A meter-long iron pipe, half driven into the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ten-meter-long wire is used as an antenna and ripped out for a long distance.

The copper wire was wound ninety times around the paper tube. Wire ends at both ends, connected with variable capacitors. Then, connect the diode again, face high-impedance headphones, and the ore radio is ready.

Don't look at all this as simple as it says, but the rest of my life has been prepared for more than a week.

Nick beside him, watching the rest of his life go about his life, always had a smile on his face.

When Nick knew that his goal for the rest of his life was to make video games, the surprise on his face was like an eight-hundred-year-old block of ink.

When he was in California, he watched a lot of college students sign up for a garage company and make video games. It's commonplace, nothing unusual. Because, California has a ready-made foundation to make a video game arcade or a game cartridge on the Atari without having to complete too many pre-requisites.

However, this kind of superior electronic industry base, not to mention in China, at least in Qingtai Port is not visible.

As far as Nick's eye can see, Qingtai Port has almost no electronic industry base, and wanting to make video games under such conditions for the rest of his life is as incredible as building the Eiffel Tower in prehistoric Europe. It is not only necessary to draw drawings, but also to master the technology of smelting ore into steel.

Every time Nick thinks about it, he thinks that the path of making video games for the rest of his life is too difficult to take. It is not enough to describe it as full of thorns, and it is not too much to say that there is no road in the forest, and it is not too much to step on one.

Nick once put himself in this position for the rest of his life, trying to ask himself if he could make a video game arcade.

No way, that's his answer.

When he asked Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng looked relaxed.

Yu Sheng said, "Take your time and don't be in a hurry, there is no condition to create conditions." It's much better now than it was at the beginning, and I had to do all this secretly before I got the foreign exchange order, and I couldn't imagine that I could now make ore radios openly. ”

Nick thinks that Yu Sheng's thinking is too simple, and he tells Yu Sheng that if he wants to make a video game, it is not as simple as making an ore radio. What it needs is a complete foundation of the electronics industry, from the central processing unit to the memory chip, and there are many hardware engineers who are familiar with hardware, can design circuits, and people who can program software.

With these as a foundation, it is possible to make video games. Even if you're making a game for a home console like the Atari 2600, you need it too.

"It's okay, I can't, I can learn slowly, besides, China is so big, there will always be someone who will. Chips or something, there must be a place that has the ability to produce them. Yu Sheng replied firmly.

These days, Nick's understanding of China has increased a lot, and he knows that China is about the same size as the United States, but the population is much larger, it is said to be one billion.

He didn't know what the concept of billion was, but when he saw the thousand-person banquet that day, he already felt that there were really a lot of people.

Perhaps, in such a populous country, a miracle will happen?

The rest of his life was busy adjusting the antenna, and he didn't have the time to think like Nick. He tilted his head, listened to the sound in the high-impedance headphones, and carefully adjusted the orientation of the antenna.

Yu Sheng felt that the most amazing thing about the ore radio was that it didn't need electricity, it was a passive radio. Plug in the headphones, adjust the antenna orientation and you can hear the sound of the radio, which is like a magic weapon in myths and legends.

Heard it!

Heard it!

The rest of his life heard the sound of the radio.

"The National Agricultural Regional Planning Office Office convened by the State Development Planning Commission concluded yesterday (16 July) in Beijing......

In the excitement of the rest of his life, he shook his hands and handed the headphones to Nick.

People who don't make their own ore radios will never be able to understand the excitement of the rest of their lives.

As a passive radio device, all the energy of the ore radio comes from the electromagnetic waves in the air. The joy of assembling the whole machine bit by bit and seeing it come together is indescribable.

Nick took the headphones, put them on his ears, heard the sound in the headphones, listened to them for a while, and handed them back to Yu Sheng without showing too exaggerated expressions.

Nick had seen ore radios before, and in fact, his father had taken him to play with them when he was a child, hoping to foster his interest in radio through this activity.

At that time, his father used more primitive parts, not diodes that he used for the rest of his life. Rather, it is a geophone that is really using ore.

This is where the name of the ore radio comes from.

However, he was not particularly interested in radio, and his father saw that he was not the material, so he gave up guiding him.

Compared to Nick, who really likes it and takes the initiative to do it for the rest of his life, I have to find the ore radio much more interesting.

The trial was successful.

Yu Sheng raised his head to look at the sun sinking in the sky, touched his belly and felt a little hungry.

