Wei Jichen pondered for a moment. Regardless of whether Tesla's other legends were true or not, it was undeniable that his achievements in radio technology and alternating current technology were beyond the reach of other scientists of this era.
? Then let him serve himself in the field of radio and alternating current.
"Mr. Tesla, as far as I know, you built the Niagara Hydropower Station for the Americans last year, using AC generator and AC power transmission technology. I am very interested in this and would like to ask Mr. Tesla to also build it for us in China. Design several hydropower stations and use alternating current technology." Wei Jichen said slowly and calmly.
There is a small thermal power plant in the capital that supplies power to the Forbidden City area. It uses Edison's DC power. DC power has a large loss in the circuit. To use DC power, a generator set must be built every one kilometer to transport power over long distances. Direct current technology is simply not possible.
This is why AC technology will soon replace DC technology.
Tesla looked at Wei Jichen in surprise, then shook his head and refused: "This is too simple for me. I have done it once and lost the enthusiasm to repeat it. Now I am studying wireless power transmission."
If Wei Jichen had not come from later generations, he would have thought that he was talking nonsense. How could it be possible to transmit power without wires? But in fact, a hundred years later, the cutting-edge technology of MIT students used resonant induction to transmit wireless power three meters across the air. A 60-watt light bulb came on.
However, Wei Jichen really just wants a few hydropower stations now. Even if he buys a power station from the system, he still has to choose an address and do other survey work.
At present, China does not have such talents.
"We are happy to help you realize your grand plan, but we would be very grateful if you could spare a little spare time to design several power stations similar to the Nyala Hydropower Station for us." Wei Jichen said helplessly: " China is still a backward country, so!"
Tesla rubbed his messy hair, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed: "Give me a week to complete it, and then I hope you can help me build a wireless power transmission tower."
"No problem!" Wei Jichen agreed immediately, but if he knew how much Tesla spent on this tower, would he still agree so readily?
After meeting the scientific madman Tesla, Wei Jichen went to see the two Wright brothers who were on hunger strike and the submarine researcher Holland. China's submarines were relatively advanced. After seeing these submarines, Holland did not hesitate at all. Join in and learn with an open mind.
Only the Wright brothers are more difficult to deal with, but Wei Jichen believes that they will eventually succumb after being hungry for a few days.

On the Korean battlefield, China has assembled an advance army of 100,000 people. Of course, this army does not include the 200,000 North Korean troops and a huge logistics supply team.
Yuan Shikai is a character. Although there are trains from the three northeastern provinces to Pyongyang, which can make logistics transportation faster, there are no trains in other parts of North Korea.
In order to almost send food, grass and arms to the front line, Yuan Shikai organized at least 500,000 ordinary Korean people to help. Without strong organizational skills, it was impossible to do this. Moreover, Yuan Shikai began to select some abilities among these people. Those who are more prominent should be trained as pro-China faction.
On the Japanese side, due to the constant attacks by China's submarine detachment and the strong deterrent power of the Beiyang Fleet, it does not dare to transport too many troops from the country to North Korea. Otherwise, if it is attacked, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
If the Japanese want to make a difference, they must gain control of the sea. Otherwise, Japan will be like a fish trapped in shallow water, slowly drying up and dying.
About 20 kilometers away from Daegu City, the Chinese army has pushed the front to this area.
In the pre-war headquarters, the officers and soldiers of the three armies were holding a combat meeting. The commander-in-chief of the front line was Nie Shicheng, including generals such as Ma Jinxu, Wang Yingkai, Hu Zi, Wang Shizhen, Xu Fei, Feng Guozhang, and Cao Kun.
"Everyone, the artillery battalions have been assembled. This time, we have gathered a total of 486 artillery pieces. They will be used in clusters to cover the main assault force and launch fierce artillery bombardments on enemy positions. The combat areas and tasks of each auxiliary town have also been properly arranged. We I hope you will perform well tomorrow and annihilate all the Japanese forces in Korea in one fell swoop." Nie Shicheng stood at the front and pointed at the battle map.
When the Japanese retreat here, there is no way to retreat. If they retreat further, they will reach Busan, and then they will be driven into the sea.
Under the current situation that the Japanese have not gained control of the sea, the Japanese have to gather all their forces in Korea to the Daegu area and build more than ten kilometers.The defensive fortifications in the area are long, and a big battle with the Chinese side will be held here.
Of course, Japan¡¯s power in North Korea is incomparable to China¡¯s. It has only about a hundred large and small artillery pieces and a military strength of just over 30,000 people. In addition, there are more than 100,000 North Korean puppet troops.
Nie Shicheng wanted to have a big battle with Japan. He waited until the artillery battalions from the Northeast Military Region and Beijing Military Region arrived before deciding to launch an attack.
