Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 361 Expo 361

 The Kingdom of Susas, the royal city.

 A car sped by on the uneven road, and a large number of flyers flew out of the car window. Pedestrians passing by stopped, picked up a flyer, and read the contents carefully.

 This is a leaflet printed with colorful ink, and the content written on it does not seem to have anything to do with the general public.

The leaflet stated that Datang Group was preparing to hold the first "World Industrial Expo" in Bunas three months later.

To be frank, many of the common people in Sussus didn't even know what the fair was about. Fortunately, this leaflet explains it.

The so-called World Industrial Expo is a super gathering related to industrial development. As long as you have advanced technology or innovative ideas about technology, you can participate in this expo.

 Anyone, whether in textiles or mining, whether in shipbuilding or other messy industries, as long as they have new technologies, can come here to participate in the exhibition.

ˆIf you are favored by others, you can sell your ideas or products to promote innovation and development, so that new people joining the industrial technology field can get financial returns as soon as possible.

Datang Group will also exhibit its latest technologies at this expo, including telephone technology, more sophisticated steam engines, newer cars, and ship models.

 In addition to new technologies and new ideas, technological innovation in industrial processing is also a key project of this expo.

 Whether individual workers or factories can participate in technical competitions, everyone can take out their own processed parts and compete for accuracy, pushing the entire technology to develop in a more precise and advanced direction.

If there is really someone’s craftsmanship, or technological innovation, invention and creation

 At the end of the expo, Datang Group will judge the most revolutionary innovations and award the innovators a Datang Technology Gold Award.

This award is funded by Datang Group and is divided into three levels. There is no limit to the number of places for the third prize. As long as the design or technology participating in the review meets the conditions, you can receive this award. There is a limit of ten second prizes, and there is only one first prize!

Don't underestimate this award. Datang Group has prepared a generous reward of 50 gold coins per person for the third prize. Each person for the second prize has a bonus of 500 gold coins. The first prize is even more exaggerated, with the bonus further increased to A terrifying ten thousand gold coins!

 “What is this?” a passerby who picked up another flyer asked his friend next to him with a frown.

Even though Susus has carried out various reforms, the literacy rate in this era is still very low. Even within the royal city of Susus, the proportion of illiterates is quite high.

King Susas, who was already aware of this problem, followed the example of the Tang Group and established two schools in the royal city of Sussus.

 One is a junior school with universal literacy and the other is an advanced school.

 Advanced schools even directly hired graduates from Datang Group to serve as teachers to teach a variety of new sciences and fully integrate with Datang Group.

 Even after paying 100,000 gold coins every year, this advanced school, the Royal Academy of Sussus, obtained the qualification to send 30 graduates to Datang Technical Institute for further studies every year.

"Who knows... I can only have a rough idea." Another commoner from the Kingdom of Susas said embarrassedly "showing off".

He was literate and spent one day a week studying writing and mathematics at the Kingdom Junior School. This was his capital, as he studied in a junior school and even got a good job in the kingdom's administration!

“What does it say?” the young man who also picked up the flyer asked curiously.

"It is said that Bunas is going to hold a conference, and many people will attend. If anyone has any inventions, he can go, and he can even participate in the selection and win a prize." The literate clerk answered.

At the same time, on the streets of Bunas, the old newspaper seller waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly: "Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! The first industrial expo in world history is about to be held!"

 There is no way, all the children in this city have gone to school - Bunas, or Datang Group stipulates that all children must receive education from the age of 5.

　　Preschool education is from 5 to 7 years old, primary school education is from 7 to 13 years old, and primary education is from 13 to 16 years old... Tang Mo directly copied the school system from his previous life.

 The difference is that Datang Group has money, so up to high school, Datang Group adopts a free and compulsory admission system.

 What’s even more exaggerated is that as long as the children participating in the study can keep up, there is no tuition fee until they graduate from graduate school. There are even subsidies.

Those children who cannot keep up will be arranged to continue their studies in industrial technical schools. They must master at least one skill before they can be assigned to corresponding positions.

It can be said that this kind of operation, which is very similar to the wartime system, makes it rare to see idle young people in the areas controlled by the Datang Group.

 Because of this, jobs such as selling newspapers are generally done by older people who cannot keep up with the times. They can support themselves through such work and even subsidize some household expenses.

 There is no way, Datang Group has not launched anything like pension insurance, so basically we can only rely on the elderly themselves to support them...

 An old man who looked to be seventy years old was sitting in front of a roadside stall. The stall was filled with various newspapers.

He shouted loudly with a mouth with few teeth left: "Come and take a look! The latest news! Datang Group holds the World Industrial Expo!"

From time to time, a woman stops here and takes out her change to buy a copy of the Tang Dynasty Fashion Newspaper.

“Bunas may become the center of the world! Hosting the most important industrial conference in history!” There was a newsstand at the corner of this street, and an old woman was also shouting.

There are no less than fifteen kinds of newspapers published in Bunas, most of which are newspapers and periodicals run by Datang Group itself.

 There are workers' newspapers, business newspapers, news newspapers and horse racing betting newspapers. There are many variations and they are all very popular.

 Women like fashion newspapers, while men mostly read news and business ones—each gets what he wants without disturbing each other.

Radio broadcasting has recently appeared, and Bunas also built a huge radio tower. Rich people have gradually begun to accept the habit of listening to radio.

 The emergence of radio stations has impacted the sales of newspapers, just as the emergence of the Internet has impacted the television industry.
