Chapter 137 Tragic Characters
Nikolai? There's a reason Tesla had a bad impression of the IRS officials: in March last year (1916), he was brought to trial in a New York court for $935 in arrears of personal income tax.
In the New York courthouse, in front of the public, he had to admit that he had suffered a lot of losses and was destitute in the failure of the Wodencliffe plan.
All these years, he has been nesting in the Astoria Hotel in Wardorf, living by borrowing money, and he has no money of his own, and he is in debt.
As a celebrity, a celebrity with the gorgeous packaging of a scientist, Nikolai? Tesla's embarrassment is a self-derelict thing to expose to the public
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
This humiliating news spread far and wide: at that time, almost all major newspapers in the United States published the news, and the story of the bankruptcy of a genius scientist was staged in the newspapers, and then countless versions were evolved, and there were even reports that Nikolai? Tesla is already in jail.
In short, Nikolai? Tesla became popular, but not his achievements, but his downfall became a laughing stock of people, and his wounds were torn open bloodily in front of everyone.
So he hated hearing the word tax officer, and he couldn't stop counting it just now.
At the time of the incident last year, Situ Nan was running around the country, so he didn't know about it. It's just that I heard that there was a celebrity in New York who was sued in court for tax arrears, and I thought it was just a rumor made up in the newspaper or insignificant boring news, and I didn't pay attention to it, but I didn't expect that the protagonist was Nikolai in front of me? Tesla
Really joyful, unlucky scientist of unprecedented times - Nikolai? Stella
Situ Nan laughed a little in his heart, a little unscrupulous, but there was a sympathetic expression on his face.
"In order to study the principle of the Tesla coil, in 1889 I conducted a practical study in Colorado Springs.
It's a pity that it was destroyed by an inexplicable fire, my real yàn, my count, and my equipment were all destroyed by an inexplicable fire, and half of my life's hard work was destroyed in one fell swoop.
It was painful for me, not only did I lose my family, but my career also started to decline. ”
Nikolai? Tesla took a sip of bitter coffee, his expression pained, sadness spreading from his eyes.
It's like this, how can it be embarrassing
The poor man suffered a great setback in his most glorious years, and has not recovered to this day.
Situ Nan also felt a sense of kinship as he sat on the side, and the little schadenfreude he had just now was gone.
Maybe he should be given some help, Situ Nan thought to himself.
"Fortunately, my mother's death, my brother's accident, and the damn fire didn't break my will, and I survived again.
With the support of Morgan Sr., I later built a larger Tesla coil on Long Island, New York, and through the high-frequency and high-voltage currents manufactured by the Tesla coil, radio communication and long-distance power transmission on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean could be realized.
What a glorious time it was, and it was a genius idea that the citizens of New York came to see the spectacle."
Nikolai? Tesla's expression was a little memorable, but it immediately turned cloudy again, and he suddenly scolded excitedly: "But there are also many people who still slander and slander my career, and they stir up fear in the newspapers and call on people to destroy this power station that is said to be likely to ruin their lives."
It's ridiculous and ignorant, those stupid guys, and those unscrupulous profiteers, who will never understand that this invention, if successful, will bring free and clean energy to mankind.
The terrible thing is that they succeeded again. When the project reached a critical moment, the thief Marconi stole my radio patent, and I had to fight a lawsuit against the other party, which limited some of my energy.
Morgan took advantage of the situation to siphon off the investment, Westinghouse was dead, and the villains banded together to ruin my Wardencliffe plan.
In the end, the power company, the water company, the construction company, and the unpaid workers all came up, and they took even the last nail. ”
What foolish people, prejudice against the unknown comes from the fear in your hearts, do you know what electricity means to mankind?
My eyes see a vast world of electricity, but you have frustrated me to think that I am really a madman, a heretic, a devil?
Still, I'm not going to give up, and I still have a lot to do. ”
Nikolai? Tesla nagged about the miracles and misfortunes that had happened to him, his expression was sometimes excited, sometimes sad, sometimes confused, sometimes firm, and the whole person fell into a complicated mood.
Today, I heard again that the tax officials were coming to urge the tax, and this scientist, who had been suffering from injustice, was gently teased, and his feelings suddenly exploded.
Yes, he was in a bad mood, gave so much and got more prejudice.
Why is Edison's idiot able to get all the money and rise to prominence, and now he can only nest in this hellish place, this bad qiē, it's really fed up
Nikolai? Tesla thought a little resentfully, and after a while, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just couldn't control my feelings, which made William's husband laugh."
Situ Nan smiled gently and said: "Life is unsatisfactory, the past has passed, and everyone looks forward." ”
It's been a few years since he came to this world, and Situ Nan has become accustomed to no longer thinking about the things that make him unpleasant.
"Thank you. By the way, where did we just talk about? "Nikolai? Tesla asked. His impression of Situ Nan is much better.
His intuition told him that the young man in front of him had just flashed emotion, indicating that the other party should not be too bad a person. Deceived a lot, Nikolai? Tesla also gradually has a set of ways to see people on its own.
"We talked about working together in electricity and radio communications." Situ Nan reminded.
"Although my career has suffered a setback, I promise that you can rest assured that I will be able to carry out research as soon as the relevant equipment and funding are available."
Nikolai? Tesla said, talking about electricity, Nikolai? Tesla's confidence has recovered a lot. Although the two sides could not reach an agreement on the technical cooperation of bladeless fluid turbine power generation that he loved, don't people always have to live?
Studying electricity and radio is also Nikolai? Tesla's interest, so he did not resist the cooperation with Situ Nan, but was eager to work as hard as he could.
As for the fear that Situ Nan would lie to him again like others, what was it? Can a person who can't even afford to pay taxes have too many things to be scammed?
This has been since Nikolai? Tesla saw it very clearly after giving up the patent for alternating current.
Well, although maybe that wasn't what he intended
Those people who had benefited a lot from his invention (mainly alternating current) did not reciprocate enough support for him, but in any case, he did owe it to mankind that mankind used patent-free alternating current technology.
From this point of view, the whole world owes him
Technological advances have been made in the past few decades, and the explosion of knowledge has created new fields, new topics, and new challenges for scientists.
After bankruptcy, his credibility was ruined, and there was no longer a condition for a new round of realization. Nikolai? Tesla only hopes to have the conditions to devote itself to technological research, instead of living an embarrassing life like now.
He tried to write to Morgan Jr. several times, but each time he was in vain. Ever had a deep crush on Nikolai? Princess Annie of Tesla's Morgan family? Morgan also lost interest in the tech man he once admired, and turned to the arms of other younger, stronger men.
The current one qiē makes Nikolai? Tesla was frustrated, so he especially wanted to win over the extraordinary young man in front of him. He had just nagged so much, not only an accusation, but also a little sympathy for marrying Situ Nan.
This man is a legend, but he is also destined to be a tragedy
Situ Nan made a conclusion in his heart.
