Joseph has nothing big to do recently. The technology trees that are easy to climb now have basically climbed, and the technology trees that are not easy to climb are still not easy to climb. For example, in medicine, antibiotics have been discovered in the laboratory. This is not difficult, just a little penicillium is enough. But the purification and production of antibiotics, well, I don’t know what year it happened. In addition, for example, synthetic ammonia technology, in the laboratory, there were some results, but when trying to industrialize, it immediately caused a big explosion. During the explosion, more than 300 workers and more than 50 engineering personnel died on the spot.

No one felt sorry for more than 300 workers who died. Anyway, most of them were Germans. If they died, no one would take them seriously except their own relatives. As the saying goes, "Relatives or their misery, others have already sang." But if more than 50 engineers died, it really made the French feel sorry for them. Among these engineers, even the lowest level of intern engineers are college students who graduated from the Paris Higher Technical School. In France, they are also senior talents. As for the higher-level senior engineers, there are several, and even the chief engineers are on the death list.

So the plan could only be postponed indefinitely. Napoleon was very angry and severely criticized Joseph's ruthlessness in his objective conditions.

So now, if you want to tell the truth, Joseph doesn't have much importance in his hands. Recently, his most important thing is to encourage his assistant Gauss to deduce something he has completed, but because it is too scary, he throws out something that has hidden secretly to scare people.

However, in mathematics, European countries are no longer the opponents of France. At this time, Joseph encouraged Gauss to throw out this thing. The main purpose is not to scare foreigners, but to suppress the guys from the High School in Paris and consolidate his status as a top student. Yes, Joseph is now a top student, and not a top student in the exam, but a top student in the academic world.

Nowadays, in physics and medicine, there is no force that can compete with the Joseph school, but in mathematics, the Paris Higher Teachers Department still has very strong strength. So Joseph targeted them. It can be seen in particular that under the leadership of Joseph, the French scientific community has been inverted to the extent.

Currently, Joseph is working with Gauss to make final preparations for his very pioneering, breakthrough, importance and subversive theory. He intends to use this to dig a hole and attack the guys from the Higher Teachers Department in Paris.

However, this matter is mainly done by Gauss, and Joseph only cares about the general direction, so now he has a lot of time to teach his children what is worth playing in Italy.

It has basically been negotiated with Italy. Joseph also prepared a fine Italian tour route for Mr. Lavoisier (actually more for his daughter). First, go to Milan for a few days, then go to the University of Padua and then go to Venice for a few days, then go to the University of Siena, then the University of Bologna, and then go to Rome for a week. Well, considering that Alice is still young and needs to rest more, then take a few more days in Rome, even if it is half a month, then...

In addition, to installing a B in universities in other countries is not necessary for Joseph. However, it is still necessary to arrange his own students and assistants to go there...

The relevant matters were arranged soon, but the day before departure, news suddenly came that Mr. Lavoisier was sick.

Mr. Lavoisier is already old, so it is very normal for him to suddenly have a headache or fever. However, Joseph still hurried to visit Mr. Lavoisier.

Joseph met Lavoisier who was resting in bed at Lavoisier's home. Mr. Lavoisier seemed to have a cold, lying there, sneezing and running nose. The doctor had already used the latest mercury thermometer to measure Lavoisier's body temperature. Mr. Lavoisier had a slightly fever, but he did not show any symptoms of coughing, which means that at least there is no risk of turning into pneumonia for the time being.

"Mr. Lavoisier, how do you feel?" Joseph asked.

"Ah, my head is very heavy, and my whole body hurts so much. I was fine last night." Lavoisier was lying on the bed, with a wet towel covering his forehead.

"You must have a cold, nothing is wrong," said Joseph.

"I know, the doctor said so. The doctor said that in a week, I should be able to recover. But I guess I will not be able to recover in less than two weeks. After all, I am not a young man. Fortunately, your research has completely overturned the bloodletting therapy. If you don't let them bleed, I think I will not be cured for a month."

"Ah, Mr. Lavoisier, I think you should be well soon. It can be seen from your very organized speech." Joseph said.

"Ah, Joseph, who will lead the delegation tomorrow?" said Lavoisier.

"Or what do you think, Gauss?" Joseph knew that Lavoisier would definitely not be able to lead the team.

"Gauss is still a little younger," said Lavoisier. "Besides, we promised them to be led by a dean's level. Gauss' level is not enough. Oh, Joseph, you should have nothing to do recently, right?"

"It's nothing, it's just reviewing a new paper by Gauss." Joseph replied.

"Well, Gauss is going to Italy too. Otherwise, you will lead the team. Anyway, if there is any problem, you can communicate with Gauss." Lavoisier said, "Besides, you can take care of Little Alice."

Joseph thought about it and felt that this suggestion was indeed very good. Now he has achieved success and in a short period of time, France does not seem to be in any particular danger. It is actually quite good to take this opportunity to relax. However, Mr. Lavoisier seemed to be too enthusiastic about Italian affairs and he probably took the money from the Italians.

"But Fanny..." said Joseph.

"Fanny still needs you to take care of?" said Mrs. Lavoisier. "You go out, maybe she will be easier."

