"The proliferation of some things is actually inevitable." Joseph added, "such as the last mine incident. Our mines use electric fuzes, so what fuses do the British mines use?"

"I haven't got the corresponding information yet." Lucien said. Then he added: "I don't think this problem is important. Knowing this is not helpful to us, it's not worth the effort, um, Joseph, do we need this thing?"

"No need." Joseph said, "I am not asking you information about this thing, but looking at your knowledge of physics."

"Huh?" Lucien was taken aback, and then hurriedly said, "Joseph, I am very busy at work now. Such things, um, should be listened to by experts."

"Nonsense! Are you busier than me? I can..." Napoleon quickly inserted.

"Napoleon, don't pretend to be there, don't think that I don't know who the real first author of the paper you recently published is! You are ashamed to put your name before Laplace." Lucien Immediately sneered.

"You? You don't even understand that paper! In this paper, Mr. Laplace did provide some help, but most of it was definitely done by me." Napoleon began to defend his first The location of the author.

"Of course, because it is really difficult, there are not many places that require extremely high knowledge and skills."

"That's because I am already very strong, and in terms of mathematics, I am only a little bit worse than Joseph, Laplace and Mr. Gralange." Napoleon said proudly, "If you change, then Laplace Mr. Si will die, and he will not die while helping you solve the problem, but after solving the difficult problem, while trying to make you understand the idea of ​​solving the problem! Don’t say anything else, How simple the question of Joseph was just now, it's really embarrassing that you have been talking so much about it!"

"Then what fuze do you say in the British mines?"

"The same electric fuse as in our mines." Napoleon replied without hesitation, "It can be inferred from the shape of the antennae."

"That is Joseph's inference."

"Well, you two. Stop arguing about such insignificant things." Joseph shouted.

So the two brothers stopped talking.

"There are some technologies that are in fact impossible to keep secret for a long time. For example, the propeller is, even if there is no espionage means, this kind of technology is completely developed by yourself, it is just a matter of patting your head. Of course, Lucien, your head Exception. So Napoleon, take pictures of yourself, don’t reach out to take pictures of Lucien."

Napoleon retracted his outstretched hand.

"Joseph is right, it was a waste of effort to shoot you."

"Except for some real core technologies, but also the kind of technology that you can't understand. For other technologies, excessive secrecy seems to be of little significance now." Joseph continued, "In addition to technology, I have more I want to talk to you about scientific confidentiality.

As you know, we have hidden a lot of scientific discoveries. For example, in the area of ​​electricity, we have hidden a lot of scientific knowledge about the principles of generators and motors. This played a role. But it also brings some problems. "

"What's the problem?" Napoleon asked.

"The problem of the training of engineering personnel." Joseph said, "because a large amount of the most fundamental scientific knowledge is highly confidential to them when they are studying, so even the top students who graduated from the University of Paris, come to us, whether it is To go to the laboratory or go to the factory, it takes a long time to train them. The cost is very high. What's more, these people also have these secrets afterwards, in fact they have them. Iron rice bowl, no, not even iron rice bowl, but golden rice bowl.

Everyone who knows this knowledge knows how valuable this knowledge is. They naturally know that they only need to sell this knowledge, and they can sell enough money for his grandson to eat truffle caviar every day. So at this time, what we need to pay them is no longer just their wages, but even a hush fee for keeping secrets. We imparted knowledge to them, and in the end we still have to give them money for this. You say, how absurd is this?

In addition, even so, our ‘hush money’ is still not enough to guarantee their loyalty. We also need to strengthen confidentiality by controlling family members, tracking and monitoring and other means. This is another very large expense. Therefore, although this type of secrecy has brought us a certain time lead, the cost of secrecy is getting higher and higher, and it is increasingly difficult to continue.

In addition, there is another problem that we cannot underestimate the scientific research capabilities of other countries. Some of our products are always sold to foreign countries. Just like where did the British electric detonator technology come from? Most of them were imitated after getting samples from the battle with the Irish.

