"It's not crying?" Sean was confused. It clearly sounded like a woman sobbing.
Dyson shook his finger: "No. Our human ears will interpret a cat's meow as a baby's cry. We can't even hear the cry of some marine creatures... The frequency band that our ears can hear is very narrow. , and often misinterpret the information we hear based on experience! Therefore, what we think we hear may not really be what it is!”
Sean frowned, feeling that Daisy had recommended the right person: "Then what is this sound?"
Dyson shrugged: "It may be a song, it may be a paragraph, I don't know yet, this has yet to be cracked!
"Put this record here with me. In about three days, I will be able to tell you what this sound is about!"
Sean nodded, feeling relieved that things were progressing.
Dyson put the record away and poured Sean a cup of tea. Sean remembered the story he had just heard Ronnie tell the little boy at the door, and combined with the idea that he had always had a part-time job writing press releases, he started talking to Raul: "Mr. Raul, I heard someone said that you are the He was the inventor of talking pictures.”
Dyson snorted exaggeratedly: "Everyone in Emerson Electric Company knows! Everyone in New Zealand knows! Only that stingy, ugly, disgusting thief is still deceiving himself!"
Sean's conversational skills developed during his career were unconsciously aroused: "I believe you must have suffered unfair treatment. However, if you want to protect your rights through the law, if you want to use public opinion tools to expose that Patent thief, then you need proof!"
Dyson nodded with great approval: "Yes, you are right! At the beginning, I was like a fool, he said whatever he said, and I didn't leave any evidence.
"However, if a fool is fooled for too long, he will learn to be wise one day! I felt that something was not quite right, so after I overcame the problem and made the movie picture have sound, I saved the original copy of the patent application , that is my handwriting and my signature!" Dyson looked a little proud, "That thief doesn't know yet, and he is still bragging that it is his company's invention! This time, I will ruin his reputation. of!"
Sean was a little excited: the inventor of talkies planned to sue Emerson! If there was evidence, this would be big news. If you can get this exclusive interview, you will get a good income.
Sean concealed his emotions well and calmly took a sip of tea: "In my opinion, if you want to win this legal action, you cannot do without the help of news and public opinion..."
After about half an hour of communication, Sean successfully gained Dyson's trust.
Dyson had considered before that he wanted to follow Emerson's example and take the initiative through public opinion. This time, "Mr. Sean Dickinson, a special correspondent for the Daily News" came to visit, which was exactly what he wanted.
So Sean started the interview immediately. After asking a few questions and Dyson said a lot, the inventor looked at Sean with some confusion: "Don't you need to take a note and write it down?"
Sean took a sip of tea, crossed his fingers comfortably, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, my memory is surprisingly good. I guarantee that every key sentence you said will appear intact in the newspaper..."
The interview lasted about two hours, and Dyson told Sean everything that happened that year.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Emerson would be such a person..." Sean has learned about the success model of this inventor king - he uses his reputation to attract and hire inventors, and then transfer their experience during his tenure to Patents are converted into corporate patents, with profits made from selling the patent and popularizing the invention.
If it weren't for the famous "Power System War", Emerson Electric Company would probably be the largest electrical company in New York, or even the world...
"That's the kind of person he is." After recalling the past, Dyson felt a little tired and sentimental. He drooped his eyelids, "It's my fault that I didn't see it before..."
Regarding the legendary "invention genius" Tesler, Sean intuitively had news to dig out about him. However, Dyson and he were not colleagues, and the two were not familiar with each other, so Sean did not get any information about Tesler during this interview.
"Mr. Raul, I will write the press release of this interview in the next few days - you should be able to see it in the newspaper soon." Sean put on his coat and hat, "Believe me, justice Peace and justice will surely come.”
After a long chat, the two felt like they had become friends and shook hands when they parted.
Sean remembered Catherine's previous instructions - in-depth study of media may trigger weird and out-of-control events, so he asked Dyson not to listen to the contents alone after cracking the secret of the record. If anything weird happens, terminate the study immediately.
Dyson had also heard many weird stories and knew about the existence of the secret exploration industry, so he did not ignore Sean's warning. He jokingly took out the diamond-shaped frame hanging on his chest: "Don't worry, I am a devout believer in this parish." , even if I pass by the cemetery alone, those lonely ghosts will not dare to do anything to me - Holy Father Keen will bless me!"
"This is the benefit of being a believer. With the blessing of the gods, you won't be stabbed half to death by the evil spirit's umbrella..." Sean looked at Dyson's thick diamond frame with envy, and began to think about choosing faith again.
Leaving Dyson Lauer's laboratory, Sean got on the tram and headed to the "Daily News" newspaper office.
On the trolley, he had already begun to compile in his mind the news that Mr. Lauer was about to sue Emerson.
After his memory was strengthened, Sean had many strange and indescribable feelings. Writing in your head is one of them.
With paper and ink in his mind, he can draft a press release with precise wording, beautiful sentences and neat format at an astonishing speed...
After this interview script was fully formed in his mind, Sean, who was sitting on the tram, had this question in his mind: "Why do symbols strengthen my memory? Or it can be said that why symbols strengthen the soul, so much in memory." The improvement is so obvious?"
Sean couldn't help but think of his own feeling of being able to identify lies in an instant...
Super strong verbal memory, the ability to easily lead topics and persuade others, the intuition to distinguish the truth from falsehood just through the tone of voice...
Sean sat up straight, and he suddenly realized: these are "functions"! It is his professional ability as a "journalist"!
"The candlestick symbol didn't just strengthen my memory." Sean looked at the street scene outside the car window, his thoughts racing. "It should be said that the candlestick symbol activated my soul and awakened my functions in advance!"
Sean knows that when the soul is strong enough, the "function" will awaken. Those abilities that are slightly stronger than ordinary people displayed at work will become extremely powerful after their functions are awakened.
Actors can transform into a certain character in a short period of time through "acting skills"; detectives will have observation and reasoning abilities that are far beyond ordinary people; even if they are just a car salesman in life, after awakening to their functions, they will have speaking skills that are enough to charm people. …
This is the power of "function".
Until now, Sean has only seen one "function", which is the "actor" function of the artist lineage that Catherine has.
"What are the specific functions of a reporter?" Sean continued to think, "Super memory, conversation induction, lie detection, news smell?"
"That's all we've discovered now. If there are other effects, we can only discover them slowly.
"Catherine said that functions will gradually evolve. I am just a standard reporter function now.
“As the understanding of the profession becomes deeper and deeper, and the professional skills are repeatedly honed, the functions will gradually improve.
"I wonder what kind of abilities I will gain after my function is improved?"
