Another batch of 20 radio equipment was shipped from the United States. There was also a letter sent by Zou Zhou.
There is no way, the current output is just like this, but as the personnel are gradually trained and the machinery is assembled, the output will make a big leap.
Li Yu learned from the letter that Zou Zhou had been busy in Detroit. During this period, he trained two groups of Chinese workers to enter the factory.
However, it can be seen from between the lines that Zou Zhou is still a little soft-hearted. Seeing so many Chinese people living in difficulty in Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, New York, he is always hesitant about who to recruit.
Li Yu could actually imagine his situation. Just like in the first few years of the talent show, every contestant seemed to have a very miserable story.
Then the audience was emotionally touched and voted for them like crazy. People are all slaves to their emotions. But today's Chinese are actually many times worse off than they were.
Zou Zhou is like a judge. The key is that he himself comes from a humble background, so it is difficult to refuse. The main reason is that Li Yukai's conditions are too good and are better treated than many white Americans, which leads to too many Chinese wanting to enter.
Li Yu thought about the situation and wrote back to Zou Zhou. From now on, each family can only allow one worker to enter the factory. With the salary level he offered, one worker can more than feed a large family and live a good life. In addition, he must strictly If you are stuck in the review process and you really can't make a decision, go to Situ Meitang.
Of the twenty radio equipment sent by the United States, Li Yu only kept two, and the rest were snatched up by various embassies and Beiyang as soon as the news was released.
However, the Qing court is still indifferent. After all, they have spent a lot of money on telegraph lines before.
At least they feel similar at the moment. Li Yu really made a lot of money. Except for the normal price or friendly price given to Beiyang, the remaining 12 units sold each made a net profit of nearly 10,000 silver yuan. It felt like he was robbing money.
It seems that in this era, high technology is also the most profitable. I finally understand why Apple can become the world’s largest company by market capitalization.
And in addition to number one, Microsoft and Google are also in the top five, both of which are technology companies. Of course, the U.S. stock market does have a lot of water. It is one of the three giants along with the domestic property market and the Japanese bond market. Everyone knows that there are bubbles but it is difficult to pop them.
Even if the output is expanded in the future and the price is lowered, it will only make more money. The German minister said regretfully: "Our country has so many technical geniuses, why didn't I bring only one technical consultant from home? There are only military consultants, medical consultants, legal consultants and economic consultants. Today, such products can only be sold at high prices. There is no room for purchase." Not only the German embassy, but also the major embassies want to find Chinese people who understand science and technology.
They have always felt that China is a technological desert and there is no need to have so-called technical consultants. Their own knowledge is enough to cope with it.
——Patent Office, Bern, Switzerland. After Einstein saw Li Yu's telegram, the troubles that had been pent up in his heart for a month were relieved a lot.
But even with Li Yu's full support, Einstein was still hesitant because it was too shocking. The theory of constant speed of light at the beginning alone will attract a lot of objections.
Although Michelson and Morley have confirmed through experiments that the speed of light does not change due to changes in the reference frame.
But as Lord Kelvin, the authority in physics today, said, it is a dark cloud. People don’t like dark clouds, and they don’t want to believe that dark clouds are real.
So many people are still trying to explain it. On the other hand, Einstein has directly regarded the constant speed of light as the two basic assumptions of the theory of relativity and started to build a grand building.
Once you make a mistake, you lose everything. After all, the Galilean transformation in classical physics is only a few hundred years old, so it is too challenging to say that it is wrong now.
Galileo is recognized as
"Father of Modern Physics",
"Father of Modern Science". Modern! no
"Father of Ancient Physics".
"Do I really want to question such a great senior?" Einstein was extremely confused. After thinking about it, he decided to review the results of his discussion with Li Yu from the beginning.
If I really make a mistake, I can't afford the public opinion storm as a small temporary worker, and maybe I won't even be able to work as a temporary worker.
——A few days later, Li Yu received another mail from abroad.
"express delivery". The same big guys: four cars consigned by Daimler. As required, it is equipped with the most advanced technologies in today's automotive industry such as a new four-wheel drive system, electronic ignition system, and car lighting system.
Daimler and Maybach also very considerately included several large barrels of gasoline. It is difficult to buy gasoline in Beijing and Tianjin today. Without gasoline, a horse has no grass to eat.
However, the price of gasoline in foreign countries is actually very low now, mainly because almost no one wants it. No one knows its use at all, and the quality cannot be compared with that of later generations.
Just like sake and sake, there is a huge difference in quality. The quality of gasoline also affects the engine development process and technological development to a certain extent.
