The Po River is the largest river in Italy, originating in the Alps and flowing through the cities of Turin, Alessandria, Rovigo, and its basin includes cities such as Milan, Brescia, and Ferrara, making it the most economically influential river in Italy.

Since it is very economical, there is a lot of demand for power, and the use of water conservancy and steam power is also very ordinary. Now a dam on the Po River is taking shape thanks to the hard work of the workers, and it is the site of the construction of the first large hydroelectric power plant in Italy, the Pavia Hydroelectric Power Station.

Speaking of the construction of this hydropower station, it has also attracted the attention of power scientists in other countries, because this is the first large-scale alternating current hydropower station.

That's right, Tesla has already researched a large generator, which currently has a power of 2.5KW, and this time in order to build the Pavia Hydropower Station, Westinghouse Electric Company has built four such large generators under the leadership of Tesla.

Of course, it has not yet been transported, because the dam has not yet been built, and the Po River will be blocked for four or five hundred meters. It's going to take a while.

However, this still attracted many people to watch.

And among so many people, a teenager, led by an adult, also came to watch the dam being built.

"It's a spectacular sight."

The young Marconi looked at the dam and let out a heartfelt admiration.

"Galilmore, be careful, don't fall into the river."

Behind his mother, Anne Jimson, was a little worried about her son.

"Don't worry, he knows it's safe."

As a father, Jussep Marconi let his wife not care too much about this.

Speaking of which, Marconi was born into a very wealthy family, and he was smart since he was a child, but he didn't go to school at all, because his mother Anne Gimson directly hired a university professor to be his tutor (envy no).

Of course, he has been smart since he was a child, and he has not lived up to his mother's expectations, and he is very attentive to learning, completely surpassing his peers. He was very interested in physics, electricity, and electromagnetism, and often used the school's equipment for experiments, and his private tutor was also very fond of the teenager, allowing him to borrow books from the school library.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the ingenuity of Marconi, who sees such a little genius and does not want to teach it.

This time, they were able to travel more than 100 kilometers from Bologna to see the Pavia hydropower station, which also shows the love of his parents.

As the Marconi family looked at the hydropower plant under construction, a group of people passed by them with drawings.

Marconi saw a man he had seen.

"Mr. Tesla, Mr. Tesla."

The boy's voice was so distinctive that Tesla, who had just walked by, looked back and saw a well-dressed teenager shouting at him with a look of surprise.

"What's the matter, little friend?"

Tesla is still a little curious about a teenager calling himself, you must know that not many people know him now, basically in the scientific community, and the appearance of a teenager makes him feel novel.

In the face of Tesla's inquiry, Marconi said excitedly. "Mr. Tesla, I have read your publication in Science Week about the principles of electromagnetism. I've done experiments for that, and it's amazing......"

Marconi, who is a little fan brother, gushed about his admiration for Tesla's scientific papers.

And Tesla was also very curious about Marconi. "By the way, I remember that this paper needs to be at least college to understand, how old are you now?"

"I'm eleven years old."

Marconi's words made everyone who was with Tesla look at the teenager in amazement.

In the end, it was a teenager, thin-skinned, and Marconi explained with a blushing face. "I still don't understand a lot about your paper, so I asked Mr. Dickland, and he gave me a detailed answer."

Even if Marconi explained, the people around him praised him again and again. After all, the Marconi in front of him is too young, and this is all knowledge that only college students know, and it is impossible to praise a genius.

Marconi was embarrassed by the compliments around him, while his parents came over and greeted the people around him.

When everything gradually calmed down, Marconi looked at Tesla with adoration.

"Mr. Tesla, can I follow you to the hydropower station?"

According to the reason, there should not be children on the construction site, mainly because children do not understand the danger and are prone to accidents.

But looking at Marconi with an expectant face, Tesla didn't know why he relented.

"You need to ask your parents."

Tesla's call undoubtedly gave Marconi the green light, and then he immediately pestered his parents and said that he wanted to follow Tesla in to have a look.

In the face of the pestering Marconi, his parents reluctantly agreed.

So Marconi, who was excited, followed Tesla and his party into the construction site under the repeated advice of his parents.

"Mr. Vic, this size must be accurate, because the turbine is more precise, and if there is any deviation, then it will have serious consequences."

"Attention must be paid to the location of the transmission line, and the height must reach more than five meters to prevent human access."

Tesla always said a lot of things, all of which were relatively boring topics, even if it was an adult, it would be estimated that he would yawn, but Marconi still listened to it with relish, and sometimes even secretly asked Tesla why he did it. As for the teenager's curiosity, Tesla rarely had the patience to explain them one by one.

Of course, such a time could not last long, and soon the sun would set, and Marconi had no choice but to leave and return to his parents.

"Mr. Tesla, you must write to me when you have time."

Tesla, who felt that this teenager was a manufacturable material, also waved goodbye. "Don't worry, I'll write to you when the time comes."

Looking at the goodbye of the two people, one big and one young, the others showed a deep smile. Of course, they didn't know that in the future, this scene would be written into a textbook and become the story of the first contact between the two bigwigs in electricity and electromagnetism.
