“…… She must be beautiful, right? ”

Sitting in a chair in the shade of a tree, Emma looked down at her long dress and whispered. Although the long skirt covered everything below the waist, out of the corner of John's eyes, he could still see that Emma's feet were kicking the ground, and the force was getting stronger and stronger.

"Yes, Anna is indeed beautiful."

John smiled bitterly in his heart, but nodded without hesitation.

No matter how dull he was about feelings, John had to confirm Emma's problem at this point. He wasn't sure if it was true love between a man and a woman, or a continuation of his youthful friendship, but it was clear that Emma was very sensitive to his engagement, which made John feel mixed - a little pride, more annoyance.

For Emma, who can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, John really has no love between men and women at all.

The two were only twelve or thirteen years old when they met, even if Emma was already quite beautiful at that time, but with an adult soul, he could not like a girl of that age, and after two years of getting along, John treated her as his own sister. However, John, who doesn't care much about these things, doesn't notice how attractive he is to women of the same age around him!

Whether in the East or in the West, teenage girls have begun to understand feelings.

Maybe Emma didn't know what love was at that time, but she already had enough discernment to judge the charm of men. John is tall and handsome, and already has the innate conditions to attract Emma. And more importantly, whether it is the invention of the light bulb and the bicycle, or the maturity that comes out of dealing with these things, it has a fatal attraction for teenage girls! Coupled with John's achievements in Europe in the past five years, Emma is even more excited.

Merely......

Five years of time and a wide Atlantic Ocean. Enough to change many things.

At this time, hearing John praise his fiancée without hesitation, Emma was naturally extremely disappointed. It's not necessarily the pain of falling out of love, but for a girl who has just turned eighteen, the news of John's engagement is like someone else stealing her beloved toy, and it must be uncomfortable.

John also knew this.

So after thinking about it. John smiled and said softly, "Emma, if nothing else, Anna may come to New York next year, and I hope you two can become good friends by then...... She doesn't have any friends in New York! ”

Emma didn't immediately respond to John's words.

After a long time, the girl's little head hung lower, and her feet seemed to stomp on the ground hard, and then an inaudible voice came out: "Well, I will......"

……

John had planned to take Steve with him to visit the hospital under construction on the second day of the party, but when old Huntelaar mentioned a man's name. He immediately dismissed the idea.

The next morning, the Huntelaar family welcomed another guest.

"John, this is Nikolai. Mr. Tesla. ”

After the guests arrived, the elder Huntelaar immediately introduced the identity of the other party to his grandson. Compared with the skepticism when he first met Tesla two years ago, and the dissatisfaction after cooperating with the other party, the old Huntelaar is now much more enthusiastic about the scientist and inventor.

"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar."

"Good morning, Mr. Tesla."

After the introduction of old Huntelaar is over. The two men who had never met before, but who had been friends for a long time, immediately clasped their right hands, and their eyes flashed with excitement almost at the same time!

For John. Tesla's name is like thunder!

When he was in school, he only knew that there was such a physics unit as Tesla, but the reputation of this big bull was far from that of Edison and Newton. But in the age of the Internet, especially after he fell in love with online novels, John saw the name more and more - in many books, the scientist who eventually died was almost mythologized. is portrayed as a God who can do almost anything! Therefore, even though he has seen many celebrities after crossing over, John is still a little excited in his heart today.

For Tesla, the excitement of meeting John was not even below!

Needless to say, bamboo light bulbs and bicycles, these Tesla all knew that John invented them. But there were also tungsten light bulbs and new batteries that the elder Huntelaar had shown him, and these inventions surprised Tesla – not the inventions themselves. Rather, their inventor turned out to be a teenager who lived in the ancient country of the East for the first ten years of his life, which was almost a scientific desert!

There is no doubt that this kid is a super genius!

So in the case of never meeting each other, a real super genius and a pseudo super genius are full of yearning and anticipation for the day they meet......

……

“…… Building a terminal network for the generation, transmission and use of alternating current will be a very large project! ”

When explaining to John the results of his current research, Tesla's emotions became obviously high-pitched: "So far, we have basically completed all the technical reserves, and the only thing we lack is money - a lot of money!" Although the alternating current technology is obviously more practical than Edison's direct current, it is also more expensive, which is not at all what our company can cope with now......"

"In other words, we're putting in too little, aren't we?"

Tapping lightly on the arm of the chair, John asked thoughtfully.

As for the current situation of the company that the two sides are working with, John has long learned the specific information from the mouth of the old Huntelaar. In the past two years or so, the elder Huntelaar has injected nearly $500,000 into the company, which is called Newton Power, in addition to Tesla's research, mainly to buy a large number of related patents. Although Tesla has a great reputation in the field of alternating current in history, in fact, this has never been something that can be done by one person, and in 1887 there were many people who were researching alternating current and applied for many patents. For example, Tesla's collaborator after leaving Edison, the well-known Westinghouse, is a leader in this field.

Half a million dollars, an astronomical amount in this day and age!

But what is clear is that for the construction of a real power supply system, 500,000 US dollars is really not a lot, not to mention Edison's power company, even the current Westinghouse Electric strength is much stronger than Newton Power. So there was a time when the old Huntelaar had a very big opinion on this investment, and if it wasn't for John's insistence on Tesla's name, I'm afraid this investment would have been forcibly terminated by the old man.

However, after two difficult years, Newton Power Company finally saw the dawn of success!

It is precisely because he saw that with the efforts of Tesla and many technicians, Newton Electric Power Company has the strength to build a real power supply system, and also let the old Huntelaar see the hope of receiving returns, so after returning to New York this time, his attitude towards Tesla has obviously improved - as a senior successful businessman, the old Huntelaar knows very well which people are worthy of his own attention!

"Keep investing......"

Looking at Tesla's face full of anticipation, John suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

In terms of interests, investing in Tesla's research will naturally not suffer, and no one will know better than John the application prospects of alternating current. But at the same time, he also knows how much money is needed to become bigger and stronger in this field!

With the current strength of the Huntelaar family, I am afraid it is impossible to cope with it.

Of course, if John goes all out, there will be no problem, but let's not forget that his main development is not in this direction, and it is impossible to put all the power on Tesla!

"Looks like we'll have to find another way."

After thinking about it again and again, John took a deep breath and smiled: "Mr. Tesla, I roughly understand what you mean, now there is a mention, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?" ”

……

AC or something, I didn't understand the information after checking it for a long time, and then I will fool the past, don't take it seriously, haha. (To be continued......)
