Chapter 202: Keeping the Promise! Will Edison stay?
"Huh?!"
Major Yang Willy of Yuma Town was not well when he saw a telegram note in his hand.
What's going on with this telegram?
It's very simple, didn't Yang Willy meet a very strange-looking guy when he was inspecting Yuma Town before, in general, that person is too 'avant-garde', completely the image of a beggar, and the most important thing is that that person actually said that he can solve the problems of the empire.
For this problem, Yang Weili also heard about it, that is, the emperor wanted to make explosives like cotton wool or nitroglycerin, which burned very completely, become stable, and this matter was too difficult.
However, the avant-garde guy in front of him actually said that he could handle it, and Yang Willy felt ......
Maybe the masters are not amazing, right?
So, Major Young Willy tried to send a telegram to the capital of the Empire, and this telegram, then naturally had to ask the name of the avant-garde guy, so Edison's name spread to the capital of the Empire, San Francisco.
And the current telegram is a reply from the imperial capital, and it is also a reply from the emperor himself!
"Don't offend this Mr. Edison! Send him safely to the capital! ”
Yang Willy can fully feel through this telegram that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this Edison, this ......
It is likely that His Majesty the Emperor did not see Mr. Edison, the current appearance, right?
Telegram, of course, Willie Jan could not have described Edison too much.
So now......
"Guards!"
"Here!"
"Give that Mr. Edison, a new outfit, the best food. Can you take a shower? ……”
"What?"
……
Edison in order to make the cotton stable. That is, to be able to make that kind of smokeless gunpowder. He really went through a lot of hardships, and his arm was blown up at the last moment of success, but fortunately, it was not completely broken, and it can still be used.
And finally, he found the answer to the puzzle, and he was so excited that he was going to get 100,000 American dollars!
It's simply fantastic. Edison's days would have been better, but!
How to get to the American Empire?
Edison finally gave up, used his cheekiness, borrowed another $100, and then used his connections, he didn't work on the railroad before, so he got a few cheaper train tickets, you know, just this $100, is not enough for him to get from Michigan to California. But don't say it, Edison really ended up in Yuma Town.
Take the train to the south. Fortunately, the current Northern Army was already the territory of the original Southern Army, which controlled a lot of it, and then Edison followed the original Southern Post Road to the original California, which is now the American Empire.
This way...... It's really harder and more dangerous than the ones he did, and he almost died!
However, for the sake of the 100,000 American dollars, in order to be able to change his bad life, fight!
Truth be told, the whole thing was a gamble for Edison, and if he couldn't find a substance that could make the cotton stable, then he would have lost everything.
Also, the emperor, can he really keep his promise?
These are all important questions, but Edison was right!
And, in Edison's opinion, he thought that the emperor would definitely give him $100,000, and perhaps others, that is, most of the citizens of the United States of America, thought it was a joke, but Edison saw it.
If an emperor does not keep his promises, then how can he be an emperor?
At least it's worth a try!
So, from this point of view, Edison is really not that stupid, maybe others think he is stupid......
Maybe it's a little silly, Edison made himself like a beggar, a beggar covered in wounds, but he was now very comfortable, because Edison had been soaked in a big pool.
……
"Edison! Hahaha...... "In the palace in San Francisco, Li Mengyang was laughing stupidly.
It's really hard not to laugh, it's definitely a happy thing, and it should be said that it's not one, it's two, or there will be many happy things in the future!
Smokeless gunpowder! That's it!
The most important thing is Edison! This is an inventor! More than a thousand inventions!
How nice would it be if this guy used it for himself?
How can Li Mengyang not be happy? How can you not giggle?
"Oops! You, be quiet! ”
"That's right! It's noisy! ”
"Hey, what happened to you just now? A pair of spiky ones? ”
"No, I'm not out!"
"No, it's out! I saw it all! ”
"I just don't!"
"You ask Sister Huang!"
"You're both farmers!"
"Hahaha......"
This, Li Mengyang looked at his third wife who was happy to fight the landlord, and he had a feeling of Tang Yin's feet......
A month later, the Empire used the fastest ship to deliberately go around to Yuma Town and take Edison safely to San Francisco.
"Where are we going?" After Edison got off the boat, he was immediately put in a carriage, and he was a little panicked, because after all, he had come to a strange place.
"Mr. Edison, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that he want to see you as soon as possible." The coachman, dressed in a military uniform, replied.
