Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Being strong is the king ’s way, giving the enemy a black hand is only a temporary measure. If Bulgaria is not strong enough, even if the British Empire is declining, it will not be their turn.

After I gave a fire to the British, Ferdinand once again put his mind back and put his focus into the country.

The electrification revolution broke out in the last century. The first countries that broke out of the electrification industry revolution were Germany, the United States, and Bulgaria, these emerging countries.

Over time, Bulgaria has now been “pioneered” as the vanguard of the electrification revolution, rivals Germany and the United States have stepped down, and established empires such as Britain and France have become very conservative in new technological innovation.

I can make money by lying down, why should I get up and work hard?

You must know that investment in technological innovation is also risky. History is cruel. It only records the winners, but does not mention more losers.

From the data collected by the government, after the 20th century, more than 95% of the companies in Bulgaria that are innovating in the industry have fallen halfway.

Either the way is wrong, abandoned by the times, or the funds are insufficient, and the enterprise is finished without waiting for the victory.

In the past 20 years, the survival rate of these companies has been less than 3%, and the average life of innovative companies is less than three years. Bankruptcy is common!

On the contrary, the average survival rate of ordinary enterprises that have been and have not been pursued is as high as 92%. The average life expectancy of enterprises is more than 30 years. As long as they do not go wrong, they can basically survive.

It is not surprising that old imperial capitalists such as Ying Yingfa and others are not enthusiastic about investing in technological innovation. If these companies in emerging countries have the same conditions and are supported by a vast colonial market, it is estimated that no one will take risks.

However, the companies that have succeeded in technological innovation have basically achieved great development. Many companies have become unicorns in the industry!

At the beginning of his succession, Ferdinand did not engage in technological innovation, but instead learned the experience of Germans and Americans and started a cottage business.

Over time, all this changed after the end of the World War, and Bulgarian companies must face choices.

Either follow the mixed days and earn some fortunate money. The risks are not high but the profits are not high. The Bulgarian colonies do not have such a large market.

Either switch to the innovative line, increase investment in scientific research, and use technological innovation to achieve high profits.

The previous road has no future, and it has been proven that it will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

The next way, it is not easy to go, Ferdinand himself has personally experienced, investing in scientific research and technological innovation projects, 80% to 90% of the project investment? They all drifted.

The remaining 10% of the projects that have achieved results can be converted into economic benefits in a short period of time, and less than 10%. In fact, the success rate of 1% is not enough!

From 1918 to 1922, in the four years, he invested 2.5 billion levs in the scientific research field. In fact, the economic value generated was barely enough to 2 billion levs. This investment lost more than 500 million levs.

Of course, in the long run, these failed projects are not worthless. At least a bunch of patented technologies have been added. It is just because of various factors that they cannot be converted into substantial industrial products.

This is also the reason why after the First World War, the technological innovation of the world's science and technology gradually shifted from Europe to the United States.

Subject to the market and funds, apart from consortia, ordinary European companies have been unable to support this high amount of capital investment.

After all, in the field of scientific research, investment and harvest will never be directly proportional. If you are unlucky, no matter how much capital you invest, it is possible to lose money!

"Your Majesty, wireless broadcasting technology has made a breakthrough!"

The person who came is James, the head of the Royal Bulgarian Academy of Scientific Research, and the Bulgarian Minister of Agriculture and Cabinet. Because of his interest, he switched to scientific research.

The earliest broadcasting technology was invented by American Nathan Stoopfield in 1902.

On December 24, 1906, around 8 pm on Christmas Eve, Professor Fessendon of the University of Pittsburgh successfully broadcasted through the 128-meter-high radio tower of the National Electrical Corporation of Bronte Rock, Massachusetts. Humanity has entered the era of broadcasting.

But subject to the power of the transmitter, the coverage area that can be performed is limited, and the anti-interference ability is extremely poor, it is very difficult to carry out long-distance propagation.

Therefore, the original broadcast transmission capability was not much stronger than the speaker. The earliest transmitter coverage was less than one kilometer, and the coverage area of ​​the broadcast was not large until the world war. A transmitter was able to cover ten kilometers. At the highest level, it is not yet possible to cover the whole country.

