People liked to be clean and tidy. Only in this way could they feel comfortable. If all kinds of messy parts and wires were piled up in front of them, they would feel uncomfortable just by looking at them. Therefore, making a box that could accommodate all the scattered parts became a must.
There were several requirements for the box. First, it must be able to accommodate all the parts. Except for the transmitter and earphones, these two parts did not need to be put into the box. The rest of the parts had to be put into the box. Second, all the parts had to be able to be used normally after being put into the box. They also had to be easy to disassemble for maintenance. If the stability of the box was reduced due to the interference of the parts after being put in, then the loss would outweigh the gain. In addition, the material and workmanship of the box had to be particular. It was even necessary to carve some exquisite patterns on the surface.
After all, this thing was very rare and expensive in the Tang Empire. It was impossible for ordinary people to have it. Since it was for the use of the rich and powerful, it naturally had to be particular. If the appearance was too ugly, then it would not be good. It had to be exquisite so that it could match the residence of the rich and powerful. It could even become a very high-grade piece of furniture.
After lunch, Ang Lee and the technical talents carried out a series of experiments. There were no accidents at all. The experiments were very successful. This was enough to prove that the machine was very reliable and could be used completely. In this way, there was only one last step left. That was to quickly prepare the box and put all these messy parts into the box. Then, they could take out the finished product and show it to the emperor.
In fact, the box had been prepared long ago, but because they were not sure what the final parts would be and the specific size, in order to avoid being unable to fit them, the box was made relatively large. It was about the size of a palanquin. Moreover, handles were installed on both sides. It could be easily lifted like a palanquin. It was easy to move the box.
Because there were only two machines in the beginning, two boxes were also made. The material of the box was wood, and it was a very expensive red sandalwood. The surface was polished and the carvings were more exquisite. There were all kinds of auspicious beasts and beautiful flowers and trees. In short, it was a very high-grade piece of furniture no matter how one looked at it.
Since the size of the box was large enough, it was naturally easy to put all kinds of parts inside. Moreover, it could be placed very loosely. In this way, it was still very beneficial for the heat dissipation of the machine itself. If the design of the box was too small, it would cause the internal heat dissipation of the box to occur. This would not be good.
The heat output of the telegraph machine was not very high, but in summer, even if the heat output was not very high, the temperature inside the box was enough. Therefore, it was good to be as spacious as possible. Moreover, the bigger the box would appear more imposing.............................. the box...............
..................................................
. The craftsman reminded him.
"Well, it's indeed not bad. Oh right, stop the experiment temporarily. Take out the two boxes and put the machine in the box. Then, do the experiment again to see if it is still reliable. Moreover, this experiment must be carried out continuously. Someone must continue the command experiment at night to see the effect of persisting for a night."
Ang Lee requested.
"Yes, we will go prepare now."
The craftsman accepted the order and fixed the various parts of the telegraph machine in the box according to Ang Lee's request. Because the box was too big, the installation process was very smooth. There was enough space for every part, and the connecting wires were arranged very well. After the box door was closed, the whole machine looked quite elegant and luxurious. At first glance, it was a very high-grade item that could highlight the temperament of a noble family.
The transmitter keys and earphones were also personally designed by Ang Lee. They were much bigger than the ones in the future, and there were many engravings on them. Although it was not necessary, some engravings were necessary to highlight the nobility. After all, Ang Lee invented this thing to serve the nobility.
"Assistant Minister Li, it's all done. Everything is in the box and has been checked carefully. There shouldn't be any problems."
The craftsman reported happily.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start the experiment quickly!"
Ang Lee urged anxiously.
The craftsmen quickly got to work. They kept sending instructions to each other to verify the reliability of the machine. However, the dozen or so people were exhausted. However, they were also very excited. Back then, when Ang Lee taught them, they felt that it was quite boring. Now that they saw that their instructions could be sent out, they were very happy.
As long as this machine could be popularized and used on a large scale, then this kind of talent needed to be trained on a large scale. At present, the number of people trained was too little. It was far from enough.
An hour passed quickly. The telegraph machine did not have the slightest malfunction. This made Ang Lee quite satisfied. This showed that these parts were placed in the box and there was no impact on the use. Next, it could be carried into the palace for the Emperor to admire.
"Very good. You have done well. This experiment can be considered a success. Tomorrow, you can enter the palace for the experiment. However, you still can't rest. From now on, you have to carry out the experiment continuously. You can't stop for a moment. When I come over tomorrow, tell me the results of the experiment."
Ang Lee said.
Although the experiment had been successful and there had been no malfunctions for a long time, the duration of the experiment was still not long enough. It had to be able to withstand the test of time in order to make Li An feel at ease. Furthermore, the longer the period of time without malfunctions, the better the quality and reliability of the transmitter would be.
After explaining everything, Ang Lee went back. The whole day had made Ang Lee very tired. He had to go back and have a good rest.
The telegraph machine that was developed this time needed to be connected by wires instead of wireless. This was a pity. After all, the value of the telegraph machine was that it could transmit messages to very far places. The further the message was transmitted, the greater the value. However, under the condition of wire, the further the message was transmitted, the longer the wire was needed and the higher the cost. It would be best if radio could be developed.
As long as radio was done well, the transmission distance would be very long. There were three main ways of radio transmission. One was sky wave, which used the reflection of the ionosphere to transmit battery waves. It was also known as medium wave transmission. The second was ground wave, which was transmitted along the ground. It was also known as long wave transmission. The third was linear wave transmission, which relied on a large number of relay stations along the way.
