When you hear the sound, you don’t have to look up Andre to know that this must be his bad friend Anathor.

"This is for you first, I'm looking for Pravdao." Andre threw the Sun in his hand directly to Anatordor.

Anatol took the Sun and started reading it. Andrei quickly found Pravda and read it seriously.

"So that's the case! That's right. Actually, I should have known it a long time ago. We just learned about resistance and heating last month. Moreover, have we had an incandescent lamp with platinum filament? I should have thought it was an incandescent lamp!" Andre was so excited that the newspaper in his hand trembled.

"Well, this was the case last night, ah, there are rewarding activities, oh, I have been overspending in Europe during this period..." Anatol also began to fall into deep thought with the Sun.

The two of them stood by the roadside reading newspapers so much that the public carriage had already arrived and they didn't have time to notice it.

Finally, Wajia reminded them: "Young Master, Young Master, the carriage is here!"

"Ah!" Andrei woke up and might be late if he didn't hurry up and get on the carriage. He grabbed Anatol, who was still thinking about how much money he had in his pocket, ran towards the carriage.

In class that day, Andre learned more about electric lights, and he also got a message: Soon, there were electric lights in the library at night.

It is said that this is a benefit that President Bonaparte made a request to Bonaparte to rule, specifically for various schools in France. Now the scope of this benefit is limited to Paris, but it will be promoted to the entire country soon. This benefit is that the state will provide free two lights for lighting to each school with a size of more than 100 students, and provide free electricity for lighting for six hours a day. If the school purchases and installs the lights themselves, the electricity bill can be 50% off within a certain range.

When he returned to his residence and met several of his latest friends from the "National Saving Council" in a cafe near the school, he told them the news.

"I heard of it, Andre. Alas, we may not be able to run into this cafe after school to drink coffee and review our homework. Because we all have to grab the library seats."

The person who spoke was Levin, who studied chemistry. His homework was not as tight as Andre, but it was not comparable to those who studied art. Grasping the location of the library was also their compulsory course.

"Yes," Andre sighed, "but my teacher said that he had applied to install one in our laboratory. Maybe I won't have to go to the library at that time."

"What? Ah, do you think our teacher will install one in the laboratory? I read the newspaper and said that the lowest-grade electric lights are actually very cheap. Although the use time is only about half of the high-end products."

"Oh, it's obvious that we Russia have been left behind by the civilized world." Ivan, who studied literature, also interrupted, "It's okay that we have been pulled away in science and technology. With people like you who love learning, we can still see some hope. But in terms of system, we are really pulled too far by France. Look, the French are not stupider than the Russians, right?"

Andre and Levin nodded together. France is now clearly ahead of Russia in science. To be honest, in the eyes of Western Europeans, Russians can only be considered half a civilized person. Most Europeans think that Russians are stupid. Although the Russians hate this view full of racial discrimination, they want them to look back and say that the French and British are stupider than the Russians, they can't say this.

"Everyone is human, Russia has smart people, France has; Russia has fools, France has many. The key is that the French have received more education," said Andre.

"That's right, Andre. Russians are not stupider than French, but Russia's population is much smaller than France. Oh, don't rush to refute, I mean the number of real people. Can Andre, those serfs who have no freedom and have not been educated, really count them? Among them, the chances of scientists, writers, and artists appearing compared to free French people, even the bottom French people? If you want to calculate the number of people who can have an upward channel and have the opportunity to show your talents, Russia's population is actually far smaller than those of European countries such as France and Britain." Ivan explained.

"You're right." Levin agreed, "Look at France, they even have to equip every school with electric lights! And I heard that this is just an initial plan, and they will continue to invest in education in the future. How will France develop when the French children who are generally educated grow up.

If the Russians at the bottom of the country also had the opportunity to receive compulsory education like French and Prussian children, then we would definitely be great again and even really recreate the glory of Eastern Rome. But now, we regard too many people as livestock. This will only make us farther and farther away from Europe.

Do you know, my uncle also studied in Europe. At that time, I asked him how big the gap between us and Europe was. He thought for a while and said to me, "Maybe the gap between us and the Turks." At that time, I thought he was too exaggerating, but now it seems that either he told lies out of self-esteem; or, during this period, Europe represented by France was accelerating and we were thrown farther. Now, the gap between us and them is no longer the gap between us and the Turks, and is even close to the gap between us and the Tatars. If this continues, we will be fired from civilized people.

We must change, we cannot watch the great Russia fall into the darkness, so Russia must have changes, and there must be revolution!"

"Revolution?" Andre was surprised. He was indeed not satisfied with the current situation in Russia, but he hoped to change all this through moderate changes, or less moderate changes like Peter the Great, but the revolution...

"Yes, revolution!" said the word "revolution", Ivan's face turned red, as if he had drunk mellow wine.

"Many guys are using various means to slander the revolution, slander the revolution, and describe the revolution as the carnival of the thugs, unnecessary violence, and betrayal of God. But I want to say that this is all nonsense! If the thugs, those who derogate the originally free people into animals, aren't thugs? Unnecessary violence? Is it said that the resistance of the slaves was not followed by the sword and whip of the slave owner? If the resistance of the slave is called unnecessary violence, then are the violence of the slave owners necessary? As for God, when God created our ancestors, did he teach them that your descendants should not live in equality, do not love each other, but should exploit and persecute each other? Who betrayed God!

Andre, Levin, think about it again, can the things you have learned really be useful when you return to Russia? You see, how many people who have studied engineering have really returned to Russia? Why? Are they not patriotic? No, it’s just because in this era, what they have learned has no place to use in Russia!

So France, can it naturally give all knowledgeable people a place to use their skills? No, no! At least, it was not before the Revolution! France was able to have today because they used thunder and flames to cleanse all the slags that blocked France's progress in the revolution, so that France could have today's prosperity.

The sufferings encountered by the Russian people are far more than France. If one-tenth of the sufferings our people endure, if they put them in the French, it would be enough for them to initiate a hundred uprisings. We Russia have a bad habit, which is that we always like to praise suffering and always like to praise endurance of suffering. But isn’t patience of suffering a condolence of evil?

Andre, Levin, I'm sure that if one day Russia can reach the top of the world, it must be after a revolution like the French, using thunder and flames to sweep away the slags. I believe this is the only way for Russia to move to greatness."

"You are right, Ivan." Andrei was also excited. "When I first came to France, I just wanted to learn science and technology well. After I went back, I would either open a factory or teach in a university, and pass on all the knowledge I learned to others, so as to gradually enhance our Russians' belief in science.

But you are right, we don't have time to come slowly like this. The gap between us and France is not narrowing, but expanding, and it is accelerating. As I thought before, Russia can also move forward slowly. Perhaps in a generation, we can also get closer to the level of France today. But by that time, the French would have been running farther. We are riding a snail to chase the carriage. Well, let's say, do I need me to do something for Russia and the revolution?"

"Andre, my friend, my brother. The time for revolution is not yet fully ripe, so you just need to continue to study hard for the time being. If you return to Russia in the future, you can spread science and democracy and evoke more people who are willing to revolution.

Andre, I have studied the French revolution. The French revolution was not born out of thin air. The French people were once able to endure suffering, just like our people. But Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu first appeared in France, and enlightenment appeared. After that, more French people awakened, and the French revolution was born. This is why France is today.

What about us? We have not even completed enlightenment now. How can we gain without sowing? We still need to do sowing things at present. Of course, the spring and summer in Russia are very short, and our movements must be faster than the French. : :

I believe that now we have done what the French did yesterday, and then the French today will definitely become our tomorrow."
