His Excellency the Count of Grandet

Returning to Paris every year during or after winter has almost become an unstoppable itinerary for Charles.Because grapes ripen according to the solar terms, sooner or later it is only a few days.However, since Shire is already familiar with this aspect, and the price in his hand has increased, this matter has become less and less difficult and takes less and less time.

In any case, a large number of people expressed their delight at the fact that Charles had arrived in Paris in early November.

First of all, of course, Guillaume.He hoped for the stars and the moon to bring Shire back, and he was so distressed that he almost shed tears—two months of sea travel!Leaving aside storms, you can only eat pickled vegetables, salted fish, and dry bread on a transoceanic ship!He gave Shire the best things he could get since he was a child. When did he let Shire suffer like this?

"You're thinking too much; it's natural to eat all kinds of fresh seafood at sea!" Of course, fresh fruits and vegetables are really precious, and they are basically non-existent.

Charles comforted his father so much, but Guillaume didn't believe it at all—during the days when Charles went to the United States, he went to the pier when he was free, and heard many exciting and dangerous sea adventure stories. "If you can let others pass, let others pass! You can't do this again in the future!"

Charles was helpless.It was because he knew that Guillaume's backlash would be fierce, so he dared to write to Guillaume before boarding the ship, saying that he had gone to the United States with the delegation.He still thought that his father would have nothing to say when the group returned safely, but it still didn't work!

"I will listen to you from now on, okay?" He compromised.Anyway, he really didn't have that much time to go to the United States again - almost two months wasted time on the ship, it really couldn't be hurt!

Guillaume's face is better now.In fact, he also knew that when Charles grew up, he could no longer help his son take care of everything as before.From a business point of view, it is definitely good to be able to grow bigger and bigger.It's just that, in his opinion, it doesn't have to be the United States; aren't there many countries in Europe that can cooperate?

After appeasing the father at home, Charles can free up his energy to deal with other people.

Victor didn't need to mention it, he immediately asked Charles to come over to talk about it.As for what this is about, only the two of them know.

Then there are colleagues from the Academy of Sciences.

Charles left Paris for more than half a year, which is really a long time in today's scientific world-Oster discovered electricity, and subsequent research has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and it is almost unstoppable!

Typical people, let's say Faraday.If he was comfortable with life in Paris, he was at ease with his work in the laboratory.

Because Charles had invited him to do experiments on electromagnetism, and Ampere's laboratory was also focusing on this direction, it was a perfect coincidence.In addition, Ampere doesn't interfere and support him like David, so he has more time; moreover, Ampere has received a systematic scientific education, enough to give him advice on theoretical derivation——

Faraday always had admiration for a scientific giant like Ampere; now, when he came into contact with him, he found that he didn't have any big-name airs on him, and he felt that he was much easier to get along with than David.As for Ampere, he didn't know Faraday at first, but now he appreciates it very much-not to mention his professional attitude, Faraday's talent in experiments is simply unmatched!

One is biased towards experimentation, the other is biased toward theory, a perfectly complementary partner rhythm!

Because of this, at the international conference held in Geneva in August, the jaws of the participants from all over the world were shocked——

Ampere's laboratory alone has produced nearly twenty papers!The content is very systematic, from the discovery of regular phenomena, to the deduction of mathematical equations, to the design of patent solutions, everything is there!Most of them are the results of Faraday and Ampere, and there are as many as twelve papers signed by them!

Are Ampere and Faraday crazy, or are they crazy?This kind of plot that can't even be imagined has actually become a reality?

"Then I have to say that reality is often more dramatic than fiction." Charles said after hearing this. "Anyway, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you! Although it is late, considering that I was bitten by mosquitoes and threatened by alligators that may come at any time in the jungle on the lower Mississippi River, you should not Do you mind?"

"I have to say, it's hard for me to mind." Faraday replied dryly.It was Charles who provided him with a place other than the Royal Society in London, it was Charles who prepared for him all the basics of life in Paris, and it was Charles who fully supported his large expenditures in experimental research—

Now that he has finally gained some fame in the world, can this be due to Shire?Just kidding, what more could he ask of Shire?

