Cosma Empire

When the TV came out two years ago, the inventor of the TV considered using lines similar to telephone lines to lay a network, but in the end this idea failed. The transmission and transmission methods of TV signals are not as simple as that of telephones. Only electric pulses are needed to generate sound flow vibrations to restore the sound. TVs need not only sound, but also pictures, constantly changing pictures.

In the end, this plan was replaced by tape, and buying this kind of TV with an integrated player became the only option for merchants. For merchants, it doesn't really matter what they choose, as long as they can make money, it is not conservative at all to estimate that this kind of player, which is officially called why player, has sold 170,000 units in the entire western region. What concept is this?

Three thousand yuan, 170,000 units, almost 500 million in sales, is enough to build a huge consortium out of thin air. Of course, this amount of money cannot be calculated in this way. The difference between gross profit and net profit is very large, sometimes as much as several times. But no matter what, a net profit of 100 million will definitely not be less.

This businessman seems to smell more money from it. As some far-sighted people guessed, one day TV will enter thousands of households and become a common household item like shoe cabinets, closets, and dining tables. Must be one of the "furniture". This will be a terrifying market, and many capital predators have also poured into this market, starting a battle for interests.

They seem to have not realized that when the commodity terminal market tends to overflow, providing services is the real big head in the future!

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

In the next research plan proposed by Dühring to Stein Ein, the fidelity rate and decoding in the process of cable signal transmission are ranked first. Once these two troublesome problems can be solved, then relying on the technological monopoly, During will monopolize this market for at least ten years in the future. Patent barriers and technical gaps will become fatal pains for catch-uprs. They have to invest heavily to make up for the technical gap between the two parties, and then invest ten times or even a hundred times to bypass During's patent barriers.

When they can bypass it, the market will almost turn from huge profits to small profits.

The research and development of wired access does not mean that the tape market must be abandoned. In fact, the profit of the tape market is still a bottomless huge gold mine. Du Lin vaguely remembered that in the dream, the boss talked with some people about the topic of 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 be outdated. , If you can't make money, it's not a problem of the industry, but a problem of concept and ability.

In the next few days, the person in charge of United Construction Engineering found Du Lin, hoping that he could visit the blasting on the "Youbi" mountain. Youbi Mountain is the mountain range to the east of Odis City. The mountain is actually not that high. The highest point is only more than 700 meters, and the shorter part is 200-300 meters. It runs vertically from north to south, and its width is about 400-500 meters. meters or so.

After more than two months of careful measurement and research, United Construction Engineering finally chose to open an opening in a place with a stable mountain structure, and then fixed the cliffs on both sides, directly passing through the mountains on the right wall.

At first, Du Lin had an idea to drill a hole and build a tunnel. After the United Construction Engineering studied it, he rejected Du Lin's idea. Due to technical and construction period reasons, it is not impossible to open a cave, but it will cost more money and time, so it is not as simple as directly opening a mountain.

Du Lin thought about it and agreed to the request. At the same time, he also invited some well-known investors in Odis to visit the first round of blasting with him, so that they could feel the determination and attitude of the city hall to get things through. !

"When will it be open to traffic? Compared with your scenes, I hope you can focus on the project!" Du Lin walked and talked to the people of the joint construction workers, but it sounded tough .

The person in charge of United Construction Engineering is not worried either.

Instead, he kept nodding and said yes, catering to Du Lin's reaction, "It will take about three months to open up the entire mountain. We will dig the mountain and build the railway at the same time. I have to say that the construction machinery of the Empire is very useful, at least It’s much easier to use than the Federation’s! So this can greatly save our costs and reduce working hours, and after half a year at most, you can see two east-west railways appearing on the map.”

The construction machinery of the empire is all modified from the AT-1 weapon carrying platform. These weapon carrying platforms were terrifying war weapons in the past. They can carry several cannons, and a sentry fortress can be directly installed on it to form a mobile defense line. A weapon-mounted platform with an added engineering mechanical arm interface can handle many things that cannot be done by manpower every day. It is only a matter of time before a mountain is dug.

As more and more people participated, at 10:30 in the morning, there was a loud noise, and the ground seemed to tremble. A crack appeared in the mountain, and a large number of rocks began to slide down.

"Using explosives?" Du Lin recognized the fire and the smoke that was thicker than the steam.

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

The person in charge nodded, "Yes, we considered using Yaojing blasting tubes, but the chief engineer later rejected this idea. On the one hand, it was because of the cost problem, and on the other hand, it wanted to avoid the hidden dangers caused by unsuccessful blasting."

The Yaojing blasting cylinder is to process the Yaojing into fine powder, then increase the concentration of the catalyst, and mix the two sides together instantly, so as to realize the explosion phenomenon caused by the sudden increase of the pressure in the container. But this thing sometimes has a little accident. For example, the pressure is enough, but it does not explode. Instead, the blasting tube is "squeezed" out of the solid rock mass like a cannon, causing casualties to people in the distance.

The main reason for this is that the reaction speed is slower than that of gunpowder. As the pressure increases bit by bit, the only way to find a breakthrough in the rock mass is one in front of the other. No matter where you break through, it will eventually change. become a huge problem. Either it flew out and injured the construction workers, or it turned into an unstable bomb full of huge pressure at any time, requiring special machines and equipment to dismantle it, resulting in delays in the project.

In the end, gunpowder was chosen. Although the price of gunpowder is slightly higher, the reliability has been greatly increased. The person in charge was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Du Lin knew about gunpowder.

The first round of blasting ended, and the people watching 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 heavy hammer hitting people's chest hard!

After a moment of silence, applause erupted immediately, each construction machine was activated, and the penetrating project of the right wall mountain range officially started!

"Get someone to get some fist-sized gravel, wrap it with a ribbon, and give a copy to every distinguished guest present!" Du Lin ordered, and Dove immediately started to operate with her two little followers this matter. Originally, Dove proposed to let Alice be the press spokesperson, but Du Lin refused, because Alice has a greater role and must not be used in this small place.

She is still in the cell now. After all, she is suspected of planning and participating in a murder case against the mayor. Before she can explain why she knew the assassination plan and process, and took pictures as a souvenir, she has not yet Able to be bailed and released.

The project on the right wall once again shocked some merchants in Nami Lindes, and the advantages of Odis City became more and more obvious. The shortcomings of the past were filled by Durin with great efforts. The city will really take off completely. If you don't go to Odis City to seek a place now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future.

There are constant businessmen dragging their families to relocate their industries from Nami Lindes to Odis, which makes the new mayor of Nami Lindes look frustrated. He had tried his best, except for the old man who sold fruit in a wheelchair next to the station and insisted that he would not go to Odis City even if he died, most of the businessmen were shaken.

What's even more tragic is that he has nothing to do about it. The glory of Namirindes has been taken away, and he can't do anything. He doesn't even have the courage to negotiate with Durin. In some small groups, there is a saying that Todd, the former mayor of Namirindes, wanted to discuss the issue of resource allocation with Doolin because he offended Doolin, but was killed by Doolin.

What's even more frightening is that after Du Lin killed Todd, nothing happened. Even the officials took the initiative to stand up and help him wipe his ass. It can make the center of the empire favor him.

Just like that, seeing that he would stay in Namirindes for four years, and then the young mayor who was evaluated as inaction was sitting in his office with a frown, when suddenly the phone rang and he was startled, he felt a little When he frantically picked up the phone, a young and unfamiliar voice came through the receiver, "Hello, I'm Du Lin!"

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion. In addition, I have some things. I hope you can come to Odis City. We need to talk!"
