Chapter 67: Tesla

After eight years of construction, Lishuping has now formed the scale of a small county town, with orderly, spacious and clean streets, and the design of each street fully takes into account the needs of rapid development. Traffic lights and street lights have even been set up at many important intersections.

In broad daylight, there is very little traffic on the streets of Lishuping County, and the vast majority of people work in factories and mines, with only a small number of outsiders, the elderly and traders.

"Yo, today's newspaper is not simple!"

In the teahouse, an old tea guest held a four-page newspaper with a long beard that had turned completely white, and cheered loudly with a smile, and other tea customers in the teahouse also came over with tea bowls.

The wet and cold weather in the southwest has made the teahouse a characteristic cultural product, especially after the income of every household increases, the old people who have suffered all their lives have been honored by their children, and many people have been lingering in the teahouse and flowers and birds in addition to their little grandchildren all day long. The most talked about is always the great changes in Dongchuan District, the Shusheng Company and the militia of the district head, and the district political axe that is now about to be established.

"You see, this newspaper said that when District Chief Zhang went to Huize Primary School for an unannounced visit, he actually encountered elementary school students braving the rain to greet higher-level officials. It's really ridiculous, children are weak, and they are in the prime of study, how can they be so flattered to their superiors, and the school administrators are simply corrupting the moral atmosphere. The old man said angrily.

"Good! Good! Good! A tea guest also looked at the big headlines on the Dongchuan newspaper, and couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed: "You see, District Chief Zhang severely reprimanded many school and county government officials on the spot, and made them stand in the rain for two hours. Afterwards, not only the principal and Director Ke were dismissed, but the county magistrate and deputy county magistrate were also demoted by two levels, which was simply very happy. ”

"Looking at the newspaper, District Mayor Zhang said this: Students are the future of our nation, and they bear the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, and they must not shorten their minds, and the perpetrators of such acts to please the officials should be brought ......to justice."

The tea guests shouted loudly, while reading the words on the newspaper in a low voice, every day, this Dongchuan newspaper is a highlight in the teahouse.

They also won't know that Zhang Shusheng's words in the newspaper today set the tone for similar things in the future. If there is a similar incident, not only the person concerned must be held responsible and punished, but even the official will be punished for dereliction of duty.

You see, the second page of the newspaper also said that when income is rising, how should people deal with the spiritual civilization problems brought about by the development of material civilization. That's really good, these big truths are really open. What's the use of more money, this county is built well enough, right? If it is left to a group of unscrupulous descendants who have brought disaster to the country and the people, won't it make people die blindly!! It's better to burn it on fire. ”

"yes. I agree with the viewpoint of carrying forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation advocated by the district political axe, and if the economy goes up, it is not enough for the troops to be able to fight, and the quality of this person must also keep up. "The tea guests are all old men, and they are the first to learn many new ideas and new words put forward by the district political axe.

"The comment in the last issue is very consistent with this virtue construction. It is said that national unity should concentrate on economic development, but it is also necessary to guard against covetousness by foreign enemies at all times. It is not only about our Dongchuan, but also about some of the losses that China has suffered in the north and in the south. You said that if District Chief Zhang became a big warlord in the future and occupied the whole country, how good it would be. ”

"Who says it's not, it's not my race, its heart will be different, Xiao Yueben still occupies our Taiwan, what is the result? Several cannons and people in the north and south are still fighting hotly. Don't look at how well our Dadongchuan area is doing now, eating well, dressing well, using goods that I never dreamed of before, children are in school, tuition is free, and lunch is provided. This kind of thing, put it in the whole of China, and we Dongchuan family. An old man pounded the table.

In Zhang Shusheng's jurisdiction, the policy is indeed good. For example, although the economy has been tight, he has never relaxed, let alone perfunctory. Don't have the money to fix the cafeteria? Then fix the kitchen first, and let the students take it back to the classroom to eat, and provide a free lunch. Don't have the money to set up cutlery? Then let the students bring their own utensils, and the school will disinfect them uniformly. Now that the sphere of influence is getting bigger and bigger, in view of the fact that people in some areas have become rich first, Zhang Shusheng also ordered the implementation of the corresponding regional surname tax policy and the family personal income tax tax policy, which not only ensures that the wealth is hidden from the people, but also ensures that the political axe invests in construction, the development of transportation, and education.

People have high incomes, have extra money, and do not have the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that used to crush people to death, and they are still very welcome to the tax policy of Dongchuan District. After all, even the stupidest people understand through propaganda and education that it is beneficial for them to use taxes to carry out construction and development education.

