"Friends, welcome back from afar, I am here to offer you my most sincere wishes, may our friendship last forever! Cheers! Wang raised his glass of red wine and said in a loud voice.

Everyone cheered.

The dinner was attended by Jack Sparrow, Augustine Elton, Francis Naide, and Charlie Farma. In addition to them, there were Qing merchants, Zhang Quanfu, general manager of the Antai Grain Processing Factory, Li Yuzhen, general manager of Dashang Silver Furnace, Guo Yuanwang of Dashang Cement Factory, Shen Wanzhou of Dashang Culture Company, Chu Huai'an of Dashang Glass Optics Company, and Yang Qianniu of Dashang Animal Husbandry and Dairy Products Company.

"Oh, my dear friend, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've grown taller again!" Augustus came to Wang Yi's side, a German who was usually a bit stereotypical, with a warm smile on his face at this time. However, he was followed by another German, who was not young, but he was afraid that he was in his sixties, and Wang Yi did not recognize it.

"Who is this?"

"I'll introduce you, this is Carl Zeiss!"

Wang Yi just took a sip of wine and almost squirted out, his eyes widened. To be honest, it has been more than half a year since I came back, and this is the first time Wang Yi has seen a celebrity in history. Wang Yi was very excited, the reason was very simple, who doesn't know Zeiss's lens! Before the crossing, Wang Yina was an authentic photography enthusiast, although there were not many opportunities to use Zeiss lenses, but he also had some understanding of the development history of lenses. Of course, Wang Yi is more partial to photography itself, but he is more focused on female body shooting, that is, national models. I have shot with a group and alone. When art is sublimated to a certain level, there will be a kind of spiritual stirring similar to the resonance of life between Wang Yihui and Guomo, and this feeling will gradually expand, and then transmit to the body, just like the water waves on the lake, obsessed with each other, embracing each other, and unable to extricate themselves!

But the only regret is that every morning the next day, the national model sisters and sisters will always collect money from Wang Yi, saying that it is a package, originally a thousand, seeing that Wang Yi's work is not bad, so he made a 20% discount and received 800. Wang Yi couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: "This bitch is benevolent and righteous!" ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Carl Zeiss, who has been known for a long time!"

Carl Zeiss wondered in his heart, could it be that this kid in front of me knows me? If it weren't for Augustus saying that this kid was the top person in charge of Dashang Glass Optics Company, it would be hard for him to believe it.

Dashang Boguang is now only a small company, and can only produce the simplest glass products, glass pots, glasses, stained glass, and so on. As for the production of optical glass, this capacity is not yet available. However, Wang Yi relied on a large number of theories and papers related to optics and materials science to set up an industrial laboratory of Dashang Boguang in the literary class, with a total of 12 members, divided into two groups. Although nothing has come out yet, it is a good start.

As for why Carl Zeiss was attracted to Yingkou, it is actually very simple, Wang Yi asked Augustus, Jack, and Charlie to apply for some patents in Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom, including the legendary Schott optical glass series.

Historically, the SCHOTT Glass Factory was founded in Jena, Germany, in 1884 by Ernst Abbe and Otto Schott, two of the founders of the Carl Zeiss Group, which is also fully owned by the Carl Zeiss Group.

As a manufacturer of optical instruments, Carl Zeiss certainly understands that optical glass is the foundation of a company. Because of this, when he visited Augustus after returning to China, he accidentally found those patent entrustment applications authorized by Wang Yi, and he was naturally attracted to them. After careful consideration, he finally embarked on a journey to the Qing Kingdom and met the prodigy in Augustus' mouth.

It's one thing to be introduced, but it's another to actually meet, Carl Zeiss is still surprised by Wang Yi's age, isn't this the person he expects to meet?

"You are welcome to Yingkou, if you can, I hope to visit you tomorrow!" Wang Yi is very polite, but now is a banquet, so it is really not suitable to talk about things.

Carl Zeiss nodded, as an old man in his sixties, he liked Wang Yi's humble and respectful personality.

The reason why Wang Yi asked them to do these things was also to increase their horizons and knowledge, at least without having to feel scared and afraid to talk to strange foreigners.

At least half of the misunderstandings are due to a lack of communication.

Wang Yi was very happy that many of his students could take the initiative to talk to the foreigners present, although they still looked a little jerky and cautious, but at least their expressions had changed from the original nervousness to slowly relaxed.

As time went on, the dinner party reached its climax.

Wang Yi once again attracted everyone's attention at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb you, but please listen to me, next, I am going to show you one of the most amazing inventions in the world. Trust me, this won't disappoint you. ”

Everyone was attracted to attention, and Wang Yi clapped his hands at this time.

