Become a feudal king from today

"Also, don't forget to go to Tianzhu and let them sign the Eastern-Tu trade contract. If you complete this piece, the entire Eastern-Tu trade circle will be complete. Google search to read"

The autumn sun was still very hot. Zhao Xu wiped the sweat on his forehead and said another sentence to Yang He.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go back and make preparations before heading to Tianzhu." Yang He heard the words and said yes, with no concealment of the excitement on his face.

For him, he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

After bowing and saluting, Yang He turned and left.

After he went out, a young eunuch came to the door with excitement on his face and said something to Xiao Guizi.

Xiao Guizi immediately put a smile on her face and entered the imperial study room and said to Zhao Xu, "Your Majesty, Wang Chong, the Minister of Technology of the Department of Science and Technology, is here. He also brought a telephone, saying that he would install it for the Emperor."

"Oh?" When Zhao Xu heard this, his eyes showed anticipation, "Then let him come in quickly, I will be impatient to wait."

Xiao Guizi understood and immediately asked the young eunuch to introduce Wang Chong into the palace.

Not long after, Wang Chong came over with three technicians.

After saluting Zhao Xu, he presented the hand-cranked telephone in his arms to Zhao Xu, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Laboratory of the Research and Development Institute has lived up to expectations and built the hand-cranked telephone. Now it can be realized in Yancheng immediately. The whole city said the same thing.”

Zhao Xu nodded and said to him, "Don't talk much about the situation. Get to work quickly and let me experience it."

While the south and west of Dasong were at war, none of the other functional agencies were idle.

The cabinet continues to promote restructuring, and the Department of Science and Technology is one of the results of the restructuring.

From now on, the scientific and technological development of Dasong will be coordinated by the Department of Science and Technology.

The Science and Technology Department headed by Wang Chong has also made many technological breakthroughs and contributed to the power industry.

This hand-cranked telephone is one of the small achievements.

After all, the biggest problem with hand-cranked telephones is electricity, and the technology of the telephone itself is not difficult.

Simply put, the structure of a hand-cranked telephone has two important structures.

One is a rotating turntable and a receiver.

The structure of this rotary dial is actually a small generator.

Each dialing is equivalent to generating electricity. This current is like the current of a wired telegraph, which will close the magnet in the switchboard.

Because the current intensity emitted by each shake is different according to the number, the dialed number can be distinguished.

The switchboard then connects the corresponding telephone line to the dialed telephone line, and then you can make a call.

"I heard everything, the emperor said, hurry up and get to work." Seeing that Zhao Xu was impatient, Wang Chong chuckled and immediately asked the technicians to install the hand-cranked telephone.

When the hand-cranked telephone was developed, the laying of telephone lines in Yancheng had already begun.

As long as telephones are installed in various agencies, Zhao Xu can directly communicate with the Cabinet, Defense Department and other agencies in the Imperial Study Room.

After receiving the order, the three technicians got busy.

In just a cup of tea, the hand-cranked telephone was installed.

At this time, Wang Chong said, "Your Majesty, there are currently only two hand-cranked telephones. One is in the R\u0026D Institute, and the other was sent to the Emperor, so now we can only make calls to the R\u0026D Institute."

"Then dial the phone number of your R\u0026D institute." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

For him, this is already a good start.

The telegraph has certainly brought about a qualitative change in the transmission of information across the country.

But after the advent of the telephone, information transmission will be more efficient.

Next, as long as hand-cranked telephones are mass-produced, phone calls can be made throughout Yancheng, and then between cities, and even between provinces, until the entire Dasong.

"The number is two zeros and one two." Wang Chong reported the number of the R\u0026D Institute.

"Then my imperial study room should be two zeros, one and one?" Zhao Xu looked at the ten numbers on the turntable.

"Your Majesty is wise, that's right." Wang Chong chuckled twice.

"It's too little. I'll change it to eight digits when I get back."

This phone number only has three digits, which means there are a thousand phone numbers available in total.

Change to eight digits and there are 100 million numbers to choose from.

Although he knew very well that Dasong might soon popularize the telephone among the people.

But this expectation must be met.

After saying this, Zhao Xu dialed zero twice and one two.

At this time, a woman's voice came from the phone.

"Do you want to transfer to the R\u0026D Institute now?" the woman asked, her voice obviously trembling.

Obviously she knew that the person on the other side might be Zhao Xu.

"Yes, transfer to the Research Institute." Zhao Xu replied.

"Okay." After replying, the woman's voice disappeared.

Then there was the beep of the phone.

Before it rang twice, a voice came from the opposite side, "This is the seventh laboratory of the Research Institute, long live the emperor."

Zhao Xu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. In this experiment, all participants concluded that the first call must have been made by him.

He wanted to tease the other party, but Zhao Xu was afraid of scaring them, so he said: "Congratulations on conquering the technology of hand-cranked phones. This call test was perfect. I am very satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."

"No...it's not hard." The person on the other end of the phone stammered, also very nervous.

After asking about the next mass production of the hand-cranked telephone, Zhao Xu hung up the phone with a satisfied expression.

Turning to Wang Chong, he said: "Next, we will speed up the mass production of phones and hand the produced phones directly to the Communications Department."

The predecessor of the Communications Department was Dasong's post system.

After the telegram was handed over to the post system, the telephone will now be handed over to the Communications Department for management.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Chong responded.

Then he thought of something and said to Zhao Xu, "Your Majesty, in addition to the mobile phone matter, I have something to report this time. This is the oil matter. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Before the internal combustion engine is developed, there will be many problems." The petrochemical industry should be established in advance, otherwise the domestic gas without oil will be nothing more than scrap metal. "

"I understand what you mean." Zhao Xu said.

During this period, the R\u0026D Institute only relied on a small amount of oil to conquer some smelting technologies in the petrochemical industry.

These small amounts of oil were transported near the Tianshan Mountains by Chinese smugglers who risked their lives, and then transported from the Tianshan Mountains.

It can be said that the quantity is small, but the cost is very high.

The oil passing through in this way can only be used in laboratories, but if it is smelted in large quantities, not only the quantity will be an issue, but the cost will also be an issue.

Therefore, next we must find a way to reduce costs for Dasong.

To this end, he has ordered Chen Shou of the Ship Department to design and build merchant ships specifically for transporting oil.

In this way, the transportation problem is solved.

But in addition to transportation, there is another issue of source.

This issue must be solved by Da Song personally and reshape the order of Middle-earth.

Now, Qinshan has leveled Tianzhu.

Then Tianzhu, like Ebony City, has become a springboard for Dasong to extend its sphere of influence into the Middle Earth.

Next, he will use these two springboards to disintegrate the Tusman Empire.
