Chapter four hundred and eighty first everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high
In the morning, in the laboratory, technicians in white coats were busy assembling the redesigned and optimized new telegraph machines, and Yuan Tiangang, the inventor who invented the new technology, was also among them.
It has been more than half a month since the Changan Patent Office that day. With the efforts of many technicians, Yuan Tiangang's new telegram communication technology has been used to improve the telegram machine.
His laboratory is the electrical laboratory of Seiko Institute. It has all kinds of equipment and the technicians are veterans, so it is very smooth to communicate with each other and cooperate with each other.
Yuan Tiangang's new telegraph device, its own-made or modified circuit components with teaching models, were replaced by more precise components of Seiko Institute. Whether it is capacitors, inductors, inverters, or rectifiers, its accuracy is much better than the original accessories.
High-precision inverters can convert DC power into AC power of accurate frequency, so the frequency of AC power signals of different frequencies can be "reached" closer to each other, so there are more "reports" available.
This principle is similar to the soldiers queuing. If the distance between soldiers is long, then the number of soldiers in a row will be smaller in a row of soldiers at a limited distance; if the distance between soldiers is short, the number of soldiers in a row will be larger in a row of soldiers at a same distance limit.
After improvement, the current AC telegram communication can achieve the coexistence of twenty-four "reports" on one telegram line.
This means that the efficiency of the telegraph line has increased greatly. The court spent money to pull a telegraph line, and more areas along the line will enjoy the convenience of telegraph, and the governments in the corresponding regions will be more convenient to deliver ordinary official documents.
On this basis, if a telegram line implements a "time-sharing multi-report system", the telegram mailing and receiving points that can participate in telegram communication will double.
For example, on a line, from 8:00 to 12:00 a.m. (1st time period), there are 24 telegram mailing points in Group A for communication, and from 12:00 noon to 16:00 p.m. (2nd time period), there are 24 telegram mailing points in Group B for communication.
From 16:00 to 20:00 pm (three hours), there are twenty-four telegram mailing and receiving points in Group C for communication.
Such a "time-sharing multi-reporting system" can achieve a total of 72 "points" participating in telegram transmission and reception on a telegram line.
If the time period is divided into 24 hours a day (each time period is four hours), the number of "points" that can participate in telegram transmission and reception will reach 144.
If the telegram lines become two (one line is installed on the original telephone pole), the number will double and become two hundred and eighty-eight.
This is a number that makes people cheer, all based on the technology of AC telegraph. There is no doubt that the day that everyone has been looking forward to for many years has finally arrived.
However, telegraph machines under new technology need to be large-scale practical and must be redesigned and manufactured. Therefore, Yuan Tiangang's "principle verification machine" must become a "mass production machine" and will be sold to various places with the installation of telegraph wires.
The so-called "mass production machine" is a mass-produced machine of the same model. The production process, internal structure and usage method are the same.
With today's technical level, one-line 24 reporting channels can be achieved, so the sending and receiving reports of mass-produced telegraph machines must be able to switch freely at these 24 frequencies.
In order to speed up the transmission of reports, the punched paper tape must be used; for easy maintenance and durability, the machine structure must be optimized and easily disassembled to replace the faulty parts.
Similarly, in order to facilitate mass production, the structure of the mass production machine must also be optimized.
Therefore, how to optimize the "prototype machine" into a "mass production machine" is one of the tasks of Yuan Tiangang and the technicians of the Jingke Academy.
When the new telegraph machine is finalized and the performance is confirmed to be qualified through trial, it will be produced in large quantities. At that time, the telegraph lines drawn by the court and the telegraph mailing points on the line will use such telegraph machines.
In addition, the "Dianyi" that was patented not long ago was designed for DC telegraph lines, so it must also be improved in order to adapt to AC telegraph lines.
For more than half a month, it seemed like a fleeting thing for Yuan Tiangang. During his days in the laboratory of the Seiko Institute, he was like a mouse falling into a rice jar. While he was excited, he always felt that time passed too quickly.
Here, for the first time, he saw how high the level of the dynasty's high-level laboratories were. Looking at the precision lathes and processing machinery, the precision voltmeters, ammeters, and various magical experimental devices, Yuan Tiangang felt that he was worth the trip.
He had been studying divination and physiognomy, trying to find the mystery of the changes in the way of heaven. Since he entered the new world of electricity, he had been deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself.
