"Delegate to someone else?"

After hearing Mr. Huntelaar's sincere advice, Edison was stunned and asked, "Young man, can you answer me a question first?" How did you know that the life of a light bulb depends on the material of the filament? ”

Looking at the young man with a young face in front of him, Edison's heart was quite surprised.

The principle of light bulb lighting is not a secret, after all, the structure is not complicated, and many professionals can understand it after careful study. But the person who said this in front of him was only an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and being able to say this could not help but make him suspicious.

Equally astonished, of course, were the others around him, especially the elder Huntelaar, whose slightly dim eyes suddenly burst out with two glints, quietly looking at his strange grandson today, waiting for him to answer Edison's question.

"Because I learned a little bit about physics."

John was not moved by the astonishment of the others, and after a slight pause, he said, "Mr. Edison, in my understanding, light and heat are inseparable twin brothers, so I suspect that your light bulb must be a heavy burden on the filament when it shines so intoxicatingly......"

"Wow!"

Before John could finish speaking, Edison had already screamed with round eyes!

The others around him were confused and didn't quite understand what John's words meant, but Edison knew very well that this kid immediately grasped the point and hit the nail on the head.

The electric lamp was not Edison's Ming, but a patent bought from someone else, but in order to be able to launch today's Ming, which can last for dozens of hours, he experimented with thousands of substances before and after, spent more than 100,000 US dollars, and almost bankrupted himself halfway through, before finding a material that waives relatively slowly in high heat.

For a boy of John's age, it was quite a great thing to know that!

Seeing Edison's picture, the people around him were shocked at the same time, knowing that what John said was probably really true. Old Huntelaar was naturally surprised and delighted, but Emma swallowed hard and foamed, and a complicated taste of admiration or jealousy appeared in her heart......

The surprised Edison looked at John, who was full of confidence, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and laughed: "Young man, you don't want to sue me, you want to help me solve the problem of materials, right?" ”

"Isn't that possible?"

John asked with a wink.

"Hahahaha......"

This time it was not only Edison, but everyone else in the neighborhood was also happy, Mrs. Stone covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughing "flowers and branches", and the plumpness on her body was like waves wave after wave, which made many gentlemen around suddenly straighten their eyes!

"What's going on?"

The laughter in his ears shocked John for a while and was dumbfounded.

For John Huntelaar, who has the memory of Liu Zecheng, the filament material that Edison later chose is well-known in the world, and when he was in high school, he also joined the physics interest group of his age, but he once assembled a real light bulb with the help of a physics teacher and lit it! Therefore, it seemed to him that it was natural for him to say such things.

But it is clear that he has forgotten, or rather overestimated, the times he is in!

The United States in this era is not the big country in the previous life with many world-class universities and extremely advanced education. To be precise, the United States is still in an era where there are only a handful of illiterate people and scientifically trained people. Although in the eyes of some real scientists, Edison's work was not science at all, and at best it was just a repeat experiment, but for others it was already very high-minded......

"Young man, I want to thank you for your kindness."

Edison patted John on the shoulder and smiled happily: "But I think this kind of work should be left to adults, at least when I was your age, I didn't think about doing such an important thing in the past, haha!" ”

"Hahahaha......"

Hearing Edison's words, a low laugh rang out around him.

Everyone heard the meaning of Edison's words, but in this laughter, some people were full of disdain, some people were just kind to echo, and some people were probably full of malice in their laughter.

"Mr. ......"

With a slight flush on his face, John's fists clenched and loosened, but he finally took a deep breath and prepared to explain to Edison in detail.

"I'm sorry guys, but please allow me to miss me."

At this time, Edison suddenly saw a gentleman coming in at the door, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said a few words in a hurry, and walked quickly to the gate.

Completely ignoring John's next words.

The faint red tide, as if the temperature had risen suddenly, spread rapidly across John Huntelaar's face, and his eyes followed Thomas Edison's figure closely, and the expression on his face sank rapidly!

"John, don't take it personally."

Looking at the sneering or sympathetic eyes of the people around him, old Huntelaar sighed secretly, stepped forward and patted his grandson's shoulder and whispered, "It's not early, let's go back to the hotel." ”

Unfortunately, John's mind was full of surprise and anger at this time, and he did not hear his grandfather's comfort at all. The anger of being despised made him bite his lip hard, and he suddenly shouted in a loud voice, "Mr. Edison, what would you do if I really found a new filament material, and it was much better than your Ming?" ”

As if someone had suddenly drained all the air, John's neighborhood quickly fell silent.

Thomas Edison also heard this, and his steps stopped, and he turned his head to look at John in great surprise, and soon laughed again: "Haha! Well, if you do find that good material, I'll buy it for $20,000, and I will do it......"

……

On the way back to the hotel, no one spoke.

Mrs. Stone and Emma did not come back with them, they continued to fill the scene with Edison, and seeing the gloomy faces of the two hosts, Hans did not speak, but only carried a kerosene lamp to show the old and the young the way back to the hotel.

It wasn't until he was almost at the hotel that John's iron-clad face gradually recovered.

Hearing his grandson's breathing turn from heavy to light, from rapid to gentle, old Huntelaar secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally relieved himself. Although he was usually quite indifferent to his grandson, but now everyone knows that it is because the old Mr. Huntelaar still has not forgiven his daughter Elizabeth, and at the same time is a little unbearable, in fact, he is extremely concerned about the only heir of the Huntelaar family in this world, and the housekeeper Hans has already confirmed this.

What's more, John's table is also extremely good, isn't it?

"Gentlemen, do you want something to eat?"

When he reached the entrance of the hotel, Hans took two steps forward and said cautiously: "Because of the exhibition, the hotel will serve dinner until ten o'clock these days, and there is still time." ”

Old Huntelaar looked at his grandson, and John waved his hand almost immediately, "I don't need to, I'm a little tired, I want to go up and rest early." ”

"I'm not going to eat either, let's go up together."

Old Huntelaar narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave a faint order.

"Yes, sir."

Mr. Butler sighed helplessly, although he was very hungry, but he had to accompany the two masters upstairs first.

"John!"

Just as John opened the door with the key and was about to enter the house to rest, his grandfather's deep voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Sir, is there anything else?"

John was in a rather bad mood at this time, but he still turned his head, smiled reluctantly, and asked respectfully at his grandfather.

Old Huntelaar's room was at the opposite door from him, and at this moment, the old man looked at his grandson with a solemn face, and asked in a deep voice, "John, what did you say to Mr. Edison just now...... Are you serious? ”

"Uh......"

John was slightly stunned, a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes sir, I'm serious!" ”

"Good!"

A smile bloomed on Yan Sù's face, and old Huntelaar slammed his cane on the floor and said loudly: "If you are serious, then I will give you a sum of money, you can buy anything you need, to show your so-called new materials!" ”

"What did you say?!"

John asked, his eyes widened with some suspicion of his ears.

Haha laughed, the old Huntelaar seemed to be twenty years younger in an instant, and hammered his chest with his left fist and said: "The man of the Huntelaar family, as long as you want to do it, just let it go!" I'm going to see if this Edison will actually come up with $20,000......"
