Chapter 30: The Invention King and the Electromagnetic King
Regarding Edison, the opinions are extremely mixed.
History textbooks call him a genius, inventor, and entrepreneur.
Modern Internet public opinion calls him a copyright vampire, saying that he has never invented anything, and that those inventions belong to Tesla.
Sometimes, humans are so strange.
For another person or another thing, the view will become "completely opposite" because of a little bit of "unexpectedness".
Scientifically speaking, this way of thinking is called "generalizing from the partial".
The typical example is Edison.
Presumably almost everyone who has come into contact with Edison has read his inspirational stories in history textbooks or Chinese textbooks, such as trying filaments again and again, or reading books according to size in a street bookstore.
Later, as more intelligence came from more sources, I gradually came to know other aspects of this person. For example, this person especially liked to apply for patents and used patents to make profits. He had filed hundreds of lawsuits in his life.
So some people wonder: Aren't you a scientist? How can a scientist love money? How can a scientist do such a selfish thing?
After that, these people erased all Edison's achievements.
Similarly, there is Columbus who discovered the American continent.
This is very subtle.
Why do humans have to be perfect?
Couldn't he be an inventor and also like to make money? Couldn't Columbus be a devil who brought disaster to the Indians and at the same time be a navigator who made outstanding contributions to the history of world navigation?
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly thought of the many negative remarks about Edison that he had seen on the Internet before coming to Chaldea, such as that the light bulb was invented by Tesla, that DC did not exist, that it was Edison's lie, and that Edison had not actually done any research.
He just took over other people's research results. The so-called thousand inventions are actually a thousand plagiarisms.
Originally, I wanted to ask him what he thought of this situation. I mentioned before that if the super robot could not attract him, then Fujimaru Ritsuka was going to use this topic to ask.
But looking at it now, there is no need to ask this kind of question.
Edison spread out a piece of white paper, changed to a pen, and just brushed a few times without even using a ruler to draw beautiful straight lines. The combination of lines and lines turned into something similar to an engine case.
thing.
He talked about some characteristics of the physics of direct current, but unfortunately Fujimaru Ritsuka's high school knowledge was really not up to par and he couldn't understand it at all. Just watch Edison explain while constantly adding details to this thing, such as pipes,
Additional external chassis, etc.
After just a few strokes, I heard Edison say: "No! This design won't work! Well, it should be designed as an octagon from the beginning! This might actually increase the expansion space and combine multiple units! Yes, if you recompose the picture, it should
That’s right!”
He muttered - although it was muttered, but judging from his voice, it was basically roaring - a new machine concept soon appeared on the white paper.
For a genius inventor like him, the opinions of ordinary people like him don't matter at all, right?
There's nothing wrong with being revered as a genius inventor.
It's okay to be relegated to being a copyright vampire.
Because this is all Edison.
Without any of them, Edison is not complete. The shortcomings cannot be erased because of his inventions, and the advantages cannot be erased because of his stinginess.
This lion head, at least now, is serious and down-to-earth and constantly conceiving new inventions.
That kind of people……
Fujimaru Ritsuka always felt that he was not a bad person.
Why would he be willing to watch human history collapse?
She didn't know, she only knew one thing: she had to stop it.
By the way, President Edison spent five hours drawing pictures.
Finally, it looks a bit like a super robot.
How should I put it? Unlike the Gundams that everyone has in mind, the robots designed by Edison are not in human form at all.
"Bipedal walking is not necessary for a machine! The legs are designed as variable chariot legs that can be switched between multiple situations! They are filled with weapons! DC is invincible! Hum hum, oh oh oh
!My Edison Special DC must be much more powerful than that guy’s steel giant Babbage!”
Edison proudly took out a design drawing.
However, this design drawing is too hard-core. It contains various extension lines, various explanatory texts, three-view anatomy, and the combination mode of internal mechanical parts. Looking at it, Fujimaru Ritsuka is like reading a book from heaven.
not understand.
"Well, I, I don't quite understand."
"Well, that's right! Hum hum, when the time comes, I will develop a current version for you to see! Hum hum, you will definitely be able to make the most fair decision! My Edison Special DC number is even more powerful
!I guarantee you will say that!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to continue praising him when he heard the door being pushed open. Helena came in with a frown, glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and understood something at that time, and said: "President King, how can I have time for you?"
I'm enjoying my time making inventions. Now I have to concentrate all my energy on analyzing the Holy Grail, but everyone in the development department said they haven't received your drawings yet."
"Oh oh oh oh! That's right!!! I forgot about it!!! Damn it!!! Why did you suddenly get distracted!!!!"
Edison roared in annoyance, and Fujimaru Ritsuka was so frightened that he thought to himself: Could it be that he got angry and wanted to do something to me?!
Snapped!!
As if to reflect her mood, Edison patted her shoulders with both hands...
"You!!! Fujimaru Ritsuka!!!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I, I, I, I..."
"You must have been!!!!"
"No, no, no, no! I didn't!"
"You are sure!! That's right!!! You can't be wrong!!!! You must have been given a hint by that mediocre Tesla!!! It was the mediocre person who asked you to come here to provoke me!!! Damn Tesla!!!"
!!!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, are you trying to hinder me in this way!!!Tesla!!!!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eardrums are almost ruptured now, and all she can hear is a lion roaring with abandon.
Helena sighed, pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka away, and urged her to go back.
Once Edison enters this state, he will be in trouble.
This man and Tesla can be said to be old enemies, just like Karna and Arjuna. However, the two can still reconcile, after all, they are still blood relatives, and the two do not hate each other very much, basically because of their respective
Due to their stance, both of them were very open-minded.
Tesla and Edison are different. One is alternating current and the other is direct current. Tesla was squeezed out by Edison during his lifetime. Edison's company's biggest competitor was also Tesla's company. It can be said that these two people were at each other's throats.
The fight lasted a lifetime.
Outsiders will not understand this feeling.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was almost pushed back by Helena. It was obvious that Helena found out that they were obstructing the President. Fujimaru Ritsuka went out angrily and saw Yagi Sekssai with his head downcast.
"How's it going, Yagi-senpai? Have you found a breakthrough?"
"No. Where are you?"
"Let's let Edison research in other directions. What should we do?"
"There is no way... to wait."
Yagi Xuezai sighed. If Moriarty were here, he would definitely be able to come up with better ideas. However, his intelligence has not yet reached Moriarty's level. Thinking about it this way, the professor is returning to Ga.
When I was being tortured, I even told him to change himself back as soon as the fight was over...
