New Warlords 1909

"This general. I don't know which of my inventions you are interested in? Hua Fei has such energy and money. Hire me from the United States...?"

please?Hua Fei didn't have specific information yet.I was slightly startled in my heart.Quick recall in mind.For Nicola Terras.He just heard some legends.For the deeds of his life.I really don't know much.Hua Fei only knew.This Mr. Slah.Not only a legendary scientist.He is also an inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer.And his legend is very mysterious.Some of his scientific theories and experiments.It is still being studied until a hundred years later.No one cracked it.

This scientist who was once attacked by scientific giants such as Einstein.This is because of the invention of alternating current.Could have been the richest man in the world.Ended up being in debt.down and out.Die alone at home.

Hua Fei's eyes lit up.Immediately passionate Tao. "Alternating current. The invention I admire most is alternating current. If the invention of generators and electric motors has brought mankind into the electrical age, then I am cautious about it. I think it is because of your alternating current. The large-scale. Long-distance electric current transmission is possible. Only then can human beings enter the real electrical age."

"And your Excellency gave up the patent right of alternating current. It is free for people to use. This kind of noble behavior is probably unmatched by any scientist in history! So I say that Mr. Truss is the greatest scientist in the second century. Still There are elements that belittle you. You should be the greatest scientist in the history of mankind."

Although Hua Fei is just a mercenary, some popular knowledge of physics in later generations][+ this era is indeed a shocking magical prophecy that has never appeared before.So when Hua Fei inadvertently mentioned the theory of neutrons, antimatter, dark matter, and superconductivity, it immediately attracted all the attention of this great scientist.

We must know that when he was studying alternating current, Tesla had vigorously studied a kind of wireless transmission current experiment, and produced the world-famous Tesla coil.The first time Hua Fei heard about Tesla was precisely because of this wireless transmission legend.The success of this technology can save the cost and loss of cable transmission power, and its economy and value can be imagined.

It's just that all experiments and researches fell silent later, becoming a confusing puzzle.Among the many speculations, the biggest possibility is that the boosted electricity has reached lightning-like energy, which is of course difficult to control.The legendary Tunguska explosion in Russia is even related to this kind of experiment.

Judging by Tesla's reaction, could it be that he discovered that this technology could not only realize the possibility of wireless transmission, but also an extremely powerful weapon that could eventually destroy the world, so he gave up the experiment and destroyed the existing experiments? data?

Although this is just a guess, when Hua Fei saw that Tesla was so interested in superconducting technology, he couldn't help but wonder.It's just that his physical knowledge is not comparable to that of a great scientist like Tesla.If you say more, you will definitely be confused.Lu Zhuohuafei was not afraid, but what he was afraid of was that he said something wrong, leading such a great scientist astray in a research, that would be death without redemption.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at Tesla's blueprint on the table, Hua Fei was startled, stood up and asked, "Is this an engine? A turbine engine?"

Tesla seemed very calm when he reacted to this strange Chinese general, because at this time, Hua Fei also became very mysterious to him.In particular, the anti-matter and dark-matter ideas he put forward gave this master of science a lot of inspiration, and now he is a little bit hard to control himself.

"This is a bladeless turbine engine!"

"Dear Mr. Tesla, do you think our country's industrial level can make this kind of engine?" Hua Fei asked eagerly.

"This kind of engine is only under test at present. I don't know the industrial strength of your country, but even if the experiment is successful, it is difficult to carry out industrial production in the United States, Germany and other countries! You know, I am not interested in industrial production !"

Hua Fei nodded, generally these scientists are only interested in their research.Some studies and theories.It may even take many years to be verified.It is a conventional truth that scientific theoretical research always far exceeds the actual level of productivity.Virtue cannot be produced, let alone China's fledgling heavy industry.

Tesla seems to feel that Hua Fei attaches great importance to the engine.However, he is not a good talker.Otherwise, it would not be suppressed by Edison and others in the United States.Can't stand up for decades.

"Thank you very much Mr. Hua for helping me. I accept your one-year employment. During this year. I don't know what kind of work Mr. Hua needs me to do?"

a year?Although I don't know how Huang Yan persuaded Tesla.But the current situation obviously couldn't be better for Hua Fei.After all, Tesla came here voluntarily.And willing to work for him.Even if only for one year.That is also a great opportunity for Hua Fei.As for a year later.There will be a way.

"Dear Mr. Tesla. Thank you very much for helping me solve some problems! I wonder if Mr. Huang Yan was in the United States. Did he talk about your treatment and work?" Hua Fei asked tentatively.

