The 105th act, the founder of technology
The colder weather makes the students at Yale Academy look less.
However, this is just a manifestation. Although there are many fewer people outdoors from the naked eye, they are all in warm indoor activities.
In addition to the original music and drama, there is a relatively tenacious vitality, other entertainment has been squeezed out by Monopoly.
Although they have been playing Monopoly for two months, they have endless fun fighting with others. Under the seemingly simple rules of Monopoly, there are so many techniques worthy of fun.
As their understanding of the game deepens, they are becoming more and more impressed by Doug, the maker of this game.
There is no other reason.
The reason why they admire is that their group of heads, who are already considered top in this era, have studied a game for so long, but have not found any loopholes in this game.
The rules that seem not strict in "Monopoly" form an extremely deep and loophole-free game world, allowing Yale students who lack entertainment in this era and do not have to worry about their livelihood to play carefreely.
Yale's campus is very large. In a remote corner of the campus, next to Tom's cottage, there is a simple workshop built of wooden boards, but it is far from being so leisurely, but it is very busy.
Doug arrived outside the building and before he could get close enough, he saw that the ground had been dyed black and purple.
Walking into the workshop, huge pottery water tanks filled every corner of the room.
Coal tar, strong acid, dye.
From raw materials to products, they are all in this small workshop.
Of course, there is also an essential drying procedure. There are ten huge iron pans, which are spread out at one time. The ones burned are coal tar underneath, and the ones baked on top are the products of coal tar.
In front of each iron pot, there was a worker standing, holding a shovel, constantly turning the dye in the pot.
Although the temperature nearby was very hot, they were not naked.
Because, although the overall temperature in the workshop is not very low because these large pots are not very low, the recommended wooden factory is not well sealed.
The warm air in the factory produces convection with the cold air outside the factory, causing a lot of wind in the room.
Doug looked around but couldn't see Tom.
He had no choice but to stand in the cold wind and knock on the window of Tom's cottage.
"Hey! Doug! Why are you here?" Tom pushed open the window with a happy expression on his face.
Doug picked up the canvas pocket in his left hand and said, "I brought you some bread. Are you so happy? Have you achieved some results in your research?"
"Well... it's a little bit..." Tom frowned slightly when he heard Doug's question, but he became happy in an instant.
Tom's first driving force for developing azo dyes was not money, but pure interest. His love for explosion called him and called him to make more explosive explosives.
Nowadays, several azo dyes have successfully transitioned from the laboratory preparation stage to the mass industrial production stage. Tom finally has time to trigger the azo dye and try new explosives.
However, chemical experiments, even with the guidance of scientific theories, are still a matter of luck.
The difference between having the guidance of a modern chemical knowledge system and not having a scientific system is simply the difference between finding Doug in New Haven and finding Doug on the surface of the earth.
Even if you look for Doug in New Haven, if you really find Doug with a plausible portrait, you will eventually have to modify the portrait.
The most powerful thing about science is this worldview and methodology, which has the potential for continuous development.
Before the scientific worldview and methodology were formed, the mainstream worldview of the Western world was controlled by religion.
No believers in any religious system can reach their level.
And in the East, perhaps in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a trace of science.
However, from Confucianism becoming the mainstream doctrine to many people who carry Confucianism against Confucianism, Confucianism has been transformed into Confucianism.
The East has also fallen into a trap of being better in the past than the present.
The reason why the West began to develop rapidly in modern times is that they were the first to break out of the logical circle of viciousness that was better in the past than in the present, and that gods were stronger than ordinary people.
Although Tom has been failing these days, he knows that every failure of his life has brought him one step closer to success.
Even continuous failure is the norm of scientific research.
For example, when I tried to prepare azo dye with Doug that day, it was successful in one go, which was actually very unscientific.
And in the midst of constant failure, if you want to persevere, you need optimism.
So, Tom is optimistic.
"Is it my favorite cheese bread?" Tom opened the bag and said happily when he saw a thick layer of cheese covered in the bag.
"I think you need to replenish some energy!" Doug said. After he finished speaking, he took out a few more documents and handed them to Tom from the window. "This is the document that needs to be signed for a company. Tom, you have to sign your name on pages eight, thirteen, and twenty-six of each document.
As long as you sign up, our Tom and Doug Chemical Company will be successfully established.
This way you can have a steady stream of money to study your explosives!”
"I'll sign it now." Tom had cheese bread in his mouth, tilted his head to sign his name on each document.
These three contracts were drafted by McGill. According to the terms of the contract, as long as Tom and Doug Chemicals can make a profit, Tom will get a pretty good share.
Doug did not deliberately make trouble on the contract just because Tom didn't care about the company. There was no need for that.
If Tom suddenly starts to care about the company one day in the future, and someone who is interested in inciting him will leave?
Talent, what Doug needs is talent!
Tom is obviously a talent!
Only by giving talents excellent treatment can we attract more talents.
Moreover, a guy like Tom who is either studying explosions or preparing to study explosions. No matter how much dividends he gets, what will he do?
It's just a little bit used for life and experimentation, and the rest are just numbers on the books.
It exists in the company's account, and Doug can use funds at will.
Of course, the high proportion of dividends also means that Tom gave up some power.
Including but not limited to the decision-making power, personnel rights, financial rights, etc. of the company.
