mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 487

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 of this?

Can you install light bulb lighting at home or outdoors at will?
Nikola Tesla: "..."

Tired.

ignorance.

Nikola Tesla said excitedly: "This shows that my experiment has been completed without the Wardenclyffe Tower being built.

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

The earth is the inner conductor, and the earth's ionosphere is the outer conductor. The radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode of my amplifying transmitter outputs the multiple harmonics of the resonant cavity, and realizes the transmission of energy by the surface electromagnetic waves surrounding the earth.

Isn't that enough? "

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

His eyes were even redder: "So, is my Thor's Hammer still there?"

Damn it's not time to let you know why your eyes are so red.

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

"So, you dismantled my Thor's Hammer and made a not-so-portable flashlight? Just 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, chanted a few spells, and the lantern flower gradually brightened, emitting a soft light.

Everyone in the room stared blankly.

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

Benjamin Goldberg said the mantra "Turn off the lights" again.

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

Nikola Tesla pointed at his instrument: "This is the parabolic reflector, the magnetron of the transmitter, which converts the electric energy after the frequency conversion of the devil crystal into electromagnetic beams, and the honeycomb receiver on the light bulb The device can receive power. It can be transmitted to any corner of the world, and there is no problem of signal weakening.

That is to say, such a small device can realize wireless broadcasting on a global scale, not only across the Atlantic Ocean, but also across the Pacific Ocean to transmit signals to Asia with ease.

I have mastered the technology of harnessing free energy that man can only dream of.

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

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

Miao Cuihua still couldn't understand.

The corner of Freddy Pavitt's mouth twitched.

Do you still want to go to heaven?

They all thought that Nikola Tesla was in the Arabian Nights.

Similar to the views of mainstream Western scientific circles and folks at this time, they all feel that Nikola Tesla's words are not so much science as they are more like voodoo magic.

What collects the energy of the sun, what goes to the sky, how it sounds like those fairy tales that absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

Benjamin Goldberg was caught in an inextricable fantasy.

Only Zhao Chuanxin suddenly became serious.

I'm hot, solar energy, right?Sputnik, right?A space power station, right?
This is nothing unusual in Zhao Chuanxin's view.

But Nikola Tesla thought of it, how many shocks came from Zhao Chuanxin in the 21st century.

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

Nikola Tesla nodded: "The magnetron is cheap to make, but it has a short life and is easily damaged. I haven't thought of a replacement yet."

Benjamin Goldberg next to him suddenly interrupted: "Four characteristics, the resistance decreases with the increase of temperature, the photovoltaic effect, the photoconductive effect, and the rectification effect in the direction of conduction. I think these four characteristics are related. , Have you thought of any materials?"

Nikola Tesla's eyes brightened the more he listened.

These four characteristics were discovered before the 80s.

But so far no one has integrated and summarized them.

"I must admit that you are also a genius." Nikola Tesla praised. "You mean transistors?"

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

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

The term semiconductor was first used in 1911.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, what you mean is that semiconductors can replace that magnetron, right?"

In fact, semiconductors are not uncommon in this era. After all, crystal radios have appeared, but they have been called by other names.

Nikola Tesla sees the light of day: "Gentlemen, you have inspired me a lot."

Zhao Chuanxin also opened up the situation in his memory, and smiled: "Also, the solar energy you said can be collected by using crystalline silicon solar cells, and then covered with a layer of glass with good light transmission effect, and the conversion can be realized. The sun's energy. This requires adding something to the silicon to make it more sensitive to light. I don't know what it is. But unfortunately, this kind of thing is not very sustainable and has a short lifespan .Once discarded, it cannot be recycled and the toxic substances damage the environment.”

Later generations say that Nikola Tesla is the father of solar energy.

However, this is not the case.

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

On thin gold, add a little selenium to form the world's first photovoltaic module.

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

Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis are overwhelmed by their son's ability to inspire inventive geniuses.

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

I can't get my mouth in at all.

Rachel Kvis looked at Zhao Chuanxin curiously, what else does this person not know?
The war can make the navy and the army feel ashamed, and the business is booming, and now they are even playing with high technology?

He also seems to know music and painting.

Can speak Chinese, English and a little Japanese.

All-rounder?
"Thank you." Zhao Chuanxin chuckled, "But I'm not interested in radio broadcasts."

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

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

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

But no one knew what he was thinking.

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

While drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Nicolas, Thor's Hammer, I can put it with you first. R&D investment, as the same sentence, has no upper limit. Do you want to go to Asia with me?"

Nikola Tesla hesitated: "I can go, but not now. I owe JP Morgan a lot of money because of Wardenclyffe Tower. According to the opposing lawyer, even if Wardenclyffe is demolished Tower, sell equipment, and I have nearly $3 in debt to pay off. I need to get this sorted out. I'm also not willing to tear down Wardenclyffe Tower, where there are still a few unfinished experiments."

"JP Morgan, right?" Zhao Chuanxin was amused: "The people who besiege Guangmingding are usually these dignified and decent families. Tomorrow, I will help you pay the repayment. From now on, 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 and couldn't express it.

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

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

Eat very particular, very cautious.

He hikes 10 miles a day for exercise.

So 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 the three laboratories.

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

In the cold weather, Zhao Chuanxin was bare-chested, with well-proportioned muscles and smooth and vigorous movements.

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

The skin on his face is very delicate, but because of Mahina's tattoos on his body, he has suffered tons of injuries, and the scarred scars are still there today.

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

If Zhao Chuanxin's skin is delicate, Miao Cuihua's face is radiant.

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

"Yeah." Zhao Chuanxin received the credit: "As long as you are not blind, you can tell that we are both in good health."

Miao Cuihua secretly smiled.

Not only healthy, but also full of energy, day and night.

Nikola Tesla: "..."

At this time, Qianfan ran over: "Wow, woof..."

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

Nikola Tesla: "..."

This is inevitably beyond his cognition.

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 the content, and the latter made a fuss. How can people understand a dog barking?

"Ganfan said, there's my call, I'm going to answer it."

He went to the mailroom.

The call was from Abraham Cohen.

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

Then Zhao Chuanxin heard a voice that deserved to be beaten: "Who are you calling a sissy? I advise you not to offend me, otherwise... ouch..."

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

This must have been cut.

Shout out to people in society, can they spoil you?
Then, Abraham Cohen cursed and said: "This son of a bitch put on a holster to pretend to be aggressive with me. Boss, let him wait here, or let him go to North Tarrytown?"

"Let him wait. I'm on my way to New York."

　Forecast: Explosive update on Thursday.