Ampere cast a first glance at Farah before saying: "While Michael doesn't mind, I don't. Do you remember that you promised me to come with us to the Geneva Conference?" International conferences are held regularly; Charles never When the United States returned to France, they had already returned to Paris from Switzerland and completely missed it.

"It was indeed my negligence." Charles admitted, a little embarrassed.Whether it was inevitable or not, he was a little bit broken.

With such a good attitude of admitting mistakes, Ampere couldn't let it out even if he was angry, not to mention that he said this just to pave the way for the following words. "Next year," he said emphatically, "you must make time in advance!"

"Definitely!" Charles promised, "I will prepare everything when the time comes!"

Ampere expressed his satisfaction, and the topic was dropped.The three engineering men got together, and the conversation quickly turned back to scientific experiments, with words such as spiral coil current field lines flying all over the sky.

Research generally has two goals, exploring the unknown and expanding practical applications.No matter what kind of research, as long as it has a little value, it must meet either of the two.If it can be matched at the same time, it will be a very good result; and electromagnetism just embodies this point vividly.In fact, its value is huge enough to drive the industrial revolution, which can sweep the entire scientific community.

"...I've been making continuous improvements to the generator," Faraday said, "and it will probably be a few months before it's fully tuned."

"Don't worry," Charles said, "I don't want to pressure you to rush to work. In fact, I think you're fast enough!" Of course, the generators of this era cannot be compared with those of the future, but compared to manpower, they are divided Minutes away to N streets; that's enough!

"When the pilot test is almost over, we will go to your factory together. You must have the foresight to choose the location of the factory by the river, right?" Ampere said.

Charles smiled.After they went to the field, they would find that this was a sure thing—his factory site was not only chosen by the river?It was precisely set up near the place with the largest drop in the river!This is to avoid the long-distance transportation of electric current - direct current will rapidly decay during long-distance transportation, while the situation of alternating current is much more complicated, it is not so easy to research and put into production and application, it can only be used as a long-term development goal!

But having said that, even so, the efficiency of Ampere and Faraday can already be called amazing.Many scientists in this era are all-rounders - can speak several languages, have studied mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc., and have strong hands-on skills - which is perfect for project development!

"There are simply no more talented scholars in this world than you!" Charles said sincerely.It is not an exaggeration for him to say this - electricity is the pioneer of a new era!

"If I want to respond appropriately, should I say that you are the world's most talented businessman? Or an industrialist?" Ampere replied jokingly, half-truth and half-false.

"Or the most genius vision?" Faraday added. "I heard that people have given you a middle name without authorization, called the Shire who 'must make money no matter what you do'?"

Charles couldn't help laughing. "The topics that people talk about are always getting more and more exaggerated. Those who don't know it are fine, but if you know it, you still say that, aren't you just making fun of me?"

"I don't dare to do that." Faraday was also happy, "If I offend anyone now, I can't offend you, right?"

The corners of Charles' mouth curled up higher.He remembered Faraday coming to him, inevitably glum; "Although it may be a bit of a disappointment, has the problem that bothered you before been solved?"

This issue is undoubtedly an incident of plagiarism.Faraday paused with a smile, and still replied: "I think it should be resolved."

"What's supposed to be?" Charles felt that this description meant that Faraday hadn't made Wollaston's letter public.

"It's solved." Ampere took the conversation and explained: "Michael and I attended the Geneva meeting together, and David also went. So, after we finish our research results, what do you think everyone will think? "

The person who was considered plagiarized before changed his place to do research, and immediately achieved remarkable results; what do you think?

Charles raised his eyebrows slightly.In scientific research, the environment and instruments are secondary conditions, and the most important thing is the mind; if a person really plagiarizes the results of others, it is impossible to make his own achievements in many places; let alone so many Papers, some people can't do it all their lives!

——For David, it was a slap in the face every minute!And in front of scientists all over the world!This face is slapped, tsk tsk, is it swollen to death?

"This is what you deserve; what you have done deserves applause and glory!" Charles said to Faraday, mixed with satisfaction and pride.

Faraday was a little shy to be praised so bluntly. "Thank you very much. But, please stop talking," he said, with an imperceptible begging for mercy in his tone, "You know, I'm not very good at words..."

So do you just say thank you for compliments from others?

Charles and Ampere looked at each other, couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.
