Gudong. When Wang Xueqian started to talk politely, he realized that the audience didn't seem so enthusiastic. This kind of embarrassment has never happened before since he took up a high position. "Mr. Nicholas." "Ohoh" Only then did the old man on the opposite side react, and once again returned to his image of a master, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face, without the slightest hint of flattery. . This made Wang Xueqian not know what to say, and sighed in his heart: This guy has a special character! Chen Builei, however, covered his head with despair on his face. He felt that Wang Xueqian's aura had suddenly dimmed a lot. The humiliation of his master's humiliation and death made him unable to accept the fact that Wang Xueqian, who had always been extremely wise, would be betrayed by an old American liar. Playing around. Did he see it wrong, or did Wang Xueqian fall into the other party's trap? On the contrary, Wang Xueqian saw it, and the old man's greed was aroused. He suddenly felt speechless. When the other party was talking to a big shot like him, his mind suddenly flew to a plate of pretentious pastries on the coffee table. It was obvious. His ability to deal with people is indeed a bit low. I guess this is also the result of the fact that although the old man¡¯s brains are very useful, he doesn¡¯t have the support of big people in the United States. Wang Xueqian smiled and said: "I almost forgot, it's time for afternoon tea." "Is this habit also found in the Republic of China?" Nicholas asked flatteringly. "Of course!" Wang Xueqian said as if it was exactly the same, and even winked at Chen Brai to ask him to cooperate. However, the other party made a request that Chen Brai felt was very excessive: "Is there hot cocoa?" "German-style afternoon tea?" "Yes, it is German-style." The old man followed the attendant and left the guest room with satisfaction. Follow and make it at the table in the courtyard. He behaves in a very dignified manner, and looks like he is well-educated anyway. After the people left, Chen Brai reminded Wang Xueqian: "Sir, could there be a mistake? This old man does not seem to be a capable person." "You mean Mr. Nikola Tesla?" Wang Xueqian just felt that This skinny old man seemed a bit childish. Of course, people with ability and personality are allowed. Even having no character would make people feel incredible. Wang Xueqian felt that Nikola Tesla acted haphazardly, and such a person was much easier to deal with than those who were deep and sophisticated. Chen Brei was stunned. He thought that Wang Xueqian was deceived by hearsay and went out to welcome him in person. From the connotation of Wang Xueqian's words, it seemed that Wang Xueqian had already known about Nikola Tesla? "Sir, have you ever heard of this person?" "He was once famous in the United States." Wang Xueqian closed his eyes and felt incredible. Tesla's achievements can definitely be described as a monster. A penniless poor boy went to college with a scholarship from a charity society, but he had to drop out of school after only two years due to lack of funds. I felt trapped and confused after that, but it was only for a short period of time. ¡°I was employed by Edison¡¯s company in Europe and made some achievements on the road of invention and creation. Then I went to the United States and became a low-level engineer in the laboratory of Edison, the King of Inventions. Facts have proved that gold will never be buried. Nikola Tesla is such a person. In the Edison Laboratory, he quickly had several inventions that allowed him to gain recognition from mainstream society in the United States. Afterwards, Nikola Tesla, who had accumulated some funds, thought of developing independently and creating his own laboratory. In the following years, the number of patents he owned was once comparable to that of Edison. Even Edison, who was known as the King of Inventions, was afraid of such a rising genius. ¡°What really made Nikola Tesla famous was the ¡®War on Current¡¯, where he defeated Edison with facts and popularized direct current as industrial and civilian electricity. And both of them have become the most favorable contenders for the Nobel Prize in Physics. As the founder of the electrical age, Nikola Tesla had all the opportunities to become a top rich man, but it has to be said that in Edison¡¯s eyes Tesla was a wild wolf from the Balkans, and in Edison¡¯s eyes, Tesla was a wild wolf from the Balkans. In Tesla's eyes, Edison was a wolfdog. The war between the two sides started in Vanity Fair. Wild wolves fight wolf dogs. According to the usual plot, Nikola Tesla, the lone wolf, will definitely win, while Edison will become the ultimate loser. What people didn¡¯t expect was that Edison was the ultimate winner, while Tesla became a complete loser. Someone seems to have overlooked an