Cosma Empire

When the TV set came out two years ago, the inventor of the TV set considered using a line similar to a telephone line to lay a network, but in the end the idea failed. The transmission and transmission of TV signals is not as simple as a telephone. It only needs electric pulses to generate sound waves to restore the sound. The TV needs more than just sound, but also pictures, constantly changing pictures.

In the end, this plan was replaced by tape. Buying this kind of TV with the integrated player became the only choice for the merchant. For the business, it doesn’t matter what you choose. You can make money. It is not conservative. It is estimated that the official name is why the player has sold 170,000 units in the entire western region. What concept is this?

Three thousand pieces, 170,000 units, almost 50 million in sales, is enough to build a huge consortium out of thin air. Of course, this money can’t be counted as well. The difference between gross profit and net profit is very large, sometimes as many as several times. But how to say it again, a net profit of one hundred million is definitely not less.

The merchant seems to smell more money from it, as some far-sighted people have guessed, one day TV will enter thousands of households and become popular like shoe cabinets, closets, dining tables and the like. Must be one of the “furniture”. This will be a market that feels terrifying. Many capital predators have also poured into this market and started the battle for interests.

They don’t seem to realize that when the commodity end market tends to overflow, providing services is the real big deal in the future!

They can sell a million machines, and there will be a million users waiting for wired access!

Durin’s next research project for Stein is the first in terms of fidelity and decoding during wired signal transmission. Once these two troublesome problems can be solved, with a technological monopoly, Durin will monopolize this market for at least a decade. Patent barriers and technical faults will be fatal injuries for catchers. They have to invest heavily to make up for the technical gap between the two sides, and then invest ten times or even a hundred times to bypass Durin’s patent barriers.

When they can circumvent, this market has almost changed from profiteering to small profits.

The development of cable access does not mean that the tape market will be abandoned. In fact, the profit of the tape market is still a huge gold mine that is bottomless. Durin vaguely remembers that in the dream, Daxie and some people talked about the topic of film and television. In the place called America, the income of the production company comes from the wonderful CD and the surrounding, so the tape industry will never fall. If you can’t make money, it’s not a problem in the industry, it’s a question of ability and ability.

In the next few days, the head of Joint Construction Engineering found Durin, hoping that he would be able to visit the blast on the “right wall” mountain. The right wall mountain is the mountain range to the east of Otis city. The mountain is not high. The highest place is seven more than a hundred meters. The shorter place is two three hundred meters. The north and south are walking longitudinally. The width is about four more than a hundred. Meter to five hundred meters or so.

After more than two months of careful measurement and research, Joint Construction Engineering finally chose to open a hole in a stable mountain structure, and then fixed the cliffs on both sides, directly through the mountain range of the right wall.

Initially, Durin had an idea of ​​drilling a hole and making a tunnel. After studying at Joint Construction Engineering, he dismissed Durin’s idea. Because of the technical and construction reasons, opening a mountain cave is not infeasible, but it takes more money and time. It is not as simple as opening a mountain.

Durin considered this and agreed to the request. He also invited the more prestigious investors in Otis to visit the first round of blasting, and let them feel the determination and attitude of the City Hall in order to connect things!

“When can I get through? Compared to your scenes, I hope that you can focus on the project!” Durin walked and talked to the people at Joint Construction Engineering, but he sounded tougher.

The head of Joint Construction Engineering is not annoyed, but the constant nodded is to meet the response of Durin. “It takes about three months for the whole mountain to develop. We will build a railway while cutting the mountain. We have to say that the empire The construction machinery is very easy to use, at least more useful than Confederation! So this can greatly save our costs and reduce working hours. After up to six months, you can see two unobstructed railroads appearing on the map. on.”

The construction machinery of the empire is a transformation of the AT-1 weapon-equipped platform. These weapons-equipped platforms have been horrific war weapons in the past. They can carry several cannons, and can also directly install a ringing fortress on top to form a flowing defense line. A weapon-mounted platform with an added engineering robotic arm interface can handle many things that humans can’t do every day. It’s only a matter of time before a mountain is built.

