Does Nikola Tesla need fame?

The answer is yes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A lot of people like to measure everything in terms of materialism, whether it's a person or a thing, in essence, that's true, a saint also needs fame to spread his ideas, if it's a beggar on the street, I'm afraid no one is interested in listening to what he has to say.

But for Nikola Tesla, fame and fortune alone are clearly not enough.

Reputation, Nikola Tesla is not lacking, as early as 20 years ago, Nikola Tesla has been famous all over the world, since Nikola Tesla won the battle between AC and DC, few people in the field of science and technology can question Nikola Tesla, so the reputation Nikola Tesla is really not lacking.

As for profits, it is better to understand that no matter what reason Nikola Tesla gave up the patent on alternating current, if Nikola Tesla wants to make money, it is not too easy to make a fortune with his more than 700 invention patents.

is still the same sentence, once the sea was difficult to water.

So after listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Nikola Tesla was silent for a long time: "No-I don't want to be famous--I just want to do something to push our technology forward." ”

Tsk, listening to the tone of others, Qin Zhiyuan, as a king, didn't dare to say this casually.

This is not a lie, Nikola Tesla obviously has this qualification, so Qin Zhiyuan is convinced.

"Okay, if you need the cooperation of the government in some way, you are welcome, just kick it out, I will equip you with a logistics team, and they will be responsible for coordinating and meeting all your requirements as much as possible." Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to promise all the requirements now, to be honest, such a Nikola Tesla made Qin Zhiyuan feel a little terrifying.

How to say it, people who carry all the banners of "greatness, light, and righteousness" do not all do things by means of "greatness, light, and righteousness", even if they are ultimately for the purpose of "greatness, light, and righteousness".

For example, Nikola Tesla, a person who has gone beyond the scope of secular social understanding, what Nikola Tesla wants to do is to "promote human progress", so if Nikola Tesla makes some excessive demands, will Qin Zhiyuan agree or not?

Don't think it's impossible.

Think about the mustache in World War II, when the mustache carried out the "genocide", it was also under the banner of "pure human blood", if the mustache succeeded, then everything he did would be ignored by everyone like what the Americans did to the Indians, but the mustache failed, so until the twenty-first century, the Germans are still reflecting.

Qin Zhiyuan also wants to establish a unified society dominated by Chinese, but Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not use the means of "genocide", which goes beyond Qin Zhiyuan's bottom line.

Qin Zhiyuan equipped Nikola Tesla with a logistics team is one of Lan Fang's preferential conditions for treating top scientists, Sandy and Fritz Haber They both have a logistics group, this logistics group includes housekeepers, drivers, cooks, gardeners, life secretaries, security personnel, etc., in short, a large group of people around a person to serve.

Nikola Tesla is estimated to have had such treatment in the United States, so this is not surprising, but Nikola Tesla also has his own requirements: "I hope to transfer Ultraman over, this is one of the few acquaintances I have in Lanfang." ”

"Countless and not many", this is a more polite statement, to be more precise, it should be "only".

"No problem, do you have any assistants in the United States, or people who are more concerned, if so, I can invite them to Lanfang in the same way." Qin Zhiyuan immediately agreed, this can be had.

Regarding this "concerned person", it is obvious that Qin Zhiyuan is still a little gossip. Qin Zhiyuan knew that Nikola Tesla had never married, but Qin Zhiyuan really found it hard to believe that a person could be pure in heart and have few desires to this extent.

Generally speaking, ability and desire are directly proportional, the greater a person's ability, then the greater the desire, this "desire" not only includes physiological, but also psychological, it is precisely because of the insatiable spirit, so as to promote the continuous progress of human beings.

This passage is definitely not derogatory.

"No, I'm used to doing research independently." Nikola Tesla was still innocent and didn't hear the ridicule in Qin Zhiyuan's words.

Scientists have some unknown habits, and it is estimated that "independent research" is one of Nikola Tesla's habits, Qin Zhiyuan is not surprised, and even Qin Zhiyuan believes that this is Nikola Tesla's ridicule of Edison.

In terms of the number of patents, Edison's patents are not much less than those of Nikola Tesla, but most of Edison's patents were researched by the Edison Institute, not by Edison, which is like a professor leading a student in the twentieth century, no matter what paper the student makes, the professor himself must be the first author.

Doesn't that sound a bit outrageous?