This is actually true, and Joseph himself felt so. However, although he thought so in his heart, he said, "I can help a lot in the family affairs. However, Mr. Lavoisier cannot go there, and I am really worried that others will take Alice with me. It seems that this is the only way. It just so happens that I have nothing to do now. Well, Mr. Lavoisier, do you need me to bring you some souvenirs from Italy?"

"Ah..." Lavoisier thought for a while, "What's the matter with Italy? Oh, why don't you, please bring me a set of Roman coins for me..."

When he got home, Joseph told Fanny about his decision to go to Italy for a walk. Fanny was not opposed to this.

"It's okay if you go, Mr. Lavoisier is old after all. Fortunately, he is sick in Paris. If he is sick in Milan, Padua or Siena, who will take care of Alice?"

So Joseph quickly equipped his equipment, and the next day he took his daughter, a group of students and assistants, and embarked on the way to Italy.

There are railways from Paris to southern France, but there is no direct railway from France to Italy. The junction of France and Italy is full of steep mountains. It is still a little difficult to build railways in the Alps, so the usual way to travel is to board the boat from Marseille and then go ashore from Italy.

Napoleon and Lucien went to the train station to see Joseph and his party off. He watched Joseph and his party get on the train and enter the special car. Then he waved to them, and the train slowly moved.

Napoleon stood on the platform and watched the train slowly walk away. He couldn't help but waved his hand excitedly and said to Lucien next to him: "Okay, it's half successful! Now, let's follow the plan to move on to the next step."

"Don't worry, at least we will not be able to really make a move until Joseph arrives in Milan." Lucien said.

"Yes, yes, you can't be anxious, you can't be anxious." Napoleon rubbed his hands, looking restless.

"Violence!" Lucien couldn't help but shake his head.

In Joseph's box, Joseph handed a folder to Gauss.

"Gauss, how about my proof?" Joseph smiled proudly.

Gauss took the folder and opened it, and saw a line of words like this: "Explanation on Non-Euclidean Geometry".

"Teacher, this is..." Gauss raised his eyes and looked at Joseph in surprise.

"Ah, it is a supplementary proof of your study. I proved your idea from the perspective of differential geometry, on a saddle-like hyperbolic surface. If my proof is fine, your new geometry and Euclidian geometry are equivalent under certain conditions. In addition, I think, I guess, from projection, there may be another interesting way to prove it. But I have to be busy with a lot of things, so the proof of this direction is left to you to complete. Well, the content here must be kept confidential, at least for now," said Joseph.

Gaus didn't speak, but just started to read the paper page by page. Joseph turned his head and said to the little Alice on the side: "Alice, come here, dad, come and teach you chess."

This is one of the most played games between Joseph and Alice. Alice likes to play this kind of game with Joseph. Of course, the result of her likes games with her father is that Joseph's current chess level has gone from being able to easily beat Lucien to being able to be beaten easily by Lucien.

"Okay." Alice ran over, "But this time I don't want you to let me have a car, a queen and a knight. I think you can win as long as you let me be a queen."

So Gauss sat aside to read the paper, and Joseph played chess with Little Alice. Little Alice was not careful and was led by Joseph's bishop and wanted to move the king, but found that if he moved the king, he would lose a car in vain. She became anxious. She pouted and pressed Joseph's Bishop Heg with her hand and said, "No, Dad, your bishop is not allowed to go like this...not to go like this."

"Well, Alice, I allow you to regret a move," said Joseph.

Little Alice looked at the chessboard carefully and said, "I regret two moves..."

Then the two of them got off for a while...

"No, I won't leave like this, I want to regret the chess..."

"I'm going to go here..."

So it took more than an hour and after regretting the chess many times, Alice finally defeated Joseph as she wished. The little guy jumped and jumped happily.

At this time, Gauss had read this short paper and even completed the relevant verification. At least for now, he has not found any loopholes.

He raised his eyes from the desk, so he saw Joseph surrendering to Alice, and said, "Teacher, I have finished reading this paper. It should be fine, at least I did not find any problem. With this proof, my new geometry seems to be true. Well, the teacher just said that you can consider it from the perspective of projection. Maybe there is another way to prove it?"

"What, what did you think of?" Joseph asked.

"Teacher, I had some ideas when I was reading this paper, but I haven't thought about it all yet." Gauss said.

Gauss' personality is just a bit too stable. He is not a sure thing. No matter how valuable it is, he always hides it, for fear of being seen by others. For example, in the original history, after Robachevsky deduced Roche's geometry, he once sent the paper to Gauss.

At that time, Gauss read it and praised it privately. He told people that all wise mathematicians would have similar opinions. Robachevsky's research and many of my research have many similarities.

However, in public, Gauss never commented on Roche's geometry. Although according to his discovery when people sorted out his manuscripts after his death, he even went earlier than Robachevsky in terms of non-European geometry and went further in many places, Gauss was too cautious and kept pressing these things under the box and not showing them to others.

But this time, Joseph would not let Gauss press these things under the box again.

"Well, then you can study it when you have time." Joseph nodded, "But the research results must be kept confidential. Especially the research on these two proofs must be kept confidential. When we return from this trip to Italy, I will publish your new geometry directly in the journal of the French Academy of Sciences. The guys from the High-level Parisian Master will definitely jump out to object. Let's let them perform first, and then use these two proofs to give them a hard time..."
