Within the Institute of Electrical Research, Slayden Walter was undoubtedly a giant.

Below him are various research groups that report directly to him, responsible for researching applications of electricity in different areas.

For example, electric current can be used to drive mechanical transmission, serving as a power source.

Or, they could simply use electric current as a weapon.

There were even more outlandish proposals, after all, electricity had only been discovered not long ago, and everything required Inspiration.

William Jesley was in charge of the part that involved transmitting information via electrical current.

Below him were the various researchers.

Below the researchers are research assistants like Sulu, and even worse off, like Andrew, who are all at the bottom of the pyramid.

"We know... the speed of electric current is very fast, extremely fast! And experiments on electrostatic reactions have also proven..."

Shortly afterward, William Jesley arrived and excitedly declared, "If we can accomplish our plan and make electricity carry the information we want it to carry, it will surpass all postmen, carriages, and even trains! It will become the best information carrier of the new era!"

Sulu assisted from the side, silently observing the experimental apparatus in front of him.

It has a complex circuit, consisting of thirty-six lines, each submerged in a different brine pipe.

Each brine tube had detailed markings, in the Common Hebraic alphabet and some common symbols.

This is the receiving terminal, which will be used to express the information in the electric current.

"What is the status of the receiving terminal?"

Upon hearing William's question, Sulu quickly stepped forward to check. "Everything is normal!"

"Great! I'm going to begin!"

William stood a few meters away, pressing the keys on his typewriter.

As he types a letter, an electric current flows through the circuit, reaching different salt water tubes where electrolysis occurs, producing tiny bubbles.

"Slow down! Slow down... Hurry, write it down!"

Cecilia watched this scene, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Green... tree... fortress!"

This isn't stuttering; it's information typed out letter by letter.

"That's right, it's ' Green Tree Castle '! Haha..."

William laughed loudly, "We succeeded!"

For a moment, everyone in the laboratory cheered.

"A prototype of the Telegraph?" Amid the cheers, Sulu muttered to himself, "What a pity... it's completely impractical."

"Good!"

After several more attempts, William made a decision. "Report the experimental results, apply for more funding... This time I'm going to challenge myself to run 100 meters, no! 1,000 meters!"

Seeing so many people cheering, Sulu really felt a toothache.

After the experiment, in the office.

"Professor, may I come in?"

Sulu knocked on the door from the outside.

Since William did not take him as a student, he could not call him his mentor.

"Can!"

William's voice came from inside, and when he saw Sulu enter, he showed a rare smile.

Firstly, the experiment was successful, which put me in a good mood; secondly, time has gradually proven that Sulu is indeed very capable.

"I heard you've been reading in the common library lately? That's great, very good... Electricity is an emerging field, but I believe in its potential!"

William laughed.

"I am absolutely confident about this, and there's one more thing!"

Sulu smiled and handed over two pages of paper, "This is the paper I'm preparing to publish. What do you think, Professor?"

"Conjectures on Direct Current?"

William glanced at it, his eyes lighting up. "Excellent! Very good... It's quite inspiring for me! I'd like to do two more experiments. I think it's worth 10 points; with just this one paper, you're good enough to be promoted to researcher!"

"Thank you!" Sulu said politely for a few moments, then finally got to the point. "Today's experiment is definitely promising for understanding electrical information... but I feel it still has some problems; it's too unstable..."

It was somewhat embarrassing to say this in public. After choosing to experiment, Sulu said privately, "If it's just an experiment, it's not a big deal, but it's almost impossible to put into production. Perhaps we should change our approach!"

"Let's change our approach!"

William's stern face hardened again. "Do you think I'll fail the experiment?"

"No, no, Professor... what I mean is, the experiment might succeed, but continuing down this path will be very difficult!" Sulu offered his suggestion tactfully.

"Go out!"

William's face darkened. "Remember, you're just an assistant! Science... requires constant exploration, especially new disciplines!"

"Feel sorry!"

Sulu turned and left.

As he left the information building, he gazed at the colorful sunset and sighed.

Not everyone has the experience to know which path is a good one and which is a dead end.

But scientific research requires some stubborn people.

Only when you reach a complete dead end, and suffer heavy losses, can you prove that this path is wrong and should be abandoned!

late at night.

In the dormitory, at his desk, Sulu was hunched over, writing furiously. "Some speculations about the future of direct current..."

Regardless, I still need to finish the paper and get those ten points first.

After William's comments today, he has more confidence in the paper.

After an unknown amount of time, Sulu put down the last period, stood up, and stretched.

He went to the window, gazing at the almost pitch-black night outside, and the countless stars and moon. "This was once the life I planned, but alas..."

All meals and accommodation included, with generous benefits.

Basically, even college graduates find it difficult to find the same kind of job.

If things had gone according to plan, Sulu would have gradually released his knowledge, eventually earning a title such as a theoretical physicist.

While they're at it, they can also acquire patents or start a company, thus completing a glamorous transformation and becoming successful capitalists, allowing the Portley Family to shine brightly in the White Eagle Federation.

Unfortunately, the appearance of the Dawn of Gods changed everything.

"Even... not just the mystical side, but physics itself must change because of them!"

"Therefore, I must elevate my status as soon as possible; being a little more radical is acceptable!"

Sulu returned to his desk, picked up his previous paper, and began writing down some new knowledge points from his memory.

After becoming a superhuman, especially one with special mental abilities, he found his memories becoming clearer and clearer. Whether it was before or after his transmigration, he could recall most of it after a few tries.

This was especially helpful for him in organizing the treasure trove of knowledge from his past life.

"Based on my observations over this period of time, Professor William's team is indeed top-notch in the field of Electromagnetic Informatics, and is their ultimate goal the Telegraph?"

"Actually... the team has already completed most of the prerequisite knowledge points; all that's left is a single approach!"

This is the difficulty of scientific research.

All the prerequisites were met, but the right path couldn't be found; all that was missing was Newton's apple.

But Sulu is different!

His past life experiences allowed him to avoid detours that could take decades or even centuries, and directly lead him in the right direction.

"Morse Code! You're the one!"
