When the television was introduced two years ago, the inventor of the television set considered using a line similar to a telephone line to build a network, but in the end the idea failed. The transmission and transmission method of TV signal is not as simple as the telephone, only the electrical pulse needs to produce sound flow vibration to restore the sound, the TV needs not only the sound, but also the picture, the changing picture.

Eventually, this plan was replaced by tape, and buying this kind of player with a free TV set became the only option for merchants. For merchants, it doesn't matter what they choose, they just need to make money, and it is not conservative to estimate that this kind of official version of what player has sold 170,000 units in the entire Western region. What is this concept?

3,000 yuan, 170,000 units, and almost 500 million sales, which is enough to build a huge consortium out of thin air. Of course, this money can't be calculated in this way, and the difference between gross profit and net profit is very large, sometimes as many as several times. But no matter how you say it, a net profit of 100 million will never be less.

The merchant seems to smell more money from this, and as some visionaries have speculated, one day television will enter thousands of homes and become one of the universal and necessary "furniture" such as shoe closets, closets, dining tables, etc. This will be a terrifying market, and many capital predators have also poured into this market and started a battle for interests.

They don't seem to realize that when the commodity terminal market tends to overflow, service delivery is the real big thing in the future!

If they can sell a million machines, there will inevitably be a million users waiting for wired access!

In the next step of Dühring's research plan for Stan Ein, fidelity and decoding during the transmission of wired signals are ranked first. Once these two troublesome problems can be solved, then with the monopoly of technology, Duhrin will monopolize this market for at least the next ten years. Patent barriers and technological faults will become the fatal pain of catch-ups, and they have to invest heavily to make up for the gap in technology between the two sides, and then invest ten times or even a hundred times the amount of money to bypass Dühring's patent barriers.

By the time they were able to get around, the market had almost turned from windfall profits to small profits.

The research and development of wired access does not mean that the tape market will be abandoned, in fact, the profit of the tape market is still a huge gold mine with no bottom. Du Lin vaguely remembers that in the dream, the big guy talked to some people about film and television, in that place called America, the majority of the production company's income comes from wonderful CDs and peripherals, so the tape industry will never fall behind, if you can't make money, it's not a problem of the industry, it's a problem of concept and ability.

In the next few days, the head of the joint construction project approached Doolin and hoped that he would be able to visit the blasting of the "right wall" mountain. The right wall mountain is the mountain range to the east of Otis City, the mountain is actually not high, the highest place is more than 700 meters, the lower place is two or three hundred meters, the north and south longitudinal walking, the width is about 400 meters to 500 meters.

After more than two months of careful measurement and research, the joint construction team finally chose to make an opening in a place where the mountain structure is stable, and then fix the cliffs on both sides and directly run through the mountain range on the right.

Originally, Doolin had an idea to drill a hole and make a tunnel, but the joint construction team studied it and rejected Doolin's idea. Because of technical and construction reasons, it is not impossible to open a cave, but it requires more money and time, and it is not as simple as opening a mountain directly.

Durin thought about it for a moment, agreed to the request, and invited the more prestigious investors in the city of Otis to visit the first round of blasting with him, so that they could feel the determination and attitude of the town hall to connect things through the world!

"When will it be opened? I hope you will focus your work on the project more than you have seen it!", Durin said to the co-builders as he walked, but his tone was tougher.

The person in charge of the joint construction project was not annoyed, but kept nodding his head yes, catering to Du Lin's reaction, "It will take about three months to open up the entire mountain, and we will build a railway while digging the mountain." I have to say that the Empire's construction machinery is very easy to use, at least much better than that of the Federation! So this can greatly save our costs, reduce the working time, at most half a year, you can see two smooth east-west railways appear on the map. ”

The Empire's construction machinery is all modified from AT-1 weapon carrying platforms, which were terrifying weapons of war in the past, capable of carrying several cannons, and can also directly install a sentry fortress on it to form a mobile defense line. A weapon-carrying platform with an added manipulator interface can handle many things that cannot be done by humans on a daily basis, and it is only a matter of time before a mountain is carved.

