Chapter 801 Higher, further, stronger (fourth update, please subscribe)
After the coronation ceremony in London, Li Yian and Margaret took a flight from London back to Nanyang. On the way back to Chang'an, on a hilltop more than 30 meters above sea level at the mouth of Taiping Bay, there were also people talking about dreams.
“255 meters!”
Zhu Yihai, standing on the top of the mountain with a design drawing in his hand, said.
“Coupled with the 94-meter antenna mast height, TV signals can travel about 3,000 kilometers, fully covering the entire Southeast Asia,”
Two years ago, the labor company began to invest in TV stations. Although Asia TV is now the largest TV station in Chang'an, Zhu Yihai is not satisfied with this achievement. He has a higher pursuit - the largest TV station in Nanyang and even Asia. TV station.
For this reason, last year he commissioned Chang'an University and relevant companies to study how to spread TV signals throughout Nanyang. After their research, the only way was to build a large TV tower.
Broadcast television signals through tall towers.
As long as the tower is high enough, TVs throughout Nanyang can receive the Asia Television signal.
“Last year, a total of 348,000 TV sets were sold in Nanyang. According to relevant statistics, the number may exceed 1 million units this year. In up to five years, TV sets will be available in all households in Nanyang...”

Staring into the distance, Zhu Yihai said,
"Before this day comes, we will spread our TV signals to the entire Nanyang,"
As his words fell, Xia Shi stood aside Jay said.
"General Manager, this location is indeed good, but at the mouth of Taiping Bay, will the official sell this place to us?"
Xia Shijie, deputy manager of the company, pointed to the surrounding land said.
"I heard that Nanyang Industrial Company is also interested in this place, and they seem to be planning to build a 200-meter-high building here."
Of course Zhu Yihai is very clear about what Xia Shijie mentioned. , an industrial company is also a member of a "company". If it were replaced by an ordinary company, it would only need to throw money at it, but the target is different, and the method will be different.
He said with a smile.
"It's okay. I will go to the official residence regarding the land. As long as I convince you, the matter will basically be settled."
"Manager, Chang'an still needs many skyscrapers to enrich its horizon. ”
What Xia Shijie said is true. As an emerging big city, Nanyang needs some high-rise buildings, especially skyscrapers, to show its modern side to the world.
This is also inevitable for metropolises in all countries.
"Chang'an needs more than just skyscrapers, it also needs sound!"
Zhu Yihai said.
“You need to speak your voice and spread your voice! You know this better than we do.”
That's all, Zhu Yihai put away the renderings in his hand and said.
"Okay, it's decided, Manager Xia, let's start preparing for construction!"
When he said these words, Zhu Yihai's tone was extremely confident, not just because he and Your friendship, and more importantly, he knows what you care about.
“Promote!”
In the study room of the official residence, Zhu Yihai pointed to the renderings on the hanger and said.
"This TV tower can not only cover the entire Southeast Asia, but also cover Hong Kong Island, Bay Island and Ryukyu to the north. After the signal is strengthened through Ryukyu, Kyushu and other places can also receive our TV signals..."
While speaking, he took a deep breath, looked directly at Your Excellency and said.
“By then, the entire Chinese-speaking area will basically be able to receive our TV signals. By then, what they hear is our voice, what they see is our TV, and the impact they will have It’s also ours.”
But when Li Yi’an stared at the TV tower, there was another thing in his mind—the landmark.
Thinking of this, Li Yian asked.
"Yihai, when you mention Chang'an, what do you think of?"
"This..."
Your thoughts are jumping, making Zhu Yihai a little confused,
"What comes to mind?"
What comes to mind?
Zhu Yihai's mind was completely blank, he said tentatively. "Bullet train? Jet passenger plane?"
It seems that it has nothing to do with Chang'an.
“Look, this is Chang’an’s problem!”
Li Yian said, pointing to the rendering of the TV tower.
