Capítulo 60: The Changes

Napoleon continued discussing with Antoine Lavoisier his future inventions. They delved into the topic of long-distance communication, particularly focusing on the spark gap radio—an innovation that shared similarities with the telegraph but possessed notable differences.

"Monsieur Lavoisier, the spark gap radio represents a remarkable advancement in the realm of communication if introduced." Napoleon began, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "While it shares some similarities with the telegraph, there are key differences that set it apart."

Lavoisier leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. "Enlighten me."

Napoleon nodded and continued, "You see, the telegraph relies on a system of coded sparks transmitted through wires. It requires physical connections between stations to convey messages. On the other hand, the spark gap radio operates without the need for wires or physical connections. It achieves long-distance communication by utilizing electromagnetic waves."
