My identity as an ancient celestial master was exposed by yearning

Praise him for bringing us light and making our lives more fulfilling and convenient.

And his famous saying: Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

I don't know how many young people who are ignorant and hardworking have been inspired,

It's just that the textbook didn't tell them.

There is another sentence behind Edison: 1% of inspiration is the most critical.

They never thought of it.

This kind of great man actually appeared in Picasso's letter to Xiao Chen.

"Edison didn't invent the electric light, he just improved it."

Xiao Chen walked out of the house at some point, and said unhurriedly: "It was the British chemist Humphry Davy who invented the world's first electric light. Afterwards, many scientists improved electric light on his basis, but they didn't As expected, no improved filament could persist for more than 12 hours without being blown. Until Edison was inspired by a scientist named Swan, he experimented with tungsten wire as a more durable filament, thereby further improving electric lamps."

???

???

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But such astonishing information has not waited for them to digest.

Xiao Chen's next sentence.

They all dropped their jaws in shock.

"You don't really think Edison was a good man, do you?"

Xiao Chen said lightly: "Edison and Picasso can cherish each other, there are naturally similarities between them."

"Once upon a time there was a young scientist, Tesla, who developed a model for the new invention of alternating current, but he could not go on because of insufficient funds, so he found Edison, the electrical tycoon at the time, but Edison was not interested in alternating current. Ask Tesla to improve his dynamo and electric motor, and promise to pay him $5 if he succeeds in improving it."

"Although Tesla still adhered to his idea of ​​alternating current, he still tried his best to solve the task that Edison gave him. Before long, he developed more than 20 new DC generators, which were more efficient than the previous ones. ,good results."

"But when he was delighted to find Edison and asked for a reward, he was dismissed by Edison's saying that it was just an American humor. In the end, Edison did not forget to apply for these generators as his own patent."

!!!

!!!

Everyone was shocked by Edison's approach.

They had never seen such a brazen person.

Is this still the inventor king Edison they know?

"Master, is what you said true?"

Huang Lei swallowed and asked Xiao Chen.

Edison is no better than Picasso. Most of his inventions are closely related to people's lives, have made great contributions to mankind, and have cross-age significance.

This is not something to be joked about casually.

Just like an entertainment star and a scientist, they cannot be compared at all.

Fortunately, there is no live broadcast now.

Otherwise, there will be another storm on the Internet.

"What's the point? You think this is the end, and there's something even worse."

Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders, and said without thinking: "After Tesla left Edison, with the support of some people, he successfully researched the alternating current and brought it to the market. As soon as it was launched, it was well received by factories and enterprises. , This made Edison feel threatened. He not only published an article explaining the dangers of alternating current, but also paid elementary school students to help him catch kittens and puppies, and then held a press conference to put them under alternating current. Execute elephants and prisoners to demonize alternating current, make the public fear alternating current and no longer believe in Tesla..."

"It was Edison who spared no effort to attack his competitors that created such a huge business empire."

After listening to Xiao Chen's words.

Everyone's cognition has been greatly impacted.

unimaginable.

The great inventor turned out to be a profit-seeking businessman who stole other people's intellectual achievements, slandered and attacked competitors.

It was nothing like the Edison they knew from books.

Chapter 127 Capital

people's thoughts and opinions.

It mainly comes from the degree of a person's awareness of it.

The degree of cognition is determined by the information obtained from different channels.

Just like Edison, everyone can only know from textbooks that he is a great inventor with 2000 inventions and more than 1500 patents. He is a person who has had a profound impact on the world.

If it wasn't for Xiao Chen, everyone's perception of Edison would never have changed.

Only an ancestor like Xiao Chen who has lived for so long can let everyone see the other side that no one knows.

It turned out that Edison had so many inventions, not all patents belonged to him, some were stolen, and some were inventions and patents of the scientists under his banner.

And do whatever it takes to benefit.

"Grandpa, why did Edison do so many bad things? He lied to Tesla and slandered his research results."

After hearing what happened to Tesla, sister Zifeng couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

"It depends on what angle you look at it from."

Xiao Chen patted her head, and said with a smile: "When you let go of his identity as an inventor and look at him as a capitalist, you won't be so angry, but you will think it's quite normal."

Hear this.

The audience fell silent!

Yes.

capitalist!

If Edison were just a capitalist, his behavior would not seem so abrupt.

Is there any capitalist who has developed without some obscure means.

He Jiong nodded and said with a wry smile: "Yes, everyone only remembers that his invention changed our lives, but they forgot that Edison also became a rich man standing at the top of the biological chain through his invention. A businessman."
