Chapter 878 Radio
Cooperative education is only a stopgap measure. This kind of university can only build a rough framework and still has a long way to go compared to a real university.
For example, many of the school’s current faculty and staff are college graduates who have just graduated. Some important positions are held by professors from the Stuttgart Higher Technical College. As for the president, he is a genuine East African.
Universities are one of the fronts of public opinion and thought. It is impossible for the East African government to allow this area to be stolen, especially when the ability and character of the German faculty and staff sent abroad are unclear.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much, especially for science and engineering schools like Dar es Salaam Polytechnic. If it were a comprehensive university, East Africa would not allow other countries to interfere!
…
First town city.
Today, the Svet Palace held a promotion ceremony for a scientist. Tesla, who was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was officially promoted from baron to count.
"Count Tesla, your invention will make you famous again in the history of East African technology in the future. This is a brand new chapter in the history of human communications."
Ernst looked at this great East African scientist who was younger than himself and said that in the past decade or so, Tesla had created tremendous value for East Africa's electricity, physics, mechanics and other fields, and made important contributions to improving East Africa's scientific and technological level.
After the AC high-voltage power transmission system became widely popular in East Africa, the young Tesla has made a name for himself in the East African technology community and has become a "national treasure" in East Africa. Of course, as early as when Tesla landed in East Africa, his "supervision" and security business had been taken over by the National Defense Security Agency under Ernst's authorization. If nothing unexpected happens, Tesla will become a household name like Edison in the future.
In his previous life, Edison was certainly more famous than Tesla. Even though his image as an old patent rogue collapsed due to the information explosion, his fame cannot be denied.
Although elementary school students all know the name of Edison, they only start to learn about Tesla in middle school.
Of course, comparing Tesla with Edison is a kind of devaluation of his status. After all, it is impossible for Edison to get the honor of "Count" now. After all, the United States is a republic.
Moreover, without being entangled in various mundane affairs, Tesla has carried out more than 200 important theoretical research and inventions in the past five years alone.
Moreover, the fields involved include energy, electricity, machinery, etc. Tesla also pointed out the direction for the development of major modern technologies such as radar principles, particle accelerators, radio-controlled weapons, and death ray weapons.
So Tesla alone is equivalent to the top scientific group of an entire country. East Africa really got a great bargain. In addition, East Africa has an early layout in the power sector and has made large investments. The number and quality of scientists and engineers in the power sector are not inferior to those in Europe and the United States. Therefore, East Africa's leading advantage in the power sector can be maintained for at least nearly a hundred years in the future.
The reason why Tesla's status is emphasized is because he is an "all-round" talent. In the field of science and technology, theory and application are two important directions, and Tesla is a top genius who can combine the two well.
This has been fully demonstrated when promoting the popularization of alternating current power systems in East Africa. Without Tesla, the popularization of alternating current power systems in East Africa would have been at least five to ten years later. People like Edison were at most "inventors" and businessmen, while Tesla was a combination of a scientist and an inventor.
"Around 1864, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell proposed the radio theory. In 1888, German physicist Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of radio waves. Now, Count Tesla, you are the pioneer leading mankind into the radio age." Ernst praised without reservation.
There have been many controversies about the invention of radio in history. The more famous ones include Lodge, Pupin, Edison, Feixianden, Slaby, Brown, Thomson and Stune, Popov, Marconi, Tesla, etc.
Now there is no need to argue. In East Africa, Tesla is the world's first inventor of radio. At the same time, with the support of the East African scientific community and the East African government, no one will be able to "steal" Tesla's achievements in the future.
Of course, it is unlikely that East Africa wants to block this technology. After all, radio research is being carried out simultaneously in many regions of the world and has achieved certain results. East Africa has only taken the title of "first".
"Your Highness, my achievements today are inseparable from the support of the government. This is not just my own achievement. The team behind me and the support of the government have saved me a lot of trouble, so I can concentrate on research."
Tesla did not take credit for himself at all, but expressed his gratitude to the East African government and relevant personnel. Ernst respected this scientist who was both talented and virtuous, and who was consistent in his words and deeds.
Of course, Tesla in history was not like this. In his previous life, Tesla also had lawsuits with Edison, Marconi and others because of conflicts of interest.
But this is understandable because the overall social values in the United States are like that. When entering the East African environment, Tesla no longer needs to consider too many issues from an "economic" perspective.
Because "wealth" itself means nothing in East Africa, Tesla has already gained both fame and fortune. Even if he just lies do nothing in the future, the East African government will not treat him unfairly. What's more, Tesla is passionate about the field of scientific research. Now his life goal is to drive the common progress of "all human society."
"Well, very good, Count Tesla, you are a respectable person. Although I am just a layman compared to you in the field of scientific research, I can still do some things within my ability. If you have any troubles or problems, you can contact me directly at Sweet Palace." Ernst promised directly.
It is worth mentioning that Ernst himself is also an "inventor". Although all of his works were plagiarized from his "previous life", no one knew it! Therefore, his identity as an "inventor" has always been talked about.
Therefore, Ernst and Tesla can barely be considered half "peers". Of course, Ernst can only tinker with some daily necessities, small furniture or small appliances, which is completely incomparable with a master like Tesla.
After a pleasant chat with Ernst, Tesla also met with senior East African officials from the military and various government departments. After all, the value of radio was clear and it was an important tool to change the country's status quo.
This also means that Tesla has officially become one of the top authorities in the East African scientific community, with government endorsement, and can even have the final say in his field like Lysenko in the Soviet Union.
Of course, Ernst would not allow Tesla to participate too much in politics, which would be a huge waste of resources. So Ernst emphasized: "As a government official, do not interfere too much with Count Tesla's work. Every achievement of Count Tesla is a great contribution to East African society. Even if it does not show its value at the moment, it may become the key to East African technological breakthroughs in the future. For such scientists, do not disturb them too much, but let them continue to shine for the world in the field of scientific research."
This is very important. After all, in his previous life, Hawking had to accept the invitation of "Epstein". Ordinary people do not know the inside story, but the impact is extremely bad. Therefore, Ernst should take the lead in respecting the scientific community, so that scientific researchers can better serve the East African society in a comfortable environment.
East African officials may not be able to do something so "outrageous", but they do use a lot of means such as cocktail parties and social events, so they need to be given a heads-up.