Some time ago, the British also organized an operation to steal electric motors. Although this action was thwarted by the Ministry of Public Security, Fouché did a very beautiful job. Just for the ability to do these things, I don’t think anyone in Europe is better than him. Lucien, you still need to learn from him. . "

Lucien nodded immediately: "Fouchet is indeed very strong in this respect, but there is a reason for talent, and he works very hard. In addition, it is difficult for me to concentrate on one event like him... but he Still really learned."

"Foucher can succeed once, but it cannot succeed forever. Electric motors are everywhere. If you have to get one back, you will always succeed." Joseph continued, "With samples, we will develop in reverse, with the scientific level of the British. It is not particularly difficult to reversely introduce some things. Therefore, the cost of continuing to keep secrets in science is getting higher and higher. Therefore, I think that we should not continue to keep secrets with some scientific knowledge."

Napoleon and Lucien were silent. After a while, Napoleon said: "This is indeed a problem. But after making this public, will their scientific research progress be greatly improved? Can we continue to stay ahead?"

"This of course will promote the scientific progress of European countries including the United Kingdom. But you must know that this European country also includes my country. First of all, we can save a lot of unnecessary costs, and these saved costs can be Used in scientific and technological research.

Secondly, even if these scientific discoveries are made public, within a period of time, in Europe as a whole, only our universities have the ability to teach this knowledge, and only we here have the conditions to widely use this knowledge. Any advancement in knowledge is inseparable from practice. Theory must be combined with practice to have vitality. In any other country, the conditions in this regard are far worse than ours. If we can let them surpass us under these conditions, they will be able to surpass us sooner or later even if we do not disclose these. "

"This makes sense." Napoleon said. "However, you can't let it go all at once. Well, you have to do it a little bit, step by step. In addition, what should be disclosed in each step, there must be a plan and an argument. You can’t just pat your head, you must have a plan and argument."

Having said that, he glanced at Joseph and said: "Joseph, your time is precious, and there are many things. You can't waste his time on such business things. Well, let Lucien do it. , You take the time to take a look and teach him."

"Is my time free?" Lucien was a little unconvinced.

"Among the few of us, you were the most free." Napoleon said, "You think I don't know. You have been fooling around in the Moulin Rouge every night until dawn for the past half month."

"Nonsense, this is what Fouché said? He is just jealous and slander! The Moulin Rouge is the signage of the entertainment industry in Paris, and the entertainment industry is an important part of the management of the Ministry of Truth. The entertainment industry in France is mine. Under the leadership of the thriving, in the past few months, a large number of wealthy people from other countries have been attracted to Paris to spend money. Napoleon, as you know, the entertainment industry is a heavy-tax industry, and it is only a Moulin Rouge company every month. You have to pay taxes of more than 100,000 francs to your government. The entire Montmartre entertainment district pays more than one million taxes every month.

Moreover, the Montmartre entertainment area also leads the fashion industry in Europe. Any luxury product, if it can't show up in Montmartre, will not be on the stage at all. How much benefit has this brought to our various industries? Napoleon, I'm not bragging about it. France is so prosperous now. The people of Paris and the people of France have so many smiling faces. I have done a lot.

Why can I do so well? Because I know that ~lightnovelpub.net~ can not come up with truly effective measures without in-depth investigation and research on the spot. If you don't practice it yourself, you won't have a correct understanding, and without a correct understanding, you won't have a correct decision. Do you think I am looking for fun? I was at work, working all night long! I just said that Minister Fouché worked very hard, but among all the French ministers, who is the hardest working? Of course it is me! You don’t say that I work hard, and you still slander me like this. This really makes me sad..."

Napoleon widened his eyes and looked at Lucien, and then said after a while: "Lucien, I didn't expect you to work so hard."

"Of course, you are all..."

"Or Lucien, I will set up another department to divide the entertainment industry among them, so that you can rest?" Napoleon interrupted him.

Lucien's eyes widened, and he stood up and said, "How can it be done? It is not easy for them to take over my job. It will take time and... In short, although it is very hard, it is for the sake of France." For the sake of the family, I am willing to work harder."
