Under Stoney's polite intimidation, Zongzi burst into tears and confessed everything he knew - basically nothing.

"...So, someone did pay for this report, but this gentleman doesn't even remember the face of the payer." Stoney concluded regretfully to the two bosses.

"It's useless for him to remember, and it's not important to hand over such a small role to him. There are a lot of such guys in the Eastern District." Roland frowned: "This person is useless, Let him write a material and let him go back. At least we are now sure that someone is targeting us."

Roland pondered: "There are quite a few people who are envious of us seeing our success in the past few years, but it has been calm all the time. At most, we have caused a few stumbling blocks in small places. After all, the effect of our potion is really extraordinary, and who would? How about embarrassing a company that sells medicine?"

"The answer is already obvious, isn't it?" Nick said helplessly: "The ones who do this can only be those who benefit, and those who can benefit from suppressing us can only be colleagues. They have been letting us develop before because they still I haven't found a medicine that can replace our product, and now I finally can't hold back, obviously because..."

Rowland asked, "Because they found an alternative to penicillin?"

Nick added: "Or they think they have found an alternative to penicillin. Just wait and see what other similar drugs come out later."

In fact, academic competition itself is very simple, but now that capital has entered the market, this competition has become an endless war.Although scientists usually look very noble, when science and technology can bring irresistible profits and fame to scientists, most scientists are no different from businessmen.

Nick complained to Roland: "You know the DC and AC debate."

Roland was not sure: "You mean Edison and Tesla?"

Nick sighed: "It's just the two of them. Edison was not only a scientist, but also a successful businessman. He was a die-hard fan of direct current and established General Electric Company based on direct current. To be honest, the company's ability to make money at that time far exceeded ours. little green fur. But then he got into trouble."

Roland didn't know much about the specifics of this period of history: "Tesla suppressed Edison for alternating current? Impossible."

Nick shook his index finger: "On the contrary, Edison did everything possible to suppress Tesla in order to ensure the status of direct current. Edison, a genius, has the ability to perceive people's hearts no worse than politicians, so he is really handy in playing dirty."

Roland was very curious, he picked up the teacup and moved closer: "What did he do?"

Nick sighed: "As we all know, the United States is a more thorough democratic country than ours, and most of the country's decisions must conform to public opinion. But we all know how easy it is to manipulate public opinion, which has completely lost the ability to think independently. Crowds are ignorant or wise, savage or good, according to the cues they receive."

"Edison bribed government officials in order to make the public have a bad impression of alternating current. The death penalty was changed from hanging to electrocution. Yes, that's right. Of course, it can't be the direct current he prefers. Of course, it is the alternating current that Tesla pushes. After that, He hired a bunch of elementary school kids to electrocute stray cats and dogs with alternating current, and he used it to spread the word in the newspapers about the dangers of alternating current."

Roland was surprised: "The people believe it? Oh, yes, of course they will believe that although direct current and alternating current can kill people, how many people really understand what electric current is? They are so keen on thrilling and exciting How can explaining the principles of electricity to them excite them as much as describing the details of capital punishment and methods of cruelty to animals?"

Nick deeply agrees, and fully agrees with Roland's incisive point of view. He recalls a joke he saw in his previous life: a scientist put a goldfish into the milk of the gods, and then the goldfish died within a few seconds.People: Oh my God! □□ Milk is highly poisonous!Even the fish were poisoned to death!

He sighed: "There is nothing new under the sun. What we are encountering now is so similar to Tesla. What is the difference between that poor maid and the cat and dog that were electrocuted?"

What he didn't say was that Edison's suppression of Tesla didn't stop there. This boss knew that bad things must be eradicated, and he didn't want to give Tesla any hope of making a comeback.After Tesla invented the radio, Edison used resources to get the US government to revoke Tesla's patent, which led to Marconi, who invented the radio after Tesla, winning the Nobel Prize that should have belonged to Tesla.

After the radio, Tesla proposed the idea of ​​radar as a war artifact, but the real radar was invented by an Englishman more than ten years later. The reason is that Edison, Tesla proposed the idea of ​​radar At that time, Edison was serving as the head of the U.S. Naval Research and Development Center. At his insistence, the military believed that radar was an impractical thing, so no one paid attention to it.

In addition to radar, Tesla actually discovered X-rays before Roentgen, but he believed that X-rays were very dangerous and refused to experiment.But Edison stood up for everything Tesla opposed, and led his assistant to do X-ray experiments desperately, and finally caused himself almost blind, and his assistant had to amputate to save his life...

"And then?" Roland urged: "We are all using AC power now, so Tess is the one to win. What did he do? Did he demonstrate the danger of DC power to everyone?"

Nick shook his head: "Tesla didn't do anything, he didn't need to do anything, the advantage of AC power is incomparable to that of DC power, whether AC motors can have more power when used as power, or AC power is more efficient in long-distance transmission. Low consumption, these are undeniable facts. Public opinion is easy to control, but capital is after all profit-seeking. Conspiracies to hinder development may succeed for a while, but truly beneficial things are doomed from the moment they come out. It has its own place in history."

Nick said solemnly: "So what we need to do most is to strengthen ourselves. Roland, we must strictly control the sales channels of penicillin to prevent similar incidents from happening again. This is up to you. Besides, I We will continue to improve the purification method of penicillin at the research institute, as long as the purity can be improved, we can reduce the probability of allergic reactions.”

Roland clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Nick, you are right, but it is still necessary to find the enemy. If you don't retaliate with these ghostly methods, don't the people watching around think that we are easy to bully?"

The author has something to say: It seems that I can't finish it with 8 words... I, I don't know when I can finish it, because I don't have an outline, so I'm crying...
