Zhao Hao and his party got on the bus again, and the convoy drove along a concrete road in the mountains and forests to the depths of the valley.

After walking along this road for three or five miles, I saw a Taoist temple covered with green bamboos appearing in front of me.

Zhao Hao looked at the four big words "Tao follows nature" on the mountain gate, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Have you really practiced the Taoist temple?"

"It's not the Institute of Taoism and Law." Zhang Jian said embarrassedly: "It is reasonable to study it in Taoism."

"Luckily, I didn't call it the Buddhist Institute." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Otherwise, you, the host, would have to shave your head and put on a scar."

There are guard posts outside the gate of Taoguan Mountain, and there are guard posts and mobile posts around. There are trenches dug on the ground, wire mesh is pulled in front of the ditch, and many dogs are also raised.

In fact, this place is still in the range of 00 schools, and is already very cautious. Is the things studied in it more confidential than new guns?

"Inside the research center, only the director level knows the existence of the 11 institutes." Zhang Jian said softly.

"Did they guess what they are studying here?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"This..." Zhang Jian said with a strange expression: "It's better not to say it."

"Let me tell me." Zhao Hao walked towards the Taoist temple built on the mountain.

"Everyone said, Taoism, practicing qi and refining alchemy is nothing more than to live forever and never fall..." Zhao Shizhen said softly as he spoke: "It also seems that the pursuit of small people is diverse, and the interests of big people are surprisingly consistent."

"Good guy, one set of things." Zhao Hao touched his nose and said, "Tell them that the 11th Institute is not doing this!"

"That's right, just have to worry about this kind of thing..." Zhao Shizhen nodded vigorously.

"Search 08 doesn't have to worry!" Zhao Hao's nose was crooked and he kicked him in the butt and said, "I don't need to take drugs!"

When I entered the Taoist temple, I saw that there was another future in it.

I saw that there was no bronze incense burner in the courtyard, and it was replaced by a large spherical cage made of copper strip frame and fine copper wire mesh.

The hall did not worship the Three Qings, but there were three big characters written on it: Electricity, magnetism, and light!

This so-called Taoist and Law Institute is actually an electromagnetic research institute specializing in electricity, magnetism and light!

Electromagnetics is a major branch of physics. my country has had some understanding and research on electricity and magnetism for a long time.

The records of "amber picking mustard", "tower shell sucking" that describe the electrostatic phenomenon, as well as magnet needles and magnet iron attracting records, are all pitched and tilted in ancient books, and compass was invented. The understanding of lightning was earlier and more comprehensive, and the knowledge of conductors led to lightning, insulators prevented lightning, and research on tip discharge and atmospheric electricity.

Zhao Hao also has a chapter specifically introducing electricity and magnetism in his important work "A Brief Knowledge of Physics". In the popular science exhibition halls for the public, a large proportion of small experiments are also related to electricity and magnetism.

But let alone the general public, even the disciples of the science sect and even the researchers in the research center only regard electricity and magnetism as two types of uses, and are only for entertainment.

However, except for Institute 04, after Zhao Hao electrolyzes water to generate oxygen to rescue Lin Run, the entire electrolytic device was joined to the Institute of Chemistry. In recent years, they electrolyze various acids, alkalis and salts and discovered many new elements, such as alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, which are of extraordinary achievements.

But even Institute 04 cannot figure it out. Electricity and magnetism are obviously unrelated, so why do they still study it together? They still have to hide it so much and not reveal it to others? Even Zhao Shizhen, the second-in-commander of the research center, doesn’t know what the Institute of Taoism and Law is doing.

"Electromagnetic Research Institute?" Seeing that there is really no alchemy furnace here, only various experimental devices such as coils and magnets, Zhao Shizhen could not understand: "What does it have to do with Taoism?"

"Of course it's related." Zhao Hao smiled and said to Zhang Jian: "You can tell him now."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Jian nodded and said seriously to Zhao Shizhen: "Master has assigned two major topics to 11 institutes, namely Qianli Message Transmission and Wick Down."

"Transmit the voice for thousands of miles, the lamp head is facing down?" Zhao Shizhen opened his mouth and said, "It's really a study of Taoism."

The nursery rhymes circulated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are well sung, "Cornacea is a pig's gall, and the poor are the most life. Poor ghosts can turn over, unless they can transmit a message for thousands of miles, and the wick burns downwards...'

Thousand miles of voice transmission, the lamp head is facing down, what is that not Taoism?

"The copper wire cage outside," Zhao Shizhen asked again: "Which is used to study?"

"Oh, you said that electric cage?" Zhang Jian said: "That is used to protect the safety of the test personnel when catching lightning in the sky on thunderstorms. People can be safe and sound if they are struck by lightning inside."

"It's very interesting. Senior brother, let's try another day?" Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"Go to you, I'm not interested." Zhao Shizhen's face turned pale. He would rather deal with gunpowder for the rest of his life than stand in a metal cage and be struck by lightning. Are you sure you are not making barbecue?