As he cleaned up the ore radio parts, he said to Nick, "It's time to go back to dinner." ”

Nick nodded.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was the time of dinner, and the cafeteria was crowded with people, not quiet, chatting with each other.

"Do you know, Sun Yuejin from the fourth factory recently held a veneer ball, I heard that it was very fun, who of you wants to go?" A young male employee, with a mysterious smile on his face, looked around with a little obscene eyes, and said to his companions.

"There you go. The prom was so late, and now it's so chaotic, and it's in trouble if you encounter any danger. The companion replied.

There is a reason why public order has deteriorated in recent years.

At the end of the 70s, young intellectuals who had gone to the mountains and countryside returned to the city on a large scale. There are not enough jobs in the cities, and many intellectuals have nothing to do, no jobs, no income, and wander around society, which has caused a very bad impact and breeds many problems.

Qingtai Port is okay, because the main groups here are the factories, as well as the customs and port staff and their families, the composition is not complicated, and it can be restrained.

And those big cities, but not so lucky, I heard that the trouble is quite fierce.

However, I heard that I only heard that when I went to participate in the Qi Fair for the rest of my life, I felt that the provincial capital was not bad, and there was no such group of demons dancing as in the legend.

As for the veneer ball, it is an "advanced" entertainment brought in from the West after the reform and opening up.

It's said to be dancing, and when you dance, you change your taste. Evolving into something else is almost a sure thing.

Young workers, who are at the age of yearning for the opposite sex, naturally have an instinctive yearning for the somewhat hazy and exciting activity of veneer balls.

The two of them, when they saw Yu Sheng coming, hurriedly shut their mouths. After all, as the son of the factory director and the son of the director of the Women's Federation, Yu Sheng, in their opinion, is still quite deterrent.

The rest of his life didn't seem to hear it, and he lined up with Nick, chatting one after the other.

Originally, Yu Tiecheng wanted the master of the canteen to open a small stove for Nick and cook some delicious food alone.

Nick refused, he was quite satisfied with his life in the factory. I don't have to do anything here, I walk around every day with the rest of my life, and even if I finish my work, I can get paid by the company, how easy and enjoyable it is.

Such a foreign style, not tired work, simply not too comfortable.

He remembered that when he was in the United States, he was so busy every day that he seemed to have to break his leg in sales work, and occasionally he felt that living in China seemed to be good.

Dragonflies fly, damselflies play.

On August 20, before the end of the summer vacation, the children in the factory waved their nets and chased the dragonflies around.

The first batch of 1,000 hydro game consoles has been made and shipped to the port at Nick's request.

Because of the proficiency and the imperfect production process, the production speed of the water game machine is not fast, and more than 100 pieces are produced on average every day. That's too slow for a factory with 600 regular employees.

However, in recent days, the production capacity has climbed up a lot, basically about 500 per day, according to this progress, it is estimated that 1,000 per day can be completed next week, and next week will reach the most ideal state, with an output of 2,000 a day.

Originally, Yu Tiecheng thought that all 100,000 units would be produced and delivered at one time. However, Nick wanted to send a small part to the United States first, and Yu Tiecheng agreed.

After all, the one dollar written in the contract is the FOB price, the small number of shipments, and the high unit freight rate has nothing to do with the third factory.

Nick sent a small batch of goods first, because he used his mouth to describe the hydro game console on the phone, and there were always some deviations, so it was more reliable to let the head office see the real thing.

If the head office thinks that this toy is not bad and has a relatively broad market, it is estimated that there will be additional orders.

Although the structure of the hydraulic game machine is not complicated, Nick thought with his toes and knew that if it wanted to make more hydraulic game machines, the company would look for this Chinese company on the other side of the ocean, rather than find a manufacturer in the United States.

The reason why this is done is because the labor in the United States is too expensive, and if you add this kind of good wood used in the hydraulic game machine, the manufacturer's quotation is estimated to be higher than the sales price.

Most of the toys are cheap and high-selling fast-moving products, otherwise, the toys sold in the United States will not be sixty percent from Hong Kong, thirty percent from Japan, and less than one percent are manufactured by local enterprises in the United States.

In Nick's view, the biggest advantage of China, with its one billion citizens, is the advantage of labor costs. Not to mention anything else, it is to snatch 30% of Hong Kong's 60% toy production, which is enough to make a huge change in the land under your feet.

