    Soon, Wang Xueqian knew why he had not tried so hard to persuade Nikola Tesla. It was because he regarded himself as a funder, a banker, and the speculators on Wall Street.  the same.  Even if he recognizes his identity, he has certain privileges.  But for Nikola Tesla, his purpose was to take money out of Wang Xueqian's pocket for research.  To use an inappropriate metaphor, Wang Xueqian is a "fat sheep" standing on the streets of New York, with a bulging wallet, just waiting for thieves to take notice.  And Nikola Tesla is the thief who squats on the street corner to get lucky.  For a thief, his biggest concern is how to take out the wallet from the "fat sheep" without being discovered.  His eyes will not pay attention to the eyes of the 'fat sheep', nor will he have in-depth communication. Instead, he will stare at the 'fat sheep's' trouser pockets.  Think about it, how could the thief communicate with the 'fat sheep'?  Once there is communication, something big will basically happen.  If there are police on the streets and the masses are filled with indignation, the thief is likely to be stepped on by the 'fat sheep', who will beat him angrily and curse: "Let you pick out your wallet!" Especially Nikola?  Tesla was in an embarrassing situation. He changed to another creditor. Wang Xueqian purchased all his debts. In name, he could point at Nikola Tesla's nose and rudely beat him back to his prototype with two words.  : "Pay back the money!" But as long as Nikola Tesla is given an environment he is familiar with and discussed as a relationship between friends, it is another matter.  "The transmitting device needs to be more powerful, and the faster the transmitting frequency, the better, so that it can meet the larger coverage area and sensitivity. However, which band is more suitable, we need to continue to experiment to get the results." There is an extra piece in the room.  The small blackboard seemed to suddenly shorten the distance between the two parties.  And the scene doesn't look like it's in the governor's villa, but more like it's in a university office.  "Why can't it be shortwave?" Wang Xueqian suddenly thought that the radar seemed to use shortwave, especially the early radars.  Regarding his suggestion, Nikola Tesla held his chin and carefully considered it for a while. He also felt that it was feasible because short wave was more sensitive, especially for long-distance monitoring, and the recovery effect would be better.  "The receiving device needs amplification. Fortunately, we can refer to De Forest's research. His research pushed radio from the laboratory to the practical field." "Is it a triode?" "Yes, William. But if you want to increase  In order to improve the experimental process and speed, a large number of electron tubes would be needed. As you know, this patent was not in De Forest's hands. It had been purchased by AT&T. The transaction price caused a sensation.  It reached an astonishing US$390,000." Wang Xueqian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Are you friends?" Unexpectedly, Wang Xueqian's casual question made Nikola Tesla blush slightly.  He made an embarrassed expression and whispered: "We met during the lawsuit." Seeing Wang Xueqian's eyes a little confused, he immediately explained: "He is not in a lawsuit with me, we are in a lawsuit with those nasty bankers.  So for a period of time we often met at the patent office and the court. I often held court before him, or he held court before me" As he spoke, Nikola Tesla trembled a little nervously, and then he realized.  Wang Xueqian doesn¡¯t seem to be the same person as him! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????,,,,,,,,,,,,  But he was still nervous. He didn't want to be classified as a person without integrity by Wang Xueqian.  Fortunately, Wang Xueqian's next question made him put aside his grudge: "Can you invite him to come to the Republic of China? Of course, we can set up a laboratory suitable for his development. It would be better if it was in a university.  ¡± The father of radio!  The birth of almost all new technologies in the field of communications in modern times was based on his research.  Such a great man actually lived in the same miserable life as Nikola Tesla, but the way these two met was a bit funny.  Litigation?  They are all suffering masters.  Like most inventors, De Forest was not a successful businessman.  His life, especially his finances, was almost in shambles.  The invention of the triode earned him a patent fee of US$390,000. In this era, the United States could definitely enjoy life while lying down.  But it¡¯s only been a few years!  This guy just lost such a huge sum of money.  "I'm afraid not, he's very busy recently." Nikola Tesla answered Wang Xueqian's question in a low voice.  It gives people a particularly guilty look.  Although Wang Xueqian has lived in the United States for nearly ten years, he does not know or have heard of every great American person.  