The concept of wired telegraphy is actually quite simple.
It involves converting information into electric current, which is transmitted via a wire and received at the terminal.
So, a telegraph transmitter is essentially a key-controlled signal transmitter, and the receiver is a decoder.
The principle of a manual telegraph machine involves a person operating an electrical key. The signals are formed by ‘dots’ and ‘dashes’ and transmitted via a wire.
Morse also built on his predecessors’ work by designing a set of codes for letters and numbers that made transmission via circuits easier.
You don’t need a complex circuit, just one line can solve the problem!
Simply put, it’s like a piece of paper that either has or hasn’t been punched through.
But it’s this kind of improvement, which is much more reliable than the electrolytic signal, and it is the foundation of the development of wired telegraphy.
What Su Lu intends to present is this method of encoding and decoding.
“With this, and two terminals, wired telegraphy is entirely possible! This will change the world…”
The speed at which information is transmitted is what distinguishes a primitive society from a modern one!
“It has to be said, sometimes the feeling of creating history is quite nice!”
Looking at his design, Su Lu nods, “This patent alone would be enough for the old me to live on. If I set up a telegraph company, I’d make a fortune!”
The primary reason for releasing the technology of wired telegraphy at this time was to attract higher-level attention.
Only real talents have the possibility of attracting the attention of the high-ranking officials in Green Tree Castle and being absorbed into its inner circle!
This not only elevates one’s status, but also aids in many of Su Lu’s plans.
As a result, he would rather pause his Transcendent side’s cultivation and strive to make a name for himself in the Electricity Research Institute.
In addition, he has another consideration in mind.
Although the White Eagle Federation and Green Tree Castle Laboratories place great importance on patents, he is after all insignificant.
The interests and future represented by wired telegraphy are too great, it is hard to guarantee that some impulsive person won’t pop up.
‘If you are cooperating that’s good, if you really are so shameless as to directly grab the research result… Hehe…’
Su Lu lets out a sneer.
He still holds the trump card of wireless telegraphy in his hands!
The principle of wireless telegraphy is not much different from that of wired telegraphy. It also converts information into electromagnetic waves, from low frequency to high frequency, and is transmitted and received via a high-power antenna.
In fact, it’s just a switch from a wire to air as the transmission medium.
‘If anyone tries to steal my accomplishments, let them… Once they’ve gone to the trouble of setting up a telegraph network, I’ll release the technology of wireless telegraphy, those bastards won’t know what hit them!!’
Compared to wired telegraphy, wireless telegraphy only requires a tall transmitter.
The cost of this is negligible compared to laying a network of telegraph wires across the entire continent, even across the ocean.
If they can’t bring them down by then, Su Lu can add a “Kill” to his name!
The autumn on the east coast of the Federation is not cold. In the slightly cool wind, Su Lu comes to the laboratory.
“Where’s the professor?”
He looks at Cecilia, who is busy working, and asks in a low voice.
“He’s not in a good mood. Don’t disturb him unless it’s really necessary.”
Cecilia answers.
Su Lu knows this.
Professor William’s large-scale communication experiment can be considered a success and a failure.
The success lies in the proof that information can indeed be transmitted using electric current, and very quickly at that!
However, the downfall was the damn electrolytic terminal. Not only was it a hassle to operate, but it was also highly error-prone and required a mass of wiring, which was extremely costly.
As a result, the funding that Professor William was hoping for was shot down. He would be strange if he wasn’t upset.
“I have something important. I’ve written a paper and I’d like to publish it internally!” Su Lu replies.
In fact, given the status of Green Tree Castle Laboratories, being able to publish internally is pretty much equivalent to being published throughout the entire Federation.
“Hiss…”
As expected, Cecilia draws a sharp breath: “You… wrote a paper?”
Although she knows that this newcomer is impressive, she never thought that he could be this impressive!
“Let me see.”
She takes the draft, glances at it: “An imagining regarding electric current extrapolated from direct current?”
“That’s my topic. It was approved by Professor William.”
Su Lu explains briefly.
“Very good. Very enlightening!”
Cecilia returns the manuscript to Su Lu: “I think it’s worth at least five points! You can go and find your mentor, he’s in his office!”
“Thank you! ”
Feeling Victor’s envious gaze from the side, Su Lu, seemingly unaware, walks into the office.
“Professor!”
William is in his office, designing something. His expression is unreadable, it’s hard to know if he’s happy or upset.
“This is my paper.”
After some thought, Su Lu hands over his manuscript.
“Hmm!”
William takes it, glances at it, and shows some surprise: “Compared to before, your deductions are more mature and rigorous… Very good, I’ll submit it for review. You can go now.”
“Thank you!”
Su Lu salutes and quietly steps out of the room.
Looking at his retreating figure, Victor finally can’t help but speak: “A newbie trying to publish a paper? I hope he is not kicked out by the mentor…” Upon hearing this, Andrew, who was wiping the table, trembles.
“Alright, Victor, Su Lu is indeed very capable, and very talented!”
Cecilia has to admit, this newcomer is quite formidable, particularly in his research on electricity, he seems to possess an innate talent.
While others are groping in the dark, struggling to make progress, he’s running toward his goal with a torch in his hand.
And he’s running pretty fast, just like a wild horse galloping freely!
Late at night.
The Electricity Research Institute.
Green Tree Castle Laboratories are divided into the inner ring and the outer ring, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the Green Tree Council.
Sleydon Watt, of the ninth seat, appears to be an ordinary elderly white man with silver hair, but his eyes are bright like two shining sapphires. As one of the leaders of the laboratory, he is, of course, a Transcendent.
His aged appearance does not inhibit his vigorous energy.
Document after document is quickly reviewed by him, dispatched, and commands are conveyed.
Suddenly, he pauses, “A review committee? Are there papers they can’t judge?”
In his hand, there’s an additional paper.
The review of internal papers at the Green Tree Castle is very strict.
As a master in the current field of electricity, Sleydon Watt also holds a position there.
If there are articles that they can’t review, he would have the obligation to step in.
“Interesting.”
Sleydon Watt puts on his reading glasses and looks at the start of the paper: “On direct current and some derived imaginings?
Once he starts reading, he continues for a long time, even letting his tea on the desk grow cold.
At long last, Sleydon Watt looks at the author: “Su Lu Pottery, huh? Interesting!”
He immediately puts pen to paper to make his final response: “Clear logic, concise thinking, review passed, suggest rewarding 15 points..”
