"Woo......"

To say goodbye to its passengers at the end of the journey, the Bria let out a high-pitched whistle and then slowly fell silent like an exhausted monster.

"Hoo ......"

After walking down the last step and standing firmly on the real 6 ground, John's legs weakened, and the whole person felt like he was about to fall apart, and he couldn't help but exhale heavily. But now was not the time to completely relax, he turned his head to look behind him, and asked with concern, "Mr. Elber, how are you feeling?" ”

"Great."

After highlighting the two words like **, Mr. Butler staggered forward two steps and stood firm with difficulty.

"Hello gentlemen, do you need help?"

At this moment, a young man dressed in short clothes stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Find two carriages and get us to a comfortable hotel!"

Without hesitation, John named the service he needed most right now. Hans the butler had just gotten dizzy from the boat after a long voyage at sea, and John was tired from taking care of the man who was supposed to take care of him, and he desperately needed a good rest.

"Yes sir!"

The young man in short clothes, who had been serving the rich gentlemen on the docks all the year round, naturally understood John's request very well, and immediately turned around and whistled, and two carriages came running over.

Before getting into the car, John couldn't help but glance back at the Bria behind him, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. On the one hand, he was glad that he had a good background in this life, and he had earned enough dollars before he left, so that he could enjoy the best room and service; On the other hand, I am also glad that it is 1882, if it were more than ten years earlier, the cruise ships in this world have not even appeared in first class, it is really a big sin!

Johann and Hans got into one carriage, and the workers put their salutes on the other wagon, and soon left the docks.

It's finally here.

Liverpool, one of the most important cities in Britain in this era.

Of course, John had heard of Liverpool in his previous life, but his impression of the city was more due to the once glorious Red Army and the Beatles, but now, Liverpool Football Club has not yet been born, and the Beatles' grandfathers do not know if they were born, it is just an important commercial center and shipbuilding center.

The feeling of exhaustion made John not have the heart to admire this world-famous city, so he arrived at a hotel that looked good, threw himself on the bed after checking in, and fell into a deep sleep......

This sleep is not out of the hotel door for three days.

John was young and physically strong enough to regain his energy after a good night's sleep, but Hans was not so lucky. Mr. Butler, who has never been far away in his life, is really tormented this time, and after three days of rest, he is still wilting, and compared with the spirit of New York City, it seems to be a different person.

John wasn't in a hurry, but after three days of rest, Mr. Butler couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sir, I think we should keep going."

After knocking on John's door in the morning, with a hint of tiredness on his face, Hans forced himself to cheer up and said: "Liverpool is still a long way from our destination, I just asked at the hotel front desk about a ship going to Hamburg tomorrow morning......"

"No, Mr. Elber, let's not go to Hamburg!"

Before the butler could finish speaking, John smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Not going to hamburg?"

When Hans heard John's words, his eyes widened with shock.

According to the agreement between John and old Huntelaar in advance, his destination for studying in Europe this time is the old man's hometown of Germany, for three to four years, but he can be allowed to travel to England, France and other countries during the holidays, but now John suddenly said that he would not go to Hamburg first, which made Mr. Butler a little puzzled and a little worried.

"Yes, let's go to London first!"

Ignoring the butler's surprise, John smiled slightly: "Since we are in England, let's stop by London and take a turn first, I am quite curious about the largest and richest city in the world...... Don't worry, Mr. Elber, it won't be delayed for long, and if you take the train, you can rest a little more, otherwise if you take the ship for a few more days tomorrow, I'm afraid your body will not be able to stand it! ”

Looking at John's concerned expression, Hans was really moved in his heart.

In terms of the identity of the two, John is the master, Hans is the butler, but on the cruise ship their roles are almost reversed, Hans, who suffers from seasickness, even takes care of himself, and needs John's care from time to time, and he has long been a little ashamed in his heart, at this time, he heard that John wanted to go to London for a walk, so he naturally nodded immediately and said: "Okay sir, then I'll book a train ticket to London later, and we'll do our best." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

With a smile, John sent his butler away.

John's interest in London is of course true, after all, Britain is now the world's hegemon, and London is the world's well-deserved political, economic and cultural center, which has a strong attraction for anyone. But John is more interested than the city by a professor who is now working at the Royal Academy in London, a famous figure in the history of world medicine!

As a surgeon, since you have come to England in this era, how can you not go to London to see this big cow?

And although Liverpool has a direct ferry to Hamburg, of course, London is more convenient when it comes to distance, and it is perfect for John to take 6 to London and then take a boat to Hamburg......

……

It wasn't until he arrived at Liverpool train station that John finally had the leisure to enjoy the scenery around him while waiting for the train.

Compared to the Grand Central train station in New York, Liverpool's train station is obviously much older, but John feels better. Especially when he saw the English gentlemen wearing high hats holding the battle of civilization and greeting each other, a feeling of "old photos" spontaneously arose.

It's just that......

"Didn't the British also understand the electric light? Why doesn't it seem to have any practical application? ”

Looking at the waiting room, which was still lit by kerosene lamps, John frowned and asked Hans in some confusion. Not only the train station in Liverpool, but the hotel they stayed in before was quite high-end, but there was no electric light, which couldn't help but make John feel a little strange.

Although Edison was the most famous of later generations, John also knew of a famous public case, which was the dispute between the British and the Americans over the lighter. When celebrating the centenary of the birth of electric light, Britain and Americans had a war of words, and they were held at different times**, because before Edison's success, an Englishman named Swann also did it, and John also knew that Edison was forced to cooperate with Swan in England.

Why did you come to Liverpool and hardly see an electric light?

Even though the cost of light bulbs is still relatively high, the average household cannot afford to use them, and it is quite difficult to supply electricity, but it has been used on a large scale in public places such as train stations and hotels in New York, so why is the United Kingdom, the world's largest power, so slow to respond?

"Because of interests."

Smiling, Hans whispered, "I once heard old Mr. Huntelaar talk about it, and it seems that the obstruction of the gas company made the exhibition of electric lights in England very uncomfortable......"

"Oh."

Hearing Hans say this, John immediately understood.

In fact, he should have been able to figure it out himself, although Britain is now extremely powerful, with colonies all over the world, but it is this power that has also brought bad consequences. The vast colonies allowed British factories to easily find a market for product dumping, so they did not have to worry about upgrading new technologies and replacing them with new machines, and the obstruction of new things by various vested interests also left Britain behind in the second industrial revolution.

"So in that respect, Germany is the right choice!"

After thinking it through, John couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If you exclude the influence of factors such as his own blood, he actually wants to choose the United Kingdom, after all, the country's advantages are too obvious. But it is a pity that Germany is the bridgehead of the medical exhibition in this era, and will maintain this advantage for a long time, until fifty or sixty years later, it will slowly be replaced by the Americans, the words of the British......

"Just go see the big cow."

Putting aside the exclamation in his heart, John looked forward to a possible meeting with Joseph Liszt.

At this moment, the loud shouts of the station staff were heard in the distance: "Gentlemen, the train from Liverpool to London has begun to board......"
