Broadcast trials? It's kind of interesting!

Situ Nan smiled slightly, and rotated the button quantitatively, accompanied by the sound of squeaky electricity, and after a while, an exciting voice came from the radio.

"This is the White House in Washington, and I'm President Carl? Coolidge. Now for a great experiment, from Washington on the East Coast to San Francisco on the West Coast, I hope the citizens of San Francisco will hear me.

Two other overseas countries are participating in the global radio broadcasting trial, namely London on the other side of the Atlantic and New Tangshan on the other side of the Pacific.

I hope that the citizens of London, the citizens of New Tangshan, you can hear my voice, this is a blessing from the United States. ”

****??

Coolidge's voice was short and uninspiring, but there was a round of applause in the mall.

Whew-

People cheered to hear the voice from the White House, and it was not the first time that Americans had heard the president's voice on the radio, but their enthusiasm was still high, encouraged by the development of communications technology.

The state dinner at the White House was being broadcast live on the radio, and the attire of the guests, the speeches of the dignitaries, and the expressions on the faces of the people were all reported in detail by the host and transmitted to the world.

The broadcast was planned by Cummins Broadcasting, which joined forces with six U.S. broadcasters to participate in the operation, with more than 150 radio stations broadcasting the White House state dinner on the Internet, delivering information to more than 1 million radios.

Well done! This is a new wave of commercialization of radio broadcasting!

Situ Nan praised in his heart, it can be expected. As a result, radio stations in the United States will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and more and more radios will enter ordinary homes, and people's lives will change forever.

"Will London listen to American radio?" He Xiangu asked Situ Nan, her face was a little confused, and she seemed to feel a little incredible.

The same expression appeared on the faces of those around them, who did not doubt that the broadcast would reach San Francisco, but crossed the ocean to London with less confidence.

"Of course!"

Situ Nan confidently said that even humans can fly across the Atlantic, so why can't broadcasting?

Back in the time of Marconi's radio trials. Radio waves have been able to travel across the Atlantic, and now they are just a widespread use of this technology.

"I think so, too!" He Xiangu nodded, infected by Situ Nan's self-confidence.

"Awesome!" She clenched her little fist and praised, and asked Situ Nan again, "What about Nanhua?" How many 16,000 kilometers from the South Sea to the West Coast of the United States? ”

"No problem. For radio waves, it's just a little distance. ”

Situ Nan held He Xiangu's small fist, patted his chest, and explained. "Washington's radio came to San Francisco, then to Hawaii, and then to the East through the Hawaii transit point. We will install a transmitter station on the island on the way to strengthen the signal, young master, I have paid a lot of money. ”

Originally, Tokyo participated in the test plan, but after the earthquake in Japan, the test in Tokyo was canceled and replaced with New Tangshan, the capital of South China.

This plan was added to Situ Nan's strong request later. Cummins Broadcasting Corporation has a radio station in Hawaii. It is also the only radio station at present, in order to transmit signals to South China, Situ Nan sponsored an additional $100,000 to build high-power transmission stations on Hawaii, Midway Island and other islands along the way, which is cheap for the US government.

"Great radio! I'm going to buy it! ”

Situ Nan patted the Cummins radio with satisfaction, and the wooden shell made a crisp sound. In Situ Nan's opinion, this guy is a bit bulky, but it is a good commodity.

Coming out of the radio area, Situ Nan visited other electrical appliances. In addition to radios, washing machines, vacuum cleaners. Refrigerators are also hot-selling products, which are related to family life, and use machines instead of manpower.

The popularization of electrical appliances has greatly reduced the labor burden of women, and women in the United States are increasingly going out of the house, participating in work, and participating in social affairs.

Looking at the electrical appliances in the mall, Situ Nan found that Cummins Electric did the best job in the radio market, followed by Westinghouse Electric. In the lighting market, GE dominates, after all, its predecessor is Edison Electric.

In addition, in terms of refrigerators and washing machines, Westinghouse and General Electric's advantages for Cummins Electric are not very obvious, and Cummins Electric can work on these aspects.

Situ Nan thought in his heart and had an idea in his heart, and this accidental investigation gave him a lot of inspiration.

Back at the counter to check out, good guy, He Xiangu really bought a lot of goods, a long list, several pages, all in total, hundreds.

If you want to take it away, you just need to load several trucks.

Situ Nan glanced at He Xiangu, and his eyes seemed to ask. "Do you need all these things?"

Actually, they don't lack those things at all.

He Xiangu was a little embarrassed, her small chest straightened, and she reminded: "You bought all the electrical appliances in the back." ”

"Okay!"

Situ Nan spread out his hand, smiled slightly, and signed the check happily.

What warmed his heart was that He Xiangu bought several copies of the cosmetics and jewelry, although she didn't say it, it was estimated that they were also used to give away. There are not many women who come into contact with her, and if Situ Nan is right, those things should have been given to a few of his women.

Situ Nan also accepted his promise, and when he left, he gave each of the saleswomen who accompanied them shopping with a bottle of high-end perfume.

