Chapter 769: Ming Dynasty's Dimensionality Reduction Attack (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Gotta find someone!
Someone who can infiltrate the "Imperial Central Laboratory".
Is there a suitable candidate?
In the next few days, Brian was looking for candidates.
"First of all, this person must be qualified to be a candidate for admission to the 'Central Laboratory', which means that this person must be a scholar, an inventor."
"Secondly, this person is willing to cooperate with us."
"Of course, the most important thing is that he must have no direct relationship with us, so that no one is destined to know of his existence."
Is there a suitable candidate there?
As Brian was having a headache finding the right candidate among list of candidates.
Edison, a researcher at the Technical Research Center of the Ming Telegraph and Telephone Company, once again entered the laboratory.
As usual, after entering the laboratory, he drank coffee and talked to himself while studying the power supply system on the drawing.
"In principle, there should be no problem. The problem is the shared power system of the telephone. The telephone only needs to be slightly improved. As long as the shared power system is solved, the application prospects of the telephone will be more extensive and it can really enter thousands of households."
In the past ten years, the telephone technology in Ming Dynasty has made rapid progress, from magnetic telephone to carbon telephone, from short-distance call to long-distance call. The hand-cranked magnetic telephone has been popularized in Ming Dynasty since two years ago, but this popularity is limited to government agencies and some enterprises, and at most the military.
When Edison came to the Ming Dynasty and witnessed the convenience of the telephone, he came up with the idea of improving the telephone.
"What the market needs is a shared-power telephone that doesn't require a cumbersome hand-crank generator, and everyone can pick up the phone and make a call..."
It was because of this idea that Edison began his improvement of the telephone. In fact, this is also his greatest characteristic - looking for inventions with application prospects in the market, then improving them, and finally launching them on the market.
Of course, when Edison threw himself into the invention of improving the telephone, he did not know that in another world, it was he who invented the magnetic telephone with carbon transmitter + handle + calling device (electric bell) + hand-cranked generator + dry battery in 1877. He also invented the telephone exchange. If it were not for his invention, the telephone would at most be just an expensive toy.
However, in this world, this kind of telephone was introduced several years earlier with the help of the prototype provided by Emperor Zhu. When Edison made his first phone call and was amazed, he didn't know that this... was actually his invention.
Just as Edison was staring at the drawings, the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant researcher who walked in said to him.
"Edison, Edison, go to Lab 3 quickly. A new telephone system has been delivered from the Central Lab."
"What? Central Labs? New phone system?"
This was not the first time that Edison had seen the "invention" sent by the central laboratory, but when he heard the "new telephone system", he was shocked and suddenly a little nervous.
"…By using the shared power system, this shared power telephone does not require a hand crank to generate electricity. You can just pick up the phone and talk directly…"
Although Edison didn't speak Chinese fluently, he still understood it. After listening to the researcher's introduction, Edison was completely stunned. He stood there like a fool, his eyes fixed on the telephone.
At this time, the researcher picked up the phone.
"Hello, number 1024."
How, how could this happen!
Edison was confused. He felt his mind was in chaos. He, he...this was his idea!
How, how could this happen?
Could it be that someone rushed into his brain and dug out his ideas? He found that this system was surprisingly similar to his ideas, as if it was a direct copy, and of course it was more mature.
And this is the real thing, while his... is still on paper.
"No, oh my God, this, this is not possible!"
Edison was completely stunned. At that moment, in his sight, the small phone seemed to have turned into a mountain, completely submerging him in the shadow of the mountain.
In the end, Edison didn't even know what they were talking about. He returned to the laboratory like a fool, looked at his drawings, and then tore everything up in a rage.
Half a year!
A full half year has passed, from the time this idea came up half a year ago to now... Edison has completely collapsed!
"Damn it, how could this world become like this!"
After cursing like crazy, Edison skipped work and rode his bike along the road beside the new Qinhuai River. He needed to relax.
Relax, there is no other way, as an inventor, he is very depressed.
Why is this happening?
The invention world of the Ming Dynasty is really amazing!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take his experience today as an example. He worked hard on his own for half a year, from the time the inspiration came to him to the beginning of research, and then to searching for information from all aspects and studying. It took him a full half a year to solve some of the problems.
But then what?
He was hit by a dimensionality reduction attack - the Imperial Central Laboratory directly launched a very mature product, which was mature enough to be directly put on the market.
How could it be immature?
Because this technology itself originated from the mall, the researchers in the laboratory conducted research based on the corresponding technical information, and it only took a few months.
"Damn it, why is there such a laboratory?"
While riding the bicycle, Edison couldn't help complaining again. He complained about the existence of that institution and the new inventions that emerged from that laboratory every day.
The inventions of the "Imperial Central Laboratory" are definitely an insurmountable mountain for inventors.
God can testify that Edison worked hard for half a year to solve many of the technical problems, but what was the use?
In the Imperial Central Laboratory, a group of technicians were engaged in research based on the technical information provided by Emperor Zhu and the annual progress of decryption. With the efforts of everyone, new products and inventions came into being.
"Damn it, how can they bully people like this?"
Finally, Edison threw his bicycle on the grass, sat on the ground and shouted loudly into the river.
"You are simply using your numbers to bully the few..."
No martial ethics...
In fact, Edison couldn't say that, because this invention model that combines the strengths of many people was created by him. He didn't know how many inventors his Edison Laboratory had killed in history. There were no more inventors after him.
Because individuals can never win over institutions...
