Chapter 37 - Part 2 of 1930 Chapter 37 Shock!

 What would it be like to starve an average of a thousand people every day?

 Starving to death. Without food, I grew weak day by day, my stomach ached, I felt dizzy and weak, hoping for something to fill my stomach, bark would do. But none!

 If you were young and a little more hungry, you would watch your parents and children starve one by one right before your eyes. There's nothing you can do about it! You just want to bury them, but you don't have the strength! And in the end, you will die in pain and despair.

 The little girl selling matches, before freezing to death, still has a box of matches in her hand. But these starving people had not a single grain of rice in their hands. There will be no smile on their faces when they die.

 King Kong read from the newspaper: On May 22, Beiping reported that the number of disaster victims in Henan Province was over 15.57 million. There were 112 counties in the province, 104 counties affected by drought, 76 counties affected by bandits, 28 counties affected by military disaster, and an average of 1,000 people starved to death every day!

 In one province, on average, one thousand people starve to death every day.

 King Kong won't save them. Even if he wanted to put a few grains of rice in each of their hands and make them smile when they died, he couldn't do it.

 Oh my god! These great Chinese people, "gentle, kind, courteous, thrifty and yielding", hardworking, kind, like to live a life of no contention with others and contentment with nature. How do you put them in such a situation?

 The great powers who once sucked blood from the Great China, the great powers who are still sucking blood from the Great China, come and see your masterpiece!

 Men who used to suck the people's money, men who are still sucking the people's money, come and see what you do!

 Big and small warlords who claim to be working for the country and the people but actually fight for the interests of their own small groups, don't you see the good deeds you do?

 ...............

 Disaster relief is the top priority for the people of Shanghai and even the whole country.

 Huang Qixiang came to see King Kong. Mr. Song, Mrs. Sun, launched a charity campaign asking people from all walks of life to donate money to help the victims.

 King Kongge donated 100,000 yuan in cash and over 300,000 yuan worth of medicines, making him one of the entrepreneurs who donated the most in Shanghai. King Kong doesn't have much cash now. He still has a lot of his own loans to pay off.

 Of course it's going to be in the newspapers, and he has so many children and so on. Mr. CAI Mi became a famous philanthropist in Shanghai.

 Many groups were donating money for disaster relief, and King Kong was surprised to see a donor in the newspaper: it was Fu Yi, who had been deposed from the throne. He donated tens of thousands of yuan worth of leather goods to sell, saying he had no money left. I don't know if it's true or not? Wasn't it said that from time to time some old men from the previous dynasty would go to pay tribute to him? But that's it. Fu Yi from this time and space sounds a little more human than that from the other time and space. At least for now, will he be a traitor in the future?

 There are also victims from Henan, Shandong, Anhui and other places flowing into Shanghai. Mr. King Kong, a renowned philanthropist, took in more than 300 people.

 Shanghai is short of food and food prices are soaring. King Kong asked their agents in America to buy three thousand tons of flour from America and bring it in. The price of flour there is much lower than that in China, but the shipping cost is higher. But now there's a crisis in the Americas, shipping is in a slump, and some old ships have to be dealt with. King Kong calculated that it would be more cost-effective to use the old ships he bought to transport the grain than to rent them from others, so he asked the agents to buy the old ships and transport the grain.

 Besides doing these things, King Kong had no choice but to work harder and expand his strength. Only with strength in hand can he help more people.

 King Kong threw himself into his business. The focus is now on semiconductor research.

 King Kong's ceramic crystal pulling furnace was made long before the move. As a product of Jingdezhen Keyi, Jinggang has some knowledge of the process of making crystals.

 But as the saying goes, "I've only seen pigs run, but never eaten pork." Although the crystal test began in March, it encountered quite a few technical problems. Of course, we wanted to work on monocrystalline silicon at the beginning, but we couldn't get pure silicon at that time. While trying to refine pure silicon himself, King Kong discovered and brought back high-purity metallic germanium from Europe. For the sake of speed, he brought it back with him, and upon his return, he switched to crystalline germanium and experimented with the crystal pulling process.

 The so-called crystal pulling process is nothing more than heating the material in a crucible in a vacuum furnace to the melting point of the crystal and holding it, and then allowing it to grow slowly from the young crystal. There is a pulling rod on the crucible, and you can pull out a single crystal by turning and slowly pulling it up. The key to the process lies in temperature control and the speed and speed of the pull rod.

 After several trials, the single crystal germanium was finally obtained in late June.

 The single crystal was cut into thin slices and placed in a vacuum permeation furnace for surface arsenic permeation. A semiconductor with a PN junction is produced. Cut the semiconductor sheet into small pieces, solder wires to both sides, and you get a diode.

 The production of a transistor is much more complicated. Grooves are etched on the semiconductor wafer to create two unconnected PN junctions on a very small semiconductor substrate, and three wires are soldered on each of them. King Kong commanded to work hard to overcome the technical difficulties in transistor production, but the progress was rather slow.

 There was one of the simplest radios at the time, called crystal radios. The feature was that no power was needed, and the sound was heard directly by the energy emitted by the radio station. The main drawback, apart from the low power that only makes headphones sound, is that it requires a long antenna and a ground wire connected to the ground. So this kind of radio can only be fixed in the home.

 The so-called "ore" refers to the main working element in a radio, which is a ore with unidirectional conductivity. This is used for rectification and detection, and of course it performs much worse than King Kong's diode.

 At that time, the radio's antenna coil was a large coil wound on a paper tube with a diameter of more than an inch, large in size but low in performance.

 King Kong made ferrite magnetic rods and wound them into magnetic coils. Not only are they much smaller in size than the original hollow coils, but the key point is that their performance has improved! The Q value of the coil has increased many times over.

 With the diodes produced, a small, high-performance "crystal radio" was made. With a one-meter-long antenna and a human body as the ground wire, you can listen to the radio. But the sound power is also very low and can only be listened to with headphones and one or two people.

 In August, Keyi's portable high-efficiency rectifier tube radio was launched. "Leading the world in technology, never need electricity!" This radio immediately caused a sensation in Shanghai.

 After the semiconductor radio was launched, in order to promote it in the market, King Kong invited a reporter from Shenbao to write a report. Of course, it was said that the production of this semiconductor radio was a great advancement in science and technology and a source of pride for the science and technology community of Great China.

 Because although the semiconductor was invented in 1902, King Kong was the first to industrialize it. King Kong almost thought that he had "invented" semiconductors in this time and space, only to find that it had been beaten to the punch.

 In order to get more people to buy radios, King Kong applied to set up a radio station called "Koyi Voice" in Shanghai. Because the radio station was poorly run, there were few radio users.

 And running a radio station should be profitable, right? King Kong has never run a radio station, but thinking about the CCTV building in another time and space, he doesn't think it will lose money. This building is completely contrary to the principles of mechanical structure, nor does it conform to the basic industrial design principle of "appearance follows function" of the Bauhaus. The construction of this building, which requires much more materials and more money, fully demonstrates the wealth of CCTV.

 But facts have broken King Kong's experience. There are more spacetime radio stations and too few radios! So there aren't many people coming to advertise on the radio. King Kong managed to make a little profit by running joint Keyi radio stations in big cities like Beijing and Wuhan, inviting storytellers to the radio stations to tell serial stories, and offering phone-on-demand programs and all the other tricks he knew. It's an investment to promote the radio. Who can resist King Kong's way of making money in another time and space Media?
