His Excellency the Count of Grandet

Charles, who put his name and person on the number, was too excited and almost followed Faraday back to the laboratory.However, he managed to control his feet, pretending to be calm and continuing to ask: "From his appearance, he seems to be working very hard?"

If it were someone else, Sir Banks might not be able to notice.But Faraday has been working under David for six years. From the son of a blacksmith with little education to the research results that can be published, it is not inspiring.Moreover, Banks is old, and he will not be able to hold the post of President of the Royal Society for long; the next president, the most popular one is David, of course he is familiar with it.

So Banksy has a lot to say about that.In the process of the two walking out of the dome building, he told Shire everything he knew: from Faraday's poor background, to Faraday's religious beliefs, to Faraday's perfect performance in experiments.

Charles nodded while listening, but his heart was already about to shout excitedly——

Faraday in textbooks!Young and alive!

At this time, we have to explain why Shire's reaction is so great - there is no other reason, it is because his undergraduate major is in mechanics.After graduating, he joined an international heavy industry company as a technician, and worked his way from the workshop director to the CEO of the Asian region, during which he studied for an EMBA degree.Because of his strong working ability and rapid promotion, he was only in his thirties at this time.

With this situation, becoming a domineering president is just around the corner...

Wait, the style of painting is wrong!It should be said this way: If you are so proud of your career, how can you be a winner in life?

Well, the focus is skewed, break it back.As a graduate majoring in mechanical engineering, Faraday's name is astonishing - as long as he has studied the compulsory course of electromagnetism, he will be a ghost if he doesn't know Faraday, okay?Electromagnetic phenomena, magneto-optical effect, law of conservation of charge, Maxwell's equations...

Well, it's getting farther.This matter is actually an important point, that is——

The famous Faraday is still working as a chemical experiment assistant!Please hurry up to study electromagnetism, please hurry up and invent generators!Life without electricity, simple, straight, order, human, collapse, collapse!

To be honest, it was a matter of minutes for Charles to explain the principle of the generator.If necessary, he can also draw all kinds of engine drawings, from two cylinders to four cylinders, with pistons or with levers, it doesn't matter.

It's just that knowing the principle and being able to make it are two different things, and successful experiments and industrialization are two different things.Charles felt that if he devoted himself to research, he might be able to produce something; but this is not what he is best at, and the ratio of input to output is really inappropriate—if he devoted himself to the cause of science from the beginning, and did not do a good job of his own The wine business didn't get rid of Logan and Suche, so the Grandet family is on the verge of bankruptcy now, right?

The economic base determines the superstructure, and Charles felt that this made sense.He is not in the direction of scientific research, of course he will not consider himself, but consider who else can.

And now, a most suitable candidate popped up——

Who better than Faraday?You know, the generator was originally invented by him!

This was another reason why Charles didn't want to do it himself.A lot of the knowledge he has learned has not been researched yet. If he keeps it for himself, he will always feel guilty of plagiarism.And now, if he can make Faraday's research less detours, wouldn't it be a better choice?

Out of this mentality, Charles couldn't help asking a few more questions, not focusing on chemistry at all.

In this way, Sir Banks discovered that Shire was very interested in Faraday, and more concerned about Faraday's hobbies.Although he felt that Charles's interest seemed a bit inexplicable, he felt that it was not a bad thing——

Victor asked Shire to come because he wanted to invest in a certain technology, so he prepared a large sum of money; and he was optimistic about Faraday, thinking that this young man must have made achievements, and the only thing missing was a generous patron.

So, isn't it just right to get together on both sides?

Sir Banks made some calculations in his mind, and felt that it might be easier to agree on Shire's side, but it might take some effort on Faraday's side.But no matter what, this is a good thing, and there is no problem for him to push it!

In this way, Charles got many opportunities to continue to the chemistry hall.David is not often in the laboratory. Usually, only Farah No.1 conducts experiments, and Wollaston from the next-door laboratory occasionally comes to visit.

This is exactly what Charles wants.He knew from Sir Banks that Faraday came from a poor background, but he was a devout Sandimanian (a branch of Christianity) who was not at all in favor of others; People who study (scientists in this period generally lived in distress).

Therefore, throwing money in the face may be able to easily persuade other people, but it will definitely not be able to persuade Faraday.

"But I don't think it's too much of a problem if it's you," Sir Banks told the Shire. "You're not like the rest; you're the most knowledgeable businessman I've ever met. I trust him will find out."

