Chapter 623 The tangled Mellon
After listening to Paul’s explanation, Rodney XVIII still said doubtfully: “Whether it is an invention or a discovery, it seems to be a very important thing.”
< br>"Yes, Your Majesty." Paul explained his point of view to him: "Discoveries, or theories, cannot be applied to the practice of production activities, and cannot directly affect the world and change our lives. They already exist there, We cannot monopolize something that we cannot control whether it exists or not. Or on the noble side, they should be the common wealth of all humans and even all intelligent races."
"What we really want to protect. These are technologies invented on the basis of these theories. They can truly change the world, affect people's lives, and create huge material wealth. Those theoretical discoveries that serve as public wealth are left to scholars to study. and discuss.”
Rodney XVIII kept nodding, and Catherine next to Paul was also listening carefully.
"Paul!" Irene shouted happily, "When that academic seminar is held, I must go to the Northwest Bay to participate."
Rodney XVIII said: "Okay, Tomorrow I will issue an announcement in the name of the king to all of Aldo..."
"Your Majesty!" Paul interrupted, "If possible, I hope it will not be limited to Aldo"< br>
“Oh, merciful Heavenly Father! You are so greedy. When will your meeting be held?”
“It is expected to be six months later!”
Rodney XVIII smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you. I hope those who see the announcement can move faster."
Irene's eyes sparkled, "Yeah, from It’s exciting to think about the scene where scholars from all over the world gather together to communicate.”
“I’m also very interested!” August Rodney, who doesn’t talk much, also said. chime in. "Maybe you can see a lot of mechanical enthusiasts there. Ah... maybe machinery should be classified as an invention."
He smiled with an honest look.
"Let's go together then! Ah, I still miss the Northwest Bay. There is a house I bought in the town in the center of the lake!" Eileen enthusiastically extended an invitation to her cousin, "Paul, I'm looking forward to it even more. I hope I can see acquaintances from Maester Gabela's Tower."
Paul looked at her and smiled, "I hope you can achieve this wish."
"By the way, Paul!" The expression on Irene's face suddenly became very exciting, her eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
“Uh-huh!” As the eldest sister, Catherine reminded him to pay attention to his manners.
"What's the matter! We are all our own people here!"
Irene's words made Catherine blush.
Eileen continued to say with bright eyes: "Why not build the telegraph base station here? In this way, the communication between Huxin Town and Jingyao does not have to take half a month! One day? How many hours? Or just In a few dozen minutes? We will be able to receive each other’s messages!”
“What a great idea!” The table in front of them surprised the brothers and sisters. This brother has always been a very stable person.
“I actually forgot about this!”
He seemed to be complaining about himself, frowning slightly.
"It's all my fault that I've been too busy recently."
Rodney XVIII looked at Paul: "Telegrams are a good thing. My dear brother-in-law, you must help me get something done in the king's territory. !”
He had learned about this thing when he was discussing cooperation with Paul in the Northwest Bay. He was deeply attracted by the fast communication method and immediately realized the huge role it could play. Especially in strengthening the connection between power centers and local governments.
"Humph! I designed the telegraph code in the Northwest Bay!"
Irene looked like she was asking for credit.
"Telegram?" Catherine made a confused voice.
She seemed to have heard her sister talk about it, but she had forgotten it.
"I'll explain! I'll explain!"
Irene raised her hand.
The little princess quickly explained the working principle of the optical signal telegraph to her sister in clean and clear language. Catherine opened her eyes wide, is it so amazing?
Ah, at that time I only thought that Irene was showing off a child's toy and didn't take it seriously.
It was Rodney XVIII's reaction that made Catherine pay attention again.
She felt very regretful. She should have done something different when her father was still alive.
Irene’s explanation also made Yuriko and August interested.
"If Your Majesty is interested in this, I can help! Just..."
"And I will pay you, this is a business transaction."
Rodney Eighteen Paul was reassured by Shi's words. The cost of establishing an optical telegraph system was not small.
Irene reminded Rodney XVIII: "If Jingyao and Arda are connected, we need to pass through a lot of territory."
The king said: "I think the lords will be happy to accept it. into our communication system”
...
"What? His Majesty the King wants me to stay?"
Myron Gardner was shocked when he heard the news that Paul brought back from the palace.
"Yes, His Majesty would like to place you on the management committee responsible for the special economic zone."
"I...I..."
Myron hesitated, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified."
"The key is... do you want to stay?"
Paul looked into Myron's eyes and asked solemnly.
"This... what do you think, Paul? What should I do?"
"Haha, I heard it, you want to stay and make a career."
>
Paul said with a smile.
From Mellon's tone and eyes, Paul could tell that Mellon was very excited about the king's appreciation of him.
This is also inevitable. As an alliance brother of about the same age as himself, Myron has always been under the shadow of Paul's light in the northwest bay.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Paul is a time traveler, and the various knowledge in his mind allows him to play the role of a "prophet" in a sense.
It’s not that Myron has any dissatisfaction or complaints about Paul’s brilliance, but he would also be very happy if he was given a chance to independently prove his worth.
After all, after being with Paul for so many years, Myron also knew a lot of things under the influence of his ears and eyes.
"In that case." Paul patted him on the shoulder, "Tomorrow you will go to the palace with me to reply to the king. I think Rodney XVIII will jump with joy."< br>
Myron glanced at Paul gratefully, "I think I should think about it for a while."
"Okay, Myron. No matter what, I will respect your decision. In fact, If you stay, it will greatly strengthen our relationship with the royal family."
"Thank you, Paul. Don't worry, if I decide to stay, I won't reveal a word about any matters that need to be kept confidential. ”
"I trust you, Myron."
Paul smiled and hugged him.
