His Excellency the Count of Grandet

Although there have been various bad guesses, Victor still hopes that he is thinking too much. "How?" He asked with a cigar in his mouth, trying to shift the focus indistinctly: "What do you think will help us?"

Charles flipped through the information in his hand to the end, and sure enough, he saw his political stance.But he didn't look carefully at all, but jumped over and closed it directly. "all."

"All?" Victor was shocked again, although he only showed Charles from his face to his hands.He now vaguely understands how the bad premonition he had just now came from——

It's not just Faraday or Ampere, Shire obviously has MAX favorability with scientists in mathematics and science!He just found out!

But having said that, this is too unreasonable to play cards, right?Even if Shire was deeply influenced by Napoleon's education policy (Napoleon attached great importance to science, and Shire went to school during Napoleon's reign), it wouldn't be...seeing one and loving the other?

Why give up treatment, Victor!

If Charles knew what Victor was thinking, he would definitely give him such a sentence without hesitation.But now he's so preoccupied with what he's just seen that he can't think of anything else: "I mean, with the support of these people, we can do a lot more!"

Regardless of celestial mechanics and light diffraction, probability theory, advanced mathematics, electromagnetism, and gas fluid mechanics are all very useful!Needless to say, electromagnetism, aerodynamics is definitely a key item in various engines (gasoline, diesel, applied to ships and aircraft, etc.)!As for all kinds of mathematics, it is the foundation of all physical sciences!

In response to this answer, Victor snapped his fingers on the table twice.The cigar had just been lit, but he didn't take a puff, when a light blue mist was spreading between them. "Can you get them to agree?" he asked. "Even though you don't seem to care about certain aspects, they don't necessarily care."

Some of these aspects are undoubtedly those that Victor is responsible for - from the king to the parliament to the nobles, those power games on the stage or behind the scenes.

"I don't believe so," Charles replied.

Science knows no borders, let alone a domestic faction?As long as a person really wants to make a greater breakthrough in academics, he will definitely not care about some more superficial things.

Of course, the surface does not include personal living standards, after all, there are only a few people who are as jealous as Humphrey David.And having said that, French scientists are really not as poor as those in Britain-because Napoleon generally gave them very high treatment, from economic aspects to status, so that they can concentrate on education and academics.

Victor looked at Charles again, and he had already guessed the other party's entry point - starting from the professional field of research, because they had no more convincing cards.

From Alphonse's words, he already knew this-Charles showed his rich knowledge of chemistry when he was at the Royal Society in London, so he could go there with nothing to do.

But then again, if Shire is very talented in science, it must have been discovered in middle school, why did he not show it until now?You must know that the treatment for doing research is really good, and it has a high reputation!

"You seem to be very confident?" Victor didn't directly point out his doubts, but just asked such a question. "I have to admit that those academicians are generally very happy to recommend juniors. But there is a prerequisite, that is, that junior must have a level that they can look up to."

Charles knew what the other party was suspecting as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help wondering how bad the original owner's resume was. "I didn't do a real job when I was in school, and I don't deny it." He said, "But it doesn't affect what I want to do now; because scientists can't eat or sleep, and the results will come out by themselves."

"You also know the current domestic situation. Even if Mr. Laplace is highly respected, he has to swing between the two factions to keep his relatively stable life and prevent the pressure from other parties from ruining his hard work. "

"That's exactly the future we can offer him, or most of it will be your credit. With some foresight, they'll take it seriously and make a decision that's good for them and good for us. s Choice."

"Besides, if you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work?"

Victor stared at Charles for a while.

It can really be said, first put a high hat on him, and then blur the huge role that he may have played in it, it sounds like it is all his credit!

Then, the analysis of human nature is also correct-everyone yearns for a better life, and scientists are also human.Who cares who particular person sits on the throne if they can offer more stability in life and a superior research environment?

In the end, with the aristocratic ethos of diehard royalists—so old, so conservative, and completely opposite to the innovation and pioneering advocated by science—it is completely impossible to produce influential scientists!It is absolutely impossible for the royalists to value science as much as they do!

"I found you eloquent for the first time," Victor said finally, his tone between admiration and dissatisfaction. "From your past record, I already guessed this; but this is the first time to experience it personally." He added.

