PS: In this chapter, I would like to thank the enthusiastic book friend "Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao" for his suggestion

After the cases of Sheng Xuanmin and Sheng Debiao were tried in public in accordance with the law, Song Xiaofei issued a presidential decree: No one, including leading cadres of the Ba'ath Party, shall interfere in judicial adjudication, and the courts and procuratorates at all levels will be separated from the local government, and the financial budget will be examined and approved by the central government, and no longer take money from local governments, thus achieving independence for the first time in China's history. People's confidence in governing the country according to law has increased greatly, and the student movement has gradually subsided.

Approaching the Spring Festival, Song Xiaofei was going to visit some big scientists who served China as usual. In 1910, Song Xiaofei went to visit Nikolai from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Tesla, he was poached from the United States to China by Xi Muyan in 1903 and became a Chinese citizen. China entered a new era of alternating current in 1905, and Tesla contributed a lot. China's towering power poles, the wires that carry power to distant cities, and every power station, every generator and electric motor are monuments to Tesla.

When Song Xiaofei went to see Tesla, he took his son Yuan Keren with him. In the black car, Yuan Keren asked: "I heard that the Tesla that my father is going to see is worth the five group armies of the United States?" ”

Song Xiaofei shook his head and said, "You said too little, Tesla is a great man and genius forgotten by the world. The value of Tesla, I will not change fifty American armies. Tesla was able to come to China, and Edison, a despicable and shameless snob, contributed a lot, and we have to thank him. Son, with Tesla, the scientific community of the twentieth century. It will be us Chinese. The 20th century will be the century of China! No, even the XXI century. It will also be the century of the Chinese! I will be able to carry out democratic reform with peace of mind! ”

Yuan Keren asked: "Edison, is the great inventor who invented the electric light?" Who is more powerful than Edison or Tesla? ”

Song Xiaofei remembered Tesla's inventions in history: Tesla coils, alternating current motorcycles, waterfall power generation, wireless communications, and solar energy systems. Imagine radar installations, robots, dead light. The inventions and discoveries of lie detectors and electromagnetic radio frequency weapons surpassed the scientific and technological eras of the time, and some theories could not be perfectly answered by even the most advanced science and technology in the 21 st century. Tesla's character is also good. If he hadn't given up the patent for alternating current, it would have been free for the world to use ($2.53 per horsepower). Then he would be the richest man in the world. Song Xiaofei patted Yuan Keren on the shoulder and said to his son: "Edison is not worth one toe of Tesla!" Strictly speaking, Edison was less like a scientist and more like a businessman who loved to apply for patents, and when he invented the electric light, he only improved the filament on the basis of his predecessors. However, his persecution of Tesla brought us Tesla. Time will tell, and it will be a misfortune for the Americans! ”

Song Xiaofei knew. The reason why Tesla was "removed" from the history of science was because he opposed the theory of relativity, adhered to the traditional view of physics, and was incompatible with the flourishing atomic physics at that time. However, the main reason is that in order to realize his most ambitious ambition and realize the global wireless transmission power revolution, the Wordencliffor Radio Tower was built, and then Marconi took the lead and preemptively achieved radio commercial success, so Tesla's plan was stillborn, and he owed a debt to the investor Morgan, who ordered all school textbooks in the United States to delete Tesla's name with his economic and political skills. It wasn't until later, in recognition of his practical contributions to the alternating current system, that the International Electrotechnical Commission named the SI system of units for magnetic induction strength Tesla.

Yuan Keren is a little skeptical of Tesla's ability, according to the information provided by Xi Muyan, Tesla is a rare experimental generalist in the world, and he has patents in mechanical and electrical engineering, radio engineering, fluid engineering, cryogenic engineering, geophysics, vacuum technology, and aircraft technology. Song Xiaofei told his son the story of Tesla and how he came to China.

Xi Muyan's intelligence shows that Tesla was born in Croatia on July 9, 1856, when it was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Tesla's senses, like a hunting dog, have been particularly keen. During his childhood, Tesla was woken up several times at night by the sound of burning, thus saving his neighbor from a house that had been hit by fire. He could hear the ticking of his watch from three rooms; A fly landed on the table, causing a roar in his ears; The carriage passed miles away, and he felt a tremor all over his body; In order to have peace, he needs to put a rubber cushion under the bed. Tesla claims that whenever someone hurts a loved one in a particular way, he develops a feeling that he calls "cosmic pain." For example, when Tesla's sister Angelina was seriously ill, Tesla sensed it and sent a telegram from New York: "Angelina appeared in front of my eyes, and then disappeared. I don't think it's good. ”

When Tesla was nine years old, he experimented with electricity production for the first time using an original method. It's a generator powered by 16 bugs. He nailed together two thin pieces of wood as thick as toothpicks in the shape of a cross, like the arms of a windmill. The intersection of two thin pieces of wood is glued to a shaft made of another thin piece of wood. He mounted a small pulley the size of a pea on this shaft. A wire goes around this small pulley, but also around another larger, lighter pulley on the shaft, allowing the wire to act as a transmission belt. The machine is powered by 16 maybugs. Tesla used a little glue to fix the four bugs to the arms of the windmill, pointing in the same direction. If the wing-flapping insect is not fixed, it can fly at high speed. However, because they are glued to thin pieces of wood, they can only flap their wings quickly. They are connected to a wire wound around a large pulley, which allows the pulley to rotate at low speeds.

