The speed of construction here in Manhattan would not be considered a big deal or a shocking thing in later generations or in the modern era of another time and space.
You know, it took Manhattan's top chief executive two years to build streetcars and lay street lights in high-end neighborhood streets.
Even so, electric lights and streetcars did not cover all of Manhattan.
At the same time, it took about a year to build eight of the iron towers that appeared recently. A speed like this would be a complete joke in future generations.
However, this was in the seventeenth century and cannot be viewed from the perspective of later generations.
And people who have seen novel things like Manhattan are shocked by these things.
If there is anyone who is not shocked, it is only the citizens of the Chinese ethnic group.
The appearance of the iron tower aroused the curiosity of some people.
But they were just curious and didn¡¯t pay much attention.
Because people really don¡¯t know what use these towers can have.
Even if someone is interested in this, what they notice is that the Song Empire actually has so much iron raw materials that can be used to build these useless iron towers.
Those diplomats stationed in Manhattan from various European countries, the Arab world, and the Ottoman Empire privately complained about the Song Empire's tyrant style.
In their view, with so much iron, it might as well be sold to them.
It is simply a naked waste to build such useless towers.
Especially the Arabs and the Ottoman Empire, they are very short of iron raw materials. How can the Song Empire have so much iron raw materials to squander.
So in private, they complain the most.
But even if they complain, what's the use? The Song Empire is a rich man, and you can only envy and hate it.
There are eight iron towers, three in the central area of ??Manhattan, and the remaining five are built in scattered areas on the outskirts of the city.
Of course, now it is a suburb, but as the population increases and the city expands. It is conceivable that in the future these suburbs will become urban centers.
Because if the current Manhattan city is viewed from the perspective of another time and space, then it can only be regarded as the first ring of the capital, and the suburbs do not even reach the second ring.
And judging from the development momentum in Manhattan and its future prospects, it is not impossible that there will be five, six and seven rings in the future.
It¡¯s just that it takes time.
As time goes by, the development of Manhattan will not stand still.
As long as Zhao Hongyu is still alive, as the administrator of Manhattan City, Wang Shan will definitely continue to develop Manhattan City.
¡°After all, he and his companions were given some permissions by Zhao Hongyu.
Of course, it is impossible for outsiders to know the operation of the empire and these secrets.
Even among the Chinese people who know the inside story, no one will tell the secret.
Because these genetic people who know the secret have a mysterious power that imprisons them in their bodies. If they want to expose this secret, they will die.
Although we are all genetic people, we also cherish our lives very much, don¡¯t we?
No one is willing to risk their lives to expose the empire¡¯s biggest secret.
Now that I have said it, what part of this secret has yet to be exposed?
¡°At least after the empire develops, Chinese people can ride on the heads of those Europeans, which is a good thing for the Chinese people.
Only a mentally retarded person would have such an idea.
There is no need for them to leave the wealthy and handsome men alone and tease the stinky losers of this era.
With the construction of the large iron tower, another thing that is somewhat unfamiliar to the people has appeared in Manhattan.
Intercity communicator!
To put it simply, it is a wireless telephone facility network connecting Ontario City, Quebec, and other cities under construction. It was opened after the tower was built.
With the opening of wireless telephones, radio broadcasting stations were also established.
This is the real purpose of building a large iron tower.
"Now in Manhattan, what is being promoted in the name of gods is the analog mobile phones that have been eliminated in another modern time and space. They are all promoted by Zhang Tie.Zhenbang's brother-in-law got it from his hands, but he spent a lot of money on it.
However, once this thing becomes popular, people's lives will become much more convenient.
Especially the communication between various cities will become very smooth and convenient.
Invisibly, the distance between cities will shorten psychologically.
What Zhang Tie wants is such an effect.
Of course, this is not the most important reason. In fact, building large iron towers to provide communication services is just a side project. The most important thing is that Zhang Tie wants to control public opinion.
As a direct descendant of Zhao Hongyu and a genetic human, Zhang Tie received all the education he received from the modern virtual world.
Therefore, he is very clear that whoever controls the power of public opinion can control people's thoughts.
