Chapter 310 Recording vinyl records

After natural disasters, many places were left uninhabited and uncultivated.

Gao Junyan simply built dikes on the periphery of some low-lying lands near the river.

In this way, if the river overflows the dam, this enclosed area will become a flood discharge lake.

There is also one here in Jiangzhou, but it is natural. Jinghu Lake’s water storage capacity is still very strong.

After several years of dredging and arrangement, the flood control and discharge capacity of Jinghu Lake has been much improved than before.

Gao Junyan left the government office and returned to Gaofu, staying in Jiangzhou for only two days.

After finishing Mo's official business and his son's schooling, he hurried back to Jiangning by boat.

It had been raining for the past two days, and Gao Junyan was worried that he might be trapped in Jiangzhou if he didn't leave.

Gao Junyan left Jiangzhou.

The time has also entered mid-July.

The rain that had been falling for a week finally stopped.

However, the water level of the river has no intention of decreasing at all.

It looks like it's still raining in some places upstream.

Song Yang led officials from Jiangzhou to carefully check for leaks and fill them along the Yangtze River system.

While strengthening the river embankment, a large flood discharge lake was reserved in some weak places.

After seven or eight days of busy work, the hardware flood control facilities have basically been arranged.

Although there have been no floods in recent years, Song Yang never dared to let down his guard.

Every year, manpower and material resources are invested in repairs and improvements.

So there actually isn’t too much to do this year.

On July 22, Song Yang finally finished the record player that he had no time to study.

The most difficult part is the engraving knife. The engraving knife needs to use extremely thin copper wire to wrap the magnet at the joint.

It took Wang Jinshi several days to make the thin copper wire. This thing required using a steam machine to repeatedly press the copper wire. It took more than a dozen times to reach the fineness required by Song Yang.

Song Yang manually wrapped the copper wire around the magnetic pole bit by bit, so that the engraving knife would be suitable for use.

There is no mechanical winding machine now, so we can only rely on Song Yang's strong physical fitness to work the winding, which is also impossible.

After the engraving knife is ready, the next step is to start recording.

The principle of recording is probably that the coil generates mechanical vibration due to the action of the magnetic field. Due to the different vibration amplitudes, the engraving knife forms uneven singing patterns with different spacings on the record.

In order to make the sound more three-dimensional, Song Yang also separated the circuits of the two magnetic poles to create left and right channels.

The principle of sound receiving equipment is similar. It also uses thin copper wire to surround the magnet, which generates magnetic field movement and transmits sound to the engraving knife.

The playback equipment uses an iron sensor head, and the principle is exactly the opposite to that of recording.

The textures on the film are different, the fluctuations produced are different, and the sounds transmitted are also different.

The audio frequency is read through the movement of the magnetic field, and then the sound is amplified and transmitted through a large copper speaker.

It also took several days to make this big copper horn Wang Jinshi.

Because I have never made such a strange instrument before.

I have seen a lot of suonas, but this kind of speaker that goes around in a circle to amplify the sound is really rare.

Song Yang checked it one last time.

"Theoretically it works, but the workmanship may be lacking. I don't know what the final effect will be."

Fang Zhe, Yu Ming, Ma Cheng and others were invited to witness the birth of the first audio.

Several people were milling around the gramophone.

"Your Majesty, can this thing make sounds?"

"Is it the same as a trumpet? The mouth of this trumpet is really big."

"I feel like this thing is a bit like a suona..."

Everyone has different opinions, and no one knows how this happened.

The apprentices of the three ink masters also came. They stared at the phonograph like hungry wolves looking at meat, and they wanted to tear it down immediately to study it.

Of course, how could Song Yang let them demolish it!

Song Yang stepped forward and took the machine away, fearing that it would be damaged by them.

This thing is a treasure!

"The album hasn't been recorded yet! I'll try to record one now!"

Song Yang walked into the inner room holding the machine.

His laboratory is now divided into several rooms.

In order to avoid interference in recording, Song Yang specially set aside a room to make a recording studio.

At this time, in the recording studio, Shen Xiaowan was accompanying Tong Qian to familiarize herself with the music score and lyrics.

This song was specially prepared by Song Yang for Tong Qian.

He felt that Tong Qian was more suitable for this kind of music.

There are modern elements and classical elements.

The only regret is that there are so few people who can play musical instruments.

Song Yang searched all over Jiangzhou and found only two, one who could play the flute and the other who could play the trumpet.

Fortunately, Shen Xiaowan can play the piano and Tong Qian can play the pipa.

In this era, only those who are well-fed can afford to play musical instruments.

In Jiangzhou, the royal palace originally had a band, but after a natural disaster, Jue Juezi died.

This makes it difficult for Song Yang to find an accompaniment.

Bala worked hard to get the band together, but it still lacked this and that.

I have no choice but to deal with it first and add whatever I have later.

"How's it going? How's your practice going?"

Song Yang put down the machine and said to everyone in the recording studio.

A boy who can play musical instruments was also found, and he could at least provide a voice.

Not to mention that these two people are still quite good.

The flute player used to be a cattle herder, and he played the homemade bamboo flute very smoothly.

The one who plays the suona is specialized in this, it can welcome new people and also send people away.

