Chapter 954 Yi Zhonghai Buys a TV
Even if Shu Province is not good at this thing, he probably knows a place with pretty good chemistry, and it's not far from Shu Province.

Nowadays, when we cooperate and integrate resources, we really have to consider transportation issues. It's not like the future where it doesn't matter and I can live at the head of the Yangtze River and you can live at the tail of the Yangtze River.

After that, Gao Zhendong drew the chemical formula of the amidoxime functional group on the blackboard. To be honest, Gao Zhendong himself didn’t know whether this thing had been discovered in this year, and what it was called. But it didn’t matter. Even if it hadn’t been discovered, what I said was what it was. Anyway, it didn’t matter what it was called, as long as the comrades could recognize it.

"If Chief Engineer Gao is free, you are welcome to visit our Shu Province more often. Although our Shu Province is slightly different from Qianshan, it also has beautiful scenery, outstanding people and most importantly, there are many delicious foods." The leader of Shu Province said with a smile.

Needless to say, his idea is exactly the same as that of his comrade in Qianshan. It is not a bad thing for such a great expert to come here just for a stroll.

As a leader, he knew very well that these top technical experts had a problem that was difficult to cure - stupidity!

They find it very unbearable to see the things they are good at being run in a very stupid way in the hands of others, and to see undesirable results appear.

Those who can bear it a little longer would probably give some advice, "You'd better do this in this place", and then the effect would be achieved.

And if the person has a more irritable personality and a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, the most likely result is that he will roll up his sleeves and say, "Get out of my way! I'm coming!", which would be even more beautiful.

In fact, many people have this problem. In Gao Zhendong's previous life, many game advertisements were done this way. In the advertisements, they would demonstrate the game in a way that was not extremely stupid, but at least full of mistakes and omissions, making people who watched the advertisements feel uncomfortable, and then they would play the game themselves.

For Gao Zhendong, the words of the Shu provincial leaders made him feel both amused and helpless.

If you don't talk about food, we can still be good friends, Gao Zhendong thought angrily in his heart.

"If you have time, be sure to come over." Never mind, it seems there is nothing to struggle about this matter, so let it be.

Gao Zhendong had just got home from get off work. Before he even entered the house after parking his car, he heard and saw a large group of children running towards the central courtyard.

"Hurry up, let's go, Grandpa Yi bought some good things. Let's go and take a look."

"I just brought it back from the supply and marketing cooperative. I heard they are installing something... something... yes, an antenna. They are installing an antenna."

"Does that mean we don't have to wait until the uncles and aunts in the yard finish their studies before we can watch TV?"

"Yeah……"

"No, I like watching the teacher teaching on TV." This child is really studious.

"If you want to watch it, you can watch it with your uncle and aunt at the old lady's place. We want to watch something else anyway."

"Stop talking nonsense. It's still unclear whether you are allowed to see it or not. Do you think it's the old lady and Uncle Gao who opened the door wide for you to see?" This kid is talking nonsense.

The children ran to Yi Zhonghai's house while talking. This kind of thing was a rare excitement for children of that age, and they had to join in the fun!
Gao Zhendong heard that Yi Zhonghai had bought a TV. He had to go over and see if there was anything he could do to help. Televisions these days were a bit like professional equipment. Not to mention ordinary people, even someone as skilled in turning as Yi Zhonghai might not be able to operate them.

He said hello to Lou Xiao'e, who was not to be outdone. She handed her child to the nanny and came over happily. Zhendong was back. Wasn't he more fun than the child?
The couple walked to the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai, who was busy threading, saw Gao Zhendong and called out cheerfully, "Zhendong is here?"

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were also helping nearby. Qin Huairu handed over tools, Sha Zhu was setting up the antenna on the roof, and Aunt Yi was looking after the children nearby.

Gao Zhendong nodded and said with a smile: "Master Yi, are you preparing to upgrade your equipment to take care of your grandson? Hahaha."

He was not so shy about things that others were reluctant to talk about. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai was the master of Qin Huairu and Jia Xudong, so it was reasonable for him to say that he was taking care of his grandson.

While hammering nails into the antenna cable, Yi Zhonghai answered cheerfully, "Yes, the children are grown up now, and they want to watch more TV. The one you put at the backyard with the deaf old lady is for TV students in the yard to watch TV courses. It won't be a big deal if these children get old. I might as well buy another one and split the flow. The adults can learn from adults, and the children can watch from children."

