Chapter 205

Retro metal copper tube, the base is rotated by metal gears.

When the power is turned on, the current flows along the copper tube and the metal wire, flashing a burst of white light,

Following the wire, it also entered the core area.

In a huge glass cover, the glass container inside shone with an orange light after the electric current was connected.

The dazzling light immediately occupied the entire room, and the level of illumination made it hard to keep your eyes open.

"As you can see, as soon as I plugged it in, it immediately filled the room with its brilliance.

Its brightness is much higher than that of our electric lamps. If this thing can be placed in a mine, or even in some places where high light sources are required in stations, squares, and theaters, this kind of arc lamp is worth using.

But if you want to let it enter thousands of households, it is absolutely impossible. And its core technology is different from our products. "

Professor Fran spoke in a very positive tone.

Demonstrating how to use this thing in front of Tu Fu, there are indeed some similarities in terms of creativity.

It also converts electrical energy into light energy to achieve lighting effects.

But structurally they are not the same.

"What are the differences?"

"The way the arc lamp emits light is actually to use the arc generated by two close electrodes in the air to achieve the effect of luminous lighting.

But your electric light creates a vacuum in the glass bulb, and then uses electricity to stimulate the melting point of the tungsten filament to achieve the lighting effect.

The two can be said to be completely different, and there is no such thing as plagiarism. "

As expected of an inventor, in a very short period of time, Professor Fran figured out the difference between the Sim Industrial patent and the electric light.

These two things look similar at first glance, but they are not on the same technical level at all.

After understanding what the professor said, Tu Fu nodded thoughtfully.

This patent is definitely the crystallization of technology in the steam age, but because of its own arrival, it is far behind the times.

After the matching copper pipe and steel base and the complicated conductive pipe inside, this must make the manufacturing cost of each one skyrocket.

After staring at the oddly shaped arc for several minutes, he suddenly asked a question,

"Sir, what is its service life and cost?"

"Extremely expensive."

Professor Fran opened his mouth, "The individual manufacturing cost is not a small number, 6 or 7 pools, including labor costs, production line maintenance, and sales channels layer by layer, and the final product sold to customers is probably only cheaper than gas lamps.

What's more, the brightness of the arc lamp is too dazzling, and the scope of application is definitely not very large, only specific places need it. And more importantly, its service life is extremely short? "

"How short?" Tu Fu looked up curiously.

"You probably can't believe it. It's obviously been castrated. The wick of this material is easily damaged after a collision. Interestingly, even after a year, they still haven't replaced it. It's not difficult at all.

The current life of the arc lamp is probably less than 100 hours, or even lower.

Sim Industry has made a good plan. It is a one-time consumable product. After it is used and discarded, it can only buy new products at the same store. "

As a professional, it is not difficult to judge these things. From the degree of wear of the materials used in the arc lamp, and through some calculation methods, a little experimentation can draw conclusions.

but.

The castration of products is also one of the usual methods used by large companies.

In contrast, the service life of electric lamps is at least 500 hours or more.

This is why David specially reminded him after learning about this invention that once it is produced in the future, it is best not to spend energy on improving the life of the core filament.

An electric light that lasts for more than 1,000 hours is not as good as two electric lights that last for 500 hours. If the cost remains the same, the profit can be increased by at least 30%.

Such a profit gap is enough to make all businessmen take risks.

He suggested that it is best to castrate it, and it is a good choice to stabilize it for about 300 hours.

Compared with gas lamps or arc lamps, the price is comparable to that of the public.

The price of a light bulb is only one or two pools, and it can be replaced quickly even if its lifespan expires. Compared with the high cost of the current gas lamp, I don't know how much better it is.

In David's words, customers can experience cutting-edge technology at such a low price, and they will even thank you for your generosity.

This young son of a big capitalist has the potential to be hanged by people as a street lamp.

"So, this thing is just rubbish."

Tu Fu rubbed his nose to comment.

No wonder Sim Industries would rather pay such a high price than take his patents by force.

Co-authoring their own inventions is not universal, and after a year of invention, they have only sold some to mines and the like.

"Yes, no matter in terms of price, practicality, or core technology comparison, electric lamps and arc lamps are completely different things. As long as you submit these data to the court, you will definitely win this lawsuit."

Professor Fran showed a rare sinister expression on his face, "You can even get in touch with the people of Sim Industry first, and prove this to them, and for a long time in the past, many products of Sim Industry have used similar Castration.

This pile of things is enough to frighten them, not to mention dismissing the case, and even asking you to forgive me for a large sum of money. "

"It's too much, it must not be like this."

Tu Fu uncharacteristically rejected the proposal.

Then, under the astonished eyes of Professor Fran, he slowly said, "It can't be easy for them like this, and dare to bring people into the secret atmosphere to ask for an explanation aggressively.

If you still dare to tease the people with semi-finished products, then I will give them an explanation now.

