"Dear, do you think His Majesty was the one who invented the television?" Grace asked Wang Mingshan excitedly.
Wang Mingshan rubbed his chin. "I'm just saying. It was probably His Majesty who suggested the idea and the technicians completed it."
"If that's the case, His Majesty Vézé is really a wonderful person." Grace was so excited that she couldn't even tell that she was a marquise.
"When will we have a television at home, mother?" The two kids beside her also joined in, making the car very noisy.
"Stop it," Wang Mingshan said in a helpless tone unique to old people. It was also his first time seeing a television. When he first saw the moving images on the black and white screen, Wang Mingshan thought it was something like a small movie projector. There were such things on the streets. One eye was placed in front of a very small window, and the film was actually very short.
After Vézé's introduction, Wang Mingshan realized that this thing actually transmitted video content using electric signals. Vézé said that this was a product based on electronic tubes. It took him a decade to sharpen his sword, and it wouldn't be long before the city's households could watch television through cable television. Wang Mingshan recalled the excitement he felt when he saw a movie for the first time, the excitement he felt when he listened to the radio for the first time, and the excitement he felt when he heard his own voice on the radio through the phonograph. Now, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to be excited about about a television. If the world itself was treated as an inexplicable dream, all of this would make sense. If he was inexplicably dragged onto the ship of revolution by Shen Xin as the beginning of a nanke dream … then the long and beautiful dream that followed was really not bad.
Wang Mingshan's wild imagination didn't last long. When he was waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, he felt a slight bump from behind. The driver couldn't help but be speechless. He then said, "Secretary Wang, someone is chasing us. I'll go down and take a look. "
Seeing the driver's unhappy expression, Wang Mingshan said, "I'll go down and take a look."
In the car behind, Yue Lin also got out of the driver's seat uneasily. Yue Lin had bought this car during the panic buying craze. Yue Lin then realized that as a staff member of the public transport system, she actually had no talent for driving. Because at the intersection, the traffic police came over and looked at the situation of the two cars. He asked, "I've seen the situation. What are you going to do? Public or private? "
Yue Lin's eldest son also came out with Yue Lin. The teenage boy asked with some dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by public? What do you mean private?"
The traffic policeman looked at the hot-blooded little boy unhappily, and then said to Yue Lin, "If it's official, you can go to the team to do the investigation, and let the investigation have the final say. If you think it's too troublesome and want to settle it privately, from what I saw just now, the responsibility of the car behind you is huge. You just have to pay for the repair fees, and that's about it. "
"Okay, I'll pay you." Yue Lin was sure that she could solve the problem with money, so she agreed. Then he said to Wang Mingshan, "Old comrade, I'm really sorry. But I don't have much money with me. Can you ask for less? "
"Haha!" Wang Mingshan was amused. Just now, he saw that there was only a small dent on the rear bumper, which was not a big deal. Moreover, the female driver looked like she was admitting her mistake, and her words were so funny. Wang Mingshan replied, "No need. I can fix the car myself. Comrade traffic police, if there's nothing else, can we go now? "
Wang Mingshan's car drove away. Yue Lin sat back in the driver's seat again and said nothing all the way. Back to the parking lot downstairs, Yue Lin said to her son, "I think your attitude towards the old man and the police is wrong. First, you put on a 'I'm not afraid of you' attitude, and it has nothing to do with me hitting the rear of the car. Son, don't do anything that will cause unnecessary trouble. "
"I'm worried that you'll be at a disadvantage." Yue Lin's son muttered.
"You want to be a brave person, right?" Yue Lin asked.
"I want to protect you, and I don't want to be at a disadvantage. Then I must be brave. "Yue Lin's son replied with the unique foolishness of a teenager.
Yue Lin was very unhappy, but she said very seriously, "Being brave is to bear the responsibility that you should bear, not to let others accept your reason. Or do you think that the one with the harder fist is right? "
Seeing that his mother was really unhappy, Yue Lin's son lowered his head and muttered, "But now you see, so many people are unreasonable."
Yue Lin said with a straight face, "The crackdown happens once every ten years. It's been ten years since the last crackdown, and the next one is coming soon. You'll see what happens to those guys. Don't be stupid and end up like them. "
"Okay, I got it." Her son admitted defeat in front of her mother.
Back home, Yue Lin talked to her husband Song Bin about the accident. Seeing that Yue Lin was a little relieved, Song Bin couldn't help but laugh, "At least you didn't lose money. It's a good thing."
"I think buying a car is really a big mistake. The car is a burden for me, and the quality of life hasn't improved." Yue Lin sighed.
"I don't think you think so when you pick up the children on a rainy day." Song Bin comforted his wife.
"That's to solve the problem, not to improve the quality of life." Yue Lin sighed.
"If you want to improve the quality of life, you have to spend more money. I remember His Majesty once said that improving the quality of life requires more labor. If you can't provide so much labor, you can only buy it. Oh, that program has been off for three years. I forgot about it. "Song Bin couldn't help sighing in the end.
Hearing her husband mention this topic, Yue Lin suddenly became interested. "Song Bin, do you remember those times when you suddenly had a lot of money? I can remember that before the North American War, when my brother went to North America, it seemed that there was more money suddenly. Then during the North American War, it seemed that there was more money suddenly. But in recent years, it seemed that there was less and less money. But when there was a panic buying trend, I realized that everyone was actually rich. But now I feel that there is less and less money. "
Song Bin thought for a moment and said helplessly, "You have to ask the president of the country this question. It's useless to ask me."