Situ Nan didn't take the electrical appliances he bought, and gave them all to the enthusiastic and meticulous saleswoman.

"See? When we came out just now, those people were stupid! And that little sister, you give her a lot of electrical appliances, she is so anxious that she is about to cry, and you think you want to do something to her? ”

He Xiangu sat in the car and squeaked and laughed, and kept talking about interesting things in the mall, I really didn't understand, after shopping for a long time, she was not tired at all.

"Look at your heat, I can't wait to go to the mall again." Situ Nan He Xiangu hugged her in his arms, scratched her nose, and smiled dotingly.

"Have fun with me at night! I came up with a wonderful pose. Situ Nan whispered to the root of He Xiangu's ear.

"Badass! Play for yourself! "He Xiangu is the same as Situ Nan. Thinking of the night, my heart fluttered.

Phew! How can I be so shameless?

She immediately stopped the association in her mind, and secretly swore that she would not let Situ Nan succeed at night.

Shortly after returning to the hotel, Macy's delivered the stuff. He Xiangu bought a lot of fashions in the mall, and at Situ Nan's request, she performed them one by one in front of Situ Nan.

Women are the ones who please themselves. not only satisfied her vanity, but also made Situ Nan overfed his eyes, but in the end he still failed to escape Situ Nan's clutches, and he was absurd (or crazy?) all night. ）。

The next day, when Situ Nan woke up refreshed. He Xiangu had already cleaned up and appeared in front of Situ Nan in a dignified manner, perfectly interpreting the role of secretary and lover.

"Very dedicated!"

Situ Nan looked at the delicate He Xiangu and smiled, "Actually, I prefer you to lie on the bed obediently and sleep lazy." ”

He Xiangu's heart warmed, and she smiled: "But I can't delay your work." ”

"You can let someone else do it."

"Nope! I'm willing to do that. He Xiangu insisted, thinking: What if he finds a female ****?? No, he must not be allowed to succeed.

"I didn't say it!" Situ Nan shook his head gently, this girl. I'm just too nervous. However, she also did a great job.

About yesterday's radio broadcast trials, it was reported in the newspapers. U.S. radio broadcasts were successfully transmitted to London and New Town, which meant that countries in Europe and Asia would soon be able to listen to U.S. broadcasts.

"You said it was right, and the experiment was successful. It's amazing. He Xiangu smiled.

"Of course. This plan has also made a lot of effort, how can it fail? Situ Nan was ashamed. The U.S. global radio broadcast experiment has caused a sensation in public opinion. After the newspaper rendering, the whole world was discussing the matter.

Situ Nan browsed several newspapers, and the American newspapers were excited, constantly touting the pride of Americans, although they did not say it explicitly. But reading between the lines suggests that the New World surpasses the Old World.

The tone of the European newspapers was a little sour, basically similar to the last time American pilots successfully flew over the Atlantic, and they were very envious of the rapid development of radio in the United States.

Depend on!

Nanhua is really not worth mentioning!

Situ Nan searched for a long time, and for the city that participated in this experiment, New Tangshan, the newspapers basically mentioned it, and only the Los Angeles Times wrote a little more.

"Trials are experiments. Intercontinental radio broadcasting is not practical at the moment, and it is the operation of the U.S. communications market that is the key. ”

Situ Nan put down the newspaper and compared the gap between Nanhua and Japan in the electronics industry, and found that it was really not one or two points.

"Girl! It seems that my brother is going to talk to Nanhua and let them also develop the wireless broadcasting business. Establishment of a Chinese-led broadcasting and telecommunications business in Nanyang. ”

Situ Nan smiled at He Xiangu. The morning that He Xiangu had prepared was very much to his liking.

"Good! It would be better to build a radio factory in Nanhua as well. He Xiangu agreed, with a look of excitement.

"Build a factory? Nanhua lacks talents in this area! The technology for the production of electronic tubes for radios is very advanced, can they make it? ”

Situ Nan said with some concern. I felt that I was investing in an assembly plant in Nanhua and importing electron tubes from the United States. After accumulating technology, an electron tube factory will be built in the future.

"What's not to do? It's a big deal to lose a few dollars, lose and lose, won't you progress? He Xiangu persuaded, seeing that Situ Nan was a little hesitant, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "Young master, you said that the United States, Germany and Britain are the only countries that have mastered the tube technology in this world, and the French can't do it." But at the same time, the technology is progressing rapidly, and second-rate countries such as Japan and Italy will also follow the United States, Germany, Britain and other countries to master this technology. This was originally lost at the starting line. ”

"You, you! You know that I can't hear that Nanhua is worse than Japan, so I deliberately said that, right? Situ Nan has some good air, according to his arrangement, Nanhua only mastered the tube technology a few years later.

"Tell the consulate that Cummins Electric will supply tubes if they want to make radios. At the same time, if they set up an electronic room, Cummins Electric is also willing to provide technical support. ”

Situ Nan commanded. He believed that Meihua would understand what he meant. The formation of the electronic real room is actually also a preparation for the production of electron tubes.
