Chapter 441 Silent at this time is better than sound

"Dingdang, Dingdang."

In the early morning in Yanjing City, two rows of railway tracks passed in parallel. A four-section-long train was ringing with bells and walked slowly along the track. Several vegetable farmers carrying burdens looked at the "little braids" shining with electric flowers on the head of the car from time to time. It was very strange. They couldn't figure out why the train did not smoke.

As the buzz generated by the capacitor gradually faded away, the vegetable farmers accelerated their pace to the market. Suddenly, a large number of children rushed out of the alley playing and roaring, shaking the red-bottomed golden dragon's flag in their hands, which they didn't know where they came from, as if it was their favorite toy.

The vegetable farmers were shocked. When they saw the shaking national flag, they remembered that today was the National Day once a year. It was a national festival. All schools and factories were closed, so they also thought about going back early after buying vegetables and asking my mother-in-law to give two good dishes.

The speed of the small train is not fast. It rang the bell all the way, reminding pedestrians to be careful, and also telling those who want to take the tram to get ready. In the sound of the bells, you can see people getting in and out of the door from time to time, and even see several foreigners squeezing in the crowd and shaking like everyone.

Due to the slow speed, this kind of small train that has just been put into use will not stop all the way, but travels around the city at a rated speed of about 10 kilometers per hour. Only when passing through remote areas will the speed up.

At the rear of the No. 4 carriage, several big men in ordinary gray-blue worker uniforms huffed in a pile, but if you look closely, you will find that their eyes have hardly stopped spling around. Whether they sit or stand, they seem to inadvertently protect the two people in the corner.

Du Dazhuang went out by himself and put one hand in his arms. At this moment, he was squeezed in the tram of so many people, and his nervous palms were sweating. Li Mo smiled when he saw this: "Come on, look at your nervousness. How can there be so many people recognize me?"

That's what I said, but Du Dazhuang didn't dare to relax too much. Now it's not as before. Those who hold knives and swords can also be blocked with their bodies, but after going to the battlefield, it was clear that the effect of shooting down others to help block bullets is not great, and bullets are easy to drill the human body to cover people.

So several recent guards are wearing a thick steel vest in the front and back, because only in that way can they really block the bullets, but walking all the way with the steel plate on their backs, even if it's almost winter, it's a little sultry.

Li Mo sighed in his heart that as long as he did not leave here for a day, the guards would not really relax. This was their duty, so they were not persuading.

In the ringtone, a large group of girls in short skirts and holding books rushed up, chirped like a group of larks. Free education is open to all school-age children, so there are many special women's colleges all over the country. Liang Qichao, the minister of education, now can't even go home for a year, with his hands. The inspection work from south to north solves the problems such as teachers and funds on the spot. In this selfless spirit, the speed of popularization of education is indeed rapid, and even he is surprised. Not only are there dozens of girls' schools in the country now, but also technical schools and vocational schools are everywhere, which greatly alleviates the shortage of skilled workers. The problem.

Thought will really change with the quiet changes around you. How many years have passed since the unification of the whole country? But with the opening of China's first small electrified railway under the buttocks, people soon got used to this kind of tram that shuttles around the city every day with tinkling sound. From the initial crowd to the present, they are calmly using it as a means of transportation.

Strictly speaking, this is the second electrified railway in the world. It was completed two months earlier than Long Island in the United States later than London. However, as a traveler and an advocate of electrification, although trams have appeared in the United States and the United Kingdom, the number is far less than that of Xinhua. In addition to Yanjing, more than a dozen municipalities directly under the Central Government and The provincial capital cities have been opened to traffic one after another, especially in Yanjing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The second or even the third is already under construction. The most important thing is that this set of tram systems and locomotives are all designed and built by Xinhua itself.

Tram is the best supplement to the city's free transportation system, which provides a good technical reserve for the development of the urban underground transportation system in the future, so Li Mo just told him not to overheat, so he asked Li Enfu and the Ministry of Construction to do it by himself.

In addition to trams, the scenery and houses on both sides have not changed much. In addition to the factors to completely preserve the scenery of the old Yanjing City, it is mainly because the state funds are all concentrated on infrastructure and heavy industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, which is similar to the construction of high-rise buildings that are popular in the United States. It's private capital, so we can only wait.

In terms of national fiscal revenue, Xinhua currently ranks fifth in the world, surpassing Italy for the first time, but it is on everyone, not to mention Europe. Many countries in South America are stronger than themselves, so they can only concentrate limited funds on important industries such as infrastructure. Only when the private economy rises in a few more years can the national revenue There can be a surge.

