Chapter 1742: The Initial Telegraph Machine

"Groundbreaking progress!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up, and he continued reading. It was written: "We have recently discovered that there is a connection between electricity and magnets; electricity can be attracted by magnets."

"Moreover, electricity possesses an attractive force just like magnets, only electricity can attract paper to float. Based on this phenomenon, we have manufactured a device that can be used to transmit information."

"We call it a Telegraph Machine."

"However, electricity cannot be stored for long, so we have adopted the method of generating electricity by rubbing wool to make the Telegraph Machine operate, but this is too stupid."

"We have searched for several things capable of storing electricity. One is to use a Glass bottle with water, connected by copper, and the mouth of the bottle sealed with a rubber stopper. It can allow us to capture this electricity."

Seeing this, Liu Zheng revealed a satisfied smile; the prototype of the Telegraph Machine had already been developed.

Now, the key to the problem was to develop a Capacitor to make the electrical device truly operate. He thought of the knowledge he had learned in his previous life.

Now that there was a basic prototype of a Capacitor, such a Capacitor could not achieve the required effect.

After thinking of this, Liu Zheng used the knowledge from his previous life to write a reply.

"Oil is more conductive than water; you can try using oil barrels. Furthermore, magnets and electricity have a relationship. As far as I know, using copper to cut between two magnets can generate energy."

"If the magnetic force is strong enough, the energy produced will be greater. You can try it."

"……"

After finishing the reply, Liu Zheng began to think about the next step of the plan. The invention and creation of electricity were both very difficult, and Liu Zheng did not have such profound understanding in this area.

But he knew that electrical energy must simultaneously involve three steps: power generation, discharging, and electricity usage.

However, the current level of scientific research could not yet reach this step; there was not even a single power plant now.

Liu Zheng sighed. If the Capacitor was successfully invented, the construction of power plants would be much faster.

By that time, setting up power transmission in Dragon Flame would make Dragon Flame's industrial level lead by a century.

Engine, Generator, and Telegraph Machine.

These inventions were all crucial for the future.

Liu Zheng handed the letter to the servant to be delivered. He sighed in his heart; Dragon Flame still needed more talent.

The research and development progress of the Liangzhou Laboratory was already a bit slow.

The next step must be to accelerate the search for and recruitment of talent.

However, this matter could not be rushed.

This matter required long-term planning. According to Liu Zheng's prediction, Europe would definitely enter a turbulent era next, with the current struggle for the throne between Prussia and Austria.

The struggle for maritime hegemony between Britain and France.

It looked like a very massive war, but the countries that were truly attacked and led to domestic instability were very rare.

However, the coming Europe would surely be a turbulent era.

According to the history he learned in his previous life, Liu Zheng knew that the Industrial Revolution had already risen, and human research into natural science would impact so-called religious doctrine.

Coupled with the fact that since the Industrial Revolution, those merchants had amassed a great deal of wealth.

But they had not established a relatively complete order, which would lead to a series of riots breaking out.

According to the information Liu Zheng received, the domestic situation in France was not that good; religion, imperial power, and capitalists were the three forces squeezing the blood of the lowest-level people.

Liu Zheng did not know if the history of this world would repeat itself like his previous life, but Europe would definitely be turbulent.

If Dragon Flame wanted to attract talent, it had to relax its policies.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng wrote a second letter to Dragon Flame.

The first sentence of the letter: "My darling Xie Chan……"

After a bout of unspeakable affection, Liu Zheng used concise words to write down the loose policy for foreigners to immigrate to Dragon Flame.

After writing the second letter, Liu Zheng personally handed it to Li Hongtian, asking him to send this letter back to Dragon Flame.

Liu Zheng looked at Li Hongtian and said solemnly: "Lord Li, there is one more thing that requires you to negotiate."

Li Hongtian put on a rigorous attitude: "Please give your orders, Lord Liu."

Liu Zheng looked at the map, his eyes narrowing.

His hand landed on one spot, and he said directly: "I want you to negotiate in Saxony."

Li Hongtian was stunned. Negotiating with Saxony? He looked at the location on the map; Saxony was located inland and belonged to the buffer zone between Prussia and Austria.

According to his understanding, Saxony had already had its most important city, Dresden, turned into a sea of flames by the Dragon Flame army.

There were no factories left, nor any resources.

What was there to negotiate with them?

"We, Dragon Flame, are talking about cooperation with Saxony?"

"Discussing victory conditions?"

Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "I want you to talk to them about submission. The geographical location of this country, Saxony, is highly strategic."

"We cannot just stay in a small port city on the coast of Austria; we need to advance toward the interior of Europe."

"Our occupation of Saxony is particularly important."

Li Hongtian understood; Liu Zheng was laying out a plan to conquer Europe: "My lord, forgive my bluntness, Europe is different from India, and it is not a country like the Li Dynasty. The culture here is worlds apart from ours. Conquering them will only bring chaos to Dragon Flame."

"That is why I need you to negotiate a treaty of submission with them, rather than directly subjugating Saxony."

"Tell the King of Saxony that there are only two paths before him."

"Submit to Dragon Flame, hand over military power and diplomatic power, and we, Dragon Flame, will implement economic recovery for Saxony."

"The second path: if he does not agree, then we can only let Saxony change its master."

Hearing Liu Zheng's words filled with killing intent, Li Hongtian's heart trembled slightly. He bowed and said in a deep voice: "I know how to negotiate now."

Liu Zheng gave a hum.

"In addition, accelerate the progress of the Rail construction in Austria. Dragon Flame has recently been developing Train Carriages to transport supplies, and I believe there will be results soon."

Once the heavy-duty carriages for transporting supplies are successfully developed, the process of industrialization in their Dragon Flame will be greatly accelerated.

In the places currently occupied by Longyan, and in the Factories built there, there is as yet no place that possesses highly advanced transportation technology.

Everything is done by human labor.

But doing it this way is far too slow; the slow transport of coal will directly affect the production capacity of the Factories.

Liu Zheng exhaled and cast these matters to the back of his mind.

He looked at the map; after Saxony surrendered, Longyan truly gained the ability to influence the European battlefield.

Liu Zheng looked at the small green buds already appearing on the leaves outside, and he was lost in thought.

Winter is about to pass, and Europe should remain calm for a while longer, though he heard that Sweden is currently attacking Prussia.

Liu Zheng smiled and did not pay much attention to this matter; Sweden is located above Prussia, which is too far from Longyan, so he will let Frederick II fend for himself.

After an endless coma, Shi Yu sat up abruptly from the bed. Please,

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment—all sorts of emotions surged into his heart.

Where is this?

Subsequently, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more bewildered.

A single dormitory room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward right now.

And his own body... how could there not be a single injury?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a very handsome look.

But the problem is, this is not him!, read the latest chapter content ad-free for free.

The previous him was a handsome, extraordinary young man in his twenties who had been working for some time.

But now, no matter how one looks at this appearance, it is only the age of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and face have both changed; this is no longer a matter of surgery or not, but of immortal arts.

He had actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be... that he has transmigrated?

Besides the mirror placed in a position with obviously poor feng shui at the head of the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up to look, and the titles instantly made him fall silent.

"Essential Handbook for Novice Beast Tamers"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"Evaluation Guide for Different-Species Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The names of the first two books are still normal, but what is going on with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's expression turned solemn, and he reached out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he wanted to open the third book to see what on earth this thing was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a massive amount of memories surged forth like a tide.
