If Scrooge's coma hit anyone the hardest, it would probably be the University of Cleveland's experts in science and engineering. Some of them saw Scrooge as their best friend in their careers, like Maxwell. Historically, the Grand Arcanist, who laid the foundations of modern physics with Newton, died of cancer in 1789 at the age of 48. But at this time, maybe it's because the environment at the University of Cleveland is better - although there are not many industries in Cleveland in this time and space, and there are also a lot of polluting people. But Scrooge did a lot of thought about the location of these industries. Keep these industries as far away from the upwind direction as possible from the University of Cleveland. Maxwell's health has always been good, at least not at all, he doesn't look like he's going to get cancer.

Ever since the news of Scrooge's assassination broke, Maxwell had wanted to visit Scrooge in the hospital. Maxwell and Rockefeller were not the same, Rockefeller had all kinds of concerns at the time, but Maxwell did not. Maxwell, in particular, was so heartbroken that he heard that Scrooge had fallen into a deep coma and might have a hard time waking up, and he said to his wife; "When I heard this desperate news, I felt like I was half dead all at once."

Fortunately, the University of Cleveland is also very good at medicine (because they have a top affiliated hospital, Salvation Hospital). So Maxwell took a rare break from his job, found a colleague who worked in medical school, consulted the professor about the deep coma, and then left Cleveland even more rarely, and went to Duckburg to find Dorothea and Carol and ask them to allow him to meet Scrooge. And Maxwell also claimed that he had come up with a good idea that might help wake up Scrooge.

If it were anyone else, Carol and Dorothea would have found all sorts of reasons to prevaricate. But against a warm-hearted man like Maxwell, they really couldn't refuse him. As a result, Dorothea had to agree to go with Maxwell to visit Scrooge, who was "in a coma". It's just that because of some damn business, Mr. Maxwell has to stay in Duck Castle for another day, and then go to Salvation Hospital to visit Scrooge the next day.

The most crucial reason why he had to go back the next day was, of course, to give Scrooge time to rush back to the "Salvation" hospital to pretend to be unconscious. After all, it is necessary to get close to each other, Maxwell and Scrooge are very familiar with each other, and if he gets a stand-in or something, Scrooge is worried that Mr. Maxwell will find out. Scrooge wasn't worried that Mr. Maxwell would intentionally reveal the secret, but the problem was that Mr. Maxwell couldn't hide the secret at all. Although Mr. Maxwell's IQ is definitely superior to that of Scrooge and most of the people in this world, the part of his IQ that can be separated and paid attention to is not much more than that of a child. In this sense, many scientists are indeed very much like children.

……

The next afternoon, Maxwell, accompanied by Dorothea, finally met Scrooge in a "deep coma" under the highest level of protection.

Mr. Maxwell tried to shout Scrooge twice, but Scrooge didn't respond, and came up with his "good idea"

"Dr. Toldo told me that a person who is in a deep coma can often be awakened by the things that concern him the most, and to which he has devoted the most energy and emotion. So, I thought, what are the things that Mr. Macdonald is most concerned about? That must be science. So, I thought, if I just go to Mr. MacDonald and talk to him about the cutting-edge science, and read him Nature or Science, oh, and the Lancet articles, maybe that will wake up Mr. MacDonald. ”

Maxwell said as he sat down next to the "unconscious" Scrooge, and took out several magazines from the small bag beside him.

"Which one should I read first?" Or maybe it's Science. Maxwell said to himself, "Scrooge, there's an interesting article here, called 'A Mathematical Model of the Possible State of the Light Aether.' I think it's interesting, I'll read it to you......"

Maxwell's move was beyond Scrooge's and Dorothea's expectations. So poor Scrooge had no choice but to lie honestly on the hospital bed and pretend to be unconscious. Although no matter how hard you try, you will never wake up a person who is pretending to be unconscious, but pretending to be unconscious, especially pretending to be in a deep coma, is not a simple matter. Because deep coma is not the same as falling asleep, you can move when you are asleep, but you can't move when you are in a deep coma. It's not easy to let a big living person sleep motionless on the bed, it's okay for a while and a half, and no one can stand it for a long time. However, Mr. Maxwell's reading of this paper is relatively long, and it takes about half an hour just to read it, but Mr. Maxwell not only reads it, but also comments on it. What is this "idea is a little interesting", what "it is not impossible to deal with it this way, but obviously the author does not think enough about the ** aspect", what "I don't understand, why did he choose such a bulky mathematical tool". If it weren't for the fact that Scrooge's eyes were always closed, it is estimated that he would have drawn a lot of pictures for Scrooge to see.