Electricity is really too mysterious. Yuan Tiangang believes that electrical science is the foundation of enlightenment. Tai Chi (alternative electricity) and Liangyi (direct current) are mysterious and mysterious. If one can master the mystery of it one by one, then understanding the secrets of heaven is just around the corner.
Perhaps, in his lifetime, he would not see that day coming, but if he didn't work hard, he would feel that he would have gone to the world for nothing.
Before we knew it, it was already noon. The busy people finally assembled the "prototype" of the mass-produced new telegraph machine. Everyone looked at Yuan Tiangang and smiled and said, "Sir, please give this machine a name?"
Yuan Tiangang felt strange when he heard this: "Name? Why is this?"
Someone explained: "Sir, any machine sold as a commodity will have a model or name for convenience of sales. For example, steam engines, water pumps, and even steamers, there are models or names."
"Either the name is 'some type', or 'some type', or 'some type', 'some type', 'some type', 'some type two', etc."
"That's how it's done." Yuan Tiangang pondered.
Is this the name given to the son born by the father?
"Thunder-type telegraph machine has demonstrated the ability of multi-channel communication through trial on the two Beijing lines and achieved design indicators. It can enable a single telegraph line to achieve the ability of at least twenty-four telegraph sending and receiving points at the same time."
"If telegram communication adopts a 'time-sharing multi-channel system', the number of telegram mailing and receiving points will increase significantly."
In the Political Affairs Hall, Lin Youdi will be a master of the craftsman, introducing the new telegraph machine "Thunder" to the emperor and the three high officials. This telegraph machine has passed the "trial" of the two capital lines and has good performance.
Yuwen Wen looked at the information in his hand and tasted the word "Thunder", which made him feel a little funny.
"Thunder is not as fast as the momentum of lightning" is used to describe "fast". Compared with the postman's "traveling 800 miles a day", telegraph communication is indeed as fast as thunder, so the new telegraph machine is really good to take this name.
At this moment, Lin Youdi was demonstrating to the three high officials how "Thunder" sent and received telegrams at multiple points at the same time. Yu Wen Wen's attention was all in the information in his hands.
The officials of the top three are basically unable to understand this technical information, but he can, because he has been paying attention to the development of telegraph technology for almost thirty years, so he is very familiar with various nouns and terms.
But it's very strange.
Inverters, rectifiers, transformers, capacitors, inductors, he remembers more or less these terms, but he can't remember them very clearly what their principles are.
Therefore, the "multi-port (multi-port) telegraph machine" that was finally born after more than 20 years can be said to have many "fathers", but he is not among them.
Various circuit components are explored by many technicians through continuous experiments. The crucial "filter" was invented by Yuan Tiangang, a fortune teller who changed his career halfway.
The "Dianyi" that can help long-distance telegraph lines get rid of manual transit was invented by a young lady who was almost scientifically illiterate and had less than two hours of contact with telegraph knowledge.
The hole-belt transmitter is an invention by a technician who loves to punch paper tape music boxes. Its improvement is completed by a railway telegraph transiter who is idle and likes to fiddle with music boxes.
These people have never received any "junior high school" and "high school" physics education, but they can gradually improve the electrical knowledge from Yu Wen Wen's memories and then carry it forward.
The wisdom of countless people is accumulated together, exceeding the wisdom of him, an "abnormal human", and turning something that seems impossible into possibility.
This is true for new telegraph machines, steam machines, and various new technologies. Yuwen Wen felt a vigorous vitality.
In the face of this strong vitality, he suddenly felt that he was old.
Just like a father, he pulled his son with shit and urine. His toddler, who was learning to walk, and he was often pissed on his pants, gradually grew up, began to be the head of the family, began to make decisions, and began to dislike the "old man" and left behind, and could not keep up.
At this moment, this feeling was particularly strong. Yu Wen Wen suddenly felt that from a technical perspective, he was old.
When more and more technical problems emerge and more and more demands for technological development emerge, he is no longer able to answer and cannot give advice. He is really old.
However, my "sons" have grown up and become talents!
Twenty to twenty-five years is the time of a generation. I spent a generation of people cultivating basic science education and research systems. Future scientists have begun to emerge!
The little melancholy in Yuwen Wen's heart was soon washed away by joy, and he gradually lost the ability to be a "technical leader", but this is a good thing.
Chapter completed!
