Chapter 619 Tangled Melon

After listening to Paul's explanation, Rodney XVIII still said doubtfully: "Whether it is an invention or a discovery, it seems to be very important."

"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, and we cannot A monopoly over a thing that we have no control over whether we have it or not. Or in a nobler sense, they should be the common property of all human beings, and even all intelligent races."

"What we really want to protect are the technologies invented on the basis of these theories. They can really change the world, affect people's lives, and create huge material wealth. And those theoretical discoveries that are public wealth are the Leave it to scholars to study and discuss."

Rodney XVIII kept nodding, and Catherine beside Paul was also listening attentively.

"Paul!" Irene shouted happily, "When that academic seminar is held, I must go to Northwest Bay to participate."

Rodney XVIII said: "Well, tomorrow I will issue an announcement to the whole of Aldo in the name of the king..."

"Your Majesty!" Paul interrupted him, "If possible, I hope it's not limited to Aldo."

"Oh, good Father! You are greedy. When is your meeting?"

"Estimated to be half a year later!"

Rodney XVIII smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you. I hope those who see the announcement can travel faster."

Irene's eyes were shining brightly, "Yeah, scholars from all over the world are talking together in one place. It's exciting to think about this scene."

"I'm interested too!" August Rodney, who didn't talk much, also interjected. "Maybe you can see a lot of mechanical enthusiasts there. Ah... Maybe machinery should be classified as an invention."

He smiled honestly.

"Let's go together at that time! Ah, I still miss the Northwest Bay, and there is a house I bought in Huxin Town!" Irene warmly sent an invitation to her cousin, "Paul, I look forward to it even more Now, hopefully I'll see some of my 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, with her eyebrows raised and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"Hmm!" Catherine, the eldest sister, reminded him to pay attention to his manners.

"What's the matter! Here are all our own people!"

Irene's words made Catherine blush.

Irene continued to say with bright eyes: "Why don't you fix the telegraph base station here? In this way, the communication between Huxin Town and Jingyao won't take half a month! One day? How many hours? Or just use Dozens of minutes? We'll be able to receive each other's messages!"

"good idea!"

With a bang, Rodney XVIII slapped the table in front of him heavily, which surprised his brothers and sisters. This elder brother has always been a very stable person.

"I actually forgot about this one!"

He seemed to be complaining to himself, frowning slightly.

"It's all because I've been too busy these days."

Rodney XVIII looked at Paul: "The telegram is a good thing, my dear brother-in-law, you must help me set up a set in the king's land!"

When he was talking about cooperation with Paul in the Northwest Gulf, he knew about this stuff. At that time, he was deeply attracted by the fast communication method, and immediately realized the huge role it could play, especially in strengthening the power center and local Contact this aspect.

"Hmph! I designed the telegraph code in the Northwest Gulf!"

Erin had a look of asking for credit.

"Telegram?" Catherine made a puzzled voice.

She seemed to have heard her sister talk about it, but she forgot.

"Let me explain! I will explain!"

Erin raised her hand.

The little princess quickly explained the working principle of the optical signal telegraph to her sister in clean and neat language.

Catherine's eyes widened, so magical?

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 brought Catherine back to attention.

She regretted it very much, she should have done something when her father was alive.

Eileen's explanation made Yuriko and August also interested.

"If His Majesty is interested in this, I can help! It's just..."

"And I'll pay you, it's a business."

The words of Rodney XVIII reassured Paul that the cost of building an optical telegraph system was not small.

Irene reminded Rodney XVIII: "If you connect Jingyao and Arda, you need to go through many territories."

"I think the lords will be happy to plug into our communications system," said the king.

…

"What? His Majesty the King wants me to stay?"

Hearing the news that Paul brought back from the palace, Myron Gardner was shocked.

"Yes, His Majesty wants to put you on the management committee in charge of the special economic zone."

"me…"

Macron hesitated, "I'm afraid I can't do it."

"The point is... do you want to stay?"

Paul stared into Mellon's eyes, UU Reading asked solemnly.

"What... do you think, Paul? What should I do?"

"Hehe, I can tell that you want to stay and make a career."

Paul said with a smile.

From Myron's tone and eyes, Paul could tell that Myron was very excited about the king's appreciation for him.

This is also unavoidable. As an ally who is about the same age as himself, Macron has been under the shadow of Paul's light in the Northwest Gulf.

This is also impossible, after all, as a time traveler, Paul played the role of "prophet" in a sense with all kinds of knowledge in his mind.

Regarding Paul's radiance, it's not that McLone has any dissatisfaction or complaints, but if he is given a chance to independently prove his worth, he is also very happy.

After all, after being by Paul's side for so many years, Mellon 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 can go to the palace with me to answer the king. I think Rodney XVIII will definitely jump for joy."

McLone 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 say a word about anything that needs to be kept secret!"

"I trust you, Myron."

Paul smiled and hugged him. Previous chapter table of contents bookmark back page
