Chapter 207 Engineer
According to previous years' experience, even if the performance of the New Year's Gala in Miner City is so exciting every year, it will be gradually forgotten as time goes by. Miner City is one of the most populous cities on the mainland, and it is also the location of the commercial center and the space gate hub. The tourists who come here every day have a flow of millions of people. Even if they have a beautiful appearance, they are still dazzling geniuses. After many novelties quickly spread across the mainland through this place, they lose their sense of mystery.
However, this spring, a short drama "The War of Light" that appeared at the party became the hottest topic, and the popularity has not subsided, and it is also a trend of getting stronger and stronger. Now, not only are the citizens who watched the performances on the spot, but it also attracted countless tourists from all over the country to stop and watch. In fact, the live performances were only magic curtain technology, but the subsequent tool called "Sound and Light" could bring the subsequent plots that continued to be staged in "The War of Light" to everyone through special devices.
Although it sounds like underground lines are required and a signal transmitting device is required to be installed on the floating spell tower, which costs money like flowing water, the terminals called "radio" and "ratings" that many families accept, called "radio" and "viewer" are directly captured by the residents of the city. Because through these two devices, you can receive the sounds and images of "radio station" and "audio and video station". The magic curtain technology that once stood high has entered ordinary people and can also be played most of the day, especially on relatively boring nights. These two things are definitely the best companion to relieve loneliness and increase your experience.
Yang wants to promote "Sound and Light" but one person cannot do it. Naturally, he needs help from his partners. In addition to Wu Nai willing to find friends to sell to other places in the mainland, Kirk also chose the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce and the Alchemy Association to join. But Yang still feels that it is not enough. The "Sound and Light" plan sounds simple and has a huge role in promoting social change. However, they have to wait until the network is completed before they can make a profit. The initial preliminary construction will be in a loss state for a long time. The earth is built as a public welfare undertaking, and Yang's plan here is to create some commercial gimmicks, draw a beautiful business blueprint, and attract more people to invest.
In order to industrialize his technology as soon as possible, Yang chose the powerful Dandelion Chamber of Commerce in terms of financial resources. The two sides have always cooperated happily. The Dandelion Chamber of Commerce also mastered the magic curtain technology, which has solved the video recording problem. Yang's plan can allow the Chamber of Commerce to gain a larger market share. Compared with the magic curtain drama that only middle-class audiences can see, the "Sound and Light" has a wider audience. Regarding the early investment issues raised by Yang, the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce finally showed the skills of the big chamber of commerce. They deliberately created an atmosphere and first used the "Sound and Light" viewing effect to promote various benefits, making people feel that this matter has great potential.
Just after the New Year, the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce applied for the "Sound and Light" technology and the patent for the design of various device. Now, less than two months have passed, many civilians have received radios distributed by the Chamber of Commerce for free, listening to songs, news and radio dramas, and soon became loyal fans of the new technology.
Almost every family in the noble family of the city of Miner has ratings. The "ratings" located in the city lord's mansion, the headquarters of the Miner School Alchemy Association and the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce as specialized technical displays are even more crowded with viewers. It is similar to the magic curtain. The picture is much smaller but the bright colors are constantly playing advertisements and singing and dancing shows carefully produced by major merchants. Of course, the most popular is Ultraman's "Giant War" series, which is Ultraman fighting a small monster, which has become the hottest topic in the city.
Now the performance major of Miner School is preparing to open a "Serial Drama Performance" course, and the value of the drama club has increased sharply. Many wealthy families want to invite them to perform the theatrical version of "The Battle of the Light Giant". At this time, the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce has set up a monopoly momentum and raises the asking price in all aspects, which seems to be trying to monopolize the market and monopolize profits.
As the saying goes, "What you can't get is always the most precious." The business alliance is composed of a group of merchants, and everyone thinks that the opportunity is rare. This "hunger marketing" method has made other merchants very moved. The flexible merchants have come to the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce to lobby, believing that this business has a bright future and cannot be taken over by the chamber of commerce. Moreover, it seems that this business has invested a lot in the early stage, and everyone can join hands to help the chamber of commerce reduce some risks, right?
