Chapter 336          Electronics, from Beginner to Mastery

"Oh? Is that right?" When Chunnan's army conquered Danan Pass, consolidated all defense lines south of Danan Pass, cleared local resistance, and changed from an attacking gate to a defensive gate, Ye Tao asked casually, and muttered a few words. Chunnan's victory was expected, and no general had ever gained as much support and almost unlimited military strength as Chen Xujing. And Chunnan really did one thing: as long as the result is no matter whether casualties are concerned. Just imagine, if Chen Xujing could not capture Danan Pass, the country Chunnan would be too disappointing.

Under such excellent conditions, Chen Xujing's results were much stronger than expected. At the beginning of the entire strategy in Chunnan until the recovery of Danan Pass, Chunnan used a total of 442,000 troops, a total of 97,000 casualties, and annihilated 175,000 enemies. This figure alone is fine, but it is not easy to think that the offensive launched by Yunzhou at the same time caused almost the same order of magnitude of Xiling. Although there are quite a lot of water among non-main combat troops, it is not necessary to say that Xiling is now attacking Danan Pass and is only heavy. Moreover, Xiling is still attacking Danan Pass fiercely. It is estimated that Xiling will never give up without paying tens of thousands of losses. The loss of military power is only one aspect, and the greater loss is Xiling.

A rare place was defeated by Chunnan. When Chunnan had the confidence to confront Xiling and to win, even if it was expensive, it meant that Chunnan began to have the attitude of a strong country. Of course, a large part of the formation of this attitude of a strong country was because of the allied Dongping. As an allied country, Dongping's positive attitude this time was whether it was sending troops to attack Zhenbei Army Office, or providing various types of military equipment, equipment and consumables, was seen by Chunnan. At this time, the senior executives of Dongping, such as Tan Xiaopei and others, had no objection to Ye Tao expose the airship to Chunnan in advance. When Chunnan's confidence is expanding, if nothing can scare them, it would be a headache.

Under the stimulation of the fall of Danan Pass, Xiling's attitude became more and more obvious. They almost clearly gave up Zhenzhou. Although they did not withdraw from Taizhou and Zhongzhou for two weeks, they supplemented considerable forces for two weeks, but were just compensatory preparations for strengthening the defense of the northern line after Zhenzhou fell. Whether it was military strength or combat effectiveness, it was still a great distance from launching a sufficiently large-scale offensive. The Xiling army launched a large pressure to the south, which made the upper and lower parts of Yunzhou breathe a sigh of relief. After increasingly strengthening the defense of the northern tribes and the Northern Liaoxi Route Army, Yunzhou began to focus on administration, governance, economy, etc. When the Northern Xinjiang Administration and the Zhenzhou Governor's Office began to operate smoothly, Ye Tao was idle. He could wait for the birth of his child with hope, and he could find ways to get out the basic photography equipment in the research institute first, and also lead the research on electricity in the research institute to the right track.

In terms of photography technology research, Ye Tao is mainly responsible for the research of mechanical structures. The teams of Ye's Workshop Research Institute are becoming more and more experienced in chemical composition and materials. All kinds of research are being carried out in this way. At the beginning, everyone did not understand the method, nor did they know how to conduct experiments for the most efficient and scientific. When such a system was gradually established, when each team had a complete set of their own databases and could refer to each other and discuss them, the research progressed more and more smoothly. Although only glass bases can be used now, and they are subject to great limitations, after a period of experimentation, the images produced were quite clear when the exposure was correct. Ye Tao's research and expansion of the camera's mechanical structure has progressed faster. After a period of debugging

The cameras produced by Ye’s Workshop are purely mechanically modern. The cameras use four-inch multiplied by five-inch glass negatives and manually mounted. The cameras can change the lens, which can accurately convert between one hundredth, sixtyth, tenth of a second, quarter, half a second, one second, and several times of manual shutter release, and even external shutter cables. So far, Ye’s Workshop has only produced three types of fixed-focus lenses, one wide-angle, one standard, and one telephoto. It is still quite good in terms of optical properties. Now, this kind of camera that looks more mature still needs to wait for an updated generation of negatives before entering practicality. This requires a lot of experiments, but it cannot be rushed at once. At this time, Ye Tao simply began to fully develop the electrical research of Ye’s Workshop.

Now, the technical system of Ye’s Workshop has developed to a bottleneck. In terms of technology and mechanical technology, Ye’s Workshop has almost reached its peak. Just looking at Ye Tao taking out complex things like airships and cameras, the entire workshop can quickly complete the stage from drawings to physical objects, and can be manufactured without any obstacles. Perhaps the specific performance is not satisfactory, but subsequent adjustments can also be kept up quickly. New materials, more efficient processes and corrections to imperfect preliminary designs can be achieved soon. When Ye Tao is doing these things, he doesn’t even feel any pressure. When Ye Tao realizes this, even if it is a bit forced, he will put the development of electrical science on the agenda, not to mention that it seems like a natural thing now.

