Chapter 40 The Fountain of Time

"Never betrayal", this was given to Lionel Rothschild and the Marquis of India's Governor-General of Dalhousie, satirizing their attempts to overturn the company's founder's influence in the British Telegraph Company.

"Never get involved in a quarrel because of the benefits of words." That was given to him by Tang Ning.

The Knight of the Round Table was a great success, and hundreds of cars were rented out every day. Major newspapers wondered what the brand’s advice meant. Tsk, who said that our great inventor was a tycoon without culture? The name of the Knight of the Round Table was very artistic.

Tang Ning used this way of making a living by showing that he was a noble knight, quite artistic, ornamental and persuasive, which put Lionel, who was preparing for a lawsuit, under great pressure.

Some people may not understand why a financier has such great government influence and prestige? You should know that the Rothschild family has pan-European credit. The reason why the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon the Great played a very important role in the financial victory. The main reason was that the Rothschild family raised gold in the whole of Europe, such as hard currency, was to summarize global resources against Napoleon the Great. During the war in Europe, the currencies of various countries, including the British pound, became unhelpful, and only gold was hard currency. This family made the super British Empire. At least at this moment, the British government at this time was more important than Downing. Rothschild was a financial empire, a large family, controlling a considerable number of parliamentarians, and even the authority of the British Anglican Church dared to challenge. Although Downing's talent was outstanding, he was just a young man who had a lifetime of life, and a mixed-race monster with Chinese descent who could not even have a wife.

In order to regain public opinion, Lionel began to direct the newspapers with partnership to hype Downing's entry into Swiss nationality, accusing the baron, who was granted by Her Majesty the Queen, of not knowing patriotism and going to Zurich to build a large-scale industry. Not only did it be rebuked, but it should also be handled. There are indeed many laws in the UK to protect technology from being outflowed, but Downing's case is a bit different. He is his own technology, not the British technology, and it is really difficult to put the charge of commercial spies on him.

Tangning still did not join the verbal dispute, but brought a slightly prototype "Leica" camera prototype to visit the Queen's family. By the way, he gave it to the Queen's family, including Wangfu, Princess Victoria (the same name as her mother, 12 years old), Princess Edward (Crown Princess, 11 years old), Princess Alice (9 years old), Princess Alfred (8 years old), and Princess Helena (6 years old). Princess Louise is only 4 years old, forget it. Pay attention to the princess, the princess is really born, no wonder she can become the "Grandmother of Europe".

Through a large number of newspaper reports, the Queen's family had long been interested in bicycles, but due to the large travel situation, they had not yet obtained one. Then they had 7 bikes. The Queen's family happily learned to ride under the guidance of Master Tangning, like all ordinary families. For a moment, bells rang out in the courtyard of the castle, as if Santa Claus was driving a reindeer sled. In this extremely joyful process, Tangning secretly took out the Leica prototype and captured the moving moments of the royal family's warm family.

Work secretly and shoot. Only in this era can it be realized, because the preparation and photography process of silver-print photography in this era is extremely complicated and cumbersome, the equipment is as heavy as a mountain, and the requirements for light are extremely high. It is normal to have such things as sneak shots. Not only is it impossible to take secret shots, but when taking portraits, you also have to ask the photographer to stay in place like a model, because if there is a slight wrong exposure time and focus, you will not be able to do it, and you will waste your expression and energy.

The Leica prototype using rangefinding technology is quite exquisite, but the prince still discovered a certain baron's trick and asked: "What are you doing?"

A certain baron smiled mysteriously: "I will tell you the answer tomorrow!"

Hey! It's quite mysterious.

The Prince President told Tang Ning that his Fermat conjecture paper has been recognized and praised in the eyes of mathematicians at the University of Cambridge. If he still has the intention, the president could hire him as a professor of mathematics.

Mathematics professor, what a noble position, of course he needs to get one.

Prince: "Well, do you have time to go to Cambridge to teach students?"

Tang Ning: "I can go to class for half a day to one day every week, and this time can still be done."

Prince Xizhi: "That's great. I want to listen to your class. Of course, it's best to be radio and optical. You are the master in this regard."

Tangning: "You wait and see, I am as glorious as I am in mathematics."

