The patent for the telephone is certainly not 190,000 US dollars that can be summarized, Li Mu wants to open more, but the regulations are the regulations, and Li Mu will not destroy them.
So far, the four laboratories under the Junma Laboratory have been rewarded for the power laboratory and electrical tests, while the materials laboratory and the weapons laboratory have not received special awards because the results were released relatively early.
Don't worry about this problem, Li Mu will organize a year-end summary, and when the time comes, he will compensate the material laboratory and the weapons laboratory.
The achievements of the materials laboratory in the past year are also quite outstanding, stainless steel and weapon steel will bring great profits to Li Mu, and Li Mu will not treat those researchers badly.
The weapons laboratory is even more fruitful, they have developed a variety of new weapons based on smokeless gunpowder, the "Rainstorm" general-purpose machine gun and mortar are the best, the single-shot rifle and shotgun have become the most popular individual weapons on the market, as for the "Python" pistol, it was born before the establishment of the weapons laboratory, and has nothing to do with the weapons laboratory.
Now that the phone has been successfully studied, the next step is to put it into operation.
There is another technical issue to be solved here, and that is the issue of the call line.
After all, the telephone has just appeared, and the relevant research is still in its infancy, so a telephone line can only be used by two telephones at the same time, if it is in the city, because of the presence of transfer stations and operators, this is not a big problem, but if it is intercity, this problem is very important, think about it, between New York and Washington, even if a hundred wires are laid, it can only be used by two hundred telephones at the same time, and the answer to how big the demand for telephones will be is almost infinite.
Therefore, for a long time, telephones, like electric lights, will only serve a small number of people, and if you want to promote it on a large scale, you will need to wait for the improvement of technology.
Now that we know the problem, the next stage of the research goal of the Junma Communication Research Institute has been clear, that is, a line to achieve the problem of simultaneous communication between multiple telephones, this technology is actually a switch, which can solve this problem, the telephone is likely to be promoted on a large scale.
Li Mu did not set a time limit this time, but set a technical standard, as long as the Junma Communication Research Institute can increase the number of call pairs on a line, Li Mu will reward 10,000 US dollars for each additional pair of call capacity.
At the same time, Li Mu's research projects also include communal telephones, automatic telephones, and phonographs.
That's right, it's the gramophone, it's a completely new project.
In the old world, when Edison studied the telephone, he found that the speed of speech could cause the short needle in the telephone to produce corresponding different vibrations, so in turn, this vibration must also produce the original speaking sound.
As a result, Edison began to study the problem of voice reproduction, and in 1877, he designed the first singing machine in human history.
What Li Mu has to do now is to go his own way, so that others have no way to go, Edison only received three months of education, it is because of his curiosity about the unknown, so he has achieved a generation of "invention kings", Li Mu now concentrates almost all the high-tech talents on the East Coast, and Li Mu This bug is used as a guide, so it is impossible for the horse research laboratory to even do a person who has not graduated from elementary school.
It is indeed an achievement, and on the night when Li Mu wrote a check to the communication laboratory, the power laboratory took out the second engine design drawing.
The second engine has been improved on the basis of the first one, if the output power of the first model is 1, then the output power of the second model is 16, which is a huge progress, but Li Mu does not plan to use this engine in BMW, Li Mu has now begun to accumulate technical reserves, laying the foundation for the technical competition that may be faced in the future.
Of course, not putting it into practical application does not mean that Li Mu will hide these technologies, Li Mu also made a promise to the power laboratory, the power laboratory will continue to develop new engines, and every time the power is doubled, Li Mu will write a check for 100,000 US dollars, which is not capped.
The same is true for other laboratories, the communication laboratory should complete the research of switches and automatic telephones, the weapons laboratory should develop the hydraulic control and re-entry technology as soon as possible, and the recent research goal of the materials laboratory is aluminum alloy, as long as these research institutes complete the corresponding tasks, Li Mu will not be stingy with rewards.
On the evening of his return to New York, the housekeeper Raul reported to Li Mu that a gentleman named Situ Lei had been waiting for Li Mu in New York for several days, hoping to get a chance to meet Li Mu.
Stuart Lei Just listen to the name, you know that this must be a Qing countryman.
Continuing to ask, this Mr.
Stuart is from San Francisco, combined with the information provided by Mr.
Watson Squier, the governor of California, the identity of this Mr.
Stuart is about to be revealed, they are from the Red Gate.
Hongmen First of all, regardless of the importance of this organization in modern Chinese history, the first thing to emphasize is that Hongmen is a gangster organization similar to the Italian mafia.
