Fox of France

In the end, Lucien rejected the matter of formulating this plan. It's not because he's the busiest among the brothers, working twenty-four hours a day. But Joseph really can't believe his scientific literacy.

In the end, this matter was handed over to Joseph to take charge. Of course, the specific person in charge was actually Monge. His scientific research results back then had been kept secret for a long time, and he was very experienced in this area.

After about a month of research and demonstration, some scientific papers related to electricity began to be published in the "Nature" magazine of the French Academy of Sciences.

With the publication of these papers, two other things are advancing rapidly.

The first thing is the patent application and approval. Patent-related technologies must be disclosed to the public, so when the relevant knowledge is still kept secret, some technologies are naturally not applied for patents. But at this time, since the relevant scientific knowledge has been disclosed, the corresponding technology will naturally have to apply for a patent, such as the propeller.

In fact, although the British are already testing propellers, and the propellers look very simple, propellers are completely different from propellers. With different structural forms and different speeds, the efficiency of propellers is quite different. In addition, the requirements for manufacturing precision of propellers are actually quite high. Therefore, if the British propellers are actually used for commercial use, at least for now, they are not competitive at all. And if the competitiveness is not enough, it will naturally not get orders, and if it cannot get orders, naturally there will be no more money that can be invested in scientific research. As a result, the gap in performance will be continuously widened. At most, their navy will use it.

Considering that on the European continent, France, the Netherlands, the Rhine Union, and Prussia have all signed an agreement with France on mutual recognition of patent rights, since the patent for the propeller has been successfully applied for in France, it means that the British built Every ship using propellers in China must pay a patent fee to the French if they want to enter the ports of these countries. The final result will be that the British can't get back the money they invested in the propellers, and they can only rely on the country to support them.

The second thing that is advancing rapidly is that France has begun to put a series of products including electric motors on the market. Many new power stations are being built in other parts of Europe.

Naturally, these power stations are the business of the military-industrial complex, which not only earns more money for the military-industrial complex, but also crowds out most of the other power sources in the region. In this way, almost all industries in this area will depend on these power plants in the future, and the military-industrial complexes that control these power plants will have a huge influence on the economy of these areas.

In addition, a few months ago, in the Sudeten region of Prussia, new open-pit copper mines began to produce a large amount of copper. This is the best copper mine in Europe, with shallow burial and high grade. Its large-scale mining, combined with the newly built copper smelter next to it, has almost increased the copper production in Europe by a quarter. And there is room for further growth.

The development of this copper mine caused the already frighteningly high copper price in Europe to begin to fall. This also makes electricity more competitive.

On the other hand, the development of this copper mine gave Prussia a big breath. Originally, Prussia was financially overwhelmed because of the war reparations issue, but now the commissioning of this large copper mine quickly brought a lot of income to Prussia. This also created another problem for Prussia, which was that the Prussian economy began to depend more and more on mining.

Another effect of this move by the French is that the number of international students studying in France from various countries has begun to increase in large numbers. Although the French government does not give many places in terms of electricity that they most want to learn and understand. However, a series of public scientific research achievements in electric power has further strengthened people's impression that "France's scientific level is the first in Europe". Therefore, the number of students who come to learn other technologies has also increased significantly.

This is also a situation that Joseph is very happy to see. Some people once raised objections to this, thinking that too many foreign students who have learned these sciences and technologies will lead to the loss of France's advantages over other countries in terms of scientific level. But this lack of ambition was immediately criticized by Joseph.

Joseph pointed out that for every foreign student who comes to France to study, his tuition fee is enough to allow more than 20 children to receive compulsory education, or allow two to three French youths to receive higher education with scholarships. In this way, it must be France that is compatible. Moreover, many outstanding international students who have achieved academic success will also stay in France. In this way they also became part of the power of France.

"The more students come from backward areas, the more so. Because many things they have learned, there is not much use for them in their own country. Unless they are extremely patriotic and willing to endure all kinds of pain heroes , otherwise, most of them would have stayed in France.

This is especially true for those foreign students studying law, art, and literature. After they return to their country, they will only find that their country is incompatible with the France they are used to. Moreover, we can completely educate them to make them agree with us ideologically and our European Union thought of. ’ said Joseph.

Joseph said this because he had seen it with his own eyes in another time and space in his previous life. Sister, you see, using similar methods, the entire third world was used as a talent fish pond, and almost all of their best students were fished out. So as to establish its own huge scientific and technological advantages. During those years, almost more than half of the best students in the two best schools in a large eastern country ended up working in various universities and research institutes that you saw. Silicon Valley is filled with international students from another "largest democratic country".

On the other hand, Amei, you see, also continued these things, letting his standards, his views of right and wrong, become the world's view of right and wrong, becoming the so-called "universal values", and gained a large number of enthusiastic fans. supporter.

If there are no high-quality fish fry salvaged from these fish ponds, it will be very difficult for Amei to maintain its scientific and technological advantages. Especially after it embarked on the evil path of playing with finance and de-industrialization.

Andrei Oblonsky is an international student from Russia. In France, there are not a few Russian students studying abroad, and all French universities actually like these Russian students very much. Of course, this is not because the French and Russians are more friendly, but because Russian students are generally richer. Because almost all Russian students studying abroad are nobles.

This also makes Russian students studying abroad have another characteristic, that is, most of them will learn various arts. Because compared to complicated science and complicated law, art is really suitable for noble students.

Generally speaking, those who study art always have a lot of free time, so every weekend, in places like the Moulin Rouge, you can always see a lot of Russian students studying abroad speaking French with an accent.

But Andre is different from them. Andre is here to learn electricity.

In January, in St. Petersburg, Andrey saw the latest issue of "Nature" magazine at the teacher Mr. Serpukhovskoy. At that time, Andre, who wanted to go to England to learn steam engine technology, was fascinated by the new gadget of electricity. So he made up his mind to come to France to study electricity.

Andre's family is a descendant of the Ryulik royal family, and half of the nobles in Petersburg, even the Tsar, are actually relatives of their family. But to study electricity in France, his background is basically useless. Because there are not many full-time teachers for this subject, most of the teachers are actually engineers in the military-industrial complex. In addition, a large number of study places are occupied by the French, so it is very difficult for foreigners to obtain the qualifications to study this course. They must beat more than 90% of their competitors in the exam.

However, Andre still won the exam with his own real strength, so he became an international student of the "Electrical Engineering" department of the University of Paris.

The teacher who taught him is said to be a student of a certain science expert. He is always in a hurry. Whenever he finishes class, he immediately picks up the lecture notes and leaves, leaving everyone with a lot of homework. These assignments often keep people busy until midnight. According to the seniors, this is their teacher giving back to the society. Because it is said that the big cow also likes to assign a lot of difficult homework to the students.

However, this also made Andre's life extremely fulfilling, and he himself clearly felt the rise of his academic level.

Of course, this fulfilling life also made him the laughing stock of many students who also came from Russia.

"Andre, you have been in Paris for a while, tomorrow is Sunday again, you won't be given a lot of homework by the teacher, and you can't even leave the door, right?" Andre's friend Anatole said to he laughed.

"Not this time. In fact, the teacher did not give us homework this time. It is said that Mr. Thenardier, the teaching assistant, was ill. You know, the homework given by the teacher was marked by Mr. Thenardier on his behalf. It is said that Because there is no one to mark the homework, and the teacher is unwilling to let our homework be backlogged, this time we simply did not assign homework."

"Ah, he is so stupid, he can give you a standard answer." Anatole said, "By the way, it means you have time tomorrow? Ah, I think, you came to Paris It’s been so long, maybe you haven’t even been to the Moulin Rouge?”
