The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Nikola Tesla looked at Zhao Chuanxin proudly.

This is real radio.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Nikola Tesla with innocent eyes: "Then what?"

What's the use?

Can you install light bulbs at home or outdoors?

Nikola Tesla: "..."

Tired.

ignorance.

Nikola Tesla said excitedly: “This shows that my experiment has been completed without the construction of Wardenclyffe Tower.

Wireless power transmission saves the cost of transmission cables and the loss of transmission resistors.

The earth is the inner conductor, and the earth's ionosphere is the outer conductor. The radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode of my amplified transmitter outputs multiple harmonics of the resonant cavity, realizing surface electromagnetic waves surrounding the earth to transmit energy.

Isn't this enough? "

Zhao Chuanxin took a big gulp of beer and his face immediately turned red.

His eyes became even redder: "So, is my Mjolnir still there?"

I won't let you know why your eyes are so red.

Nikola Tesla lowered his head slightly: "Yes, it is, but I don't want to restore it."

"So, you took apart my Thor's hammer and made a flashlight that is not very portable? Are you going to show me this?" Zhao Chuanxin said to his apprentice: "Benjamin, show him what a portable outdoor light is. .”

Benjamin Goldberg took out the lantern flower and chanted a few spells. The lantern flower gradually brightened and emitted a soft light.

The whole room was stunned.

Even Nikola Tesla frowned: "Is this some kind of lighting device disguised as a plant? Or is it voice-controlled?"

Benjamin Goldberg chants the mantra "Turn out the lights" again.

Zhao Chuanxin emphasized dissatisfiedly: "The key is not those, the key is, what is the function of this thing you modified?"

Nikola Tesla pointed at his instrument: "This is the parabolic cylindrical reflector, the magnetron of the transmitter, which converts the frequency-converted electrical energy of the Devil's Crystal into an electromagnetic beam, and the honeycomb receiver on the light bulb. The power can be received by the device. Transmission can be achieved anywhere in the world without the problem of signal weakening.

In other words, such a small device can realize wireless broadcasting on a global scale. Not only can it span the Atlantic Ocean, but it can also easily transmit signals across the Pacific Ocean to Asia.

I have mastered the technology of harnessing free energy that humans have only dreamed of.

You know that the earth rotates. If I can install a device that converts the sun's energy into electrical energy in the earth's synchronous orbit, and then install an amplifying transmitter. Even without power stations and cables, thousands of households can still use electricity! "

After Nikola Tesla’s explanation, Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis couldn’t help laughing.

Miao Cuihua still didn't understand.

The corner of Freddy Pavitt's mouth twitched very covertly.

Do you still want to go to heaven?

They all thought Nikola Tesla was a fantasy.

Similar to the views of the mainstream Western scientific community and the public at this time, they all felt that Nikola Tesla's words were more like witchcraft than science.

What about collecting the energy of the sun, and what about going to the sky? This sounds so much like those fairy tales about absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

Benjamin Goldberg is obsessed with fantasy.

Only Zhao Chuanxin's face suddenly turned solemn.

I'm blanching, solar energy, right? Sputnik, right? A space power station, right?

This is nothing unusual in Zhao Chuanxin's opinion.

But Nikola Tesla thought of it, which shocked Zhao Chuanxin from the 21st century.

Zhao Chuanxin asked cautiously: "Then, are there any flaws?"

Nikola Tesla nodded: "Magnetrons are cheap to make, but have a short life and are easily damaged. I haven't thought of a replacement yet."

Benjamin Goldberg, who was next to him, suddenly interjected: "Four characteristics: resistance decreases as temperature rises, photovoltaic effect, photoconductivity effect, and rectification effect in conductive direction. I think these four characteristics are related. , have you thought of any materials?”

The more Nikola Tesla listened, the brighter his eyes became.

These four characteristics were discovered before the 1980s.

But no one has integrated and summarized them so far.

"I must admit that you are also a genius." Nikola Tesla praised him. "You mean the transistor, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin: "Aren't these the four characteristics of semiconductors?"

"Semiconductors?" Nikola Tesla and Benjamin Goldberg said in unison.

The term semiconductor was first used in 1911.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, you mean, semiconductors can replace the magnetron, right?"

In fact, semiconductors are not uncommon in this era. After all, crystal radios have already appeared, but they were called something else.

Nikola Tesla said: "Gentlemen, you have inspired me a lot."

Zhao Chuanxin also opened up the situation in his memory and smiled: "Also, when you talk about collecting solar energy, you can use crystalline silicon solar cells and then cover it with a layer of glass with good light transmission effect to achieve conversion. Solar energy. This requires adding something to the silicon to make it more sensitive to light. I don’t know what it is specifically. But unfortunately, this kind of thing is not very sustainable and has a short lifespan. .Once discarded, it cannot be recycled and toxic substances will harm the environment."

