The tests have to come back

Mr. Hiras Field had saved a great deal of money during his lifetime. However, one day after he retired, the idea of laying a cable to connect Europe and the United States occurred to him. Then it occurred to him that the cable must go across the Atlantic Ocean. So I began to prepare for the realization of this cause, and devoted myself to it. Building a 1,600km telegraph line connecting Europe and America was no easy task. The route would stretch from New York to Newfoundland across the stormy Atlantic Ocean. Newfoundland's 650 km of telegraph line would have to run through forest, which was sparsely populated, so the job would have to be done by building a road of the same length before the telegraph line. In addition, the route has to pass through the Cape Breton islands, the route is 700km long, the whole project is enormous, the difficulty is unprecedented.

Field pulled out all the stops to get funding from the British government and finally succeeded. In Congress, many people strongly opposed his bill, and Field received only one vote. But that didn't stop Field from moving forward -- laying began. At one end was the British flagship, the Agamemnon, which was docked at Sebastopol; The other was on the USS Niagara, a luxury frigate that had recently been built. However, in the middle of laying, the cable suddenly broke.

Unwilling to give up, even less so, Field tried a second time. When 320km into the project, the power supply suddenly failed for some reason, and the ship's construction crew was very worried and did not know what to do. Just as Mr. Field was about to give the order to cut the cable, the current reappeared. At night, the ship continued to sail at six kilometres an hour, which meant that the cables were being laid at six kilometres an hour. At this time, the ship suddenly violent vibration, and there is a serious tilt, the brake emergency brake, no accident, the cable is broken again.

But Field is not one to give up easily in the face of difficulties. He ordered an additional 1,130 kilometers of cable and paid a well-paid expert in laying it to design a machine that would make it faster. Finally, the two historic ships arrived in the Atlantic and joined up. The cables were successfully connected, and one sailed for Ireland and the other for Newfoundland. But the cable broke less than five kilometers apart, and the two ships continued their journey. The current disappeared again when the ships were 14 kilometers apart. The third time the cable was connected, 320km in length, it broke five metres from the Agamemnon, and the two ships eventually returned to the Irish coast to rest.

Everyone was disappointed, and public opinion began to question the possibility of its success. What was more fatal was that after repeated blows, investors also lost confidence in the project and were not willing to invest any more manpower and resources. Only Field remained, and if it had not been for his indomitable spirit, his genius and eloquence, the cable might never have been repaired. Field did not give up, continue to run for the ideal and busy, even to the point of eating and sleeping, he will not be reconciled to failure.

So a third attempt was made, and the gods of success began to be impressed by Field. This time the cable ran through without any trouble, and the submarine cable carried several messages successfully. It looked like everything was going to work out, but somehow, the electricity went off again.

At this point, the only people who wanted to hang on were Field and one or two of his friends. Many others were thoroughly disappointed. But Field didn't give up. He looked around for money to make a fourth attempt. This time they bought better quality cables. The Great Eastern, which was on this mission, slowly made its way to the ocean and laid the cable down smoothly. At last, while laying a 970km cable line off Newfoundland, the cable broke again and sank to the bottom of the sea. Several fishing trips were fruitless. The work was thus delayed.

But Field persevered, and no difficulty could stop him. He set up a new company and did what he wanted. They worked hard and finally produced a new type of cable with better performance. On July 13, 1866, the sails were set again. This time it was a great success. The first transatlantic telegraph was made possible by Field's tireless efforts. The telegram read: "27th July. We arrived at our destination at nine o 'clock at night and everything went well. Thank God! This time the cable is running perfectly. Hiras Field. ' Soon after, the cable that had fallen to the bottom of the sea was brought up and connected to Newfoundland.

Field's long road to overcoming difficulties proves that if you persevere and never give up, there will always be unexpected gains. Life, everywhere is full of thorns, with all kinds of difficulties, some people a bit of difficulty is pessimistic disappointment, is a bit of frustration frustrated, if compared with others, have some defect on the body, is depressed, broken broken falls, always think oneself inferior to others, can't have what achievement, can lay down and die.
