Chapter 425: Downcast Edison!

"Ladies! Gentlemen! Please take a look! Glance! ”

"We've got a surprise here! We've got the latest technology here! ”

"Our light bulbs are different! It's really different! ”

It's the same at the World Expo in Vienna, and it's also outside Rotonada, it's also a stall, but there are too few people stopping at this stall.

The reason why there are few people is also very simple, that is, because the things on display in this stall are basically big road goods, light bulbs, and there are already many stalls that have displayed this thing.

You know, although electricity has not yet been popularized in Europe, especially in Vienna, there are a lot of electricity suppliers in this World Expo, to put it bluntly, it is a business that sells light bulbs to display their products.

Because everyone can see that this next era must be the electric age. And among them, the most are the American Empire and the United Kingdom, as for the others, there are very few others, Germany has the display of electricity technology, but there are few kinds of pitiful, and the tricks are not enough, and this stall ......

French!

France, this is a bit strange, because as far as France is concerned, there are really not many scientists in that place, and the French are too romantic, but but, on the thing of electricity, France really has a bull X character, the famous Ampere, who has played a considerable role in promoting the development of electricity, but after all, it was decades ago!

Yes, now electricity is ready to use. People have made light bulbs, although they have made this thing...... Hey, it seems to be the emperor of the American Empire. I heard that this emperor doesn't know much about the theory of electricity, but the application is very powerful, to say that this guy is a Chinese, Chinese, then maybe there is magic from the East.

Many Europeans, even white people in the United States, mostly explained that Li Mengyang, the emperor, could come up with so many new things. That is, magic, miracles, related to the East. Anyway, they don't know much about the East either.

However, when it comes to the electrical level in France, it is really a mess of water!

Because the French are inherently incompatible with the British. And it also had a bad relationship with the American Empire before. In addition, they are also old powerhouses, and they have an arrogant temperament, so I heard that they have built a power system by themselves.

I heard that this power system is from the United States by a guy named Thomas. Edison's guy did it.

Right! It's Thomas. Edison, it's just that this guy is relatively down-and-out now......

"Why do your light bulbs look like this?" After all, it's a World Expo, and it can't be anyone. At this time Thomas. In front of Edison's EDF booth, a child holding a sugar gourd was licking and pointing to a flickering light bulb and asking questions.

Not bad. If a guest arrives, you have to greet them well, so Edison, who had nothing to do anyway, came in person.

"Hah! You say this bulb, this is our latest product, how about it, it looks good, right? Edison was really confident in his products, and he dared to say that there is absolutely no light bulb like ours in other companies!

Yes, Edison was so confident, but the kid licked the rock sugar gourd...... Needless to say, where you bought this thing, we can't just come for nothing...... Just listen to him say:

"But why does this thing look so much like a dick?"

This one......

That's right, the light bulb that this kid is pointing at is indeed very, very rare, because it is not a 'bubble', it is three bubbles, two small and one long, and the long one is still in the middle...... Indeed compare the image.

"Who's the kid!" Edison was so angry!

Edison hasn't been doing well lately, although at first he went to France and brought his own invention, the electric light...... Of course, he knew in his heart how this thing came about, but well, he Edison definitely didn't know, in fact, he was the original...... But this thing was very good at the beginning, and he Edison also ate and drank spicy food in France at the beginning.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the electric lamp brought by Edison, that is, the electric lamp of direct current, just solves the problem of France, that is, the electric lamp of the United Kingdom and the American Empire, which is the electric light of alternating current, so we French use direct current, so this is different, then we can work against the British again, okay!

That's really the reason, so Edison was treated as a guest by Thiers, but the good times didn't last long.

Direct current and alternating current, in the past, that is, when human beings have not understood electricity too well, it is really a little bit ignorant, but when we can apply electricity, practice, then it is easy to see, in fact, the difference is not big, it is nothing more than that the voltage of alternating current is higher, and the voltage of direct current is low.

In fact, these two currents have a wide range of applications, which is true, just say alternating current, the advantage is that the voltage is high, the transmission is relatively easy, it can be transmitted far away, the voltage can be very high. Direct current can also make the light bulb bright, so some safety-emphasizing equipment can be used, especially the computers of later generations, then this thing needs direct current to do.

