Chapter 184 Reencounter with Crawford

In the era before mobile phones, Kroford, who claimed to be researching communication equipment, was someone Qi Yuan had only met once, yet he already remembered him.

The man hadn't appeared since that incident, so his sudden reappearance caught Qi Yuan somewhat off guard, but he still went up to him.

Because he was also looking forward to the birth of the mobile phone.

If he had a cell phone, he could call for repairs right now, instead of running around to several shops and still not finding anyone to fix it.

With that in mind, Qi Yuan walked up to Croft's table.

Croft looked like he hadn't slept well for days; the dark circles under his eyes were severe. Seeing someone sitting opposite him, he said wearily, "Sir, this seat is already taken. Could you go... to Mr. Qi Yuan?!"

As his gaze slowly moved upwards, Croft was startled when he saw that the person who had come was Qi Yuan. The fatigue in his body was also greatly relieved.

Qi Yuan looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Mr. Crawford, it's been a long time."

"Alright, it's been a long time, Mr. Qi Yuan. I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to attend to, so I must go now. Please enjoy your meal."

With that, Crawford picked up his hat and hurried away.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Qi Yuan thought that Croft already knew his identity and was worried that sitting with him would displease the Leopold family, so he said, "Mr. Croft, I thought we were friends."

Upon hearing this, Croft paused, looking at Qi Yuan with some embarrassment.

"It turns out, only I thought so."

Upon saying this, Qi Yuan felt that he sounded rather pretentious.

But this kind of tea talk worked well on the soft-hearted and kind-hearted Crawford. He was about to leave, but after hearing this, he sat back down.

“Mr. Qi Yuan, you are a kind person. It is my honor to be friends with someone like you.”

“I also feel honored to be friends with someone as intelligent as you, Crawford.”

“Mr. Qi Yuan, you are exaggerating. Your status is so high that I cannot compare to you.”

"Mr. Croft, you flatter me. What's so special about my status? In my opinion, you, who are involved in science and technology, are the most distinguished, because what you are researching will bring great convenience to the lives of people throughout the North Continent."

Croft lowered his head in shame upon hearing Qi Yuan's words.

"I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Did something go wrong with the research?" Qi Yuan asked naturally.

Croft wanted to say something, but didn't know how. In his opinion, Qi Yuan didn't understand science, and even if he did, it wouldn't solve his doubts.

Moreover, telling Qi Yuan that he would definitely be scolded by Deng Luopu if he went back would be a mistake.

Although Dunlop was his brother-in-law and wouldn't hit him, being verbally abused was still a painful experience.

“Mr. Crawford, I don’t actually know much about the research and principles of telephones. I’ve only heard a little about it before,” Qi Yuan said. “He also encountered a difficulty that prevented him from continuing his research. I wonder if you, Mr. Crawford, have encountered a similar problem?”

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Croft was somewhat surprised, "Besides me, are there other people who have also studied this project?"

“My friend was doing this out of boredom. I remember him telling me that his research had progressed to the point where he could use specific digital channels to make calls to friends who were a certain distance away. However, the calls worked in some places, but not at a greater distance.”

Crawford's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but then he remembered Dunlop's words and held back.

"Mr. Qi Yuan, how did your friend solve this problem?"

Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It seems, Mr. Crofort, you've encountered a similar problem."

Croft hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not, and froze upon hearing Qi Yuan's question.

Qi Yuan didn't know how to make a telephone. He only had a general idea of ​​what was needed for wireless communication through some videos. He hoped that Croft could make the telephone as soon as possible so that he could find people more easily.

You can explain the principles you know to the other party, such as wireless telephones rely on electromagnetic waves for transmission, but due to environmental factors such as physical buildings or other electrical equipment, electromagnetic waves will weaken. Of course, without these, electromagnetic waves cannot propagate directly.

To solve this problem, we need to use base stations, which utilize the concept of cellular technology, and require the assistance of other equipment such as transmission towers.

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, Croft suddenly understood. He looked at Qi Yuan in disbelief and asked, "Mr. Qi Yuan, your friend knows so much, why didn't he realize the existence of the telephone?"

Qi Yuan thought for a moment, "He originally wanted to create it by his own strength, but creating a wireless phone requires a huge amount of manpower, material resources and various resources. He only realized this when he died, so he died before he could realize it."

"Mr. Crawford, was what my friend said helpful? Did it resolve your confusion?" Qi Yuan asked.

Croft nodded firmly. "More than just solve it, I feel like we could make a telephone right now if we went back! But, Mr. Qi Yuan, you know so much, why didn't you tell Mr. Noah?"

Croft thought it was strange that Qi Yuan told him all this, since Noah was also researching this now. If he told Noah, the Davis family would become the first family to invent the telephone.

Of course, the Davis family is now also cooperating with them and will be the first family to invent the telephone, but this time they will bring the Leopold family along.

“Mr. Crawford, you have done a lot of research. I think that as long as we overcome the current difficulties, the telephone will be available soon. However, the Davis family does not have your previous research data, so it will probably take another year or two to complete. The telephone will allow people separated by thousands of miles to hear the voices of their loved ones whenever they want, which is a good thing. Therefore, I hope it can be developed quickly. In addition, the emergence of a new product will definitely provide new jobs for a group of people. With more people making money, my restaurant business may continue to thrive.”

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, Croft looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

He was somewhat excited. "Mr. Qi Yuan, it's such a waste for someone as talented as you to be a mistress. Why don't you come work for me? Don't worry, I'll definitely persuade the head of the family!"

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and smiled, "Okay, I've been looking for another way out lately, so I'll have to trouble you."

"This meal is on me. After I finish eating, I'll go back and talk to the head of the family about this!"

Although Croft was excited and wanted to go back to Dunlop immediately to talk about it, he thought it best to treat Qi Yuan to a meal first.

After finishing his meal, Croft rushed home.

Asa looked at Qi Yuan with concern and asked, "Mr. Qi Yuan, why did you agree to work for the Leopold family?"

"Since I had nothing to do, I went to see what was going on."