After Tangning delivered the Knights of the Round Table to the Queen's House, he did not leave for dinner and left in a hurry. After he returned, he naturally wanted to check the interesting photos he had taken and wash them out in the darkroom. However, the next day, he did not go to Windsor Castle as promised, but went to Cambridge University with the Prince to meet his new colleagues.

Downing had been thinking about Cambridge University for a long time, and he became a professor until now. He finally got his wish and chatted with the old scholars he admired. Among them, he talked the most with the Babbage Mathematics professor who studies mechanical computers, because Downing once boasted about the inventing mechanical computers in front of the president, saying that he wanted to invent mechanical computers, which was a career that Babbage was doing but was far from accomplished.

Downing visited Babbage's wonder-like iron super-large computer. No, it should be said to be a calculator. It is indeed huge as a dinosaur, and made by a blacksmith, which is extremely expensive. He looked carefully for an hour before speaking: "Professor Babbage, have you ever heard of Lego blocks?"

Babbage: "Well, I bought it for my grandson, and he likes it very much."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's not just for children to play with. I heard that it's very difficult to modify problems when designing computers, because it's made of iron, and it's exhausting your blacksmith. I have an idea to make all the parts of your machine using Lego brick-like methods. In this way, you can change whatever you want, until you optimize a more useful machine and finally produce it. I just saw the parts of your machine and already have a preliminary design plan in my mind. About... In a month, I can create some prototypes and see. Making parts of acetate fiber is much simpler than using iron."

Babbage felt interesting: "Then wait for your good news."

Tang Ning took paper and pen, and took notes on the unformed bulky differential extension for more than ten minutes before leaving.

It was not until the third day that Downing appeared as promised in Windsor Castle, the place where the Queen's family was most often located. Since the royal power was constantly transferred to the government and parliament after the Glorious Revolution in 1688, the Queen was the lord of a country but rarely went to Buckingham Palace to work. She was just the real nominal head of British.

Tangning got out of the carriage, carrying an exquisite gift box in his hand, storing small gifts for the Queen's family. Yes, he was still in the carriage because the carriage was more spacious when he had something to carry, but of course the wheels of the carriage had been modified and pneumatic tires were used.

A little gift from the greatest inventor in the UK. I received a bicycle that made the children happy three days ago. I don’t know what will happen now.

It is indeed a small gift. Three days ago, Tang Ning secretly captured the picture of the Queen's family learning to bike. It is full-color, innovative photo paper, and a large 11-inch photo.

The first picture is a happy picture of Princess Victoria grinning. Princess Sunshine is so beautiful and very happy.

There are 12 pictures in total, and basically every member of the Queen's family has all kinds of expressions in the process of learning to drive happily, sincere and enthusiastic. This is an unprecedented color photo, not only for members of the royal family, but also for all mankind. The photos displayed in "Nature Magazine" are static, but this time is dynamic, marking a breakthrough in human photography technology.

Of course, the royal family is rich in the world, and the world's largest diamonds are not taken seriously, but only the most powerful inventors can give them such epoch-making gifts.

The children were amazed and unconsciously their pictures were photographed. It was so amazing. Even the queen's eyes were wide open. This close-up shot was taken. The human image was like the clear blue waves of God's palm that was pulled from the spring of time. Realist painters can all retire.

Prince: "Wow, this is what you took with that gadget that day? It's amazing."

Downing: "Yes, I call it Leica camera, and unfortunately, it's just a prototype, and it's not mass-produced yet."

He had known that the principal would be interested in this thing and took it with him, so he took it out and introduced the method to use it.

Just a small thing the size of a palm can accomplish a feat that a broken camera with a foot basin cannot be accomplished.

Dual-optical distance axis viewfinder, variable exposure speed shutter, photosensitive film, mechanical automatic roll change, photo washing time only takes more than ten minutes, which is super portable. All parameters and solutions turn silver photo imaging into slag in seconds.

Downing explained the epoch-making nature of these dynamic imaging and said: "I want to dedicate the honor of this world's first dynamic photograph to Her Majesty the Queen. I wonder if it's appropriate for me to publish these pictures in the Telegraph?"

Her Majesty the Queen is so smart. Tang Ning is advertising his bicycle. If he agrees, he will become his advertising model! But he refuses and is reluctant to let it go. This is the world's first dynamic photo!
