“…… Do you know what you're talking about, Mr. Graham? ”

In the office of Mr. Fass in The Lancet, David's eyes widened in surprise and exclaim, "For the sake of a paper by a physician whose name has never been heard, you have asked Mr. Fass to invite at least three busy gentlemen to discuss it?" Don't you know how much we have to pay for it? ”

"I think it's worth it!"

Without much of an argument, Mr. Graham just nodded solemnly, sticking to his point of view.

Although on the surface, David was thinking about the problem of the paper itself and the interests of the magazine, Graham had already seen at this time that this colleague, who usually had a good relationship, was only so angry at this time, probably more because he refuted the other party's opinion and insisted on his own opinion.

"You! ……”

Sure enough, David's expression suddenly became more angry, and his gaze at his colleague became more unkind.

Looking at the-for-tat quarrel between the two subordinates, Mr. Fass, who was the head of the magazine, did not stop them immediately, but looked at the thick paper on the table with a solemn face and fell into deep thought.

As a piece of paper, this one is called John? The ideas expressed by Huntelaar's authors are undoubtedly very novel, but it is precisely these ideas and conclusions that are so novel that prevent people who are bound by conventional thinking from accepting it. Like David, who is an editor of a journal himself, he is usually exposed to new ideas and new realities, and he can't accept it smoothly, let alone others.

However, in terms of Fas's own experience and vision, this paper is so special!

From the initial description of the phenomenon of blood aggregation to the analysis of clinical blood transfusion problems, from the design scheme to the collection of numbers, from the statistics of the results to the final conclusion, the structure of this paper is like a chain of extreme precision, one link after another, so that people can't find the slightest gap!

It's hard to believe that an unknown physician could write such a rigorous dissertation!

Moreover, compared to the way the paper is written, Fass naturally attaches more importance to the value contained in the content of the paper - once the ideas in the paper are established, I am afraid it will be a great milestone! The issue of blood transfusion is not mentioned for the time being, just the concept of human blood type is a field of blood physiology!

Graham undoubtedly saw this as well, so he insisted on finding himself after David's veto, asking to convene consultants in the relevant field for consultation and discussion.

"Mr. Fass, I don't think there's any need for that!"

Seeing that the top boss seemed to be quite moved by the contemplation of his superiors, David was suddenly shocked in his heart, and immediately said with a stern expression: "The author is an unknown person, and the content is a so-called speculation, I think this paper has no value at all, and it is even more meaningless to invite a few gentlemen to come and discuss." ”

Hearing David say this, Graham was also anxious, and hurriedly spoke: "Mr. Fass, I implore you to pay attention to the value of this paper, and at least do a simple verification before drawing conclusions!" ”

"Gentlemen!"

Seeing that David seemed to be angry again, Mr. Fass's face sank, and he said lightly: "I will definitely seriously consider whether this paper needs to invite others to evaluate, but for now, please let me be quiet for a while, okay?" ”

……

While the editorial office of The Lancet in London was arguing over John's paper, in the city of Berlin, the sixth year of Europe, Mr. Bergmann, a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin Medical School, was excited to send a paper entitled "Research on Several New Disinfection Methods", destined for a German medical journal in the same city.

This paper also bears John's name.

Although the first author of the paper is Bergman and John is the second author, the professor of surgery does not take the main credit for himself, but emphasizes in the paper that John is the master and advocate of several disinfection measures, and Bergman is responsible for the implementation and effectiveness of the test.

Compared to more disgusting plagiarism, Bergman is already quite benevolent.

Of course, even if his teacher completely took the credit, John would not care, these technologies were originally created by Bergman, John just traveled through time and space and returned it, just as he sold the patent for the bamboo light bulb to Edison, he had already taken advantage of it.

For John, who was on vacation, he knew nothing about either of these things.

On this day, having just returned from a visit to his cousin's house, old Huntelaar was still very excited, pulling John on the fireplace to babble about his youth, and then naturally talking about his mother Elizabeth, and the old man's affection slowly became low.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, John hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Grandpa, speaking of which, tomorrow is the day when Mr. Brister and Baron Cole will hold a ball, right?" What was the prom like in Berlin when you were younger? ”

"What can a prom be like?"

