The cara caused a huge sensation.
What? You still havent got a cara? Tsk tsk.
Theyre sold out everywhere, how do you expect to get one?
You should have bought one as soon as they ca out, like . What have you learned so far? Its obvious that these things will run out of stock.
Sigh. What can I do? I have to wait until they restock the caras.
There had been products that had created a huge sensation in the past.
Penicillin was one of them.
People had learned from these experiences and developed a tendency to buy popular products as soon as possible.
The cara was no different.
It was so popular that it was hard to find in the market.
People even teased those who didnt have a cara for being out of touch with the trend.
Please hurry up and restock the caras, theyre begging us. The prices for second-hand ones are going up too. We need to release more supplies as soon as possible.
We have too many orders for developing and printing the photos. At this rate, it will take months for each one The custors are already very dissatisfied with the delay.
We also hear a lot of complaints that the photo studios are too far away.
Hmm
The Solid Horn invention was scary.
He had expected the success of the cara, since it was such an innovative product, but he hadnt anticipated such a huge hit.
But he couldnt just sit back and relax.
The Thick Horn did his best to solve the problems.
****
While his fathers space store was screaming with joy, the solid horn who had created the roll film cara received great praise.
Hes just a middle school student who made this?
Huh Another genius has erged in the empire.
I heard hes the only son of the space store owner. No wonder, they didnt get the cara from sowhere else, but from their own store?
He hit the jackpot by having a good son. Sigh, I wish my troublemaker kid was half as good as him.
Every day, the young genius who made the cara was featured in countless newspapers.
The solid horn beca a star overnight.
Haha! How do you feel? Everyone I et is talking about you, team leader.
Sigh
The solid horn sighed deeply at that remark.
To be honest, he wasnt interested in anything else.
He was a quiet student who only thought about photography at school.
But he received so much attention that he couldnt even go to school anymore.
He was lucky that the school understood his situation, otherwise he would have had more headaches.
But not going to school was good news for the solid horn.
School had been a big obstacle for him while he was developing the cara.
I still have a lot of things I want to make.
So people might scoff at him, but for Solid Horn, the cara was just a step in his journey.
He had no intention of stopping his developnt just because he had made a cara.
Now I can finally start on that.
Before, he only wished to make it easier for people to take pictures, but as he developed the roll film, he had another goal in mind.
With the roll film, I can take pictures in an instant. What if I take pictures continuously and then watch them in succession?
Solid Horn imagined the picture in his head. He felt a surge of excitent and couldnt sit still.
He went straight to his father.
Haha. My lucky boy is here.
Are you okay? You look very pale
Dont worry about this old man.
He said that, but to Solid Horns eyes, Thick Horn looked like he could collapse at any mont.
It was understandable, since he had been so busy that he barely slept three hours a day.
What brings you here? You should rest at ho, since you cant go to school.
I get restless staying at ho. So I thought Id do so more research Is that okay?
Research?
At that word, a flash of horror crossed Thick Horns face.
Of course, it was a good thing, but on the other hand, wasnt it because of the cara that this ss happened?
And he wasnt sure when this situation would calm down.
But what if another invention as big as the cara ca out of Solid Horns hands?
Thick Horns body shivered involuntarily.
But he couldnt tell his son, who had achieved such great results, not to do research.
Hmm. If you want to, go ahead. But dont overdo it. Making a cara is already a remarkable feat. Do you have sothing in mind?
Of course. If I finish this, it will attract as much attention as the cara.
Is, is that so?
Thick Horn felt a chill as he heard his sons confident words.
After getting permission from his father, Solid Horn started his new research right away.
Ill start the research on the topic I ntioned last ti.
What, already
The team mbers also had a similar reaction to Thick Horn.
But there was no one who ignored Solid Horn like before.
He had already shown them a huge achievent.
And the research he was going to do this ti was also a very interesting topic to hear.
The research went very smoothly afterwards, like a train running on a laid track.
It was natural.
The foundation was already prepared.
I can implent it with the performance of the roll film cara.
This cara had the ability to take one picture in 0.02 seconds.
That is, it could take 25 pictures in one second.
And according to the experint results, if 25 pictures taken in one second were connected, it looked like the pictures were moving by themselves.
