Because Kashmir was located on the North Indian border at this time, and even the bank network had not arrived, so the agreement between Tang Ning and Qi Taiyu was simply a gentleman's agreement, the world was so big, Tang Ning didn't know where to go, so Qi Taiyu left two addresses for Tang Ning, one was his hometown in Shanxi, and the other was a relative's house in Lhasa.

Downing sold half of his cashmere to a Shathush merchant in Kashmir and made a hundred pounds, which was a good amount of money, more than the annual salary of a manager in a bank branch in England, and he could live in a luxurious hotel for a year, and he began to think about the next step in his life.

He could go southwest to Mumbai, a large city in the western part of the Indian subcontinent, where the fastest boat ride to Europe was possible. (India, a large triangular land surrounded by the ocean, is smaller than the continent and larger than the peninsula, hence the name subcontinent.) But there is no need to rush to Europe, since you have come to India, why not even visit Calcutta, the capital of British India? Maybe the identity problem can be solved there, after all, it is the economic and administrative center of India.

Eventually, he headed in the direction of Calcutta, taking with him a large bag full of gold coins (one gold coin a pound).

After a long journey, he finally walked from the mountains to the hinterland of the subcontinent plain, although this road was long, but it was more comfortable than the trip to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the thin air on the roof of the world was not something ordinary people could bear.

Seeing that there were more and more British, he often went to talk about it. His half-European, half-Asian appearance is very confusing, but as soon as he speaks English, the other party usually recognizes him as British, and then there is a pleasant exchange, he stays in the best local hotels, and meets people with status, these people are naturally more humble to each other, and now is the golden age of communication, don't be reluctant to pay for this accommodation.

The Governor of the East India Company was the de facto leader of India, but the local Mughal Empire had always existed, and Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire, located in northwestern India, and was the first city in Downing interested in staying a little longer.

His interest was not in the declining Indian aristocracy, but in the multitude of Britons in Delhi, where he spent twenty days largely eliminating his American English and transforming it into British English, and now his goal was to become a citizen of the British Empire, for these days he had the confidence to confuse the British with his race, and even more so if he were to be dyed a golden retriever.

For a British friend who was very chatty, Downing also borrowed his passport for a look, there was no concept of passport at that time, and after some communication, the concept of "pass" was clarified, and the pass at that time was just a piece of paper, which was really easy to forge.

Downing's Swiss Army Knife is a variable, with one mode imitating a seal and another imitating a key, which means that Downing can be a fraudster and a thief. Such a full-featured Swiss Army knife is forbidden, and the executive who sent him to this era to buy him is of course limited in function, but this kind of functional limitation can limit others, not the genius of cracking, God, he was exiled by time and space because he cracked the most difficult and unbreakable restriction in the world. I didn't expect to come to this world and this skill would still be useful.

It took him three days and three nights to crack the restricted Swiss Army knife, and now, he can be a big fraudster and a big thief.

The thief infiltrated the room of the British friend who had kindly lent him a pass to observe and stole the "paper". After checking his forged pass many times, he was finally relieved that a British devil was born out of nothing, and a bright future was shining on him.

The next day, he quietly returned the stolen pass to his British friend, and without saying goodbye, he went to Calcutta, the heart of India.

The most lucrative commodity in India is opium, which was originally produced in Bengal. The city of Kolkata is on the edge of Bengal and may have been linked to the opium trade.

When it comes to opium, Chinese think of the Opium War, of the evil of the British devils using drugs to make huge profits from China, in fact, the British themselves did not ban opium throughout the 19th century, when smoking opium was as common as smoking. In addition to importing opium, the British Medical Association also set up a medal to promote the cultivation of domestic opium. On the one hand, the British government exports Indian opium, which contains 4%-6% morphine, to China, and on the other hand, imports Turkish opium, which contains up to 10%-13% morphine, for use in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.

On the contrary, the Chinese discovered the danger of opium relatively early, and there have been anti-smoking measures since the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Coming to the opium capital, will Tangning, the "big drug lord", return to his old business because of profits? Alas, this is really wronged Mr. Downing, in fact, he just cracked the limit of intelligence, and chemical knowledge is only one of the multiple functions of the machine after cracking, how did he know that he had become a "big drug lord". Yes, he is not very interested in being a drug lord, this kind of criminal business will sooner or later withdraw from the mainstream of society, he doesn't want to become a non-mainstream, and finally got the status of a British citizen, he must make good use of it, and live a life in this other world to the fullest.

