Chapter 25: The famed fisherman rose to fame

The experiments performed by Wang Yi were exactly the electromagnetic experiments conducted by Hertz at the University of Karlsruhe on the Rhine in Germany in 1887. After that, Wang Yi obtained the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves based on the experimental data, and then multiplied by the frequency of the circuit oscillation, and finally obtained the forward speed of the electromagnetic waves. The exact 300,000 kilometers per second, that is, the speed of light. This also verified Maxwell's amazing prediction that light is just a type of electromagnetic wave.

Later, other scientific researchers from Dashang Electromagnetic Laboratory continued to work hard and successively conducted reflection, diffraction and interference experiments of electromagnetic waves. The consistency between electromagnetic waves and light waves was further confirmed. However, the results of this experiment have not been announced to the outside world for the time being, and the excitement is only transmitted within the Dashang Industrial Laboratory. The reason is very simple. The discovery contains huge commercial interests. To be more precise, Wang Yi wants to win all patents of radio around the world, including wireless communications and wireless broadcasting.

Later, the scholars from the Industrial Laboratory visited this magical electromagnetic experiment were not only the scholars of the Industrial Laboratory, but also the students of the primary school affiliated to Dashang. This was Wang Yi's order, not to show off, but to let these children have a concept from an early age and understand what a scientific experiment is. Even if such a goal cannot be achieved, as long as they can know that there are electromagnetic waves in this world, Wang Yi will be satisfied.

Zhang Jingxiao was sitting opposite Wang Yi at this time. The young man who came with him was sitting next to him. However, Wang Yi was not the blind people in the TV series, at least he could tell the difference between male and female. When he was so angry that he had no choice but to do it on purpose, pretending to be stupid, or his personality was relatively alternative. The coldest joke that Wang Yi had ever heard of this kind of thing was that Liang Shanbo went to Zhu's family to find Yingtai. As a result, after learning that Yingtai was a daughter, he vomited blood to death not long after he returned home...

Seeing that Wang Yi always looked at his female companion, Zhang Jingxiao also understood what Wang Yi meant, so he quickly introduced: "This is my aunt's daughter, named Qin Luan. She dressed up like this just for the convenience of travel."

"The daughter of your aunt's family is still the surname Qin...Uncle Qin?" Wang Yi suddenly realized: "Qin Wanfeng, Shanxi?"

“That’s right!”

When Wang Yi mentioned his father's name, the girl immediately glared at Wang Yiyi.

Wang Yi didn't care, but Shen Yazhi, who was behind him, glared back bravely, which made Qin Luan, who was not paying attention.

"Mr. Today's experiment is probably going to shock Huanyu. After the news is sent back to Europe and Citi, I don't know how to make a sensation." Zhang Jingxiao took classes with the Wen class, so he was not completely ignorant of electromagnetics.

"I didn't actually want this." Wang Yi shook his head and said.

"I wonder why sir said that?" Zhang Jingxiao was puzzled, and even Shen Yazhi showed an expression of concern.

"This electromagnetic wave experiment seems simple, but there are huge commercial interests hidden behind it. Whether it is electromagnetic communication or radio, they are all products that lead the times. These have also been mentioned when I taught you."

Zhang Jingxiao nodded.

When Qin Luan sat next to Zhang Jingxiao when she heard it was for money, she immediately snorted coldly and whispered: "I'm covered in a bad smell!"

Wang Yi was not polite and directly retorted, saying, "I said, girl, your father is the same as me!"

"you!"

"What are you?" Wang Yiyi glared and said, "Speaking of this, your father and I are also in the same age and in terms of seniority, should you call me uncle? Is there anyone who talks to elders like this?"

Qin Luan's small chest was so angry that she was gasping for breath. She bit her lower lip with anger on her face, then turned her face and stopped talking.

Zhang Jingxiao hurriedly, apologized, and said, "Sir, my cousin is rude, I hope you forgive me." Wang Yidao was not really trying to make things difficult for him, but he just didn't want the girl to interrupt and waved her hand, so he just wanted to scold her, but when he saw the girl's tears rolling around her eyes, he couldn't say more harsh words, so he had to pull out the topic.

"Since that's the case, why do you still need to announce this experiment?"

Wang Yi smiled at this time and said, "If I, the person who discovered electromagnetic waves, cannot produce the commercial application of electromagnetic waves, then I deserve it if the relevant patents in this field were snatched away by others! Who said that I don't have the ability!"

Zhang Jingxiao nodded.

"This world needs China's voice!" Wang Yi looked at Zhang Jingxiao and said earnestly: "We have been blank in the scientific community led by the West for too long. With the four great inventions of the ancestors, we have claimed that we are a country of heaven. We don't know that in the eyes of Westerners, we are just a group of backward barbarians."