In short, today's chemical industry is really just chemical industry, and the presence of gasoline is extremely low. On the contrary, most people in later generations only know about gasoline, but do not know the huge chemical industry behind it.
And every time the oil price is adjusted by only two or three cents, it will make headlines. It's also quite interesting. Many people don't blink when they buy a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. They have to buy this and that configuration. When it's time to refuel, they start to budget carefully.
Li Yu doesn't quite understand how to explain this phenomenon in consumer psychology. Maybe it’s the so-called affordability but not affordability?
After all, it costs several hundred yuan to refuel every month. Anyway, before he traveled through time, many people had even begun to turn to new energy sources.
There is no place to put the car now, so Li Yu has no choice but to park it in the open space outside his house. And since no one knew how to drive, Li Yu drove the cars back from Zhengyangmen Railway Station in person.
He was not idle either, letting Zhao Qian take a good look at how he drove, and by the way, he gave him some popular car science.
Zhao Qian was really interested. After he came back, he kept caressing the brand-new cars and kept them. Fengling said disdainfully: "Look at your thin hair, you are more affectionate than my mother." Zhao Qian said piously: "I finally understand why sir said that machinery is the mark of men, I love it so much!"
"It's genes." Li Yu corrected. Zhao Qian asked: "What is it?" It seemed that there was really no way to explain it, so Li Yu had no choice but to say: "Just be my lover!" Zhao Qian hugged the car and said, "That's right, you are my lover. !mua!" He kissed her.
"Tch!" Feng Ling snorted coldly,
"I really don't understand the style." She stopped studying the few iron knots in front of her eyes and turned back to the house. Li Yu carefully taught Zhao Qian how to drive and asked him to practice as soon as possible.
Zhao Qian changed his mind again and again: from rickshaw to horse-drawn carriage, and then to car, life seemed to be on a roller coaster.
Li Yu could see that he really liked driving, and it would not take long for him to become an excellent driver and driver.
On this day, Lu Bicheng came to Li Yu's residence and did not find Li Yu, so he found Fengling and asked, "Where is Mr. Li Yu?"
"Big breasts... Ah, Miss Bicheng, you can see them if you wait at the door for a while." Feng Ling pulled her outside the house, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see Li Yu and Zhao Qian driving back in a car.
Zhao Qian was as happy as a monkey, jumping up and down. He wanted to drive around again and said to Li Yu: "Sir, wait for me to turn around!"
"Fuck you!" Fengling slapped her in the face. When Zhao Qian looked up, he saw Lu Bicheng coming. He quickly jumped out of the car, came to the passenger seat and opened the door for Li Yu. He yawned and imitated the actions of foreigners and said, "Sir, please." After Li Yu got out of the car, Zhao Qian He smiled and said, "Sir, how are you?" Li Yule said, "Very good, keep practicing!"
"Got it!" With Li Yu's promise, Zhao Qian pulled Fengling and said, "Get in the car quickly!" Fengling wanted to break away: "I don't want to sit on the iron bumps." Zhao Qian picked her up and put her on the In the car: "What do you know? This is called a ride, it's so exciting!" Feng Ling grabbed the car door: "Can you do it?"
"Is it okay? Men can't say no!" Zhao Qian said proudly,
"You also said that I don't know how to be romantic. Don't delay your husband's date." Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove out amidst Fengling's screams.
Li Yu hoped that he could practice his driving skills well and would not stop him. Then he and Lu Bicheng returned to the house and asked, "What's going on today?" Lu Bicheng said, "Master Yan asked me to tell you that in a few days, students from the Capital University will go to Japan to study. Mr. Zhang Baixi, the Minister of Management and Education, hopes that you will I can also go and see him off." For the university, this is the first government-sponsored study abroad program since the founding of the school, so it naturally takes it very seriously.
Li Yu asked: "As you wish, Principal Zhang will also go?" Lu Bicheng nodded: "Not only Mr. Zhang, but also my master Mr. Yan Fu and Mr. Gu Hongming, as well as Professor Ding Weiliang and others will go to Tianjin Tanggu Port to see him off." Li Yu thought for a moment. "Then I will definitely go." He counted the days and said, "Not only that, I also happen to be going to sea."
"Going to sea again?" Lu Bicheng asked in surprise. Li Yu said: "Yes, go to the United States, see my company, apply for a patent, and see with your own eyes how humans go to heaven."
"God?" Lu Bicheng already knew that Li Yu had a company in the United States and a patent, but
This is the first time I heard the word "God". Li Yu made a flying motion: "A plane can fly into the sky with people." Lu Bicheng opened his eyes wide: "Are you talking in your sleep?"