When he told Yu Sheng about this suggestion, Yu Sheng's reaction was both unexpected and in his imagination.

"Low-end toys are just a stepping stone to the climb to video games, and if we stay here, won't we always have to look up to other countries at the foot of the mountain?"

Nick thought in his heart, industrial transfer is the general trend of world capital, and it is a matter of course to go wherever the manufacturing cost is cheap.

It is no longer easy for backward countries to obtain backward technologies that have been eliminated by advanced countries, and to produce products.

If we want to move from backward to advanced, it depends on whether the advanced countries are given this opportunity or not. Technological blockade is no joke, and even if the backward countries want to improve, the advanced countries will not allow it.

The originally backward ones are advanced, so who are the ones who are going to exploit them?

All countries on the earth are like a food chain, divided into three, six, nine and so on, and if they are backward, they will be exploited, which is an unbreakable truth.

However, Nick looked at the sunny face for the rest of his life and didn't say these words. There is nothing wrong with having dreams and ideals.

It's not a good choice to puncture other people's dreams.

"Nick, what do you think of this new toy?" Yu Sheng's spoken English has been a lot better recently, plus he is familiar with Nick, and he can't understand how much Nick can speak.

Not again......

Nick turned his head to see what new toys he had brought with him for the rest of his life. Every now and then, a new toy idea pops up for the rest of my life, some of which are physical objects and some of which are just concepts. He often asks Nick if he has a future of commoditization with these still somewhat immature ideas.

Although Nick likes the rest of his life, he slowly gets a little annoyed. At the same time, he also admired Yu Sheng, after all, with China's conditions, he couldn't play with too many toys, and it was really difficult for him to have so many ideas for the rest of his life.

"This is a building block?" Nick gnawed on a pile of wooden blocks in Yu Sheng's hand and asked, "If it's building blocks, there are already a lot of these toys on the market." ”

"It's not just building blocks......," Yu Sheng said as he assembled the small wooden blocks of different shapes, and it took about five or six minutes to assemble a decent boat.

There is a small button on the side of the boat, and when you press it, you can hear the motor turning.

Yu Sheng didn't wait for Nick to speak, and explained to himself, "The inspiration for this toy came from when I was making the ore radio that day.

When I finished the ore radio and heard the voice of the announcer of the Central People's Radio in the headphones, I couldn't get excited. I think that making things with your own hands can give you an incomparable sense of joy and fulfillment......"

Yu Sheng said as he flipped through the dictionary and wrote down words he couldn't say on paper. He explained for ten minutes, and Nick guessed and understood what the rest of his life meant.

To put it simply, the idea of this toy for the rest of your life is somewhat similar to building blocks, and the idea is that the toys you make yourself are the best toys.

Yu Sheng took Nick to the edge of the pond and put the freshly set boat in his hand into the water. The propellers in the rear, which caused ripples on the water, moved the boat forward, disturbing the dragonflies who were a little in the water.

Nick had just assembled the boat himself, and he knew that the boat was exquisitely designed, and it was made of wood inlaid with each other without the slightest fixed parts such as screws and nails, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a craft.

Both of them were on the other side of the small pond, and Yu Sheng scooped up the boat that touched the shore and said, "It's not just a small boat, it's also a robot, and I think this kind of toy that can be changed into two ways should be popular with children." ”

Yu Sheng pulled out the key wooden block, and the entire boat immediately collapsed into a pile of wooden blocks.

He picked through the pile of pieces and put them together. It didn't take long for Nick to see a robot that wasn't too handsome.

"It's a little bit of a pity. It is due to the fact that he is all wooden, except for the motor and wires. Therefore, the joint can't move, only this one posture. Nick, what do you think of this toy? ”

Nick was silent for a moment and shouted, "Boat racing, too!" ”

"Or rowing? Do you call it that? Yu Sheng asked, he touched his chin that had just a few whiskers and said, "A rowing boat named Yike is not bad." ”

"Boat racing, too! Boat racing is also available! Nick yelled several more times.

The rest of his life realized that Nick should speak English and should look up the dictionary. It turns out that "excited" means excited.

"Is this toy great?" Yu Sheng asked.

"Great, great!" Nick spoke Chinese excitedly. He circled excitedly, wondering what kind of huge market this toy would have in the United States.

Growing up in the United States, Nick knows how attractive a shapeable toy like this can be to American children.

"You're such a genius!" Nick said excitedly to the rest of his life. (To be continued.) )