Among them, the transmission ability of long wave was very strong. Because it was transmitted close to the ground and could pass through obstacles, it could transmit electromagnetic waves hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles away. However, to achieve global communication, it still needed the help of relay stations. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete this task.
Of course, there was a fourth and more powerful method of transmission, which was satellite relay transmission. This method was much more powerful than the relay stations on the ground. After all, satellites were suspended in the air and had a much wider range of radiation than the relay stations on the ground.
The technological content of satellites was too high. He dared not think about it. However, it was still possible to consider making a radio. This could be done in the future. Now, he just needed to improve the wired telegraph machine.
"Husband, why are you so happy today? You've been so happy since you came in."
Yan Ruyu saw Ang Lee coming back and walked over to ask.
Ang Lee naturally would not hide anything. He quickly told her the truth.
"Oh, husband succeeded. This is great. Can the news really be transmitted thousands of miles away?"
Yan Ruyu was naturally happy.
"Of course. Don't you know what your husband is capable of? I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning and tell His Majesty the good news. I'll personally demonstrate it to His Majesty. "
Ang Lee said happily.
"His Majesty will definitely reward you greatly. In this way, I'm afraid that you won't be able to make it in time for the New Year gift tomorrow."
Yan Ruyu said with a little regret.
The so-called New Year gift was that every year before the New Year, Ang Lee would personally bring a large number of New Year gifts to the homes of the craftsmen. He would give these gifts to the craftsmen to commend them for their hard work this year and ask them to continue to work for him in the coming year.
Although the wages that Ang Lee gave these craftsmen were already very high and there was no need to give them additional New Year gifts, these craftsmen were all skilled workers and were in high demand in Ang Lee's eyes. The loss of any one of them would be a huge loss to Ang Lee. In order to warm the hearts of the people, Ang Lee decided to do this. Moreover, as long as he was free, he would personally go to each of the craftsmen to deliver the gifts. If he was not free, the madams and servants would do it for him. Although it was fine to find anyone to deliver the gifts, doing it himself would show more respect to these craftsmen. During the years that Ang Lee was away in the south, Yan Ruyu had taken his place and personally delivered the New Year gifts to the craftsmen every year. This year was no exception.
There was a time when the weather was bad and there was a delay at home. Yan Ruyu naturally could not complete the task alone, so the other madams came over to help. Everyone went their separate ways to deliver the gifts. Finally, all the New Year gifts were delivered to the craftsmen before the New Year.
The delivery should not take a long time, but there were many craftsmen under Ang Lee's command. There were also more than a hundred skilled craftsmen who were worthy of respect. Moreover, they would not live in the same place. Some lived in the east of the city, some in the west, and there were also many in the south and north of the city. Therefore, it was naturally more time-consuming. In addition, delivering the New Year gifts was not like delivering a package. There was no difference between sending a servant and delivering the gifts personally. The purpose of delivering the New Year gifts personally was to appease the skilled craftsmen. Therefore, every time he arrived at a house, he would have to stop for a while and say some polite words. Of course, he would not stay for a meal, but it was still necessary to have a cup of tea or a cup of wine. In this way, every time he delivered the gifts to a house, it would take some time. A delay of one to two hours was necessary. It would be good if he could deliver five to six houses in two hours. In a day, he would deliver the gifts to over thirty houses. From this, it could be seen that the time to deliver the New Year gifts was quite tight.
Fortunately, the craftsmen would understand Ang Lee and would not care too much. As long as the people that Ang Lee visited were indeed more skilled than them, they would be convinced wholeheartedly.
"It doesn't matter. I should be able to finish the demonstration tomorrow morning. There will be nothing in the afternoon. Even if His Majesty wants to hold a banquet to celebrate, it will be after dark. Madam, go deliver the New Year gifts first. When your husband comes back, I will go with you."
Ang Lee said.
"If my husband goes personally, the craftsmen will be even more encouraged. By the way, there are more New Year gifts for the tenant farmers. I will ask my sisters to deliver them. If they are too busy, I will ask Turtle Ba to help."
Yan Ruyu said.
"Okay, as long as my wife has decided. The tenant farmers do not have much skill. Even if they do not deliver the gifts personally, it is not a big deal. They are far less important than the craftsmen. Your husband's glass workshop is still counting on these old craftsmen. It is better not to neglect these people. As long as they are fully motivated, we will be able to enjoy endless treasures. "
Ang Lee said proudly.
It was not that he was selfish. Everyone was selfish. Respect also depended on who the other party was. Under the premise of limited energy, it was natural to give priority to those who were useful to him. As for those who were not important, he could completely put them aside.
Although he had already returned home, news of the research and development center's experimental progress would continue to be sent back. This was arranged by Ang Lee long ago in order to reassure him.
Fortunately, before he went to bed, the research and development center sent back all good news. There was no news that Ang Lee was unhappy or did not want to hear. The quoted price experiment had achieved comprehensive success. There were no failures for a long time, which made Ang Lee quite satisfied.
The next morning, Ang Lee got up very early. After eating a little food, he prepared to rush to the palace. The two newly developed telegraph machines and the talents of the research and development center would be waiting for Ang Lee at the gate of the palace. This was arranged by Ang Lee long ago.
"My husband, we should also set off."
Yan Ruyu and the others also took a large number of New Year gifts and prepared to give them to the craftsmen and tenant farmers in need.
"Okay, everyone set off. Your husband is going to the palace. You all go do your own things.
After saying that, Ang Lee took a car to the palace. Because he was in a very good mood, the scenery along the way seemed to be different from usual. It looked so beautiful, which made Ang Lee feel even better.
