The Rise of Australia

It is no exaggeration to say that the weekly output of 10,000 units is only Arthur's preliminary plan.

Judging from the current per capita income and economic situation in Australasia, people still have a lot of disposable income.

Because the government works hard to balance housing prices and provides various subsidies and exemptions for education and medical expenses, the living expenses and burdens of the people are very low.

Although doing so requires the government to bear a large amount of expenditure, it is also beneficial at the national level. People have more money in their hands for spending, which also stimulates the country's economic growth.

At present, the number of cars in Australasia is not low. On average, every five people own one car, and the total number of cars is more than 7 million, which is enough to prove the people's income and living standards.

Hearing what Arthur said, Baird was serious at first, and then became excited and happy.

No scientist doesn’t like the feeling of being valued for his or her scientific research results, and Baird does the same.

With no shortage of fame and fortune, Baird's biggest hope at present is that the TV sets he develops can sell well all over the world.

According to Arthur's instructions and plans, Baird's expectations will be realized within a few years, which makes Baird very excited and at the same time full of gratitude to Arthur.

If Arthur hadn't valued him, his talents and dreams in television wouldn't have been realized so smoothly.

There are many unappreciated scientists in Europe and the United States, and some even fail to realize their dreams throughout their lives.

Being able to be supported by a person of such high status as Arthur, and to support him to a great extent, gave Baird the feeling that a person who knows his best will die for his own good.

Of course, this kind of death is certainly not possible at the moment. But it also strengthened Baird's resolve. He will spend his life's efforts on the subsequent research and development and improvement of televisions.

Whether it was for his own dreams or to repay Arthur for his kindness, Baird would stick to the road of TV research and development and go a long way.

After personally watching the test of the latest version of the TV, Arthur was in a very good mood.

Whether it is a regular version of the TV or a large-screen version, both TVs can achieve stable reception of radio signals and playback of images, which also means that they have the ability to be put into the market.

The manufacturing cost will not be too high, at least most Australasians can still afford it.

This not only provides people with an additional entertainment in their normal lives, but also provides Arthur with an additional channel for public opinion propaganda, which can be described as a win-win situation.

However, before TV sets are officially sold on the market, the construction of TV programs and channels also needs to be planned in advance.

You know, just having a TV is useless. First of all, you must have some TV programs, including TV series that tell stories, news programs that broadcast news, and various other works.

Then, through radio waves, these TV programs are transmitted to each TV set through various base stations, and these programs are played smoothly.

In the middle, not only the film and television companies that shoot TV series and songs are needed, but also the TV channels that broadcast the programs, that is, those TV stations.

This is a huge commercial market structure that cannot be completed by the royal consortium alone.

Moreover, only with a large amount of capital participation can the market behind TV become larger.

At this point, in addition to relying on the layout of the royal family consortium, they also rely on a large amount of capital at home and abroad to allow them to take the initiative to shoot TV works and establish TV channels.

In fact, it is easy to attract capital to enter the market. Capital's pursuit of profit is an eternal topic.

This feature can also be used to attract domestic and foreign capital to proactively enter the market by demonstrating the huge market potential brought by televisions.

To put it simply, as long as domestic and foreign capital finds that it can make money by investing in the TV market. Then without Arthur having to say much, a large amount of capital will begin to enter the TV market.

vice versa. If the TV market cannot make money, no matter how much Arthur calls for it, capital will not be willing to come in.

So the question is, how to show the huge profits and potential brought by the market behind TV?

The first thing to do is, of course, to show the stability displayed by current TVs.

After all, television is the carrier of the television industry. If TV technology cannot be put into commercialization, then the development of any TV industry will be a castle in the air.

In order to expand the market for televisions and televisions, Arthur decided to hold a TV Expo in Sydney, invite capital from around the world to participate in the expo, and sell televisions to the public on the day of the expo.

In order to attract attention, the TV expo will broadcast programs on that day.

How to choose the program to play? Of course, it is a relatively famous movie in the world at present, and the popularity of the movie itself can also be used as publicity.

After some thought, Arthur decided to play Australasian Dream on the day of the expo.

This film is very special to Australasia and has extraordinary emotions for Australasians and Arthur.

Although it is a free movie, this does not mean that the investment cost of this movie is not high and the production is not excellent.

Quite the opposite. As the first and free movie, this movie is almost irreplaceable in the hearts of the people. It is played for free several times every year, and free movie tickets are even hard to find.

In order to facilitate the arrival of domestic and foreign capital in Sydney, the TV Expo was held more than two months later, in mid-April 1931.

During the preparation time of nearly two and a half months, Baird TV Company must produce a sufficient number of finished TV sets for exhibition, and ensure that the quality of these TV sets is the same as the test products, and that they can receive radio wave signals stably and Play the picture back.

At the same time, the film company will also produce the film Australasian Dream in the form of radio waves, and then test the stability of the radio wave output.

In addition, a relatively stable output platform must be built at the expo site to ensure stable output and reception of radio wave signals.

Only by doing this can the TV Expo two and a half months later be successfully held. Because of this, Arthur attaches great importance to these preparations and orders the companies participating in the event to work conscientiously and conduct careful and proper inspections within these two and a half months.

