In the eyes of later historians, the battle between the Union Pacific Railroad and the Grand Union of the Sioux was of great significance.

"In this battle, the Sioux Grand Alliance showed excellent tactical qualities, and their opponents, because of their arrogance, fell into their trap with ease, and the whole process of the battle can be said to be almost in the hands of the Indians. However, even under these conditions, the Indians were not able to win. They pooled their superior forces and attacked one after another, but they were still unable to break through the defenses of their opponents, who had been weakened by Yan Zhan's forces. If the Indians had one or two cannons, or some grenades, the collapse of the whites would have been almost unquestionable. In a sense, this war means that the disparity in material power has begun to weigh on human power. In "On War", Clausewitz greatly admired the role of spiritual power. However, in war, spiritual power is not omnipotent, and if the material power is too disparity, it is difficult to save the war situation by relying on spiritual power alone. In this battle, the Indians have wielded their spiritual power to the extreme, but they still have not been able to win. And for the foreseeable future, the gap in material power between whites and Indians will continue to widen. This war meant that on the North American Big 6, the time of the Indians had passed......" - "History of the North American Indians" Cole? Floys

Since the defeat of the Indians, the construction of the railroad has been on track again. Knowing that there would be no more major messes in the future, Scrooge left Chicago and prepared to return to Cleveland to see how Kroll and the others were doing, and by the way, to see how the research on wireless communication was going in Cleveland University's Dashi yàn room.

Before leaving, Scrooge convened another meeting of Blackwater's top management. The officers in charge of the various departments have summed up the recent work of their departments, and now, Brent, who is in charge of the cable telegraph, is saying:

"It is very important that the cable telegraph is unblocked, so there must be someone on duty at every station 24 hours a day, and the staff on duty can easily fall asleep because they have nothing to do most of the time. So we demanded that all telegraph operators, every twenty minutes, send a set signal. In this way, by listening to these signals, we can easily tell whether the operator at any station is asleep or not. This system effectively avoids the problem of employees sleeping during working hours.

Of course, as Mr. MacDonald said. No system can be perfect, and there will always be loopholes to exploit. Even our system, which calls out every 20 minutes, has people who will take advantage of the loopholes. Well, there is a very interesting story that a telegraph operator actually made a machine that sends call signs at regular intervals, and it will automatically send out call signs every twenty minutes. So this guy actually became the best one who never interrupted, and almost won the bonus for excellent work, but he still left a loophole, that is, the interval between his call signs was too neat, not much in one second, not a lot in one second, and definitely twenty minutes. How is this possible? So we sent people to the field, and we found that the guy who thought he was smart was sleeping soundly, and his call sign was still coming out on time. He thought he could fool us, but he didn't know ......"

"May I interrupt you?" Scrooge said.

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald, of course." Brent was taken aback.

"What's the name of that telegraph operator and where is it now?" Scrooge asked.

"Ah, the telegraph operator is called ......" Brent couldn't remember for a moment, when his assistant whispered, "Thomas." ”

"yes, that guy, that's Thomas, Thomas? Emerson or something. He has been fired for violating the company's discipline. Mr. MacDonald, is there a problem? ”

"Oh, no problem. You're doing it right. This Thomas is talented, though. A person like this may not be able to do a job like a telegraph operator, but in other positions, he is very capable of using his talents. Scrooge said. Then he said to Bond of the Blackwater Ministry of Internal Affairs:

"Mr. Bond, I will entrust this matter to you, and I will try my best to find this, Thomas? Love...... What does love come from? ”

By this time, Brent had already determined the exact name of the man and immediately replied: "Thomas? Alva? Edison. ”

"Yes, Mr. Bond, find this Thomas? Alva? Edison! Then take him directly to Cleveland to meet me. Oh, Mr. Brent, send me that automatic call machine he knows and take a look. Be quick. Because I'm going back to Cleveland tomorrow. Scrooge said.

"Yes, Mr. MacDonald, we will do our best to find him." Bond replied.

……

Sitting on a train to Cleveland, Scrooge played with the crudely made automatic call sign. He can now be sure that this Thomas? Alva? Edison is the Edison who knows more than 2,000 kinds of lights, telephones, and movies, and is known as the king of Ming.

