In the end, Lucien pushed down the matter of making this plan. This is not because he is the busiest of the brothers, working twenty-four hours a day. It's that Joseph really can't trust his scientific literacy.

In the end, this matter was handed over to Joseph to take charge, of course, the specific person in charge was actually Monge. His scientific research results have been kept secret for a long time, and he is very experienced in this area.

After about a month of research and demonstration, some scientific papers related to electricity began to be published in the journal Nature of the French Academy of Sciences.

Along with the publication of these papers, two other things are moving forward at a rapid pace.

The first thing is the application and approval of a patent. The relevant technology of the patent is to be disclosed to the public, so when the relevant knowledge is still confidential, some technologies naturally do not apply for patents. But at this time, since the relevant scientific knowledge has been disclosed, the corresponding technology will naturally have to be patented, such as propellers.

In fact, although the British have been testing the propeller, and the propeller looks very simple, the propeller and the propeller are still completely different, with different construction forms, with different speeds, the efficiency of the propeller is much worse. In addition, the requirements for manufacturing accuracy of propellers are actually quite high, so if the British propellers are actually used for commercial use, at least for now, they are not competitive at all. And if the competitiveness is not enough, naturally you will not be able to get orders, and if you can't get orders, there will naturally be no more money that can be invested in scientific research. As a result, the gap in performance will continue to widen. At most, their navy will use it.

Considering that on the European continent, France, the Netherlands, the Union of the Rhine, and Prussia have all signed agreements with France on mutual recognition of patent rights, and since the patent for the propeller has been successfully applied for in France, it means that every ship built by the British that uses a propeller must pay a patent fee to the French if it wants to enter the ports of these countries. The end result will be that the British will not be able to recover the money invested in the propeller, and they can only rely on the state to support it.

The second thing that is moving fast is that France is starting to put a range of products on the market, including electric motors. A number of new power stations are being built in other parts of Europe.

These power stations are naturally bought and sold by the military-industrial complex, which not only makes more money, but also squeezes out most of the other power sources in the region. In this way, almost all the industries in this region will depend on these power plants in the future, and the military-industrial complex that controls these power plants will have a huge influence on the economy of these regions.

In addition, a few months ago, in the Sudetenland region of Prussia, new open-pit copper mines began to produce large quantities of copper. It is the best copper mine in all of Europe, shallow and high-grade, and its massive mining, combined with the new copper smelter next door, has increased European copper production by almost a quarter. And there is room for further addition.

The development of this copper mine has caused the already frighteningly high copper price in Europe to begin to fall. This also makes electricity more competitive.

On the other hand, the development of this copper mine gave Prussia a great breather. Originally, Prussia was financially overwhelmed by the issue of war reparations, but now the commissioning of this large copper mine quickly brought Prussia a large amount of income. This also created another problem for Prussia, which was that the Prussian economy began to become more and more dependent on mining.

Another effect of this move by the French is that the number of international students studying in France from various countries has begun to increase significantly. Although the French government does not give many places in terms of electricity that they want to learn about the most, what they want to know the most. However, a series of public scientific research results in electricity have further strengthened people's impression that "France's scientific level is the first in Europe". As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of students coming to learn other aspects of technology.

This is also a situation that Joseph is very happy to see. Some people have disputed this, arguing that if too many international students learn these sciences, France will lose its advantage over other countries in terms of scientific level. But this unambitious statement was immediately criticized by Joseph.

Joseph pointed out that for every international student who comes to France to study, his tuition is enough to send more than 20 children to compulsory education, or for two or three young French people to receive higher education on scholarships. In this way, it must be France. Moreover, many excellent international students will stay in France. In this way, they became part of the power of France.

"The more students come from underdeveloped areas, the more so. Because a lot of what they have learned is not very useful in their own country. Unless heroes who are extremely patriotic and willing to endure all kinds of suffering, most of them will remain in France.

This is especially true for international students who study law, art, literature, etc. When they return to their country, they will only find that their country is alien to the French to which they have become accustomed, and that we can educate them to identify with us ideologically, with the idea of our European Union. Joseph said.

Joseph said this because he had seen it with his own eyes in another time and space in his previous life, Ah Mei, you see that he used similar methods to use the entire Third World as a talent pond, and almost fished out their best students. So as to establish their own huge scientific and technological advantages. During that time, almost half of the best students from the two best schools in a large eastern country ended up working in the various universities and institutes you watched. And the other "largest democracy" is full of international students in Silicon Valley.

On the other hand, Ah Mei, you see, followed these in the same way, making his standards, his view of right and wrong, rise to the world's view of right and wrong, become a so-called "universal value", and gain a large number of fanatical supporters.

If there are no high-quality fry from these fish ponds, it will be very difficult for you to maintain its superiority in science and technology. Especially after it embarked on the evil path of playing finance and de-industrialization.

Andrei Obronsky is an international student from Russia. In France, there are many Russian students, and French universities are actually very fond of them. Of course, this is not because the French are friendlier to Russians, but because Russian students are generally wealthier. This is because almost all the students studying in Russia are aristocrats.

This is another characteristic of Russian students, which is that most of them study various arts. Because compared with the complex science and complicated jurisprudence, art and so on are too suitable for aristocratic students.

Generally speaking, art students always have a lot of free time, so on weekends at the Moulin Rouge and other places, you will always see a lot of Russian students speaking French with an accent.

But Andrei is different from them, Andrei came specifically to learn electricity.

In January, in St. Petersburg, Andrei saw the latest issue of the journal Nature from his teacher, Mr. Serpukhovskoy. André, who wanted to go to England to learn steam engine technology, was fascinated by the new gadget of electricity. So I made up my mind to come to France to study electricity.

Andrei's family was a descendant of the Lyulik royal family, and half of the Petersburg nobility, including even the Tsar, were actually relatives of their family. But when it comes to studying electricity in France, his background is basically useless. Because there are not many full-time teachers of this subject today, most of the teachers are actually engineers in the military-industrial complex. In addition, a large number of study places are occupied by the French, so it is very difficult for foreigners to obtain the qualification to study this subject, and they must beat more than 90% of competitors in the exam.

However, André still won the exam with his true strength, so he became an international student in the "electrical engineering" discipline of the University of Paris.

The teacher who taught him was said to be a student of a science master, and he was always in a hurry, and every time he finished class, he immediately grabbed the lecture notes and left, leaving only a large pile of homework for everyone. These assignments can often keep people busy until midnight. According to the seniors, it's their teachers giving back to the community. Because it is said that the big cow also likes to assign a lot of difficult homework to the students.

However, this also made Andre's life extraordinarily fulfilling, and he himself clearly felt the rise of his academic level.

Of course, this fulfilling life also led him to become the laughing stock of many classmates who were also from Russia.

"Andrei, you've been in Paris for a while, and tomorrow is Sunday again, so you won't be assigned a lot of homework by the teacher again, and you won't even be able to get out, right?" Andrei's friend Anatole smiled at him.

"Not this time. In fact, the teacher did not give us homework this time, supposedly because the teaching assistant, Mr. Denardi, was ill. You know, the homework that the teacher gave us was all graded by Mr. Denardi, and it is said that because there was no one to mark the homework, and the teacher was unwilling to let our homework backlog, he simply did not assign the homework this time. ”

"Ah, he's stupid, he could have thrown a standard answer at you." Anatole said, "By the way, that means you have time tomorrow?" Ah, I suppose you've been in Paris for so long, you've never even been to the Moulin Rouge? ”
