The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() Long Island, New York, the former site where Tesla built Wodenclift Tower 40 years ago, now a huge building has been built, and professional armed guards surround the surrounding area with a radius of one kilometer, making it difficult to It's rainy.

The iron tower that was originally dismantled was quietly rebuilt a few years ago. It is at least four times larger than the original 60-meter tower built by Tesla, and its height is more than 150 meters. In name, it is a brand new Atlantic Ocean. The communication station, and the signal tower facing the TV and radio around New York, you can see the word "Morgan" in the name of the investor, and you should know that its background is not that simple!

Three years ago, this giant tower was put into use, and it did send TV programs and radio broadcasts to all parts of New York State, but the nearby residents noticed that in some special weather, this giant tower also released violent lightning at the same time!This reminds some old residents of what happened 40 years ago.

Obviously this time the scale is much larger.In order to supply the electricity for this giant tower, a thermal power plant was even built not far away, and a two-kilometer-long tidal power generation equipment was installed on a beach in the name of scientific research. And know. . .

In short, a series of constructions made this place flourish rapidly. Thousands of workers came in and out. While the economy prospered, it also brought many unusual and weird events.It's just that they have been suppressed by people who are unaccommodating, so those tabloid reporters who like no wind and waves have not been able to make irresponsible remarks and make up nonsense about the things here, unless they don't want to die .

Jack Morgan came out of his manor villa, and it took less than half an hour to get here by car. He drove directly to the building not far from the iron tower in the central area, and went through multiple security and security checks. behind the door.Take the elevator down to the center of the underground laboratory with a depth of 50 meters, and the director of the laboratory, Dr. Howard Stark, is waiting here early.

The huge and spacious underground space is the size of a football field, supported by tens of meters of steel frames, and divided into multiple levels. meander out.Stretching to electrodes and firing ends of different shapes, the buzzing arc rose and fell suddenly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of ozone.

Howard Stark was a little surprised by the sudden arrival of the boss!Apart from investing, this powerful American tycoon rarely personally participates in projects that have nothing to do with finance. It is this super laboratory with an investment of over [-] million US dollars. He has been here a handful of times. But today, why are you interested?

Jack Morgan was obviously not interested in anyone's explanation, and shook hands with Dr. Stark in a polite manner.Then he quickly checked the briefings on the important research progress of the entire laboratory, then threw them aside, stared at him sharply and asked, "Doctor, how far is our electromagnetic research?"

Talking about his strengths, Dr. Stark immediately changed his polite appearance, raised his brows uncontrollably, and said excitedly: "It should be said, it's very rewarding! Through the reverse engineering of various space wrecks we have obtained We have made up for the shortcomings of the Tesla discharge device, and can completely transmit local electric energy to places hundreds of kilometers away through the resonance effect of the ionosphere in space!"

Jack Morgan nodded slightly.Don't judge.

Dr. Stark thought to each other that the people in the Morgan family first cared about the profit after commercialization, and now they have actually controlled a considerable part of the world's electricity product market, and he would have nothing to do with such quasi-free energy products. interest.Otherwise, the old Morgan would have accepted Tesla's products 40 years ago.Still using him as an afterthought?

Being able to be the director of the laboratory, his adaptability is also extremely fast, and he immediately changed the subject: "However, this is only our confirmation and verification of the original data, the main harvest. Still through the study of space debris, we found a feasible Using electromagnetic force to launch objects at ultra-high speed, so as to obtain the effect of powerful kinetic energy strike! Maybe one day in the future, it will completely replace the existing gunpowder weapons! In addition, there are a series of commercial applications, which will surely bring a new electromagnetic force revolution!"

Some of the words in this passage are what Morgan is most willing to hear, especially weapons and revolution, which represent countless profits, especially those that can lead to the arrival of a new era, which will not only be feats recorded in history, That represents the rise of a new empire!

In order to prove that he was not talking nonsense, Dr. Stark immediately led the way and led them to the edge of the dome laboratory. In an open space, there stood a steel frame with a height of two floors, squatting on the base. Looking at a huge power structure that weighs at least a hundred tons, dozens of arms-thick cables are plugged into the ports at both ends. In the center of the yang, a huge angular tube that is twice thicker than a person's waist stretches out to a length of more than 20 meters. Looking up, it looks like a weirdly shaped cannon!

Dr. Stark patted the thick base proudly, and said: "Look! This is our partially restored and trial-produced electromagnetic launch device! It can accelerate a one-kilogram long high-strength alloy warhead to every The speed is 2000 meters per second! It is estimated that the effective range can reach more than [-] kilometers, and the kinetic energy strike effect at the end can even penetrate the armor of a battleship!"

In his opinion, as a prototype product, having such performance is quite good.But there was no trace of excitement on Morgan's face, his cold eyes just lightened up slightly, he looked at this huge guy from the beginning to the end, nodded and asked: "How long is it before it is practical?"