Shire was a little ashamed, because Sir Banks said this based on his common sense of chemistry-his common sense is not common sense in this era!Always beware of leaking words!

However, this low-key way of dealing with people is obviously to Faraday's appetite.Two weeks after they met, Faraday took the initiative to invite Charles to sit in on his chemistry class for poor friends, because Charles could help him demonstrate the experiment.

Charles agreed without hesitation.Alphonse was fine that day, so he went to see it with Charles and was immediately stunned.After they returned to the rented hotel, he couldn't wait to ask Shire: "Have you been doing this recently? Dealing with those people?" When he said "those people", he emphasized his voice.

As soon as Charles heard it, he knew that Alphonse didn't care about people at all.But it was almost certain, from the point of view of a normal person, that it was unseemly and ungentlemanly for a man of their position to mingle with a group of poor people.

But who knows that the opportunity to witness cross-age inventions is just around the corner?

"If you're not interested, don't use it." Charles warned Alphonse in a rare serious tone, "Michael doesn't like people like you. I finally got the chance today."

Alphonse's eyes could not have been wider.What does this mean?Charles just wants to be friends with Faraday?It's only been half a month, have you already called her by name? "Why?" He couldn't understand at all.Didn't they come to England this time to do something big?Faraday is a man who can't weave and can't mine. What is there to win over?

Ciel couldn't answer this question directly, because the reason was beyond comprehension, about how he could predict the general direction of future development.So he could only vaguely say: "You don't have to worry about it." He thought for a while and added: "I have to live in London for a while."

"Why is that? Don't tell me it's because you and Faraday are going out for a bike ride?" Alphonse couldn't help complaining.Because he saw Faraday's bicycle today, it was quite worn out, so he used it when he said it by the way.

But Ciel responded with a serious nod. "If you get the chance." Of course go!

Alphonse almost vomited blood. "...Have you fallen in love with him?" After much deliberation, he could only come to such a conclusion.With Ciel's appearance and family background, he had never seen Ciel so actively wanting to know someone!

"You really think too much!" Charles couldn't help rolling his eyes.He's looking at Faraday's mind, okay?If he can make it happen-advance the speed of Faraday's invention of the electric motor, and then get the patent right of the electric motor, he can open many factories-this is definitely more profitable than the textile industry!So, what can you do without dim sum?

"But..." Alphonse wanted to say something else.

"It's nothing." Charles interrupted him without hesitation. "That's it. If you are in a hurry, you can go back to Liverpool now and take those who are willing to leave back to Paris first. Because if there are many people who are willing to leave, there will be a few more boats."

Besides, Charles was about to get angry, and Alphonse silently shut his mouth.But in his heart, he believed in his deduction even more—thinking about the last time he went to Baden Hot Springs, he dragged Shire there with all his talk!Then, today, Charles personally told him that he would be happy to go cycling with Faraday...?

Maybe Shire is willing to accompany Faraday to exchange church experience!If you say you have no other ideas, who will believe it!

But isn't he more handsome than Faraday?If Charles liked a man, shouldn't he like him?

Given that Alphonse's focus is usually not in the normal position, it must be emphasized here that Alphonse is not really in love with Charles, his sourness is purely out of jealousy of his position as Charles' best friend is about to be lost .

Men's jealousy is also very terrible.So in the next few days, Alphonse went out with Charles every day, uncharacteristically.Then he realized that his assumptions were still too conservative—Charles simply seized all the time to gain Faraday's favor!Really not in love with him?impossible?

Fortunately, although Alphonse was made of brown sugar, he didn't dare to put on a haughty look because of Charles' gaze, and he didn't dare to speak out his conjecture publicly.

As for Faraday, he turned a blind eye to the existence of Alphonse: because he has not yet reached the point of hating the rich.But some things, he also noticed.

"Actually, you don't have to do that," Faraday finally reminded Charles tactfully one day, "there are so many people in the Royal Society, and I'm not even a bachelor." The subtext is far more capable than he is capable of.

"Not necessarily." Charles said something that no one but himself could understand.

Faraday looked at him and said again: "And I already have a patron."

"He's sponsoring chemistry." Of course Charles knew this, and said nonchalantly, "But I want you to do some other experiments."

Faraday finally showed a puzzled expression. "What is it?" The chemistry experiment apprenticeship he did, the sponsor didn't ask him to do chemistry, but to do something else?

Charles smiled slightly, took out a lot of silver coins from his pocket, and lined them up one by one.
