Tesla was arranged to leave the United States on a special plane of the Tang Empire, and his hatred for the United States deepened.
Zhang Meng assured him that as long as he wanted to do research, Zhang Meng would give his full support. In this way, Tesla decided to do his best for the Tang Empire in his later years.
Of course, Zhang Meng can't let Tesla study everything. Although it is theoretically possible to have research, in practice, industrial technology cannot keep up with it, and it cannot be manufactured at all. Once he dies, if there is no heir or the heir's strength is not as good as Tesla's ability to support his scientific research project, then Zhang Meng's money will be wasted, and the loss will definitely be heavy.
Therefore, Zhang Meng temporarily set a hard direction for Tesla, one is to allow Tesla to set up a national laboratory in the Tang Empire, and he serves as the dean and is responsible for training students as a reserve force. The second is to allow Tesla to continue to develop electromagnetic particle beam weapons, bladeless turbines, radio energy transmission systems, etc.
These are the technologies that can be used in the future, among which the electromagnetic particle beam weapon system is representative of the electromagnetic orbital kinetic energy cannon, which is the key technology of the battleship to re-enter the historical stage, and its electromagnetic derivative technology will also bring earth-shaking changes to the entire social life, human beings will enter the era of electromagnetic appliances, and the future electromagnetic patent research and development and registration in advance will add countless wealth to the future of the Tang Empire.
One of the technologies of bladeless turbines that uses liquid stagnation will be used in the long-lasting endurance and silence of future ships and submarines, and its low cost and high efficiency are incomparable to those of bladed turbines. Zhang Meng knows that Tesla is only unable to find high-strength disk materials suitable for bladeless turbines, which Zhang Meng is not worried about, he knows the materials that Tesla needs, and he is already planning in his heart. In addition, wind stagnation technology can also be derived on this basis, which can be used to replace wind power stations, with an efficiency increase of 90% and a noise reduction of 95%, which is absolutely important for the current power demand construction of the Tang Empire, because the Tang Empire does not have too many places to build thermal power stations, and efficient wind power generation will become the best solution to replace thermal power stations before the emergence of nuclear power plants.
As for the wireless energy transmission system, Zhang Meng knew that during the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, both sides secretly developed a meteorological weapon system, relying on this wireless energy transmission system to interfere with and control lightning clouds, hurricane clouds, and even magnetic resonance systems to cause tsunamis and earthquakes. If he doesn't want to be blackmailed by the United States and the Soviet Union with this weather weapon in the future, Zhang Meng must have this technology himself, and at least maintain the lowest counterattack deterrence, otherwise he will be bullied to death.
The third clause of Zhang Meng's agreement with Tesla is to ask Tesla to carry out nuclear physics research, Zhang Meng knows that Tesla has terminated the program because nuclear physics research is too inhumane, but now it is different, Tesla has hatred in his heart, Zhang Meng believes that after his persuasion and telling Tesla the basic principles of nuclear weapons he knows, Tesla should not be difficult to develop nuclear weapons.
Of course, the development of nuclear weapons is not a one-man affair, and Zhang Meng has to go to various parts of the world to dig into the walls on a large scale.
Fortunately, Zhang Meng caught up with the global economic crisis of 1929, which was a nightmare for all countries in the world, but for Zhang Meng and his Tang Empire, it was a good opportunity to drop pie in the sky.
Zhang Meng is deeply aware that the Tang Empire is located in a remote location and lacks the necessary resources for the development of industrial countries, so whether the Tang Empire can gain a foothold in the world in the future depends on science and technology.
One Tesla is not enough to support the entire Datang Empire's science and technology building, so Zhang Meng also needs a large number of scientific and technological personnel to fill the future Datang Empire's national science and technology laboratory strength.
To this end, Zhang Meng asked Zhang Wei, the foreign minister of the Tang Empire, to take advantage of the opportunity to set up embassies in various countries and under the pretext of promoting friendship with other countries, to get close to the elite scientists of various countries and carry out a plan to buy and abduct them.
However, since the Tang Empire is still a small and weak country, those big-name scientists shook their heads when they heard it. No matter how generous the conditions are, they basically ignore them. Even if a few people agree to work for the National Science Laboratory of the Tang Empire, they are required to work in their respective countries and resolutely not go to the Tang Empire. They only planned to get the sponsorship funds given to them by Zhang Meng, stepping on two boats, and they didn't really want to go to the Tang Empire.
In this regard, Zhang Meng has long been mentally prepared.
He's not in a hurry at all!
That's right, seeing that the global economic crisis is about to break out, when hundreds of thousands of companies and factories will close down, tens of millions of unemployed people, even scientific research units in various countries will inevitably be affected, and government funding for scientific and technological research and development will inevitably be greatly reduced or even canceled, and these elite scientists will inevitably find a way out everywhere.
Zhang Meng knew that the reason for the rapid rise of the Soviet Union was that it took advantage of the global economic crisis to import technology and talents from Europe and the United States on a large scale, which laid the foundation for the rise of the Soviet Union as a superpower in the middle and late stages of World War II.
Compared with the Soviet Union, European and American countries are hostile to the Soviet Union because of ideological issues, so the Soviet Union can rise rapidly only in such a situation, so Zhang Meng is confident that he will use this economic crisis to quickly develop and grow the Tang Empire, after all, Zhang Meng included the Tang Empire into the British Commonwealth at the beginning, which is also his little cleverness, and European and American countries do not have the technology and talent blockade of the Tang Empire.
For the Tang Empire, this will be an unprecedented opportunity to drop pie in the sky.
Seeing that it is October, Zhang Meng is ready to make a huge amount of money when the US economic crisis breaks out. And the reason why he started to negotiate cooperation with these elites from Europe and the United States now is mainly because Zhang Meng wants to occupy a seat before the Soviets, so that when the economic crisis breaks out and these elites have no way out, they will be the first to think of Zhang Meng, and then Zhang Meng can get these elites and talents to the Tang Empire without much effort.
Of course, Zhang Meng is also racing against time now, after all, if you want to get these elite talents to the Tang Empire, it will not work if you can't provide hardware infrastructure.
At present, the three cities of the Tang Empire, Chang'an, Yanjing and Jinling, have all started large-scale urban planning, but they are still the most basic operations, such as only laying foundations for buildings, only marking roads, and filling ditches in industrial parks, because Zhang Meng is still waiting for cement, steel, timber, bricks, water pipes and other means of production required for the construction of the Tang Empire after the outbreak of the economic crisis to reduce the price on a large scale or even give away at a low price, so Zhang Meng will save hundreds of millions of dollars in material expenditure.
This is not a small amount, so Zhang Meng, who is in charge, can only make careful calculations and wait patiently.
In addition to the construction of urban infrastructure, other aspects are also due to this reason, for example, the underground project of Yanjing Fortress has been completed, but the installation of fortress artillery on the ground project has been delayed by Zhang Meng for a month, the reason is also to wait for this economic crisis to break out, and then he can buy back the giant naval guns he needs with less money.
Military facilities are the most important thing that Zhang Meng is most concerned about, and although he waited for the economic crisis to break out, the procurement of some military equipment could not be completed in a day or two. For example, the naval base built by Zhang Meng requires the purchase of warships, but negotiations with the supplier and the military of the country that purchased it will take time, and it will take a lot of time for people to start negotiating details such as design, construction, and delivery after they agree.
Therefore, when Zhang Meng started the construction of various military facilities, he had to look for the weapons and equipment he liked as early as possible and negotiate with the suppliers in advance.
