America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

The one who interrupted Li Changsheng this time was none other than Edison.

Regardless of what kind of person Edison will be in the future, at least the Edison of today is indeed a person who is dedicated to scientific research.

He came to Li Changsheng to show off.

"Li, I have another new research result. I believe that once I register this research result as a patent, it will bring me huge benefits."

"Come with me to witness this important moment."

Li Changsheng thought to himself that it was childish, but that was just right.

During this time, Li Changsheng, together with his clone, has developed the patented product he had previously conceived.

He had previously planned to refine the patents and apply for more patents, but now it seems that there's no need for that.

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to have new patent research, Edison. I've also come up with a new patent, so let's go together."

Edison had originally wanted to show off, but upon hearing that Li Changsheng had also developed a new patent, he immediately lost his desire to boast and instead asked curiously.

"Li, how did you develop a new patent so quickly? Tell me about the direction your new patent is in?"

Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"I'm different from you. You researched cutting-edge technologies, but I don't understand those technologies, so I research things that we can use in our daily lives."

Edison lost some interest when he heard that Li Changsheng's things were things that could be used in everyday life.

Take, for example, the fountain pen that Li Changsheng researched before. Although it changed an era, no matter how good the fountain pen was, it didn't have much technological content.

Ultimately, it was just a whimsical idea.

A true inventor should research the newest and most incomprehensible things like him to demonstrate the value of a scientist.

"Li, I have to say, your ability to discover different things in everyday life and create something uniquely yours is truly remarkable."

"But many of these things that are applicable to daily life are actually worthless."

"If you trust me, then come with me and study these technical things carefully."

"If you don't know where to start, I have a lot of books. I'll get you some later so you can study them carefully."

Li Changsheng was still thinking about buying some books to help him with his research, so that people would know that he had studied hard and developed those high-tech things.

Before he could even buy the book, Edison was already sending it to him. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just about to fall asleep.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll come straight to your house to get the books when I get back. I'm also looking forward to studying them properly. Maybe I can research something even better and make more money."

Edison was just saying it casually, but unexpectedly Li Changsheng actually agreed.

But he agreed, though he didn't believe Li Changsheng could learn the book after reading it.

You have to understand that you're already a genius, and it took you a long time to learn those things. It's absolutely a pipe dream for Li Changsheng to learn them.

"Alright, I'll come back and get it for you, but let's go apply for the patent first."

"My things are in the carriage outside. Where are yours?"

Li Changsheng said as he ran towards the backyard.

"Wait for me, my things are in the carriage behind. I'll go and bring the carriage over."

When Edison saw Li Changsheng bring the carriage over, he was curious and wanted to take a look, but Li Changsheng stopped him.

"If you want to see my invention, let's wait until we get to the patent office."

"You're so stingy. You're not even afraid to let me see your patents."

"Isn't that obvious? I can't even understand your patents. What good would it do me to show them to you? You can understand my patents at a glance. I can't let anyone see them first."

"I told you, we need to research some high-tech things, because only these things are not easy for others to imitate."

"I'd like to, but I don't have the ability. Could you give me more books later so I can study them carefully?"

As they talked, they each drove their carriages toward the Patent Office.

Upon arriving at the patent office, the staff there already recognized the two of them.

After all, both of them are celebrities.

Edison's inventions and the money he made were reported in the newspapers, and he even established his own company, becoming a prominent figure on Wall Street.

Li Changsheng, a Chinese, was even more remarkable.

Not only does he invent things, but he also writes books, founded a globally bestselling newspaper, and owns several of his own companies.

He is also a leading figure among Chinese Americans.

It is said that there are now 500,000 to 600,000 Chinese in America, and they are all led by this man named Changsheng Li.

These are the kinds of people they can't afford to offend.

Therefore, upon seeing the two arrive, the staff greeted them very warmly.

Edison didn't waste any words and proudly took out his invention, the dual telegraph machine.

After a series of experiments, the patent application was completed.

"Li, I guarantee that my machine will be a global sensation. It won't just bring me millions in revenue, it will at least bring me hundreds of thousands of US dollars."

"Now you can show me what your patent is, right? I wonder if your patent can make as much money as mine this time."

Li Changsheng smiled and led his men to his carriage, opening the back door.

He took out two radiators that he had welded together.

Yes, it's just two cast iron radiators.

Edison didn't realize at first what this was.

But when Li Changsheng connected the water pipes to both ends of the radiator and then to the faucet, Edison's eyes widened.

"So that's how it is."

Li Changsheng said smugly.

"I told you you could understand this at a glance!"

"So, how does my patent's earning power compare to yours?"

Edison glanced at Li Changsheng with a complicated expression.

"Li, I have to admit, you really are a genius."

"Cast iron radiators have been in use for so many years, yet no one has ever thought of modifying them."

"The original cast iron radiator was just a hollow iron sheet."

"The heat dissipation effect will definitely be worse, but your two types of radiators have changed the radiator from a single piece to multiple columns."

"Although it may not look like a big change, the heat dissipation effect will be greatly improved."

"It can heat up faster and save energy."

"I guarantee that once these two types of radiators are launched on the market, they will be a global sensation."

Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"So, do you think your patent is more profitable, or my patent?"
