the imperial court has to raise a lot of post guards and post horses, the whole country combined, there are tens of thousands of post stations, this is a huge expense.

If the telegraph can be studied, not only can the transmission of information become extremely fast, but also the tens of thousands of post houses can be abolished, saving the imperial court a huge amount of expenditure every year.

In this regard, Qin Mu's heart was full of expectations, if he was not the emperor, he would definitely go to this research in person.

Han Zanzhou was repeatedly told by him, knowing that this matter was extraordinary, and hurriedly took the information written by Qin Mu and rushed to the R&D Department, not daring to stop for a moment.

Now the three institutes of science and technology have actually set up research laboratories, but because they have just been established, their scientific research capabilities are weak, and in ten or eight years, when several science and technology colleges have formed scientific research capabilities, it will be easy to do.

For Li Ding in Siberia and Su Jin who entered Central Asia, Qin Mu didn't worry too much, he could afford to be hurt here.

On the contrary, it was Hai Rufeng who drove to India, which made him a little worried, the situation in India was very complicated, although Hai Rufeng was a very capable general, but because he couldn't get the news in time, Qin Mu was still a little relieved.

Now Daqin's clipper ship can reach a speed of 14 knots at the fastest. But even if it is a qiēshun lì, it will take three months to travel back and forth between India and Daqin.

And three months is enough for a lot to happen.
