Chapter Ninety-Six

BBC anchoress: "Just now Mr. Windsor and Mr. Brunel imagined for us a beautiful vision of the flying era, and next, Mr. Babbage, a professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge and the chief engineer of the international commercial aircraft company, will introduce to you an invention that has entered mass production to change human life - mechanical computers. ”

Babbage: "Hello everyone. I'm really reluctant to announce our product today, because today is the birth day of such a magical product as broadcasting, and if we announce this amazing product at the same time, it will really be ...... Wasted. Well, no more verbose. As the name suggests, our mechanical computer is a machine that helps people perform polynomial calculations, and after three years of research and development by our team, it is unbelievable that the volume of half a room has been reduced to a cylindrical shape that can rest on a table, like a birdcage.

The computer is used in conjunction with the typewriter, the user types out the polynomial on the typewriter, and then determines, the formula on the printing paper will be passed into the birdcage through the guò paper tape, after a few seconds or a few minutes of calculation, the result will be transmitted back through the guò printer, which is very easy to use. Mr. Windsor's inventions are always so that everyone can learn to use them, and I didn't feel it when I was doing research and development, but when the product finally came out, I was stunned, and I felt that we were hiding behind the user's back to get a qiē done, and let the user become a fool's sinner. Users don't need any knowledge to use the world's most advanced technology.

Typical applications of birdcage computers are used in factories and sales to count purchases, stocks, and sales. From then on, all the complicated business activities, financial accounting has become easy and comfortable, one employee is responsible for entering the number jù, the other is responsible for checking, and then starting the computer, drinking a cup of coffee and other results! ”

Violetta: "Mr. Babbage is very excited, as if he has missed something, in fact, this machine needs to be seen with your own eyes to feel its magic, because it can automatically make a large number of statistics into a commonly used table, take the census as an example, it allows people to collect the city, parish, population, gender, education program, marital status, income status and other numbers into a table. It is said that it was Mr. Franceni, the Minister of the Interior of Switzerland, who inspired Mr. Windsor to do such a function. That's why Mr. Windsor would like to send one to the Minister of Statistics, who values statistics, for his service to the Swiss people.

Major European cities such as Paris, Munich, Berlin, Vienna and other cities will have IBM sales centers, and their sales centers are spacious and convenient for customers to experience. I just went to IBM's headquarters in the City of London and it was really impressive. ”

Babbage: "The host is eloquent, why don't you tell me the price or something." ”

Violetta laughed: "Okay! Mr. Windsor has a strange merchant, which is to only rent out and not sell products all at once. According to him, this will recycle as much as possible all the materials that can be recycled, the ** of human beings is infinite, and the goods of the industrial age will produce more and more garbage, if you don't pay attention to it from now, in a hundred years, the whole earth will be full of garbage. It seems to make sense, he is worthy of being a great scientist, and he thinks long-term. Without further ado, back to the point, the official name of this computer is the 'IBM birdcage computer', hehe, that's it, £150 a year, or £100 if you already have a typewriter. Because as you know, the price of typewriters has been reduced to £50 a year. ”

At the end of the program, Tang Ning concluded: "In fact, there are several friends who came to the salon who did not speak, they may be more shy, and they were frightened when they heard that it was broadcast live to the whole of Europe, it doesn't matter, there will be a chance in the future, Violetta can also invite them to the future dialogue program alone."

I am very fortunate to have such a large group of friends, musicians and artists like Berlioz, Liszt and Wagner who make human life more beautiful and elegant, scientists like Mr. Babbage and Mr. Faraday who make the future of mankind more interesting, biologists like Mr. Darwin who make us human beings more confident and do not have to tremble at the feet of any absurd and empty gods, and engineers like Brunel and Mr. Basser who make our human life more convenient and comfortable. Of course, I think that Mr. Marx's imagination of public ownership is still to be discussed, and it is true that distribution according to capital is also a kind of fairness, and for the development of mankind, capitalists and workers' leaders still have to communicate frankly, compromise with each other, and find a win-win solution.

