Chapter 450 Scientific Research
As the sun goes down, the sky glows, and the reflected Vienna is more colorful.
Busy people have no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery.Orabibe is an exception. Recently, the laboratory has assigned him a light job, which is considered a vacation.
Bathed in the evening glow, Olabive did not forget the work at hand.Picking up something like a receiver in your hand and a microphone like that, I yelled.
That's right, this is his day's work.Since it is a vacation, there is naturally not much.Three times a day call test is a day's work.
Initially, it was outside the laboratory, and the distance gradually increased.Now Olabive is more than twenty kilometers away from the laboratory. If it is further away, it will leave Vienna.
It has been five years since Olabiffer worked at the Royal Academy of Sciences. There is no accident. Overtime work by institutions engaged in scientific research is commonplace.
In five years, the longest vacation in Olabiffer was less than three days.The so-called long vacation is nothing more than adjusting the position to a more relaxed position and relaxing the pressure.
Telephone research has always been one of the key projects in the laboratory. As early as the 18th century, Europe had the term "telephone". In 1860, Italy's Antonio Muzzi invented the telephone.
But this thing is not easy to use, or it can't be used at all.The original time and space has always defaulted to Bell inventing the phone in 1876, only because Bell has improved and has practical value.
Now it's natural not to wait so long, this relatively easy to overcome technology was caught by Franz early in the morning.
It can be seen from the test distance that the Royal Academy of Sciences has taken the first step in telephone research, and it is not far from success.
If you do not consider the quality of the call, the phone can now carry out "voice chat in the same city", which has a certain commercial value.
The birth of the phone was originally for the convenience of communication.The coverage of calls over dozens of kilometers is obviously unable to meet the needs of Franz.
Improving call quality has become the biggest problem.As long as there is a breakthrough in voice communication technology, it is convenient to extend the call distance.
It's no big deal with manual wiring. Franz doesn't have such a high expectation value. It is assumed that it can be implemented in one step to realize intelligent line replacement.
Oscar, at the other end of the phone, surprised and complained: "Orabibe, you be quiet, I am not deaf."
Olabiffer was happy, and the call quality improved.Almost every day, new equipment is being replaced, and all kinds of creative ideas are being tested in turns.
Inventions and creations are often very boring, and the final results can only be achieved by looking at the brain holes of researchers and a large number of experiments.
Of course, the most important thing is luck.Almost all scientists admit that scientific research requires luck, and people with bad luck are not suitable for scientific research.
Olabifu, who was in a good mood, directly went back: "Knowing Oscar, if you are deaf, you will not complain about my loud voice.
However, I think your focus should not be on this now.It seems that the quality of the call has improved this time, and the success is not far away."
Increased call quality does not mean success.After all, this is only a dedicated line telephone. In practical use, this thing does not have economic value.
However, the laboratory has this advantage, you can divide the work, at the same time to study multiple technologies, and even each technology research has multiple groups.
The quantitative route is taken, which is too much an advantage over individual researchers.
Taking telephone research as an example, hundreds of people participated in this key project.Including: voice quality, telephone exchanges, telephone lines, telephones ... divided into dozens of groups and studied at the same time.
Any technological advancement is crucial to this project.Bonuses are naturally indispensable, and Franz has always been generous in this regard.
Scientific research cannot use electricity to generate electricity, because that amount of electricity cannot support the entire industry.In recent years, the Austrian scientific research field has developed very well, and the Royal Academy of Sciences has made great contributions.
The annual investment of millions of Aegis has become the source of impetus for the advancement of science and technology in Austria.
Compared with the telephone, the phonograph technology is more mature, and related patents have been registered.It is expected to be put on the market after Christmas this year.
Well, grabbed Edison's patent again, and continue to play like this, Franz is very suspicious of this inventor, what new tricks can come up later.
These inventions made Franz no longer attached to celebrities.Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to invest, these technologies are already feasible, and only scientific ideas and innovations with bad ideas can be smashed out.