The Chinese artillery battalion basically followed the German organization. Each artillery battalion has 18 artillery pieces and 486 artillery pieces. There are 27 artillery battalions with almost 15,000 artillery troops. It can be said to be huge.
In addition, the infantry also carries a large number of grenade launchers, which can be used as small grenade launchers when attacking.
It can be said that tomorrow's artillery battle will be the most intense since the advent of artillery. It's not that other countries don't have so many artillery, but they have never used them so intensively.
Everyone could not hide the excitement on their faces. Wang Yingkai smiled and said: "Shuai Nie, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I want to annihilate the Korean Japanese army as soon as possible and cross the sea to attack the Japanese homeland as soon as possible."
"Yes, conquering North Korea will not make the Japanese feel the pain. Only by attacking Kyoto can we destroy the root cause." Huzi said ambitiously.
"Okay, everyone, go down and prepare. We will launch a general attack at dawn." Nie Shicheng waved his hand and said with a smile.
Everyone stood up at the same time with excitement on their faces. After bowing, they turned around and left happily.
The artillery position was chosen on Highland No. 1, which could cover the enemy's frontline fortifications and even bombard most of Daqiu City. These artillery positions were covered with branches during the day to avoid being observed by the Japanese.
Following Nie Shicheng's order, the coverings on these cannons were removed. The cannons were arranged in an orderly manner, not in a row. The shells were neatly piled aside one by one. Anyone who saw such a huge artillery position would They would all be so excited that they would forget everything. Even the artillerymen were no exception. They only felt their hearts surging and even walking felt very energetic.
This is the situation in the artillery position, while the infantry on the entire front are moving quietly, trying not to make loud noises. The entire 15-kilometer front is full of soldiers gearing up.
On the left is Ma Jinxu¡¯s Beijing Military Region Corps, on the right is Cao Kun¡¯s Jinan Military Region Corps, and in the middle is the Northeastern Army of Wang Shizhen, Hu Zi and others.
The Northeastern Army has the largest number of people attacking, and it is the main direction of attack. They are supported by artillery. When they break into the enemy's position, they will move forward to outflank the left and right wings, thereby encircling and annihilating all the Japanese troops together with the left and right wing armies.
In terms of grand strategy, it is to divide and surround the Japanese army on this front of more than ten kilometers and annihilate them one by one. In terms of small tactics, it is to use artillery to cooperate with elite troops to conduct assault operations and tear apart the enemy's defense line in the shortest possible time.
Xu Fei's airship unit, in this battle, first acted as a guide, indicating the direction of the artillery bombardment, and then acted as a bomber.
At the airship troop station, teams of soldiers are carrying barrels of oil into the airship cabin. The oil will be dumped on the enemy positions, and then bombs will be dropped from the airship to ignite the oil. This will provide The artillerymen pointed out the location of the bombardment. In fact, just throwing bombs could achieve this effect. Xu Fei ordered this just to be sure.
The entire front was busy, and the Japanese seemed to be aware of something. They also strengthened their defense. Both the puppet troops and the Japanese soldiers were lying in the trenches, not daring to slack off.
"It's almost dawn!" Nie Shicheng stood at the door of the headquarters with a faint smile on his face.
"It's almost dawn!" Wang Shizhen raised her head and looked at the slightly white east.
"It's time!" Ma Jinxu turned his head and waited for the sound of the telegraph operator running.
"Last inspection!" the commander shouted loudly from the artillery position.
At the same time, the soldiers on the entire front raised their heads and looked at the distant sky. They unanimously shook the rifles in their hands and raised their ears, waiting for the sharp sound of the cannonballs to be heard from their heads. Come.
When the sky turned slightly white, the airship troops were the first to take off. They were the first troops to go.
As for airships, the Japanese cannot afford to fight them, so they can only try their best to avoid them.
The Japanese built a large number of air-raid shelters in the trench fortifications. The accuracy of the airship was not accurate. After the Japanese hid in the air-raid shelter, most of the bombs dropped from the airship missed their destination.
Airships are most suitable for attacking fixed and large targets. Unfortunately, the Japanese have learned the lesson and built their arsenals and other arsenals to look similar to private houses, and made more minor repairs underground.Repair and minimize losses.
Twelve airships pierced the sky, making a huge roar. As soon as the Japanese observers heard the sound, they raised their heads and looked up, and then various orders to evade were sounded.
After a while, there was no one outside the trenches in this area, and all the soldiers were like mice, getting into the air-raid shelters.
The Japanese commander, Major General Umezawa Michiji, was hiding in the air-raid shelter, waiting calmly for the explosions outside. He felt that his fortifications here had been done to the extreme.
These air-raid shelters are all dug 8 meters deep underground. Even the Chinese defenses are probably nothing more than this, Umezawa Michiji thought with some satisfaction, and the first two airship bombings also proved this kind of fortifications. It's solid and reliable, so he doesn't worry at all.
