Chapter 327: Visit

Nikola Tesla, a Serb, subsequently became an American citizen.

Up to now, Tesla is one of the world's top inventors, physicists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and top talents in the field of scientific research.

Tesla, who was born on July 10, 1856, is now fifty-six years old, but he is still at the forefront of scientific research.

Ever since Tesla won the direct current and alternating current wars, that is, the dispute with Edison, he has been considered the greatest electrical engineer in the United States and has been recognized by all walks of life in the United States.

In Tesla's decades-long research career, it has a large number of patents, and has a lot of research results in alternating current systems, radio systems, wireless power transmission, ball lightning, turbines, amplification transmitters, particle beam weapons, solar engines, X-ray equipment, electric energy meters, missile science, remote sensing technology, aircraft, cosmic rays, radar systems, robots, etc.

When it comes to scientific research, Tesla's greatness is unquestionable. He owned a large number of patents, which could have brought Tesla countless fortunes.

Tesla's life's inventions are a testament to his selfless contribution to society. Although he devoted his life to continuous research, he obtained about 1,000 (some say 700) patented inventions. But in his later years, he was poor and financially constrained. Although many entrepreneurs took advantage of the love and talent of this genius scientist to defraud him of his research results and honor, he still worked hard to research and invent for the happiness of mankind in his later years.

Among Tesla's many inventions, none have benefited the public more than its invention of various AC motors. In every corner of the world, the development of economy and trade, the progress of science and the enjoyment of life are inseparable from the help of alternating current. The blackouts in the United States and Europe at the end of 2003 paralyzed society and the economy. As early as 1882, Tesla had invented the world's first high-frequency AC motor, and in 1885, he invented multiphase current and multiphase power transmission technology.

After Edison's invention of direct current, electrical appliances were widely used, but at the same time, the cost of electricity was very high, so operating direct current output became the most profitable business at that time. In 1885, Tesla broke away from Edison and met George Westinghouse, the head of Westinghouse, and with his support, in 1888 officially brought alternating current to the society of the time. At the Columbia Exposition in May 1893, Tesla demonstrated alternating current lighting, becoming the winner of the "battle of electric currents". Afterwards, Tesla won the right to undertake the power design of the Niagara hydropower plant.

Since then, alternating current has replaced direct current as the mainstream of power supply. Tesla, on the other hand, had a patent for alternating current, and at that time it had to pay a royalty of $2.5 to Tesla for every horsepower of alternating current sold. Driven by strong interests, a consortium at that time wanted Tesla to give up the patent right and intended to monopolize it for profit. After much negotiation, Tesla decided to give up the patent for alternating current, on the condition that the alternating current patent would be permanently disclosed. Since then, he has torn up the patent for alternating current and lost the right to receive royalties. Since then, alternating current has no patents and has become a free invention. If the invention patent for alternating current is not given to all mankind for free use, then every horsepower of alternating current will bring him a "patent fee" of 2.5 US dollars, and he will be the richest man in the world.

Tesla's peak period should be from the eighties of the nineteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, when the war of electricity was won. During this time, Tesla has been extremely brilliant in the scientific research community and has also won the trust of a large number of American consortiums.

In 1900, after the dawn of the new century, Tesla began the project to build Wordencliffe Tower with $150,000 (more than half of which was provided by the Morgan family).

The American media at that time called Woden Klive Tower Tesla's million-dollar building, which is enough to see how brilliant Tesla is in this era.

But in 1904, the U.S. Patent Office revoked the previous judgment and awarded the patent to Guglielmo Marconi.

This forced Tesla to fall into a long-term patent battle, and it was also during this period that Tesla lost the support of an American consortium and re-emerged as a destitute researcher.

Although the divestment of the U.S. consortium has the impact of patent issues, the most fundamental problem is that Tesla's current research will not bring more profits to the consortium.

Tesla may have developed the radio before Marconi, but in order to obtain the continuous financial support of the consortium, he chose to temporarily conceal the news of the successful development of the radio and use the consortium's funds to conduct his own other research.

Naturally, such behavior is not acceptable to the American consortium, and it is a matter of course that Tesla is abandoned.

At present, several years have passed since Tesla was abandoned by an American consortium.

Although Tesla is still a well-known expert in the United States, Tesla's financial situation is very bad.

According to the Royal Security Intelligence Service, Tesla should have come to Australasia this time to visit his sister Miaka.