"What sleep talk!" Li Yu said,
"It's true! Have Wanhu heard of it? We are still Chinese."
"Wanhu?" Lu Bicheng shook his head,
"Have not heard."
"Have you never heard of this? The first person in human spaceflight..." Li Yu suddenly realized that she had really never heard of it. Not only her, but no one in the country knew about Wanhu now.
Although textbooks of later generations have written about tens of thousands of households, unfortunately, there were no records in China at first.
The person and deeds of Wanhu were first recorded and proposed by foreigners. And it was almost until the middle of the 20th century that an American magazine wrote: "About the end of the 15th century, there was a Chinese official named Wan Hu. He put 47 coins on the back of a chair that could be purchased at that time. The largest rocket. He tied himself to the front of the chair and held a large kite in each hand. Then he asked his servants to light 47 large rockets at the same time. The purpose was to use the power of the rockets to propel forward and the kite to rise. The force flies forward." This is the earliest written record.
But American magazines cannot provide it either
The origin of the story of "Ten Thousand Households Flying to the Sky". Later, Professor Liu Xianzhou of Tsinghua University translated the story into Chinese, and the elder Qian Xuesen also told the story of Wanhu to young people in China.
It soon spread widely and was adopted by various countries one after another. There is a crater on the moon, which was named by the International Astronomical Union in the 1970s.
"Wanhu Mountain" to commemorate
"The first person to attempt flight using a rocket." Li Yu then told Lu Bicheng the story of Wanhu.
Lu Bicheng said in disbelief: "Unbelievable! It sounds like the fairy tale I read recently." Li Yu said: "At the time, it seemed like an impossible fairy tale." Lu Bicheng asked again: "If it is true If you can go to the sky, is there really Guanghan Palace and Chang'e on the moon?" Li Yu laughed loudly: "Chang'e can't be there, Zhu Bajie is lying everywhere." Lu Bicheng said, "Don't laugh at Bajie, although he is delicious and lazy. , haven’t you followed him and walked a hundred and eight thousand miles, how many people can do it? Moreover, he also knows how to be charming, maybe he is an infatuated lover.”
"Ah???" The corners of Li Yu's eyes twitched, and he felt like his head was full of black lines. It was really impossible to guess the woman's thoughts. The jump was too big!
Lu Bicheng said quickly: "I'm just talking casually." Li Yu chuckled and said: "Not to mention, your thinking is really advanced, it reminds me of the Legend of Wukong."
"What is The Legend of Wukong? It's obviously the Legend of Shie from Journey to the West." Lu Bicheng said.
"Yes, yes, Journey to the West." Li Yu said. After a while, Lu Bicheng suddenly asked: "Is that girl from the United States also going to the United States?" Li Yu nodded: "The United States is her hometown. It's normal to go back after being away for so long." Lu Bicheng asked again : "Do you still want to take the students with you?"
"Oh, you reminded me!" Li Yu slapped his forehead,
"I almost forgot about this. It's just a good time for them to go out and see how a real factory operates." Lu Bicheng continued to ask: "Is that...that Miss Wei going too?" Li Yu said casually: " Of course, she is the highest ranked among the students." Lu Bicheng grabbed the corner of her clothes: "I...I..." Li Yu felt that she did ask a lot of questions today, and wondered: "What are you?" Lu Bicheng stood She stood up and said, "I still have something to do. I'll go back and tell Master Yan that you agreed." She turned around and walked towards the door in a panic and uneasiness. She happened to meet Zhao Qian helping Fengling through the door.
Li Yu shouted: "I haven't finished talking yet, you have to go too."
"Ah... me?" Lu Bicheng stopped, her voice trembling a little,
"I, is it appropriate for me to go?" Li Yu said with a smile: "Nonsense, of course it is appropriate! This time I have to go to the publishing house. As the co-creator of the Star Wars prequel, you have to meet the publishing house, sign a contract, and make a lot of money together. !”
"There is also this matter..." Lu Bicheng said happily,
"Then I'll go back and pack my things! Last time I went to Europe in a hurry, I have experience this time." Fengling at the door saw Lu Bicheng running out happily with a smile on her face, and said seriously: "I underestimated our master. The master is so... Yue!" She actually started to vomit.
Zhao Qian asked doubtfully: "If you are happy for me, you can't do it in this way, right?"
"How can I not, I...yue!" Before he could finish speaking, he started to vomit again. Zhao Qian's eyebrows were filled with joy: "Could it be possible?"
"I have a grandson for you!" Feng Ling stopped vomiting and said,
"I'm also going to help you develop a new type of pasta! But in short, I don't want to sit on that iron lump anymore!"
