Chapter XXVIII
John's refusal without hesitation is undoubtedly cruel for a scientist.
In fact, John himself understands this very well, for example, if he, a surgeon, knows a more advanced surgical method that is less invasive to patients, he must do everything possible to observe it. The same is true for Mr. Higgs, who, as a physicist, was so eager to see the two experiments with his own eyes, but he didn't expect to be met with the rejection of the cold storage!
However, John did not apologize for what he had done.
The theory has been thrown, and it is conceivable that it will inevitably cause an uproar in the physics community at the end of the 19th century, especially since the emergence of electrons is equivalent to a complete rejection of the atomic theory, which will certainly attract many criticisms. It was with this in mind that John resolutely refused Higgs's request, and even his old friend Roentgen did not intend to give a direct reply. John's attitude was simple: I threw out the theory, but I didn't care about it.
There are so many talented physicists in this era that it is too simple to prove these theories.
After Mr. Higgs left disappointed, John frowned and thought for a long time, and then called Miss Helen, the secretary of the telephone, and called: "From today onwards, all visitors who claim to be physicists will be directly received by you, and then tell them euphemistically that I have no time to discuss physics with them......"
……
“……”
John knew that his face must be very unsightly.
I just explained to my secretary in the hospital and asked her to refuse all physicists to visit, and as soon as she got home, she ushered in another physicist, but this big bull is still something he can't refuse, how can this not be very depressing?
"What the hell are you a monster?"
Looking at John with a tangled face, Tesla asked strangely, "If it's just radioactivity, it's just that." After all, X-rays are also discovered by you, and the two are similar in a sense, but this electron ...... How the hell did you come up with the idea? ”
"Ahem! It's just speculation. ”
Unable to help but blush, John quickly explained.
"Hehe, is it just a guess?"
With a raised brow, Tesla's eyes suddenly narrowed: "After seeing your paper." I completed the experiment you described as quickly as possible, and with an electric field applied, the cathode rays were significantly deflected......"
"Uh......"
While listening to Tesla's words, John smiled wryly.
Unlike the poor Columbia physics professor, and even Professor Roentgen, who is now famous in Europe, Tesla is no ordinary physicist. Of course, this is not to say that Tesla's strength in this area must be much stronger than others, but because this physics guru is indeed a rich man! The dividends from the power company and Motorola were enough to make him the richest man in New York City. The lab's state-of-the-art facilities and abundant funding allowed him to complete all the experiments he was interested in – and it couldn't have been easier to test John's theory.
After being silent for a long time, John could only smile bitterly: "I'm also lucky, I usually do a few physics experiments occasionally to change my brain, but I didn't expect to make these discoveries!" ”
"Uh......"
Hearing John's words, it was Tesla's turn to be speechless.
If he was a surgeon, Tesla really wanted to open John's head and take a look. What the hell is this guy's brain? He knew that the other party's mind had always been on medicine, and he had already achieved very amazing results. It's certainly not a lie to do a few physics experiments once in a while. But with such a simple interest, you can find these amazing discoveries?
Isn't this a naked slap in the face for a physicist like Tesla?
“…… All right! ”
Seeing Tesla's puzzled face, it seemed that he continued to ask what he meant, John hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tesla, no matter what you think." All I can say is that these findings are really occasional conclusions, and the two papers are purely my personal speculation! If you're interested, you can try to look into it, but don't ask me for help or discuss it...... You also know that medical schools have just been established. I have a lot of things to do, but I don't have this time! ”
"Huh?"
Like Professor Higgs, Tesla was stunned when he heard this.
"That's it, you don't have to say more."
Before Tesla wanted to open his mouth, John waved his hand again and said, "But Mr. Tesla, I still hope that you will focus on the research and development of power equipment and radio equipment, we need more efficient generators, and I also hope that you can find a way to convert electromagnetic signals into sound as soon as possible......"
……
"What did you come up with again? What makes Mr. Tesla so excited? ”
After the depressed Tesla left, the elder Huntelaar walked up to John and asked. Just now Tesla shouted excitedly, even the old Huntelaar in the other room heard it, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Nothing, just two physics experiments."
After hesitating for a moment, John couldn't help but say with a wry smile. Old Huntelaar was a pure businessman, at most sensitive to new technologies and things, and it was a bit too difficult to explain the "cutting-edge technology" of radioactivity and electronics.
But even if he didn't understand, it didn't prevent the old man from being interested in John's so-called experiment, and immediately asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Oh? Is there a new product invented? ”
For his grandson, old Huntelaar really knows too well.
From the very beginning of the bicycle, tungsten light bulb, to the back of the car and radio, almost everything will bring huge benefits to the Huntelaar family, even the inconspicuous battery, now with the second generation of Aurora using car lighting, and the rapid development of the power industry, it has also begun to show its power!
So every one of John's experiments intrigued old Huntelaar.
"Uh......"
Looking at his grandfather's interested expression, John's expression couldn't help but darken.
For physics, radioactivity and electrons are of course extremely important, and it can even be said that they will have a huge impact on the future of mankind. For example, radioactivity may involve many aspects such as medical care and the nuclear industry in the future, but for now, it is only a direction for countless physicists, and economic interests are ......
You're thinking too much, old man!
As soon as John explained, old Huntelaar's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and he waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, you must be right not to continue to bother with it!" Forget about Tesla, it's better to invent a few more new drugs when you have that time, and France has forced Taylor to cut their prices......"
