Chapter 203: Jobs in the 19th Century
"Your Majesty the Emperor, can you let me think about it?" Here's how Edison answered.
"......" To be honest, Li Mengyang feels a little ...... Really, after becoming the emperor, Li Mengyang really did everything, and there was no one who would not agree to recruit talents.
Even the most powerful scientists of our time, Mr. Thomson is not all given by himself...... It seems to be a kidnapping, but don't people get along well with themselves now?
But now, this Edison in front of him is going to reject himself like this?!
That's right, Li Mengyang heard it and saw that this Edison was going to leave and return to the United States, and that's it. This somewhat made Li Mengyang angry, this has nothing to do with the $100,000, he doesn't care about the money at all, what he cares about is the future inventions of Edison.
But......
"Okay, Mr. Edison, you can think about it, you can think about it fully, you can come to our empire as a trip, you can go around our empire as you like, and all the expenses can be counted as mine."
Hey, Li Mengyang is also generous!
"Thank you!" Edison was naturally overjoyed, he was simply bouncing away.
"......" looked at the back of this young Edison, and Li Mengyang, the emperor, showed a playful smile.
What is Li Mengyang calculating?
In fact, Li Mengyang saw one thing, that is, the current Edison is still very young, he seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and this person's mind is also a little immature.
Just now, I was on the form, and it was the process of asking for a check.
Generally speaking. Now that everyone has come to my emperor's palace. This person should have already thought about selling that formula to me, the emperor. A person with a mature mind will not be like Edison, who will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and he will have to look at the money first.
It's not a matter of petty family, it's obvious that it's too naïve to consider the problem!
I'm the emperor, and if I want to pay the bills, even if you let you see the money, as long as you give me the recipe. Then I'll kill you kid, won't I?
That's right, the power of the emperor is so great that to kill someone like Edison is like pinching an ant to death.
But judging from the whole process of asking for a check, Edison didn't think about it at all, he was like a worried little guy, but he was about to get a lot of money, and his palms were sweating, anyway, he was in such a state.
Then this shows that Edison is a person. NOW IT'S TOTALLY, TOO-YOUNG-TOO-SIMPEL!
A patterned guy. Many things have not yet taken shape, such as the three views, so Li Mengyang has a plan.
What is this plan?
It's very simple, almost half a year ago, Li Mengyang, the emperor, didn't invent the light bulb, and recently, this light bulb is going to be a large-scale exhibition......
"Comrades! People! ”
The best place in San Francisco is the City Hall Square, and today, in the middle of the night, many San Francisco residents gather here.
What the hell are they doing?
I saw a building in the middle of the square, this building was somewhat strange, from the front, this building looked like a castle, and there was a boxy house in the back, and there was a big chimney on top of the house, and the strangest thing was that near the house, there were many people, they were transporting coal there.
And this castle-like building is actually a shelf, not a real castle, but the outline of this castle, that is, the corners and corners, are all installed with glass spheres.
Yes, that's the light bulb! There are a lot of light bulbs that outline a castle, but these bulbs are not lit yet.
There was a platform in front of the 'castle', and on that platform stood it was none other than the Minister of Propaganda of the Empire, Liszt!
"Today! O people of our empire! Blessed are you! His Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire, had previously invented something that could bring us light! Bright! How precious! The light will keep us from being afraid of the night! The Illuminati will let us see clearly! Illuminati ......"
Liszt is still the same, anyway, if there is any activity, especially like this, it will definitely cause a sensation, and he will definitely show off his mouth.
What kind of activity is this? How can it be a sensation?
It will definitely be a sensation, because the propaganda of this event has already begun more than a month ago, and the newspapers have been saying it early in the morning, and just today, the empire will bring you something unprecedented in the evening!
Artificial light!
Edison was also in the crowd, but he did not come because he read the newspaper, but because he was informed that His Majesty the Emperor wanted him to attend the event, which would be very interesting.
Edison was curious, he wasn't smart, but he was definitely curious enough.
But......