No, it's not Edison's original, after all, those people work in Edison's lab, and it's normal that everything that works during working hours should belong to the workplace.

However, Nikola Tesla obviously doesn't think so, which is also because Nikola Tesla's personal ability is too strong, and it is difficult to imagine that a person like Nikola Tesla will be subservient to others for a long time.

"So as for the direction of your work, I hope that while you are doing your own research, you will also focus on practical needs, and you should be able to understand that the ideal is higher than the reality, but it should not be divorced from the reality." Qin Zhiyuan put forward his own suggestions more tactfully.

To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan was still a little weak when he said this, what Qin Zhiyuan promised was not like this, what Qin Zhiyuan said at the beginning was that he would not interfere with Nikola Tesla's research at all, and now he makes such a suggestion, which is a bit of a break in his word.

However, Nikola Tesla is not pedantic, it is estimated that Nikola Tesla still got some lessons from the cooperation with Morgan, and with Nikola Tesla's IQ, it is not difficult to find a solution to the problem.

"Of course, I understand the gap between ideals and reality, so you can rest assured that helicopters and missiles will be the direction of my next work." Nikola Tesla was very empathetic.

"That's great!" Qin Zhiyuan immediately rejoiced.

What can you buy by investing $10 million a year?

If there were no surprises, missiles would not have appeared until 1944, and now they are 1923, twenty years ahead of schedule, and this is the value of 10 million dollars a year.

As for the helicopter, the value of this technology is immeasurable, the application of helicopters is not limited to the military, there is a broader space in the civilian market, Lanfang is currently conducting helicopter research, with the addition of Nikola Tesla, the research progress of the helicopter will be greatly accelerated, maybe the profits generated on this alone are enough to support ten Nikola Tesla for follow-up research, which is a profitable business.

"I still want to continue my research on wireless power delivery, and I hope you can give me enough space in this regard." Of course, Nikola Tesla also has his own requirements, which is why Nikola Tesla agreed to come to Lanfang.

"Of course, if you want to build Wordencliffe Tower, I can build you ten." Qin Zhiyuan has a big package.

The American media called the Woden Crevert Tower "Nikolai's Tower of Millions", in fact, the cost of the Woden Crevert Tower is really not much, Lan Fang after these years of large-scale construction, the construction force is not only the strongest in the world, but also one of the best, it is really not difficult to build a few Woden Crevert Towers.

Qin Zhiyuan even had a plan before, Nikola Tesla used Worden Crevert Tower to carry out wireless power supply across the Atlantic, and now Nikola Tesla has come to Lanfang, and he can conduct research between Lanfang and Northern Xinjiang, and this distance also spans tens of thousands of kilometers, which should be able to meet Nikola Tesla's requirements.

Looking at Nikola Tesla's research projects, the wireless charging technology of mobile phones in the 21st century has been widely publicized as a big selling point, which is what Nikola Tesla played a hundred years ago.

"No, no, no, I already have a new idea, Wordencliffe is not perfect enough, the power is not big enough, we need more effective equipment-" When he said this, Nikola Tesla looked at Qin Zhiyuan with a gaze that could not take his eyes off it: "Of course, this also means a greater investment." ”

Money is not everything, but no money is everything.

Nikola Tesla can see money as dung, but he is still a little nervous when faced with the astronomical amount of money needed for scientific research.

The wireless transmission of electricity is beyond the scope of individual research, and it must be supported by the national government, otherwise even with the genius of Nikola Tesla, the research work will not be sustainable.

Qin Zhiyuan did promise Nikola Tesla $10 million a year in research funding, but Nikola Tesla obviously didn't believe it, in Nikola Tesla's opinion, 10 million is definitely not available, so 5 million is not bad, or it really can't - 1 million is fine!

Qin Zhiyuan's answer surprised Nikola Tesla: "How much do you need?" Ten million dollars? I can't run out of them—"

Qin Zhiyuan is mentally prepared for the funds needed for scientific research, but in the face of a scientist of Nikola Tesla's level, Qin Zhiyuan is also bottomless, God knows how much Nikola Tesla costs, if Nikola Tesla is allowed to build, it is possible to make 100 million per year.

"I can't use it up, I can't use it up, I can't even use it up for half a million." Nikola Tesla is already happy.

"That's good, just make it!" Qin Zhiyuan is really generous.
