"How... How is that possible?" Coulomb exclaimed, "Wouldn't that allow us to recreate lightning in the laboratory?"
In his understanding, only lightning in the world constitutes a continuous current, while all man-made creations are merely static electricity.
And just now, the Crown Prince actually informed him to design something called "battery" that could provide continuous current.
"You may regard it as a faint lightning. In fact, being controllable and measurable is going to be our future focus."
Coulomb could no longer restrain himself, bowed, and then headed towards the door: "Your Highness, I must go to the laboratory now..."
