On the night of the opening ceremony of the expo, almost everyone was shocked by the hundreds of thousands of incandescent lamps in the Expo Park.

And a sign was simply hung in front of the booth of Roswell Electric Company:

Every electric light you see here is powered by our generators.

Interested customers were taken by horse-drawn carriage to the north and south generator sets for a visit.

The rumbling sound of machines in the factory conveys the beauty of the industrial age.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and Kou Yongsheng and others also became product managers, introducing and promoting Roswell Electric Company's products to customers.

The two generator workshops have become two new exhibition sites of the company for a while, which are very lively.

Chen Jianqiu was a little busy this night.

In addition to the booth at the Electrical Pavilion, his Roswell Munitions Company and chemical plant also appeared at the Expo.

Browning appeared with a newly developed automatic firearm.

These guns attracted the attention of too many European customers.

In the words of one of them, the guns seem to come from another world than the Winchester, Colt and Remington products next door.

That's something on another level.

Not to mention fertilizer products.

At this time, the Americans in the west were still looking for ways to conquer the land.

Perhaps Chen Jianqiu's fertilizer is not surprising or technologically innovative, but compared with those products in Europe, it can be regarded as good quality and low price.

The Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson, who came to visit, was even more ecstatic.

No one understands what fertilizer means to America better than he does.

"Mr. Chen, you really did something very meaningful." The elder didn't seem to care about Chen Jianqiu's Chinese status at all.

As a former farmer, he seems more approachable than any politician.

He crouched on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed a handful of potash powder with his hands.

Chen Jianqiu squatted beside him and quietly listened to the minister's speech.

"Agriculture is one of the most important foundations of this country, and no matter how far technology develops, we have to fill our stomachs." Wilson stared at the fertilizers with a deep gaze.

"Without the peasants, the westward movement could not have succeeded."

"In the past, our agriculture had to either look at the harvest from the sky or the land, or we had to ask the Europeans for fertilizer, but if one day they choke us by the neck, we have no choice."

"Good thing your efforts have changed all that!"

Chen Jianqiu touched his nose.

He didn't think about that many lofty things, and the future of America was basically none of his business.

At this point in time, the take-off of the United States is already unstoppable.

His original intention was just to solve the problem of farming for the Chinese here, and then make some money.

After receiving the VIPs, Chen Jianqiu rushed back to the Electric Hall non-stop.

Tesla showed up at the booth with a change of clothes.

He looked a little tired, but his eyes twinkled with excitement as he looked at the electric lights that filled the ceiling.

All of this had been his dream, and now, it has come true.

Alternating current is benefiting humanity.

"Well, I told you, we can make a name for ourselves." Chen Jianqiu walked to Tesla's side.

His gaze was also on the electric light on the ceiling.

Tesla came back to his senses.

"You have a spare motor, you should have told me sooner." He rolled his eyes at Chen Jianqiu, "Repairing those generators almost cost me half my life." ”

"Oh, I don't think you're pretty adept, are you?" Chen Jianqiu quipped, "I thought you were 100% sure." ”

The Serb raised his head with a calm expression:

"I didn't, but I knew it was probably the only chance of my life and we couldn't afford to lose."

"It's not that serious, it's not that serious, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." Chen Jianqiu said with a smile, "Success is valuable, but we must also learn to face failure, which is also a kind of life." ”

"After all, if you lose, you get used to it."

He didn't hold his voice.

Because across the street is GM's booth.

Edison was standing there, his face gloomy.

Although Mr. Brown, who was interrogated, insisted that the vandalism was his own personal act, he was only jealous of Tesla's talent.

What awaits him will be a formal indictment in the near future.

Mr. Edison was still frowning.

Because he knew that even if he could escape prison this time, Morgan would not let him go.

When his company was merged into General Electric, it was Morgan's first warning to him, and now, he will be out.

Now, he can only hope that the electric chair last time will give people the impression that AC is unsafe.

"By the way, are you ready for tomorrow?" Chen Jianqiu suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Tesla.

"Are you sure you want to do it yourself?" Tesla hesitated, "Otherwise, I'd better do it myself, after all"

"You're not sure?" Chen Jianqiu looked at Tesla with a wicked smile, "Are you still afraid that if you electrocute me, no one will pay you salaries, patent fees, and research funds?" ”

The Serbs were speechless for a while.

The next day, in the open space in the middle of the Electric Pavilion, a strange device appeared.

The device consists of several columns.

The three pillars on the sides are relatively thin, and the middle one is very thick.

What they all have in common is that they are full of coils.

The clearing was fenced off with a sign hanging on it:

A mysterious miracle will descend at one o'clock in the afternoon.

People are very curious about what this mysterious device is used for.

The news spread throughout the Expo Park.

As a result, by the time the afternoon performance began, the Electric Hall was already surrounded by people, inside and out.

The audience was eagerly awaited.

The hands of the Expo Park clock tower point to one o'clock in the afternoon accurately.

A Chinese man dressed in a formal dress, polite, and wearing a white bow tie appeared in the center of the Electric Pavilion.

With cork boots on his feet, he made his way through the crowd and towards the device.

Someone knows him.

Isn't this Chen Jianqiu, the boss of Roswell Electric? This is what he was going to do.

Chen Jianqiu came to the edge of the device without saying a word.

He waved his hand at Tesla, who was standing at the booth not far away.

Tesla flipped the switch.

After a few seconds, people looked left and right, as if nothing had happened.

Some impatient people began to question it, thinking that this Chinese boss was suspected of being grandiose.

Suddenly, the metal pillars began to emit filament-like electric light, and blue arcs appeared in the air, bewitching and dazzling, "crackling" in the air.

"It's lightning! Oh, my God! Look! It's lightning! Someone has already begun to exclaim.

Chen Jianqiu shuttled through the device, and the "lightning" around him didn't seem to have any effect on him.

His performance continues.

The Chinese merchant touched one of the metal pillars with one hand.

"Oh! No! He's crazy! ”

"Stop him, he'll die!"

The audience below exclaimed, and some people had already covered their eyes and didn't dare to look.

But a miracle happened.

Electricity flowed through Chen Jianqiu's skin, making him look sparkling, like a burning man.

Chen Jianqiu took out a light bulb from his pocket, and the light bulb lit up!

"Oh my God, how did he do it? Will it generate electricity? ”

"Did he hide a wire in his cuff?"

"I can't believe my eyes, there's nothing wrong with him!"

"O my God! Is he Thor? ”

Chen Jianqiu is certainly not Thor.

The name of the device is Tesla Coil, which can generate high-frequency and high-voltage currents.

But the current itself is not large, and with the existence of the skin-like effect, Chen Jianqiu's body will not be harmed.

As for those so-called lightning, they are also blindfolding.

True lightning is powerful direct current, but the "lightning" here is high-frequency and high-voltage alternating current, which is far from it.

But all this is enough to bring some "small shocks" to the people on the scene.

Chen Jianqiu's "amazing performance" at the expo has developed in two directions under the rendering of the media.

The first one is that alternating current is not that dangerous.

The second is that the Chinese boss of the Roswell Electric Company is a "god", and it is also said that he is a supernatural being.

And the good deeds began to bow down to him.

Chen Jianqiu didn't bother to refute the rumors.

People are only willing to believe what they want to believe, and as for what the truth is, many people don't care.

Anyway, at the fair, he made a lot of money.

Whether it's an electrical company, munitions or fertilizer, a large number of orders have been harvested.

As for whether he is a man or a "god", it doesn't matter to him.