In 1875, at the age of 19, Tesla studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Graz in Austria. As an adult, Tesla grew tall and thin – tall is a family trait as well as a national trait. When he was an adult. The height is 1.88 meters. Despite his slender stature, he is well-proportioned. But his hands, especially the thumbs. It looks particularly long.

In 1878, he left Graz and went to Maribor, Slovenia, where he became an assistant engineer. In 1883, at the age of twenty-seven, Tesla joined Edison Continental in Strasbourg, realized his desire to become an engineer, and successfully designed the first model of an induction motor.

Out of worship of the great inventor Edison. In 1884, at the age of 28, Tesla came to New York to work in Edison's laboratory. Tesla's former boss, Charles Murphy. Batchelor writes to Thomas. Edison's letter of recommendation said, "I know that there are two great people in this world, and you are one of them. The other is the young man in front of you. ”

Edison was initially dismissive of the mustachioed young man, and there was a serious disagreement between the two of them. Edison was a man who was practice-oriented and invented through experience; Tesla was the kind of person who paid attention to theory, and he thought Edison's approach was very stupid. He believes that experiments must be based on theoretical evidence. Instead of doing more than 1,000 stupid attempts with just one filament, as Edison did. In the beginning, he only asked Tesla to do some simple motor design. After a year of work, Tesla told his boss Edison, "I can improve the car and the generator!" ”

Edison laughed and said, "Really? Don't brag, you've been designing generators, and if you can suggest any improvements, I'll give you fifty thousand dollars. ”

At that time, $50,000 could buy a mansion in New York, which was not a small amount. As a result, three months later. Tesla went to the boss with an improved motor.

Edison didn't keep his promise, but ridiculed Tesla: "You European." I don't understand American humor. ”

The young Tesla resigned in anger and formed his own company: Tesla Electric Light and Electrical Manufacturing Company. But it wasn't long before he and investors went out because of a disagreement over the direction of the company. The year afterward, Tesla was forced to dig trenches to make a living.

In fact, Tesla's dream is to provide the world with an inexhaustible source of energy. Back in 1880, Tesla invented the world's first alternating current generator. In order to promote the DC generator he invented, Edison tried his best to suppress Tesla and make him impoverished.

He firmly believes that alternating current will one day make the supply of electricity wider and less costly. Edison was dismissive of this assumption and was reluctant to give it serious consideration. After leaving Edison, Tesla got George . Westinghouse's support has finally brought alternating current to practical use. In 1888, Tisla succeeded in building an alternating current power transmission system. He designed generators that were simpler and more flexible than DC generators, and his transformers solved the problems inherent in long-distance power transmission. This undoubtedly dealt a big blow to the direct current that Edison vigorously promoted.

Since Edison was making a lot of money on DC generators at the time, he was reluctant to do other research. Edison still realized that alternating current could reduce costs, and there was no doubt that attacking alternating current from an economic point of view would inevitably end in failure. So, he made a fuss about other aspects of alternating current. He recognized that in the final part of the 19th century, there was a public fear of electricity: while electricity could bring benefits to humanity, it could also kill. Therefore, publicizing the dangers of coercion is the most effective way to confuse the public's mind. As a result, Edison published a pamphlet entitled "Beware," in which he detailed the alleged dangers of alternating current, and described its use as incredibly "wasteful." Edison also published an article in the North American Weekly titled "The Dangers of Electric Light," attacking the use of alternating current. "A lighting company with which I keep in touch recently bought a patent for a whole alternating current system," he said. I protested against this, and the contents were recorded in the company's memorandum. So far, I have succeeded in convincing them not to promote such a system to the public, and today they will not do so even if I agree to do so. ”

In addition to overwhelming the other side in public opinion, in order to prove his arguments, Edison also built a huge laboratory, hired elementary school students to go to the street to catch cats, dogs and other livestock for experiments, and cruelly electrocuted them under alternating current. He also bribed officials at the New York State Penitentiary to promise to change the hanging to electrocution, that is, to electrocution using alternating current provided by Tesla's patent. On August 6, 1890, a murderer, William. Kemmler died in an alternating current chair in Auburn. Due to inexperience. The electrical charge used by the New York State prison authorities was so weak that the prisoner was only half electrocuted. According to media reports at the time, such a horrific sight. Much more terrible than hanging. Since then, alternating current has caused great fear in the minds of many people, and it has become synonymous with death, and Tesla's reputation has plummeted.

