"What can he do, there's nothing on it?" Howard said suspiciously.
The same question arose in the minds of others, including Carter, who wondered what he had to do to carry out this so-called magic trick.
The problem is not difficult to solve, though.
Now what Eric is going to do is a classic magnetic levitator.
The electromagnet on the floor is the most important tool, and the other materials can be completely solved by themselves, Eric didn't even ask, he automatically dismantled a few unimportant exhibits nearby, his attitude was calm and natural, and even Howard, the owner of the exhibits, didn't say anything.
After emptying a machine and taking out all the parts inside, leaving only the unique shell, Eric found a nail from nearby to fix the exhibits, and used it to make a few holes in it, and reinstalled the dismantled wire in the machine to connect with the electromagnet left by Howard to make a beautiful base.
Then in the pocket with the magnetic field talent quickly processed a few coins, they are treated like a micro-carving process on the surface to form an extremely detailed path, with it to assume a part of the role of micro-control, in the era of no programmable logic control and single-chip microcomputer, complex hardware can also play a certain effect under manual operation, so that it can control the hovering height of the suspended matter, through the adjustment of the knob of the electromagnet to set its current value, so that the object obediently hovers in the air.
With these things in order, Eric rolled up his shirt sleeves, pulled out a round steel from the shelf next to the exhibits, and in the midst of everyone's amazement, he twisted the hard steel bar into a half-curved arc, wrapped it with a thin wire, connected the electromagnetic coil and wire at the other end, and finally made a magnetic levitator with a little modification.
With this simple device, combined with Howard's electromagnet that can hold up a model car, it wields enough to hold up a forty-pound child.
"Beautiful young lady, can you do me a favor?" Eric stretched out his hand to Carter. Although she didn't understand what he had done, the female agent did as he wished, and went to the side to fetch a globe to decorate.
Removing the bracket, Carter placed the sphere in the middle of the instrument, and then Eric called in another spectator and asked him to turn the knob as required, and then the electromagnet waved, and when the object's gravity and magnet's attraction to the object were equal, the blue planet was suspended in the air and slowly rotated.
People watched in amazement. Talking to the person next to him in a whisper, although Howard's performance just now was an approximate effect, this piece of equipment was made under their noses, the structure was simple, and it looked more stable.
When the light shone on the surface of the sphere, shining it like a giant sapphire, everyone rushed forward and scrambled to look at the stage.
"This is our planet, the beautiful planet." Eric said, pointing to the slowly rotating model of the Earth.
"The beginning of the XVI century. Magellan's fleet circumnavigated the globe in sailboats, a trip that cost him three years and cost his life when his crew returned to Europe. Someone gave them a gift, and this gift was also a globe with a sentence written on it in Spanish: You hugged me this time. This quote is a profound description of the feat of a warrior. Since then, with the innovation of transportation. Our world is shrinking rapidly, and it used to take six months to three months to get from London to New York, but now it only takes a few days. The time will be shorter when you take a plane, not because the earth has become smaller, but because our lives have been changed by technology. ”
"I often think about what our future should be, it should not be a weapon for human beings to kill each other, it should not just be a manifestation of the productivity of increasing the industrial level, but it should enter a broader field and become a way of life. It is supposed to make our lives better, not worse, and with its power, humanity can set foot in untouched territory and move towards the vast universe, instead of being trapped in a small area and squabbling. This is the case, and in the same way, military men can see the rudiments of more powerful weapons, electromagnetic cannons and faster flying machines, industrialists can use it to build tall trains and motors, and most importantly, it can help us explore the universe and enter new spaces. ”
"What I'm showing you today is not to show you how skilled I am, but to unveil a new world for you, a world so wonderful that it has just begun to show itself to humanity. I hope that one day humanity can interrely and build a better world tomorrow with the power of today, forming a new way of life of happiness for the benefit of ourselves and future generations. ”
After his words, the people applauded, this time not for those Ming, but for the prospect of the future.
Eric's next move was to build a simple version of a low-radiation maglev train, an induction cooker, an electromagnetic catapult spacecraft, and so on, with his performance, more and more people gathered around, not satisfied with Carter's help in the display, but also to experience it for themselves, and when the bell rang and the exhibition hall had to close, the visitors slowly dispersed.