The door to the banquet hall opened, and four students walked in carrying a long table, covered with a white cloth and what appeared to be something underneath.

Everyone was talking about it.

"What is this?" Jack stood beside Augustus, with Nade and Charlie next to him. The rest of the people shook their heads, obviously not knowing what was going on.

Wang Yi walked to the long table at this time, pulled the white cloth on the table with one hand, glanced at everyone present, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please take your eyes!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the white cloth, and everyone gathered around, but ......

This thing is somewhat disappointing, how to say? The appearance is too weird, right?

It is a machine that no one has ever seen before, consisting of a large cylinder, a crank, a receiver and a diaphragm. Of course, most people don't know about receivers and diaphragms.

"Oh, my dear king, what is this?"

Jack asked cooperatively.

Wang Yi did not answer, but took out a piece of tin foil from the side, rolled it up on a metal cylinder engraved with spiral grooves, and then let one end of the needle gently rub the tin foil and rotate, and the other end was connected to the receiver.

Wang Yi smiled at this time: "Everyone, this is the moment to witness the miracle!" ”

The surroundings were so quiet that the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard, Wang Yi gently shook the crank, and sang softly: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you don't know what Wang Yi means by singing this song. Of course, foreigners are more confused, but they also know that Wang Yi is singing.

Wang Yi smiled at this time, put his index finger to his lips, and quieted everyone down. At this time, he put the needle back in its place, and then gently shook the crank, and then something magical happened, and as the machine turned around without hurrying or slow, the song came out again. It's just that this time Wang Yi didn't open his mouth again, but he was singing.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak, just like Wang Yi said, this is a miracle, a real miracle!

Wang Yi was apologizing to Edison in the United States at this time, it was already the winter of 1875, and this thing should have been invented more than a year later. Although the phonograph has been eliminated by history in the era before Wang Yi traveled, this cannot hide the glory of the phonograph in the late nineteenth century and the first fifty years of the twentieth century.

Many people were talking around Wang Yi, but Jack was shaking the crank of the gramophone, and before him there were Naide and Augustus, but when it was his turn, the machine Qì went wrong.

Seeing the flustered Jack, Wang Yi laughed and said, "Oh, Mr. Jack, my machine is worth 10,000 gold, your life is over, obediently help me transport goods from Citigroup!" ”

The others laughed along, but Jack looked annoyed and complained, "Wang, your magical machine is too fragile. ”

"By the way, Wang, what's the name of your machine?"

"Gramophone!" Wang Yi said the answer without hesitation.

Half a year later, Charlie brought the gramophone back to England as a gift to Queen Victoria. Similarly, Augustus brought the phonograph back to Germany as a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm I. Jack also brought the gramophone back to the United States, where it was publicly displayed a week later, to the public's astonishment.

A year later, the talking machine became a sensation all over the world, calling it the miraculous machine from the East and hailing it as one of the three greatest inventions of the 19th century. And Wang Yi also became famous because of this, and the most direct impact was that there would always be foreigners who came to Yingkou to visit him from time to time, and were even willing to work under him.

Many of the students in the literary class participated in the development of the phonograph, and the theory was ready-made, and how to put it into practice was the homework left to them by Wang Yi. The full-text class was divided into six teams of 10 people each, and the finalists were rewarded.

What are the rewards?

In the future, everyone didn't care about 3% of the annual profit of the gramophone production company under Dashang, but three years later, when the gramophone really began to be sold worldwide, all the Wenban students were shocked by the generous reward given by Wang Yi at the beginning.

Now that it has been three months since the start of school, Wang Yi stood on the balcony on the top floor, looking at the gradually expanding campus and the new students playing on the playground, and suddenly a sense of pride was born in his heart.

"Give me ten years, I will make the world change color and the world will be shocked!"

Zhang Jingxiao came behind him at this time and said in a low voice: "Sir, General Chongshi of Shengjing has sent a request to the capital to move the refugees from Shanxi, Henan, Zhili, and Shandong provinces to fill the border. It is said that the imperial court has also agreed. ”

The king nodded and said, "That's good!" After thinking about it, he continued: "How is the expansion of the martial arts class going?" ”

Wu Xiao said that 300 qualified insurance team members have been recruited, and the remaining 200 people are estimated to be recruited in half a month. The insurance team members recruited in advance have already entered the mountain for training. ”

"How's the winter coat ready?"

"The shopkeeper of several major cloth clothing stores said that the order must be completed before the winter."