This is clearly an insider's statement!

Dr. Stark did not dare to neglect, and said honestly: "This...may take a few years! You know, our research on high-strength and superconductors has just begun, and reverse engineering is the most labor-intensive and time-consuming of!"

Before he could finish speaking, Morgan raised his hand to interrupt: "Okay. I got it!"

For the rest, Tesla said it countless times back then, and the old Morgan family could hear cocoons.The difference is that Stark is much more pragmatic than that old lunatic, at least he didn't offend people all over the world by shouting the slogan of free energy.And looking at the product in front of me, it is already a relatively well-established weapon. Although it is still far from being practical, it is indeed enough to deceive the US Department of Defense.

As the head of the consortium.Of course, Jack Morgan wouldn't care about one or two arms deals. His eyes wandered around the laboratory. Dr. Stark knew his eyes very well, and immediately led them to the other side, where there was a machine about the size of a truck. A device with a prismatic beak protruding from its head.Again there is a whole bunch of cables and heatsinks.

He took out a brief and handed it to Morgan, and explained: "Look! This is another high-energy product that we have researched from the broken metal copy finger. According to the name of the Chinese paper, it is called 'laser'! It can It generates hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature in an instant, and has various strange characteristics! There are countless uses in high-energy weapons, electronics industry, medical equipment, special welding, cutting, optical communication and signal transmission, etc. In the next 50 years, even For 100 years, it will bring countless profits!"

Profit again!Jack Morgan liked hearing this word very much, and his face finally looked a little better. He valued this thing more than the electromagnetic gun just now.After all, it can be directly linked to existing industries, so a series of laboratories and industries under him will bring huge benefits, which should be regarded as the only one in the world... Well, no, there are also Chinese people.

Hateful Chinese!Nasty yellow-skinned monkey!Why do they take the lead in everything? !

Morgan is very upset!The reason why he established this laboratory was that he was keenly aware of its potential value at the beginning, and the extraterrestrial objects obtained from the sea, land and various places also made him see the possibility beyond the present.At least it will not let other countries be pulled behind.

In just a few years now, two series of high value-added products have been produced.It should be, the results are already very impressive?

But looking at Dr. Stark's expression, he knew that in front of them, a group of Chinese people had left early!The principle of the laser was discovered by Einstein, and now the old man is the giant of the quantum laboratory in the City of Light.and the head of theoretical physics.Electromagnetic products, the big cow is Tesla, and now he is the leader of the research institutes in the field of electromagnetism and practical physics in the city of light.

The most capable people in the world have been robbed by the Chinese, and his majestic Morgan can only pick up the rest, which is a great shame!

There is no good mood left.Morgan waved back, and the servant immediately gave him a clip.Dr. Stark took it in a daze and opened it. His eyes widened immediately, and he glared at Morgan with an unbelievable expression and shouted: "This...isn't it true?! Mr. Morgan, where did you get this picture? Photo?!"

It was a photo of the chief mate, severely exposed, and it was a momentary scene of a thick lightning shooting out from the thick clouds and lighting up a submarine on the sea!

A simple lightning attack is not a strange thing, but Dr. Stark can see that the slanting and galloping lightning is not naturally generated at all. The angle, shape, and shooting distance all violate the basic laws of nature!

Of course, Jack Morgan would not tell him that this was a picture accidentally taken by the people on the "Cassin", recording the last existence of the Japanese submarine, and allowing people thousands of kilometers away to truly know each other It turns out that there are still terrifying powers in the world that are absolutely beyond imagination!

He stared at Stark and asked, "Doctor, if you want to achieve a similar lightning attack effect, can you do it!"

Dr. Stark understood, this is clearly an application variant of the Tesla Electromagnetic Tower!However, hasn't it been said all along that his electric tower can only realize the function of wireless transmission?The so-called lightning attack is just a fabrication and far-fetched, and there is nothing to say about the "Tunguska explosion".But now it seems that the thing really works!

He suddenly remembered that the series of electromagnetic towers on the eastern coast of China were continuously shooting upwards all day long, and the sky they illuminated was as bizarre as a storm. Could it be that there also became the base for lightning strikes?

Frowning, gently wiping the neatly trimmed stubble on his upper lip, Dr. Stark thought about it seriously, and shook his head honestly: "I'm sorry sir! We don't have any information about this at the moment! You know, controlling lightning Such an act is considered a miracle, and only Mr. Tesla seems to have accomplished it, we..."

Morgan cried out a little impatiently: "His information is all kept! Isn't there a clear record in it?"

Tesla was hit by two fires. Although there is no evidence, some people actually speculate that one was done by Edison, and the other was to deliberately cover up traces of the theft of his research materials and laboratory equipment.And after he owed a debt, all the invention materials were confiscated and sealed.Nominally in the hands of the fbi.But in fact, every copy of Morgan has, even the original.