Now Eric and the others are going back, and Bucky is going to the barracks tomorrow, so I'm sorry to let him stay here all night today.
Fortunately, Mr. Barnes was not discouraged, and he was still thinking about what he had just mentioned, and the fifty thousand dollars he had spent on the sale of fuze patents in the past was a good illustration of Eric's lack of casual remarks. Thinking of the future prospects, he excitedly took Eric's hand and kept discussing the idea of starting a company together to produce these cutting-edge products mentioned by the Ming family after the war.
Eric didn't speak, always smiling, and behind them, Miss Carter walked over with hesitation.
She wanted to bring those things back to the Science Strategy Corps instead of staying in the exhibition hall to be seen, after all, unlike Stark's anti-gravity technology, Eric's design seemed to be easier to learn, and he himself said that it could be used militarily.
In fact, the use of magnetic levitation technology in the military was still unrealistic in this day and age, but with the instinctive sensitivity of the agents, Carter wanted everything that could pose a risk to stay in the Legion's secret storage room.
The female agent thought so, but she couldn't find a reason for it for a while, and she couldn't just say a word to confiscate something.
Seeing her thoughts, Eric didn't refuse.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you." Eric winked at the female agent and pushed the gadgets out very graciously.
"Hey, Eric." Bucky shouted from the side, he didn't want to watch his interests be taken away by others, but luckily Eric had a way to appease him, otherwise Sergeant Barnes would probably snatch things straight back to his home.
"You really gave it to me?" Carter looked at the suspicious man suspiciously.
"Of course, I appreciate your help." Eric, after calling back Steve, who had said goodbye to Dr. Erskine, provoked the female agent one last time.
"Goodbye, Miss Carter." He said it seriously, but when the female agent was about to leave, he added. "One last time, we worked well together, you are a good actress, do you want to consider changing careers after the war?"
His flirtatious tone immediately furious Carter, and when she raised her eyebrows and turned around, Eric was already walking away with laughter.
"Oh, actually, I think he has a point, I never doubt your courage, but the war is too cruel.".
"Doctor!" Carter exclaimed angrily, feeling that he was being underestimated. But when she looked back and saw the doctor's teasing eyes, she suddenly felt a little weak in her heart.
"Let's go, I'm going to lock these things up in the warehouse." She quickly walked to the front and carefully carried a bunch of Ming into the car.
Behind the female agent, Erskine shook her head and followed, accompanied by several soldiers.
Although all the physical objects were taken away by Carter, there was a lot of newspaper coverage the next day, and many people saw Eric's Ming in person, and hyped it up, and talked about his vision of technology and lifestyle.
"What the hell is technology, a monster that devours the future of humanity, or a tame horse under its crotch?" Journalists threw the issue to the public, and although it was still during the war, there were still many people expressing their opinions. Beginning with the appearance of the steel behemoth tanks and planes during the European War, warfare has been different from the past era, during the Civil War, the army could still maintain a certain demeanor, but now it has become more dangerous.
Bombers, heavy artillery, poison gas, armored vehicles, and snipers, each of which can pose a great threat to soldiers and civilians, when one side of the war wants to attack the potential of the other, he does not care if there are innocent people living under his boots, the generals just warn, and then firmly step on it, completely ignoring the fate of the other side.
These discussions even outnumbered the discussion of Ming himself, and became the focus of heated discussions for a while, until Howard, who felt left out, couldn't help but criticize the danger of electromagnetic fields in front of reporters, and people's attention reversed direction.
"Magnetic levitation is nothing new. As early as 1922, and in 1934 he applied for a patent for a maglev train, and Eric's Ming was nothing more than an imitation of someone else's idea, and there was nothing surprising at all. ”
By this time, he had forgotten about his anti-gravity car.
Perceiving the delicate relationship between the two men, the reporters became even more excited, and they began to compare Howard and Eric to today's Edison and Tesla, as if a new battle of genius scientists was about to be staged. (To be continued!)