important factor here. No matter how powerful a lone wolf is, he is still alone, while a wolf dog usually has an overbearing owner, who holds a shotgun in his hand. The big boss behind Edison is Morgan FinanceGroup, the most powerful financial group in the United States. No one can challenge the majesty of the Morgan consortium and achieve sufficient success in the United States. Even for top-notch talents, the war between Nikola Tesla and Edison seems to have been doomed from the beginning, and the loser must be Nikola Tesla. Even if he wins the 'Battle of Electricity', the ending will still be the same. A few years later, Tesla went bankrupt, and the once brilliant inventor had to give up his beloved laboratory and devote himself to theoretical research. But the light cannot be concealed, and his high-level papers are still very marketable in the academic world. For example, Wang Xueqian's roommate at Princeton, McKinley, was a loyal supporter of Nikola Tesla. "Is it very famous?" After all, Chen Brai has never been to the United States and has not experienced that hot era. Wang Xueqian is the person who witnessed Tesla's final glory. He naturally understands the ability of this old man. Wang Xueqian said confidently: "Of course, let's put it this way! The electricity we use, from theory to the basis of power plants, all rely on his research. It can be said that the people living in this world who are generally considered world-famous are all his." The beneficiary. " Chen Bui was secretly ashamed of himself for judging others by their appearance, and was even more shocked inside. Wang Xueqian had invited such a powerful person, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart. Although he is over sixty years old, looking at Tesla¡¯s appearance and energetic appearance, I am afraid that it is impossible to handle animals, but it is not difficult at all to fry oil from this man. Wang Xueqian currently has a project that lacks someone to host it, and there is no suitable person around him to host the project, so he has to think of Nikola Tesla. Of course, there are many world-class scholars, why must we choose Nikola Tesla? Mainly because Nikola Tesla is a loser, a loser who is lost in the eyes of everyone. ¡°This is different from those research scholars who are concerned by the government. The US government already understands Tesla¡¯s capabilities. But that's all. The reason why he is not taken seriously is that most of his research is not recognized, except for the theory of direct current and radio communications. ??A bankrupt one. A poor man living in a hotel. Not only is he poor, but he is also burdened with a lot of debt. An old man who is almost losing his teeth. ?For scholars who think they have lost their way to continue their research. ¡It can only become a type of person that the US government does not pay attention to, or even considers it useless. Wang Xueqian was an official of the Republic of China after all, so he could only make such omissions. Only those who are not wanted by others can come to the Republic of China. Among the scholars who have become famous today, which one is not being hidden as a treasure and having their every move monitored by the government? For example, Einstein came to Shanghai to give lectures the year before last, but Wang Xueqian was not interested in him at all. For a country like the Republic of China, which was extremely weak in industry and still in the agricultural era, any high-end theoretician was useless. What Wang Xueqian needs is someone who can use inventions to create immediate benefits under the current technical level, not a high-end theorist who is just a fool. This is because time does not allow it. The timeliness of invention and creation is so fast that if you invent it today, make it tomorrow, you can use it the day after tomorrow. "But for high-end theories, the time required for verification and verification is calculated in units of ten years. Ten years is not too short, and twenty years is not too long. It is not uncommon for even a hundred years of theory to be verified by countless scholars. The atomic bomb is powerful, but with the industrial level of the Republic of China, could it be built within ten years even with all its might? There is certainly no hope. Such high-end weapons can only be obtained by countries with complete basic industrial categories and huge social investment, such as Germany and the United States. What Wang Xueqian wants is a strong medicine that can achieve immediate results. So in his eyes, Nikola Tesla's utility must be much greater than that of Einstein. This is determined by the environment and the reason why he cannot choose. Nikola Tesla finished his 'afternoon tea' with satisfaction and once again appeared decently in front of Wang Xueqian. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Sir, I am very grateful to you for paying off my debt. This gave me freedom in life. When I was in the hotel, those people didn't even let me eat!" What Edison did made an outsider think it was a bit too much, and he used Morgan to fight against his competitors. But Nikola Tesla's research direction was actually completely different from Edison's. It is said that Edison is the king of invention, but in fact even his greatest feat, improving the materials of electric lights and making them of civilian value, was not his personal research. is the entire team that belongs to Edison Laboratories, especially?What is sad is that in fact, long before Edison successfully developed a cheap and practical lighting lamp, the American Henry Goebbels had invented a similar light bulb 20 years ago, and Edison also purchased Henry Goebbels' Invention patent "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit," is the story. In fact, Edison¡¯s story is not inspiring at all. He did not personally test thousands of materials to improve lighting. He is the boss, okay? When he was studying lighting, Edison was already developed, and his company had opened subsidiaries in Europe. Could he, a big boss, hide in his studio and make inventions for many years? Naturally, there are dozens, even hundreds, of his employees who have invested in long-term research because of one of Edison's decisions. Edison, he was the holder of a patent for lighting nothing more. In particular, Edison had too little tolerance for people. He was a businessman through and through, and he was classified as a profiteer. In short, Edison's story is similar to the story of the goblins in "Journey to the West". The goblins with a backstage were all recruited to enjoy the blessings, while the goblins without a backstage were beaten to death with a stick. Of course Edison belongs to the former. After talking about his experiences in the past few years, Nikola Tesla seemed to have seen through the ups and downs of the world, especially since he had many patents. However, when he was in poverty, no one wanted to transfer these patents. . Not only was no one interested, but his patented product appeared on the market, and he was helpless. If you want to file a lawsuit, you can¡¯t even afford a lawyer¡¯s fees. Without a lawsuit, I can only stay in a small hotel, and of course I can read some information to pass the time. His family left him, fame and fortune had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't even see any reports about him in newspapers. This ending of being quickly forgotten made him sigh with emotion. But Nikola Tesla was also nervous because he didn¡¯t know what Wang Xueqian wanted him to do? When the case comes to collect, he is already a type of person who has been completely forgotten by others. He will never be able to turn around in this life. I can only rely on charity, receiving twenty dollars from creditors a month, more than half of which is hotel accommodation fees. In fact, without Wang Xueqian's help, Nikola Tesla would not even be able to leave the city where he was imprisoned, because he would never be able to buy a train ticket to leave any city in his life. "Sir, I have been away from my laboratory for several years and many of my experiments have been abolished. If you want a patent, IMHO, all my patents will not be protected in the United States, you have to come It's no use." Nikola Tesla was a bachelor and revealed everything about his predicament. Anyway, I have nothing to offer, and I am not afraid of being remembered. Wang Xueqian glanced at Chen Brai and nodded to Chen Brai. The latter went out knowingly and asked the guards to stay away from the door, and then closed the door outside. Wang Xueqian looked at Nikola Tesla's bright eyes. Maybe it was because of his thinness. His eyes were unusually bright. At this moment, Wang Xueqian also took a deep breath and thought deeply before speaking. After thinking about it, he could only gamble. A handful: "Sir, he is an expert in the field of radio. I need you to host a project." "Project? I never accept designated projects" Nikola Tesla just spoke, thinking of the miserable life in the hotel, Still gave up on his persistence: "Of course this is not certain, it mainly depends on the difficulty of the project. Although I have made some achievements in the radio field, I don't know what the project you are talking about is about, because in my case It seems that the application range of radio is too wide." Wang Xueqian gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I want a radar." "It is a plane angle radar. This has almost been patented by Marconi. Just go and buy it. "Nikola Tesla is a real person, I feel like I accidentally let something slip. ¡° But this kind of planar radar is not what Wang Xueqian wants. What he wants is an air defense radar.
