Newton was actually very optimistic about Stephenson's creativity. If you think about it carefully, it is a very cool thing to see a giant steam engine speeding on the road.
But not now. The King of Britain is stupid enough to participate in any war. He insists on building some kind of dreadnought-class battleship to compete with the supply ships of the Dragon Flame people.
In Newton's opinion, this was ridiculously stupid.
However, the development of the Dreadnought-class battleship has been able to arouse his interest.
Newton glanced at Stephenson, who was worried about gains and losses, and suddenly thought that he might introduce this guy to Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng was a Longyan man and he also had very deep research on giant steam engines.
They might have something in common.
Newton looked at Stephenson and shouted: "Stephenson, come to my place tonight."
Stephenson glanced at Newton and said calmly: "I won't go. The last time I went to your house, I was hungry all day."
Hearing this sentence, there was a vague mocking sound around Newton.
This is something Newton could do.
However, there was no trace of embarrassment on Newton's face, and he continued: "There is a woman who knows how to cook in my house. She is sent by God to cook for her husband."
"She is easy to talk to. If you don't mind, you can ask her to prepare a dinner for you."
After hearing this, everyone put down their work and turned their heads to look at Newton like a monster.
"Newton, do you have a wife?"
"It's simply a miracle that someone can marry you."
"What have you done that God has given you a wife..."
Newton was stunned for a moment, looking at his curious colleagues, his brows gradually furrowed.
"You are wrong. The person who did not receive God's favor was a friend of mine."
Well, a friend.
Everyone equated this friend with Newton in their hearts.
Newton was very famous in the circle, partly because of his academic reputation, and partly because of his weird temper.
He loves research so much that no woman can tolerate a man who only knows research.
They also need nourishment and companionship, but Newton chose scientific research.
So they were full of curiosity about Newton having a wife.
Newton ignored them. Regarding the things they were concerned about, it was simply an insult to Newton. How could he, a great scientist, waste time on such trivial matters?
Someone once asked him if he needed an heir to inherit his ambition. Newton's answer was: 'Not really. If the Lord allows me to have an heir, he will definitely tell me.'
Upon hearing this, the man expressed helplessness at that time.
After that, there was no other news.
Facing Newton's invitation, Stephenson thought for a while and was worried that he had no place to go tonight, so he might as well go to Newton's house for a meal.
"Okay, I'll go to your house after get off work."
From sunrise to sunset, no time passes.
Stephenson followed Newton back home.
An unbridled journey.
Arriving at the door of Newton's house, Stephenson suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Newton's home was actually brightly lit, and after Newton opened the door, what Stephenson saw was not the haunted house-like scene before.
Stephenson's family was poor when he was a child, and his father was a coal miner. However, he was born into a mechanical family, and his mother had to take care of their eight children at the same time.
