In the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Slaiden Water is the undisputed giant.
Under him, there are various research groups directly responsible to him, responsible for researching the application of electricity in different directions.
For example, the use of electric current to drive mechanical transmission is used as power.
Or, directly use electric current as a weapon.
There are more whimsical proposals. After all, electricity has just been discovered not long ago, and everything needs inspiration.
William Jessley was responsible for the part of transmitting information through electric current.
Below him are various researchers.
After the researcher goes down, it is the turn of research assistants like Sulu, and even worse, Andrew, who are considered to be the bottom of the pyramid.
"We know... that the flow of electricity is fast, very fast! And experiments with electrostatic reactions have shown that..."
Soon after, William Jessley came to the scene and said excitedly: "If we can complete the plan and let the current carry the information we want it to carry, it will surpass all postmen, horse-drawn carriages, and even trains! It will become the best in the new era. information carrier!"
Sulu stood next to him, silently observing the experimental device in front of him.
It has a complex circuit, divided into thirty-six lines, which are submerged in different salt water pipes.
There are detailed markings on each salt water pipe, which are common Hebrew letters and some common symbols.
This is the receiving terminal, which will be used to express the information in the current.
"How is the status of the receiving terminal?"
Hearing William's question, Sulu hurried forward to check: "Everything is normal!"
"Very good! I'm going to start!"
William stood a few meters away, pressing the typewriter in his hand.
As he typed a letter, an electric current passed through the circuit and came to different salt water tubes, where electrolysis occurred, producing tiny blisters.
"Slow down! Slow down... quick, record!"
Cecilia looked at this scene, her cheeks flushed with excitement: "Green... tree... castle!"
This is not stuttering, but information typed out letter by letter.
"That's right, it's 'Green Tree Fort'! Haha..."
William laughed: "We did it!"
All of a sudden, everyone in the laboratory cheered.
"Is it the prototype of the telegram?" During the cheers, Sulu said to himself: "It's a pity...it's not practical at all."
"good!"
After a few more attempts, William made a decision: "Report the results of the experiment and apply for more funding... I'm going to challenge 100 meters this time, no! A distance of 1,000 meters!"
Seeing so many people cheering, Sulu really had a toothache.
After the experiment, the office.
"Professor, can I come in?"
Sulu knocked on the door outside.
Because William didn't accept him as a student, he couldn't call him a tutor.
"Can!"
William's voice came from inside, and when he saw Sulu entering the door, he rarely showed a smile.
This is because the experiment was successful and he was in a good mood. The second is that time has slowly proved that Sulu is indeed very capable.
"I heard that you have been studying in the public reference room recently? Yes, very good... Electricity is a new subject, but I believe in its potential!"
William laughed.
"I have great confidence in this, and there is one more thing!"
Sulu smiled and handed over two pages of paper: "This is the paper I am going to publish, what do you think, Professor?"
"Direct current conjecture?"
William looked at it, and his eyes lit up: "Not bad! Very good... It has inspired me to some extent! I want to do two more experiments. I think it is worth 10 points. With this paper alone, you can Enough to be promoted to a researcher!"
"Thank you!" Sulu said politely, and finally mentioned the intention of coming: "Today's experiment is definitely hopeful for current information... But I think it still has some problems, it is too unstable..."
It was a bit embarrassing to say this in public. After choosing the experiment, Sulu said privately: "If it's just an experiment, it's nothing, but it's almost impossible to put it into production. Maybe we should change our thinking!"
"Change your thinking!"
William's staid face stood up again: "Do you think I will fail the experiment?"
"No, professor... I mean, the experiment may be successful, but it will be very difficult to continue down this road!" Sulu tactfully put forward his suggestion.
"go out!"
William's face darkened: "Remember, you are just an assistant! And science... requires constant exploration, especially new subjects!"
"Feel sorry!"
Sulu turned around and left.
After leaving the information building, he looked at the colorful clouds in the sky and sighed.
Not everyone has his experience and knows which is a good road and which is a dead end.
But scientific research just needs some iron heads.
Only when you can't go on at all, and your head is broken, can you prove that this path is wrong and you should give up!
…
late at night.
In the dormitory, on the desk, Sulu is writing at his desk: "A few conjectures about the future of direct current..."
In any case, I still have to write the thesis and get the ten points.
After William's comments today, he has more confidence in this paper.
I don't know how long it has passed, Sulu finished the last full stop, stood up, and stretched.
Before he came to the window, he looked at the almost pitch-black night outside, as well as the sky full of stars and moon: "This was the life I planned, but unfortunately..."
All-inclusive board and lodging, generous treatment.
Basically, it is difficult to find the same job even for college students.
If according to the original plan, Sulu would release the knowledge he knew bit by bit, and finally won the title of a theoretical physicist.
By the way, if you eat patents or start a company, you can complete a gorgeous transformation, become a successful capitalist, and let the Botley family shine in the White Eagle Federation.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the dawn of the gods changed all this.
"Even... not only the mystical side, but even the physics must change because of them!"
"For this reason, I must improve my status as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if I am a little radical!"
Sulu returned to the desk, picked up the last paper, and began to write down some new knowledge points in his memory.
After becoming an extraordinary person, especially one with spiritual specialties, he found that his memory became clearer and clearer. Whether it was before or after time travel, he could basically recall almost everything in retrospect.
This is very helpful for him to sort out the treasures of previous life knowledge.
"According to observations during this period, in the field of electromagnetic informatics, the team led by Professor William is indeed top-notch, and their ultimate goal is the telegraph?"
"Actually... the team has almost completed some pre-requisite knowledge points, and there is only one idea for the rest!"
This is the difficulty of scientific research.
Obviously the preconditions are all met, but they can't find the right path, missing the apple of Newton.
But Sulu is different!
The experience of his previous life allowed him to avoid detours of decades or even hundreds of years, and go directly to the most correct direction.
"Morse code! That's you!"
