Chapter 178: Wireless Communication.


    My son is not just my son, he is really smart. He has the potential to be a great scientist someday. So please, ck Beaver, could you teach him some of your knowledge?


    ck Beaver looked at the man and thought.


    Anyway, they all think their children are geniuses.


    When he was in the Empire, he had encountered so many geniuses that he was honestly not impressed.


    There was a high chance that his son was not even among the gifted ones.


    But ck Beaver could not refuse his request.


    This man was one of the high-ranking officials in Vietnam.


    From ck Beavers perspective, who had to live in Vietnam for a long time, he could not afford to offend him.


    Sigh How did I end up here?


    Every time he received such requests, ck Beaver med his bad luck.


    He was a scientist who had achieved many aplishments at the university.


    And he thought he would live a smooth life like this.


    Yes. Until the World Union was established and the overseas dispatch of scientists and engineers was decided.


    Of course, he didnt worry too much until then.


    The overseas dispatch was mostly for mediocre schrs.


    He was not that level.


    The problem started when they began to select a few outstanding scientists like ck Beaver.


    They needed some representatives for the dispatched schrs.


    But unfortunately, he was one of those few who were chosen.


    As a result, he had toe all the way to this faraway Vietnam.


    ck Beaver organized his thoughts and replied with a smile.


    Thats wonderful. I hope he will be a brilliant scientist who will lead Vietnam in the future. But, Im so busy I dont think I can do it often, maybe once a week or so.


    Haha! Everyone knows how busy you are, ck Beaver. Thats fine. Thank you very much. Well, I wont forget this favor.


    Favor? Dont you think our rtionship is more than that?


    Uhahaha! Of course not!


    The manughed cheerfully and shook his head at ck Beavers words.


    Then Ill take my leave now.


    Ill see you again soon.


    The conversation ended in a warm atmosphere. But ck Beavers smile faded as soon as he disappeared from his sight.


    I hope he doesnt cause any trouble.


    ck Beaver sighed deeply as he thought of the self-proimed genius whom he had never seen before.


    ***


    Is that true?


    Haha. Didnt I tell you to trust me?


    Wow!


    Suon shouted with joy after hearing his fathers words.


    He had been studying the Empires schrship, especially science, since he was very young.


    He even learned from a private tutor who was well-versed in science.


    As a result, he had an incredible amount of knowledge for his young age of seventeen. If time went by like this, he would be able to leave his mark on Vietnams scientificmunity.


    But ck Beavers reputation was well-known even within the Empire.


    It was a great opportunity to learn from him directly.


    Dont do anything rude to ck Beaver, and try to learn as much as you can.


    Yes, father!


    Suon engraved those words in his heart.


    And soon, his first meeting with ck Beaver took ce.


    Hello! Nice to meet you!


    Haha. You must be him. Well, whats your name?


    Please call me Suon, master!


    I see. Okay.


    To be honest, ck Beaver didnt like being called master. But he didnt show any reaction and moved on.


    He just thought that he would give him some education.


    But this thought soon shattered into pieces.


    What is this?


    At the test to see how much he had studied science, ck Beaver was astonished.


    He gave him problems from beginner to intermediate, advanced, and even expert levels, but he solved them all.


    Only then did ck Beaver look at the young man in front of him again.


    How old are you this year?


    Im seventeen.


    Hmm. You have umted a lot of knowledge at a young age.


    Hehe. My father has supported me a lot since I was little.


    He scratched his head shyly.


    Unexpected. I thought he was a man who only cared about power. But he seems to have done a good job in educating his child.


    His negative perception of him diminished a little.


    The ck beaver nodded and said.


    Good. Thene and see me on the same day and time every week. You can go back for today.


    Yes, master!


    ***


    After their first meeting.


    Soo-eon did his best.


    His fathers judgment was not wrong.


    Soo-eon was indeed a genius with a brilliant mind.


    He also had a very high desire to improve.


    He had a great ambition to raise the scientific level of Vietnam.


    This eventually made him an outstanding scientist by the time he became an adult.


    Now you can start your own research. It seems like you have nothing more to learn from me.


    There are still things I havent learned


    Haha. Dont say words that you dont mean. From now on, what you need is independent research.


    But I will visit you often, master.


    Of course. Did you intend not to?


    Hehe


    Three years was enough time to go from a formal rtionship to a genuine master-disciple rtionship.


    And so, Soo-eon left the ck beavers nest.


    And he set up his ownboratory.


    Thanks to his fathers power and wealth, this was not a difficult task.


    And he started his own research without dy.


    It was none other than the research on wireless telegraphy.


    Im sure there is a way to send signals over long distances without wires.


    Soo-eon was most interested in electromaic waves.


    Electromaic waves had already been proven mathematically and experimentally.


    But no one had yet seeded in using electromaic waves to send signals over long distances.


    Even the eminent schrs of the empire had not yet seeded.


    Can I do it?


    He was actually doubtful himself.


    How could he be sure that he could do what the schrs of that powerful country could not?