Jeff Ferdinand has always attached great importance to the development of broadcasting technology. As soon as the World War ended, he invested 50 million levs. In the research of broadcasting transmission, he has now finally achieved leapfrog development.

"Oh, you have solved the communication problem?" Ferdinand asked in surprise

"Yes, Your Majesty! We found in our experiments that if we set up a base station halfway, we can amplify the signal frequency that has already decayed.

After testing, we found that the signal transmitted in Sofia can be transferred to Jerusalem through the base station all the way, but only a little time delayed, the farther away the received signal quality is worse.

The anti-jamming ability needs to be improved. When encountering special weather, it cannot be transmitted at a long distance. At the same time, it will be interfered by the magnetic field and affect the propagation! "James explained

Jeffrey Dinan showed a happy smile, which can solve the problem of long-distance propagation, which is very good. As for the problem of poor signal and poor anti-interference ability, he has automatically ignored it.

It is already very good to reach this level. Is it impossible to reach the 21st century level in the early 20th century?

"What about the construction cost of the base station?" Ferdinand asked with concern.

Although laboratories and industrial production are not the same, the cost can be estimated in general.

"A base station is roughly 10,000 levs, with a radius of 10 kilometers. A base station needs to be established. The plain area can be as large as 20 kilometers. The mountain area depends on the specific conditions. The test has not been completed in special climate conditions, and it is still uncertain. Think about it

Jeff Ferdinand nodded, he was already thinking about covering the whole country. With Bulgaria's land area of ​​several billions, it can't be won.

However, after considering the actual situation, he laughed again. Seventy to eighty percent of Bulgaria's territory does not need this thing.

There are no desert people. Why do you want to broadcast? Is it necessary to give news to Uncle Black in the African jungle? Is it necessary to pristine the animals in virgin forests?

According to this calculation, the main area covered now is the Balkan Peninsula, and then gradually expanded to the Asian region, and finally the African colonies.

If you calculate this, plus the required staff, the initial investment in the establishment of a radio station covering the Balkans will not exceed one billion levs.

As for the question of profit? There is no need to think about it at all, let's put your own company's advertisements. Are you afraid of losing money?

As long as you can control domestic public opinion, what is a billion levs? Ferdinand is not the master of bad money. Moreover, this business is also a profiteering industry in the future!

The most important thing is that the TV has already been born, but it is limited by the production cost and cannot be produced on a large scale. Of course, Ferdinand has not planned to put it on the market immediately.

Even if it is to be promoted, it is necessary to sell a wave of radio cassette recorders and earn the money for laying the radio and television network. Then, when it is modified directly on the existing base station, it is done.

"Well, you are doing well, next Friday ,! I will have a banquet at the palace, is there any problem?" Ferdinand said with a smile

什么 What do these scientists want? Is it money? Ferdinand can say for sure-no!

At least for the scientists in Bulgaria now, they have little interest in money, because all their expenses ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ do not spend money on their own.

Houses, cars, and servants are all issued by the government or scientific research institutions. All expenses such as food, clothing, housing, education, and medical care are fully reimbursed. Under this background, their feelings for money are naturally not so deep!

On the contrary, they are more obsessed with fame and fortune, and are eager to gain social approval. Otherwise, these people will also engage in scientific research. You must know that doing business is obviously more profitable.

However, a businessman can never become a noble by doing business. After the scientific inventions completed by scientists, he can easily obtain the title, even if he serves the enterprise, no exception.

He is also the core factor for attracting elite talents in the society and devoting himself to scientific research. Ferdinand knows that the scientific research undertaking alone cannot be sustained.

这样 As it is now, both wealth and lofty status are king.

"Yes, Your Majesty! ~~ No problem, we will be there on time!" James said excitedly

Every time a major breakthrough is made in scientific research, Ferdinand will hold a celebratory banquet. It is also the most beautiful time for these scientific researchers, and many people will even win titles on the scene.

Of course, no one will refuse such a good thing. There are still very few people who do not love fame and fortune. Normal people have all kinds of passions. How can they not be interested in these things?