"......" Edison's heart at this time was somewhat mixed, you know, in Michigan he was an idiot and a poor ghost that everyone laughed at, and now, the emperor actually took himself so seriously.
"The Emperor...... Maybe it's really a thirst for talent, right? ”
Thinking like this, Edison couldn't help but look out of the carriage, he wanted to see what this so-called empire was like.
It's very surprising that along the way, the empire seems to be clanging everywhere. Construction is going on everywhere. Construction. This empire is like a big construction site, and all people, as long as they see it, seem to be workers, are busy and nothing else.
Maybe it's the city, but what does the countryside look like?
Edison couldn't imagine that he wasn't really a smart man. He's just a normal guy......
"Oh, welcome, Mr. Edison!"
As soon as he arrived at the palace, Edison immediately met the emperor, and this surprised Edison because the palace was so simple.
Just an ordinary American official's mansion, and that's it.
"Oh, hello, His Majesty the Emperor." Although Edison was not smart, he still knew the most basic politeness.
Li Mengyang saw Edison. To be honest, he was really excited. Because what a great inventor this is, his invention has changed the lives of mankind, and he will have this famous inventor, and now he will get an important thing, no smoke @ medicine!
It's just that, to be honest, Li Mengyang felt that the Edison in front of him was really very different from his expectations, this guy's hair was like a chicken nest, and it was still broken.
In my impression, Edison's photos are very handsome, and this is a winner in life, how can it ...... Maybe I'm still young and poor.
Although Edison took a shower and got new clothes, he was sloppy like this.
......But now, Edison was somewhat cautious, because the emperor in front of him looked at him...... I heard that this emperor used to write that kind of novel......
"Okay, let's get down to business." Li Mengyang said with a smile, of course he wouldn't know what Edison's thoughts were at this time, "You solved my problem, then you must have made a smokeless fire @ medicine?" ”
Li Mengyang didn't pay attention to what he said, so he was happy.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Edison didn't think much about it, anyway, that thing was indeed smokeless, and there was nothing wrong with calling it smokeless fire @ medicine.
"So, how did smokeless gunpowder come out? What about the formula? Li Mengyang is anxious.
"This ......," Edison hesitated, "that...... 100,000 American dollars, this ......"
"Oh." Li Mengyang understood, the feeling is that the great inventor wants to see the money first, this is no problem, we have not traded between us, it is normal to be careful.
Li Mengyang did not doubt him, and immediately wrote a check for 100,000 American dollars.
"Well, you can exchange huàn at the banks of the empire." Li Mengyang handed over the check.
You must know that the current American New Tang Empire has opened a lot of banks, and now it is mainly the central bank, that is, the bank of Li Mengyang, the emperor himself.
Although it is not his own on the surface, but behind the scenes, he has brought down Jinshan, and the financial industry has long been manipulated in the hands of Li Mengyang.
"This ......" didn't expect that Edison was still hesitant.
"Sir, you can say whatever you want, it's okay." Li Mengyang's attitude can definitely be said to be approachable.
"Can I exchange it for a check in dollars? I want to redeem huàn in the United States. Edison said this.
"Huh?" Li Mengyang frowned slightly, because he heard a meaning, this Edison didn't seem to want to develop in the American Empire, and he still wanted to go back to the United States!
So what about it......
"Yes!" Li Mengyang agreed.
It's very simple, because Li Mengyang feels that this great inventor may not be familiar with the empire, and people are homesick, and he is still so young now, Edison will naturally have to have an ideological struggle to help him, the emperor.
Anyway, Li Mengyang thought so, so he signed another check, which was a check from JPMorgan Bank......
Obviously, there is still a close connection between the empire and the Morgan family in New York, and the bankers will never miss the matter of making money anyway.
"Okay, I'll tell you the recipe for smokeless @ medicine." Seeing that the emperors of other people had done this, Edison was no longer hypocritical, and he immediately wrote the formula.
In fact, the formula of smokeless gunpowder is very simple, that is, the cotton wool is dissolved in ethyl@alcohol and ethyl@ether, which is not difficult at all. It's just that if you don't do this thing, then there is no way to find out.
In other words, such a simple matter, just because Li Mengyang is a liberal arts student, he has to pay $100,000, but now there is an adult in front of him, so ......
"Mr. Edison, in fact, I would like to invite you to stay in the Empire, I can appoint you as the Deputy Minister of Science, and you can also engage in business activities, you can, I will support you." Li Mengyang was persuaded to do so, so how did Edison react? (To be continued......)
