Lin Qian's address in the telegram was the Xunhe Town Telegraph Office, and she must have waited anxiously for a reply in that small town telegraph office now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It would be nice to be able to talk directly to the phone!

The emerging telephone companies have laid lines to more than a dozen big cities, but the county towns across the country do not know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Dongfang Se entered the telegraph company, did not stop in the lobby on the first floor, and went directly to the VIP lounge on the second floor.

A person with status like him sat down on the sofa, and his own staff took the initiative to come forward to serve, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, serving tea and water.

He refused the tea, took out a ciphered message, and asked the staff to shoot it. The content is very simple, just eight words: but there is an invitation, nothing is not allowed.

An hour later, Dongseer received a long call back.

He asked the staff to help arrange a separate cubicle and began to decode the codebook. When the interpretation was complete, he read it all over again, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

It turned out that Lin Qian and they found a coal mine and wanted to hook up with Xu Guogong! They want to be pardoned, and they want him to help publish a book of poetry!

It's a lot easier than the bad things we first envisioned!

Coal mine or something, Dongfang Se didn't care about it, but he made up his mind to dedicate his life to the cultural industry!

But Wu Rui's gang was able to persist when they found a big source of wealth, which made him admire him very much. Many people lose their minds when they encounter a windfall from the sky. Offering the unattainable coal mine in exchange for practical benefits is a decision that cannot be made by people with great wisdom and perseverance!

Coincidentally, Liu Siyuan, the son of Xu Guogong, recently started a record company, and I heard that there are many new technologies that pose a great threat to his "Oriental Entertainment". Just take this opportunity to get in touch and develop personal relationships, if you can take the opportunity to board Xu Guogong's ship, it will be a real blessing!

He called Lin Qian back:

"If you know about the coal mine, you will do your best and die. The anthology can be sent to my mansion, and it is easy to publish! In addition, Qian, I miss it very much, and I only hope to see each other. Thur. ”

Huajie's acknowledgments came soon:

"Brother Dongfang is high, brother and thank you. Sharp. ”

Seeing the payment, Dongfang Se secretly scolded Wu Rui for being a bastard, and he was blindly mixed up!

Back at his mansion, Dongfang Se called the company secretary to send the recently collected information about Liu Siyuan.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that this seemingly unscrupulous son of the world had already tossed a lot of momentum!

He entangled a group of wealthy and idle aristocratic children to form the "Daqi Literature and Art Research Association", connecting the noble children in the "Royal Electrical Society", "Royal Electromagnetic Society", and "Royal Radio Society", and vowed to develop more advanced and better sound records.

What's crazy about this?

At this time, the recording industry around the world was still in the "era of acoustic recording", and "shellac records" were used to record music.

Acoustic recordings are purely mechanical, with sound picked up through loudspeakers and transmitted to a machine, where the mechanical device engraves the waveform of the sound onto a fluffy waxy disc.

What's worse is that there is no signal amplification!

The only way to record faint sound waves is to gather the players in a small house, as close to the horn as possible.

Singers obviously have the advantage of being flexible, they can poke their heads directly into the horn to get a more ideal sound effect.

Pianists and violinists are not so lucky, they have to accept a narrow frequency range, a shriveled and hollow timbre, a distorted sound quality, and many times the recording is complete garbage.

This is why there are more recordings of vocal works than instrumental music.

In fact, Daqi's pop music today is also limited by this recording method, and the most popular singers are often "sharp, straight, and white". Because it is only with this voice that the record is recorded clearly. But they were also nicknamed "nature screamers" by the newspapers.

And the most embarrassing thing in the literary and artistic circles is that the record technology is controlled by the United States Company. After the technician crossed the sea to Daqi to record, he brought the master disc back to make a record and then transported it back to Daqi.

This is how the record company of the Oriental Sejia is subject to the Chinese people!

Now the relationship between the two countries is tense, and the people of the United States often rely on their technological superiority to be arrogant, which finally angers the prodigal gentlemen.

Under the strong promotion of the semi-official of the children of the aristocracy, a large amount of capital and technology were invested.

But the first breakthrough was not the "Department of Electromagnetism" society, but the "Department of Chemical Engineering".