Some people in later generations said that Nikola Tesla was the father of solar energy.

Not so.

Some of his ideas were avant-garde, but the first person to create a solar cell was American scientist Charles Fritz in 1883.

Add a little selenium to a thin layer of gold to form the world's first photovoltaic module.

Nikola Tesla's eyes were very bright: "Zhao, there is no doubt that you are also a genius."

Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis were impressed by their son's inspiration for inventive genius.

And I was at a loss as to what the three "geniuses" were talking about.

I couldn't get a word in at all.

Rachel Kervis looked at Zhao Chuanxin curiously. What else could this person not know?

War can bring disgrace to the navy and army, and make business prosperous. Now they are even using high technology?

He also seemed to know music and painting.

Can speak Chinese and English and a little Japanese.

All-rounder?

"Excellent." Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "But I'm not interested in radio broadcasts or anything like that."

Nikola Tesla shook his head: "This is improving human life. I think it is very meaningful."

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his index finger and waved: "No, no, don't think about improving human life. I pay you money just to let you change my life. I want a device that can make instant calls, a phone without wires , or weapons and tools that can destroy evil forces."

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin also has imagination. He has constructed a scene long ago, and he is willing to pay money and time for that highlight moment in his life.

But no one knew what he was thinking.

A hot pot meal was spent eating, drinking, and chatting.

While drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Nicholas, I can put Mjolnir with you first. R\u0026D investment, as I said before, has no upper limit. Do you want to go to Asia with me?"

Nikola Tesla hesitated: "You can go, but not now. Because of Wardenclyffe Tower, I owe J.P. Morgan a large sum of money. According to the other party's lawyer, even if Wardenclyffe Tower is demolished, Tower, selling off the equipment, and I still have nearly $30,000 in debt to pay off. I need to get these things taken care of. I also don’t want to tear down Wardenclyffe Tower, which still has several unfinished experiments.”

"J.P. Morgan, right?" Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Those who besiege Guangmingding are usually these sanctimonious and well-known people. Tomorrow, I will help you repay it. From now on, you can just do scientific research with peace of mind."

Nikola Tesla was not good at words, he just pursed his lips.

But everyone present felt that he was full of gratitude that could not be expressed.

In the evening, Zhao Chuanxin asked Freddy Pavitt to arrange for Nikola Tesla to live in the manor.

Nikola Tesla had two meals a day, one at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning and one at 7 or 8 in the evening.

I eat very particular and cautiously.

He hikes 10 miles every day for exercise.

Therefore, he, a sick man, can live to be 80 years old. At the age of 78, he still has the energy to take charge of three laboratories.

When he came back on foot, he saw Zhao Chuanxin and Miao Cuihua practicing balancing skills in the yard.

On a cold day, Zhao Chuanxin was naked from the waist up, with well-proportioned muscles and smooth and vigorous movements.

The complex geometric patterns covered in tattoos on the front and back of his body twisted and deformed with his movements, which looked shocking.

The skin on his face is very delicate, but because of Mahina's tattoos, he suffered tons of injuries, and the scars and chiseled marks are still there to this day.

Miao Cuihua was wearing tight-fitting clothes and didn't wear much, but she didn't feel cold.

If Zhao Chuanxin has delicate skin, Miao Cuihua has a radiant face.

Nikola Tesla looked at it for a while and said: "Your breathing is very strange. This kind of exercise is very good for you."

"Yes." Zhao Chuanxin said, "As long as you are not blind, you can see that we are both healthy."

Miao Cuihua secretly smiled.

Not only healthy, but also full of energy, night after night.

Nikola Tesla: "..."

At this time, Ganfan ran over: "Woof woof woof..."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhao Chuanxin wiped his sweat with a towel and said.

Nikola Tesla: "..."

This is inevitably beyond his understanding.

He asked curiously: "What did it say to you?"

You see this is the difference between a wise man and a fool.

The former asked about the content, while the latter made a fuss about how someone could understand a dog barking?

"Gangfan said he has my phone number and I'm going to answer it."

He went to the mailroom.

The call was from Abraham Cohen.

"Boss, there is a sissy named Jean Bourne looking for you."

Then Zhao Chuanxin heard a voice from the other side that wanted to be beaten: "Who are you calling a sissy? I advise you not to offend me, otherwise... oops..."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

This is definitely a cut.

If you yell at people in society, will they tolerate you?

Then, Abraham Cohen cursed and said: "This son of a bitch is showing off his gun holster to show off to me. He's unscrupulous. Boss, let him wait here, or should we let him go to North Tarrytown?"

"Let him wait. I happen to be going to New York."