An elegant old man, who seems to have a lot of cultural knowledge, "Hmph, in my opinion, the world is chaotic enough, there are several warlords in one province, not to mention, a few cannons in the north and south, I think it's the same as what the newspaper says, one by one slogan shouts very loudly, but how many are really for the people?" The common people under their hands, who can't eat, still can't eat, are busy selling the country in exchange for the handouts of the great powers, sacrificing their roots. ”

"There's no way around it. In our world, after the imperial system, the chaos is not over. The monkeys all want to jump the king, but they have to let them jump away, so that District Chief Zhang can clean up one by one, right? Who said that last time? With our Dongchuan army, sweeping Yunnan is a trivial matter. ”

"District Chief Zhang is really a capable person, look at the changes in our Dongchuan over the years, who doesn't pay attention to him."

"yes. I think back then, when District Mayor Zhang first came to our Lishuping, there was only one rotten village here, but now? In the big county town, there are big cars running all over the place, and the lights can be turned on for five hours a day. District Chief Zhang's troops can also fight, and they beat the two dog thieves, Miao Renyi and Wu Xuexian, in a few strokes. Luckily, we won, and if we lose, we'll go back to eight years ago. ”

"But no, last month, our family went to the square to send our grandson to join the army, and I, who was a grandfather, told him that all the big truths are false, as long as I can eat and dress every day, he will honestly go to the army with the old man, and if you want to go back to the bitter days eight years ago when you didn't even have a bowl of porridge to drink for the New Year, you can go with the old man. As a result, he was even higher than the old man, saying that he was taught in school, and he picked up a gun to defend the economic results. Outdated, outdated......"

"Hahaha......" The old man said something interesting, which immediately made the whole room laugh.

"Old men, today I got a new gadget for you with my lame three." When the tea guests were laughing and talking about political affairs, the teahouse owner limped in, holding a large cardboard box in his arms.

"Yo, third child, what kind of rare treasure are you holding?" The tea guests all noticed the smile on the lame third child's face that couldn't be hidden, what kind of treasure did the third child buy back?

The lame third man put the box on the counter, and everyone saw it clearly, and immediately exclaimed: Radio!!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this teahouse business can be regarded as thanks to everyone's support every day, no, my third child is happy today, and paid for everyone to buy a radio. Bleeding Ben, just for everyone to drink happily and have fun in the future. ”

"How much does this cost? It must be expensive. ”

"Yes, most of my savings have been spent on it, and I'll open meat for everyone today." The lame third child also smiled from ear to ear, he was disabled, if it weren't for this teahouse, he would have died of poverty.

"Quick, let it go to everyone, the newspaper said the day before yesterday that our first radio station in Dongchuan has been built, and we are going to try it today, hahaha......"

The tea customers were suddenly happy, they didn't expect to see the long-awaited things while chatting today, and many people have been greedy for this kind of radio that has only been sold out for a long time. It can be seen in the newspaper at both ends in three days, and it is sold to Guangdong today, and tomorrow there will be Shanghai businessmen squatting at the factory gate waiting for goods and so on.

The third lame man is really a thief-like person, the radio actually appeared two years earlier, it was produced by the Lishuping Electronics Factory in the Xiaoqingshan Industrial Zone, but it was only supplied to the coastal area at the earliest, and the sales volume was not large. Not to mention that this thing is expensive at the beginning, it also needs a lot of supporting radio stations and the like, and the opening of broadcasting is only a matter of this year.

At the beginning, the electronics factory only solved the problem of whether there was or not. In the beginning, radios and tubes were purchased, and they could only produce some accessories and assemble them themselves. In 1921, the electronics factory invested and built by Shusheng Company expanded its production capacity and completed the second phase of construction, which produced the first batch of practical electronic parts, and the electron tube is a typical representative.

Speaking of the technical problems encountered by Shusheng Company in recent years, this electronics factory is definitely one of the most representative surnames. Although in the past seven or eight years, Xiaoqingshan Technical School has cultivated many technical talents with strong practical surnames, and Southwest University has later followed suit and cultivated many qualified modern talents, but even so, it still takes a long time to tackle each technology in the laboratory composed of returned scholars, foreign experts, and student researchers.

It's not that the technical difficulty is particularly high, but that there are too many manufacturing problems, and Shusheng's production experience in electronics is almost zero, and it costs a lot of money just to purchase original equipment from abroad. It was only later that the situation changed when these devices were gradually copied.

