1855 United States Tycoon

In a blink of an eye, a year passed. Today's Duck Castle is divided into two parts on the central axis. Dorothea lives in the east, and Carol and Catherine live in the west. In order not to show the strangeness, let the people next to you see something-although in principle, the people working in the duck castle are selected reliable people, and they have also received some training in confidentiality, but the basics of confidentiality The principle is that the fewer people who know, the better. Because very often, important secrets are not revealed deliberately, but exposed from unintentional words and deeds. If Dorothea and Carol are arguing outside to go to court, but in the Duck Castle, but they are still friendly, then all the staff in the Duck Castle will find that something is wrong. Therefore, in the Duck Castle, Dorothea and Carol also put on a posture of looking at each other not pleasing to the eye. Although they both live in the same castle, they are connected to each other except during secret meetings. Say nothing.

This "tension" relationship even affects the next generation. Dena recorded this period in her own memoirs.

"My Uncle Scrooge has fallen into a long-term coma. To this day, I am not completely sure whether Scrooge Uncle really fell into a'deep coma', although all the details in my life are telling me. It shows that Scrooge Uncle is indeed in a coma and will never be able to wake up. But from the various actions of the family during the period that I later learned about, and then bring "malicious", or bring the brain to guess, I’m more inclined to believe that my Uncle is not “unconscious” at all. It’s just that he did it to lure his enemies into tricks. In fact, it’s not difficult to perform a trick. My whole family, including me, is very early After learning more about various acting methods, we were even able to sneer in our hearts while tears were grateful for own's performance.

But anything, as long as persistence is required, is extremely difficult. It is not difficult for a person to tell lies and deceive others. What is difficult is to tell lies for a long time or even a lifetime. Because you must remember any lies that you have said, and always pay attention to whether what you have said contradicts the previous lies. So later, when my Little Brothers and I grew up to the point when Scrooge Uncle thought we could face the ‘truth of the world’, he once taught us the technique of lying:

The highest technique is to mislead others with the truth and some hints. Of course this is difficult, and it cannot be done all the time. Therefore, it is also necessary to lie directly. One of the most important principles at this time is to lie only in the most critical and necessary places. This will make it easier for you to remember the lies you have told.

But even with such skills, it is still quite difficult to deceive people. And to pretend to have been in a coma for more than a year, to deceive even a professional liar like Morgan to believe it is true, I have to say that my Uncle is simply not a normal human being. No wonder he can always control the power of the family. In the days that followed, I never saw anyone as insidious and terrible as him. Compared with my Uncle, the Russian tsar, or the Provisional Government, and later Denikin, the Kolchak gang are ridiculously stupid.

If his coma is indeed a conspiracy—my brain supports this view so much, then the conspiracy can be realized without my parents and aunt Dorothea as well as good actors. I dare say that any of the actors in later movies are inferior to them. The performance between them really made me think they fell out. Even when Aunt Dorothea saw me and Donald, she looked cold and ignored us. Sometimes when she spoke, the voice was so cold that it could freeze people into ice. And my parents also looked like this when facing Greystone.This change even affects the relationship between us (me, Donald, Greystone). Donald and I isolate Greystone together and don't play with him. So for a long time, our relationship with Grey Stone was not good..."

During this period of time, the Macdonald Consortium’s wealth disposal lawsuits were held several times, and the case was complicated and confusing. The lawyers on both sides instigated three-inch tongues to attack each other, which was even more lively than a big drama. But the result is not immediately available. Public opinion generally believes that this lawsuit may have to continue for a year or two before a preliminary result can be obtained. At this time, the two new manufacturing plants of "General Motors" were basically completed, and the production lines also began trial operation.

...

Maxwell dislikes the Macdonalds very much now. He feels that they are completely in the eyes of the money (of course, this is not a slander). When Scrooge fell into a coma, they worked to divide the family property. Activities. He even said to his own wife more than once, "Why did Scrooge find such a wife?" And recently, people from Cambridge University began to contact him again, hoping that he could return to Cambridge. Maxwell was also very moved about this. It's just that some of his research is at a critical time, so he can only politely decline Cambridge's invitation.

