Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1997: This prince is so tired

It has not been a year or two for Datang to engage in telegraphy. The Datang Telegraph Company has long been established and operated.

Not long after the telegraph was invented, the Datang Telegraph Company had already built a complete local wired telegraph system along the railway line, and gradually reduced the cost.

Up to now, the telegraph has become an indispensable part of the life of the Tang people, and it is used to report safety to the family when going out for a long journey.

And some people in the upper class, they have more interpersonal communication, so many people will read telegrams and letters in addition to the newspaper of the day after getting up every morning.

But at that time, although the telegraph network of Datang Telegraph Company claimed to have achieved the level of telegraph offices in every county, it was still limited to land.

The laying of the submarine cable is even more difficult than the Datang Telegraph Company imagined.

The investment is big, the risk is big, and the most important thing is that the technology does not pass the test.

But even if the investment is large, the risk is high, and the technical difficulty is high, it has to be done. Datang Telegraph Company subsidized the Royal Institute of Technology for research, and ran to the experiment as soon as the results came out.

The submarine cable between Dayuan Island and the mainland has been laid three times in succession!

Halfway through the first laying, the cable broke...

The second laying was successful, but it didn't work for a few days, and then somehow it didn't work anymore.

It wasn't until the third laying that it was considered a success.

Then the Datang Telegraph Company tried to lay the submarine cable from Shanghai to Edo, and it was successful.

The Nanyang submarine cable network was also laid.

It mainly connects the four regions of Luzon, Banten, Malacca and Australia.

After its success, Datang Telegraph Company is cautiously engaged in Pacific submarine cables and Indian Ocean submarine cables.

The first laying of the Pacific cable was also very unlucky, and it was not successful. The second laying was successful.

After the successful laying of the Pacific submarine cable this year, it officially means that the Jinling side can obtain real-time communication with the American side.

In the future, as soon as there is trouble in North America, Jinling will be able to know.

Instead of the previous situation, even if a fast communication ship is used, it takes more than half a month to know the news.

But even so, Li Xuan was actually not satisfied. The cable telegraph still has relatively big defects, especially the cable telegraph with such a long distance. If you encounter something, the cable will have to be scrapped.

In order to obtain true global communication, it is necessary to rely on radio communication systems.

And the radio, which has been studied for many years, has seen the light recently.

Li Xuan has already seen the report of the Electromagnetic Project Team of the Royal Institute of Technology.

They have successfully sent and received electromagnetic signals in experiments, and now they are building prototypes from experiments for real testing.

Li Xuan attaches great importance to this, even more than the launch of the latest model of the Navy's battleships.

The navy's battleships are useless for the current empire except for show, but the radio thing is different.

This is Datang's weapon to build a global empire!

As long as there is this thing, regardless of whether it is in the Americas or Europe, Jinling will know immediately what happens, and there is no need to worry about the communication line being cut off.

Once something happens, the Jinling side can immediately dispatch troops by radio, even if the troops are in the depths of the ocean thousands of miles away, they can be directly contacted and dispatched by radio.

Based on the importance of radio, Li Xuan went to the Royal Institute of Technology to inspect again, and this time he was accompanied by a large number of important officials. Even with busy affairs, he was only 30 years old this year, but he already seemed to be in his 40s. The prince Li Hao, who was about the same age, was also called by Li Xuan to inspect together.

The father and son got off the carriage, and on the way to the laboratory, Li Xuan glanced at Li Hao and sighed in his heart.

This son is working too hard. He is busy with work every day. Quietly, the wrinkles on his face are more than his own...

Immediately he said, "Prince, work is very important, but it is necessary to combine work and rest. The Queen said that you haven't been to see her for a long time. Take a break and go to see your mother!"

Hearing this, Li Hao raised his head, with thick dark circles under his eyes like a smoky makeup, and said, "Father, it's not that I don't want to go. The economic integration plan has just been launched recently, and there are so many things to do. point!"

Li Xuan said, "Being busy with work is not an excuse not to see your mother. When the inspection is over, you can go directly to see her!"

Li Xuan said so, Li Hao opened his mouth several times, but did not refute, but said, "Erchen understands, and when I look back, I cancel the chemical industry development conference to see my mother!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Is that right? I, Tang Dynasty, established the country with filial piety. As a prince, you must lead by example!"

Father and son don't talk much at ordinary times, and after saying this briefly, they all shut their mouths.

At this time, several director professors of the Royal Institute of Technology, the princes and the marquis had already come out to greet them. While the father and the emperor were still receiving them, Li Hao recruited a little and called his accompanying secretary over. The Chemical Development Conference has been postponed until tomorrow!"

When the secretary of the camp heard this, he was a little worried, "If it is tomorrow, the time may not be arranged!"

Li Hao frowned slightly after hearing this, "Can't you squeeze in time for a meeting?"

The secretary of the camp directly took out a small notebook, and then said bitterly, "This, there is really no time to arrange, tomorrow morning, Your Highness, on behalf of the royal family, will come to the square in front of the palace to watch the sunrise flag raising ceremony, and Meet the people and announce the next year's royal family's academic aid plan for poor children"

"After the flag-raising ceremony, Your Highness will participate in the duty meeting of the Imperial Study Room. After the duty meeting is over, it will be around nine o'clock. Your Highness will meet with a few educators and hold an educational symposium to discuss the solution to the difficulty of schooling for the underprivileged children."

"At 9:30, your Royal Highness will meet the new ambassador of the King of Spain, accept the credentials, and discuss European issues. At 10:00, you will meet the Governor of Haidong Province, listen to his debriefing, and discuss the Empire's Central Asia and West Asia strategies.

"At eleven o'clock, I will go to the Auditorium of the Naval Command to hold a promotion and award ceremony for this year's naval meritorious officers."

"There will be more arrangements for tomorrow afternoon~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can't even make time for it... Originally, there was still time for lunch, but because of the change of schedule this morning, it was already scheduled for a symposium and a meeting this morning. The textile industry meeting has been moved to noon tomorrow."

Li Hao's face was a little unsightly, "Then what about tomorrow night, move the meeting to dinner time."

The secretary of the camp was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still said, "Your Highness, tomorrow night is the time for you and the princess to watch the drama together. The princess has already made an appointment half a month in advance..."

"Furthermore, this is the third time the Crown Princess has made an appointment. The Queen's Lady Zhou has already given the minister an ultimatum, saying that if the minister dares to temporarily change the itinerary and cancel the appointment, she will let the minister go without food. …”

As he said that, he bit his head again and said with a sad face, "His Royal Highness, there is nothing I can do!"

Li Hao closed his eyes slightly after listening to the words of his battalion secretary!

This prince is so tired!
