Chapter 119: Artificial Lightning
An Jie arrived at the tower with Christine and was stunned by the scene in front of her.
"Is this tower such a dangerous thing?!"
She tentatively took a step forward.
A bolt of lightning struck her feet.
Anjie: "............"
The girl didn't say a word, turned around and left with her boss.
"Nikolai, you are a good man, may you rest in peace in heaven."
"Don't kill me without saying a word, I'm still alive and well!"
Nikolai, who was squatting in the corner, complained, and then he saw An Jie looking at him like a ghost.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm good."
An Jie looked at Nikolai, and after brewing for a long time, she finally spit out two words:
"Hell!!"
…………
"It's a shame that you can survive that kind of high-voltage electricity, your life is really not ordinary!"
An Jie sighed.
The tower was now shrouded in lightning, and An Jie threw a small iron rod into it. But when you go in, it's straight, and when you come out, it becomes curved.
She looked at the small pit in the middle of the bent iron rod that was struck by lightning and complained again:
"You're really not ordinary!"
Alternating current is used in all of the Empire's electric towers, which has been called the Empire's greatest invention of the last decade, despite a series of advantages, but for some reason it is not popular.
It's like some celebrities have excellent conditions and excellent quality, but they just aren't popular.
Nikolai looked at An Jie and smiled, if he hadn't taken into account that An Jie was also a soldier, he wouldn't have been able to help his beepping soul, and loudly show off everything in front of him and the aurora in the sky were all made by him.
But for the sake of his life, Nikolai's explanation to Anjie became - after escaping from the battlefield, he came here to assemble a radio SOS from existing parts, but accidentally touched a switch and turned out to be like this, maybe this tower is the secret weapon of the Empire.
He has not forgotten the fact that he is being "collected" for debts.
Then here's the problem!
Q: Does Nicholas believe what Anjie said?
Answer: (I only have a ghost if I believe it!) )
"Great inventor, tell me honestly."
An Jie's expression was solemn, and she put away her joking look. He pointed to the pillar of light that reached the sky and said:
"Did you do that?"
Nikolai looked at the sky.
"The moon is so round today."
An Jie was speechless, she shot him and broke his heart.
"Load! You keep pretending! Where did the moon come from today?! The sky is blocked by the aurora, what can I see?! ”
"That's how lonely you are."
Nikolai's face turned pale, and he said solemnly:
"Scientists like us don't have to use our eyes to see the moon. We can calculate whether the moon is round or not by the humidity in the air, the direction of the wind, the position of the stars and the saturation of light! And after my calculations, I came to the conclusion: yes! The moon is so round tonight! ”
An Jie pulled out a gun.
"That's right, I did it."
This is seriously inconsistent with the pretending to beep plot he imagined, but fortunately, Christine, who was wrapped in bandages by An Jie, has fainted, and she doesn't have to worry about being recognized.
"What the hell is going on with those auroras?! You'd better be honest! ”
Nikolai raised an eyebrow.
"What if I don't say it?"
"Bang!"
A bullet grazed his crotch.
"Can we talk properly?"
“………… Yes. ”
"What are those aurora for?"
Nikolai organized the language.
"To be precise, those aurora lights are useless. Because those are just traces of a large amount of electrical energy passing through the ionosphere, the really valuable things, that is, those currents, have reacted in the air under the influence of conductors in the earth's core. ”
He pointed to the heavens.
"Wireless power transmission, using the ionosphere as the outer conductor and the earth's core as the inner conductor, is a way to transmit energy by amplifying the radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode of the transmitter to establish a low-frequency resonance of about 8 Hz between the earth and the ionosphere, using the electromagnetic waves surrounding the surface of the planet.................. Do you understand? ”
An Jie shook her head.
"I don't read much, don't lie to me!"
She's not a science dog, and this kind of electrical knowledge is really a bit difficult for her.
And Nikolai rolled his eyes, and what he said to Niu Danqin was his current mood.
