Saturday afternoon, Berlin, Unter den Linden, too womb.

The Crown Princess's weekend salon was held as scheduled.

In fact, on Friday morning, Joey was already excited when he got the guest list for the Saturday afternoon salon party. The reason is simple, on the one hand, from the long list of names of invitees, Joey found several big names that were very familiar to later generations, such as Professor Hermann von Helmholtz, the greatest in the hearts of the Germans (the Helmholtz National Research Center Association, the best research center in Germany and even in the world in Joey's previous life), Professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, Professor Ernst Mach, and Professor Heinrich Rudolf Hertz.

On the other hand, even if you count Professor Robert Koch and his students, who are familiar with him, Joey can recognize less than a tenth of the names in this list, which shows that there are quite a few big people who attended the salon.

The Crown Princess's Salon is famous in Berlin, and even in the entire German cultural and scientific community, for two reasons:

For one, under the strong protection of the crown prince and his wife, any point of view of anyone at the salon can be open. Although the fierce collision of views and the sparks of friction are inevitably a little gunpowdery, those sharp and even somewhat frightening views have made many people enjoy the trembling of the soul, and the subsequent pleasure of research and creation in the fields of science and humanities.

Therefore, everyone regarded the salon of the crown princess as a battlefield where they could freely engage in fierce spiritual battles, a cultural and scientific holy place. It is precisely because of this unfettered academic freedom that the old prime minister of the empire is like a fish in his throat, and it is also an important reason why he and the crown prince have become political enemies;

The second is the generosity of the crown princess, especially for the scientific and cultural circles, which allows many people to carry out scientific research and cultural creation without financial constraints. Moreover, the Crown Princess's funding did not have as many strings attached as other private funds of the same period, and it can be said that there were basically no strings attached to most of the grantees.

It was just a private agreement with a few prominent activists of the Socialist Workers' Party: Activists, you can criticize the work of the crown prince, but you must not attack the crown prince personally. In the view of these Socialist Workers' Party activists, the crown prince had not held any important office in the government since the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and let them criticize the work of a museum director... Basically, no one would do such a boring thing.

But today it was a little different, the crown prince was about to take up the post of minister of economy of the empire, and as a long-time patron and supporter of the Socialist Workers' Party, the crown princess had to take the opportunity of this salon to communicate with these important activists again. That's why on Wednesday night, the crown princess made a special emphasis on letting Joey be the little master of the salon, because the responsibility of receiving the great gods of science will fall on Joey's shoulders, and the crown princess's important job is to receive these important political allies of the crown prince.

Looking at the list in his hand, Joey recalled his childish idea of wanting to become a god a few days ago, and not only did his face feel hot. In the era of electrification of Industry 2.0, this can never be built by one person. Industry 1.0 may be symbolized and said to be the age of watts. But the era of Industry 2.0 in history is the era of a group of people, the era of Faraday, Maxwell, Kirchhoff, Tesla, Edison, the era of Koch, Behring, Ulrich, the era of Boltzmann, Planck, Einstein, Schrödinger, the era of Hertz, Marconi, Bell, and countless other great people.

This is also an era in which a complete economic system is needed, and it is not an era in which one or two super products will dominate the world. Whether it is from heavy industry to light industry, or from agriculture to service industry, what is needed is a system, a system built on science and theory, in order to ensure that the country stands tall among the world's great powers, this is an era of comparative economic, political, military, science and technology, culture, education, and so on, whose system is stronger.

Even if you have a weapon, a super weapon, it doesn't mean that you are a strong country. Just like a certain country on the East Asian Peninsula in Joey's previous life, the people lived like salted fish, and the fat-headed fish with a strange hairstyle who took the lead lived in a chic way, even if he said that he made a hydrogen bomb, it was regarded as a big joke in the eyes of the world.

An ordinary person who has traveled more than a hundred years later may be able to write formulas that transcend this era, but few people can write the mathematical methodology of the formula verification process, and among these few people, it is precisely not Joy himself. Joey looked at the list and pondered for a long time, finally realizing that I was only a mortal after all.

"I can't be a god, but I'm not without my own strengths, and my only advantage is knowing how the world is going to move forward, including the course of science. All I need to do now is find the right people and do the right things. Especially in Germany, in the era of bright stars, I want to do so! Joey jumped to his feet, grabbed the notebook on the table and rushed out the door.

Joey went straight to his mother's office and found Sir Stokemar, the Crown Princess's private secretary, "Uncle Ernst, can you tell me about the background of everyone on this list?" Tomorrow I will receive them, not wanting to make myself appear ignorant and rude. ”

"Of course it's no problem, Qiaoqiao, I'll introduce them to you well." Sir Stokema was very pleased that Joey had taken the initiative to ask the guests about their backgrounds.

After carefully writing down the titles and departments of each guest in his notebook, Joey asked, "Uncle Ernst, can you tell us about the research directions and important achievements of these professors?" ”

"Qiaoqiao, you're stumped on me, I really don't know about this." Sir Stokema shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "But tomorrow you can ask the professors directly, I think they will be happy to tell you." ”

"Tomorrow's consultation is definitely necessary, but I still need to plan a sketch for the future today, and follow this sketch to find the help of the gods." Joey thought to himself.

So on Friday afternoon, Joey locked himself in his bedroom, planning this sketch in his mind.

"God said that there should be light, yes, I want to plan electricity first, the gods of this electric age are concentrated in Britain, the United States and Germany, and I have invited Professor Maxwell to visit Germany in the name of my mother. The great god known as the father of circuit solving, I remember is also German, if I find the Serbian Tesla, who is said to be very powerful, and leave him behind, collect these three pieces of the puzzle, hum, I can also break my wrist with Edison, the great god of the ocean. ”

"The foundation of light is to find a reliable way to generate electricity, whether it is thermal power or hydropower, we must find reliable generator sets, even internal combustion engines. Power plants already exist in this world, but they now belong to the French and Americans, and I have to get Germany to learn the power plant as soon as possible. ”

"Since Faraday invented the electric motor and the generator, the two fields of electricity and electricity have been the world's leading British, and although I have two Siemens here, it is not enough. Now everyone generates electricity and consumes electricity in DC, so AC will be the best breakthrough for Germany. I have the impression that the theory of DC motors can be applied to AC motors, so I have to look to Siemens to see if we can make better AC motors. ”

"About the exchange... Electricity, now completely unknown where Tesla is..... But does the alternating current have to go to Mr. Tesla? That's not right! I found out that alternating current is Faraday, and the father of three-phase alternating current seems to be a Russian, who also became famous in Germany, and I have to look for this Russian. As for the internal combustion engine, there are Mr. Otto and Mr. Diesel, don't worry! But what if you can't really find Tesla, or maybe he's already in the United States? ”

"I needed a way to get around Tesla...... There is no theory of the great god! Joey wrote Tesla's name heavily in his notebook and put a question mark on it.

"Light alone is not enough, Germany also needs the power of light, and that requires electricity to emit power. I need the grid, I need the transmission grid. Now it seems that German science and technology seem to have concentrated the study of electricity at the micro level, although it cannot be said that the skill tree is wrong, but it is too advanced. But fortunately, I have the impression that the first power grid designer was a Frenchman, and if the French can do the power grid design, the Germans can do it. "Joey wrote a few words about the French in grid design.
