Misfortunes come where blessings are, and blessings come where misfortunes lie.

When Catherine got this, which was only four times the size of a cigarette box (twice the length and width), she was shocked.

"This is...a mobile phone?"

This mobile phone has a half-meter-long antenna, but the microphone is connected separately.

"Yes." Cooper nodded.

“This was developed by Motorola?!”

If the other party has been able to achieve this level, it would be terrible - this means that the other party's mobile phone business can already be put on the market for sale, and if Motorola catches up at this time, then Catherine's explosive plan

Just scratch it and it's over.

Catherine's hands wrapped in black glue kept looking at the mobile phone. If it weren't for the one-piece clothes underneath, Catherine would have taken off her gloves immediately.

"No...it's the Soviets..."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved, but she immediately came back to her senses.

?"Wait, you said...Soviet people?"

"Yes, these are mobile phones made by the Soviet Union, but they use analog signals instead of the cdma digital signals we use. Analog signal mobile phones actually do not work well... Although from the outside, they look

The phone was not big in size, but a very important point was that the Soviet phone receiver was still separate."

"...Does the Soviet Union still have this thing?"

Catherine looked at the phone again.

"Actually, this is a technology that was developed more than ten years ago, and the developer was a Soviet engineer named Leonid Kuprianovich." Cooper was obviously unwilling, although there seemed to be some differences between the two products.

, but from a deeper perspective, the other party is indeed ahead of itself.

"It's just that the Soviet technology has been lying in the laboratory. We got this product this time because of a very accidental reason..."

"That's good." Catherine finally felt at ease.

As long as it's not commercialized, it's fine, as long as it's not Motorola... In her previous life, Catherine had never heard of a mobile phone being developed before Motorola launched the mobile phone in 1973 - not counting car phones.

Catherine was really shocked when she learned that the Soviets had developed mobile phones in the 1950s. However, the Soviets had already taken away all of Catherine's Internet and developed mobile phones... It was not impossible.

"But this thing is smaller than ours..." Catherine played with the Soviet mobile phone in her hand.

"But the technology imported by the Soviet Union is not very good. Their technology has lagged behind ours for a whole era..." Catherine comforted herself.

"But I think there should be some things we can learn from...such as batteries."

"Well. I'll leave this to you... In addition, I will collect some information about the Soviet mobile phones, but after that I will send it directly to the Rama Laboratory."

"OK."

After the other party left, Catherine's mood finally calmed down.

"What the hell... the Soviets have cell phones."

Although reason told Catherine that this seemed unlikely to affect her products, Catherine just couldn't let go.

"Elsa, help me take off these clothes."

I originally thought the clothes were comfortable, but when I was in a bad mood, this feeling of comfort turned into discomfort. I have to say that the feeling of wearing rubber clothing has a lot to do with my mood.

After taking off the outer silver-gray coat, the whole person felt much more relaxed. The dress underneath was a rubber coat that covered Catherine's whole body and was close to the skin. Although the dress was missing, this dress had other responsibilities.

A different kind of beauty.

"Elsa, go and ask. Information about the Soviet Union should have been sorted out separately. You should be able to find some audience information..."

"Well, okay."

After taking away Catherine's clothes and putting them aside, Elsa left the room.

Although Elsa was told like this, Catherine had no idea, because after all, this happened more than ten years ago. If relevant information could really be found... I'm afraid she would have to look through the previous information, but that information

There is no such thing as Catherine here. After all, Catherine's information was collected by reporters on a part-time basis. Although there is no difference,

But it is very complicated. Although there is a lot of news about the Soviet Union, it is very difficult to find them one by one. And the important point is that they may not necessarily find relevant information from more than ten years ago... But the thing is

Such a coincidence, it didn't take long for Elsa to actually find the relevant information and put it on Catherine's desk.

"Brussels World Expo?" Catherine looked at the information Elsa brought over and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Yes, the Soviets have information about mobile phones right here. They won a gold medal at the 1958 World Expo - because of mobile communication technology."

