Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Hiding in the Zhuangzi outside Tongzhou City is very boring, or in other words, Fang Jifan's heart is anxious!

In order to prevent people from being noticed, except for a few cronies, it is best not to go out for activities, otherwise, with the ability of the factory guard, it will be difficult not to be discovered.

Therefore, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao have almost lost contact with the outside world, and they don't know how the war in Annan is going, let alone how His Majesty is currently. Phan may or may not be innocent.

If so, I can go back to the capital openly, and I can see my lovely apprentices and grandchildren, and I can also eat Mr. Wen's meals. What a joyful thing this is.

When this thought came into his mind, Fang Jifan became even more impatient, and he returned home like an arrow.

Zhu Houzhao's situation was similar. He was in high spirits two days ago, but soon he couldn't stay here anymore, but he didn't dare to show his head, so he couldn't help complaining in front of Fang Jifan: "If there is any news in Beijing, It would be great to let Ben Gong know as soon as possible, and I don’t know what’s going on in Beijing.”

After Fang Jifan heard Zhu Houzhao's words, a thought flashed through his mind, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Then, it was about to move!

I, Fang Jifan, have been a man for two generations. I have been too lazy recently, and almost forgot about this.

Now hiding here, idle is idle, Fang Jifan started to get the news as soon as possible.

So in the following days, he simply locked himself in the room, and let Liu Jin secretly go shopping for some things.

There are zinc rods, sulfuric acid, and copper rods. After these things are roughly prepared, the sulfuric acid is packed in a jar and sealed...

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being curious when he saw Fang Jifan not going out behind closed doors, tossing about these things, and couldn't help but leaned forward and asked, "Old Fang, what are you doing?"

Fang Jifan looked very serious, and just said: "Make batteries."

"Electric...battery..." Zhu Houzhao said in disbelief: "This is obviously a jar, so what does it have to do with electricity? Even if it has something to do with electricity, it should be called an electric can."

Fang Jifan suddenly realized that it was a waste of time to explain this to Zhu Houzhao, but... he actually felt that what little Zhu Xiucai said was very reasonable. The early batteries were just canned food?

Fang Jifan nodded, and after a while, this rough 'electric tank' was made.

This is a relatively primitive battery, which first appeared in the eighteenth century and was called a voltaic battery, but...in this era...uh, is it useful?

Of course, it's useless.

If it is used to make electric lights, it is not impossible, but the cost is too high, and such stupid things are done when you are full, but...Fang Jifan thought of something else...

telegraph……

Needless to say, the purpose of the telegram, this thing is simply an artifact for transmitting messages!

In today's world, the fastest way for people to deliver news is the carrier pigeon. Unfortunately, carrier pigeons are not safe. Besides, there is no way anymore.

Secondly, since it is a fast horse, it will not only cost a lot, but also need to build a station system, and a lot of manpower and animal power will be wasted, and it is impossible to transmit messages at any time.

But the telegram is different!

At this moment, Fang Jifan wants to know the news, and the next moment, the other end can send it. This is a magic weapon.

To manufacture a telegraph, the first thing to solve is the battery problem. The manufacture of voltaic batteries is very simple, especially this is the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Dynasty took the lead in refining zinc. This thing was called Japanese lead in this era. This is because most of the zinc in the Ming Dynasty was extracted from the silver imported into Daming by the Japanese.

With this, plus sulfuric acid and copper, roughly, a simple voltaic battery can be produced, so that the problem of the battery is solved, and the telegraph is even simpler, just find a wooden board, a Enameled wire, a long nail, a short nail, a copper sheet, and an armature are enough.

Fang Jifan first took the wooden board and laid it flat, nailed in long nails, and then stopped when the nails were two centimeters exposed from the wooden board. At that time, there was no copper wire drawing skill, but it is not too difficult to manufacture, as long as you are willing to spend the cost. The ancestors were able to draw wire on metal very early, so the gold wire and silver wire appeared. The braid, the copper wire, Fang Jifan spent a lot of work, and then connected the two poles of the battery to the 'telegraph', and this thing was almost finished.

Then, the copper wires were erected. There was no insulating rubber in this era, so people painted the wires, and when the paint dried, it was considered complete.

After cutting down more than a dozen trees, Fang Jifan pulled the line from one end to the other, and the other end was a utility room. Zhu Houzhao followed Fang Jifan from the beginning to the end, watching all this curiously.

Afterwards, Fang Jifan began to teach Zhu Houzhao's codes. He first found a book and used it as a parent book, and taught Zhu Houzhao word for word.

It's just... what the hell is Lao Fang up to? Zhu Houzhao still couldn't understand.