This morning, after breakfast, Mr. Maxwell was about to go to class. But saw a group of cars parked in front of his house. Dorothea got out of the car and walked towards Mr. Maxwell with a smile on her face.

"Mrs. MacDonald, why did you come to me when you are free?" Although Maxwell remained polite, he deliberately pronounced the word "McDonald" extra hard. It seems to be reminding Dorothea that you are Mr. Macdonald’s wife. Have you fulfilled your wife’s duties?

But apparently, Dorothea didn’t understand this at all. She shouted at Mr. Maxwell excitedly: “Mr. Maxwell, thank you, thank you, his fingers are moving! The doctor said, this may mean He is about to wake up!"

"Really?" Hearing the news, Maxwell immediately threw his dissatisfaction with Dorothea out of the sky, and quickly asked: "This is true? Mrs. MacDonald, this is great. I can sit on you. Go to the hospital to see Mr. MacDonald?"

"Of course, of course. In fact, I came to you specifically, I hope you can go to the hospital and work hard with us to see if you can wake him up. Thank you, Mr. Maxwell, Scrooge is listening to those papers. At that time, my fingers started to move."

"That's great! Let's go right away!" Mr. Maxwell stopped abruptly, and then said: "Mrs. Macdonald, can you turn your car from the laboratory first? I have an article about half of it. The stuff is there, Mr. MacDonald might be interested. In addition, I have another class this morning, and I want to ask Nicola to replace it for me."

Nikolai is Maxwell's assistant, a young man from Serbia. Maxwell's evaluation of him is: "Very smart, very capable, a wizard second only to Scrooge. But like Scrooge, his interests are too broad."

"Of course there is no problem," Dorothea replied.

Mr. Maxwell hurriedly greeted his wife, and got in the latest white "Silver Elf" bulletproof car built by Volkswagen for the rich and drove towards the big laboratory...

...

"Scrooge, do you know? I was in a big trouble recently." Maxwell said while sitting on Scrooge's bedside. And beside him, Dorothea, as well as the Carol couple who had already "turned their faces" and "become enemies" with Dorothea, stared nervously at the quietly lying on the bed. Scrooge.

"A while ago, when studying the relationship between radiation intensity and radiation frequency in large laboratories, a lot of data was obtained. This is very useful when developing lighting equipment. You naturally know that. It's just a pure experiment. The way to find the corresponding points in the data is really inconvenient. So, we tried to push a formula from it. As a result, we were in big trouble. Because the formula we got was shorter in radiation wavelength. It was normal at the time, but..."

"Look, look! His hands are moving!" Dorothea screamed in "surprise" loudly.

Maxwell stopped quickly and looked at Scrooge's hand. Really, Scrooge's hand was really moving.

"Scrooge, Scrooge, can you hear me talking to you?" Maxwell said loudly, really excited.

The relatives nearby also hurriedly came up, yelling Scrooge's name loudly. Finally, Scrooge's eyebrows wrinkled, as if trying to break free from something, and then, his eyes opened.

"Thank God!" Maxwell yelled, although as a physicist he didn't necessarily believe in God or anything.

"Mr. McCawswee." Scrooge said very hard, his words were not clear, and some pronunciation was obviously problematic. But this does not hinder everyone's joy.

"And me, and Carol!" Dorothea shouted.

"Doresia, Karel." Scrooge seemed to have difficulty speaking. And Dorothea turned her gaze to Doctor Menger and Doctor Heim who were on the side.

"Madam, don't worry, this is just a small problem caused by the long-term lack of proper muscle exercise. It will not take long to recover." Dr. Menger replied with a smile.

"His intelligence will not be affected." Carol asked.

"Usually not. But the patient has just woke up and needs a good rest. Re-familiarize yourself with the own body. In a few hours, you will be able to make a math problem for Mr. MacDonald." Dr. Haim also Replied.