De Forest's greatness lies in his research that laid the foundation for radio, wirelessThe birth of a series of new inventions such as wire transmitters and radio stations.  If you can get it under your banner, it¡¯s also a good choice.  Of course, De Forest's life must be miserable enough, and he must feel like he can't survive in the United States, so Wang Xueqian asked with concern: "Is it career-related?" "There areseveral lawsuits to be fought. In the lawsuit  "I'm afraid he won't be able to leave the United States until it's settled." Wang Xueqian instantly understood that De Forest's life was bad enough, almost as unlucky as Tesla.  It's like being imprisoned, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to dispose of my property until the lawsuit is settled.  However, this is not difficult for Wang Xueqian. If the creditor is a consortium that has a good relationship with the Pan American Consortium, it does not seem to be difficult to settle the lawsuit.  I have to say that Nikola Tesla¡¯s fellow sufferer is worthy of Wang Xueqian¡¯s heart: ¡°Who are you going to sue with?¡± ¡°Mainly with General Electric and AT&T, and also with several electrical manufacturing companies¡± Edison  General Electric, the major shareholder is Morgan; AT&T is one of the super monopolies with the largest assets in the United States, and there is no need to guess who the major shareholder is.  Wang Xueqian opened his mouth and said with a concealed smile: "By the way, where did you say that?" None of De Forest's opponents was easy to deal with, and even Wang Xueqian couldn't help him.  He had no friendship with Morgan, not at all.  Unlike Nikola Tesla, this guy's victim is actually Westinghouse Electric. The company's controlling bank is Bank of America, which is the core bank of the Pan American Consortium.  To settle Nikola Tesla's case, it was just a matter of Wang Xueqian's words.  But Morgan is different, he is not from the same circle!  ¡°If Wang Xueqian hadn¡¯t thought of him, Nikola Tesla would still be in a small hotel in the United States, waiting eagerly for friends to bring food every day.  The court allowed the creditor to grant him one month's living expenses, which was simply designed according to the cat's food intake.  Excluding hotel accommodation fees, he didn't even have enough money to buy food.  ??Besides, it¡¯s not okay to have friends send money. The courts in the United States are very serious. How can a bankrupt person get a large donation from a friend?  To be confiscated.  Besides, a hapless guy like Nikola Tesla doesn¡¯t have many wealthy friends around him.  Nikola Tesla felt a little depressed for a while, but there were a lot of unlucky people around him. He thought that he seemed to be living a miserable life, and then he felt relieved.  People who engage in research are like this. As long as they can survive, they will continue to research consciously as if they have clockwork in their heads.  Even if there is no laboratory, he can still study if there is a desk.  Next, Nikola Tesla carefully continued his vision of the function of air defense radar. Of course, this was under the condition that Wang Xueqian gave the prerequisites.  ?Technically, many of them are already complete.  Some people are also studying long-distance imaging technology, which is actually a television.  This shows that picture tube technology already exists, and the imaging requirements of radar are much lower than those of television.  So it's technically easier.  There are already ready-made products for high-frequency and short-wave transmitting devices, just buy those from General Electric.  And it won't attract anyone's attention. Make no mistake, it is the core component of the radio station.  Radios have been sold in Shanghai for a long time. If there is no radio station, why would you buy a radio to take home and use it as a coffee table?  It seems that the technical problems that Wang Xueqian was worried about before have been solved. What is needed is the combination of these technologies to form a device with completely new functions.  This requires a large number of experiments to obtain the final data results.  Only this part cannot be bought, and Wang Xueqian also knows it well. When the conversation reaches this point, Wang Xueqian has nothing to hesitate and immediately decides: "What are your requirements for the laboratory." "The main thing is money.  Funding. "When Nikola Tesla talks about technology, he speaks loudly and makes precise judgments.  But when it came to money, he became worried: "People are also needed." "The funding is 200,000 US dollars a year, and we will give it according to this number every year for three years. Is it enough?" Wang Xueqian invested 600,000 US dollars in one go.  Nikola Tesla was stunned by his generosity.  He didn't think the technology was important.  But since Wang Xueqian said this, why might he think it¡¯s too much money?  