I Can Meet with Dead Scientists

Chapter 440 - 222 Truth Revealed_2

So, if there are no surprises...

Should it be something like matches or fire sticks?

However, what surprised him was.

A moment later.

Thomson took out a black, thick, and hard object from a bag at his groin area, held it out to Xu Yun:

"Found it."

Seeing Xu Yun looking a bit bewildered, Will explained from the side:

"Mr. Luo Feng, the usage of this thing is quite simple. Just hold it and push up and down with force."

"Look, just like this."

With that, Will took the object, pressed a button, and pushed it slightly.

The next second.

A strong light immediately shot forth, hitting the tree stump across.

Ka!

Will pressed the switch again, and the light disappeared.

He gently tossed the object in the air, smiled at Xu Yun, and said:

"This is called a flashlight. It’s quite expensive, and not something you’d typically find at home."

At this moment.

Looking at the smug Will, Xu Yun wanted to say to this country boy:

I damn well know this is a flashlight...

But the question is...

Why is it appearing at this point in time?????

You have to know.

Based on previous situations, the current timestamp should be around 1850.

At most, with a fluctuation of a year, 1849-1851.

And in posterity, it’s a common knowledge for elementary students:

In 1879, Edison invented the long-lasting electric lamp.

But at this time, Edison was damn only three years old...

Not to mention, the flashlight was invented only after the electric bulb appeared, not until 1938, by Conrad Hubert.

In other words...

The invention of the electric lamp in this dungeon is a century ahead of the original history!

But based on what Xu Yun did in the 1665 dungeon, theoretically it shouldn’t result in such consequences.

Whether it was the binomial simplification or the elasticity formula snatched from Hook.

They were in other domains and wouldn’t align with flashlights.

For example, this era might well see refracting telescopes, spring dynamometers, inflatable dolls, and such.

Flashlights require electrical knowledge and the manufacturing of dry batteries, specifically the electrode plate problem.

This has really not much to do with Little Niu...

As the saying goes.

Telling stories doesn’t mean making things up, adapting shouldn’t be chaotic.

Simulations also need to follow basic... basic logic.

Fifteen minutes later.

Everyone finished dining.

Thomson went to the riverside to wash dishes, while Xu Yun and Will stayed at the site to set up tents.

Taking advantage of Thomson’s absence, Xu Yun looked at Will and asked:

"Mr. Will, do you know who invented the flashlight?"

"The inventor of the flashlight?"

Will paused slightly, then answered:

"His name is Greenwood McTominay, a British.

Xu Yun was silent for a moment and asked again:

"And the electric lamp?"

"Dylan Wilson, a French scientist."

Greenwood McTominay, Dylan Wilson.

These are names Xu Yun had never heard from his local knowledge...

Seeing Xu Yun’s thoughtful expression, Will added:

"Actually, whether flashlight or electric lamp, the real credit should largely go to Lord Newton."

Xu Yun blinked and quickly asked:

"What do you mean?"

Will first propped up the tent legs, knocked the ground stakes with a small awl, and explained:

"When Lord Newton was about thirty years old, he encountered several problems that troubled him, nearly causing his theoretical system to collapse."

"Thus, he wrote a letter to his friend ’Fat Fish’—who I asked you about from Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, seeking help."

"In the reply, Fat Fish not only resolved Lord Newton’s doubts but also pointed out a certain idea... could you pass that strut over to me."

After receiving Xu Yun’s strut, Will continued:

"Lord Newton used this as evidence and, through experiments, discovered a peculiar light spot, now called ’Newton’s Halo.’

"Influenced by the halo, Lord Newton devoted considerable effort to optical experiments, which naturally required a light source."

"Later, Lord Newton proposed many theories about light, including the prediction that metal heating would produce light energy."

"And then, following Mr. Faraday’s invention of the disc generator, Dylan Wilson invented the electric lamp 31 years ago, and Greenwood McTominay invented the flashlight 17 years ago."

After listening to Will, Xu Yun was stunned, his heart pounding.

That’s why...

No wonder ever since coming to this world, he’s had a strange sense of discord.

For example, Will and others’ clothing, carriage decorations, and cookware, food, etc., all differed slightly from the 1850 he knew.

At the same time, he recalled another matter:

When he had just crawled out of the ’grave’ and accepted the package from Will, he had inadvertently touched the gold inside with his fingers.

And while touching the gold, he naturally touched other objects.

Among them, there was an object with a hard texture, which now seemed to be the flashlight he brought?

According to the Halo’s shielding rules.

Anything that appeared later than the dungeon’s era would stay in reality, unable to be taken to the dungeon.

In other words.