The Dandelion Chamber of Commerce pretended to make a vow, while other businesses continued to be willing to the senior management of the Business Alliance, saying that they could not let the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce eat alone. Finally, the Chamber of Commerce agreed to establish a joint-stock company called "Sound and Light Thousand Miles" in a reluctant manner, and operated according to the stocks of listed companies that had appeared at this time. The stocks that were only sold were snatched away. With the active enthusiasm of shareholders of all sizes, it has proposed that the grand plan of popularizing "Sound and Light Thousand Miles" in major cities within the Business Alliance this year and will promote it to the mainland next year.
Now "Sound and Light" has become a hot topic on the mainland, and it has also made the Alchemy Association, which has been suppressed by the shadow of the Magician Association for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief. "Sound and Light" is not simply to pass on the audio and video to the distance. The various specific knowledge involved is vast. Yang specially found Lorento, vice president of the Alchemy Association, and handed over all the basic principles and materials about "Sound and Light" to the association, and handed over the future patent income, expressing that this is thanking the Alchemy Association for his gratitude for his cultivation and support, which moved the senior management of the Alchemy Association and felt that investing in him was too cost-effective.
Yang also wanted to transform the Alchemy Association and divide the work within it to form two systems: "scientists" and "engineers". He felt that he only needed to propose the most basic technical theories and experiments prove feasibility, and even the "radio" and "ratings" model were made. As for how to industrialize and reduce costs, it will naturally be implemented by more professional talents.
To integrate Earth science and technology with the Nine Realms spells, the most suitable thing is alchemy. If you want to improve the strength of the Alchemy Association and revitalize the strength of the Alchemy Association, he suggested to the association that you can consider establishing the position of "engineer". He believes that the division of internal professions and realms of alchemy in the past was basically referring to other magic sects that mainly use magicians. He wanted to refer to the Earth science system and let alchemy form his own system.
Nowadays, most alchemists are actually equivalent to earth scientists, working hard to explore the world and discover basic laws. However, in order to verify the accuracy of the laws, they also need to personally create tools to test according to the laws. Yang considers allowing alchemist apprentices and low-level alchemists who lack genius thinking to undertake the next step of their work and make them "engineers".
The engineer he envisioned should be someone who follows the established principles of the discovered world and uses alchemy to solve specific technical problems. That is, "Scientists ask why, what is the use of engineers asking?" Scientists study things, and engineers build things.
Let scientists explore the world to discover universal laws, but engineers use universal laws to design actual objects. Separating the functions of the two will be of great benefit to restore the alchemy energy and reproduce the situation in which alchemy benefited the people.
Although the Alchemy Association will also award honors to those who make top alchemy items, such as Yang's title of "Master" and "Divine Hand" and "Tiangong" on it, it is rare and few people can obtain it. "Engineer" is much easier, and can even absorb ordinary people with skillful hands but without magical power. It will be much easier to enter the Alchemy Association's door.
Lorento deeply agreed with this. Under his promotion, the Alchemy Association passed the resolution to establish the "Engineer" career with high efficiency and officially registered it in the professional union. Many ordinary skilled craftsmen can also become professionals. Now Yang uses the concept of earth technology to create many daily necessities. He only needs to take the lead and propose theories, and no longer spend energy and time to realize it one by one. Naturally, many "engineers" take over the next work, which has reduced his burden a lot.
He began his next research project, and now he was in a laboratory of the Alchemy Society in the Black Tornado building, conducting another experiment he thought was enough to change the world. He and a group of engineers carefully checked a machine with a sparkling steel luster, began to record data, and prepare for a new experiment immediately.
"This is the fiftieth test. Mr. Yang, are you really sure that our steam balloon machine can operate normally?" An engineer in his thirties looked sweaty, with both frustration and many hope in his eyes. Yang, who had a serious face, carefully reviewed the inspection results and raised his head to answer.
"Teacher Moodic, no matter how you say it, you are my teacher, so don't use the respect of Mr. Husband. Everyone gathers here because they believe that our theory is correct. It doesn't matter. Failure is the mother of success. Besides, the previous experiments have not proved the advantages and reasons for failure of several other designs. Summarizing the lessons can make us closer to success, right?"
After hearing the sentence "Failure is the mother of success", an engineer named Mudici shone with his eyes and thought that he is worthy of being the youngest craftsman in the association. He heard that the title of engineer he now proposed to be established. As expected, in addition to being a genius like a monster, his mentality is also very positive!