It's my job, so I'm doing well.

"Your Majesty, I have become proficient in practicing, but I still think this music is a bit strange." Tong Qian held the pipa and looked at Song Yang.

"Yes, I have never heard this kind of music before. It does sound a bit strange at first. But this music is actually very nice." Shen Xiaowan said with a smile.

"This kind of music will have room to become popular in the future," Song Yang said with a smile.

After saying that, he looked at the two boys again: "What about you, are you familiar with the music score?"

"Master Hui! The villain has mastered it."

The two young men were somewhat reserved and had never interacted with big figures, yet they were directly invited by the prince to accompany them.

"Don't be rigid, just relax. If you perform well, you will be rewarded. If you perform poorly... you will be rewarded less!"

Song Yang said that the performance was not good, and the two boys thought they were going to be beheaded, and their faces changed a little with fear.

As a result, the reward was less...

"Haha..." The two boys laughed, knowing that the prince was joking with them.

After laughing, I felt much calmer.

Song Yang chatted with them a few more words about home affairs, and then got ready to record.

Everyone took their places, and Song Yang himself walked behind the drum set.

Drum set was a little hobby of Song Yang's in his previous life, right?

Not very proficient, but can knock.

Of course, you can't beat the advanced ones, so now it's just a matter of catching up and dealing with them.

"Let's begin." Song Yang signaled to everyone.

"Didi, deidi..." The flute sounded first.

Then came Song Yang's drumbeat.

Then came the symphony of various musical instruments.

The prelude was very fast. Fang Zhe, Yu Ming and others, who were leaning against the glass at the door to watch the excitement, looked at each other and wondered what kind of music was being played in the room.

After the prelude, Tong Qian sang:

"The sand in the Chu River gathers and disperses."

"The vicissitudes of the sun and the moon have changed everything."

"In troubled times, how many beauties are exchanged for a long sigh."



"The spear drives the horse to bring peace to the world."

"This farewell is difficult."

"I heard Yuxi and tears welled up in my eyes."



After singing "Yu Xi Tan", Tong Qian was already a little teary-eyed.

This era has never experienced the Chu-Han conflict.

But everyone can understand the artistic conception in the lyrics.

History has its differences and similarities.

This time and space also has its own heroes.

What happened to them has been sung by the people for thousands of years.

A good story is always gripping, and so is music.

After listening to it, Fang Zhe, Yu Ming and others looked a little solemn, and they could feel the ups and downs of the battlefield in the lyrics and music.

I can also feel the sadness of farewell.

All in all, it's a good song.

Song Yang raised the engraving knife, and the first record in this time and space was born.

"Let's go. Now is the time to witness the miracle!"

Song Yang carefully picked up the vinyl record and looked at the sun.

You can indeed see the lines on the record.

This means that the sound is at least recorded.

As for the effect, it will now be tested by events.

Song Yang held the gramophone in his hand and greeted everyone to go outside.

Tong Qian and Shen Xiaowan were a little depressed.

This song was played before the venue was cleared, so I didn’t think anything of it at first.

But when you actually sing it with the soundtrack, it's a different mood.

"Let's go. I will have many more songs here in the future. Let's take a look at the record first." Song Yang put down the record player and then pulled the two girls to stand up.

The girls took a while to adjust their mood.

"Your Majesty, this song is sad, you should listen to it less!" Tong Qian sniffed.

"Haha! It's just a song. Well, the King of Japan will teach you how to record it and it will be much more fun. The atmosphere is guaranteed to be high! Let's go, let's go play the gramophone."

Song Yang laughed and said.

"What kind of song is Beer Shuang..." Tong Qian was still confused.

"This just feels so good!"

Song Yang sang a line, picked up the gramophone and left with a smile on his face.

"Uh, what about this kind of music? It's even weirder than the one just now!" Tong Qian curled her lips, thinking that Song Yang was teasing them.

Shen Xiaowan smiled and said: "Maybe this music really exists. After all, the prince is a god descending to earth, so the music in heaven may be like this."

"Then I wonder if there is any music in the sky that is suitable for my sister. She can also record a record!" Tong Qian said with a smile.

"Fuck you, make fun of me, watch me scratch you!" Shen Xiaowan stretched out her magic claw.

The two girls were playing around and feeling better.

As for the teasing that Shen Xiaowan mentioned, there is actually a story behind it.

Because Tong Qian can sing, Song Yang often joins Tong Qian in singing.

After Shen Xiaowan came in, Song Yang also encouraged Shen Xiaowan to sing together.

I originally thought I could start a two-woman girl group.

Under Song Yang's hard work, Shen Xiaowan finally agreed to try singing.

It turns out that Shen Xiaowan is very good at playing the piano and singing...

It’s hard to describe in one word.

When a song comes down, I don’t dare to say it if it’s out of tune.

Because she wasn't tuning in at all.

Song Yang and Tong Qian laughed about this matter for several days.

As a result, when I ask Shen Xiaowan to sing, the girl becomes so angry that she wants to hit her!

Song Yang walked in front and came out carefully holding the gramophone.

The people outside were already waiting eagerly.

"Come, come, it's time to witness the miracle!"

"You are about to hear music from the world's first phonograph!"