In this way, it would not have been possible to finish it in half an hour, and even as he read it, Mr. Maxwell was so inspired that he actually asked Dorothea and the doctor for pen and paper. It was at Scrooge's bedside that the calculations began. As a result, it took a whole afternoon to read such a paper.

During this afternoon, Scrooge lay motionless on the hospital bed. It's especially easy to fall asleep when you're in bed, especially someone like Scrooge, who has been busy with all kinds of schemes these days and sleeps late every day. However, Scrooge must not fall asleep, because once he does, he will snore and roll over. Therefore, in order not to fall asleep, he was reluctant to give himself a small piece of "strong pills". If you harm others and yourself, you will kill yourself.

Since I can't sleep, I can only think about it. But Mr. Maxwell was talking about all kinds of physics and mathematical problems next to him, which made Scrooge's brain unconsciously dragged by him. With this gentleman, he played this kind of thing that eats the most brain processing power. In order not to fall asleep, Mr. Maxwell was there babbling, and Scrooge was there with his eyes closed and calculating. Damn, Maxwell still has pen and paper, Scrooge doesn't have anything. You can only do mental math in your head. As a result, Scrooge's brain was at 100 percent load for several hours. My whole head hurts.

"Sure enough, the Grand Arcanist or something, it's terrifying! Who said that the Earth is not a magical plane and has no magical attacks? Mr. Maxwell's set is a typical human immobilization technique plus mental magic attack! Taking advantage of Mr. Maxwell's visit to the bathroom, Scrooge couldn't help but complain.

After reading the paper, Maxwell was a little disappointed to see that Scrooge still didn't respond. However, Professor Toldo had told him not to expect a one-time event, which often requires persistence. According to Professor Toldo, a man who had also fallen into a deep coma woke up after more than a decade of calls from his wife.

"Mrs. MacDonald, I'm also very busy with work, and I'm afraid I don't have time to read Mr. MacDonald's papers often." Maxwell said to Dorothea, "Some of these magazines that I have circled, and these are the latest achievements in the field that Scrooge has studied, and I guess you are very busy, so you can ask a college student or something to read to him every day." Maybe it will work. Every month in the future, I will pick some of these magazines and mark and comment on the relevant papers. Then I asked my students to help bring them to the hospital. Ah, Mrs. MacDonald, whose hands do you say it would be more convenient to hand this thing over? ”

"Leave it to Dr. Heim." Dorothea replied.

……

As soon as Mr. Maxwell's front foot left, Scrooge jumped out of bed.

"It's horrible, it's horrible! Mr. Maxwell is simply horrible! God forbid, if he reads two more papers, my head will explode with a thud, like someone has put a hand in my head. Thunder the same. It's horrible! ”

Listening to Scrooge's exaggerated language, Dorothea couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"You're too good at exaggerating! How can it be so powerful? I was there just now, and I didn't feel that way at all. As you say, isn't Mr. Maxwell more powerful than the DuPont Assassins? ”

"Of course you don't feel it, because you don't understand it at all. Your math is barely able to cope with ordinary everyday applications, and you can't even understand calculus, so you certainly won't feel it. "As for the assassins of the Dupont family, how old is that?" Not to mention those assassins, even the entire Dupont family, what can they be compared to a grand arcanist like Mr. Maxwell? Those Assassins played with physical attacks at most, and had a whole host of defenses. But when Mr. Maxwell reads his dissertation, it is a completely magical attack, and there is no means of defense at all. It's horrible! ”

……

While Scrooge and Dorothea lamented how they had survived from Mr. Maxwell's magical attack, Edison was at his home to receive an old friend.
