With the strong support of East Africa, the city of Soga has developed steadily in recent years, but it is unlikely that it will develop rapidly, and so far the East African government has not built enough houses, and only three blocks have been filled, more of which are workers and service personnel who maintain the city's operations.

However, this is also normal, East Africa is not well-known in the international community, and researchers from various countries either choose to work in their own countries, or they are taking refuge in the Big Five, Britain, Germany, France, Austria and Russia, or other European countries, or go to the paradise of entrepreneurs like the United States.

Therefore, by 1881, the number of scientific researchers and experts attracted by Soga City exceeded 1,000, and as long as those who obtained a university degree in Europe could be introduced to East Africa.

As for the overseas students in East Africa, there is still a big difference between them, and the East African students have a quota allocated by the government, which is considered to be a shortcut, and it is difficult to say whether they can become talents.

However, according to the current level of science and technology in East Africa, it is very likely that the group of students studying abroad will become the pillars of East Africa in the future.

This can be judged from the students of the Far Eastern Empire, the quota of students in the Far Eastern Empire is much smaller than that of East Africa, and it can only be regarded as a fraction of that of East Africa, but a large number of outstanding talents have also been born, of course, this is from the perspective of Ernst's previous life.

Compared with the tepid talent introduction plan in Soga City, four universities have been opened, which has added popularity to Soga City.

The Middle East National Electricity University is the most eye-catching, and it is the only university in East Africa that can compare with other European universities in terms of strength.

This is mainly reflected in the faculty of the East African National Electric Power University, which is backed by the Heixingen Electric Power Company, so there is no shortage of teachers in the East African National Electric Power University.

Because Hexingen Power Company itself is one of the world's giants in the field of electric power, it has gathered a group of top electric power experts in this era.

Therefore, with the support of Hexingen Power, the East African National Electric Power University can easily hire European experts and scholars in the field of electricity to teach.

One of them is the young scholar Nikola Tesla, who is now just a little-known figure in Europe.

But he has been treated differently in East Africa, and of course, he has also lost his freedom, and his family has moved to Soga, and if nothing else, the future is bound to East Africa.

As for how Tesla was acquired by East Africa, there is actually nothing particularly worth saying.

Tesla was a Croatian from Austria-Hungary, and the most powerful power company in Austria-Hungary was the Heshingen Power Company.

Unlike Germany, which also has a Siemens and Heshingen power company, Austria-Hungary is the only one that belongs to the Hexingen power company.

Therefore, as long as you are a student and scholar in the relevant field of Austria-Hungary, you will inevitably deal with the Hexingen Electric Power Company.

So the young Tesla naturally got in touch with the Heshingen Power Company, and it was in 1875 that he entered the Graz University of Technology in Austria to study physics, mathematics and mechanics, and achieved excellent results and received a scholarship from the Austrian "Military Border Authority".

Under the guidance of Professor Boehill, who teaches theoretical and experimental physics, Tesla was attracted to electricity, but in the second year, the "military border authorities" revoked the bursary, and Tesla faced a crisis of dropping out, after all, Tesla's family is not wealthy, of course, this is only relatively, if you can't solve the problem of tuition fees, you can only go to the University of Prague, where tuition fees are relatively low.

Of course, this is only the history of a past life, and this time and space have changed, as an excellent student under Professor Boehill, after learning about his predicament.

Professor Boehir referred him to the Vienna branch of the Heshingen Power Company and received a scholarship.

But the condition is that its future is bought by East Africa, which is a regular measure used by East Africa to attract talent.

Therefore, Tesla, which has excellent grades, directly entered the talent introduction list in East Africa after graduation, and Ernst will personally pass the talent introduction list every year.

Because there are really not many scientific researchers to develop in East Africa, it doesn't take much effort for Ernst, and Ernst saw Tesla at a glance in the list, so naturally this fledgling young graduate student has become the focus of the East African government, and directly entered the East African National Electric Power University as a professor, and is equipped with laboratories and assistants, which must be flattered by Tesla.

And Ernst has no other action except to give Tesla the green light, after all, now that the road has been paved, whether Tesla can achieve the achievements of the previous life depends entirely on the will of God.

In addition to teaching in East Africa, Tesla is more interested in the study of alternating current, and during his studies at the Graz University of Technology, he began to think about machines that could replace DC motors.

Therefore, after arriving in East Africa, the application was "easily" approved by the East African government, and the original vision began to be realized.

"Good morning, Mr. Tesla, are you still working on your alternating current?"

"Yes, Professor Kyle, I think alternating current will definitely be promoted on a large scale like direct current in the future, both have their advantages and disadvantages, but one more option is also good for East Africa."

"The direction or magnitude of the current in direct current is constant, while the current in alternating current changes differently over time. Both are very common in the application of society, the typical application of direct current is the battery, with the battery many electrical appliances can participate in the operation. ”

"Another advantage of alternating current is that it can be used to boost or buck voltage, and the efficiency of power generation is higher, and the equipment used for production is simpler and more convenient, and there is no obvious advantage over direct current in these aspects. And it is also very convenient to convert to direct current, if direct current to alternating current it is much more troublesome. ”

"Factories now use direct current to generate electricity, but direct current is easily dissipated in the process of transporting power through wires, and it is also very inefficient, and the direct current system requires a power station for every square mile, and the transmission distance is very limited because of the excessive losses in the transmission process.

The wire used in the alternating current system is thinner, the voltage is higher, the transmission loss is small, the transmission distance is long, the facility investment is lower, and the electricity price is cheaper. Obviously, alternating current is more advantageous, and East Africa is a vast country with a need for long-term power transmission, so my project has received strong support from the government, and they have also equipped me with the best laboratories and assistants. ”

Professor Kyle didn't know much as a botanist, but he still asked, "So you have carved out a new path based on tradition, what do you mean?" ”

"That's not really, at most, new branches will grow on the trunk of the big tree, and in essence, it will continue to move forward on the shoulders of the predecessors." Tesla said modestly.

"But I still have to remind you that direct current has been used for nearly a hundred years after all, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be replaced by your alternating current,"

Tesla said: "Since 1660, the German scientist Alto von Gorrick built the first electrostatic generator, known as the "father of modern electricity", since then officially opened the research of human beings on electricity, until now electricity has become a new industry that can promote social progress, its importance is no less than the invention and improvement of the steam engine, so the research on electricity is endless. ”