"It's true that sir!" Zhang Jingxiao sighed.

"But compared with the above two things, I actually value the last point more. I hope that the contributions we make to electromagnetic waves and the sensational effect it brings can make the majority of Chinese youth know that there is still science in this world. If they can devote themselves to scientific research, it doesn't matter even if they lose a great commercial benefit." Wang Yi stopped and continued: "If China wants to become prosperous and strong, it is impossible to rely on a big businessman alone. Only by allowing the young people of the entire Chinese nation to study for the rise of China, let them understand science, and value science, then which country dares to ride on our heads to show off their power with a few broken ships and cannons?"

Zhang Jingxiao looked moved and stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Yi.

"I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Listen to the words of Mr. I will make the filial piety clear. Mr.'s mind is not as good as possible."

Qin Luan sat next to Zhang Jingxiao. Although she couldn't understand the conversation between Wang Yi and his cousin, she always felt that they were talking about big things. However, she still refused to admit defeat to Wang Yi and said, "I have been talking for a long time, but I am just a person who seeks fame!"

It is basically impossible to block the electromagnetic wave experiment. Not long after, Wang Yi's name was transmitted to Europe and the United States with the telegram!

In the history of the development of modern science, a Chinese name finally appeared!

Not long after, European and American scientific research institutions and universities sent congratulatory messages to Wang Yi and invited him to come and give lectures when it was convenient.

Of course, Wang Yi did not have this time. He is now urging the entire electromagnetic laboratory to accelerate the commercialization of various functions of electromagnetic waves, especially the research on components represented by electronic tubes. Samples of radio communication equipment are estimated to be available for market at the end of 1876, followed by patent applications and factory construction.

Chen Yazhi was watching Wang Yi have a meeting with a group of foreign researchers. She held her little head and listened carefully. Although she couldn't understand, she still worked very hard.

"Sir, can we make a final decision for the fluctuations of light now?" Emma Kenny asked with a little excitement. He is the deputy director of the electromagnetic department of the Dashang Industrial Laboratory, second only to the literary class students under Wang Yi. He originally had Dashang just to support his family, but suddenly he found that God was not bad to him. He did not expect that there would be such progress in the backward Qing Dynasty.

Of course, everyone present wanted to get Wang Yi's affirmative answer to the question about Guang, but unfortunately things went against their wishes.

"You guys follow me!"

There were more than 60 people in the entire electromagnetic laboratory, and everyone followed Wang Yi to the laboratory on the second floor that verified the existence of electromagnetic waves.

Wang Yi said at this time: "There is no doubt that light is a kind of electromagnetic wave, but there is one thing that is now placed in front of the fluctuation theory... Light needs to spread in the ether, so who can tell me what ether is? Has anyone verified its existence? Or, more precisely, does ether really exist?"

If Wang Yi's electromagnetic wave test is an obedience and verification of Maxwell's classical theory, then his suspicion of the existence of ether is completely rebellious.

Everyone looked at Wang Yi in shock, except for the only eight students in the lab.

"Sir, do you think ether does not exist?" a young scholar asked in a low voice.

Wang Yi looked at everyone present and smiled and said, "Now no one can find evidence of the existence of ether. Anyone's explanation of ether is far-fetched. Don't you think there is a more reasonable explanation than those far-fetched ones!?"

What is this explanation... Everyone present understands it in their hearts.

Wang Yi continued: "Just like people used to think that the so-called phlogistin would be consumed when burning, everyone believed in the existence of the so-called phlogistin? But does it really exist? Don't you think that today's ether has too many similarities with the phlogistin of that year?"

Everyone fell into deep thought. They felt that Wang Yi's voice had a deafening magic. They were cheering for the fluctuations and singing loudly, but suddenly they found that there was a wall in front of them that could not be overcome.

"Sir, since we have proved that light is a type of electromagnetic wave, can we still deny the existence of ether?" Emmaul Kendi's statement is also very reasonable.

"Oh, Mr. Kendy, you are changing your concept. Just a type of electromagnetic wave, why does ether necessarily exist?"

People looked at Wang Yi in surprise, "Can the waves spread without medium?"

Wang smiled but said without saying a word, and after a long time, he said, "I changed the topic and brought everyone to this laboratory just now to let everyone see a phenomenon."

After that, he started to do something. In people's curious and slightly excited eyes, he opened a small hole in the closed black curtain, and a beam of light shot in, which happened to shine at the gap in the copper ring. Later, he conducted a comparison experiment. What is the difference between electromagnetic wave experiments under light and light?

After measurement, people were surprised to find that under the conditions of light, the generation of electroflowers seemed to be easier.