But now he really thinks that the name of the Institute of Taoism is really appropriate. This captures lightning, studies the transmission of thousands of miles of voices, and the lamp head is facing down. Isn’t it studying what Taoism is?

"So did you make a thousand-mile voice transmission today, or did the lamp head face down?" Zhao Shizhen asked again.

"What do you think?" Wang Zheng asked back.

"If I guess... the lamp head facing downward is magical, it will not be so tight." Zhao Shizhen said in shock, "Can you send a message for thousands of miles?!"

"You are so smart, senior brother!" While speaking, Wang Zheng walked to the door of a laboratory, turned around and cleared his throat, and pretended to say:

"On the second day of the seventh month of the 15th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, this was an ordinary day, but it was an epoch-making day in human history!"

As he said that, he slowly pushed open the laboratory door, turned sideways and made an invitation gesture and said, "In the words of Master, the next time is the moment to witness the miracle!"

In the laboratory, on a huge wooden table, there were a bunch of instruments such as bottles, bottles, coils, copper balls, etc.

A young man with a small, fair-faced face was conducting a final inspection of the instrument on a table with two assistants.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and quickly put down the experimental record book in his hand, and quickly came forward and said, "I have lost my mistakes, Master, forgive me!"

"I'm fine, I'll be fine." Zhao Hao waved his hand and asked with a smile: "Success in the experiment is more important than anything else!"

"Yes, Master." The young man nodded solemnly, trying to keep himself calm.

Although he is like this, he is a character who appears in the introduction of this book, Xu Guangqi, the former among the Kings of Southern Xu and Bei!

There is no need to introduce this person. Zhao Hao asked Jin Xuezeng to take over his disciples in the third year of Longqing. He was only seven years old at that time, and now he has been under Zhao Hao for 19 years. In the science sect, only senior brothers Yangyang rank higher than him, and most of his fellow disciples would call him senior brothers.

Zhao Hao sent King Xu Bei of Nan to carry out a project, which shows how much he valued Qianli Transmission!

Can you not pay attention to it? Although Jiangnan Group does not have too many territory now, its stalls are super large, from east to west, with fortresses and bases spread across four continents and three oceans!

In the face of such a terrifying distance, all existing communication means have failed. Even the pigeon system he built for many years at any cost was still sighing, and it must rely on ships to complete the trans-ocean transmission of information.

It also takes two months for the group to use the fastest speed to fly a boat and pigeon system to send a message from Lisbon to Shanghai.

Although it is almost impossible for ordinary people to imagine, it is still unbearable for Zhao Hao.

For example, if something big happened in Europe, the Expeditionary Fleet reported it to the country as soon as possible. Even if it responded immediately after receiving the letter in Shanghai, it was already four months later when the Expeditionary Fleet Command received the order!

And that is the ideal state that can only be achieved by just the monsoon transition. More often, if you have two months of wind, you will have to go back to the wind for one more month, and if you delay it, you will go for half a year. If the Expedition Command waits for domestic decisions, the daylily will be cold.

This problem will be encountered throughout the dynasties. According to the saying, "Rites and Music Conquests come from the Emperor", the emperor should decide everything on the front line. However, if the king grasps the decision-making power and the army fighting on the far front line will become extremely slow to react, which may lead to a disastrous defeat that the empire cannot bear.

But if the general is outside, the emperor will not accept the orders of the emperor, and the emperor is worried that the general will respect the troops and make bad plans.

Under the contradictory mentality caused by this objective difficulties, even if the founding emperor personally led the army to build a great country for his descendants, after the greenhouse flowers of his descendants took over, he could only give up the border territory that was beyond the reach of the Yima. As a result, in the middle of the dynasties, the real territories were almost the same.

The book "Military Science" written by Zhao Hao clearly points out that the scope of regime rule, or the effect of regime power projection, is directly proportional to the efficiency of information transmission.

When the information transmission efficiency is low to a certain extent, the effectiveness of the regime's power projection will be too poor to accept. When the investment is too great to bear in order to maintain rule in the region, the regime will either be dragged to death or can only cut off its arm and actively shrink its scope of rule.

If he uses his theory to examine it, the current situation of Jiangnan Group is extremely bad. If he does not want the group to be dragged to death, he must either take the initiative to shrink or find a way to significantly improve the efficiency of the group's information transmission!

The 80,000 miles of great beauty that he had only achieved after years of hard work... Zhao Hao didn't want to give up the coastline, so many years ago he made up his mind to get the telegram out!

And what is rare is that telegraph technology, whether it is wired or radio, does not require too many pre-technology. If humans want to achieve this great leap that is comparable to a steam engine, they mainly need revolutionary theories and ideas!

What’s even more rare is that these revolutionary theories are so simple and easy to understand, no more than the middle school level in later generations. Zhao Hao himself is confident of making it out...