Stark spread his hands regretfully: "You know, Mr. Tesla has a habit. He likes to store materials and design drawings in his head, and rarely records them all on paper. So... what we got, actually Incomplete!"

Morgan remembered, it really is the case!Many times, Tesla does not make design drawings, but directly manufactures products. The problem is, he can do it successfully every time!Even if someone disassembles and imitates it, the effect is not as good as his original one!This kind of spatial structure and powerful thinking ability is beyond imagination and cannot be imitated.

"Damn it!" Morgan swung his cane vigorously, resenting the old lunatic in his heart.It will only leave all kinds of troubles!

After thinking about it, he left the information to Dr. Stark: "No matter what method you think of, I want to see something similar! In addition, the electromagnetic guns and lasers you mentioned must be produced in the shortest possible time. product!"

Dr. Stark hurriedly agreed, and after sending them out of the laboratory, he wiped his sweat with his backhand and let out a long breath.Looking at the blurry photo again, he sighed frowningly: "This is really a big trouble!"

Not to mention that he ordered other researchers to work overtime.Lest the world's leading tycoon make them into a life-and-death dilemma because of wasting a huge amount of money. Not everyone can be as lucky as Tesla and find a rich man who can pay off their debts for them!

Tesla only owes more than 100 million US dollars, and this is an investment of hundreds of millions!

Jack Morgan returned to the manor with a dark face, and immediately contacted Tom Lamont, telling him: "Immediately use our manpower to push through the plan for the Chinese military action! In addition, continue to send more manpower to search for the stolen gold. No, just put the blame on the Chinese!"

Tom Lamont received the order in high spirits, and immediately contacted him to order, and went to personally interview President Roosevelt about the relevant strategies.

U.S.Need an excuse to engage in war, no matter who it is against.As for the theft of gold in the United States, the biggest loser is the Morgan family.Not to mention that they are the major shareholders of the Federal Reserve, and they are also responsible for providing gold reserves and guarantees for the US finance. The gold that Zhu Bin took away is equivalent to poaching their corner!No one can bear it!

It has been going on for so long, and the evidence of the perpetrators has not been found, and the gold has not been recovered. If it is not possible, the conflict must be transferred to the outside. The Chinese... are a good target to send to your door!

Driven by the Morgan family, a storm surged rapidly, and it revolved around what Zhu Bin deliberately exposed, like a group of sharks that smelled blood. Regardless of whether the gold was taken by Zhu Bin or not, all they needed was An excuse for war!

This is not the only trouble in the world.During these four or five days, the entire financial market was in a mess. The Americans resolutely maintained the exchange rate of the US dollar and did not want to depreciate or appreciate it. They paid a price of no less than billions for this, and the final loss may be Tens of billions!For Americans who just survived the economic crisis in 1937 and have not recovered their blood, this is even worse!For Roosevelt, who was ambitious to seek a fourth re-election, it was a very shameless blow!In any case, it is impossible for the Americans to let the perpetrators go!

In Europe, after seven days of busy work, the Suez Canal finally cleared the mines and resumed smooth shipping. The British sent two Nelson-class battleships, two Vengeance-class battleships, plus two aircraft carriers, eight destroyers, and three cruisers. The "Oriental Fleet" passed through smoothly, working overtime and rushing towards Malacca. That gesture was a kind of madness to wash away shame!

In South America, the arrogant Germans were finally taught a lesson. The pocket battleship "Earl Spey", which sailed alone and broke the border, was found by the British search fleet at the mouth of the Platte River. The German warship was severely damaged and was trapped in a neutral port and could not enter or exit, while other German warships were too far away. Watching the British forcefully, Uruguay refused to provide maintenance services. The desperate captain Langsdorf On the 17th he ordered the scuttling of the battleship, and he himself committed suicide.

The victorious British swept away the shadows and trumpeted their victory. In the name of searching for German warships, they dragged their nets all over the southern Atlantic Ocean and checked the freighters one by one. The purpose is self-evident to find the stolen gold!

Judging by all indications, the time for gold to leave Britain was not long, and it could only be by shipping.During this period, there were only a few freighters who dared to wander the Atlantic Ocean. Apart from the British and French allied forces, only the Chinese who had not started the war had the courage to run this route, so the key suspects were them!

Finding a ship transporting gold on the sea is similar to finding a needle. Unless the British wanted to go to war, they did not dare to blatantly detain all Chinese ships. Target.

On the American side, the Atlantic Fleet, which has been inactive for a long time, formed a squadron of several battleships and aircraft carriers. They left the port under the name of escort, and quietly mixed in the British fleet all the way south, preparing to circumnavigate South America and sail to the Pacific Ocean. Pearl Harbor!

In Japan, fortunately, in the shipyard where the camouflaged target escaped the bombing attack, two preliminarily completed super battleships slipped out of the port in the dark! (To be continued. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