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

“Is it explosive?” Durin recognized the fire and the more intense smoke than steam.

Gunpowder is not non-existent, but it has been lost to twins in many ways, so the field used now is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to see the silhouette of gunpowder. But this does not mean that the gunpowder has no use. The explosive expansion rate of the gunpowder in the sealed space exceeds the speed of the reaction of the twins, and the force is greater, and it is mostly used in large-scale projects.

The person in charge is nodded, “Yes, we have considered the use of twin crystal blasting tubes. Later, the chief engineer rejected this idea, on the one hand because of the cost problem, and on the other hand, to avoid the danger of unsustainable blasting.”

The twinning blasting cylinder is to process the twinning into a small powder, then increase the concentration of the catalyst, and the two sides are mixed together instantaneously to realize the explosion phenomenon caused by the sudden increase of the pressure inside the container. However, this kind of thing sometimes happens a little accident, for example, the pressure is enough, but there is no explosion. Instead, the blasting tube is squeezed out from the firm rock mass like a shot, causing casualties of people in the distance.

The main reason for this is that the reaction speed is slower than that of gunpowder. The only thing that can be found in the rock mass is the one-stop situation. No matter from the breakthrough, it will eventually change. Into a huge trouble. It is not flying out to injure the construction workers, it is an unstable bomb that is full of great pressure and requires special machines and equipment to be dismantled, resulting in the extension of the project.

Finally, gunpowder was chosen. Although the price of gunpowder was slightly higher, the reliability was greatly increased. The person in charge was a bit surprised. He didn’t think Durin knew about gunpowder.

At the end of the first round of blasting, people in the distance suddenly felt a constant vibration coming from the foot, and more parts of the mountain began to tilt, move, and collapse. With a loud bang, a huge stone rolled down the mountain, like a hammer hammering in the chest of people!

After a moment of silence, immediately applauded, a construction machine was launched, and the right-hand mountain range began to officially begin!

“Let people get some clenched graves, bandaged with ribbons, and give each VIP to the audience!” Durin ordered, and Dove immediately took her two small followers to start the operation. thing. Originally Dove proposed to let that Alice be a spokesperson, but Durin refused, because Alice has a bigger role and should never be used in this small place.

She is still in the cell. After all, she is suspected of planning and participating in a murder of the mayor. Before she can explain why she knows the assassination plan and process, and still take photos for the purpose of commemoration, she is not Can be released and released.

The project on the right wall once again shocked some merchants in Namelins. The advantage of Otis City became more and more obvious. The short board was once filled with great efforts by Durin. After the east-west direction, I am afraid the city will be real. The complete take-off. I am not going to Otis City to seek a place now, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future.

The constant move of a businessman to take his family from Namelins to Otis, has made the new mayor of Namelins look depressed. He has tried his best, except for the elderly who are sitting in wheelchairs and selling fruits next to the station. Even if they die, they will not go outside the city of Otis. Most businessmen have shaken.

What is more tragic is that he has no way to do this. The glory of Namelins has been taken away. 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 Namelins’s former mayor, Todd, was offended by Durin and wanted to discuss the issue of resource allocation with Durin and was killed by Durin.

Even more terrifying is that Durin has not done anything after killing Todd. Even the official has taken the initiative to help him wipe his butt. This makes many people wonder what Durin has, or what foundation he has. The empire’s center must favor him.

In this way, I saw that I had to stay in Namelin for four years, and then the young mayor who was evaluated as inaction was sitting in the office with a frown. Suddenly the ringing of the phone made him startle, and he was a little confused. When I picked up the phone, there was a young and strange voice in the receiver. “Hello, I am Durin!”

“First of all, congratulations on your promotion. In addition, I have some things. I hope you can come to Otis City. We need to talk!”
