"Then, my dear brother, since you have made such a judgment, you must have a further plan, right? The revolution in France is a big event, and I don't believe you're just going to stand by and watch. Napoleon asked.

"This is a French matter," Joseph said. Joseph said, "I don't want to interfere too deeply, I just want to take advantage of the situation. Do you know what revolution means?"

"A big civil war, like in England," Napoleon said. Napoleon said.

"No, it's not just that. France's problems are much bigger than England's, and its people are much angrier than England's," Joseph said. Joseph said, "Besides, France is a continental country. In a sense, it is the heart of the entire European continent. If the crown of the king of France falls, it will fall with many other crowns on the continent. The war would last for a long time, and it would probably burn throughout Europe. Countless people, no matter how noble or humble they once were, would be crushed to pieces. Like the little worm that stands in front of the wheel of a wagon, whether it is a little beetle or a praying mantis that can eat a little beetle, it is crushed to powder equally - death is great equality, don't you think, Napoleon? As for me, I will stay away from the wheel, and when it has run over, I will eat the carcasses of the crushed worms, like the vultures or the hyenas."

"O, my brother, it is you! Napoleon said with contempt, "You have the eyelashes that open the dust of the times and the pupils that see through the fog of society, but you do not have a brave heart to ride the current of the times. I will jump on that chariot, control it, and make it go the way I want it to go.

"Foolish son of Helios, my foolish brother! Joseph said, "You want to ride your father's flaming sun chariot into the sky, but have you ever considered that you have such power? O poor worm of life and death, son of uncertainty and sorrow, have you forgotten the words of Delphi, "Know yourself"? The quote means "know yourself". Ah, how unlucky I am to have such a foolish brother as you, and I must always be ready to catch you when you overturn the sun chariot and fall headlong from the sky.

When Napoleon heard this, he laughed with joy. For Joseph had compared him, in his earlier speech, to the hero Phaethon, the son of Helios, the sun god of ancient Greece. This hero had caused a serious accident by driving his father's solar car without a license and had lost his own life as a result. But in any case, he is an extraordinary and courageous hero.

"My arrogant brother, you also need to "know yourself". Who do you think you are when you think you can catch the sun chariot when it falls? Is it Zeus?" Napoleon laughed, "But my dear Hyena, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of your plan.

"No matter what we are going to do in the future, we still need some material preparation. So I plan to make a fortune when the revolution comes," Joseph said. Joseph said.

"Well, if you can judge the timing of revolutions and wars more accurately, you can make a lot of money. A lot of things become very scarce after a war breaks out," Napoleon said. Napoleon said, "But just as Archimedes needed a long lever and a fulcrum to pry up the earth. The more money you have in your hand before that opportunity comes, the more you will gain. How are you going to get your leverage and fulcrum?

"That's a big question." Joseph frowned. In pre-revolutionary France, it was too difficult for a poor man to save money, even if he was a crossover. If a poor man could earn money with his own skills, he would not go to the revolution. The reason why there is a revolution is that the system in France today is blocking the way to a better life for everyone, isn't it?

"If it were easy to get rich, no one would want a revolution. Napoleon also nodded, "So you won't have long leverage and strong pivots. You'll just have to keep eating black bread without butter and a lamb chop a month.

"That's not enough." Joseph shook his head.

"The Academy of Sciences is offering a prize for a paper. Napoleon suddenly said, "The prize is very good. I'm going to try to write one. Joseph, you can try too.

The Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris was founded by Richelieu, the prime minister of Louis XIII. Now located in the Louvre, it is the highest academic institution in France. It offers a very generous reward of 600 francs for the papers it collects. In addition, it is a great honor to win this prize. For a man like Napoleon, the latter was perhaps the more appealing thing to him. In his eyes, it was perhaps as much a sign of heroism as the laurels of the ancient Greek Olympic competition. However, Joseph also thought that it was a good idea. As a traveler, he knew a lot of scientific knowledge far beyond this era, and it would be good for the future to find something in it to cheat money and give himself a little prestige in the process.

"The only thing is, considering the scientific basis of this era, what to get out, both explosive and not to do too much pre-work? Joseph could not help but think, "How about I throw out the most terrifying double-slit diffraction experiment in the history of physics in advance to scare them to death?

On the question of the nature of light, there have been two opposing views, namely, the fluctuation theory represented by the British scientist Hooke and the particle theory represented by the British scientist Newton. Because of the influence of Sir Isaac Newton's great achievements, people were more willing to believe in his viewpoint, so for a long time - until the "bimodal" diffraction, a monster that has shaken the whole physics more than once, was released --particles were overwhelmingly dominant. The first to unleash this beast, the double-slit diffraction experiment, was carried out by the British scientist Thomas Young, who used it as a weapon to challenge the dominant particle theory in 1801. However, he was an Englishman, and in England, although Sir Isaac Newton had died more than seventy years earlier, his prestige had grown in those seventy years. Any challenge to Newton's theory was seen as "absurd" and "illogical", and because Thomas Young was unable to give a mathematically sound explanation, and because his mistaken treatment of light as a longitudinal wave led to a series of inexplicable problems, the monster was ignored by the British physics community. It was not until more than a decade later that the French scientist Fresnel, based on Huygens' principle and the interference principle, treated light as a transverse wave and established the Huygens-Fresnel principle in a new quantitative form, perfecting the diffraction theory of light and thus perfectly explaining the double-slit diffraction experiment, that the fluctuation theory turned into the master and prevailed in the battle with the particle theory. The battle with particle theory was won. ｛Of course, this is also related to the fact that Fresnel was French. Basically, the French are always willing to support anything that the British oppose. Although the supporters of the particle were still in the majority in the French Academy of Sciences, it was not so much that Fresnel was unable to make a statement.}

"The conditions were not too difficult for the experiment to be realized," Joseph thought. In fact, in later times, this experiment could have been done in a high school laboratory," Joseph thought. As for Fresnel's proof, the preliminaries required were relatively limited. Of course, there are still some, but it is mainly mathematical preparation, and it is not impossible. I can even bring out the Poisson spot experiment and make them all dumbfounded.

Thinking about it, Joseph laughed: "My stupid brother, it's rare that you have a good idea. It seems that even a fool, after a thousand thoughts, can produce a shining idea.

"You know, my arrogant brother, I have been preparing for this for some time, and I think I have a much better chance of winning than you do. Napoleon replied.

"Well, let us each prepare an essay and see whose essay is better," said Josephus. Josephus said.

"Yes." Napoleon said, but then he quickly responded, "No, Josephus, there is a trap in your language. You are talking about who is the better essayist, not who wins. My brother, the level of the essay is completely debatable. In this way, even if it is me who wins, you can say that it is because those old people in the science faculty are blind and that the level of your paper is far better than mine, and then you can blame yourself and not admit defeat. Honestly, Joseph, is that what you're thinking?

Joseph listened, took a step back, looked at Napoleon, shook his head, and said in a very sad tone: "Ah, Napoleon, how can you be so suspicious of me? You make me too sad. And ．．．．．．" The tone was as sad as Medea, who had been abandoned by Iason. But then he suddenly changed his tune and said, "You know, the Academy, or anywhere else, is full of idiots. The odds are good that they're blind. Of course, to be honest, there are many people in the Paris Academy of Sciences who are not dumb. So, my brother, the chances are very high that they will read your foolish article and simply not understand mine. So their judgment cannot be the criterion for judging. But ．．．．．． My brother, how about this, let you be the judge of whether my essay is of a higher standard than yours? You are a stupid guy, but also a proud guy, you do not care to say in such a matter against the heart.
