Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 871 Weather Warfare

Guan Xuqing was very happy to hear this, and ordered: "Well, tell Kang Guangren to pay more attention to this young man in the future, and try to arrange as many opportunities for him to study with these scientists. It is best to arrange for Truss to be an assistant. Xiao Kaitai grows up as soon as possible, and can provoke the leader of the Chinese scientific invention team."

"Hey, don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhao Bingjun promised.

A month later, Guan Xuqing took Air Force One, accompanied by Zhao Bingjun, Kang Guangren, Pu Yin and others, to the Dome Laboratory in the Chiba Islands, and visited scientists from various countries working here. The first person he met was Tela s.

"Truss, we met again after a month. I'm here to disturb you again. How is it? Are you satisfied with the scientific research environment here?" Guan Xuqing felt like he hadn't seen him for many years when he saw Truss. Like an old friend of mine, he exchanged cordial greetings.

"Very good!" Tesla said: "The environment here is very good, I am very grateful for your care, but I still have a huge scientific research project, this laboratory is still too small, and my work cannot be fully carried out, so I It needs a wider space, and it will surprise you sooner or later.”

Guan Xuqing's smile immediately froze on his face. Tesla seems to have an alien civilization in his head, and his ideas are always different. Ever since he came to China, Guan Xuqing's demands on Tesla have never been different. It is all agreed without hesitation, and all departments must cooperate with Truss' experiments. It can be said that to a certain extent, Truss' status in the scientific community of the empire has surpassed the Wright Brothers and Einstein!It is precisely because of the all-round support that considerable financial and material resources have been spent on experiments in Telas. Today, the annual expenditure of the Dome Laboratory has reached the envy of scientists in laboratories in various countries due to the existence of Telas. 4000 million dragon coins.

Among them, Tesla's scientific research funds alone reached 500 million dragon coins. If Guan Xuqing knew that Tesla was a scientific madman, he was not greedy for money, and he was not lewd, and even used other people's coffee time for experiments. I really dare not squander such a huge amount of money on him.

Now, with the full support of the empire, Tesla is flourishing, asking for money and people, scientific fanaticism is rapidly heating up, and the research projects carried out are one after another, one is bigger than the other, and one is bigger than the other. Fei Qian was more and more incredible than the last. In just one month, his invention and creativity had stunned all the scientists in the vault laboratory!In the vault laboratory, if Tesla ranked second, no one would dare to rank first.

Guan Xuqing said, this guy is really a lunatic, he still thinks the laboratory has an area of ​​13 square meters too small?Should I buy a country for him to experiment with?However, Guan Xuqing also understands that no matter how much money is spent in the early stage, there must be returns. Anyway, the empire is not short of money now, and he also has the patience to wait. As long as he can receive returns in his lifetime for 5, 10, and 20 years, it will be fine. , Tesla's scientific research projects are all large-scale, requiring a lot of money and time, but once there is a return, it will be unimaginable.As long as Tesla's next project is worth doing, Guan Xuqing can even pay for Tesla's flowers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Boss! I heard that the empire is launching a war to open up territories, is that true?" Tesla asked.

Guan Xuqing nodded and said, "That's right, why are you asking this? You're not afraid! However, the flames of war will not spread to China."

Truss smiled and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. I was thinking, what can I do for you?"

Guan Xuqing smiled. It seemed that Truss really wanted to do something big for himself. "I am very interested in the Tunguska explosion. I have always wanted to know how you did it?"

Truss smiled mysteriously and said: "So you already know that I did it. It's very simple. I condensed a current of 600 million volts, and then made these currents appear in the sky over Tunguska in an instant. There are many complicated processes involved. Theoretical knowledge of electricity, I am not a very good explainer, so that is all I can say."

Guan Xuqing said in a deep voice, "If this 600 million volt lightning suddenly appeared in the capital of the Soviet Union, Britain, France, or the United States, what effect would it have?"

Truss was stunned for a while, and an inexplicable look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and asked, "You plan to turn it into a super weapon?"

"This kind of thing should not trouble you. Edison has expressed interest in this kind of weapon. Next, we will see who among you can succeed first."

Truss nodded and said: "I found that you are the only one in the world who believes that my inventions will benefit mankind, but everyone else says I am a devil. I think only war can let them know how powerful I am."