"Well, Edison should be fifteen or sixteen years old by now." Scrooge remembered all kinds of stories about Edison that he had learned when he was a child in his previous life, and he was ordered to drop out of school for three months because he liked to ask questions and was too naughty, well, the elementary school in this era is really powerful and domineering, well, the university doesn't seem to be bad, and there seems to be a guy under him who was expelled from the University of Paris, and the mistake he made was just three times and he couldn't be named. If it were the 21st century, the school would have been scolded to death.

Speaking of which, Edison, like Scrooge, was a native of Ohio, but because his father failed in business, he couldn't stay in Ohio anymore, so he had to run away to other places. Although Scrooge had read some biographies of Edison in his last life, those things he had read as a pastime at the beginning, and for him these biographies were at most just for him not to confuse Edison and Einstein when he was writing essays, and to write about Edison as a small bench and so on. So after Scott became rich, although he wanted to collect Edison under his banner as soon as possible while he was not yet famous, he didn't know where to find this "Ming King" at all. But I didn't expect that this Ming King had already crashed into his own company, and he also made such a kind of Ming out in his own company.

"Scrooge, what is this? You've been looking at it and giggling for an hour! Anna's slightly coquettish voice rang out.

"Ah, Anna, this thing is a thing that is used to deal with the boss to check the post, and it is a self-taught genius who made it up. I sue you, that's what happened......"

Scrooge added fuel to Anna's story about Edison.

"This guy is so lazy." "But this guy is really talented. It's just that the talent is not used in the right place. ”

"Well, a great self-taught guy." "This guy has only been in elementary school for three months. Now I don't know if my beard has grown or not, but I can make something so delicately designed. What a pervert. ”

"Hmph," Anna snorted disappreciatively, reaching out to gently stroke Scrooge's chin, and grinning, "A self-taught guy, well, I don't know if the beard has grown, has opened several companies, and has become one of the richest big bosses in America, this is really a pervert." I'm a pervert, and I'm still talking about people there, which is really funny. ”

Scrooge grabbed Anna's hand, straightened his face, and said viciously, "You dare to say that I don't even know that my beard has grown?" It seems that if you are not punished, you will not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! Reach over and let me prick you with my beard! ”

"Oh, no, I know it's wrong! Spare me! Anna smiled and leaned back, as if trying to escape from Scrooge, but Scrooge pulled her into his arms with a gentle pull, and rubbed a little stubble on her cheek.

"Ah, Scrooge, don't, ah......"

……

"Catherine, why isn't your face so good? Isn't it a little uncomfortable? Carol asked, looking worriedly at his wife.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Catherine said, "I'm just worried that Scrooge is coming back soon." ”

"So what's the matter?" Carroll said, "Scrooge came back and said that things were going well on the railroad, which is a good thing." ”

Catherine glared at Carol and said, "Things are on track here, we finally have a little personal time, and we have been relaxed for less than a week, well, even this is easy, and it is much more tiring than when we were in Europe." As soon as Scrooge came back at this time, God knows, well, I heard that Scrooge had just found a huge iron ore mine over there, and it was said that it was also very close to Lake Superior, which was very suitable for development. Catherine grabbed Carol's hand and looked at him, tears seemed to be flashing in her big eyes, "Carol, when he comes back this time, will he let you go over to be in charge of the opening of that iron mine?" ”

Carol was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about it, he stammered, "I don't know, I should ......" He didn't know what to say, because he saw that big tears were rolling down his wife's eyes.

"What's wrong...... What's wrong with you......" Carol is desolate.

Catherine hugged Carol and put her face on Carol's chest, "Carol, don't you go, okay, here, I only have you as a relative." You don't go! ”

"Okay, okay." Carol, who was at a loss, hugged Catherine, gently stroked her back, and comforted her awkwardly.

"Gross." Catherine suddenly retched again.

"What's wrong, you're not feeling well again? Or I'll go get Dr. Menger and show you. Carroll said.

"No need." "Dr. Heim had already been here in the morning. He said...... "Catherine lowered her head and her voice became quiet.

"What did he say?" Carol asked anxiously.

"He said the MacDonald family was about to add a new member." Catherine's voice was almost inaudible.