“When we think of San Francisco, we think of the Golden Gate Bridge, when we think of New York, we think of the Statue of Liberty, when we think of London, we think of Big Ben, when we think of Paris, we think of the Eiffel Tower, and when we think of Moscow, we think of Red Square. Almost every big city has a There is one of their landmark buildings. As soon as you see it, you will think of a city. So which one is the landmark building of Chang'an? "
What should be the landmark building of Chang'an? ?
Things that are well-known may not necessarily require any breakthrough. For example, when you think of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge comes to mind when you mention it. The Golden Gate Bridge has never been the longest span bridge, but Hollywood blockbusters always give one or two shots when they shoot in San Francisco. Intentionally or unintentionally, it has become a symbol of San Francisco and even California.
After asking the question, Li Yian said.
“Chang’an should have a landmark building of its own. In seven years, we will hold the Olympic Games in Chang’an. Foreigners are still relatively unfamiliar with Nanyang and Chang’an. They often don’t know where Chang’an is, so , we need a building with certain characteristics to spread the elements of the "Chang'an" concept to the world..."
After pondering for a moment, Li Yian said.
“It is indeed suitable to play this role.”
Although super high-rise buildings also have excellent landmarks, from an economic point of view, their use efficiency is far less than that of hundreds of meter high tower.
And in terms of cost, a tower several hundred meters high is far lower than a skyscraper. Just like the TV tower in Shanghai, it was built because it needed to enrich the horizon and a landmark. It is a natural building, and compared with skyscrapers, it has low technical difficulty and low cost.
Replacing a building with a tower... is indeed a good choice.
"But..."
Li Yian said, staring at the featureless TV tower in front of him.
"Since it is a landmark building, it must have its own characteristics. This pagoda..."
While shaking his head, Li Yian took out a pen and drew a picture directly on the paper. Sketch, as a well-known cross-border knowledge king, Li Yian still has a little understanding of architecture. Besides, in another world, who has not seen a few of those well-known TV towers.
With just a few simple strokes, a slim waist appeared.
Yes, it is the "Suicheng Tower" in another world. Although there are different opinions about its appearance, the Korean Smida people have given full play to their characteristics - the new landmark planned by Incheon plagiarized the "Suicheng Tower" ".
After sketching its appearance with a few strokes, Li Yian said.
“Since it is going to be built, let’s build the tallest one in the world, well... Its main body of the tower is 454 meters high, the antenna mast is 146 meters high, and the total height is 600 meters.”
“Xiaoman The height of "waist" is definitely the first in the world, and it will be the first in the world in the next few decades.
"600 meters"
Zhu Yihai said in shock.
"This, this is too high!"
"Not only the best, but also the highest, and the strongest..."
Li Yian laughed.
“Since it has been built, of course it must be the best, at least to ensure that no one can surpass it in the next ten years or so,”
But it’s not necessarily true. In ten years’ time, the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow will start construction. At 540 meters, it was once the tallest tower on earth. If the Soviet Union took advantage of their system, they could build a 640-meter tower. Yes, it's not impossible.
But, what does this matter?
Anyway, after the "Chang'an Tower" is completed, it will definitely be the first in the world!
“And the higher the TV tower, the farther the TV signal travels. We must try to let as many people hear our voices and see our programs.”
Then Li Yian said again.
"If possible, we can let the whole world hear our voices, see our programs, and let the whole world know about Nanyang and this land!"
Obviously, in this era, It is definitely impossible to achieve this wish just by relying on TV signal towers. Even if the world's tallest TV signal tower is built in Nanyang, it is impossible to transmit the signal to the whole world. Even this signal tower will also need other TV towers. To strengthen the signal, let alone the whole world.
Unless there are artificial communication satellites!
With it, you can achieve this goal!
I can’t help but look forward to artificial satellites, especially artificial communication satellites. If we can use artificial communication satellites to spread the Olympic Games to the whole world when the Olympic Games are held in Nanyang, wouldn’t it be a great success for the whole world? Have you all seen Nanyang?
