Chapter 091: Technical Display

The Rhodes & Taylors department store opened its doors and customers began to enter.

The TV installation is placed in the most prominent position on the first floor of the mall, so customers can see the TV installation as soon as they enter the store.

Jennifer herself is very beautiful,Because of the limitations of the current technical conditions,It is difficult for this TV device to completely restore Jennifer's beauty,It shows a scientific phenomenon,What it can do is to let people find after careful observation,The woman on the screen is actually the beautiful girl 20 yards away。

"What are these people doing? Make a movie? A female customer looked left and right, and she looked full of curiosity.

"Honey, I don't think it's a movie, you see, this sign says: Zeus Labs TV Installation Demo. So the question is, what is a TV? The female customer's husband stared at Jennifer and then at the playback screen not far away.

"I don't know what television is, but I know you're fascinated by the beauty of this young lady." The female customer said solemnly.

"Honey, all I love is you, let's go, let's go to the screen and have a look." The husband walked more than a dozen yards with his wife in his arms and came to the screen.

"Oh? There is a picture on the screen, a picture of a woman? The husband observed intently, thoughtfully.

"Is that her?" The wife looked at Jennifer herself, then stared at the screen, and she came to a startling conclusion: "The woman in the picture is the young lady in the chair!" ”

"Really? Is it really her? The husband remained confused.

"Yes, it's her, she's Jennifer who everyone loves." Li Kangping stood in front of the screen and said with a smile, "And I am Dr. Li of Zeus Laboratory, and this TV device is an invention of our laboratory." Next, allow me to walk you through how television works---- if you're willing to listen. ”

"Dr. Lee, we'd love to hear you talk about your TV."

"Okay, thank you for your patience."

Li Kangping took the couple to the camera end, he pointed to the camera end device and said: "Optics, electricity, optics plus electricity, is the basic principle of television." The rotating disc is a photographic disc that uses optical principles to capture Jennifer's stunning face, which is then converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric system that is immediately transmitted to the projection terminal via a telephone line. ”

"Jennifer was passed on like this?" The husband's exaggerated expression was unbelievable.

"Ma'am, sir, please follow me to the screening end again."

Li Kangping led the couple back and forth, and there were more and more onlookers.

"The receiver is the core device of the projection end, which receives the electrical signal transmitted by the camera end, restores the electrical signal into light and shadow, and plays it on the screen." Li Kangping said, and he immediately shouted: "Jennifer, please take off your hat!" ”

The corners of Jennifer's mouth rose and she smiled slightly, and she immediately took off her hat.

The electric version of Jennifer travels 20 yards in a phone line before appearing on screen without a hat.

The husband was stunned, he was dumbfounded.

The wife's reaction was quick, and she exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is Jennifer's live footage!" ”

Li Kangping smiled: "That's right, this is live TV, do you like it?" ”

"Live TV! It's live TV! He said it was live TV! ”

"Amazing machines, incredible graphics!"

The customers were chattering, and the atmosphere of the TV performance was lively.

"Mom, they're doing magic!"

A young boy of about six or seven years old summed it up.

Some customers are skeptical of television, such as this middle-aged man with a big beard, who says, "Dr. Li, your TV can broadcast live footage, but it's only a little bit small, and it's not that clear." Jennifer in the TV picture has been sitting like this, do we keep watching her sit like this? I mean, in terms of entertainment, TV is clearly inferior to movies. ”

Li Kangping attaches great importance to the opinion of the bearded customer, and he explains: "Sir, you are very right, and I thank you for your kind reminder. You also said that the biggest advantage of TV is live broadcasting, which is something that movies can't do. Let's imagine a live broadcast of a New York Yankee baseball game, a Dempsey boxing match, and a performance by the Latin Belle Cabaret on 52nd Street on the radio, and if it were converted into a live broadcast of the TV screen, would you be willing to tune in? ”

"Oh, do you need to ask, of course I'd like to see the kind of live TV you talked about--- really interesting live TV!" The bearded man finished the first half of the sentence with great certainty, and in the second half of the sentence, he was still skeptical: "But you didn't broadcast the New York Yankees, Jack Dempsey or the cabaret singer, you broadcast Jennifer who was sitting all the time." ”

"Sir, this will take time. However, please be assured that the wait will not be too long. ”

Li Kangping, Theodore, and Alex took turns as live TV docents, while Jennifer rotated with a staff member of Zeus in Manhattan.

Ruder & Taylor has a lot of traffic, and although there are some customers who are not interested in live TV at all, most customers will stay in front of the TV installation for a while, they will be surprised, excited, curious, or contemplative, they will talk, they will communicate, and they will have an inquisitive desire to know the novelty of live TV.

Zeus Lab's first live TV performance can be said to be a success.

The next day, the televised performance of Zeus Labs, Rhodes and Taylor's department store continued.

Manager Fox arranged for the mall staff to hang a huge advertising slogan on the outside wall of the mall: "The world's first live-action TV is broadcast live here!"

On the one hand, customers who had watched the TV performance rushed to tell each other, and on the other hand, advertising slogans played a promotional role, which caused the traffic of Ruder Finn and Taylor department stores, which were already very popular, to skyrocket.

The commercial center of the United States is New York, and the commercial center of New York is Fifth Avenue.

The news that happened on Fifth Avenue will receive widespread attention from people from all walks of life in a short period of time.

The number of customers who come to Ruder Finn & Taylor's Fifth Avenue flagship store to watch live TV continues to increase, and with it, media friends with a keen sense of smell.

Li Kangping was interviewed by a reporter from the New York Times on live television.

"Dr. Li, as we have seen, the TV you invented is very popular, and some citizens are even asking how much this TV equipment sells for! Now, Dr. Lee, please tell me, how much time do you think it will take for your TV invention to become a real commodity? The reporter asked.

Li Kangping replied: "First of all, it must be optimized technically, and the picture size, resolution, transmission system and other aspects need to be further optimized. Regardless, we were the first in the world, and we were the first laboratory in the world to successfully demonstrate live TV on television. I can't answer you right now how many years it will take you to make television as popular as a radio. But the scientific nature and technical characteristics of television itself make it suitable for popularity. ”

"Dr. Lee, I want you to stand next to the machine you invented, and we'll take a picture of you."

"Okay, I'd love to do that."

Li Kangping, who was in a white hat and white clothes, tucked a Malacca cane under his armpit and stood next to the machine he invented, allowing reporters to take pictures as much as they wanted.
