Chapter 477 The battle to save the hopelessly boring future

The United States is a paradise for rich people. If you have money, you can live a good life here.

Even though Catherine is a rich person, her life is not easy.

There is no mature network in the 21st century, no Android and Apple, and no flat-panel LCD.

In fact, in this era, even televisions have just entered the "color" stage. It seems a little difficult to watch American dramas like "ER" in the future...

The most important thing is that the 1960s was one of the most turbulent and uneasy years in the United States. Although this era was full of passion, if you were not careful, you would encounter various problems - Lin Shenhe's shooting was one of the most important.

Typical example.

At this time, when cults were rampant in the United States, Catherine would sometimes worry about her family members believing in cults. These were all headaches.

On the other hand, Catherine also faced the Internal Revenue Service who took the trouble to check the accounting records - because of tax avoidance, the taxes Catherine paid were far less than her income, which is why she was targeted. However,

Adhering to the fine tradition of Americans resisting taxes to build a country, Catherine has no problems on the books. All taxes are avoided through legal means - this year is not 2012 in the future, and the US government is still

It’s no big deal to go overseas to check taxes.

Now, Catherine feels that the most important thing for her is to popularize mobile phones as soon as possible. When mobile phones gradually become popular, she will be able to earn more money, and then she will have more opportunities to change the world.

.

Now Catherine has that opportunity.

After coming to this world, Catherine found that her thinking seemed to have become clearer and more active, and she seemed to be able to quickly come to conclusions about anything she thought about. When Catherine was a child, she had read various treatises and written excellent

The words, when danced, are also so perfect.

Therefore, she felt that since her conditions were so good, it would not be much fun if she just allowed this world to be like the original one.

Maybe the Internet is very attractive, but it only goes so far.

Catherine suddenly felt that she was in a similar situation to Suzumiya Unri. They both felt that the world was not interesting, and they also wanted to find something "unusual".

It's just that Catherine doesn't seem to be a "god" like Suzumiya Unhi, nor is she the protagonist in some novels. When the bastard's anger is shaken, the enemy will surrender.

In the current situation, it can be said that if Catherine dares to go on vacation abroad without any problems as before, large companies such as Motorola will immediately choose to attack, because although Catherine's companies have their own autonomy, only one company, Inel or Apple, will

, there is no way to fight against them. Only by integrating these enterprises can we have the capital to fight against them.

It can even be said that if Catherine suddenly develops a brain disorder and hands all her rights to the subordinates, within a year, she will be completely ignored, and even the company will be moved without anyone left.

.

Genius is indeed useful, but geniuses like Noyce, who founded a company that has dominated the entire semiconductor industry for nearly half a century, also have their own ambitions.

Now they are willing to be here, one reason is that Catherine is stronger than them - at least it seems so, and the other reason is that the Ark Group can be said to be the only platform they can develop.

Catherine's monopoly has been formed, and there is already a mature industry chain that bundles many third parties, so it is almost impossible to start a new business. Even if Noyce is a genius, it is impossible to win over Catherine

Such high-end, low-priced products.

"I don't know when I will get the love that belongs to me..."

Catherine rolled her face on the keyboard, and "Angela" in the chat room said a push code.

Although she is at home now, Elsa has already replaced the keyboard here with a leather keyboard.

"Come... put it over here..."

While Catherine was thinking, Lyrella and Elsa walked into the house carrying a huge guy.

"What's this?"

Catherine looked at the two of them strangely.

"The signal receiver can serve as the source of Rebecca's headphone commands, but what I care about more is its other function~"

A strange smile appeared on Lyrela's face.

"What?"

"You can listen to "Voice of America" ​​for this thing~"

Lyrela said mysteriously.

"Voice of America?" Catherine's voice rose 8 degrees: "Are you sure?"

The other party nodded, but Catherine was already startled: "But Lairila, I have to tell you, this is an illegal act, and if you are caught, you will be in trouble..."

The American Information and Educational Communications Act was passed in January 1948. Section 501 of this act, commonly known as the Smith Act, explicitly prohibits the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia and other state-owned media from broadcasting domestically in the United States.

The ban is in effect to this day.

