The principle behind wired Telegraph is actually quite simple.

It involves converting information into electrical current, transmitting it through wires, and then having it received by a terminal.

Therefore, a telegraph transmitter is actually a keyed signal transmitter, while a receiver is a decryption machine.

The principle of a manual Telegraph machine is that a person operates a key, and signals are generated by the 'dots' and 'dashes' formed by opening and closing the key, which are then transmitted through wires.

Morse also built upon the work of his predecessors, designing a set of codes that encoded letters and numbers for easy transmission through circuits.

No complicated circuits are needed; just one wire is enough to solve the problem!

To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of paper; it's a matter of whether you've pierced it or not.

But this improvement was far more reliable than that electrolytic signal, and it formed the basis for the development of wired Telegraph.

What Sulu was preparing to present was this set of encoding and transcoding methods.

"With this, and by building two more terminals, wired Telegraph will be entirely possible! This will change the world..."

The speed at which information spreads is the dividing line between primitive and modern societies!

"I have to say, sometimes the feeling of making history is pretty great!"

Looking at his design, Sulu nodded. "This patent alone was enough for me to live on for a lifetime. If I were to start my own Telegraph Company, I would make even more money!"

The reason for introducing the Telegraph technology at this time was more to attract the attention of higher authorities.

Only truly talented individuals can attract the attention of Green Tree Castle's higher-ups and be recruited into its ranks!

This is not only an improvement in status and position, but it also helps many of Sulu's plans.

Therefore, he would rather suspend his cultivation of the extraordinary side than fail to make a name for himself at the Institute of Electrical Research.

Besides that, he had another consideration in mind.

Although both the White Eagle Federation and Green Tree Castle Laboratory place great importance on patents, he was ultimately a nobody with little influence.

The interests and future represented by cable Telegraph are too great, and it's hard to guarantee that some foolish individuals won't jump out.

'If you cooperate, that's fine; but if you're really shameless enough to directly steal research results... heh...'

Sulu sneered inwardly.

He also had a deadly weapon— Wireless Telegraph— in his hand!

The principle of Wireless Telegraph is actually similar to that of wired telegraphy. Both convert information into electromagnetic waves, convert them from low frequency to high frequency, and transmit and receive them through a high-power antenna.

In essence, it simply changes the transmission medium from wires to air.

'If anyone tries to steal my work, let them try... Once they've built up their Telegraph network, I'll reveal my Wireless Telegraph technology and crush those bastards!'

Compared to wired Telegraph, Wireless Telegraph only requires a tall transmitting station.

This cost is negligible compared to the expense of laying Telegraph lines across the continent or even across the ocean.

By then, if they still can't be tricked, Sulu can add a gram to his last name!

Autumn on the Federal East Coast was not cold, and Sulu arrived at the laboratory in a light, cool breeze.

Where is the professor?

He looked at Cecilia, who was working, and asked in a low voice.

He's not in a good mood, so don't bother him unless it's something important.

Cecilia answered.

Sulu knows this.

Professor William's large-scale communication experiment can be described as both a success and a failure.

The success lies in proving that information can indeed be transmitted using electric current, and very quickly at that!

The failure lay in that terrible electrolysis terminal, which was not only cumbersome to operate and prone to errors, but also required a large number of lines, making it extremely costly.

Therefore, it's no wonder Professor William was in a bad mood when his requested funding was rejected outright.

"I have something important to say. I've written a paper that I'd like to publish internally!" Sulu replied.

In fact, given the status of Green Tree Castle Laboratory, being able to publish internally is no different from publishing it throughout the Federation.

"Hiss..."

As expected, Cecilia gasped, "You... the thesis?"

Although she knew this newcomer was impressive, she never imagined he would be this powerful!

"Let me see."

She took the manuscript, glanced at it, and asked, "Ideas about electric current derived from direct current?"

"This is my chosen topic, and it has been approved by Professor William."

Sulu offered a few explanations from the side.

"Very good, very inspiring!"

Cecilia returned the manuscript to Sulu: "I think it's worth at least five points! You can go find your tutor; he's in his office!"

"Thanks!"

Sensing the somewhat envious and jealous gaze of Victor beside him, Sulu seemed oblivious and walked into the office.

"Professor!"

William was behind his desk, designing something, his expression unreadable, neither happy nor angry.

"This is my thesis."

After thinking about it, Sulu still handed in the manuscript.

"Um!"

William took it, glanced at it, and was pleasantly surprised. "Compared to before, your derivation is more mature and rigorous... Very good, I will submit it for review, you can leave now."

"Thanks!"

Sulu bowed and quietly left the room.

Watching his retreating figure, Victor finally couldn't help but speak up, "A newcomer wants to publish a paper? Did he get yelled at by his advisor to achieve that...?"

Upon hearing this, Andrew, who was wiping the table nearby, immediately trembled.

"Alright, Victor, Sulu is indeed very capable and talented!"

Cecilia had to admit that this newcomer was very capable, especially in his research on electricity, where he seemed to have an innate talent.

While others were groping their way forward in the dark, he held a torch and ran towards his goal.

It ran incredibly fast, like a wild horse let loose!

late at night.

Institute of Electrical Research.

The Green Tree Castle Laboratory is divided into Inner Circle and Outer Circle, both under the jurisdiction of the Green Tree Council.

The Ninth, Sisleyden Water, appeared to be an ordinary elderly white man with a full head of silver hair, but his eyes were bright, like two sparkling sapphires.

As one of the laboratory leaders, he was undoubtedly a superhuman.

His aged appearance did not hinder his vigorous energy in the slightest.

He quickly reviewed and approved documents, distributed them, and relayed orders.

Suddenly, his finger paused. "Review Committee? Are there papers they can't judge?"

In his hand, there was a paper.

Green Tree Castle conducts very strict internal review of academic papers.

Slayden Walter, a master in the field of electrical engineering, was also listed there.

He has an obligation to step in if he encounters an article that the other party cannot review.

"Interesting."

Slayden Walter put on his reading glasses and looked at the beginning of the paper. "On direct current and some derivation assumptions?"

He stared at it for a long time, until even the red tea on the table went cold.

After a long pause, Slayden Walter looked at the author. "Sulu Potter? Interesting!"

He immediately wrote down his final approval, "Clear logic, concise thinking, approved, recommended reward of 15 points."
