"Your Majesty, Madam, if you two listen carefully, you will find that this
telegraph machine can actually make two sounds, one is such a short sound, and
the person on the other side receives this signal and can record it as a
point. It is pronounced "di", and there is also a long sound that can last for
a certain period of time. The person on the other side can record it as a
horizontal line when receiving this mark, and read it as "ta". Your majesty
and the empress can listen carefully. Listen!"
Zuifengxuan.
In order to explain the transmission mechanism of the telegraph to Li Er and
Changsun, Li Zexuan explained the principle while personally operating the
telegraph. In fact, the principle is very simple. It is nothing more than the
length of time that the key is closed. The control telegraph sends out two
different signals.
"Well, it's true, just relying on these alone, I'm afraid I can't deliver the
message, right?"
When Li Er saw Li Zexuan's demonstration, he was surprised by the magic of the
telegraph in his heart, and asked questioningly.
"Your Majesty, these two monotonous signals can of course not fully express
what the two parties want to express. This telegraph machine also needs to be
used with a codebook."
Li Zexuan explained with a smile.
"What is a cipher? You kid won't finish talking all at once?"
Li Er frowned and said displeased, daring to deliberately hold the bridge in
front of him, this kid is really courageous~!
"Uh, back to your majesty, the minister just said that the two signals sent by
the telegraph can be recorded as a dot and a horizontal line. The minister
later combined this point and the horizontal line with each other. Each
combination represents a number, such as Say one point and four horizontal
lines represent the number "1", and the rest of the numbers can be deduced by
analogy, a total of ten numbers, and then the sender can combine the four
numbers to represent one word, so that there are 10,000 types Combination
method, that is to say, through this method, 10,000 different characters can
be expressed! And the corresponding text for each combination is the code book
that Xiaochen said!"
Li Zexuan stood with his hand in hand, and talked with a bit of pretense. What
this guy thinks is that there is a rare opportunity to act in front of Li Er.
In fact, what he just said is the famous Morse code in modern world history.
In 1832, Russian diplomat Schilling produced a machine that uses the
deflection of the galvanometer pointer to receive information. Later, after
three years of research in 1835, the American painter Morse succeeded in using
the "on and off" and "length" of electric current to replace human words for
transmission.
Morse code is an early form of digital communication, but it is different from
modern binary codes that only use zero and one or two states. Its codes
include five types: dots, strokes, pauses between dots and strokes, each Short
pauses between characters (between dots and strokes), medium pauses between
each word, and long pauses between sentences. Then use different combinations
of dots and strokes to represent twenty-six English letters and ten Arabic
numerals, which can perfectly realize communication.
Later, Morse code was introduced to China, and it was improved a lot. It was
almost as Li Zexuan just said, but on the basis of the original, there were a
few more combinations.
Li Er was frowning and thinking, but didn't pay attention to Li Zexuan's
beating, otherwise he would have to be rewarded for their big feet. Empress
Longsun caught sight of Li Zexuan's expression inadvertently, and she couldn't
help but want to laugh.
"That's it! Your kid is really good! But according to you, can't the so-called
codebook be changed at will?"
Li Er himself is a man of great wisdom, aside from the electromagnetic
knowledge that does not belong to this era, he can still understand these
password combination principles alone.
"Your Majesty is so insightful! As your Majesty said, this codebook can be
changed at will according to your needs. As long as the two parties sending
the message use the same codebook, there is no problem! Officially due to the
ever-changing nature of the telegram code, The security of the two people’s
messages between them is guaranteed, so that even if the messages they send
are intercepted by others, they don’t know what the messages represent when
they look at the dots and dashes!"
Li Zexuan heard Li Er's question, his eyes brightened, and the ancients were
not stupid. What he has more than them is just some insight.
"Oh~! Don't flatter your kid! Oh, listen to what you just said, can the
message sent by this telegraph machine be intercepted by others?"
Li Er was secretly refreshed, but he was smiling and cursing on his face, but
he was a little puzzled. When he wanted to come, the message from this
telegraph was silent and invisible during the spread. How could it be
intercepted?
"Return to your majesty, the telegraph transmitting information is actually
equivalent to the military messengers transmitting military information
through text. They all have the possibility of being intercepted! All you need
is a high-powered transceiver, and then adjust the receiving frequency of the
transceiver to Corresponding band, you can capture the telegram information
sent by others. Of course, this is only theoretically possible to be
intercepted, because the production principle of the telegraph machine is only
proficient in the world!"
Nothing can be invincible. Although the electromagnetic waves emitted by the
telegraph are invisible and silent, they can still be captured as long as they
are properly used. In some anti-Japanese war TV dramas, there are not often
some underground parties intercepting and deciphering the enemy's telegrams. !
"Military~~"
Li Er's heart moved, and he muttered to himself. Although he didn't know what
the "power", "frequency", and "band" were, it did not prevent him from
obtaining other key information. He then reconsidered I went through the
telegraph on the table again, and my eyes slowly became
hotter~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is the artifact of the country! With the
telegraph machine, wouldn't Datang be invincible in wars in the future?
He had fought a whole life, and immediately thought of how great this
telegraph machine would be if it were used in the military.
"You just said that you are the only one who knows how to make a telegraph
machine?"
Li Er squinted his eyes, looked at Li Zexuan and said.
Uh, Li Zexuan's heart tightened, he felt a hint of danger, could it be that he
just pretended to be too much?
"Back to your Majesty, it should...should be like this!"
From Li Er's tone, Li Zexuan could not hear anything wrong, so he could only
bite the bullet and answer.
"Can this telegraph machine be mass-produced? Can it be used for military
intelligence transmission?"
There was no special expression on Li Er's face, but there was a trace of
expectation in his heart.
"This...."
Li Zexuan wanted to scold his mother a little, and as expected, Lao Li wanted
anything good when he saw it! What a robber!
"Your Majesty, the telegraph is currently only in the experimental stage. His
transmission distance and working hours are not stable. The minister can use
it to chat with Yu Xi, but if it is used for intelligence transmission in the
military, it needs to be used first. Solve its power supply problem, and then
its signal transmission distance problem..."
"Chat? You actually intend to use this telegraph machine to chat?"
Before Li Zexuan finished speaking, Li Er couldn't help but interrupt, and saw
him staring with a look of cannibalism. If it weren't for the eldest grandson
beside him, he would have to pull the sword and chop Li Zexuan to feed the
dog. !
"Um, Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan secretly cried out that he was going to suffer, but Te Niang was
anxious to say that he missed her mouth, this is a pill! The robber is going
to eat people!