"That's not true. Viscount Huang Yan said. In China. Everything is up to you, General!" Speaking of Huang Yan.Tesla even smiled.This surprised Hua Fei.

"That's it. We will build a special laboratory for Mr. Tesla. Mr. Tesla needs anything. Just make a list. We will definitely arrange it as soon as possible. In addition, we will hire Mr. Tesla as the number one of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. As the dean. The monthly salary is [-] Singapore dollars. The total is [-] US dollars.” ([-] US dollars is about [-] US dollars today)

"Five thousand dollars?" No matter how calm Tesla was, he couldn't help being taken aback by the salary.

You must know that when he was working at Edison Company, he improved the motor and generator for Edison, and Edison only promised him [-] US dollars, but in the end he was still an 'American humor'.

Later, he asked for a weekly salary of $25 but was rejected, which dealt a blow to Tesla's self-esteem and resigned angrily.But when he came to this distant oriental country, he couldn't help being respected unprecedentedly by this mysterious general, and even offered him a sky-high monthly salary of [-] U.S. dollars!

"Dear General, are you sure that the [-] Singapore dollars in your country are worth [-] U.S. dollars? And it's still a monthly salary?" Tesla said cautiously. He wondered if his hallucinations just happened again.

"Oh, I know, for Mr. Tesla's great achievements and contributions, this salary is really insignificant. If you are not satisfied, sir, I will propose a special salary increase for you at the meeting of the Academy of Sciences. As for sir, you are worried about the currency In terms of value, we can definitely pay the same value in US dollars, British pounds, or even gold and silver!" The salary of the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is personally determined by Hua Fei, which is [-] Singapore dollars.Hua Fei knew that this salary was considered a super high salary in the world at that time.Except for scientists who get patents and sell patents, no one can get such a high salary.

"Oh, no, no, no, no." Tesla said again and again, even though he knew nothing about human relations, he understood that it would be impolite not to accept the currency of the other country. "Thank you very much, Your Majesty General, for your trust. I can accept payment in your country's currency. I don't have much demand for salary, and Viscount Huang Yan also helped me pay off my debts in the United States, but Viscount Huang Yan's money , I will definitely return it!"

"I hope that Your Excellency the General will allow me to do some research of my own while I am working. In addition, if you have any orders from Your Excellency General, please tell me now, so that I can make plans!"

Seeing that Tesla finally agreed, Hua Fei breathed a sigh of relief.In his mind, giving Tesla a super high salary is not only to keep Tesla, but also to show the world that he attaches great importance to scientific talents, which is also an act of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars.There are many down-and-out scientists in this world. Although high salary is not the only factor that attracts them, it is definitely an important condition.

"In this case, I will be blunt. We are going to build a [-]-kilowatt thermal power station in the suburbs of Shanghai. Mr. Tesla is a famous

Home, I hope that Mr. will give technical guidance at that time, so that our T3 can be built faster and better! "

"That's no problem!" Tesla thought that it would not take much time at all, and immediately agreed, "Send me the blueprint of the power station, and I will send my proposal to Your Excellency the General within three days!"

three days?This efficiency is terrifying!

Hua Fei quietly wiped his sweat. Nikola Tesla was not only a great physicist, but also an inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer.If such a super technical talent is not quickly utilized to solve some of his problems, it would be a waste of money.After thinking for a while, Hua Fei continued, "We need your assistance in radio equipment. I want to make a radio equipment that can be installed on an airplane. It should be compact and can use the smallest power to transmit signals farther. .Of course, the matching generator on the plane also needs your help, sir!"

"In addition, there is a need for a radio device installed on the submarine. It is best to use it in a submerged state. The biggest requirement is the transmission distance. The farther the better, but the volume should not be too large. After all, the size of the submarine and the power supply are limited! "

Tesla quickly replied, "The radio equipment used by submarines is not a big problem. I can design a small radio equipment of 06~08 watts within a week, so that the transmission distance can reach [-] to [-] kilometers. But on the plane The radio equipment may be troublesome, please send me the design drawings of the aircraft, and I will study it carefully before deciding on a solution. As for the time, I can’t give you an answer for the time being! Is this okay?”

"No problem, no problem!" Hua Fei was overjoyed. This big problem that troubled him could finally be solved. Although there is no result yet, Hua Fei believes that in the eyes of this great scientist who is one of the ancestors of radio, it should be drizzle. .