In the Victorian era, Britain accounted for 60% of the world's industrial output, which was stronger than the United States in the era of the superpower, and it was an excellent start to be able to disguise itself as a "British citizen".

What's more, he stayed in Kolkata at the best hotel in the whole of the Orient - the Auckland Hotel. Auckland is the title of a Governor.

I made two suits and wandered around the lobby of the Auckland Hotel, enjoying the service of an Indian hostess, which was quite a bit of a high-class gentleman. Tang Ning was tall and handsome, confident and gentlemanly, and the waitresses wanted to give him special treatment, but Tang Ning was more soft-hearted to women and refused to accept them lightly, so he waved his sleeves and did not take away a cloud.

Looking at the beautiful blue sky, Downing suddenly thought, no, in this era, it seems that London has a notoriety as the "fog capital", should you go? If you don't go, and you don't want to, London is the center of the whole era. Or, to the suburbs? Or, go to Cambridge, near London, and become a professor at Cambridge University, and have status without enjoying the abomination of the fog. With the solid knowledge of science and engineering in Downing's head, let alone a professor at Cambridge, it is no problem to be a great master of science. His knowledge is too much beyond this era, not to mention a scientist, it is no problem to create a religion and be the supreme god, thinking of this, he smiled.

Which technique did he choose as his first "miracle" in this world?

As an empire on which the sun never sets in the Age of Discovery, the British must have hysterically longed for technological advances in transportation and communication to strengthen the ties between the colonies and the British mainland. So, he set his sights on communications. In conversation with the English gentlemen, he learned that there was no telegraph line in India at that time. Today's most high-tech representative, the cable telegraph, is not cheap, and the construction of a line often has to be carefully considered and tested. If the wireless telegraph can be made to save the trouble of building the line, not only will the cost be greatly reduced, but it will also be able to cross the ocean, and the British in India will be happy to death.

Tang Ning suddenly had an idea, it is better to let the East India Company support his own reality, without the support of a strong organization, he is really tired of running around alone, it is difficult to find material suppliers and craftsmen, and through the cooperation with the East India Company, he can integrate into the world and mainstream British society faster.

It was feasible to develop a demonstrative radio transceiver in a short period of time with a guò molecular separator and a universal Swiss army knife, and with this product, it was possible to negotiate cooperation with the East India Company.

The industry standard for batteries in this era is that Daniel batteries can only produce 1. The voltage of 1 volt, the lack of various components, and the lack of electromagnetic theory also pose obstacles to the training of engineers, and it is obvious that it will take a lot of effort to manufacture radio equipment on a large scale. These efforts are not seen as a daunting path in the eyes of this tech-obsessed Dr. MIT, but rather as a wonderful way of life to find direction and immerse himself in it, which is how he has always lived.

Due to the two opium wars, Chinese society has long been hostile to the East India Company, and many nationalists have constantly smeared the British East India Company, calling it "the most bullish triad in history", and even ignoring the fact that opium was banned in Britain itself until the 20th century, in fact, it was not until 1914 that under the leadership of the International Opium Commission, 34 countries signed a convention to prohibit the production and trade of opium. The First and Second Opium Wars took place in 1840 and 1856 respectively.

This is not to excuse the drug trade, but only to show that the moral burden of the British "gentlemen" who fought the Opium War at that time was not so great. (http：／/）。 The East India Company, which was a private company in the early days, was a quasi-national institution, but its economic benefits were not as high as everyone thought. In 1770, due to the severe decline in human resources caused by the famine in Bengal, the East India Company had to turn to the British government for help due to economic difficulties, and by the time the East India Company Act of 1773 was enacted, the de facto management had been transferred from private individuals to the British Parliament.

The East India Company was also a source of constant trouble, trying to monopolize the tea trade in North America, which angered freedom-loving Americans and led to the "Boston Tea Party" and the subsequent American War.

In present-day India, the East India Company is implementing a dangerous policy of "loss of power without heirs", meaning that princely states are directly placed under the rule of the East India Company without a direct succession to the throne, refusing to allow the princes to choose an heir without an heir. The danger of this policy was that the East India Company had not only exploited the common people, but had also harmed the interests of the Indian aristocracy, who had been the little friends of the British, who had cultivated the armies of these little partners and used them to expand their territory, and whose armies had unwittingly outnumbered the British.

Downing is not very clear about the historical details of the East India Company, only that this is a large base of the British Empire in the East, the company should be quite rich, and because of the close trade with China, it will be convenient to return to the real motherland with the East India Company in the future. So, he went to visit the governor with the "little invention".