In fact, until Catherine came to this world, something like the Voice of America was not allowed to be broadcast in the United States.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with accepting such a signal, but it is indeed illegal. If you are caught and don't let go, you will have to deal with it, which will be troublesome.

"It doesn't matter. It's unlikely that anyone else will come into our manor anyway."

Lyrella smiled at Catherine, reassuring her.

"Okay, okay..."

Catherine really doesn't know what's wrong with Lyrela, she actually wants to hear that kind of thing?

"Now that I've bought it, Kate, I'll let you listen to that magical sound."

Lyreira powered on the machine, then pulled out two huge antennas from inside and stretched them out of the window.

"What the hell...why is there no sound?"

Although Lyreira really wanted to show off in front of Catherine, it was obvious that her idea didn't seem to work because the machine seemed to be broken.

"Don't bother, Lyrela, even if there is no problem with this thing, it will be difficult for us to receive a signal here."

In North Carolina, the federal government has indeed established a transmission tower, but this tower is oriented to Latin America. Unless it is in North Carolina or the following areas of Florida, otherwise

It seems difficult to hear these sounds. In addition, Catherine does not know where else in the United States there is a "Voice of America" ​​transmission tower.

When the Voice of America was first established, it was under the Wartime Information Bureau and was responsible for publicizing the Allied policies and achievements in fascist-controlled areas. In 1945, the Voice of America was managed by the State Department and was based on using the "unfashionable" method to educate the people of other countries.

Get closer to American values ​​and lifestyles, thereby helping the United States counter the ideological expansion of the communist camp.

In fact, many Americans don't even know that Voice of America exists. Americans like Catherine and Lereira are really a minority among the minority.

"Okay, okay... It seems that I have to find a way to repair this thing... Heck, when I just bought it, there were no problems. Could it be that this useless thing is

Lyreira complained a little, then looked at Catherine: "What are you doing, Kate?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about the role and development of mobile phones. I think our future can be slightly revised..."

What is this called?

Save the future?

Or "The battle to save the hopelessly boring future"? Maybe it can be shortened to something like that...

"Actually, Kate, I still think your movie is more interesting. I really don't know when "Psychic Reaction" will be produced, but I'm looking forward to it..."

"You were just influenced by Elsa." Elsa next to her shrugged.

"No, I really think it's very good. I heard from Elsa that you also wrote a script when you were in England? What was it?"

"Halo, but I think with current technology, it seems a bit reluctant to shoot such a science fiction movie." Catherine shook her head.

"Hey, wasn't "2001: A Space Odyssey" released last year a very good science fiction film? And genres like "Psychic Reaction" are also very good..."

Catherine just smiled bitterly: "Yes, if we want to shoot, we can indeed achieve sufficient effects through post-production, but... do you know how much money we will need to do this?"

You can't get away with 200 million, but Catherine doesn't care if this movie can have a box office of 200 million, and the 200 million box office has to be divided, so in the end you will still lose money...

Catherine's unpublished novels include "The Matrix" and the unfinished "Black Lagoon", and the scripts that have not yet been filmed include "Halo" and the three World War II movies that were written in the UK but have never been filmed.

The other two parts of the song, one of which "Schindler's List" is planned to be saved for the finale, and in the previous part, Catherine had to go to Taiwan to find He Fengshan...

All in all, Catherine may not have enough time to shoot movies in the end. The book "Black Lagoon" alone has occupied Catherine's energy. The most important thing is that she has to deal with the problem of mobile phones...

"A big battle to save that hopelessly boring future?" Catherine suddenly murmured.

"What?" Lyrella didn't react for a moment.

"I said, 'The Battle to Save the Hopelessly Boring Future.' What's the name of this plan?" Catherine asked.

"What is that?" Lyrela looked at Catherine strangely: "The name of the new movie?"

"No, this is what our ideal future looks like."

The future that Catherine thinks about alone is too unrealistic, and it is impossible to cover everything. But what if more people can be invited to come together, and it seems that something interesting can be worked out?

Catherine felt that her plan seemed interesting...

Well, a very wonderful plan for the future...

…

There’s another update tomorrow, and I’m cleaning again today, so I’m on the street...

In addition, do you think it would be more interesting for the protagonist to do something when Nixon comes to China? Hehe~ f@.