That's the end of this show, oh, by the way, I tell you a personal news, I'm getting married! The bride certainly hasn't changed, my dear Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth. The wedding date is set for April, and the spring flowers are blooming, and the heart flowers and spring flowers bloom together. Huh? Three musicians, which of you will conduct the symphony orchestra for me and Sissi to cheer me up? ”

Liszt: "It's such an honor that I will definitely go to your wedding, there is a wedding march in Wagner's Lohengrin!" He's the best fit, though, we'll all go. ”

Hey? Wedding march? Wouldn't that "block dangdang" music be written by Wagner next to him? It wasn't them who were honored, but Lord Windsor.

Not bad! There are two wedding marches in the world, one by Mendelssohn and the other by Wagner. Downing hummed his familiar wedding march to confirm his suspicions, and he was thrilled. Wagner conducted the orchestra himself, what a perfect wedding.

The BBC's first broadcast ended with Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique by record sales champion, and it was impossible to tell if the conversation at the salon had been carefully prepared and, if so, why it was so natural. It is difficult for people who are accustomed to seeing theater to come across this realistic "acting" style. If it weren't carefully prepared, it would seem too casual for such an important live broadcast, right?

In fact, this is a realistic style led by Downing, with a synopsis in advance, but crooked buildings are allowed, so it often becomes very natural and casual to talk, and Downing wants to train the BBC into a program that has something to say and is interesting and good. Kill your opponent a few streets in seconds. Of course, the BBC will not have an opponent for a long time, because in the current theistic era, controlling public opinion is crucial to his notorious ambassador to the devil.

I believe that soon there will be a call for him to open up the broadcasting technology, beautiful you, hum! On the first day, God said there would be light, and there was light. The next day, God said that there would be a sky, and there was a sky; On the third day, God said that there would be land and sea, and there was land and sea; On the fourth day, God said that there would be a sun and a moon, and there was a sun and a moon. On the fifth day, God said that there would be fish and birds, and there were fish and birds. On the sixth day, God said that there would be animals and men, and there were animals and men.

On the seventh day God rested, and on the eighth day, God said that there should be a broadcast, but did it turn out? Haha, God is too weak. If the church makes any more trouble, we Lord Windsor will say, "If you make any more noise, be careful that I turn off your electricity and see if God will "have electricity."

The later the believers of God have a broadcast, the greater the blow to God, which is what Downing thinks now.

Not to mention, there are really churches that don't use electricity in order to resist the devil, and the Telegraph is also happy to report on them, as a mess of the church, and by the way, they also pick up the kind of people who make such decisions, and sure enough, they can often dig up some interesting materials.

Because Queen Victoria is the head of the Anglican Church, Downing rarely interacts with the royal family now, and this time he did not invite his good friend Prince Albert, for fear that he would go back to kneel in the cactus.

I haven't seen my fiancée for more than a year, and I just keep it like this, and the distance is beautiful until I get married in April next year. The powerful devil does not have to worry that the Kingdom of Bavaria will not accept him as a son-in-law. The Munich car factory now leases out more than 10,000 smarts, which translates to £5 million a year and growing. The 5% stake of the Duke's family now earns 250,000 pounds, and maybe it will soar to a million pounds in a few years, which is a lot of money for a duke and for the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Besides, how much industry, employment, and tax revenue does a £5 million giant bring to the Kingdom of Bavaria? Now, when the Bavarians see the duke and the duchess, they consciously take off their hats and salute them in their hearts, and if the duke's family drives out the god of wealth because of religious issues, you can imagine what the thousands of workers at the Steinbell Automobile Factory and the workers of affiliated enterprises will look at.

That's hard power.

Sissi really didn't expect that she would marry a local tyrant more glorious than her sister Helen marrying the Austrian emperor. The queen, if you get married, you will get married, it has nothing to do with us Munich people, and the benefits that Princess Sissi's husband brings to Munich people are visible every day.