Li Mu does not lack official strength, and Li Mu does not lack economic strength, Li Mu really needs a dark force to complete some things for Li Mu that are inconvenient for Li Mu to complete.
Hongmen, the world's largest Chinese gangster organization, this Chinese gang with a long history, seems to be able to perfectly make up for Li Mu's shortcomings.
So Li Mu agreed to meet Situ Lei, and it was on Governor's Island.
Three days later, Situ Lei arrived as promised.
Before it again, Governor's Island was actually isolated from the rest of the world.
Although Governor's Island is now Li Mu's private territory, after all, before this time, Governor's Island was a military territory, so no one dared to fight the idea of Governor's Island.
Although Governors Island is very close to Manhattan, only about two kilometers or so, there is no ferry to Governors Island in Manhattan, and if you want to go to Governors Island, there is only one way, and that is to get an invitation from Li Mu.
After Li Mu bought Governor's Island, he built a lot of construction on Governor's Island, and the workers were all Chinese transferred from Springfield, and as for the security force, it was provided by an infantry company of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, so when Situ Lei went to Governor's Island, he took a transport ship driven by soldiers of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment.
The gang members, no matter what, they can't imagine the tycoon's code of conduct, it seems that Situ Lei underestimated Li Mu's power, so when he saw Li Mu, Situ Lei's expression was a little uneasy.
Li Mu is very interested in Situ Lei, although Li Mu's Liutong is the first batch of students sent overseas by the Qing Empire, but Li Mu knows very well that at least a hundred years ago, Hongmen has come to the United States and spread out, so Li Mu is very eager to understand the mysterious organization of Hongmen.
At the headquarters in William's Castle, Li Mu finally met Situ Lei.
Situ Lei is a man in the prime of his thirties, although he has cut off his braids, but he is still wearing a traditional Chinese gown, unlike the white Westerners at this time, Situ Lei's sideburns are very cleanly shaved, and the beard under his nose is very neatly built, and the whole person reveals a sense of elegance, which makes Li Mu feel good at first sight.
"Mr.
Ream, it's a pleasure to meet you" Stuart greeted him in a very cautious manner, the standard white Western routine.
"Mr.
Situ Lei, I'm not so glad to meet you."
Li Mu is not polite, and when he opens his mouth, he is dismounted.
"Why did Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Mu say this here" Situ Lei's expression was shocked, and after his arched hands were put down, he did not pose one after the other, but crossed them in front of his lower abdomen, very carefully.
"Mr.
Situ Lei, you are from San Francisco, right, I want to ask you one thing, what were you doing when the white people in San Francisco murdered the Chinese of our Qing Empire three months ago" Li Mu stared at Situ Lei without blinking, observing Situ Lei's every move.
This question is actually a bit of a damner.
From Governor Watsonsquier, Li Mu knew that the reason why the Chinese were targeted in San Francisco originated from the infighting between the Chinese, and this was not because Watson Squire added fuel to the fire.
"Mr.
Ream, this is a long story" Situ Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly, his expression not much ashamed.
"It's okay, I have a lot of time, you can talk slowly."
Li Mu was not in a hurry, he had already made tea and was ready to fight a protracted battle.
"First of all, Mr.
Ream, you must know that the Far Easterners in San Francisco are not only our Chinese, but also Japanese, Koreans, Annamites, etc."
Situ Lei's expression was solemn, remembering the scene of that day, and his eyes flashed: "Of course, San Francisco is in turmoil, although my Hongmen brothers tried their best to rescue, but after all, they were still unable to do it, so they made those white people's poisonous hands" "Wait, what does this have to do with the Japanese and Koreans" Li Mu didn't know the scene that day, and wanted to know the details from Situ Lei.
"The Koreans are fine, but the Japanese are really hateful, and if it weren't for the Japanese, the whites wouldn't have been so well-informed, and if the Japanese hadn't acted as the leading dogs of the whites that day, we wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe."
Situ Lei's expression was indignant, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Which Japanese are doing now" Li Mu felt that if the people of Hongmen were really bloody, this matter should not be over.
"After that day, our Hongmen brothers went out in all directions, and really found a few Japanese who had made trouble that day and sank into the sea, but there were still remnants entrusted to the white people to take refuge, and they couldn't do anything for a while, so Situ came to find Mr.
Reem" Situ Lei clenched his fists when he said Li Mu's name.
"Don't call me Reem, you can call me Li Mu."
Li Mu got up and formally greeted Situ Lei.
"Master Li" Situ Lei was respectful and gave Li Mu enough face.
"Everyone is in the same vein, and there is no need to be polite, those Japanese people will be handled by me."
Li Mu has a big package.
"Li Ye Gaoyi" Situ Lei is overjoyed:
