Li Kangping submitted the "TV Device Patent Application" to the US Patent Office, but the patent project is not yet complete and still needs further improvement.

Theodore was awarded $3,600 and a Ford.

You must know that Theodore has just graduated with a master's degree for two months, and this generous income makes him one of the best among his peers.

"Dr. Li, I swear I'm willing to work in Zeus Lab until I retire." Twenty-six-year-old Theodore expressed his devotion to the lab until his retirement, and signed a three-year employment agreement + non-disclosure agreement.

"Theodore, I thank you for your loyalty and virtue, and now let's interview Alexei Vladislav Iglayetiv...... Oh, damn it, this Russian name is hard to pronounce! ”

After a while, Li Kangping and Theodore met with Mr. Alexei Vladislav Iglayetiv, a candidate for the job, in the headquarters office.

The Russian looked like a Russian at first glance, he was very tall, more than 1.9 meters, his eyes were melancholy, and he had a depressed look.

Li Kangping said politely: "Hello, Mr. Alexei Vladislav Iglayetiv. I'm Dr. K.P. Lee, and it's a pleasure to meet you. First of all, I need to know your nickname, a succinct and catchy one. ”

The Russian said, "Hello, Dr. Lee. My American name is Alex, you can call me Alex. ”

"Alex, it's only four letters, but it's a really nice name, yes, I like Alex. Then Alex, I hope to get to know you thoroughly in five minutes, please begin your statement. ”

Alex began his application statement: "I completed my undergraduate studies in Moscow, obtained my master's degree in Manchester, and then returned to Moscow for my doctorate--- which was early 1919. I actually didn't finish my PhD in Moscow, and in the second half of 1919, you know, Lenin started the revolution. ”

"My family was hit by the revolution, and I fled to the United States at the end of 1919. I love the air of freedom in the United States, and I need a stable job. This is my master's thesis, please take a look. Alex presents his paper.

It was not easy for this Russian, and in order to get a job, he brought all his papers.

Li Kangping quickly skimmed Alex's paper, and he said as he read it: "My minister told me about your main experience in the United States, and he said that you worked as a technician in a radio company in Texas, and I know that it was a good company, isn't the job they offered you stable enough?" ”

Alex explains, "There are no research institutes in that city of Texas, and I want to work, live, and study in a city with a prestigious research institution---- such as Columbia University in New York City. ”

Li Kangping asked again: "Alex, you mean, you want to work in my company while studying for a doctorate at Columbia University?" ”

Alex shrugged, "Well, I knew it wasn't going to work. ”

"So did Columbia University's graduate school admit you?"

"Not yet."

Li Kangping went through Alex's thesis, which was written in English, which was Alex's master's thesis at the University of Manchester.

Alex studied radio and had work experience for a radio company.

Zeus Laboratory needs all kinds of technical talents in various specialties, Li Kangping returned the paper to Alex and shook hands with Alex: "Alex, I have decided to hire you, you will go to the General Management Department to sign a contract later, and come to work at Zeus Laboratory in Queens tomorrow." This is Theodore, and he'll take you to the lab. ”

"Dr. Li, thank you for giving me this job. So what is my salary? ”

"The General Management Department will talk to you, and if you are not satisfied, you can not sign it. Alex, hopefully we'll be able to meet in the lab tomorrow. ”

The pay package seemed acceptable, so Alex showed up at Zeus Labs.

Alex's background is not in television, but that doesn't stop him from exclaiming, "Oh, I saw Theodore!" He's moving! What an amazing machine! ”

Theodore was mainly responsible for the improvement of the TV installation, including the camera, projection, resolution, screen size and other specific technical details. Current television signals are transmitted through telephone lines, i.e., wired transmissions. In the future, the possibility of developing wireless transmission of television signals is not ruled out, and this is exactly the technology that Alex excels at. In any case, we should now concentrate on improving the quality of television installations in the mode of cable transmission. Our goal for the next phase is to increase the resolution to 48 lines, expand the screen in the screening area, and cover the entire New York City. Gentlemen, according to this technical goal, let's take action! ”

Li Kangping gave technical instructions, and then worked with Theodore and Alex to promote the technical improvement of the television installation.

On the third day after Alex joined the company, people from the U.S. Patent Office came to Zeus' lab.

"Hello, Mr. Ross. This is my assistants Theodore and Alex. ”

"Dr. Lee, it's a pleasure to meet you. They were Tom, Jerry, and Thomas, all of whom were clerks of the patent office. ”

All the members of Zeus Lab shook hands with the staff of the Patent Office one by one, and then moved on to the topic, where the experts of the Patent Office reviewed the physical object of the "Patent for Television Devices".

"This is the real thing about the TV installation? It looks clever and sturdy. ”

Mr. Ross is the leader of the examination team at the Patent Office, a group of people from the Patent Office who all have technical backgrounds.

"Now, Dr. Lee, let it work."

"Okay, please wait."

Lee Kangping made Alex sit in a chair and act as a camera model, and he operated the equipment with Theodore.

Woooooooo

The disc turns, and the light from the spotlight hits Alex's face.

Alex is a tough guy, and in order to ensure the effect of the show, Alex does not wear sunglasses, he faces the light.

Of course, this TV setup has made some technical improvements, and the illuminated light is not so harsh, and Alex should be able to hold on for a few minutes.

"This TV setup is a bit like a movie projection setup, but what's the main innovation about it?" Mr. Ross said.

"Guys, please."

Li Kangping instructed the patent office experts to move forward twenty yards, and then arrived in front of the television receiver.

An image of Alex's face appeared on the receiver's screen.

Mr. Ross exclaimed, "Oh, there's someone in this box!" Is that him? Is it the tall man sitting in the chair over there? ”

Li Kangping shouted at Alex, "Alex, turn your head!" ”

In an instant, Mr. Ross and his subordinates shouted excitedly: "Move, he move!" This TV setup has worked! It's a real-time live feed! Inventors, you have achieved the world's first live TV transmission, and you have done it! ”