Wang Xueqian made a rough calculation and found that the initial investment was enough for the operation.  The only thing unclear is how many support personnel Nikola Tesla will need.  Nikola Tesla nodded and said: "Enough. For auxiliary personnel, I need 3 to 5 electrical engineers and 15 mathematical calculation personnel." "One month, give me a month and I will prepare it for you."  Wang Xueqian's words were already full of sincerity, and Wang Xueqian later decided that Nikola Tesla's salary would be calculated separately. In fact, it doesn't make much sense how much money to pay for a talent like him.  But in terms of salary, the annual salary of US$10,000 for a top-notch talent is already a sky-high price.  But what Nikola Tesla said next made WangQian Qian became uneasy: "Can I advance three years' salary?" "Is it to settle down my family?" "No." Nikola Tesla was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, in the past few years, I have  I don¡¯t even know where they went" It turns out that this unlucky guy has been abandoned by his family. Well, even the person involved is not willing to explain this kind of unfortunate thing. Nikola Tesla started to explain that he wanted to advance his salary.  Reason: "I have been doing a study in the past two years. The existing aircraft engines are insufficient in power and cannot provide high enough thrust. The most critical reason is that the propeller aircraft itself limits the increase in flight speed. Three years  I started studying the jet engine patented by Frenchman Maxime Guillaume. "But this engine consumes too much fuel and requires expensive high-quality fuel, such as hydrogen This is obviously uneconomical.  So in the past few years, I have been trying to use another design to put the propeller inside the engine to form a complete propulsion system, use the internal turbofan to suck air into the engine, and initially use the principle of compressed air to improve the work of fuel in the engine.  Efficiency, and then add a compression device at the end of the engine, which can produce maximum thrust after ignition, thereby improving fuel efficiency" Hearing this, Wang Xueqian began to get nervous. Logically speaking, if this technology is verified, it will be considered a laboratory  It will be verified within a year and will also be a super technology.  Anyone with a bit of vision will take it for themselves.  When Nikola Tesla said this, he felt a little resentful and his tone involuntarily became aggravated: "But the military rejected the research funding I applied for. They even considered any jet engine technology to be an expensive toy that is not suitable for flying. But.  Now I think I have the ability to perfect this technology in the laboratory, so" Wang Xueqian was shocked. The master is a master after all, even if he was locked up in the hotel, he was not idle.  Reading and reading newspapers will give you new research directions, and it can only be regarded as a hobby Wang Xueqian couldn't help but think in his heart that if he were Edison, he would probably want to strangle Nikola Tesla to death.  This guy's life is to make smart people uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as a cat's claws scratching his heart.  Logically speaking, Wang Xueqian will definitely not refuse this kind of super technology. The turbofan engine, the camel in the jet engine family, has high power, low fuel consumption and long range.  In later generations, it was widely used in large passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft.  But in the military field, this technology is an indispensable key technology for large transport aircraft and strategic bombers.  Even if Nikola Tesla researched this technology, it would have taken ten years to build it from the laboratory to the large factory. In the mid-to-late 1930s, bombers equipped with turbofan engines were faster than the fastest combat aircraft.  All are fast, and the ultimate speed can be close to subsonic speed.  Supersonic speed is not realistic, but if a bomber with a speed close to subsonic speed is dispatched, fighter escort is no longer needed.  Of course, the biggest problem is materials.  No matter how bad the turbofan engine is, the tail flame temperature can reach 600 degrees or even 800 degrees, and the temperature of the combustion chamber inside the engine will be even higher. Can the existing materials meet the requirements?  Without technical support, we can only live in the laboratory.  Is an engine that can last for three minutes or an engine that lasts five minutes meaningful to the military?  No wonder the U.S. military wants to reject Nikola Tesla, but for Wang Xueqian, this technology is still good, and it will definitely be used in the future if he buys it. The only thing that makes him confused is whether Nikola Tesla wants  Does he support entering the experimental field as soon as possible?  What about support?  Or support it?  (~^~)