In other words, it was good enough for video.
All he needed was a technology to make it flow steadily and a way to project the film pictures on the wall.
This was possible with the current technology level, so it didnt take long for the first product to co out.
Solid Horns team gathered in the lab and stared at the wall.
Then Ill turn it on!
After the team mbers words, light ford on the dark wall.
Oh!
Its moving! Its moving!
The team mbers exclaid as they saw it.
The projector was running and showing video on the wall.
It was just a test video they made, but they were happy enough with the fact that it worked properly.
Solid Horn looked at the video playing and spread his wings of imagination.
If I add a story like a play to this
Theater had been popular in the empire for a long ti.
No matter how he thought about it, it seed like sothing that many people would like.
Of course, there were so drawbacks.
The screen was black and white, unable to reproduce colors like reality, and the quality was not very good either.
Above all,
There is no sound.
The only sounds in the room were the murmurs of the team mbers and the projector running.
There was not a speck of sound from the video.
This was a problem that had to be solved.
Eventually, this new achievent beca a huge topic again.
And Solid Horn was admitted to the Imperial University as a special student.
He was only sixteen years old.
***
anwhile, one of Solid Horns concerns was already being actively researched.
After the telephone was developed by Gunny Bag, many people thought.
If we can send human voices to distant areas cant we also store sound?
If we can store sound, we can listen to music at ho.
Scientists who noticed this soon looked for ways.
And since the telephone was already out, it didnt take long for the key idea of the phonograph to erge.
It was to record sound by changing sound into chanical vibrations and then carving holes.
Eventually, not long after the telephone beca popular, the first phonograph was released to the market. In the future, tube phonographs beca the trend, but at this ti, it was a tin phonograph that used tin.
People soon showed interest in this.
Wow. It really plays music.
Haha. With this, I can choose and listen to various music whenever I want. And at ho too. Dont you think anyone with culture should have one?
Thats right.
The imperial citizens were generally wealthy.
Kim Giwoo had been paying attention to wealth distribution for a long ti, and this resulted in a solid middle class.
And at this ti, the imperial citizens did not skimp on money for leisure activities.
Thats why the phonograph, which was released at a fairly high price, sold like hotcakes like the cara.
Of course, there were many eyes in the music industry that looked down on the phonograph.
If the phonograph spreads widely, people might not co to listen to performances.
Science has eaten away at art, and now music has beco like this.
The form of art had already changed a lot by photography.
Before photography ca out, realistic paintings and sculptures were popular, but after photography beca popular and even recently, thanks to roll film caras, anyone could take pictures, the form gradually changed.
It beca more abstract.
Those who were involved in music worried that the phonograph would play a similar role.
Especially since music had the characteristic of playing for the audience, they were worried that the audience would decrease because of the phonograph.
The theater also had similar concerns.
Similar to how phonographs were spreading, Ujusangdan built theaters mainly in large cities.
And they showed short films here.
There is no sound, so it will be very bland. So you have to act as exaggerated and fun as possible.
The director who was asked by Ujusangdan to make a movie knew his limits well.
So he actively used physical cody such as falling down comically.
Thanks to this, the blandness caused by technical limitations was greatly reduced.
Here they used phonographs as much as possible and added music at appropriate places as background music.
Hahaha!
I thought it would be boring without dialogue, but its quite fun.
Theater has a lot of places where you cant see faces well, but this one looks good everywhere. And there are no mistakes like dialogue or anything.
Thats right. I can co here sotis when Im bored.
The audience showed a favorable view of the movie.
Naturally, sparks flew on the backs of theater people.
Movies still had more disadvantages than advantages, so it would take a lot of ti to beco popular.
There was no dialogue, the quality was bad, and it was black and white screen.
It was just because of novelty that people visited now, they didnt think that popularity would last as it is now.
But looking back at the past years, wouldnt these disadvantages be compensated eventually?
If that happened, it seed obvious that it would have a strong negative impact on theater as well.
They could see that movies had very clear advantages over theater.
Once fild, they could play it over and over again, and the appearance of the characters also looked much better than theater.
How can we deal with this
The worries of those in music and theater grew day by day.
But they couldnt stop the changing trends.
In order not to beco extinct eventually they had no choice but to change themselves too.
