America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 5 Bicycle Chain Drive Patents

Regarding the issue of address, Li Changsheng specifically explained it to his clone.

Otherwise, it's inevitable that people will overthink it.

Li Changsheng was quite tempted by the suggestion from his clone, Lester.

The American West is not a good place.

Staying here is indeed somewhat dangerous.

Moreover, I now have dozens of clones, so my life safety is fully guaranteed.

Leaving the West Coast at this time is a good thing.

It just so happens that his book isn't popular here; perhaps it will be published in a safer area in the east.

However, what puzzled him was why Leicester also wanted to go to the East.

Seeing Li Changsheng's confusion, Lester shrugged and said.

"I don't want to go either, but the imperial laws on the west coast seem to be somewhat flawed."

"After all, our brothers in the East can directly obtain American citizenship here."

"Even though it's because they're white, it's enough to prove that there are too many loopholes in the law here."

"What I need is absolute security so that I can earn my first pot of gold and escape this damned farmer's identity."

Li Changsheng: "So?"

Lester: "So, Lee, if you agree to come with me, I believe you'll know what I'm going to do before you even get on the train."

Li Changsheng stood up.

"It's fine to wait for you to leave, but there's one more thing I need to do before I do."

"You can go and get ready; we'll be leaving shortly."

Li Changsheng didn't forget about his public persona.

He picked up the book he had finished writing.

Outside, amidst the bustling Chinese community.

"Fellow villagers, I must leave for now."

The Chinese laborers were somewhat surprised.

"Chang Sheng, I heard you submitted your book about the little dwarf for publication. Did you succeed?"

"Yes, yes, although I haven't read your book, the story you told about a group of dwarfs defeating demons and monsters does sound a bit like Journey to the West. Are these kinds of books popular in America?"

"Congratulations on your longevity."

Li Changsheng shook his head, sighed, and said.

"Although I have high hopes for this book."

"Even one of our employers, Mr. Leicester, is very optimistic about it."

"But newspapers on the West Coast are clearly not valued."

"As it happens, Mr. Leicester needs an assistant for his business trip to the East, and since I speak English, I was allowed to go with him."

"If I can establish myself in the East this time, I will not forget my original intention."

"I want to use the power of words to break through the discrimination in America, and I want to do my best to improve the status of Chinese people on this land."

"Remember what I said."

"I want to establish myself on this land, and I want to have more rights and status."

"First, we must strive to learn their language, and then use their superior techniques to subdue them!"

"I've already spoken to those white people. As long as you continue to do what I told you before, they won't make things difficult for you."

"At the same time, the farmer who recently arrived is very fluent in our language, so you can ask him for more information."

Goodbye, fellow countrymen.

Li Changsheng is gone, but he has left a deep impression on these Chinese laborers.

However, when he left, he had already become David.

After consciousness entered David's body, he also learned about the current situation in Australia.

As a colony, this area was largely occupied by white people.

However, according to David's understanding, there are still quite a few Chinese people in Victoria, where they live.

These Chinese people came here to pan for gold.

"As long as there isn't a full-blown anti-Chinese sentiment yet, that's good."

"Now that I've come to this era, the Chinese in Australia should at least get a share of the pie."

"Even if we can't occupy it all, we can't leave it all to other white people."

"It seems we need to plan this out carefully."

Li Changsheng left behind a new clone and left the clone with 100 catties of opium before departing.

Next, on the train from the western United States to the eastern United States.

Li Changsheng then summoned eight more white clones to join him in Australia.

On the ninth day, he had successfully reached the eastern United States.

It took him another five days to finally arrive in New York.

During those five days, because David passed through New Guinea on his return journey, he summoned a New Guinean black clone in New Guinea.

In the following days, several more black clones were summoned.

He just used up all of today's spots.

He handed over the more than ten citizen certificates he had prepared in advance, and then let the other party board a ship to Europe.

"I already have clones in Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Next, once I have a certain number of clones in Europe, I can head to Africa."

"In this way, my clones are now spread all over the world."

"However, with these clones, my current status and position are still insufficient."

"Next, we'll see if my book gets published, and of course, we'll also have to see what happens with Lester's patent."

He patted Leicester on the shoulder and said.

"Let's go, Leicester."

"I believe your patent can definitely fetch a good price."

"You can even gain long-term benefits if someone is willing to cooperate with you."

I originally thought that applying for a patent would be a very troublesome thing, but I didn't expect it to be so easy when I actually went to apply.

While applying for a patent, Li Changsheng also learned about copyright registration in the United States, so he simply registered the copyright for his novel as well.

Although public officials ridiculed Li Changsheng, a person of Asian descent, for registering an American novel.

After coming out, Li Changsheng looked at the copyright certificate in his hand and sighed.

"They didn't even ask what country I was from?"

Lester laughed.

"Luckily I didn't ask. If I had, they might not have registered you."

"Alright, now that you have the certificate, you can submit your work with confidence."

"Since you've been on the train lately, and you've written tens of thousands of words, why don't you just take those words and submit them directly to the newspaper?"

"Once the patent certificate is issued, I'll go to Wall Street to see if I can secure an investment, or just sell the patent."

Li Changsheng nodded.

"It would be best to secure an investment. If that's not possible, you can wait until the other clones have made money before getting them to invest, and then you can build the factory directly."

"After all, the patent for chain gear transmission is a gold mine."

Lester laughed.

"Patent protection only lasts for 17 years. It would be better for us if someone could sell it for a good price."

"That's true. Well then, I wish you success."

Just as the two were about to leave, an untimely voice rang out.

A figure, both unfamiliar and familiar, came into view.
