Chapter 281: The rare big baby in the world!

The day when the fleet goes south is getting closer.
Anyone with a little bit of foresight can realize how lucrative this trip to
the south is, and there is also court escort. There is no need to worry about
security. It is a godsend. Therefore, labor shortages are rare in all major
shipping companies. You can see some notices about recruiting sailors
everywhere in Chang'an City. As long as you are well watered and not seasick,
then hurry up and sign up! The shipowner will first give you a generous
relocation fee. When you come back from Southern Trade, the wages you will pay
will be enough for your family for twenty years!
The workshop is even more enthusiastic. Since some of the precision parts of
the compass were polished by a few masters before, the efficiency was very
low. Seeing that more and more people are asking for the compass outside,
after Fu Bo asked Li Zexuan for instructions, he decided to organize young
craftsmen to learn from the masters. Technology, who can learn, rewards five
pennies at once on the spot.
Under the reward, there must be a brave man. A large number of smart and
dexterous people emerged from the young craftsmen. The precision parts they
polished are no worse than those of the masters.
In this way, with a steady stream of new forces joining in, coupled with the
advanced assembly line production model, the output of the compass has
continued to skyrocket day by day.
On the first day, Qiquge supplied fifty compasses, and they were all sold out
in less than a quarter of an hour.
On the second day, Qiquge supplied 300 compasses, and it still looted them in
less than half an hour.
On the third day, Qiquge supplied 500 compasses, but it was finally not
robbed. The market for compasses has begun to be saturated. After all, there
are more than 1,000 merchant ships going south, and not every merchant ship
owner is like Wang Ren. The watch is like a local tyrant, and every ship must
be equipped with a compass.
Upon seeing this, Sun Huaiyuan hurried to give feedback to the workshop. Fubo
got the news and immediately transferred more than half of the people from the
Compass production echelon to produce the carriage. According to Li Zexuan's
previous plan, it was time to launch the carriage. Sold.
…………………
Three days, fleeting.
The people outside are preparing for the vigorous southward movement. Deep in
the workshop, Zuifengxuan and Li Zexuan are also busy.
There is already a sign that this guy is going to get into trouble. In these
three days, more than 90% of the time, he stayed in the "laboratory" (cough,
sleeping there), and experienced the hardships of the past few days. Fighting
hard, Li Zexuan really made a treasure, and it was still a rare treasure in
the world, but his current image was a bit stunned.
"Haha, two telegraph machines have finally been completed!"
Compared to the previous image of the handsome son of Yushu Linfeng, Li
Zexuan's hair is now a little messy and his eye sockets are sunken. This is a
clear sign of staying up late. At this moment, he looked at the pile of
devices on the table, laughing like a mad, crazy look.
That's right, the communication tool Li Zexuan wants to do is a telegraph, and
it is also a wireless telegraph. The principle of the radio is very simple,
the core part is the lc oscillation circuit, the oscillation circuit of the
frequency selection network is composed of an inductor l and a capacitor c,
which is used to generate a high-frequency sine wave signal.
The radiation power of the lc oscillation circuit is proportional to the
fourth power of the oscillation frequency. To make the lc oscillation circuit
radiate strong enough electromagnetic waves, the oscillation frequency must be
increased and the circuit has an open form.
Although the principle is very simple, but in this era, there are no
electronic components that Li Zexuan can use. It is really difficult to make.
There are many technical difficulties, such as the signal modulation of the
transceiver, the production of the buzzer, etc. Fortunately, these
difficulties were overcome by Li Zexuan, who had been in seclusion for three
days. After all the hardships, he finally stumbled and made two wireless
telegraphs.
But unfortunately, there is one difficulty he can't overcome at present, and
that is the problem of power amplification, which is also the biggest
technical difficulty that the electronics industry must break through in this
era-triode.
The transistor is one of the basic semiconductor components. It has the
function of current amplification and is the core component of electronic
circuits. Without the transistor, there would be no integrated circuits, and
there would be no electronic products in modern society.
In fact, the lc oscillating circuit needs an amplifying element, that is, a
triode. Of course, you can also use a digital lc such as an integrated
operational amplifier. Using this amplifying element, through various signal
feedback methods, the oscillating signal that is constantly consumed is
feedback amplified. , And finally output a signal with a relatively stable
amplitude and frequency, so that the radio signal can be transmitted farther.
Li Zexuan understands these principles, but what's the point of understanding?
He couldn't build a triode now, so he had to bite the bullet and try to make a
wireless telegraph first, because he had a trace of luck in his heart, that
is, in the ancient times, when there was no electricity, the spatial spectrum
was very clean and there was almost no interference. With only a few watts of
RF power, it can travel all over the world.
The earliest wireless telegraphs did not use triodes. The transmission
distance of UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com at that time was 250 meters, but there
was already electricity in that era, and the space spectrum was not clean, and
there would be electromagnetic interference.
During the War of Liberation, * in Yan'an and Lin (Biao) in Harbin, they were
together for more than 2,000 kilometers. There was no relay station in the
middle. They all communicated directly with the radio. At that time, the
radiated power of the telegraph was only a few watts, so it could travel that
far. If this is left in modern society, it will definitely not work.
"Master, don't move, Xiao Xi is combing your hair!"
Li Zexuan laughed madly there, but Xiao Xi behind was unhappy. These days, Li
Zexuan locked himself in the "laboratory" and couldn't help scratching his
head whenever he encountered a problem. Ancient men are not like modern boys
with short hair. They all have long hair, so his hair has been messy recently.
In order to maintain a good image for his young master, Xiao Xi spends a long
time combing Li Zexuan's hair every day.
"Haha, no need to comb, no need to comb! Come on, Xiao Xi, try my latest
invention, Master!"
Only then did Li Zexuan notice that there was someone behind him. He turned
around, pinching Xiao Xi's shoulder and exclaimed excitedly.
These days he is often in a trance doing things, many times he has been in a
state of forgetting everything. If Xiao Xi was not here to take care of him,
it is estimated that he was either starved to death or sloppy to death by
himself. In the end, although he could also do the radio telegraph. Come out,
but the final situation will definitely be countless times worse than it is
now.
"Master~! Wait a moment, let me comb your hair first."
Xiao Xi is not surprised. In addition to taking care of Li Zexuan's daily
life, she has also helped Li Zexuan do various experiments. She failed many
times in the middle. Now she is not as interested in doing experiments as
before.
"Okay! That's all right, Xiao Xi, hurry up!"
Li Zexuan had no choice but to compromise.
