5089 Poseidon Night Watch, radiant!

Xiao Letian expressed his concerns. The storm in the Indian Ocean is no joke. Walking in the deep blue area without port supplies is a great adventure. The possibility of ships capsized is not high, but the danger of trekking or losing supplies is very high.

If you go through a safe route, Seychelles, Maldives, India, Sri Lanka... this route is of course safe, but it is all British territory, and the risks are not small.

"It's a dilemma! It's really hard to choose..."

In fact, Xiao Letian's problem was no longer a problem in his previous life in the 21st century. The route he studied with the Golden Eyes was actually the route from Port Louis to Singapore in the Indian Ocean, and it drove straight from Port Louis in Mauritius to Banda Aceh, which was in Sumatra.

This is the entrance to the Strait of Malacca.

This route is already very safe for the technology of the 21st century. There are wind and cloud satellites in space, and satellite phones between ships. The tonnage and power of the ships are also greatly enhanced, and the ability to resist storms is very strong.

Moreover, the ship has a large tonnage and the supply inside is sufficient. Not to mention spanning the Indian Ocean, even if it spans the Pacific Ocean, there is no problem.

In the 21st century, the routes from Cape Town to Jakarta or Singapore are very busy, and there is no need for supplies in the middle.

But it doesn't work now. Not to mention there are no satellites, even radio technology is still in the minds of Xiao Letian and Tesla, and there is no product that has become a reality.

Crossing the storm-torn Indian Ocean is really a huge gambling adventure!

Tesla thought for a long time, "The storm is very powerful, but our warships and supply ships are all pure steel, and they do not rely on wind power but on combustion boilers to provide power..."

"In fact, the safety is not as bad as you think. The only thing you have to worry about is the problem of trek, the communication between the two ships..."

"Come on! I have a solution. I originally thought that I gave it to you in Borneo. Now it is a special period, so you should use it first!"

On the cruiser Monsoon, there are exclusive cabins for these engineers. The soldiers would rather live in a worse condition. The crowded conditions would be freed up several cabins for them to rest and store a large amount of experimental equipment.

Tesla ran to the cabin for a long time and then a group of people moved various equipment to transport it to the deck. The movement soon attracted many sailors to help carry things.

The deck just sorted out in the evening is now full of various equipment and wires!

According to navigational discipline, this is not possible. These equipment can easily fall into the sea during storms and waves and hurt people easily.

However, the head of state is present at the moment, and the storm is not big, so the Golden Eye Bream and the others will not say anything!

Xiao Letian's eyes were bright, and he seemed to understand what experiments these people were conducting, and a thought that made his heart beat wildly.

Two soldiers were holding a tall wooden stick with a black iron box above it. You couldn't see clearly what was inside in the night. The long wire was dragged on the deck, and there were three sets of human generators connected in parallel to provide electricity behind.

There are ten groups of heavy lead-acid batteries in front of the generator. The generator starts to charge the battery continuously, and the air always shakes the buzzing sound of the generator!

"You...what are you..." asked Xiaole Lotte.

"Don't the Head of State know? God, this is not a new technology... This is the carbon rod arc lamp studied by Sir David, a British man in 1807!"

"Light? Electric light?" Xiao Letian is really not omnipotent. In his impression, he only remembers that Edison and the others improved the electric light, but he really had no impression of the electric light like this.

Tesla smiled like a child who won a game, "Ah! God! I finally know that the Head of State is not omnipotent!"

"Dr. David, the English jazz, is Faraday's teacher? Do you really don't know? Faraday, the father of electromagnetics, is Sir David's student!"

"In 1807, Dr. David invented an arc lamp, but there were some shortcomings and all were not commercialized. I copied one in advance and made improvements. After I won the Asia, I applied for a patent to let him commercialize it!"

Ah! Xiao Letian slapped his forehead and understood that arc lamps were the earliest electric light source invented by humans, much earlier than tungsten filament light bulbs.

However, there are not many arc lights in this way. The first is electricity consumption. This thing is too bright. In the 21st century, this kind of thing was used for lighting in stadiums or squares. There were several on the tallest poles, and the entire square was bright.

You said this thing costs electricity but not electricity? In the era when there was no such much electricity at the end of the 19th century, it would definitely not be able to promote commercially!

The second disadvantage is actually the advantage, which is bright! You heard it right, it is too bright and cannot be used as lighting for ordinary residents' homes.

If you open your eyes and look at it for a few seconds, your eyes will lose your vision. This is a strong light source that is very close to the sun's light, otherwise why would it cost electricity?

This kind of thing cannot be used in civilian use and cannot enter thousands of households, so people at that time could not see its commercial value.

The third disadvantage is also a headache, which is that there is high heat under the strong light. This thing is too hot. If it is placed in a closed room, it will be like a small stove.

With so many shortcomings, the final outcome is to remain silent in the warehouse of the research institute and stay in the papers and books. Except for inventors like Tesla, ordinary people have never even heard of names.

Even Xiao Letian didn’t have much impression of it. It was only after Tesla made it explain it specifically that he suddenly realized it!

Tesla pinched the electric switch with the wooden handle in his hand, "Continue to generate electricity, increase the pressure... I will create a sun for everyone!"

Sizzling... ions were flowing in the air, and everyone present felt that their hair was blowing up, and the electromagnetic force radiated to everyone present.

The moment the switch was closed, the light shone brightly in the mid-air of the Monsoon cruiser!

The black square iron box, one of which is transparent glass, the two carbon rods inside consume electricity and emit light and heat!

A straight beam of light hit the deck directly in front of the supply ship!

Seeing the supply ship riots occur, countless soldiers ran out and exclaimed. The supply ship quickly sent light signals to the Monsoon and asked what was going on.

The golden-eyed bream was stunned in the cab and unconsciously replied, "Mom... the head of state followed the little foreign devil and created a sun!"

The arc light rotated slowly in the air, and the straight beam of light cut through the night sky of the Indian Ocean. He was patrolling the entire ocean clockwise.

That night, countless fishermen on the west coast of the Indian Ocean began to spread a mysterious legend.

The sea god patrols at night, shining brightly!

"First of the People...you don't have to worry about communications now, right?"

"No more worrying, no more worrying... I have to worry about electricity bills now!"