The raw material "shellac", which is used in the military industry and electrical industry, is used in large quantities, and the supply is seriously insufficient. Adhering to the spirit of "natural is not enough to make up artificially", the gentlemen found the "three chemical engineering societies" for help.

Because of the traverser Taizu, the "Royal Chemical Society", "Royal Petrochemical Society", and "Royal Polymer Chemical Research Association" took a large amount of money, and under the guidance of the emperor, they rushed to catch up with the United States.

Although Taizu is not a professional, he has also heard of the fine knowledge related to polyethylene and plasticizers. He can't give specific pointers, but he can hint in the right direction.

So a strange phenomenon appeared.

In the case that the "polymer line chain theory" has not yet appeared, Daqi scientists accepted and concluded without resistance that "polymers with long chain structure formed by small molecules are formed by chemical reactions, not simple physical agglomeration; Linear molecules can be synthesized by different methods and each has its own characteristics".

Of course they were right, because Taejo cheated.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Great Qi held the thigh of Britain and introduced a large number of experimental equipment, manufacturing equipment, and human resources. By the time of Taizu's death, the total output value of Daqi's chemical industry had far surpassed that of the United Kingdom.

When the people of the United States were at a loss for the large-scale industrial production of phenolic resin (the world's first synthetic resin), "Qihuang Chemical" had occupied the electrical appliance market with switches and sockets made of this material.

Relying on advanced vision, Daqi is at the forefront of the chemical industry. Countless official and non-governmental researchers have experimented with various additives of phenolic resins, delved into the industrial production method of polyethylene, and tried their best to soften and plasticize polyvinyl chloride (PVC......

At a time when foreign scientists didn't even know what the problem was, they began to search for the answer, and by the way, they reversed the theory of polymer chemistry.

It is no surprise that chloroacetic resin was invented by accident.

When Liu Siyuan, who had the whimsical idea of replacing shellac with chloroacetic resin, the world's first vinyl record was born!

After the progress of materials, the electromagnetism society has also made progress!

The first is the technological advancement of microphones. The "ribbon microphone" that applies the principle of electromagnetic induction replaces the radio speaker.

Then the invention of the "power amplifier" was also integrated. The era of electroacoustic recording has arrived.

Dongfang Se flipped through the information collected by commercial spies, and he was shocked by the relevant data.

The frequency response range of electrical recordings is greatly expanded, and the microphone system can capture a wide area of sound, so musicians don't have to squeeze around the studio horn in pain, and can play in a relaxed environment.

In the internal test report leaked by the "Literature and Art Research Association", Liu Siyuan commented, "Finally, the piano in the record sounds like a piano, and the band sounds like a band." ”

The piano sounds like a piano and the band sounds like a band! This seems like a simple requirement, but only professionals understand how difficult it is to do it!

And these gentlemen seem to have come true!

The "Literature and Art Research Society" is no longer a small and fresh organization with the goal of "making the best records in the world", and its purpose has become: scientific application and technology industrialization.

A month ago, the "Wenyan Music Group" was quickly established, and a group of aristocratic children pooled shares to build a music company, a gramophone production factory, and a record production factory.

Dongfang Se has almost seen the end of the collapse of his own record company!

To make matters worse, the maturity of microphone technology has made them perceive another opportunity.

Broadcast!

A whole new medium!

The "Wenyan Music Group" has set up an experimental radio station and sent 500 radios to the nobles of the imperial capital free of charge.

At the same time, they are throwing a lot of money at electromagnetic experts and radio experts, demanding the development of a domestic radio with simple structure, stable performance, and strong amplification ability.

"Is this going to break the roots of the print media?"

It may take two or three years for the broadcasting technology to mature, but if the Progressive Party fails to keep pace with the times and master this new tool of public opinion, it will certainly be greatly constrained in future election campaigns and propaganda!

Most of those aristocratic children are from the Labour Party!

As a politician with a keen sense of smell and wandering between the old aristocracy and the new chaebol, Dongfang Se must be involved in the research and development of this new technology before the gentlemen realize the significance of broadcasting technology!

The coal mine in the Northern Wilderness is his stepping stone!