When we say "nail on the cable", we really mean nailing it directly through the cable. At that time, the production of coaxial cable was still relatively difficult, and the TV antenna used parallel ribbon cable. You can imagine it as a plastic belt less than 2 cm wide, with a copper wire arranged parallel on both sides of the belt. In order to save trouble, people at that time often used nails to directly nail the plastic part in the middle, without the problem of leakage or short circuit.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai doesn't care about other people. There is only one reason. After Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu got married, Yi Zhonghai saw that his grandchildren were confirmed. At this time, the more he looked at Qin Huairu's children, the more he loved them. So, thinking that the TV in the backyard was mainly for adults to study at the TV University, he simply got a TV for his grandson to watch.

As for the other children, just take care of them. After all, I am still the uncle.

For Yi Zhonghai, the price of TV sets is not a big problem. The only problem is that they were useless before. And now the price of TV sets has dropped. Most importantly, the supply is much more sufficient, unlike before when it was impossible to get one.

It's not just televisions; other home appliances are in a similar situation, at least the shortage has been alleviated, especially radios.

If television is still a luxury item now and only a handful of people in the yard can afford it, and even working couples like Xie Jianye and Chen Yuehong have to consider saving money, then the popularity of entertainment appliances such as radios and tape recorders has greatly increased. Ever since Gao Zhendong took semiconductors to a new level, small, portable and inexpensive semiconductor radios have quickly become mainstream.

However, some people thought that tube radios like the five-lamp radio sounded better, which made Gao Zhendong exclaim, "Wow!" The dispute over gallstones began from then on. There were already enough people, so Gao Zhendong did not join in to help, but watched them fix the antenna. Lou Xiao'e also watched with great interest. This was new to her, and with Gao Zhendong by her side, it was even more pleasant.

After Yi Zhonghai and his colleagues worked for a while, they finally managed to connect the antenna to the TV in the main room.

The antenna was connected to the back of the TV, and Yi Zhonghai carefully wrapped it with electrical tape.

"It's time to turn on the TV. It's time to turn on the TV." The children made a lot of noise. This was a very important ceremony for them. When they went out to the alley and told the children in other yards about it, they could feel proud for a long time.

Even Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu had a sense of ritual.

"Silly, turn on the TV."

"No, no, no, uncle, you should come."

"..."

The two pushed and shoved for a while, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't resist Sha Zhu, so he pressed the boat-shaped switch on the lower right corner of the TV himself.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The TV made a shrill noise and the screen was covered with snow.

"Wow...Oh..." The children first exclaimed excitedly, and then exclaimed with a little disappointment, because this thing is invisible.

Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't changed the channel yet."

He installed the antenna, so if it can't be seen, that's his problem.

Nowadays, you have to tune the channels on TV yourself. Many TVs have two knobs, one for the channel, but this channel is just a mark. In fact, you have to use the other knob to make coarse and fine adjustments to adjust to the correct frequency so that you can remember the frequency of each channel and watch TV.

In fact, the two knobs are combined to form an electromechanical frequency storage tuner. The number of channels that can be stored is what kids often compare. If someone has more than 12 channels, they are very impressive. However, there are not so many channels to watch these days.

Sha Zhu adjusted it for a long time and there was some effect, but the change was not big.

Damn it, I’m going to embarrass myself in front of these little brats. Amid the children’s laughter of “Oh…Oh…”, Sha Zhu wiped a non-existent cold sweat in his heart.

By the way, isn’t Zhendong right next to us? Just ask him. Not only can he change the channels, he can even make a TV.

"Zhendong, I'm not familiar with this model. You've seen a lot. Come on, try it out." Sha Zhulu refused to give in and kept his mouth shut.

This guy is not familiar with any model, let alone this one.

Gao Zhendong walked up with a smile. He was there to help.

He adjusted the tuning knob until there was a little bit of image, which was the best effect for the time being. Then he asked Shazhu to go upstairs and adjust the direction.

The antenna vibrator has a polarization direction. After adjusting it for a while, I finally got it to a point where I could see it.

"Uncle Gao is still the best." A group of little kids said with gleam in their eyes.

"It's still worse than the old lady's."

"That's because Uncle Sha's antenna wasn't built well." Gao Zhendong's status in the children's hearts is extremely high. All the credit goes to Uncle Gao, and all the problems are borne by Uncle Sha.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

But these kids really didn't wrongly accuse him, the antenna was indeed not made well. The signal is weak these days, and the pull-rod or loop antenna that comes with the TV is generally not very effective. You need an external antenna. There are also simple instructions in the manual, but it is not the best antenna form. This is because the TV manufacturer's service has not kept up.

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Don't blame your silly uncle, this kind of antenna is not effective. Master Yi, do you have aluminum stranded wire at home?"

Come on, Uncle Gao will show you what improvisation is.
