Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Soldier

"I didn't expect our first job to be this..."Looking at the blank form handed over to them by Yan Shao, one of the white people was a little crying and laughing.

Not only him, but also several others.

These people could never have imagined that their first job after taking office was to open a list of equipment for their bosses, which was definitely new to them.

"Anyway, since we've already ordered it, let's start quickly..."This time it was a Chinese named Li Yin, who is also Li Mao's grandson.

During this period, there were still very few Chinese studying science and engineering in the United States, but Li Yin was one of them. Although Li Mao didn't know what Yan Shao wanted to do, he still called his grandson, who was on vacation, over.

On the one hand, Li Mao did this to help Yan Shao, and on the other hand, he wanted his grandson to help watch those white people, so that Yan Shao would not be fooled by them. Of course, Li Yin knew what Grandpa Lu Dao meant, so he put himself in the right position very early.

Hearing Li Yin say this, the six white men all nodded.

Anyway, since the boss asked them to do this, they naturally had no reason to save money for Yan Shao. What's more, according to Yan Shao, these devices are the ones they need to use, and if they come back with some broken equipment, it won't make them feel very uncomfortable.

So in the end, the shopping list they gave Yan Shao was as high as more than 1,000 pounds.

It includes not only all kinds of equipment needed, but also the materials used, etc., if it weren't for Li Yin's idea of saving for Yan Shao, I'm afraid there would be more.

Looking at the prices of those devices on the list, Yan Shao sighed.

You must know that this is more than 1,000 pounds, and if it is in China, it can even buy more than 300 Hanyang to equip half a battalion of troops. However, after gritting his teeth, Yan Shao still spent the money.

It can't be helped, because he needs not only the manufacturing process of tungsten filament, but also the method of industrial manufacturing.

In 1909, W. Kulich of the General Electric Company of the United States D.Coolidge) is to prepare tungsten blanks by powder metallurgy method, and then use mechanical processing to produce tungsten wire with ductility at room temperature, thus laying the foundation of tungsten wire processing industry and powder metallurgy, which is also the purpose of Yan Shao.

Except for Ilano and Katarina, everyone else only saw Yan Shao's cheerful appearance when he paid the money, but they didn't notice the pain hidden behind the refreshing heart. So Jim also appreciated Yan Shao a little more when they looked at him—————— although in their hearts they still regarded Yan Shao as a reckless layman.

That's right, layman ...

In their opinion, Yan Shao's ability to write novels is indeed demonic, but writing novels and scientific research and invention are two different things. So when these people accept recruitment, they are more or less entertaining and curious about Yan Shao...

However, seeing Yan Shao's current appearance, they were somewhat more serious in their hearts...

————————————————————

In the room, seeing that Yan Shao still looked painful, Elano and Caterina both felt a little funny. It was only in the evening that under the deliberate soothing of the two, Yan Shao's depression was vented.

On the other hand, after signing the agreement with Yan Shao, with the newly purchased equipment, those scientific researchers also began to test according to the theory provided by Yan Shao.

At first, several people, including Li Yin, were actually a little unimpressed, after all, in their opinion, the possibility of success was too slim to experiment with the theory provided by a novelist.

But after a series of experiments, they found that the theory provided by Yan Shao was not unfeasible, and it was at this time that some of these people began to regret it.

Because according to the agreement they signed with Yan Shao, Yan Shao will provide them with extremely generous treatment, and when the invention of 'tungsten filament' is successful, this invention will have nothing to do with them...

At the beginning, because they didn't think that the experiment would be successful, they still thought that this agreement was very cost-effective, but now, seeing that the theory provided by Yan Shao is indeed feasible, how can they not regret it...

As scientific researchers, they may not know much about the world, but they understand what the practical 'tungsten filament' represents for this world...

Anyone who can invent a practical 'tungsten filament' can gain great fame and benefits, even if it goes down in history...

As long as I think of this, those few white people who began to be selfish will regret it and even their intestines are almost green. However, they have already signed an agreement with Yan Shao, even if they regret it, it is useless, plus there is a Li Yin next to them looking at them, there is no way to do it, and a few people can only study there honestly.

————————————————————

Although Li Mao welcomes Yan Shao very much, Yan Shao can't live in Li Shao's house all the time after all. In that case, many things will inevitably be a little inconvenient. So after things were on track in the research room, Yan Shao bought a two-story building near Chinatown under the introduction of Li Mao.