In order to arouse the interest of the workshop in electricity, Ye Tao copied the tests that the teacher had played when he first came into contact with electricity. The static test effect was not sensational enough, but the two people turned the two turntables hard, and the result of the crackling electric sparks between the two metal rods that did not touch each other was quite amazing.

"Didn't you say that Lord Ye is the reincarnation of the God of Fire... Why are you playing the trick of Thunder God now?" When the first public demonstration of the Ye Family Workshop ended, someone started to ask this question in the Ye Family Workshop where his thoughts were to come and take off.

"Of course it is the reincarnation of the Fire God, otherwise, how could Lord Ye know how to draw out the underground fire essence to make it into a turbulent bomb?"

"The turbulent bomb was made by the Gao family..."

"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. The sulphur bombs made by the Gao family and the current sulphur bombs are one in the sky and the other underground. If you want to talk about the power, it is impossible to compare."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on with the trick Lord Ye made today?...The flashing and crackling sounds. Although it's a little smaller, it's indeed lightning, right?"

"...Don't say, really, don't you call that electricity? It must be."

"You said, what is Lord Ye going to do? This is all publicly taught, saying that we can learn it. Lord Ye doesn't take the gods seriously, right? This will cause trouble if you reveal the secrets of heaven."

"Stop talking nonsense. Lord Ye has said so many times. Whether it is an airship, arbor bomb or an electricity, it is all science. Science! Do you understand?"

Ye Tao never expected that his demonstration to attract everyone's interest in learning electrical science actually triggered a debate on mystery and science in Ye's workshop. Because Ye Tao has always explained the truth clearly when teaching technology and establishing a technical system, many people in Ye's workshop have transformed from agnosticists to firm believers in science.

In the eyes of some people, Ye Tao's demonstration of the entire workshop is not surprising at all. It is the elites in this research institute who have been following Ye Tao to make various experimental instruments. Strictly speaking, it is teaching aids. This group of people were also the first to listen to Ye Tao explain the basic principles of electricity. After all, Ye Tao is not the kind of person who has never touched the electromagnetic content after the college entrance examination. In the original time and space, as an industrial designer, it is unimaginable that he does not understand the electromagnetic content. Although it is similar

After so many years, I can't help but feel a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but as the explanation progressed, Ye Tao became more and more skilled. Afterwards, he looked through the records of the technicians and technicians who took notes carefully, picked up the missing, and revised it, and a basic set of electromagnetic tutorials came out. This version of electromagnetic tutorial is really too simple, basically from the beginning to the difficulty of high school. After all, it is meaningless to talk more deeply into the current technical conditions.

After Ye Tao held eight electrical lectures for more than half a month, the entire workshop will produce the first batch of electrical products, including electric lights and other things according to Ye Tao's requirements. In fact, regardless of the difficulty of mass production, Ye Tao has successfully made quite bright light bulbs in the research institute. There is a vacuum-drawing glass cover on the outside and tungsten wire inside. It is very simple and classic. But the more classic is that the technicians of the Ye Tao Workshop found that metal conducts electricity and heat. After they enthusiastically tried various materials, they actually quickly created an electric furnace. The Ye Tao Workshop created a total of four windmills for wind power generation tests, and also conducted trial production and testing of power transmission and distribution systems and lifting voltage equipment.

The wired telegraph equipment is simple and easy to understand. With the basic principles and the production process of all aspects, it was immediately prepared and started to conduct online testing. Between Ye's workshop and the villa outside Ningyuan City where Ye Tao's family lives, the telegraph wires began to be set up, and two telegraph stations were also established. But what is more troublesome is that the technology of sending telegraph messages to specific telegraph stations without affecting other telegraph stations has not been solved. After all, Ye Tao is not a god. It is no problem to develop some basic equipment according to the basic electrical principles, but this kind of communication is

The switch technology is a bit troublesome. However, telegraph equipment can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of information transmission. Officials of the Communications Bureau quickly came up with a plan to establish six major regional telegraph stations and 32 small telegraph stations throughout Yunzhou. The General Administration will set up in Gondor in the future. The small station will only send reports to the partition main station, and multiple lines will be set up between the main station and the main station to transmit the message in parallel. Then send it to the sub-station through the main station. Although it is a bit complicated, through such a relay method, it should be possible to achieve a relatively good communication level without the development of switch technology.
