America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

The first patent that Li Changsheng developed was for barbed wire.

Barbed wire did not exist at that time.

Therefore, Li Changsheng handed over this patent to his new clone.

The clone is a Californian, and with this patent, the clone can become a well-known figure in California in the shortest possible time.

In the future, this patent could give them a foothold in California.

If you can't be a councilor, you can be a mayor.

Li Changsheng had already planned that, if possible, all future patent research would begin in California. This way, there would be more and more inventors in California, their status would rise, California would improve, and they would be able to quickly influence California's decision-making.

That way, they could take over the whole of California more quickly.

After registering the patent, we still chose to cooperate with Global Patent Group.

However, after splitting his research into barbed wire patents, he had the Global Patent Group invest in the project.

However, Li Changsheng's new patent was something he invested in himself.

Even after the patent application was approved, Li Changsheng did not publicize it in the newspaper.

Instead, barbed wire, this latest invention, was promoted in the Chinese American Weekly, the Chinese American Daily, and all related newspapers.

He even personally demonstrated his knowledge of barbed wire in order to promote it.

This is absolutely one of the greatest inventions ever.

Although this barbed wire fence looks simple, this invention is anything but.

As soon as these barbed wire fences appeared, I bought a lot of them and used them on my farm and in my factory.

Therefore, I also discovered the many uses of this barbed wire.

First, on the farm, you can use wire mesh to create a cage to house your pet animals. This way, you don't have to worry about them escaping or being attacked by wild animals.

Secondly, you can use barbed wire to build a fence; the spikes will deter many people from entering your farm.

Furthermore, the filter made by this inventor using wire mesh of different sizes is also very practical, capable of sifting sand into different particles, and its applications will be very wide-ranging.

Finally, I still want to say that inventions aren't judged by their size, but by their usefulness.

Let's invent more useful things to make life easier for humanity and enable us to become better people.

He said that all this stuff was actually just about promoting barbed wire.

The promotion of barbed wire, like the previous patents related to steel by Geelong, was all aimed at enabling its affiliates to monopolize the American steel industry.

The applications of barbed wire are very wide, and the clone will also gain a lot of profits from it. Just in time for the economic crisis, the clone can acquire a large number of steel mills and steel groups in the United States.

He knew that no matter which country it was, they would eventually try to combat monopolies, so he had dispersed the danger now.

No one could have imagined that the several competing steel groups in the future would all belong to Li Changsheng's alter egos.

Steel will remain a vital material for the next one or two hundred years, so mastering steel is tantamount to establishing oneself in this world.

He wanted his clone to stand at the top of America for the next one or two hundred years.

Similarly, the clones in other countries are also like this.

However, in some countries, Li Changsheng didn't have enough clones, so he had to register them all under one person's name for the time being.

And just as he had predicted, the barbed wire began to sell like hotcakes worldwide.

At the same time that the barbed wire was selling like hotcakes, Li Changsheng also successfully established his own factory with his new patent.

And a month later, the first batch of finished products was successfully produced.

The moment the finished product appeared, Li Changsheng immediately called out "GG" on Huamei Jewelry, Huamei Daily, and all the newspapers he controlled and could contact.

[The Changsheng Phonograph, the latest invention of the famous Chinese-American Changsheng Li, leaves sound to this era.]

[Leave your voice for the future, let our voices be passed down to posterity—the Everlasting Phonograph, a groundbreaking invention.]

[A little over a month ago, Changsheng Li successfully applied for his latest patent for a phonograph, and within that month, he produced the first batch of one thousand phonographs. Those who wish to purchase them can go to San Francisco or New York.]

[Chang Sheng Li personally recorded the first batch of audio, which he named "Voice of China." It contains a lot of information about China, and those interested can purchase it to listen to. Of course, this assumes you can understand the Chinese language. If you can't understand "Voice of China," you can also purchase the English version. If you're still not interested, there's a third option: after a while, "Voice of the World" will be released, recording the world's happenings.]

With the overwhelming number of GG (Goblind) reports, phonograph experience stores in San Francisco and New York became instantly popular.

When the sound of the phonograph slowly rose outside the shop, it made all the passersby stop in their tracks.

However, getting them to buy it is somewhat difficult.

Li Changsheng's phonograph was priced at $30, and each wax tube containing the sound of China cost one dollar.

At the same time, Li Changsheng also launched a tin foil tube that cost ten cents, which allowed users to record their own voices and let others hear them.

However, this type of phonograph has a major drawback: it is difficult to preserve and is easily damaged.

Even so, many people still tried it on the spot and left with a tin foil tube.

This included Edison, who had just arrived after hearing the news.

After trying it out, he bought ten versions of the Voice of China wax tubes and a phonograph and returned home.

Then, after comparing it with his own semi-finished product, he sighed.

"My phonograph is almost finished. It just needs a few key steps. Give me a few months and I can finish it."

"What a pity, that brat Changsheng Li finished it ahead of schedule."

"Such a wonderful thing, and I didn't invent it."

"Why did I give him those professional books in the first place?"

"If I hadn't given him the invention of the phonograph, it would have been mine, since his original inventions were all aimed at simplicity and practicality."

"It was because I gave him those professional books that he changed his direction and was able to directly steal my patent."

While listening to the gramophone's introduction to China, it happened to mention the Four Great Classical Novels of China.

When the topic of Romance of the Three Kingdoms came up, Edison thought of the copy he had bought.

I casually flipped through the pages and came across the scene of Zhou Yu's death.

Upon seeing the words "Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born?", Edison couldn't help but sigh.

"If you're already going to live, why keep living?"

Li Changsheng had no time to pay attention to Edison's remarks.

Li Changsheng has more important things to do now.