Next, Zhu Houzhao was asked to stay in another room hundreds of feet away, where there was also a transmitter.

Zhu Hou took care of this 'vulgar'

The machinery is really rough, and any gadget in the palace is much finer than it, Zhu Houzhao doesn't take it seriously!

But he knew he would know the answer soon, so he sat tight!

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound from the transceiver.

Zhu Houzhao screamed.

Damn it.

He jumped up in fright.

The electromagnet surrounded by the copper wire just now... obviously shook, and made a sound.

Behind him, Liu Jin ate fried soybeans calmly, disapprovingly.

It seems that apart from hunger, there is nothing in the world that can frighten Liu Jin.

But Zhu Houzhao yelled with a bit of horror: "Liu Banban, Liu Banban, did you hear that, I heard the sound of clicking, this thing can move by itself."

"Your Highness, this servant heard it and saw it move." Liu Jin's voice was calm and calm.

"It's scary!" Zhu Houzhao approached the transceiver curiously.

Liu Jin grabbed a bean, stuffed it into her mouth, and looked at it with a relaxed face.

The next moment, I saw the electromagnet vibrate again, this time it was the third sound, click...

Zhu Hou took care of it. After the electromagnet vibrated, it hit the short nail on the wooden board, making a knocking sound.

Zhu Houzhao widened his eyes and said, "It moved again."

"Your servant saw it!" Liu Jin said calmly, "My servant remembers that the captain asked His Highness to take notes."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly slapped his forehead: "Yes, I'm so patronizing, I forgot about this."

So he quickly picked up his pen and wrote down a two and a three.

Then, the transceiver vibrated continuously.

Zhu Houzhao memorized more than a dozen groups of numbers, each group of four numbers.

Zhu Houzhao finally got used to it, calmed down a lot, and said, "Where... the female parent?"

Liu Jin took out the female parent.

This is the most common "Spring and Autumn".

Holding the mother copy, Zhu Houzhao began to translate the first set of numbers according to Fang Jifan's method.

Two three nine four.

Zhu Houzhao took the numbers and muttered: "Page 23, column nine, word four... huh? This is the word 'Dian'."

Zhu Houzhao was pleasantly surprised by discovering something new, "Haha, it's interesting."

Then, he translated the second word and the third word.

Eventually the words came together.

"Your Highness, are you hungry? Come back quickly!" Zhu Houzhao wrote the number of translated words on the paper.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly beamed with joy.

Patting on the copy, he said with a smile: "Haha, that's interesting, look, Lao Fang asked me if I was hungry..."

As he spoke, he took the note he had translated and ran back to Zhuangzi out of breath.

In Zhuangzi, Fang Jifan was sitting in front of the transceiver with a serious face, looking very serious.

Then I heard Zhu Houzhao yelling: "Old Fang, Lao Fang..."

Fang Jifan felt like a Japanese dog, and agreed that we would communicate by code.

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Houzhao excitedly said: "I'm here to tell you, I'm hungry, what shall we have for lunch?"

Fang Jifan pulled his face down: "Your Highness, you should return to me over there."

Zhu Houzhao was a little dizzy, why?

He remembered again, and patted his forehead again: "Oh, I forgot, forgot, you just wait, I will go back to you."

So he ran back to his hut panting again, and sat down hastily!

On this transceiver, there is a small copper key, which is connected to the battery of the pottery urn. He first took out the mother copy, first found the word he wanted to say, and turned it into a number, seven three six five.

Then, he pressed the copper key seven times in a row, and each time the electric current passed through the transceiver, it made a clicking sound.

What he replied was, Ben Gong is hungry, what should we eat at noon.

He wanted to say, what shall we eat. It's a pity that in the female version of "Spring and Autumn", although the character for me is found, the character for us is not found, and the character for 'what' is naturally absent.

This transceiver, thanks to the parent book "Spring and Autumn", is relatively advanced, so even the communication has to be refined.

Fortunately, there are not many words in the Book of Songs. If the Book of Songs is used as the mother version, it will be more advanced.

After sending out the code, Zhu Houzhao began to wait patiently. His temper was impatient, his eyes widened. Seeing that there was no sound from the transceiver, he wished to eat it. He even wanted to find Fang Jifan along the line and urge him one time.

Finally, Fang Jifan responded.

"Your Highness, I thought that we would have nothing to eat at noon."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, no food, what do you mean, there is no rice in the tank?

He replied: "Why?"

Fang Jifan responded word by word: "Eunuch Xiao is at the door of the minister."

"..." Zhu Houzhao...was scared to pee.