Yue Lin's husband's evasion did not make her unhappy. This kind of thing was indeed not something that could be solved by the technical staff. However, when Yue Lin heard the words "president of the country", she thought of her old classmate Wei Xiu's father, His Majesty Vézé. She had not heard any news about His Majesty for two or three years. At first, Yue Lin did not care, but as time went by, she began to feel some inexplicable nostalgia. A few years ago, the "Weekend Talk with Vézé" program would touch Yue Lin's heart every few days. It was not a complete understanding, but some inexplicable resonance and more confusion. Now, life was passing day by day in confusion and prevarication. Yue Lin also tried to seek answers from colleagues and friends next to her, and then Yue Lin found that she might not be the one who did not have the least needs or the least desire.
Where did His Majesty Vézé go? Yue Lin suddenly felt very curious.
The president of the country, Ziyang, knew very well where His Majesty Vézé had gone. He also knew that after His Majesty Vézé gave up the task of leading the country, a group of units that were forced into a corner by the economic situation took the initiative to seek guidance from Emperor Vézé. His Majesty Vézé was not stingy with his help. He gave a lot of guidance to those units, but did not intervene afterwards.
This news made Ziyang feel very relieved. If His Majesty still led the country as forcefully as before, the president of the country would be a puppet or a CEO. Only when His Majesty Vézé no longer intervened in government affairs could the government be run according to the system of the Republic. Ziyang collected his thoughts and stared at the plan on the table. He calculated in his heart, "Wait another six months. By then, the only one who can stop the plan is probably His Majesty."
Vézé did not know what Ziyang was thinking, and even if he did, he would not care. At this time, wireless television signals had not been developed yet, so he could only use cable. Looking at the coaxial cable sample, Vézé could not help but feel a little excited. Although he did not know how long analog circuits could last in this era, this thing could truly be considered to have opened up a new era, the era of television media.
After explaining the contents of analog and digital circuits to his son, Qi Rui, Vézé gave a thick stack of documents to Qi Rui. Qi Rui took them and began to read them. Most of the documents were design drawings of armored vehicles. Some were wheeled, but most were tracked.
"You have a good idea for armored vehicles. In this era where large-caliber artillery was very abundant, trucks could not break through the enemy's fortified positions. Infantry could break through short distances in mountain and trench warfare, but they could not pursue the enemy over long distances. Therefore, armored vehicles, which combined firepower, defense, and mobility, would inevitably become the main character of the war. Qi Rui, your idea is very good. "Vézé slowly expressed his opinion.
Such a scene reminded Qi Rui of his father Vézé's reaction when he proposed the motorized infantry. He was also full of praise, and just as calm. Then, faced with Qi Rui's vague idea, Vézé took out a whole set of motorized infantry systems. If he had to make an analogy, it would be like Qi Rui spent a few days making a basketball, and in the next five minutes, Vézé created the sport of playing basketball. Therefore, Qi Rui did not say a word and held a small notebook to record.
Vézé waved his hand. "No need to record, I've written my idea in the manuscript. Just listen to it now. No equipment is all-encompassing, and the same goes for armored vehicles. Therefore, I also have an idea for anti-armored warfare weapons. But Qi Rui, I believe you won't fantasize about an all-encompassing weapon just because you have to face such a threat, will you? "Vézé's voice was full of ardent expectations.
Qi Rui straightened his back. "Father, don't worry. My comrades and I have discussed it for a long time, and we finally admit that there are no absolutes in this world. The dead are the ball, and the undead are swaying. For the sake of China, we had to adopt an iron and blood policy. Now that we have everything we have now, the reason for the future war can only be foreign invasion. At that time, we must set foot on the battlefield and sacrifice ourselves for our country. "
Vézé agreed with his son's view. He asked Qi Rui to turn to the second half of a thick stack of manuscripts. "These are the contents of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. These are all my ideas. Your North American theater of operations can start designing now. Perhaps in the next 20 years, it can be installed on a large scale. I believe you can see it. "
At first, Qi Rui was so focused on the equipment that he suddenly understood the meaning of his father's words after a while. He looked up at his white-haired father, Vézé, and felt a lump in his throat. He choked with sobs and could not speak. Vézé's calm attitude in the face of death was very respectable. In a sense, it was better than a hero's twilight. But even if one could live a wise life and remain clear-minded until the day of his death, the night of a hero would eventually come.
Every time he thought of this, Qi Rui felt extremely disappointed. He had always felt that his father, Vézé, could be allowed to transcend human life and death. Even though he knew it was impossible, Qi Rui still felt that it was possible. Because of this, Qi Rui could not accept the possibility of his father, Vézé, passing away.
After learning from his father for three days, Qi Rui felt that he had learned immeasurably. When his father was tired, Qi Rui chose to run back to North America as soon as possible to discuss the matter with his comrades. If everyone could seize the time to practice, they should be able to ask his father, Vézé, a few more times.
Before leaving, he went to see his mother, Qi Hongyi. The mother and son talked, and Qi Rui could not help but talk about his worries about his father, Vézé's health. After listening to his son's words, Qi Hongyi could not help but sigh. "Qi Rui, no matter how filial you are, your father will pass away. So you have to think about yourself. "
"I will seize the time to perfect myself …" Qi Rui said as if to encourage himself.