On the occasion of the formation of the political axe in Dongchuan District, Zhang Shusheng also took advantage of the situation to set up a radio station and form a three-dimensional propaganda network with newspapers.

"Zhang, you have to allocate another amount of money to support this research project. Of course, it is better to set up a laboratory. Dressed in an ordinary gray-and-white suit, Nikola Tesla came to Zhang Shusheng's office with excitement on his face and handed him a report in his hand. Edison missed the invention of the electron tube, and I wouldn't make the same mistake as him. ”

Tesla is an extremely persistent person, since 1918, when Zhang Shusheng abducted him back with a drawing of wireless power transmission, he has hardly been out of the laboratory.

This genius scientist found that every time he talked to Zhang Shusheng about his previous ideas that were difficult to prove through experiments, he would feel that he was suddenly open, some were one concept, and some were another way of thinking, which made him always have an illusion: Zhang Shusheng was a creative genius.

So, this real genius ran towards Zhang Shusheng's office twice in three days, and his guards were not afraid of losing him, because this genius would always have only three places to go: the laboratory, home, and Zhang Shusheng's office.

Zhang Shusheng was actually not prepared to give him anything too advanced at the beginning, and his own thinking was very advanced.

Just made up for the little thing that was missing in his conception, and then, the genius suddenly realized that he was only one step short of many ideas.

"Huh? A solid-state semiconductor device? Can it be used for signal processing and amplification? As soon as Zhang Shusheng opened the report, he was stunned for a moment, speaking of which, he had looked through similar information last night, but he put it away for the time being, after all, this thing is different from the electron tube, but another transistor that is relatively more difficult to manufacture.

He doesn't lack technology here, but he lacks someone who turns them into practical technology, otherwise, if you give them blueprints, you won't be able to make anything. He clearly remembers that when producing that kind of bulky radio equipment, there were purchased parts, there were drawings provided by himself, and the technicians could not figure it out, and in the end it was Tesla, the radio patent holder, who solved the problem.

Also, when I was producing my own tubes, because the people in the laboratory wanted to carry out a production technology innovation, they ended up stuck there, but I didn't expect to be touched by Tesla, and I drew two lines on the process and got it done......

"Well, specifically, it's going to be much more versatile, especially when it comes to processing high-frequency signals, and it has an indescribable advantage over tubes. For example, the radar theory that you asked me to rethink would be bulky if we used electron tubes, but if we used transistors in the future, it would be much smaller. ”

Zhang Shusheng was a little crying and laughing, some time ago he told Tesla a key data about radar, this genius was so excited that he said that he didn't care about eating for a day, and he was lying there to draw drawings.

As a result, he excitedly told Zhang Shusheng: I must make radar, because there is finally something that Edison will never be able to make, which makes him very happy.

Then he also told Zhang Shusheng that the principle of the electron tube should be used to produce an instrument that can be used to display radar search results.

Zhang Shusheng was immediately happy, thinking that his radar and display seemed to have fallen. With this genius to follow, the progress of the laboratory is at least twice as fast.

And, it seems that this year, many patents for TVs are about to be applied, and I was about to send someone to start first, but I didn't expect to be caught up by Tesla.

Looking at the materials of the transistor, he didn't dare to think about how much this plan would cost, just buying some instruments in short supply and developing other instruments in his own electronics factory and machinery factory was an astronomical amount, he made a decision on the spot and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Tesla, as long as the research progress of radar and tube display can catch up, I can allocate money alone to build a transistor laboratory." ”

"Don't worry, Zhang, I've regained my youthful feeling, I've never been as energetic as I am now, I can work 20 hours a day. Poor Edison, in addition to theory, he will always lag behind me in invention. This year, I'll be able to produce results. ”

Tesla left happily, Zhang Shusheng called Mao Yunxian and instructed: "You must personally supervise Mr. Tesla's work and diet, and the medicine prepared for him must be let him take it." ”

Opening the drawer, Zhang Shusheng took out a plan that had been written, which was a sub-plan of the second five-year plan. The above is a plan to invest in the construction of several precision machining and precision instrument manufacturing factories within five years, with the current level of Zhang Shusheng's instrument factory, compared with the advanced level of the West, it is still a lot worse, but he is confident that in the second five-year plan, it will completely catch up, and strive to surpass the Westerners in the third five-year plan, in terms of precision machining and manufacturing.

He couldn't help but sigh that except for the initial investment figure calculated by the Dreamer later in the plan, everything seemed so hopeful, and he would definitely be able to do it.