However, the current situation is the early stage of power application, and in this period, the disadvantage of low DC voltage is particularly obvious!

Let's just say that the current Edison, he is the direct victim, because his set of things is all direct current, so from the beginning of the power generation, we have to come to DC, then the voltage is not high, so since the voltage is not high, the transmission distance is naturally greatly limited!

Think about it, if you want to burn coal and oil to generate electricity, or you have to build a hydropower station, but in any case, you just can't transmit direct current too far, so if the French want to enjoy the electric light, then they have to move to the edge of the dam?

It's okay to talk about oil and coal. But now the noise of the generator that uses oil and coal, this pollution, there is such a thing next to your house. Don't even want to sleep!

Therefore, such a thing that seems to be very good was also expected by the French people at the beginning, 'We will do it with the British, with the American Empire, it is all up to you Edison', but it is a pity. It backfired.

After so many years of tossing, when Thiers went to the American Empire, the power equipment of the empire entered France. The French people say yes!

If the transmission is far, then more people can enjoy the benefits of electricity, and of course everyone does not have to move, in fact, they can't move if they want to. Because of such a European powerhouse as France. After the steam industrial revolution, most of the riverside was occupied by factories.

In fact, the most important thing is that the cost is low!

Think about it, how many light bulbs can be made by a hydropower station? Let's build a small dam first, and then Paris will be enough for the current needs!

Therefore, Edison's life is very difficult now. It can be said that it has taken a sharp turn, and the reason why he can come to this World Expo. Or is it because the matter of the World Expo was decided early on, yes, the Austro-Hungarian emperor had not yet gone to the American Empire.

In other words, the old guy Thiers regretted it, and if he had known this, he should not have supported Edison, the Yankee, and the money for the World Expo...... Anyway, it's a cost, so wouldn't it be even more cost-effective if you don't come.

So, Edison was ready to make a last ditch effort, and he really came up with a lot of ideas, such as making a light bulb into a JJ-shaped...... It's really not intentional, it's just that I didn't blow the glass well when I blew it, and then Edison liked it at first sight, which is also an idea, isn't it?

Edison, whose life has been so difficult, has not yet fallen to the bottom, at least he is better than living like a fool before, but Edison, who came to this Vienna World Expo, he is a little weird.

Of course, it had nothing to do with the bear kid who ate the sugar gourd, but after the bear kid was dismissed, Edison was fine, and the guy walked around and looked around until he got back to a hut behind his stall.

As soon as Edison entered the room, a voice sounded from his back, apparently the person who spoke had just stood behind the door, this was preparing, it seemed that the person was not right, so he would do it?

"How?"

"No, not much."

Edison replied with a squeak, but the voice didn't ask much, but shut them down.

"Don't go out if you're okay! What do you care about that kind of kid? Also, do you find any news? Will that person show up as planned? What's changed? ”

The series of problems in this business seems to be ......

"Nope! Nothing! Sir, I don't think we're ......," Edison replied, of course, truthfully, but his tone was trembling now, and he was obviously afraid.

However, at this time, the voice was no longer hiding by the door, and he came to the front of Edison, and he revealed his true face, this man......

If it's George. Lee is here, then he must exclaim, isn't this General Forrestal?!

That's right, this one who appeared in front of Edison was Nathan. Forrestal, the one who had previously egged George in the South. Lee assassinated the founder of the Ku Klux Klan of the Emperor!

It's just that the current founder, this posture...... Skinny, very skinny, skinny, skinny!

Although the previous Nathan. Forrest is definitely not fat, he is a brave general, but however, the thinness at this time can completely make people see a kind of pathology, so what's going on?

"Mr. Forrestal, let's not continue, I've heard before, the man has a lot of guards, and he seems to ...... "What does Edison mean by that?"

"Less nonsense! Of course I know that he has a lot of guards! That evil guy, of course he knows that his life is on the minds of many people! And...... He used to be lucky, and now this guy is going to fall into my hands, hehe! Forrest had a sinister smile on his face.

Who is that guy he is talking about?

Could it be ...... (To be continued......)

PS: What's that, I'm going to see the treasure island horse, and then, the green camp is scolding, hahahahaha...... If you want to see the shamelessness of human beings, this is really a great opportunity. Well, the black car is not much to say, thank you all! Thank you so much!