But Tesla is truly a true genius! The bulb didn't have any wires attached, it just lit up when you held it in your hand. As early as May 20, 1891, Tesla made his first demonstration of this classic at the evening meeting of Columbia College, the American Institute of Electrical Engineering. 1901 year. Destituent, Tesla pleaded for help in building a tower on Long Island, New York, to conduct experiments on transatlantic radio broadcasting and radio power transmission. Tesla eventually persuaded Morgan, a billionaire at the time, to solicit $150,000 in funding. In fact, Morgan was only interested in Tesla's commercial value, and he believed that Tesla would be able to use the project to enable wireless communication. Eventually, Tesla built a 187-foot-tall tower. The tower is topped by a hemispherical dome with a diameter of 68 feet. Before the tower was finished, Tesla couldn't wait to start his experiments. On June 15, 1903, his transmitter was tested at full capacity. The experiment was conducted precisely at midnight. That night, the citizens of New York witnessed events that heralded a bright future for science. Countless dazzling beams of electricity that stretch for hundreds of miles connect Worden Crevert Tower to the sky.

But because Marconi, another scientist, succeeded in completing the transatlantic radio transmission experiment before Tesla, Morgan stopped funding Tesla's experiment. In 1903, JPMorgan Chase ran out of $150,000 for his investment, and Tesla fell into financial crisis. Later, American newspapers reported that Tesla suddenly left all the work at hand and left the laboratory for unknown reasons. He never returned, and he didn't take any calculations, drawings, documents, or even a piece of paper from the lab. Because at this time. Xi Muyan found him and promised him a research grant of $500,000. The condition is to become a Chinese citizen and become an academician of the National Academy of Sciences of China.

Tesla's love is dedicated to the world rather than playing for a specific country, so he came to China. Song Xiaofei gave Tesla the 4.3838 square kilometers of Diaoyu Dao as an experimental base, and also sent many Chinese scientists to assist Tesla.

In 1910, Song Xiaofei, as China's head of state, landed on the Diaoyu Islands for the first time to visit Tesla. Tan Sitong, director of the Chinese National Defense Ordnance Bureau, who accompanied him, also reminded Song Xiaofei and Yuan Keren: "Tesla is a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. He has an extreme aversion to pearls and other people's hair, is severely allergic to camphor and peaches, does not like shaking hands, and has a special preference for the number 3. He often walks around the block three times before entering a building. He asked for 18 napkins to wipe the dishes at a time...... He often sleeps only two hours a day. ”

When we arrived at Tesla's experimental base, the laboratory was full of pigeons. Yuan Keren asked what was going on? Tan Sitong laughed and said: "These pigeons are Tesla's lovers. Tesla had a well-known special hobby - feeding pigeons in public. No matter how busy he is, he goes out every day to feed the pigeons. If he really doesn't have time to feed the pigeons, he will pay someone else to feed the pigeons himself. ”

Song Xiaofei waited for three hours, and Tesla finished the experiment before he saw Tesla himself. Song Xiaofei asked him what he had been working on lately. Tesla replied succinctly: "Light of peace!" ”

Tan Sitong explained that Tesla hated war very much, and during World War I, his wise mind gave a very new weapon design principle, which he himself called "Light of Peace", because this weapon is used for border defense, which can effectively prevent aggression, avoid war, and maintain world peace.

Tesla himself explained at this time that the "dead light" is based on a new concept of physics, the diameter of the beam is only one billionth of a centimeter, invisible and intangible, but it can quickly destroy the invading aircraft at a distance of nearly 400 kilometers, and the voltage used by the concentrated particle beam is as high as 50 million volts, which can kill millions of people in one blow! This weapon is very effective against armored vehicles, tanks, etc., for example, an infantry player with this weapon can destroy all the soldiers in the tank with a single blow, but the tank can not be damaged because the weapon will go straight through the conductive casing. A soldier with such a weapon in his hand could simply deal with thousands of tanks. Not only can the light pass through the steel plates and armored vehicles of tanks, through dugouts and pillboxes, as well as through any fortifications, foxholes will not help. The person who was touched was like a fluffy bag that immediately lay down, without any struggle or reaction, the entire nervous system was destroyed in an instant, and every cell on the body died at the same time in an instant, including the bacteria on the body. And for 30 to 45 days, the body will not decompose.

When Song Xiaofei heard it, this "dead light" was too scary! If it is really developed, it will be 10,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb. So, Song Xiaofei called Tan Feitong aside and said, "I have sent a fleet to block the waters of Diaoyu Island. China strongly supports Tesla's related experiments, but it must be strictly confidential. No trace of information about 'Dead Light' is allowed to be leaked. If there is any change, immediately notify the Ministry of National Defense, blow up the relevant laboratories, and if necessary, blow up and sink the Diaoyu Islands. ”

Tan Yutong nodded and said, "Understood!" (To be continued......)