This was undoubtedly persuaded, but Charles felt that the other party's dissatisfaction was not in his expected reaction. "I'm just being pragmatic," he found another low-key description, "but do you want to say something else?"

Victor smiled slightly, and licked the cigar—the smoke had been extinguished, but the mellow aftertaste still lingered on the tip of his nose. "I really hope that you have the same forward-looking attitude towards our relationship; like listing one, two, three feasibility, or something."

Charles wanted to roll his eyes for a moment, but held back.He does lay out pros and cons, but does that tell Victor?If the other party knows this kind of comparison of advantages and disadvantages, they will definitely not be happy, but will only be pissed off...

So Charles resolutely pushed back his own thoughts, and said instead: "Aren't you going to invite me to lunch? Does that count?" He put the information back on the table as he spoke.

Victor looked at his slender fingers brushing the paper, and said with a smile, "Is this a reward? Get things done for me?"

"I never knew you would belittle yourself." Charles retorted calmly. "But if you change your mind, neither do I..."

"Of course not." Victor quickly interrupted what Charles hadn't finished speaking, and at the same time straightened the document intentionally or unintentionally, the side of his hand just brushed against Charles' fingertips. "I'm all set."

Sensing the temperature of the other person, Charles lowered his eyelashes slightly, then raised them again.This man's flirting skills are never sloppy, and he always pushes his limits, hum...

No matter who it is, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone loves him-the king cannot guarantee that all his subjects love him, and gold will fail in front of some people-let alone the target is a group of people who are not easy to fool at all?People who can be elected to the Academy of Sciences obviously meet this condition.

Although France's national slogan "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" has not yet been written into the national constitution, it has been raised during the Great Revolution, and the overall atmosphere is much more relaxed than that of Britain.Many university courses and even academic conferences are open to the public for free, which provides Charles with many opportunities——

He began to sit in on various academic lectures.Whether it is the target person or not, listen to it before talking, at least you can get acquainted.If there is an opportunity to answer questions, he will also take the opportunity - if you don't show off your knowledge now, when will you wait?

One day or two days will not attract the attention of others, so what about one month or two months?To succeed in this matter, the most important thing is not money, but patience; Charles, who has always pursued a low-key policy, happens to be very patient.The most difficult part is actually enough is enough. After all, Charles only wants to be a good businessman, not a good scientist.

The actual situation is faster than Shire's estimate.Within half a month, he managed to attract some people's attention.

One of the conversations, for example:

"Did you know? I ran into a young man today, and he completely caught up with my lecture ideas!"

"Your thinking? Isn't it still a hypothesis? The kind that hasn't figured out how to prove it yet?"

"It should be said that it turned out to be like this. After I came back, I thought about it again, and I think I know how to do the experiment!"

"Ah, really? Try it now!"

Another conversation, like this:

"There has never been a person who made me think he was so smart—a function problem, he calculated it faster than everyone else!"

"Are you kidding me? Did anyone else even include you?"

"Of course! Otherwise, what do you think I'm excited about?"

"In that case, would you mind introducing me next time? I want to see you too!"

"Of course not! That's exactly what I want to tell you!"

One more example at the end:

"Wait a minute, how do you feel that the man Augustine mentioned last time is also very handsome? The coincidence of appearance and name is really just a coincidence?"

"So, he is really handsome? No, the point is, are you talking about the same person?"

These private exchanges and speculations went from bottom to top, eventually sweeping researchers who were at the pinnacle of French mathematical sciences.So much so that when the word spread to Geneva, the version heard by Ampere had become "a genius in mathematics, physics and chemistry has been discovered in China!!!".

These three exclamation marks that do not conform to the rules of writing fully express the degree.

Are you really kidding him?Ampere, who was attending an international academic conference, was skeptical at first.But after reading the entire letter, he began to return to his heart.This young man may be right in other aspects, but dare to say that electricity and magnetism are not completely unrelated things?Can this kind of subversive point of view come from the mouth?

The author has something to say: That's why Ampere decided to come back and trouble Shire.

Charles: Welcome!I'm afraid you won't come! ∩(·ω·)∩Victor: Didn’t you say that you can be each other’s angels, so can you still have fun? (╯－＿－)╯╧╧