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
This is a drama that will definitely appear every time there is a large-scale event, especially when there is a guy like Liszt, that is, everyone, the mountains are calling for the name of the emperor's majesty.
And Edison also noticed that the soldiers in charge of the order of the scene would raise their hands above their ears at this time, as if they were saluting.
"Hello comrades!" Under such a mountain and tsunami, His Majesty the Emperor appeared!
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
This enthusiasm, this kind of momentum, Edison swore he had never seen before, and at this point, he felt as if he were a hillbilly.
"No more!" Li Mengyang was still wearing the emperor's uniform today, and he saw that the sky was already dark, so he waved the white gloves he had just taken off.
Buzz Buzz......
All the people in the square. All I heard was a roar. And they all felt like the ground was shaking. This is......
The boiler, the chimney of the square room behind it, is emitting black smoke outside, and the people next to it are desperately shoveling coal inside!
Edison could see that it was a boiler, but at this time, what was the boiler doing on a hot day?
But soon, the answer came!
"Wow!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Oh God!"
The people in the square cheered almost at the same moment. Because they saw that the glass balls on the 'castle' were all lit up one by one, that is, the book, and the 'castle' appeared!
The glass bulb is the light bulb, and the boiler is actually connected to the generator.
In the dark night, a little starlight is in front of people's eyes, shiny, it makes people have the urge to pick it, but. They don't want to do it, because it would destroy the original beauty. It's so beautiful!
At this time, although there were gas lamps, although there were some other lighting appliances, but, as it is now, small things with such high brightness, the common people of the empire swear, they have never seen them before.
In fact, not only did they not see it, but Edison, a small inventor from the United States, he had never seen it, and even he bet that people all over the world, except for the one in this square, no one else had seen it!
"Miracle! Marvel! ......" Edison's mouth was muttering, and he was even sweating profusely and his mouth was dry.
What is it?
This is the future, this is the future of humanity!
The future must be like this, those little glass balls will definitely change the way of life of human beings, absolutely will!
Edison was completely sure in his mind at this time, maybe he wasn't smart, but he was so sure now.
And at this time, the whole square is above......
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
The people of the empire shouted slogans as if they were crazy, and some people even began to bow down to His Majesty the Emperor on the stage, and some people started to do so, and some people followed.
"Comrades! Don't get on your knees! But even if Li Mengyang said so, it couldn't be stopped.
"Majesty!" Liszt was very emotional at this time, "This is voluntary by the people. ”
"......" Li Mengyang was speechless, because they understood that this was not good, this was a cult of personality, but this is how he, the emperor, came to power, it was difficult for him to ban this thing, and even he had to use it, make good use of it!
"Comrades!" Liszt started again at this time, "His Majesty the Emperor has brought us light!" And then, our empire will carry out a series of constructions, these glass balls, they are called light bulbs! They are powered by electricity! So, next, we're going to build a power station! We will build a power supply network, we will build a production plant! So, comrades, we will have a lot of job opportunities! ”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
This slogan doesn't need to be accepted, who doesn't understand what a job opportunity means?
Liszt laughed, and he continued: "But, you have to understand that these bulbs also need to be bought with money. ”
The words "hahaha......" are naturally a joke, who doesn't understand this?
"I'll definitely buy it!"
"With something like this, the nights are not so boring."
Obviously, buy, buy, buy!
"Comrades!" Liszt's performance is getting better and better, "Let's get motivated!" Welcome to a better tomorrow! ”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
The launch of the whole light bulb was a very, very successful event, and it was definitely a revolution that subverted the state of human life!
Because of this, this is also to change people's previous living habits, so it is necessary to hold this kind of press conference, just like a certain fruit in the future, something has to be done like this, Master Qiao has a good show, in order to make his products accepted by others, because it is very different from the previous one.
However, the reason why Li Mengyang wanted Edison to come to this grand event was that he actually had other thoughts.
You see, the days of our empire are so good, and the technology is so advanced, you kid still don't stay?
That's right, Li Mengyang's guy is bad enough, he used what was supposed to be Edison's invention, and then tempted Edison here.
But though, can this thing be successful? (To be continued......)