    No. Dont think weakly.


    But he soon shook off his anxiety.


    He just had to take one step at a time, and sooner orter he would reach his destination.


    In fact, he encountered various difficulties in the early stages of his research.


    Because of this, there were many moments when he wanted to give up his research.


    But even though he was frustrated, he never stopped his research.


    This perseverance eventually paid off.


    -Beep, beep, beep


    Its working!


    It was only about 3km away, but he had seeded in the experiment of wireless telegraphy.


    Did I really seed?


    When the signal sent wirelessly came in from afar.


    Soo-eon couldnte to his senses for a moment. He couldnt believe it.


    ***


    The news of the development of wireless telegraphy spread quickly. This was not a small impact.


    Especially in Vietnam, it was a chaos.


    Our Vietnam has achieved what those great schrs of the empire couldnt do?


    Hahaha! We have a genius of science in our country!


    Wakan Tanka Empire was the hegemon of this era.


    It was truly a remarkable event that such an achievement came out of their own country.


    Considering that the empire had monopolized most of the research achievements so far, one could realize how remarkable the development of wireless telegraphy was.


    Upon hearing this news,


    How envious


    I wonder if our country will ever produce a genius like Suon, who is unparalleled in the world?


    Countries in simr situations were very jealous of Suons existence, who suddenly emerged from Vietnam.


    If Vietnam can do it, there is no reason why we cant!


    They also hoped that they could do something simr in their own country.


    Moreover, wireless telegraphy was a hot topic in the empire as well.


    We were a step behind. I knew that many scientists were challenging wireless telegraphy.


    Thats right. By the way, Vietnam It seems that other countries are also developing such technologies. The world has changed a lot.


    Of course, Suon was not the only one who noticed the potential of wireless telegraphy.


    He was just the fastest.


    The empire promptly recognized Suons patent for wireless telegraphy.


    And they paid royalties to install and operate wireless telegraphy in the empire.


    At the same time, they also offered Suon admission to the imperial university.


    However, Suon declined this proposal by saying this.


    I appreciate the offer, but I will stay in Vietnam as a Vietnamese and contribute to the development of Vietnamese science.


    Suon was already rising as a hero of Vietnam, and his poprity skyrocketed when his words became known to the public.


    ***


    Damn To be overtaken by someone who is not even an imperial scientist.


    Scientists rted to electricity, radio, andmunication felt very humiliated by this series of events.


    Until now, the advancement of science was almost entirely the empires.


    But this unwritten rule was broken.


    And on top of that, in their own field.


    This cant happen again next time.


    As a result, the rted scientists became more desperate.


    The scientists looked to the future through past developments.


    After the development of telegraphy, the telephone was invented. Then


    Wouldnt it be possible to transmit voice wirelessly after wireless telegraphy?


    Sending messages through telegraphy required encryption and decryption.


    This was not only time-consuming but also very inconvenient.


    What if voice could be transmitted directly like a telephone?


    Thats very likely.


    The scientists thought that if they could send signals, they could also send and receive voice.


    Voice isposed of veryplex variations of electromaic waves.


    It was not an easy task to transmit this through air instead of current.


    However, already, although wired, the telephone was developed and so was the phonograph.


    In other words, the possibility of wireless voice transmission was somewhat glimpsed.


    And as time passed, the technology to transmit voice over radio waves was revealed for the first time.


    We can hear you!


    Wow!


    The first wireless voice was transmitted and received at the station.


    With this, the development of wireless voice transmission gained momentum.


    With the invention of devices such as wave adjusters and triode vacuum tubes, the first radio broadcast was finallyunched.


    Its amazing that we can hear the voice carried by the radio waves from a far distance, as long as we operate the receiver properly!


    The scientists were greatly impressed by this.


    However, the radio became popr mainly because of Kim Ki-woo.


    Haha. A revolution will sweep over themunication field soon.


    Kim Ki-woo anticipated the future events and called for themunication director.


    Communication director, how is the construction of the radio station going?


    Yes, Your Majesty. It is proceeding without any dy.


    Kim Ki-woo had waited until the radio technology was sufficiently matured.


    And he judged that it was enough now.


    He immediately ordered the construction of the radio station.


    Then its time to announce it in the Imperial Newspaper. It will be hard for a while, but please do your best.


    Its my duty as themunication director.


    Good. Then you may go.


    Yes, Your Majesty.


    After he left, Kim Ki-woo immediately spread the news through the Imperial Newspaper.


    -His Majesty, the great emperor, has dered that he will speak directly on the first broadcast of the new radio.


    This was enough to shock the people.


    What What? His Majesty will be on the broadcast?


    Thats right. On that day, if you listen to the broadcast, you can hear His Majestys voice!


    Gasp!


    Kim Ki-woos face was verymon, but there were hardly anyone who had heard Kim Ki-woos voice.


    But if they buy a radio receiver, they can hear Kim Ki-woos voice directly.


    As soon as this news came out, the empire was turned upside down.