Because Tesla never married, the three sisters who are still alive, Miaka, Angelina and Mareka have become Tesla's three surviving relatives, and they are currently the only relatives.

Tesla's three younger sisters originally lived in Serbia, but because of the previous war in Serbia and the current confusing situation in the Balkans, Tesla's eldest brother-in-law decided to take the whole family to Australasia, tens of thousands of kilometers away, to escape the disaster.

In fact, when Miaka and her husband discussed the location of the escape, they may not have considered the United States, where Tesla is located.

But when Miaka learned that Tesla was not only doing badly in the United States, but also had tens of thousands of dollars in debt, she decisively gave up the idea of going to the United States.

The current Miyaka family lives in a village outside of Sydney. Because the family has not yet decided to live in Australasia permanently, it is naturally impossible for them to obtain the land allocated by the Australasian government, and they are currently renting it from a farmer in the village.

On October 3, 1912, after instructing the Royal Security Intelligence Service to investigate all the circumstances surrounding Tesla, Arthur set out for Miaka and Tesla's village with adequate preparations, as well as a team of guards and intelligence officers from the Royal Security Intelligence Service.

In fact, although Tesla's current financial situation is already very bad, the so-called debt is not overwhelmed, whether it is the cost of ocean tickets or hotel stays, Tesla can also afford it.

Arthur chose this day because Tesla was going to visit his sister again on this day, which means that Tesla was in the village where Miyaka was located on this day.

Arthur's purpose was simple, that is, to win over this godly man and make him faithfully work and study for himself.

But simply wooing Tesla may fail, after all, Tesla is a man who has seen the world so far, and he has experienced the glory of the peak, so it is naturally not so easy to woo.

If Tesla is next to his sister Miaka, then it means that Tesla also has weaknesses that can be broken through.

For Tesla, who has lived for 56 years and is still alone, his three younger sisters are not only his only living relatives, but also one of Tesla's few concerns in terms of family affection.

And what do refugees like Miaka who fled the Balkans lack most? It's nothing more than money and the safety of life.

The only way to get these refugees to Australasia is to escape the life-threatening scourge of war, perhaps only poverty and hunger.

After about an hour, Arthur finally arrived in this village on the outskirts of Sydney.

The so-called suburbs of Sydney are actually the outermost part of the Capital Territory, almost bordering the northern state of New South Wales.

Because the ACT is a borough from New South Wales, there are always more or less villages that sit on the border between the two boroughs.

The core of the ACT is certainly Sydney's city centre and port, while the core of NSW has also moved north to Newcastle.

As a result, the development of the two states adjacent to each other has not been smooth, but fortunately it is the core area of Australasia, the southeast corner of the continent, so it can be said.

Except for a few who stayed in the village to work in agriculture, most of the residents have gone to Sydney or nearby cities to work in factories and various enterprises.

The factory can pay several times as much as they can do farming, which makes most of the residents of the nearby villages choose to work in the factory.

For these reasons, these villages have a large number of vacant houses, which are occasionally rented to immigrants coming to Australasia.

The citizenship verification of some immigrants takes several months or even half a year, which also leads to the fact that they cannot enjoy various benefits in Australasia during this time.

Although you can get a job that is enough to live and wear, it seems that it is impossible to live in a city.

Miaka's family was like this, they did not have Australasian citizenship and had to live in a rented suburb of Sydney, living under such a village house.

But such an environment is acceptable for refugees from Eastern Europe like Miaka.

After all, the environment in Eastern Europe is not necessarily better than that of Australasia, at least the job opportunities and salary package are certainly not as good as those in Australasia's factories.

Half an hour before Arthur arrived in the village, the main roads around the village were already under the control of Arthur's guards.

The village is also dotted with a large number of Security Intelligence Service personnel, whose sole mission is to ensure Arthur's safety under any circumstances.

Unlike in the past, Arthur takes his own safety very seriously.

You must know that all current firearms, as long as they hit the vital point, are basically killed with one shot.

This also represents a true meaning, no matter how noble the status is, no matter how rich the value is, everyone is equal in front of thermal weapons.

There have been countless assassinations of national rulers and members of the royal family, both in history and in the future, and Arthur will not be careless.

Arthur's safety in Australasia is even more important than the country's development.

The prestige of the three major ethnic groups of immigrants in Australasia is now able to live in harmony, and the prestige of the three ethnic groups of Arthur plays a crucial role.
