India telegraphed with the Straits Settlements. It was also a time of excitement for the British government's Indian Control Commissioners, who were finally able to command the Governor more effectively. The news that the British Telegraph Company had established and reserved 5% of the shares for the Viceroy of India, Dalhousie, easily spread to India, and the 5% shares were remarkable, and the initial investment was only 5,000 pounds, and now it can contribute tens of thousands of pounds of income to Dalhousie every year, which is a high income that cannot be underestimated for any local tycoon.

It is conceivable that, in such a situation, the Chancellor of the Exchequer recommended Downing to be the Governor of the Straits Settlements, and the Governor would choose to do so, of course, unconditionally. The burden of Singapore's unprofitable burden is being thrown to Tang Ning, the real tyrant governor.

However, Downing is not going to take up his post now, he still has a lot of things to attend to in London, many projects are in full swing, and he will probably go to Singapore in four or five years.

The history of transoceanic telegraphy was France, Prussia, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, India, Singapore. Now, with Shanghai, Melbourne and Nagasaki in Japan, the first phase of Downing's planned international telegraph network is complete.

Thanks to the improvement of the transatlantic telegraph network, the Telegraph has also become a truly international newspaper, and through Reuters' powerful international information service, the Telegraph is the most detailed newspaper in the international news, and the Times, whose status has been challenged, finally knows that it is powerful and begins to buy Reuters' services. Once the Times endorsed Reuters, other tabloids followed suit, and Reuters' intelligence network was even more dynamic and dynamic.

With the intelligence in control, the world is in control, but mastering the world is not Downing's ultimate goal. Making the world happier is what he loves. The three-year-old Princess Louise slapped her little slap and cheered in his heart when the small model of steelmaking technology was displayed in the Stobe Garden that night, and when the Queen attended the celebration of the Indian Telegraph, he remembered little Louise again. The child and the small model were superimposed, and he came up with the idea of inventing "Lego bricks".

The original and most classic form of Lego bricks is very simple, that is, it imitates bricks with a two-to-one aspect ratio, and the basic components are tightly combined, which can prevent falls and allow children to disassemble. Once a small brick has such a property, it can produce an infinite number of combinations. It is a toy, a joy generator, a production tool, and a unique inspiration for architects.

In the later stages of Lego bricks, the more molds there are, the more uses. Downing used to be very fond of all kinds of factories with Lego bricks, and he once used thousands of Lego bricks to "build" a super assembly line full of them in his room, and he also used it to build a fairly complete aircraft carrier battle group. This little toy carries a lot of good memories of little Downing, and he hopes that the children in this world can also experience his happiness.

Why is he so fond of using small models to show his inventions? Because he grew up playing with Lego! He knows how an intuitive product mockup can shock visitors.

Why does Downing remember so many classic industrial production methods? In addition to his amazing memory, this hand-built experience is also an important reason, and the "memory of the hand" is a fairly important memory, or motor memory.

Lego bricks are not only fun, but also educate children, and if they want to run a school in the future, they will use Lego brick competitions to select children with strong hands-on skills.

Children will have different talents, some will have gifts in language, and they will be the middle force in Downing's internationalist program. The murderous colonial era will continue for a long time, but these international elites, cultivated by Downing himself, will be the backbone of the end of the Dark Ages. It's too early to talk about how to educate about internationalism, and it all starts with that simple English course. Internationalization is only possible if the language problem is solved.

For this little tutorial, Downing can be described as painstaking. He asked five renowned linguists, each of whom was responsible for writing their own set of tutorials, but they worked together to develop a test plan to find the best one from student feedback.

With a large amount of land, Downing often felt lonely here, despite the fact that more than two hundred of his employees worked here. He decided to carve out a piece of space in the Stove Garden to build a London International School. This unprecedented school park will integrate orphanages, primary schools, middle schools, and universities, as well as higher education and vocational education, providing talents for Downing's factories and companies. The textbooks used here are all approved by Downing himself, there is no religion, no art, but there is industrial design, no literature, but there is history, and the goal is to train outstanding craftsmen, engineers, scientists, and designers.

With the investment of local tycoons, it will develop into the best school in the world, and its facilities are also quite luxurious, with a large library, a large football field, a large gymnasium, and a large auditorium...... The only thing that doesn't have it is the church. Religion is a very important thing in this era and country, and it is estimated that a university park without a church will be criticized, so this school garden is also an orphanage, to minimize the interference of parents who represent ignorance and backwardness in Downing's eyes, and even if they have parents, it is better not to be in London, or even abroad. Therefore, it is called the International School Park.

The International Academy implements bilingual teaching, learning English and the language of the student's home country, and learning an additional foreign language if it is a British child. In order to reflect the international environment, the dormitories, cafeterias, classrooms and other buildings here are built in a variety of architectural styles, which is not only a large exhibition of architectural design, but also makes children feel at home.

While employing educators to write his own curriculum and building a school, Downing announced to the world in the Telegraph that he would adopt 100,000 orphans around the world in five to ten years "to repay his parents for their nurturing kindness"!

No one has ever done such a gigantic charity that has stunned the whole world. This is not a man of empty words, he has already been called "the first philanthropist in history" for donating 1.5 million to the British Parliament to repair London's sewers, and this time, he is even more ambitious. What is even more amazing is that he made it clear that the 100,000 people will be recruited according to the proportion of the global population. Did you hear that? This means that Chinese children, Indian children, African children will account for a huge proportion. It's crazy! You know, it's still an era when the slave trade is all the rage. As the news broke, the whole planet was discussing this project, which may be controversial, but must be extremely great.

His "orphanage" is different from ordinary orphanages, and has certain requirements for children's intelligence and health. He would set up international schools in Shanghai, Kolkata, Cape Town and other cities, and only children with the most outstanding intelligence would be sent to London. To this end, he also personally prescribed the questions of the intelligence test, including the hands-on ability to build Lego bricks.

LEGO bricks also appeared with this hilarious event. This little thing is formed by acetate thermoplastic, which is very difficult to develop, and Downing quickly got it, and after testing, it has entered the mass production stage.

The first batch of products is mainly architecture, collecting nine world architectural styles such as ancient Greece, ancient Rome, Byzantium, Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and neoclassicism.

The world's first and largest LEGO store opens in North Wick Park, which will be the intersection of the world's first subway station. The LEGO store in North Wick holds a brick building competition every day, and 10 winners will receive a set of LEGO brick prizes. Contestants are also divided into children's group and adult group, the watershed is 12 years old, the winner of the adult group will be eligible to enter the British Telegraph Company, British Steel Company, Lego company paid internship, is a good means of job hunting, you know, BT and BS are one of the hottest companies in the UK today, good accommodation, good food, high salary, with work-related injury insurance, but also the implementation of an eight-hour work system, two days off, and paid annual leave!

In those days, only Downing's company could offer such good treatment, and the British 10-hour work limit for workers under the age of 18 in 1847 had failed! For in 1850 the restriction was in fact rejected by the adoption of a system in which overtime could be worked in an emergency, without the authority of the factory inspectors.