Whether it was the television industry or the huge market represented by television, it was enough for Arthur to take this expo very seriously.

Of course, I am still very reassured about Baird's achievements in television and Australasia's current leading position in the world.

First of all, in the research of televisions, Australasia has already made fewer detours and is one step ahead.

In the current research and development of televisions, there are two different paths. The principle is actually similar to that of radios. TVs also have two different ideas about mechanical TVs and electronic TVs.

But the problem is that people's demands for televisions are not limited to radios.

What more could you ask for from a radio? In addition to being relatively stable in receiving various sound programs, the sound quality is also clearer.

These requirements can be easily met by any type of radio. Under such circumstances, radios with lower costs must be more popular with the public.

But the TV set is different. In addition to emitting sound, the television can also convey images to the viewer in real time.

This kind of thing that can be seen with the eyes, different presentation methods bring completely different effects to people.

The clarity, smoothness and brightness of the picture are very important and are also important factors that affect the impression the TV brings to the public.

Under these requirements, mechanical televisions are destined to be eliminated, even in a short period of time.

Without Arthur's intervention, not only foreign TV developers, but also Baird, would have initially developed TVs based on mechanical principles.

Mechanical televisions not only have a small screen for displaying images, but also have few directions for improvement. They are also too bulky and inconvenient to transport and move.

But electronic televisions are different. Although the current screen is not very big, it is much larger than the mechanical TV screen.

More importantly, although electronic TVs look very bulky, two people can move the TV, which is something that mechanical TVs simply cannot do.

This is also the real reason why Arthur wants Australasia's television research and development to take fewer detours. While most of the research and development in other countries is focused on mechanical televisions, Australasia has been able to maintain its lead in the television industry for several years.

The TV Expo was left to a few companies, and Arthur did not have time to be responsible for the preparations for this expo.

Moreover, it is not consistent with common sense for the king of this country to personally prepare an event, and it does not match Arthur's status.

Although most matters have been handed over to William to handle, there are still some government affairs that William cannot decide and need to be left to Arthur for decision-making.

At present, Arthur is more concerned about, of course, the situation abroad. In addition to the increasing tension in Europe, the ongoing war in Russia is also the focus of Arthur's attention.

Especially when Arthur decided to obtain imperial jurisprudence by inheriting Russian jurisprudence, the Russian war became very important to Arthur.

In other words, if Nicholas II had won this war, Arthur's legal preparations for establishing an empire might have been in vain.

Of course, this possibility is very slim. Judging from the current situation, the failure of Nicholas II's rule is an inevitable outcome.

But this is not the fault of Nicholas II, but the fault of Tsarist Russia, an empire that has persisted for hundreds of years. It is the result of the accumulation of wrong choices of successive Tsars.

It can only be said that the country is too decadent and is destined to be eliminated in the face of the times. The Romanov family has ruled Russia for hundreds of years, and it is time to return power to the Russian people.

Of course, this does not mean that the rule of another Russia will be stable. First of all, in terms of political system, Europe definitely does not want to see the rise of Russia.

After all, this represents not only a conflict of political systems, but also the rise of a new uncontrollable superpower.

Humans definitely hate uncontrollable factors. Compared with Nicholas II and Tsarist Russia who were able to control it, this country that is unable to control and is full of threats will be feared by other countries for a long time to come.

Especially when this country explodes with sufficient potential, what he will face may be the hostility of all European countries.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that if Russia really shows its potential as it did in history, Arthur and Australasia will also become Russia's enemies.

Profit determines everything. For Arthur, his own interests and the interests of the country are above all else.

Nothing is an eternal friend, nothing is an eternal enemy. If that day comes, in order to eliminate this potential threat, Arthur may form an alliance with any country, including Britain, which has become a potential enemy of Australasia.

Of course, that day is still far away. Australasia has benefited from the economic crisis, which also means that if Russia wants to recover quickly, it will take longer and more manpower and material resources.

Even when World War II breaks out in the future, whether Russia can recover from World War I and the Civil War is still a question.

This is also something Arthur is worried about. Although Germany is now weaker than in history, Germany's enemies are also weaker than in history.

The United States has disappeared, replaced by Australasia, which has a certain gap with the United States.

Australasia's biggest enemy in World War II was the island nation, which also meant that Britain and France had to resist the German attack on the European battlefield.

Looking at the allies of Britain and France, there are almost no countries that can be relied on. Although Britain is somewhat stronger than it has been in history, whether Britain can withstand the German attack through its own efforts is still an unknown that Arthur is more worried about.

But this is indeed an opportunity for the rise of Australasia. The future World War II is destined to be a war between Britain, France and Germany, and other countries can only become a foil.

If Germany can consume most of the strength of Britain and France, Australasia will naturally become the new world hegemon.

At that time, through some exchange of interests, we can exchange for some areas that Arthur is more interested in, such as the Persian Gulf and the Straits Settlements.

After the strength of Britain and France has been greatly reduced, the only country that China poses a threat to Australasia may be Russia, which is still at war.

However, with his long-term study in military technology and research on nuclear weapons, Arthur believed that he would not lose in the battle for hegemony.