Give the long-exploited people of Landis an explanation and see if they can forgive being duped like fools by the corporations of their own country.

I do it purely, for justice"

Seeing the boy's upright expression, Old Fran already had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say anything.

There is nothing more stupid than exhorting people to be magnanimous.

...

That afternoon, two days before the trial.

Through David's contacts, Tu Fu met several mysterious guests in a high-end restaurant in Göttinghagen.

The editor-in-chief of the "Central City News" and the reporter Modi have been trembling since they were invited into the restaurant by David, while Tu Fu sitting opposite him is silent.

In the face of the most terrifying young genius in history who dominates the academic field, people like them don't even have the courage to raise their heads.

A week ago, their newspaper had blackmailed him to the brim. Now that the other party has recovered and dealt with them, it is reasonable to want revenge.

This is the rule of this adult society, if you can't kill me, I will kill you when I recover.

"Mr. Cape, please forgive Ms. Modi for her previous misconduct. She has committed many mistakes in order to obtain better news benefits."

Immediately, the editor-in-chief of the "Central City News" immediately abdicated responsibility.

If it can relieve the other party's hatred, sacrificing a senior reporter is really a good deal.

And Modi, the female reporter who covered the whole process, bowed her head in remorse and waited for her release. She knew very well that what she committed would not be allowed.

"It's understandable to do some outrageous things to gain attention, but it's the same for everyone.

But since you guys didn't expose my sister's interview, it's better to let this matter be written off. "

Tu Fu's tone was relaxed, and he let the matter pass by.

It's not that they are really generous, the main reason is that they are not the masterminds, and it is only normal to do some things with professional ethics.

Not to mention resentment.

"Is what you said true?"

The reporter Mo Di was stunned, she never thought that Tu Fu would let her go.

If it were a son with a more tempered temper, it would be considered cheap for her to be laid off immediately.

"With my testimony here, Mr. Capet will never go back on his word."

David Smith, who was also sitting at the dinner table, also had a smile on his face, "But since you have been following this matter for so long, it must be a pity that it ended halfway.

I have something more interesting here, why don't you two take a look. "

He immediately handed over a piece of information, which was very interesting.

The editor-in-chief of "Central City News" and reporter Modi's eyes lit up as soon as it was submitted.

This is the financial statement of Sim Industry over the years, and there is an obvious data in it. Every year, a large amount of money is transferred to an account in Göttinghagen.

The account holder was none other than Friedrich Wilhelm Hohenzollern.

Prince William.

When they saw the man's name, they were surprised in vain.

This evidence is enough to show that Landis's company had privately invested in a Prince of Baia.

God,

Once this matter is confirmed, it will definitely be much more eye-catching than Tu Fu's plagiarism case.

It is by no means a trivial matter to be suspected of a prince who is related to both of the two great powers.

Tu Fu, who raised his legs, saw that they had almost seen them, and took a sip of his coffee, "How are you two thinking, I need you to spread the news after the first court session of Sim Industry.

Of course, you can also choose not to report.

But you are the first newspaper I contacted. If you don’t want to do it, I will contact other newspapers. I think some people are willing to do news of this level. "

How could this kind of exclusive news be left to others.

After he finished speaking, the editor-in-chief of "Central City News" immediately agreed,

He almost responded with a growling voice, "Mr. Cape, we will exclusively report this matter, please be sure not to disclose the news to other newspapers, for which we are willing to pay a reward."

"No need, we are all friends, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it is a gift for you. The accuracy of this news is absolutely true. You can check the information of these accounts as much as you want."

Tu Fu smiled even more, he found out from the monitoring of the ghost ship,

Then wearing an invisibility cloak to pick up something in person, how could it be fake.

Thanks to Dade before the other party left, they didn't even order food, saving another cup of money.

Tu Fu turned to look at his companion, "David, which one is this?"

"7th in Göttinghagen, 12th in Baia."

David said in an affirmative tone, "This is half of the media, and there are foreign reporters stationed in Göttinghagen. The risk of calling them is too high, and it is not good to make a mess."

"Call them together, and make this matter as big as possible."

Tu Fu spread his hands, unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"This is no longer in the category of revenge. Using the media to incite public opinion to deal with him is almost the same as his method.

If you don't handle it well, it may cause disputes between the two countries. The prince will definitely want to kill you when he finds out. Is it really worth it? "Young master David rubbed his chin.

But Tu Fu didn't speak.

Of course, this is beyond ordinary revenge, and it is certainly worth it.

He has no intention of stopping, let alone giving Prince William a chance to fight back.

Don't you Prince William like to incite the media and incite public opinion to destroy me?

Then now I will return it in the same way, a hundred times, a thousand times more fierce way.

There is only one thing he has to do.

Completely pull down that proud Prince His Highness from the throne.

fight back,

from now on.
