On the set of "Battle" in Sicily, in the casting office.
In 1942, he obtained the "Frequency Hopping Technology" patent issued by the United States and donated the patent to the U.S. government free of charge, hoping that it would be helpful to World War II. At the age of only 27, he became the "Mother of CDMA" and the world's first nude celebrity. Because of her beauty The actress Hedy Lamarr, who is famous but has a talent that is passed down to the world, and is currently working on a black thriller "Stranger Woman" with sadistic elements, rang the doorbell on time.
"Please come in." Mrs. Katie, who just returned to Sicily last night, was already sitting radiantly behind a desk filled with actor files early this morning. Set against the sunny beaches of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Good morning, ma'am."
"Good morning, ma'am."
Across the stacks of actor files, the two shook hands and greeted each other.
"Please sit down." Seeing the female star hesitantly reaching out to get her file, Mrs. Katie smiled and reassured: "These are actor files that were mailed from various places last week. I haven't had time to process them because I returned to Berlin. .Don’t mind.”
"I understand, ma'am. This is a big production that everyone wants to be a part of." Hedy Lamarr showed just the right amount of star-like elegance.
"Why did you come back?" Mrs. Kitty asked, the opening statement she must have prepared. This is the unavoidable fate of a female star who used narcotics to escape the confinement of her Nazi husband at a family dinner in 1937 and went to the United States. Later, under the introduction of Louis Meyer, she entered Hollywood and changed her stage name to "Hedy Lamarr" personal experience. It is said that when Heidi fled her first marriage and arrived in England, MGM co-founder Louis Meyer was recruiting actors in Europe, and Louis Meyer promised to hire her at a salary of $125 a week. Was rejected by Heidi face to face.
“Honestly, Anneliese Ackerman was a huge inspiration to me.” This is a convincing answer. As the "half-Jewish" German actress Anneliese Akerman, since she was able to get a starring role in "Battlefield", Hedy Lamarr obviously felt that she should also have the same opportunity.
And after experiencing a brief halo as the "fugitive actress" in Nazi Europe, Hedy Lamarr's meager acting skills and gradually outdated beauty are quickly consuming her fame. The film critic of the New York Times evaluated her very objectively, saying that she is essentially an exhibit in a museum, just like the Mona Lisa hanging in a museum. She is most beautiful when she is still. . This sentence actually refers to her "vase" acting skills. So much so that in just the past five years, when she was in her prime as an actress, she had to find a new way to star in a self-directed and starred black thriller "Strange Woman" with elements of sadism. So after hearing the news about "The Great Battle", she was ready to return to Europe to "try her luck."
"Tell me about your patent." Mrs. Katie's sudden change of topic made Hedy Lamarr, who was immersed in the narrative of her own experience, slightly panicked, but she was not at a loss. Because the question she asked was indeed her area of expertise.
"Well, that's a useless technology I invented based on the principle of musician George Antheil's synchronized piano playing. I wanted to use signals that cannot be accurately captured to increase the hit rate of torpedoes." Heidi Rama said He cheered up and replied with a smile.
"As a result, those cowboys simply did not believe that a beautiful actress also possessed an unparalleled imagination and talent as an inventor." To be honest, Mrs. Katie's words were very bold in this era. Especially given the unpredictable times.
"Yes, ma'am." The "Mother of CDMA" who originally wanted to respond with humility as a habit, suddenly changed her tune when the words came to her lips. Because the person sitting opposite is also a "famous woman" who walks among men and has gained powerful power and high status.
"Look at this." Their eyes met, confirming that he was the right person. Lady Katie handed her a file.
"Who is it?" Hedy Lamarr subconsciously thought it was her competitor. As a result, I quickly opened it and found that it was a volume of blueprints.
"The latest wide-gauge Dora cannon." Mrs. Katie spoke quickly: "In order to adapt to the 'SA3 military express train' and fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity of the original standard track. All auxiliary vehicles and engineering equipment will be They were all integrated into a broad-gauge train gun with a total length of 53 meters, a height of 12 meters, and a total weight of 1,488 tons in combat mode. An automatic conveyor belt and an automatic loader were used to replace manual operations, and the operator was finally successfully lowered. Within 100 people. If the rate of fire is not considered, only a team of 10 people can complete a bombardment. But the next bombardment may have to wait until the sun rises again. Although "one gun a day is already a big deal", I think Know if there’s anything you can do to improve.”
"What's the problem now?" Hedy Lamarr unknowingly began to focus on the design blueprint of the wide-gauge Dora cannon.
"Although the theoretical rate of fire of the Dora Cannon is 14 rounds/day, the fastest rate of fire is about 4 rounds/hour. However, during the 12 days of actual combat, considering the huge size and weight of the shells, even with mechanical power assistance, The reloading speed is still very slow; and each launch requires a lot of data calculations, including: muzzle velocity, flight time, powder charge, temperature, combustion chamber pressure, distance, weather conditions, and the wear degree of the combustion chamber and rifling... Mrs. Katie said what she learned: "In my opinion, they have only solved half of the problem. That is 'slow reloading speed'. The other half of the problem lies in 'large amounts of data calculation'."
"You're solving the other half of the 'big data computing' puzzle." Hedy Lamarr has nailed the hard part. As for why the question in a casting interview was "Improvements of the latest wide-gauge Dora cannon". Hedy Lamarr also completely failed to grasp it.
"That's it." Mrs. Katie nodded slightly.
"If that's the case, I recommend someone to you." Hedy Lamarr finally grasped the key node of her own exclusive branch plot.
"Who is it?" Mrs. Katie asked with interest.
"Conrad Zuse." Hedy Lamarr said a rather unfamiliar name.
"Who is he?" Mrs. Katie, who has extensive connections in the upper-class social circle, has obviously never heard of the name of this "little character".
"He is a magical engineer. In my opinion, the work he is doing is unparalleled in creativity. It may even change the world." Hedy Lamarr's evaluation is quite high. Quite to the point too.
"Oh?" Mrs. Katie glanced at the two-way mirror on the side wall with the corner of her eye.
Ordinary mirrors add a layer of coating behind the glass to reflect the image. The mirror surface of the double-sided mirror is made by adding a layer of metal film using a vacuum coating method in front of the glass, and the reflective surface is on the surface. The person inside looks like an ordinary mirror. People on the back see transparent glass windows. Katie's salon used to install double-sided mirrors of this type. At the request of Gestapo leader Heydrich, a camera was hidden behind the double-sided mirror facing the bed in each bedroom. Document the "bed scandals" of worthy targets. Use it as a threat to trade information when necessary. Even the delivery benefits.
The same goes for this casting office.
It's just that whenever important plot characters are cast, the people sitting in the next room are female reporters and others.
"Oh my God." After completing "0326 Star Cube Base Personnel Settlement and Return Process", the female military doctor Carol Baker, who had already jumped out of the original plot time and space, had already recognized this Hedy Lamarr: "Why? It will be her..."
Same as everyone in the show. This Hedy Lamarr is not a real person in history, but she is not a heroine from the biographical plot of "The Beauty: The Biography of Hedy Lamarr" either.
But...
Female inventor "Hedy Lamarr".
