How did the inventor die?

Was rolled to death!

Why in the nineteenth century, many inventors emerged, and many practical inventions were often personal inventions, but in the twentieth century, there were fewer and fewer inventors.On the one hand, technology is becoming more and more complex, which has surpassed the ability of individuals, and on the other hand, there is the emergence of testing institutions.

Before Edison created the "Edison Laboratory" and invented the innovative human sea tactics, inventors from all over the world were almost alone in their own laboratories, barns, carports, basements and bedrooms. Conduct research and experiments, and in Edison's laboratory, dozens or even hundreds of researchers will conduct a research at the same time to realize a certain idea.

The principle of "three cobblers top Zhuge Liang" applies to technological inventions, and the same is true.

In the end, Edison used the human wave tactics in the laboratory and used tens of thousands of failed experiments to successfully kill a large number of inventors. Edison's success gave companies an opportunity. Since then, the human wave tactics of research institutions have replaced inventions. The family fights alone.

Even the smartest inventor will be crushed to death in the end—for example, Tesla, when he moved against the trend and still used his own personal invention to fight against the times, the final outcome was nothing more than a poor death in the In a dilapidated hotel room.

Whether other inventors have been swept to death is still unknown, but Edison feels that he is about to be swept to death.

"Imperial Central Laboratory!"

Once again, when Edison was sitting on the grass and chanting the name, he even wanted to get a pack of dynamite and razed the laboratory to the ground.

Of course, this is impossible, he has no idea where the laboratory is.He had only heard of that laboratory.

But it was the laboratory he had heard of that destroyed everything about him, even his confidence.

This Daming is too curly.

I want to go back to the United States, I want to go back to the United States to start a similar laboratory, and then go to kill other inventors in the United States.

"I want to open my own "central laboratory"! It's in New York!"

Everyone has everyone's pursuit. When Edison began to move towards his ambition of "killing all American inventors", he didn't know that he had been targeted.

The person who stared at him was none other than Emperor Zhu. In fact, Emperor Zhu hadn’t paid much attention to Edison at all. After all, according to many later generations, Edison was more of a businessman than an inventor. identity.

A successful businessman, this is Edison's greatest achievement.

As for his many inventions, except for the early inventions, most of the other inventions came from the laboratory - he hired hundreds of technicians to work for him to help him make inventions. Nikola Tesla also once It's his company employee.They broke up largely because Edison and Tesla made a so-called "American joke"-after Tesla redesigned the DC motor for it, he asked Edison for a pre-agreed When the prize of [-] U.S. dollars was offered, Edison not only refused on the pretext of joking.He even refused to give Tesla a salary increase.

I am afraid that Edison never thought at that time that after resigning from his laboratory, Tesla would become his biggest competitor.

But compared with Tesla, what is Edison's biggest advantage?
One is the financial and prestige advantage.Another thing is that compared to Tesla, which is fighting alone, Edison has his own laboratory. In that laboratory, hundreds of technicians gather to work for Edison and his company.

It can be said that relying on the human sea tactics in the laboratory, even though he lost the current battle, Edison still had the last laugh.And what about Tesla?down and out...

For such an "inventor" who created a new era of "technical research", Emperor Zhu was not very grateful at all. As for the "comprehensive laboratory" he created, Ming Dynasty had already established a corresponding institution.

Whether it is the company's own research institute, research center, or the famous Imperial Central Laboratory - this laboratory that continuously introduces various new inventions relying on the technical information provided by Emperor Zhu is a large comprehensive laboratory. Neither the scale nor the efficiency of Edison's Monroe Laboratory can compare.

"Synchronous transmitter..."

Looking at the reports in the newspaper about the use of this new invention, Emperor Zhu was more interested in the inventor Edison.

"I didn't expect to come to Daming and join the telegraph and telephone company..."

In addition to sighing, Emperor Zhu was a little curious that Edison was in the state of Ming Dynasty now.

"Is there a feeling of living in the shadows?"

Emperor Zhu said to himself with a bit of admiration.

Why do you say that?
Wax paper mimeographs, carbon microphones, carbonized bamboo filament lamps, electric meters, phonographs, movie players, nickel-iron fuses, electric buttons, current cut-offs, um, and the Edison-style beneficiation that was put into use more than ten years ago Machines, these inventions are... Edison's inventions.

It can be said that Emperor Zhu completely... plagiarized Edison's inventions, and even the number one product of some products still bears the logo of "Edison Company".

"This... I'm really sorry!"

Emperor Zhu sighed.

In this regard, Emperor Zhu is absolutely successful. Edison's life path was basically killed by him, even Tesla's alternating current, It was plagiarized by Emperor Zhu.

"However, presumably with Edison's ingenuity, he should also have some new inventions. Maybe he will achieve higher achievements in other areas."

The future of Edison is of course unpredictable, but gold always shines, so there is no need to doubt it.

"Hey, maybe this is what it's like to live in the shadows!"

In addition to sighing, Emperor Zhu glanced at the report in the newspaper again, looked at Edison standing next to the "four-channel synchronous transmitter" in the newspaper, and shook his head and sighed lightly.

Edison is not easy!
It was not easy, and it can even be said that he was hit very badly. Edison never knew that his life had been almost completely stolen by others. He lived under the shadow of giants, and he had already attributed everything to the "Daming-style laboratory". Blame it on "scientific crowd tactics."

"...I believe that this is the secret of the rise of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Morgan, I believe that if I get your funding, I can establish an American "central laboratory" in the United States. Of course, this one is named after you. Laboratory, with this laboratory, you will have access to the most advanced technology in the world."

Edison, who was lying on the table, had complicated emotions when he wrote the letter. Originally, he could start a small-scale laboratory, but after witnessing the high efficiency of those laboratories in Daming, he wanted to establish a large-scale laboratory. Bigger lab.

With insufficient funds, of course it is impossible for him to start this laboratory on his own, so he thought of seeking funding. Morgan is the most prestigious banker in New York in recent years. Although Edison does not know him, it is not necessary. prevent him from asking him for help.

However, when the letter was about to be finished, Edison suddenly frowned, looking at the letter in front of him, he said to himself.

"This letter will lead to nothing at all!"

Standing up suddenly, Edison walked back and forth in the study, talking to himself while walking.

"Going back to the United States, I have to go back to the United States, and then personally convince Morgan to invest in my laboratory."

After finishing speaking, Edison clapped his hands vigorously, and then said a little excitedly.

"Yes, that's right, that's it!"

What he didn't know was that when he made the decision to return to the United States, Morgan, the big money man in his eyes, came to Yingtian.