John's topic really diverted old Huntelaar's attention, and he immediately pouted with disdain: "It's just that some new dance music has appeared...... Oh, by the way, now that there are electric lights, it's a little different, and there were more and more light bulbs installed in New York City before I came, John, you've given up on a good business! ”

When he said this, old Huntelaar clicked his mouth regretfully.

Although because of the cost and the immaturity of power plant technology, the sales volume of light bulbs is still not very high, and only some hotels and wealthy families can afford to install them, but after all, it is also a business of hundreds of thousands a year, and it is likely to reach millions or even tens of millions per year in the future.

"What's there to regret about this?"

John was a little unimpressed by old Huntelaer's words, shook his head and said casually: "Bamboo light bulbs, I can come up with a better substitute at any time, and after they popularize electric lights, and people also develop the habit of using electric lights, wouldn't it be better for me to go in again?" ”

"Do you have a better Ming?"

Old Huntelaar's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

His grandson, Old Huntelaar, still knows very well and knows how capable this kid is, so it is not surprising that he has come to Germany for more than a year.

There was nothing to hide in front of his grandfather, John nodded with a smile and said: "Yes grandfather, I have newly designed a new type of bulb, which is much stronger than bamboo bulbs in terms of brightness and life, but the production cost is basically the same......"

"Do you have a sample?"

Hearing his grandson say this, old Hunt Laal suddenly became interested and asked with great interest. Under John's deliberate guidance, he also put his daughter's affairs behind him for the time being.

John nodded in satisfaction and took his grandfather into his room.

The simple light bulb sample John had indeed made a long time ago, and it was closer to the incandescent light bulb of later generations in terms of shape and structure, and it was basically the final form. At the curious urging of old Huntelaar, John connected the light bulb to a homemade test battery, and soon lit up the only sample.

"Sizzle......"

When the light bulb lit up in the dark room, old Huntelaar couldn't help but gasp!

Indeed, as John said, this new type of bulb is much brighter, and I don't know if it is the cause of the illusion, the old Huntelaar feels that this light is very comfortable, unlike the bamboo light bulb that always gives people a gray, as if covered with a film of feeling!

Stepping forward to examine the bulb carefully, old Huntelaar asked with a look in his eyes: "John, I think it is indeed slightly different from ordinary light bulbs, so the difference is mainly the structural improvement?" ”

"Of course not, the main change is the change of filament material."

Looking at his grandfather's curious look at the light bulb, John secretly felt a little funny, and shook his head with a smile.

The emergence of bamboo filament bulbs means that the human world has entered the era of electric lighting, but the factors that really make the bulb enter thousands of households are not only the promotion of electricity, the reduction of costs and the economic exhibition, but also the emergence of tungsten bulbs is also an extremely important reason - higher brightness, longer life and more convenient manufacturing process!

That's the good stuff John left for himself.

And......

"Grandpa."

As if he suddenly remembered something good, John had a rather strange smile on his face, leaned over to his grandfather and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Mr. Edison should be busy building his power supply system now, right?" The result? ”

Before John came to Berlin, the Edison Electric Light Company had already begun to build a power station in New York City, and the publicity was very lively at that time, and the elder Huntelaar also made a special comment on this, saying that Edison's power plant had a bright future. However, John remembers that Edison did not succeed because he insisted on promoting his direct current and denigrating alternating current, which eventually caused the electric light company to be swallowed and directly gave birth to the giant General Electric......

"It's okay, it should be quite profitable."

After a moment's hesitation, old Huntelaar came to a conclusion on the matter. For a qualified businessman, his criterion for looking at things is whether he earns money or not, and the criterion for evaluation is as simple as that!

But from the old Huntelaar's hesitation, John saw some clues.

"Maybe the disadvantages of direct current are starting to be revealed, right?"

Thinking of this reason, John raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you said that if we are also opening a power supply system like Edison, and then collect electricity bills all over the world?" ”

"What did you say?"

After hearing his grandson's words, old Hunt Laarden was stunned.

John smiled and leaned over and said, "I mean, if we come together with this new type of light bulb, it should be very promising, right?" ”

"Who's going to build it? Do you still understand this? ”

Old Huntelaar hurriedly shook his head and smiled bitterly, and directly vetoed John's suggestion.

However, John is not an easy person to give up, he spread his hands and smiled: "I don't understand, but I know someone does!" In fact, this person is probably in the United States right now, and you can look for it when you get back......"
