Chapter 342: Lavoisier

Nathan Rothschild quickly found out that there was no Bonaparte in the fifth car. But he didn't feel that his money was spent in vain, because he knew that these people were closely related to the Bonaparte family. Although they are not surnamed Bonaparte, they are the core and most important part of the giant Bonaparte family.
Most of these people are, or will be, big cows in some respect, and the protagonists of the era, who can get to know and build relationships with these people, it is definitely worth the fare he paid. However, after briefly talking with them, Nathan Rothschild discovered that it seemed not particularly easy to get in touch with these people. Because, even when those guys were resting, he couldn't understand what they said in their mouths.
But fortunately, he soon discovered a person who was also very interested in economics, and this person had the highest status in this carriage. This person is Lavoisier, Honorary Dean of the French Academy of Sciences.
Mr. Lavoisier is fifty-nine years old this year, and he is considered an advanced age in this era. As a scientist, Lavoisier has reached the age to retire.
Thanks to many legends and stories, as well as the influence of many habits in the old age, many people have an unrealistic fantasy of old scientists. Just like in a novel that Joseph read in his last life, there is this saying:
"Sanlu University President Gao Songnian is an old scientist.
The position of this "old" word is very difficult. It can describe science as well as scientists.
Unfortunately, scientists are not the same as science; scientists are like wine, the older they are, the more valuable they are, while science is like women, and they are worthless when they are old. In the future, the national language grammar will be fully developed, and one day it will be possible to clearly separate "old scientist" from "old scientific family", or "scientific home" and "old scientist". It's still early, so I might as well call it in general terms. "
However, Mr. Qian, who wrote the novel, actually doesn't know much about the profession of scientists. Natural science is different from literature and history. There is no such thing as a "scientist is like wine, the older the more valuable". It is science, as long as it is not overturned by falsification, whether it is old or new, it is valuable. For example, the laws of thermodynamics, which have been hundreds of years, are still awesome. It's a scientist, it's really like a woman, it's worthless when he gets old.
In the study of literature and history, the accumulation of experience and knowledge is more important, so scholars of literature and history are indeed a bit like wine. But this is not the case with natural science, because scientific research really requires too much data processing capabilities of the brain. It requires long-term high-load operation of the brain. With the increase of age, the decline of various functions of the human body is inevitable. Therefore, although the experience and insights brought about by age are also important, they are not enough to make up for the harm caused by the decline of physiological functions. Therefore, most natural scientists have made their most important achievements when they are young and vigorous. When they are old, they can basically be regarded as some kind of statues.
Mr. Lavoisier now clearly feels the decline of his energy and thinking ability. His hands tremble a little, and he can't do experiments by himself in the laboratory. After getting the experimental data, it is often not possible to keep up with the ideas of the assistants when performing analysis. This made Mr. Lavoisier couldn't help but lament that he really should retire.
However, after high-intensity use, the brain's ability to process data is reduced, and some inexplicable errors are often made, just like the graphics card used for mining. But Mr. Lavoisier is still reluctant to just be a symbol.
Mr. Lavoisier has always had two hobbies, one is science and the other is money.
Nowadays, science has obviously disliked him for being old and declining. After his body was hollowed out, he was no longer willing to show him a good face; therefore, he also had to shift more attention to another. A hobby goes up. Lavoisier felt that his current data processing capabilities for running natural science apps seemed not enough, but running a business program should still be enough.
Of course, Lavoisier's judgment is not bad considering only data processing capabilities. However, what he didn't consider was that there was too little data on how to do business in his database.
But the common hobby still makes Lavoisier and Nathan Rothschild easy to talk about. And Rothschild also discovered that although Lavoisier is not really proficient in how to do business, he can sometimes come up with one or two incisive words that point to the core, and even Rothschild also produces It feels like a rush. After a little conversation, Rothschild discovered that these kinds of words basically came from Joseph Bonaparte.
"Joseph Bonaparte is just a scientific monster. He is a omnidirectional monster." Nathan Rothschild couldn't help thinking.
Being in a relationship with Lavoisilla made Nathan Rothschild very satisfied. He felt that the money he had spent was really worth it. He knew that Mr. Lavoisier had a close relationship with the Bonaparte family, and that Joseph Bonaparte's wife was Lavoisier's niece. Through him, he should have the opportunity to get in touch with the real helm of this big family.
At this time, most of the passengers had already boarded the train. The train rang the whistle and made a long "whoop" sound, and then it vibrated slightly, and then looked out through the glass window, you can see Everything outside began to slowly retreat.
"Ah, the train is leaving. Well, after all, the passenger car is more comfortable ~ EbookFREE.me~ is much better than the freight train." Lavoisier said.
"Mr. Lavoisier, have you ever been on a freight train?" Nathan Rothschild asked.
"I've been in Lorraine Steel. I was curious to sit on a flatbed with a group of workers, and I caught a cold by the wind. Well, the freight train is more bumpy than this, but if you don't consider the wind problem, even the flatbed. It’s more comfortable than a carriage."
The two people talked, and the speed of the train began to get faster and faster.
"Mr. Lavoisier, do you know how fast this train can run?" Nathan Rothschild asked.
"Ah, you can ask the right person." Lavoisier replied proudly, "The maximum speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour. But considering coal consumption, this is not the most economical speed, the most economical speed. It's a little different because of the mount, but it's usually about 50 kilometers."
"So fast?" Nathan Rothschild calculated slightly in his heart, and then said, "Mr. Lavoisier, don't you think the railway will be a very lucrative business?"
