Chapter 134 Magic Radio
After a heavy rain in early April, the clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the sunny and rainy season arrived more than half a month earlier than in previous years.
With the sound of soft music, Bryant dragged his exhausted body into the tavern where he often visited. His haggard face, sunken eye sockets and dark circles frightened the waitress and the drinkers near the door. A jump.
This was his first time drinking here this year. As soon as he sat down, the goatee at the table next to him immediately asked him: "What, are you sick?"
Bryant first weakly said to the waiter The girl said: "Let's have a strong drink and sleep well tonight."
After he finished speaking, he replied to Goatee: "I'm tired. I haven't rested since the New Year."
Goatee asked in surprise: "Why is this? I treat you like a member of the village." "Ami is here to take care of you."
The wine and appetizers were served. Bryant looked around the tavern, and then pointed at the folding rifles, flying saucer-shaped helmets and cans hanging on the wall. A one-minute man's three-piece suit was made up of a vest with steel inserts, and then he took a big sip of distilled liquor.
“So that’s it.” Goatee Beard understood, “It’s really hard on you, are you done now?”
After that, he asked the waiter to bring a pork knuckle to Bryant. On your own account.
"Thank you." Bryant put on thin disposable gloves and picked up his elbow to chew on it. "I'm not done with my work. It's just that the master knows that I haven't rested for so long, so he gave me three days off."
"By the way, where can I buy the radio now? I will bring one back to my home tomorrow."
Goatee shook his head and said: "It's right there in the square, so go queue up now. There's no curfew there. , before the curfew started a few nights ago, I sat here until the door closed before taking the tent with me, and I was the 30th in line."
Bryant smiled proudly and said, "It's okay. , I have a note from the master, no need to queue up, no need to pay, I can go and get it directly, I can save 5 kreuz."
Compared with others, he is the tallest blacksmith in the territory. Come on, sir, this makes the neighbors a little jealous and envious.
But his words immediately aroused the public indignation of other drinkers around him today, and then they complained one by one. Some of them also brought their bedding with them, and some started queuing as soon as the sun came up, and then they had to wait until the afternoon.
After chewing the elbow, Bryant said to the people around him: "Everyone has tried their best. They rented the warehouse of our blacksmith to assemble it there. They were originally packaged beautifully, but now they are still there. If you have time, just put it in a plastic bag, stuff it with instructions, put it on the carriage with a linen pad, and transport it out once it's enough for one cart."
"There are not enough people to assemble it now, even in universities. The students here are not in class anymore and they are brought in to work. The four classes take turns working all day long.” Yes, you can actually queue up.”
A new shelf has been nailed to the wall of the tavern. The square magic radio on it is as big as a microwave. It is currently playing a program. It is music time.
The price of the magic radio is not high. The price that Frederick set for rapid promotion is only less than 20% profit when sold to locals. One set costs 5 Kreuz, and many families with some spare money can afford it. Tavern Of course it's a no brainer.
The main reason why Frederick was able to sell the magic radio so cheaply was because two years of construction and accumulation provided him with cheap materials, mature processing technology, and an immature industrial system.
The main components of the magic radio are an electrical magic array and a wind magic array. The cheapest and sufficient magic metal needs to be made into a magic circuit first, and then all the electrical magic array parts are encapsulated in insulating materials. And in the cheap slime board, the sound-producing wind magic circle needs to be attached to the plastic board on one side, while the other side is exposed to the air at the same time.
The formula of the magic metal comes from Professor Osram's magic lamp factory. They also provide a volume adjuster, which is used for the dimmable magic lamp. The metal sheets are processed into magic circuits directly using the etching process. Springfield Arsenal is familiar with this technology, so they will complete it.
The slime glue used inside and outside the Magic Radio is a mature product. It is exactly the same material as the hangers on the market and is produced directly in the hanger factory.
With the cooperation of many manufacturers in the territory, the total cost of the various materials in the magic radio is not as high as the two magic crystals inside.
Nowadays, these factories are working day and night to produce radios for Weisenling.
Goatee shook his head and said: "He doesn't have to queue up. Bobo came back from vacation a few days ago. Soldiers can buy three units without queuing up. He bought one for his family and helped his boss. One, I heard that I went with a girl from a certain tavern, and I bought one for the girl’s family.”
Bryant was eating the food and drinks, and said while eating: “I heard that now. Bobo is promising, maybe we will call him Master in a few years.”
There were many neighbors around, asking about the situation, but Bryant just shook his head and was unwilling to say more about the army.
Soon after, the sound of "Beep-Beep-Beep" sounded from the radio, 9 times in a row. It was now 9 o'clock in the evening.
After the announcer chimed the hour on the hour, he reminded the audience that there was still one hour before the curfew started. After a burst of advertisements, it was the story time of the Light Church, and after 9:30, there was the evening prayer program.
There were complaints in the tavern, but there was nothing that could be done. Those who had not finished their drinks quickly finished their drinks, paid or recorded their bills, and left one after another.
On the same night, Frederick had moved to the Ministry of Military Affairs building in the military camp, and he sent the royal mages to study the phonograph.
He sat in his office all night and was currently studying the progress of installing high-power magic radios in every village in his territory.
After Heinrich told him his research results while chatting with him, Frederick immediately grabbed the tail of wireless broadcasting, and then made great efforts to create a crude broadcasting system and wireless communication. equipment.
During a war, the lord had to accompany the army. No matter how talented Frederick was in the eyes of the world, given his age, it would be easy for various rumors to appear on the battlefield.
The Wesson family has no other heir. If there is a rumor that he accidentally fell to death while riding a horse, people in the territory will be in chaos.
If Frederick hadn't been too young, the people in the territory would have found several groups of fertile women so that he could have at least one illegitimate child.
Therefore, it was very important to spend money to build a broadcasting system and work with newspapers to stabilize people's hearts with official and authoritative voices during the war, so that there would be no ground for all kinds of rumors to be born.
Nowadays, the magic radios are small ones for towns, and a large speaker is installed in the village.
It’s just that the magic crystal reserves in the territory have dropped a lot, and I don’t know if they can be replenished in time.
At this time, a staff officer came over and reported: "Commander, the scouts ahead have sent back news."