Although houses have not changed much, there are many more bicycles and cars on the street. In the era when the per capita income was still very low, Li Mo never thought of replacing the United States as the world's largest automobile country, but the world's second Xinhua after the United States can be guaranteed. After all, there is still some foundation for Manqing to stay in the Qing Dynasty. In Xinhua, the construction cost of three major state-owned automobile factories and ten private automobile factories has begun to decline significantly. The most basic car of about 80 blue coins can still be consumed by many people.

According to statistics, as of the first half of the year, after American businessmen have purchased Xinhua's engine patents, dozens of car factories have emerged in seven years, and 300,000 cars of all kinds have been manufactured. Xinhua has produced the first civil car from Taipei Automobile Factory ten years ago. Using the assembly line, the whole country has also produced a total of With the production of 200,000 civil cars and small trucks, it has become a major automobile manufacturing country second only to the United States. Not long ago, it successfully installed the third-speed gearbox technology on the car, making driving more comfortable.

The rapid development of cars has driven the strong demand for spare parts and roads. Gas stations have also appeared one after another. Some private individuals also participated for the first time. They bought gasoline from refineries and then shipped them all over the country for sale, forming the earliest group of oil merchants. For them, shipyards and automobile factories also set up special Although the small oil tankers and tankers that can sail in the inland river are still very simple and small in scale, with more and more cars, in another ten or eight years, some of them will be able to rise gradually.

This is the benefit of the market economy. When an industry gradually grows, it can drive a large number of additional industries. Fierce competition leads to the survival of the fittest. Finally, when you stand out from the cruel market competition, you can truly participate in the pace of competing for the world.

While thinking about how to dig something out of the development of the national economy driven by cars in later generations, Du Dazhuang suddenly pushed Li Mo and said, "Young master, we are here."

"Oh? So fast." Li Mo jumped out of the tram under the protection of several plainclothes guards and found that there was already a sea of people in front of the largest theater in Yanjing City not far away. In order to strengthen the projection effect, the owner of the theater deliberately pulled a thick layer of black cloth on it to make the garden look darker.

"I said, Mr. Dong, why did you make it black?"

"Ha ha, money shopkeeper, it's not that this thing can't transmit light, otherwise you can't see it clearly, or you think I will be like a mourning."

"Bah, Lao Dong, today is the National Day and the festival. If you let it go ten years ago, it would be a great crime."

"Haha, that's what I said. Let's make a metaphor." Manager Dong quickly waved his hand: "Besides, today's emperor is the lord of the people through the ages. How can he take a crime for me by pulling a black curtain and releasing a movie?"

"That's true, hehe, this day is much better than ten years ago. Damn, it's exciting to walk."

"Mr. Dong, let me ask you something. They all said that they could see the emperor in what it was called today? Is it true?!"

"It's called a movie, which was invented by foreigners, but we can make it now! As for whether you can see the emperor, hehe, you are all people who have seen the emperor's photos in the newspaper. Mr. Ji, you have seen the emperor in the Chamber of Commerce. Just look for it by yourself later. Manager Dong played a riddle and said in a low voice, "I just want to say one word. I will keep what you put today. After watching it, you will never forget it in your life."

The last sentence immediately aroused everyone's interest and squeezed inward one after another. There were only a few electric lights in the dark lobby. Although this theater can accommodate hundreds of people at a time, because it was free and a new thing that only appeared in a year or two, too many people poured in. In the end, the shopkeeper Dong had to I asked a few patrolmen to help me and took the guys to tell everyone.

"Ha ha, this shopkeeper Dong can make a lot of money in the past few days." Li Mo bought a few bags of melon seeds from the clerk and handed them to Da Zhuang and the bodyguard. Because of the black light, the probability of being recognized was much smaller, so he took it easy.

A moment later, several electric lights went out, and the yard suddenly darkened. Before everyone could understand, a beam of light suddenly lit up on the second floor behind, which was projected on the white cloth hanging high on the front. The exquisite shopkeeper Dong immediately went up and shouted, "Guys, put this today. It's not a fake drama. It's about our Xinhua Navy and the Russian Lao Maozi's war in the Nanyang not long ago. Old and young masters should pay attention to it carefully. I'm afraid it's only once in this life!"

Manager Dong's words suddenly made the whole audience buzzing. Everyone didn't expect that what they saw this time was no longer the previous pear landscape, but the real war scene!