"Just tell me what it brings!"
An Jie is a little impatient, and she is now starting to get caught up in some bad behaviors of soldiers - such as doing things only based on the results or something.
People will become more and more lazy after having power and money, and An Jie has this tendency after discovering that she is very strong, no matter what she does, she begins to focus only on results and efficiency, just to be able to get the desired results faster and with less effort, and the means are becoming more and more brutal.
Respect those who are stronger than her, and give an iron fist to those who are weaker than her and don't know what to do. is a typical bully of the soft and afraid of the hard, she has grown crooked.
But that's okay!
An Jie dared to pat her chest and pack the ticket, if she could pull down her face to sell cuteness, her current military rank would definitely be more than just a small sergeant!
Why? Because of justice!
What is Justice? Moe is justice!
(So I'm Justice!) )
Anjie was close to Nikolai's face, vicious (?) Growled:
"What can this wireless power transfer bring to us right now?!"
Nikolai pushed his glasses and spat out four words from his mouth:
"Lightning Storm!"
………………
The thunderstorm came very suddenly, and the rain mixed with lightning poured down on the dilapidated fortress, rendering it like a living hell.
"It's starting to get into the first phase."
Nikolai hid in a small room and said softly.
He glanced at Christine, who was lying quietly behind him, thinking about An Jie's sparkling eyes. I couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I really can't afford to offend such a thing."
After learning about the effect of the electric tower from him, An Jie hurriedly formulated a counterattack plan named "Tunguska", kept saying that he wanted to make the enemy look good, and then left.
Only Christine was left for him to take care of.
An Jie's appearance before leaving is still echoing in front of her eyes.
"Nikolai!"
She stood on tiptoe, patted him on the waist vigorously (because he couldn't reach his shoulder), and said with a serious face:
"I've always trusted my instincts! And my instincts and your talent tell me that you are indeed a person to be trusted...... I want to entrust the general to your care, and if I don't come back from the battle after that, you can quickly leave here with her! Can I ask you? ”
What else could he say?
"I didn't expect the second meeting to be in this situation, General Christine."
Nikolai sighed.
"Two years ago, we had a drink at His Majesty's reception, and two years later the Empire began to hunt me down at all costs. Fate is such a thing as impermanence, don't you think so? Checkmate? ”
He pulled out a small box from his bosom, pulled out another roll of bandages, and wrapped the small box around Christine's arm.
After thinking about it, he took out another piece of paper and a pen, and began to write.
"To the people of St. Doragon.
I did my job as promised.
I kept my promise and did my job.
I can't let go of the wealth that should belong to me, but if it is for the sake of a utopia where everyone can be happy, I am willing to pay.
Now, I will disclose all the patents for alternating current and wireless power transmission that I have shredded. May you be able to enjoy my inventions, have an inexhaustible source of energy, and use it to achieve happiness.
In this way, my work is meaningful.
December 26, 1675, handwritten by Nicolas Tesla. ”
After finishing his pen, Nikolai looked at the "letter" in his hand, but the more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.
"Isn't it better to use the words in a flashy way...... Forget it, so be it. ”
He rolled up the letter and tied it to Christine's body as well. Then he silently waited for the battle to end.
He didn't tell An Jie that his pocket watch had been burned by electricity, and if he did, An Jie would definitely not fight.
He could see that the girl's eyes flashed with the desire to fight, she was a typical soldier, eager to fight, eager to prove herself.
And the most commendable thing about her is that she is willing to give up for others. Don't look at An Jie's always threatening him with a gun, in fact, Nicholas has long seen through her dead tsundere's nature.
There is so much information that can be revealed about a person's actions.
"Which is more important, a genius plus the life of a general or the desire of a soldier? It's really disproportionately multiple-choice. ”
"However, I choose soldiers."
Nikolai smiled, put his hands behind his head, and lay down leisurely.
"Come back well, little miss, we're still waiting for you to be your bodyguard!"