I see.

If it is information from the World Expo, it is possible that the company has also collected it.

It turns out that the Soviets completed the world's first fully automatic mobile phone communication system "Altai" as early as 1958.

Even in terms of mobile phones, they have powerful technology.

The Soviets were indeed ahead of the Americans in this regard. In 1957, Soviet engineer Leonid Kupriyanovich invented the k.1 mobile phone.

In 1958, he made further improvements to his mobile phone, reducing the weight of the device from 3 kilograms to 500 grams (including the weight of the battery), and simplifying the appearance to the size of two cigarette boxes. It can make calls to anywhere in the city.

Can be connected to any landline - the one Catherine is holding.

In the past few years, Kuprijanovic's mobile phone has been able to work effectively within a range of 200 kilometers.

It's just that these things all happened in the Soviet Union, and they were not commercialized, so it was really an accident that such news reached the United States, and it was even more accidental to get such a real machine.

If it weren't for the news that Cooper accidentally got, Catherine would never have thought that the Soviets actually had such "sophisticated" technology - Catherine's usual view of the Soviet Union was that they were "stupid, big, black and rough", but this time, Catherine

It has indeed changed.

As for the reason why Catherine didn't know about this product, it's very simple - it's not very famous.

Without commercialization, and in the Soviet Union, it is destined that such a product cannot be known to ordinary people in the United States. Although Catherine is paying attention to Soviet affairs now, that was now, but the Soviet mobile phones were

More than ten years ago.

The installation cost of the Kupriya astronomy network is too expensive: Kupriyanović overestimated the price of his invention. The unit price is about 300-400 Soviet rubles. Such a sum of money can buy a high-quality TV or a mobile phone.

A motorcycle. Because of this, such an expensive price prevents the popularization of portable mobile phones. Even for Soviet families with better conditions, using such communication tools requires a lot of expenses. Moreover, the Soviet Union does not have a large number of people like Catherine.

business customers.

Although the prices on Catherine's side are also high, because they are targeting commercial users, it is still easy to make money. As for the Soviet Union...the Soviets don't have that many capitalists, and they have no business needs at all.

Talk... So, although compared to the phone calls in the Soviet Union, the phone numbers on Catherine's side are much more deceptive, but there is always an endless stream of users accessing the network, forming a strong contrast with the Soviet Union.

"I really didn't expect the Soviets to be able to do this, but we are still superior..."

Catherine said with a smile.

As a capitalist, how can I support socialism?

It's actually that simple.

"Our next step should be to reduce the cost of mobile phones as much as possible, so that we can reduce the price of mobile phones as much as possible. I really want to popularize mobile phones as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease..." Catherine suddenly said this again.

"Reducing the price? Why do we need to reduce the price? I think if we reduce the price again, it is unlikely to expand the user base, right?" Elsa asked.

"Of course it's impossible for the commercial user group - but what if what I say is that we want to replace all landline phones and turn all those landline phones into our mobile phones?"

Catherine's ambition is on full display.

"This...isn't possible?" Elsa thought so.

"But if the price of our products drops below $1,000, it will be possible." Catherine stretched out a finger.

"Under $1,000...?"

"Yes, Elsa, let's take a longer view..."

"Okay, okay, Kachi, I know. You can always see farther away... But if it's less than $1,000, how can we make money?"

"As long as we don't lose money, it will be fine." Catherine said: "Our machine will become a platform...Elsa, do you still remember our unfinished blueprint?"

Serin once planned the future world, but that plan was not completed.

"That's it. Our mobile phones are one of the predecessors of personal terminals. In the future, mobile phones will be like our computers, capable of doing anything and completing everything..."

"Um."

Elsa looked at Catherine firmly.

Although Elsa often complained about Catherine, Elsa always believed in Catherine, and she would never doubt Catherine's decision.

There will be another update tomorrow.

By the way, the reference clothing of Catherine's clothes is placed in Du Niang's forum... Well, as for DT and so on, just ignore it, please subscribe...
