As King of Spain, Carlo could not remain idle forever.
After much deliberation, Carlo decided to build up his own pool of talent and lay a solid foundation for the Second Industrial Revolution.
Put plainly, the Second Industrial Revolution was the age of electricity, marked chiefly by the discovery and widespread use of electrical power.
Germany and the United States were both driving forces behind the Second Industrial Revolution. This was also why, after electrification, their national strength rose so rapidly that they surpassed Britain, the driving force behind the First Industrial Revolution.
No matter what, Spain could not afford to miss the Second Industrial Revolution.
But there was one problem at present: the awkward timing.
Most famous scientists had either not yet been born or were still in school, so naturally they were not among the people Carlo wanted to recruit.
Most of the remaining scientists had already achieved some success, and luring them from abroad to Spain would not be so easy.
After carefully searching through his memories for half the day, Carlo could only think of two names for the time being.
One was Karl Benz, the famous German scientist and entrepreneur who had founded Mercedes-Benz with his own hands. The other was Gram, the Belgian-born French physicist who had truly realized power-generating equipment suitable for industrial production.
When generators were mentioned, the familiar names were Faraday and Henry. But these people were more like pioneers. They proposed the theories and built experimental devices, yet failed to truly produce generators practical for industrial use.
Gram, however, had accomplished this. The electric power industry was built upon the two DC and AC generators Gram developed, and that was why Carlo had been able to remember his name.
With rough names and countries in hand, investigating the two became