In addition, when shopping for daily necessities, he did not forget to buy himself a typewriter, and by the way, he went to the telegraph office and sent a telegram to the French side, informing Tharis of his situation here.

But I don't know if it's a coincidence, just when Yan Shao took Elaline and the others to the telegraph office, a new telegram happened to be sent, and it happened to be sent by Tharis...

It's just that it's different from the worry in the last telegram, but this time he pointed at Yan Shao's nose and scolded...

It is clear that the matter of Caterina has crossed the Atlantic and reached France on the other side of the ocean. Tarys, who has always regarded Elano as his own daughter, obviously can't tolerate Yan Shao's behavior of finding wings, and it is natural that he will scold in the telegram...

"Uncle Tharis is really good..."

After scanning the contents of the telegram at a glance, Yan Shao touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

"You deserve it..."

With only one sentence left, Eleno took Caterina aside and telegraphed her latest situation and what had happened at sea back to France...

Because of Elano's explanation, coupled with the fact that they are both men, it is inevitable that they will be a little biased emotionally, so after a few telegrams, Tharis reluctantly forgave Yan Shao.

However, as a price for forgiveness, for more than a month, except for doing some shameful things with Elaline at night, the rest of the time was either to go to the laboratory to see, or to lock himself in the room to code...

It was during this time that the tungsten filament was finally made out by those scientific researchers...

Holding the invented tungsten wire, Yan Shao prepared to leave for the patent office.

But just as he was about to leave the laboratory, he suddenly turned around and called Li Yin's words. "Uncle Kuo"

In the laboratory, Li Yin was standing side by side with the other six people, and at this time he heard Yan Shao call his name, but he still quickly replied. "What's the matter, boss..."

"Do you want to come with me?" Raising the things in his hand, Yan Shao said with a smile.

"Good!" Hearing Yan Shao's words, Li Yin hurriedly followed.

Boarding the carriage, the carriage slowly drove towards the patent office under the pull of the horses.

In the carriage, just when Li Yin was wondering why Yan Shao wanted to call him with him, Yan Shao bluntly extended his invitation to him. "Right now, I want to do a career, I wonder if you're interested in doing it with me!"

The so-called single filament does not form a line, a single tree does not become a forest, if you want to rebel, you will definitely not be able to rely on Yan Shao alone, he knows this very well in his heart. So he has been looking for some people since a long time ago, and Li Yin is the first person he is targeting, after all, few Chinese in this era know the knowledge of science and engineering.

It's just that many Chinese in the United States have something to do with the Alliance, but Yan Shao decided to put aside the Alliance and go it alone, in other words, there will definitely be friction and even conflict between the two in the future. At that time, if there are people from the League under his command, it will be tantamount to a disaster.

So during this time, Yan Shao had been inquiring about the situation in Li Yin's family, and it was not until he confirmed that he had nothing to do with the Alliance before deciding to invite him.

(During this period, the League was not established, and it was not until 1905 that it was formed by the merger of the Huaxing Society, the Xingzhong Society and the Guangfu Society.

"Of course!" Receiving Yan Shao's invitation, Li Yin's face was overjoyed.

Before he came, although Li Yin knew Yan Shao, he was somewhat dismissive in his heart, in his opinion, writing and scientific research are completely different things, and a person who writes novels wants to make inventions, which is really a little self-conscious. He would come over to help, entirely because of Li Mao's request, and of course, there was also a little curiosity about Yan Shao.

However, since the success of 'tungsten filament', Li Yin has begun to worship this young man who is a few years younger than himself, and now that he has been invited, Li Yin himself is naturally willing...

Seeing Li Yin happily agreeing to his invitation, the corners of Yan Shao's mouth turned up slightly.

He would invite Li Yin, not only because of his ability, but more importantly, because of Li Mao behind him.

Most of the Chinese in the United States are concentrated in the San Francisco area, but it is the power of the League, and it is easy to attract people there. In New York, there are people from the League who are active, but the power is significantly smaller than in San Francisco.

Then, the Chinese in New York are what Yan Shao wants to fight for.

Li Yin's grandfather, Li Mao, is also a prominent figure in New York's Chinatown, otherwise he would not have been able to clean Yan Shao's dust on behalf of the Chinese in New York.

"So, as long as Li Yin is pulled to his side, he won't have to worry about not getting the support of the Chinese in New York..."Thinking so, when he looked at Li Yin, the smile on Yan Shao's face became even stronger.
