America 1881: Legend of the West

"Hi! Theodore!" Chen Jianqiu stepped forward and greeted the police chief.

Roosevelt was inspecting the crowds when he suddenly saw Chen Jianqiu. He was stunned for a moment, then beamed and gave him a big hug.

The experience in North Dakota gave Roosevelt a new understanding of the Chinese in front of him.

Chen Jianqiu was the savior of him and his daughter and helped him deal with many things, which made him grateful.

The two still communicate through letters from time to time.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Chicago? My friend?" Roosevelt laughed heartily.

"Oh, you said in your letter that you are serving as the police chief here. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you because of your busy schedule, so I didn't go to see you." Chen Jianqiu said with his hands on his hips as he glanced at the visitors coming and going in the exhibition hall.

"Hey, don't mention it. I'm here to be the police chief just for a temporary transition." Roosevelt leaned into Chen Jianqiu's ear and whispered, "I should be back in New York after a while."

"The security in Chicago is simply terrible." He also crossed his arms and sighed, "There is so much work to do."

"No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be in the West?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Roosevelt with a half-smile, "I'll ask Holiday to get you a few people to help you later."

"Well." Roosevelt took off his hat and scratched his curly hair, "First of all, let's make sure that this exposition can go smoothly. There are so many people, and they can always create some trouble for you."

Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt stood by the aisle and whispered, while their subordinates stood beside them meticulously.

"I'll have a chat with Mr. Roosevelt. You go and look around first." Seeing that they were a little cautious, Chen Jianqiu let them go around by themselves.

"By the way, go to the 'Coca-Cola' booth opposite and ask if you can buy shares or get the operating rights of several states." He said to Dylan's lawyer who was about to leave, "In a difficult situation, in a crisis Down, people need something sweet."

"Have you drank?" The lawyer turned around and looked at Chen Jianqiu doubtfully.

"I guessed it." His boss looked at him mysteriously, "If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself."

The crowd dispersed quickly.

The merchants participating in the exhibition are all looking forward to the new opportunities that this expo will bring to them. It is best to be awarded a gold medal from the previous expo, which will be a huge source of money.

So they are sparing no effort to win over the passing visitors.

In addition to sightseeing and placing orders, most of the visitors are also looking forward to the opening ceremony in the evening.

According to newspaper reports, they were said to be able to see a never-before-seen Expo site at night.

While Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt were chatting, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the museum.

"It seems like someone is coming." Roosevelt stopped the conversation first and looked towards the entrance of the museum.

Chen Jianqiu narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, there was a disturbance in the flow of people in the aisle.

Someone separated the crowd and squeezed over.

were several Roswell Electric employees.

They all looked anxious and were walking in a hurry.

The first employee, Chen Jianqiu, knew him, his name was Leng Hongyi.

As he pushed forward, he looked around and searched.

When he saw Chen Jianqiu, he seemed to have seen a savior and immediately hurried to the front of the boss.

Leng Hongyi hesitated to speak when he saw Roosevelt wearing a police uniform next to Chen Jianqiu.

"It's okay. Just tell me what's going on." Chen Jianqiu crossed his arms in front of his chest, indicating for him to speak directly.

Leng Hongyi took a deep breath, licked his chapped lips, and lowered his voice and said:

"Our generators were damaged, six out of twenty were damaged."

"When did it happen?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"Just now, Mr. Tesla took us to check the ten sets of generators in the south and then went to check the ten sets in the north. We found something went wrong." Leng Hongyi pointed to the electrician beside him.

“Where’s Tesla?”

"I was thinking of a way to fix it. He asked me to come to you." Leng Hongyi replied.

Chen Jianqiu nodded.

He turned to Roosevelt and said: "Theodore, you heard it, someone damaged the generator, I have to deal with it quickly."

Roosevelt had heard Leng Hongyi's report on the side, and he greeted his subordinates:

"Come on, someone is vandalizing the Expo venue. You guys should follow me and take a look!"

Chen Jianqiu and Roosevelt came to a factory north of the Expo Park.

This is the power supply site for the North District, with ten alternators inside.

They went inside.

Tesla had taken off his suit, was holding a wrench, and was working with a Chinese electrician to tighten the screws of a generator.

His sleeves were rolled up high, the white shirt on his body had become darkened, and his original curly hair was messy.

"How is it?" Chen Jianqiu came to them.

"It's being repaired," Tesla said without looking back.

"Don't our generators have a load margin in their design?" Chen Jianqiu pondered for a moment.

"The southern half is fine, it's overflowing, but the northern half is in trouble." Tesla rubbed his nose with his hand, "There are still four groups that can operate, and there is a high probability that some lights will not light up. !”

There are many people attending the opening ceremony tonight. If the lights in any exhibition hall are not on, there may be a problem.

Chen Jianqiu calmly took out a pocket watch, glanced at the time on it, and then put it back.

"There are still three hours until the opening ceremony officially starts in the evening. Is that enough?" he asked.

"It's not a big problem, but if it goes bad again, it might be troublesome." Tesla said lightly.

This exhibition is so crucial that it directly determines the outcome of the battle between alternating current and direct current.

Three hours, six generators.

If it were any other person, he might not dare to give this guarantee.

However, Chen Jianqiu has full confidence in Serbian engineers.

It must be said that this Serbian is a genius.

Problems that may seem hopeless to others can be properly solved by him.

Roosevelt looked at the lying generators with a serious expression.

He turned around and said to the police officers behind him:

"Someone is maliciously damaging the facilities of the Expo. We are going to investigate immediately and we must catch the saboteur!"

“There’s no need to look for a needle in a haystack.”

Chen Jianqiu suddenly stopped Roosevelt.

"I know where that guy is."

He ignored the police chief's surprise and said hello to Tesla: "I'll leave this to you."

Tesla just said "Yeah" and continued to concentrate on the repair work.

"Master Leng, go to the booth to find Kou Yongsheng and ask him if he is ready. When you are ready, go to the generator set in the south to find me. The others will stay to help repair the generator."

Chen Jianqiu issued the order.

He then turned his head and waved to Roosevelt and his police officers:

"Let's go, I'll take you to find the saboteur."

The police officers followed Chen Jianqiu and set off in the direction of the generator set to the south.

"Didn't you send someone to guard those generators?" Roosevelt asked on the way.

"No, the maintenance on the south side has been handed over to the park, but judging from the current situation, there should be no decent protection measures." Chen Jianqiu glanced at Roosevelt and the police officers around him.

Roosevelt was speechless.

Like the north, there is also a large factory building in the south.

And when Chen Jianqiu and others quickly walked into the factory, they actually found a sneaky figure next to the generator.