Manhattan needs stability and unity, especially in such an ignorant era, so it needs to constantly brainwash people into idiots.
But the problem is that people in this era are very illiterate, and they don¡¯t know much. This brings a lot of inconvenience to the brainwashing. You can't let Zhang Tie hand over all the brainwashing tasks to people like Jie Jiao.
Although there is already a newspaper industry here in Manhattan, because there are not many literate people, most of the newspapers are bought by Chinese Americans.
¡°Chinese people here in the Americas are definitely highly educated elites.
Although Jiejiao can be used for brainwashing, it is deception and superstition after all. This thing can only be used as a method, but it is not a mainstream method.
If Manhattan and even the Song Empire want to develop, the people must be selectively enlightened and brainwashed.
Fortunately, this era is not as complicated as other time and space, and there are not so many colorful entertainments. People in this era are so boring that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Therefore, Zhang Tie decided to start his plan to ¡®fool the people¡¯.
The radio station is part of this plan.
And regarding this plan, Zhang Tie also received support from Song Hu, Wang Shan and Professor Liu.
With the completion of the large iron tower and the establishment of radio stations, it means that in this era, the only brainwashing artifact will appear.
And this kind of brainwashing artifact is so powerful that it will never encounter any opponents.
Even if you are preaching, the audience that missionaries can face is limited.
But after a radio station is equipped with a large speaker, the number of audiences it can face will be much larger.
¡°In this way, large loudspeakers were installed on the streets of Manhattan and in residential areas, and the telephone poles originally prepared for the future installation of electric wires were installed.
Of course the Chinese people living in Manhattan know what this is, so they are not curious at all.
However, those Europeans living in Manhattan and diplomats from various countries are very curious.
On this day, a sound finally came from the loudspeaker that had always made people curious.
And after the loudspeaker started to be used, it really scared many people.
Unless those believers who believe in the Jie religion still have some resistance to this, the remaining people who do not believe in the Jie religion and have no experience with the artifacts given by the gods, as well as the diplomats from various countries, can really cooperate with them. Their little friends were stunned together.
They were stupidly listening to the strange thing making human noises, and their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.
Because they couldn't imagine how human voices were produced through that weird thing. This is completely beyond their cognitive scope, and they can't figure it out even if they try to break their heads.
Yes, although this kind of thing is common in another time and space, or in modern times, it can no longer be common. But in this era, it is terrifying.
" Jiejiao has deceived believers long before this.
It is said that the gods gave the empire a new artifact, so that everyone can appreciate the gift to mortals.
Radio broadcasting, in the eyes of Jiejiao believers, has become a thing given by the gods.
So, compared to the stunned diaosi, the followers of Jiejiao were only shocked for a short time, and then accepted the matter with joy.
"Oh, this is a gift from the gods.
As a mortal being able to use something given by the gods, this is a supreme honor.
It seems that there is really a future for believing in Jie Jiao.?
¡°Don¡¯t tell me, something like this that can make a human voice is really impossible to appear in the mortal world.
If this were not a gift from the gods, how could mortals like them see such miracles?
"Imperial Radio, Imperial Radio, this is the Voice of the Empire program, this is the Voice of the Empire program The Empire News begins There are frequent wars in Europe, Portugal and France and the ecclesiastical princes are fighting fiercely In this regard, we as The righteous country severely condemns the unjust war of the ecclesiastical princes and expresses serious concern"
"Let us all wish the great helmsman, the Crown Prince, who leads us to glory, long life and good health The empire is flourishing under the leadership of the Crown Prince Please listen to the song "Crown Prince, You are the sun that never sets in America" ??below. ¡¡±
"The latest news, under the leadership of the great crown prince, our royal fleet has arrived in the east"
Zhang Tie opened the window of his office, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, squinting his eyes and listening to the first broadcast of the radio with a contented look on his face.
Zhang Tie is still very satisfied with the content of the broadcast.
However, he felt that the content of this broadcast could actually be more disgusting. At the same time, there should be more brainwashing to praise the great crown prince After all, this is his real purpose of creating a wireless radio station (To be continued.