As more and more people participated, at half past ten in the morning, a loud noise was heard, the earth seemed to tremble, a crack appeared in the mountain, and a large number of rocks began to slide downward.

"Explosives?", Durin recognized the glow of the fire and the smoke thicker than steam.

Gunpowder does not exist, but it is lost to Yaojing in many aspects, so the field of use is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to see the figure of gunpowder. But this does not mean that gunpowder is useless, the explosive expansion rate of gunpowder in the sealed space exceeds the speed of the reaction of Yaojing, and the force is greater, and it is mostly used in large-scale projects.

The person in charge nodded, "Yes, we considered using the Yaojing blasting canister, but later the chief engineer rejected the idea, on the one hand, because of the cost, and on the other hand, because of the danger caused by unsuccessful blasting. ”

The Yaojing blasting cylinder is to process the Yaojing into a fine powder, and then increase the concentration of the catalyst, and mix the two sides together instantaneously to achieve the explosion phenomenon caused by the sudden increase in pressure in the container. But sometimes there is a small accident in this thing, for example, the pressure is enough, but it does not explode, but instead "squeezes" the blaster out of the solid rock mass like a cannon, causing casualties to people in the distance.

The main reason for this is that the speed of reaction is slower than that of gunpowder, and the pressure increases little by little, and the only place in the rock mass where you can find a way to break through is one after the other, and no matter how you break through from there, it will eventually become a huge trouble. Either it flew out and injured the construction crew, or it turned into an unstable bomb full of enormous pressure, which required special machinery and equipment to dismantle, resulting in a delay in the project.

In the end, gunpowder was chosen, although the price of gunpowder was slightly higher, but the reliability was greatly increased. The person in charge was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Durin still knew about gunpowder.

After the first round of blasting, the onlookers from a distance suddenly felt a continuous vibration coming from under their feet, and more parts of the mountain began to tilt, move, and collapse. With a loud bang, a huge stone rolled down from the mountain, like a hammer hammering people's chests!

After a moment of silence, applause immediately rang out, and one construction machinery was launched, and the right mountain range through the project officially began!

"Tell someone to get some fist-sized gravel, tie it with a ribbon, and give it to every dignitary present!", Durin commanded, and Dove immediately began to work on it with her two little henchmen. Originally, Dove proposed that Alice be the spokesman, but Durin refused, because Alice had a greater role and could never be used in this small place.

She is still in her cell because she is suspected of planning and participating in the murder of the mayor, and she will not be released on bail until she can explain why she knew about the assassination plan and process, and she will also take pictures as a memento.

The project on the right wall once again shook some merchants of Namillindes, and the advantages of the city of Otis became more and more obvious, and the shortcomings of the past were filled by Duhrin with great efforts, and when the east-west direction was opened to traffic, I am afraid that the city would really take off completely. If you don't seek a place in Otis City now, I am afraid that you will not have a chance in the future.

Merchants continue to drag their families to relocate their properties from Namelinders to Otis, much to the frustration of the new mayor of Namelindes. He had done his best, and most of the merchants were shaken, except for the old man who was selling fruit in a wheelchair next to the station, who insisted that he would not go to Otis City even if he died.

What's even more tragic is that there is nothing he can do about it, the glory of Namirinders has been taken away from him, he can't do anything about it, he doesn't even have the courage to negotiate with Durin. There is a rumor circulating among some small groups that Todd, the former mayor of Namirings, wanted to discuss the distribution of resources with Durin because he offended him, and was killed by Durin.

What's even more terrifying is that Durin didn't do anything after he killed Todd, and even the officials took the initiative to stand up and help him wipe his ass, which made many people speculate about what hole cards Durin had, or what foundation he had to make the imperial center favor him.

In this way, seeing that he was going to stay in Namillindes for four years, and then the young mayor who was evaluated as inaction sat in his office with a frown, when suddenly the phone rang and he was startled, and when he picked up the phone in a hurry, a young and unfamiliar voice came from the receiver, "Hello, I'm Durin!"

"First of all, congratulations on your promotion, and I have some things to do, I hope you can come to Otis City, we need to talk!"