"I ask you which weapon is the most powerful in the world?" Guan Xuqing no longer had the slightest smile on his face when he said this, staring at the opponent's face.

Truss thought for a long time before saying: "I think the most powerful weapon is the atomic bomb?"

Guan Xuqing shook his head.

"Then maybe it's the hydrogen bomb."

Guan Xuqing shook his head again.

"Missile, it must be a missile!"

"No, let me tell you, it's natural disasters, such as lightning, earthquakes, floods, droughts, hailstorms, volcanic eruptions, etc. Human history has gone through millions of years, and science and technology have undergone fundamental changes, but so far , human beings are still so weak in the face of these natural disasters. Just imagine, whoever can control the occurrence of these natural disasters will destroy his enemies in an instant. The trend of future wars is not nuclear wars but weather stations. I believe that with your help Your superhuman ability can completely invent a weather controller to realize the dream of the empire. If I tell this idea to ordinary people, they will definitely think that I am dreaming, but only you in this world can turn my dream into a reality. become a reality."

Truss thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He was not a fool at all. He was awakened by the other party's words, and said eagerly: "I am now studying the transmission of atmospheric electricity. If the transmission of electromagnetic energy in nature If we calculate according to the law, we can completely study the method of transmitting energy in the air through wireless methods!"

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, expressing his approval of Telas's research direction. He was very aware of Telas's ability in electricity and magnetism, and he also knew that the opponent could research super weapons like this lightning storm.

"By the way, natural disasters, earthquakes and earthquakes." He suddenly turned to look at the Chinese emperor and said eagerly, "Yes, I can do it, but it takes time, and I need a lot of manpower and material resources."

"I'll give you whatever you want." Guan Xuqing immediately said.

Truss was as excited as a child. He hurriedly opened his worn-out bag, searched for the boss for a while, took out an old yellow hardcover book, flipped through a few pages, and ten words appeared in his mind. Experimental experience a few years ago.

One day in 1898, Truss was experimenting with a small electromechanical oscillator in the tube building at No. 46 East Houston Street in the United States. Without thinking, he installed the oscillator on an iron rod. Unexpectedly, the iron rod went from upstairs to the basement. in the sand.He flipped a switch and sat down in an upright chair to observe and record every bit of what happened.This machine really made him very happy, because as the vibration speed increased, one thing after another in the laboratory resonated.The equipment and furniture in the room suddenly shook.When he cranks up the frequency, the piece of equipment or furniture quiets down, but another thing that's in tune with the frequency will dance like crazy, and then another thing will follow.However, Truss never expected that the vibration generated by the oscillator was transmitted down the iron rod, and the power gradually increased, and spread in all directions through the lower buildings of Manhattan.The building shook, the doors and windows rattled, and the Italians and Chinese in the neighborhood rushed out of the house and poured into the street.

The Ulberg Street Police Department had long been suspicious of Tesla. This time it was quickly found out that there was no earthquake anywhere else in the city, and two officers were immediately sent to search the mad inventor.Truss, who at this time was unaware of the commotion surrounding the house, was just beginning to notice ominous vibrations in the floors and walls.He suddenly realized that the experiment must be stopped immediately, picked up a big hammer, and smashed the small oscillator to pieces.

The two police officers ran and rushed through the door, just as Tesla turned around and nodded politely to them, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, you happened to be one step late, otherwise you would have seen me with your own eyes." I had a sudden feeling that the experiment must be stopped immediately, so I interrupted it in an unusual way. However, if you can come tonight, I will definitely install another oscillator on this platform, and let you both stand on it and try it. Try it. I'm sure you'll like it, and it'll be a lot of fun and fun for you. But now you've got to go, because I've got a lot to do. Good night, gentlemen."

A few years later, he told his friend Alan Benson, who had done some other experiments with an oscillator no larger than an alarm clock, that he connected the oscillator to a two-foot-long, two-inch-thick on the steel connecting rod.

"For a long time nothing happened but at last the steel pole began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more violent, so that it expanded and contracted like a beating heart, and finally broke! The pole A steel rod can't be broken with a sledgehammer or a crowbar, but it can be broken with a small amount of force that can't scare a baby!"
