Chapter 73 The King of Invention? The King of Plagiarism!
Tesla and Ye Zhen mentioned two examples not long ago after a serious illness.
They are almost identical and have acquired unusual abilities.
It's just that the capabilities Tesla gained go a little deeper.
"This problem has troubled Tesla for several years."
"In daily life, I see some visions from time to time."
"Suddenly one day he could hear the ticking of the clock in the next room."
"Can detect a fly landing on the table."
"He felt a crawling feeling in front of his forehead, a huge terror."
"The unspeakable thing was approaching, and the moon in the sky frightened him."
"Suddenly, a bright light flashed through his brain."
"Countless ideas and pictures emerged in his mind, and their authenticity was proved in an instant."
"For Tesla, it was an extreme pleasure, and all kinds of ideas and inspirations were like a rushing river."
"Tesla's mind couldn't even keep up with the fantastic ideas."
"Gradually Tesla can control this ability."
"He can imagine everything in his mind."
"It's like having a laboratory inside his brain."
"For Tesla, this is undoubtedly extremely convenient."
"All inventions and creations were formed in Tesla's mind in advance."
"No need for drawings, models or experiments, it is generated directly in the mind."
"This is so similar to Ramanujan, except that the formula appears in the mind."
"One is to complete experiments and create inventions in your mind."
Tesla's ability is simply like cheating.
No one can compare with him.
According to Tesla's own words.
When someone designs an imaginary device, the only problem that exists is how to put his original idea into practice.
He felt that this method was a bit vulgar.
His approach is completely different.
He was never in a hurry for experimental verification.
When an idea comes to him, he immediately starts crafting it in his head.
He could tinker with the design at will in his mind, improve it, start the device and make it work.
To him, testing it in the lab or in the brain was the same.
He can even take into account aspects that prevent the normal operation of the invented device
In this way he can perfectly implement his ideas without having to use his hands, only having to physically examine the product in his mind at the end.
Throughout his life, this method of invention and creation has always been implemented throughout his life.
In his later years, Tesla was also believed to have mental problems.
He often sees hallucinations and says that the FBI is monitoring his life.
"It can be said that Tesla is a unique inventor in human history."
"But there was a man at the same time who was also known as the King of Invention."
"He is also a person we like very much in our textbooks, and an inventor we like to mention very much when writing essays."
"There is a very classic saying, genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration."
“For this reason teachers and parents often use this man’s words to teach us.”
Some viewers already know who Ye Zhen is talking about.
They were very familiar with this person.
He has been used as a role model since childhood.
Every time I write a quote from a famous person, he must be there.
"Yes, everyone must have thought that this person is Edison."
"But is what is written in our textbooks true?"
"Is this really the case?" Ye Zhen's face was full of doubts.
Authority is meant to be questioned, which does not mean that what the official says must be true. This was the case with the previous "Peach Blossom Spring".
"Actually, Edison is not a king of inventions. At best, he is just a king of inventions."
"His true identity is a capitalist, a real capitalist."
"Most of the more than 1,300 inventions and creations he made in his life were bought from the laboratory."
"The two stories that everyone is most familiar with are "Edison Saves Mom" and the story of his invention of the electric light in Chinese textbooks."
"What if I told you that both stories are false?"
Everyone became uneasy after hearing this.
"Isn't Edison the greatest inventor?"
“It’s impossible to write fake things in Chinese textbooks.”
"This is a textbook for teaching the future flowers of our motherland. How can it be fake?"
"Isn't it Edison who invented the electric light? It's written like this in history books."
In everyone's eyes, Edison has always been synonymous with intelligence, kindness and wisdom.
Always a positive representative.
"Success is ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent inspiration."
"Actually, there is another sentence at the end, but it has been ignored by everyone."
"Many times, this one percent of inspiration is more important than ninety-nine percent of sweat."
"These are Edison's original words."
"The light bulb was invented by Edison, and this concept has been ingrained in everyone's minds."
"A stereotype has been formed. As long as Edison is said to have invented the light bulb, Edison will immediately come to mind."
"If I say that a few years before Edison, there were engineers who invented the light bulb."
"Edison just stole other patents and started improving them himself."
"Swan and Henry took Edison to court over this."
"However, behind Edison was the wealthy Morgan consortium. After the protracted lawsuit, Swann and Henry soon became unable to withstand it."
"Swann had to sell the patent to Edison, and Henry died before the lawsuit was over."
"Edison didn't spend a penny and defrauded the patent directly from his widow."
"In this way, Edison became the inventor of the incandescent light bulb. With the incandescent light bulb, Edison and his company made a lot of money."
After hearing this, any normal person can't help it.
"Is this Edison so shameless?"
"What a beast. Isn't this just a profit-seeking businessman?"
"He is still written so perfectly in our textbooks?"
"No, is Edison actually such a person?"
"Isn't there a story about him saving his mother in Chinese textbooks? I don't believe Edison is such a person!"
The education we have received since childhood is to praise Edison as an inventor.
It was he who invented the light bulb.
Now Ye Zhen actually said that Edison was a person who fished for fame and was a king of inventions.
And even his most famous light bulb was stolen back by any means necessary.
How can this make everyone who has received nine years of compulsory education collapse?
Many times, things are not what we think.
The truth is often not what everyone sees.
Many times what you see and what you know is just what the official wants you to know.
"Everyone must be thinking that "Edison Saves Mom" in the Chinese textbook can't be fake."
"Doesn't this show that Edison was smart and filial since he was a child?"
"Hahaha." Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh, "This is completely false, there is no such thing at all."