Now everyone closed their mouths and their eyes widened for fear of missing it.

The picture is slowly pulled away.

The majestic warships began to assemble, and the warships behind the figures running back and forth on the deck were larger. The ferocious barrel began to rotate, and several destroyers accompanied them. When they saw a close-up picture of a shell thicker than an arm being stuffed into the gun barrel, everyone's heart was pulled up.

Suddenly, the camera turned around, and a large amount of black smoke suddenly appeared in the sky. Several sailors who were facing the camera were suddenly nervous. After pointing and shouting, they quickly got into the huge turret, and then the black muzzle near was aimed at the direction of the black smoke.

At this time, the picture trembled, as if someone was running. Although there was no sound in the picture, everyone seemed to hear a rapid heartbeat and heavy gasp.

When an observation window appeared in front of the picture and stabilized again, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the picture turned again, and several officers appeared on the screen, and then a figure suddenly ignited the silence in the theater.

"Your Majesty! Look, it's the emperor!"

"God, it's really the emperor!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that the emperor went to the imperial expedition. How dangerous it is!"

"

Seeing Emperor Li and Chen Ping standing on the deck and giving guidance, some people who had seen Li Mo in various activities or had seen photos in the newspaper shouted one after another. The warm shouts made more and more people outside gather, and they all of them wanted to rush in immediately to understand.

The film was edited by a young naval non-commissioned officer. Although Li Mo arranged four camera positions on each warship for the sake of preserving history in order to preserve the panorama, he was able to edit the essence of the naval battle for an hour from so many negatives and interspersed with his own pictures, which can only be described as genius.

When the destroyers rushed into the distance like a hound, when the giant ships in the picture began to turn, the garden was quiet again.

When Russia's huge fleet appeared in the distance like a string of black spots, when the first column of water rose from not far from the warship, the atmosphere suddenly reached the most **. There was no sound, no cheers, only a clenched fist. For ordinary people, being able to watch a real naval battle like this is long beyond thinking. .

The black and white picture can't render all the scenes, but the huge gray mass of gunpowder smoke exploded from the muzzle undoubtedly told everyone how fierce the war was.

When a huge cloud of smoke rose on the Russian [***] Prince, and then sank diagonally into the bottom of the water, a violent cheer finally broke out in the suppressed garden.

The picture is silent, but the heart is beating with every time it flickers. When the distance begins to close and turns to the scene inside the warship, everyone's eyes seem to burst.

A mass of smoke surged from the deck. In the picture, several soldiers were thrown up like dolls and smashed on a thick steel plate.

A broken steel plate penetrated the observation window like lightning, making the picture dark.

A thing like a whip that no one could understand swept across the deck. Several soldiers who were firing at the enemy with 76mm guns on the deck were caught off guard and their bodies were cut off.

The smoke, the hurried footsteps, the open mouth, and the chaotic scene made everyone's hearts hang to their throats.

When the picture finally lit up again, everyone found that it was two Russian [***] ships attacking it this time. When the picture and the warship rushed back to the middle again, the picture just now appeared again.

No one knows how long it took. They only knew that it was too long. It was not until they could see the clear Russian [***] ship slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea that everyone was really relieved.

Suddenly, the picture seemed to pause. The player on the second floor hooked the corners of his mouth and put a film engraved with a few words in front of the camera. After projecting it on the screen, a line of words appeared.

"Fengtian fought one against two, killed 48 people and injured 27 others, and sank the two 10,000-ton warships sold to Russia by Ecuador!"

"Bang!" When the subtitles appeared, a few crisp claps came from all the tables. After the subtitles paused for a whole minute in the crowd's scolding, the broadcaster pulled out the temporary film, turned the machine again, and the screen flowed again.

Looking at the crowd excited, the navy, and stimulated by the fierce battle, Li Mo smiled. There were no difficulties in education and patriotic propaganda. Even in the era of low cultural level, nothing is more encouraging than these pictures. If you can learn the subtitles just now, stop a few more. Next, insert the film with subtitles to explain that the effect will never be worse than the blockbuster with personal heroism in later Hollywood, because the eyes of ordinary people in Xinhua at this time are already very shocking!

This is the original surname of human beings, because everyone who has a surname will be particularly impressed by what they see for the first time. Although the movie has no sound and no color at this time, he believes that when a thousand copies spread to the whole country, not only he, but also some things will soon take root in the hearts of the people.

This will be a silent baptism
