Nicholas made it!
His new toy successfully conquered the navy!
The superior performance of electric torpedoes immediately made them the new favorite of the navy. That was when the navy decided to invest a large amount of money in the research of electric torpedoes.
However, Nicholas withdrew from the research and development team.
"This work is no longer attractive to me. I hope to engage in more groundbreaking research."
I have to say, a great guy is a great guy.
Faced with such a unique figure, the navy’s reaction was... blinding.
It has personality, I like it, let’s cooperate next time.
Of course, unlike the short-lived Edison who "played an American joke" on him in another world, the Imperial Navy was very generous. The Navy directly wrote a check for 50,000 US dollars to acquire the patent.
The development of the empire's science and technology benefits from the respect for knowledge.
Nicholas, who became rich overnight, was a little confused when faced with the check. He didn't know how to spend the money.
When he returned to Nanhua on his vacation by airship, the only way Nicholas could think of spending money was to use it in his laboratory. Of course, he did not forget his family back home in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"...I hope this money can improve your life. I look forward to meeting you in Ming Dynasty. Your loyal son, Nikola Tesla"
After writing the remittance slip at Huitong Bank, Nicholas left the bank and walked alone on the streets of Nanhua.
After walking on the street for a while, Nicholas stepped into a nearby park. At this time, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The electric torpedo was over for Nikola, and the rest didn't matter.
In fact, the original intention of studying electric torpedoes was electric motors - the military's induction motors had better performance.
It turned out to be a very unfulfilling job.
Why don’t I feel a sense of accomplishment?
Because it's not groundbreaking!
"What I need is a creative job!"
As they walked in the park, Nicholas muttered to himself that he was a little confused now.
"Perhaps, I should go to the Central Laboratory to continue my studies. There are many excellent theories there waiting for me to realize."
When this thought came to his mind, he heard the sound of music.
The music came from above his head - an electric horn on the road.
Electric horn!
That is the reed horn, which is a loudspeaker invented in the Ming Dynasty. Although its application in the market is mainly concentrated in places such as cinemas, theaters or auditoriums, in the city centers of many cities in the Ming Dynasty, there are broadcasts connected by wire lines, and there are thousands of reed horns in the urban area of Nanhua.
It starts on time at 7 am and 5 pm every day. It starts with music, interspersed with some advertisements, and then some news.
The music from the electric speakers has long been a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, and has even been included in many people's travel notes about the Ming Dynasty.
After coming to Nanhua for so many years, Nicholas has long been accustomed to the music on the radio. Under the beautiful melody of the music, Nicholas continued to walk along the path in the park. When he came to the artificial lake, Nicholas was fascinated by the magnificent sunset in front of him as soon as he looked up.
Watching the sunset paint the sky a crimson red, Nicholas' heart was moved with indescribable emotions.
"The glory fades, our laborious day is done; it hurries away, exploring new fields of life, ah, no wings can lift me from this land... In the orbit he follows, following the soaring?"
As Nicholas was quoting this passage from Goethe's Faust, when he was reciting the last line, he was suddenly attracted by an overwhelming scene.
Looking up at the sky, he seemed to see the crimson sunset glow change. He saw the sunset glow turn into a huge vortex, turning into a starry sky. In that starry sky, the sun was rotating eternally, passing through the earth with infinite power.
Completely immersed in this inexplicable scene, he suddenly became nervous and slow to react... He even felt a strong fear in his heart.
He felt his body and mind buzzing under the visual impact, and suddenly he blurted out as if he had realized something,
"Yes, that's it, that's my radio broadcast... I saw it, I saw it..."
Almost everyone saw a young European youth shouting and jumping excitedly by the artificial lake, mumbling words that others could not understand.
What is he talking about?
People looked at him from afar, and some even thought that this guy had completely lost his mind.
He seemed to have really lost his mind, and even jumped into the lake in excitement, dancing in the water and splashing waves. Seeing this, those who were originally just watching from afar ran over and pulled him out of the lake.
He resisted the efforts of the crowd until the sight faded, and then he moved and allowed himself to be dragged ashore. When he was finally led to a bench, he seemed completely changed.
At this time, there was still a smile on his face. He looked at the sky happily and murmured.
"I seem to have received a revelation..."
…
Emperor Zhu didn't know whether Nicholas had received the revelation or not, but when he learned that this guy had invented the electric torpedo, he was silent for a long time before he spoke.
“Fifty thousand yuan is a bit too little!”
The reason for saying this is that I feel a little sorry for this genius in the scientific world, Emperor Zhu, who invented the induction motor.
Unlike following the path of Edison, who died with no way out, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for plagiarizing Tesla, a tragic inventor, his inventions such as alternating current and induction motor. After all, Tesla's practice of giving up many patents such as alternating current and making his patents public was not only selfless, but also benefited the whole world.
But to the surprise of Emperor Zhu, although Nikola Tesla's alternating current and many inventions were "plagiarized" by him in advance, this guy not only made a great breakthrough in the "X-ray machine", but also invented the electric torpedo soon after entering the central laboratory. Such a speed is a bit incredible!
"Gold will always shine!"
After sighing like this, Emperor Zhu said again.
"There will always be a chance to make it up to him later!"
Emperor Zhu was full of expectations for Nicholas. To a certain extent, he hoped that Nicholas would be to the Ming Dynasty what Edison was to the United States. In this peaceful era, he would create a miracle of an inventor...
