America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 68 Unexpected Event: Antonio Meucci

Li Changsheng's goal was to push his research to its peak and usher in the Second Industrial Revolution for the world.

But while he was still making plans, Global Patent Group became an overnight sensation.

With the appearance of the two prophets, countless inventors appeared at the reception desk of the Global Patent Group.

One invention patent after another was placed on the table of the Global Patent Group.

One company after another approached Global Patent Group, wanting to cooperate with them.

Although many patents are not very useful, they can still play a certain role in a specific area. While they may not generate huge profits, they can still bring in a small amount of money.

In such cases, Global Patent Group will help apply for patents worldwide and collaborate with factories and capitalists around the world on development.

In just one month, Global Patent Group launched more than ten patented products, causing quite a stir around the world.

However, none of these things achieved the effect of becoming a global phenomenon or even influencing an era.

Just when everyone thought the two prophets' predictions might be in jeopardy, an unexpected event occurred.

Li Changsheng welcomed a special guest.

At this moment, Li Changsheng was sitting with his clone, the prophet Xuan Niao, drinking tea.

Hearing that the other party wanted Li Changsheng's help to cooperate with the Global Patent Group, Li Changsheng immediately let them in.

When the white man with a full beard came in, his eyes lit up when he saw the prophet sitting opposite Li Changsheng.

"Dear Prophet, thank you. Thank you for letting me know that my patent can influence an era, and thank you for letting me know that my invention can appear before the world in another way."

The prophet looked completely bewildered, and Li Changsheng was also somewhat confused.

Seeing the two of them, the white man composed himself, put down a suitcase he was carrying, and then said.

"Revered Prophet, please allow me to become a follower of the Black Bird Cult."

"Your believers have found their way to the future because of your prophecy."

"I always knew that what I was researching could be helpful to everyone in the world if it could be promoted, but I never thought it could become a reality through my own efforts."

"You gave me hope."

Then he looked at Li Changsheng.

"Also, Mr. Changsheng Li, thank you for your newspaper, which allowed me to see the prophet's words, to understand different worlds, and to realize that my research can benefit mankind in my lifetime."

If Li Changsheng hadn't already known Edison, he would have suspected that this man was Edison who had invented the light bulb and was just showing off.

The thing he was talking about that could change an era and benefit all people was the electric light.

So you've come here to play me, haven't you?

If Li Changsheng weren't trying to maintain his public image, he would have wanted to get rid of the person.

However, he held back and instead looked to the prophet's clone, letting him handle the situation.

The prophet's clone, but for the Native Americans, having even one more follower was important to the prophet's clone in order to make their lives better.

Therefore, the prophet's avatar acted very kindly.

"Sir, please don't be in a hurry. If you are willing to become a follower of my Xuan Niao Sect, I welcome you anytime."

"But could you please be a little clearer about what you're saying? After all, while I am a prophet, I am not omniscient."

The bearded white man calmed himself down and spoke in a slightly more composed manner.

"Excuse me, excuse me, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Antonio Meucci."

"Yes, probably no one has ever heard of my name."

However, just as he was about to wallow in self-pity, he noticed that the two people opposite him suddenly stood up.

The prophet said with an incredulous expression.

"Antonio Meucci?"

The bearded man asked in confusion.

"Yes, Prophet."

At this moment, Li Changsheng had a sudden thought and spoke.

"Just now, I had the privilege of inviting the prophet to tell me that his prophecies actually contained images of that thing that would change the world."

"Furthermore, the prophet also said that this world-changing thing would make communication between humans easier, and the researcher of this thing is named Antonio Meucci."

"Don't tell me you're Antonio Meucci, and that you've researched something new that could change the way humans communicate."

Is the bearded man, Antonio Meucci, out of his mind?

He was quite certain that the two people in front of him couldn't possibly know him.

But all I did was give my name, and they already knew me. Moreover, the prophet knew my name in advance and what I had been researching.

At that moment, he felt as if the prophet were a god.

He instantly understood why the prophet hadn't specified what it was, the time, or which aspect it was about in the newspaper.

If the other party really reveals all the predictions, then his telephone patent will definitely be exposed, and he won't be able to protect it at all.

The prophet did this entirely to protect himself and his own patent.

With a thud, Antonio Meucci knelt down.

"Thank you, Prophet, for everything you have done for me."

"As your follower, once my patent receives investment from the Global Patent Group or is bought out by them, I am willing to donate 10% of the patent fees and all subsequent profits to the Prophet's Black Bird Cult to help the sect develop."

The prophet Xuan Niao laughed.

Why did he come to Li Changsheng? Wasn't it because he was broke? He had originally planned to make some money by helping Li Changsheng, but now it seems he doesn't need to.

It seems he's found a way to make money.

If it can affect one person today, it can affect many more in the future.

Once the sect has grown, will he still be afraid of not having money?

With money, even Native Americans in America can be transformed by themselves.

He believed that he, as a prophet, would become the true spiritual leader of all Native Americans and the Blackbird Cult he founded.

"The Black Bird sensed your piety, and I grant your permission."

"You can go directly to Global Patent Group in a moment. When you get there, someone will receive you and give you the most suitable price. You can choose freely."

"However, I think that with your talent in this area, you could definitely choose to cooperate with Universal Patent Group."

"We will give all of your patents except for the American portion to Universal Patent Group in exchange for more shares in the related American patent industry."

"At the same time, you might be able to apply for research funding, which would allow you to conduct more in-depth research on the patent and even discover more things."

"This might be the best choice for an inventor or researcher."