"This problem is still related to the aircraft. We have designed an all-metal aircraft, including several aircraft we are currently developing, but we all face a big problem, that is, the engine power is insufficient! So I saw your turbine engine sketch just now, sir. It will be so exciting! I wonder if Mr. Tesla can give me a little help?"

During this period, Tesla turned most of his energy to mechanical design.Maybe he started to be pragmatic, maybe some other reasons I don't know.Therefore, several job requirements put forward by Hua Fei are very much in line with Tesla's interest.

"This is not a problem. I have several sets of engine sketches here, and your engineers can use them for research. The difficulty of making a bladeless turbine engine may be a problem. I will try to design a propeller turbine engine to solve your problem. The power problem of the all-metal aircraft!"

If he hadn't just met Tesla, Hua Fei really wanted to rush up and kiss this old man in his 50s.Hua Fei dare not say anything else, but these three requirements are definitely a piece of cake for Nikola Tesla.But for Hua Fei, it was the biggest technical obstacle that troubled him.

"What? No more? These are just three simple jobs?" Tesla couldn't believe his ears. Hua Fei paid a high monthly salary of [-] SGD, so the workload certainly couldn't be too low.

Tesla had long been mentally prepared for this, but he never dreamed that Hua Fei's proposed job included only three things that were easy for him.

For Tesla, the three jobs are too few, but for Hua Fei, it seems to be a lot.Using a great scientist as a mechanic, I wonder if people in future generations will blame him for wasting talents!

"Mr. Tesla, you can continue your scientific research for the rest of the time. If you don't mind, I would like to send a few apprentices as assistants to you! If you can get your guidance, they and I will be very grateful! If there is any other help, I will personally visit you sir!"

Tesla was not sociable at all, although he always felt a little bad with such a high salary, but he couldn't refuse Hua Fei's kindness.I had no choice but to promise silently in my heart that I would do my best to do these three things well for this kind Chinese general!

Leaving Tesla's room, Hua Fei was so happy that he almost jumped up.Even if Huang Yan and the others are sent out, even if a task is not completed, just inviting back a great scientist like Nikola Tesla is completely worth it.Due to Tesla being squeezed out in the United States, coupled with the weak awareness of the blockade of science and other technical fields in this era, Huang Yan's actions went very smoothly.There are not even any obstacles and obstacles to poaching such a big scientist.In later generations, a great scientist like Tesla would be a national treasure, and trying to find him would be like a fool's dream!

In particular, Tesla also accepted the assistants sent by Hua Fei, which means that these assistants have a powerful mentor.Under the influence of ears and eyes, and through Tesla's guidance, Huafei's talent training and reserve plan will be greatly accelerated.

More than a dozen foreigners stood on the deck, all looking at Hua Fei.Seeing the look in Hua Fei's eyes, they all took off their hats and saluted.Hua Fei knew that these people were scientific researchers or engineers dug by Huang Yan from the United States. Although the names on the list were relatively unfamiliar, Hua Fei was already unfamiliar with the field of science. It can be done by two great scientists.

Even if these people are of mediocre level, they have at least received systematic Western scientific education and training, and they are more than enough to be university teachers here.

After ordering his entourage to help Tesla pack his luggage and escort him off the ship, Hua Fei greeted them, saluting and shaking hands.Most of these people are young people, some of them even just graduated from school, because of all kinds of difficulties and Huang Yan's temptation, they set foot on the ship bound for the east one after another.

"Your Excellency, Viscount Huang Yan said that you will provide us with generous rewards. If we make great achievements, you will also award us titles. I wonder if it is true?" A man in his 20s, with yellow hair and blue eyes The young man asked very bluntly.

At first, I didn't understand when Huang Yan got the title of Viscount, but now Hua Fei suddenly realized.The title of knighthood is very tempting to Westerners, especially in this period.He is not only a symbol of wealth, but more importantly, a symbol of status and reputation.

In a sense, without a title, you're never upper class.For these scientists, the purpose of most of them to study science at the beginning is to earn money and gain higher honor and social status.

"Oh, that's right. I will pay you far more than your country's according to your work! As for the title, as long as you do it for us

Contribute, we will award you the honorable title of the ancient Eastern Empire

Although there were knight titles in Chinese history, the rule of imperial power has become history, so there are no damn titles.But if you can fool it, let's fool it for now.As long as they can stay, the rest will be taken care of slowly.

"What are you good at, and what are you willing to do? You can submit a brief introduction to my adjutant. Then I will pay you and sign a contract, how about it?"
