Scientific Development

While construction projects throughout Spain were being carried out with great fanfare, the Royal Academy of Sciences had never ceased its research into various technologies.

Speaking of the Royal Academy of Sciences' current research, radar was an essential technology to mention among its military-related projects.

Spain's purpose in developing radar was also simple: to detect the enemy's movements in advance during future aerial and naval battles.

Carlo attached great importance to radar development. Even before the outbreak of World War I, Spain had already established a radar research team, with annual research funding reaching several million Pesetas.

With Carlo's vigorous support, the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences finally made some progress in radar research after several years.

Humanity's development of radar had absolutely not been accomplished at a single stroke. The earliest concept of radar could be traced back to 1842, when the Austrian physicist Doppler proposed Doppler radar based on the Doppler effect.

Doppler radar formally opened the door to radar research. Then, in 1864, the British physicist Maxwell derived formulas capable of calculating the properties of electromagnetic waves, further accelerating the exploration of radar.

The Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences could be considered to be standing on the shoulders of giants as it continued its research. Combining the results already achieved by its predecessors, developing radar was not actually as difficult as imagined.

Spain had made a certain degree of progress in radar-related technologies such as Radio Waves, electric mirrors, and vacuum triodes.

These were all milestones in humanity's military research. The Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences' breakthroughs on multiple fronts depended not only on Carlo's strong support, but also on the joint efforts of many scientists.

According to historical records, the first practical radar would be born in 1935, fifteen years from now.