In this case, the value of Edison is greatly reduced.It is easier to attract a scientist to a businessman, instead of spending a lot of money to chase a successful "merchant", it is better to raise hundreds of researchers with the same money.
These are the things that can really enhance national strength.Behind any powerful country in modern times, a group of scientific researchers and engineers supported it.
Without the backing of industry, the great ideas of scientists are always just ideas. If you want to become a reality, you have to look at the basic industry.
Even the progress of science and technology is closely related. When people pay attention to the big cows like Edison and Einstein, they often ignore the unknown basic scientific researchers behind them.
These people have no reputation and no inventions that affect people's lives, but all inventions and creations are inseparable from them.
Since the 19th century, most scientific inventions have been concentrated on the European continent, and problems can be seen.
It is not that there are no geniuses in other regions. It is because of the lack of basic industries that they cannot support these geniuses to invent and invent and have to embark on another path.
In a corner of the scientific research institute, the internal combustion engine project team is still struggling.
The origin of this technology is also very early. In the 17th century, the Dutch physicist Huygens used gunpowder explosion to obtain power. However, because the gunpowder technology was immature and it was difficult to control the results, the research failed.
In 1794, British Streeter proposed to obtain power from the combustion of fuel, and for the first time proposed the concept of mixing fuel with air.
In 1833, the British Wright proposed a design that directly used combustion pressure to push the piston to work.
In the mid-nineteenth century, scientists perfected the theory of thermal conversion of mechanical power through the combustion of gas, gasoline, and diesel.This laid the foundation for the invention of the internal combustion engine.
Since the advent of the piston-type internal combustion engine in the 1860s, it has become a relatively complete machine after continuous improvement and development.
In 1860, Lenoir, France imitated the structure of a steam engine and designed and manufactured the first practical gas engine.
These are the external factors that promote the internal combustion engine project.Now that the foundation has been laid, Franz will naturally not ignore this epoch-making invention.
Technically speaking, the internal combustion engine technology of the 18th century is likely to come out.Of course, scientific research is not so easy, and the original space-time has been delayed until the late 19th century before it was able to break through.
Franz ’s push only accelerated this process. As early as two years ago, the internal combustion engine was born in the laboratory.
But because the power is too small, there is no practical value. At present, it can only be left in the museum for people to watch. It is now the second generation internal combustion engine.
When can it be applied to life, this question can only be seen luck.After all, laboratory results and commercial use are two concepts.
There are still many black technologies in the Royal Academy of Sciences, but for various reasons, they cannot be published.Among them, medicine and biology are the most, and many drugs with very good effects cannot be industrially produced at all.
It ’s not just industrial technology, it ’s too much raw material.Especially for the kind of medicine processed from hundreds of years of herbal plants, the laboratory's own research lacks raw materials.
Needless to say, the supporter behind these messy studies is Franz.
The research projects in Vienna are not bad, and some of them are scary in African laboratories.There was also a discharge of laboratory wastewater once, leading to the genocide of several African tribes.
It can be said that the earliest biological and chemical weapons, but fortunately Franz had a foresight, put the laboratory on the African continent, otherwise things will happen.
Franz always believes that every good scientist is a deadly expert.Many things that are not understood at all are dared to be studied directly without admiration.
Many messy studies have caused unimaginable consequences.If Franz is willing, he can now make biological and chemical weapons.
Obviously, he didn't do that.No one knows the by-products of scientific research. How serious the consequences of letting go will be. Franz doesn't even want to try them.
Medical technology in this era is limited. In case an unknown virus is released, it is not impossible to directly kill humans.
Scientists in this respect still know the importance. After collecting data for each experiment, they must carefully handle the garbage brought by the research.
If you want to pit people, collect these waste materials and give them a good effect for storage.Of course, Franz never did this kind of ethics.
In order to deal with laboratory waste, he also paid a big price.Usually it is burned at high temperature before being transported to the inaccessible land for burial, but it will not stay in the country anyway.
