Greece’s Roman Road

In the next two days, Sanford used his family's network to win over and invite American congressmen and presidents to attend the banquet and inquire about the news of the American government.

Constantine stayed at Sanford's residence, waiting for news.

Schmidt stepped forward with a letter in his hand and handed it to Constantine.

An invitation letter: Invite the duke from Greece to visit and witness an epoch-making great invention in human history at 6 o'clock in the evening. The signature is Elena.

An epoch-making great invention? Constantine is really looking forward to it. The end of the 19th century was a period of rapid development of human science and technology, and various technological inventions emerged one after another.

At five o'clock in the evening, a carriage was parked on the side of the road, and Constantine, who had been dressed up for a long time, walked into the carriage, only to see Elena sitting in it, wearing a blue silk and lace low-cut long dress.

"Good evening, Miss Elena," Constantine took off his hat.

"I heard that you are going to show me a great invention. Can you tell me what the show is?" Constantine asked.

"Mr. Constantine, today we are going to visit a new achievement of the inventor, Mr. Edison, and we will never let you down," Elena said confidently.

Hearing the name Edison, Constantine was indeed a little surprised. After all, the name of the invention king was widely spread and famous.

The carriage drove slowly on the road, and as night fell, darkness enveloped the entire city.

The kerosene lamps at the four corners of the carriage were lit, and the dense orange-yellow light illuminated the surroundings of the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage came to 23 Wall Street and stopped in front of a tall building.

Although it was already night, around the building, a group of gentlemen wearing black trench coats and bowler hats stood by the roadside, pointing at the building, and three or five gathered together and whispered.

The two got off the carriage, with Elena leading the way and Constantine following through the crowd.

"Irina, you are welcome," two people approached, the older one said.

"Let me introduce, this is a noble gentleman from Europe, Constantine," Elena pointed to Constantine and said to the two.

"This is Mr. Pierpont Morgan," Elena said, pointing to the dignified older man with a mustache.

"This one is the famous inventor, Mr. Edison," Elena said, pointing to the other of the two.

Merely seeing these two celebrities, it can be said that the trip is worthwhile. The famous American financial family, the Morgan family's talker, and an inventor.

"It's a pleasure to meet the two of you, and I look forward to the next show." Constantine stepped forward and shook hands one by one.

"Haha, the sight you saw tonight will definitely make you unforgettable for a lifetime, it's definitely worth the trip," Edison said happily.

A nobleman from Europe came to watch the unveiling of his great invention, which made him quite satisfied.

The night was getting darker, and the surroundings were pitch black.

On the streets of New York in October, the temperature was cold and the wind was blowing. From time to time, guests rubbed their hands, tightened the collars of their trench coats, and curled their necks.

The guests around were already a little impatient. If it wasn't for the huge energy of the host invited today, everyone would have already left the venue.

They are all figures in the upper class of New York, standing in the cold wind and freezing on a cold day. What is this called?

"Gentlemen, next, everyone will witness an unprecedented feat in human history," Mr. Morgan shouted loudly to the crowd.

After speaking, he whispered to Edison beside him, "No problem, if something goes wrong, the two of us will be laughed at by people all over New York tomorrow, and the fun will be great."

"Don't worry, Mr. Morgan, we've practiced it several times, and there won't be any problems," Edison comforted.

Seeing Morgan turn his face away and not paying attention, Edison muttered in a low voice; "God bless this success"

When everyone heard that it was finally about to start, they couldn't help but cheer up, wait and see, and surrounded today's two protagonists in the middle.

I saw a few young men handing a switch connected to a wire to Morgan, but he immediately passed it to Edison and said, "This is your honor, Mr. Edison."

I saw Edison took the switch in his left hand and pulled down the switch in his right hand. In an instant, the whole building shone brightly.

The many "fireballs" hanging on the walls of the building illuminated the night sky, and the entire building was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

The dazzling light dispels the surrounding darkness, like the moon in the sky illuminating the night sky.

"Wow" from the people looking around, they were in a mess.

"This is really amazing, is this a miracle?"

"how did you do that?"

Seeing everyone asking, Mr. Morgan said excitedly; "This is Mr. Edison's new invention, the electric light. With this invention as a symbol, the history of mankind will enter a new era, and we will say goodbye to the old era where only fire can be used for lighting. "

The surrounding audience applauded and paid warm tribute to Mr. Edison's novel invention.

Constantine stared blankly at the bright building and said, "Electricity, electricity."

These radiant bulbs~www.wuxiax.com~ not only illuminated the night sky of New York, but also dispelled the haze in Constantine's mind about the fate of the Greek nation.

Constantine looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself, isn't this what he dreamed of?

Human history has entered the end of the 19th century. The experience of the previous great countries in developing industrialization is no longer enough for reference. Is it possible to overtake on a curve?

Electricity, an emerging energy source, is the key to the next breakthrough in Greece.

Elena looked at Constantine who was in a daze and smiled tenderly: "How about it, Mr. Constantine, do the Europeans have such an invention?"

Obviously, such a novel invention makes Elena, who is also an American, proud.

"Yes, Miss Elena, I really want to thank you for your invitation today, I already understand."

Constantine walked quickly to the two protagonists who were being congratulated by the crowd, and complimented: "Mr. Morgan, Mr. Edison, your invention is worthy of the word great, which will be unforgettable, thank you."

Light bulbs and electricity, two things that will become popular in the future, will undoubtedly make a lot of money for the two of them.

Now a kerosene lighting tycoon like Rockefeller is probably very nervous.

After the exchange, the two took a carriage and left the headquarters of Drexel-Morgan.

Constantine, who returned to Sanford's residence, was meeting Sanford who had returned from a meeting of dignitaries in the United States.

"Your Excellency, I have just received news from President Chester that the US government will not object to the Congolese Commission's management of the Congo River Basin under the terms of your agreement."

Hearing that, Constantine breathed a sigh of relief, just not objecting.

"Tomorrow we will return to Europe," Constantine said.
