Chapter 486 All-rounder Zhao Chuanxin(1/2)
Nikola Tesla looked at Zhao Chuanxin proudly.
This is real radio.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at Nikola Tesla with innocent eyes: "Then what?"
What's the use of this?
Can you install light bulbs at home or outdoors?
Nikola Tesla: "..."
Tired.
Ignorance.
Nikola Tesla said excitedly: "This shows that my experiment has been completed without the construction of Wardenclyffe Tower.
Wireless power transmission saves the cost of transmission cables and the loss of transmission resistors.
The earth is the inner conductor, and the earth's ionosphere is the outer conductor. The radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode of my amplified transmitter outputs multiple harmonics of the resonance cavity, realizing surface electromagnetic waves surrounding the earth to transmit energy.
Isn't this enough?"
Zhao Chuanxin took a big gulp of beer and his face immediately turned red.
His eyes became even redder: "So, is my Thor's hammer still there?"
I won't let you know why your eyes are so red.
Nikola Tesla lowered his head slightly: "Yes, it is, but I don't want to restore it."
"So, you dismantled my Thor's hammer and made a flashlight that is not very portable? Are you going to show me this?" Zhao Chuanxin said to his apprentice: "Benjamin, show him what a portable outdoor light is.
."
Benjamin Goldberg took out the lantern flower and chanted a few spells. The lantern flower gradually brightened and emitted a soft light.
The whole room was stunned.
Even Nikola Tesla frowned: "Is this some kind of lighting device disguised as a plant? Or is it voice-controlled?"
Benjamin Goldberg chants the mantra "Turn out the lights" again.
Zhao Chuanxin emphasized dissatisfiedly: "The key is not those, the key is, what is the function of this thing you modified?"
Nikola Tesla pointed at his instrument: "This is the parabolic cylindrical reflector, the magnetron of the transmitter, which converts the frequency-converted electrical energy of the Devil's Crystal into an electromagnetic beam, and the honeycomb receiver on the light bulb.
The power can be received by the device. It can be transmitted to any corner of the world without the problem of signal weakening.
That is to say, such a small device can realize wireless broadcasting on a global scale. Not only can it span the Atlantic, but it can also easily transmit signals across the Pacific to Asia.
I have mastered the technology of harnessing free energy that humans have dreamed of.
You know that the earth rotates. If I can install a device that converts the sun's energy into electrical energy in the earth's synchronous orbit, and then install an amplifying transmitter, then thousands of households can use it even without power stations or cables.
Electricity!"
After Nikola Tesla’s explanation, Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis couldn’t help laughing.
Miao Cuihua still doesn’t understand.
Freddie Pavitt's mouth twitched very covertly.
Do you still want to go to heaven?
They all think Nikola Tesla is a fantasy.
Similar to the views of the mainstream Western scientific community and the public at this time, they all feel that Nikola Tesla's words are more like witchcraft than science.
What about collecting the energy of the sun and what about going to the sky? This sounds so much like those fairy tales about absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
Benjamin Goldberg is trapped in a fantasy that he cannot extricate himself from.
Only Zhao Chuanxin's face suddenly turned solemn.
Hey, solar energy, right? Artificial satellite, right? Space power station, right?
This is not surprising to Zhao Chuanxian.
But Nikola Tesla thought of it, which shocked Zhao Chuanxin from the 21st century.
Zhao Chuanxin asked cautiously: "Then, are there any flaws?"
Nikola Tesla nodded: "Magnetrons are cheap to make, but have a short lifespan and are easily damaged. I haven't thought of a replacement yet."
Benjamin Goldberg, who was next to him, suddenly interjected: "Four characteristics: resistance decreases as temperature rises, photovoltaic effect, photoconductivity effect, and rectification effect in conductive direction. I think these four characteristics are related.
, have you thought of any materials?"
The more Nikola Tesla listened, the brighter his eyes became.
These four characteristics were discovered before the 1980s.
But so far no one has integrated and summarized them.
"I must admit that you are also a genius." Nikola Tesla praised him. "You mean the transistor, right?"
Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin: "Aren't these the four characteristics of semiconductors?"
"Semiconductors?" Nikola Tesla and Benjamin Goldberg both said at the same time.
The term semiconductor was first used in 1911.
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, you mean, semiconductors can replace the magnetron, right?"
In fact, semiconductors are not uncommon in this era. After all, crystal radios have already appeared, but they were called something else.
Nikola Tesla cleared the air: "Gentlemen, you have given me great inspiration."
Zhao Chuanxin also opened up the situation in his memory and smiled: "Also, when you talk about collecting solar energy, you can use crystalline silicon solar cells and then cover it with a layer of glass with good light-transmitting effect to achieve conversion.
Solar energy. This requires adding something to the silicon to make it more sensitive to light. I don’t know what it is specifically. But unfortunately, this kind of thing is not very sustainable and has a short lifespan.
.Once discarded, it cannot be recycled and toxic substances will harm the environment."
Some people in later generations said that Nikola Tesla was the father of solar energy.
But this is not the case.
Some of his ideas were avant-garde, but the first person to create a solar cell was American scientist Charles Fritz in 1883.
Add a little selenium to a thin layer of gold to form the world's first photovoltaic module.
Nikola Tesla's eyes were very bright: "Zhao, there is no doubt that you are also a genius."
Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis are impressed by their son's inspiration for inventive genius.
And I was at a loss as to what the three "geniuses" were talking about.
I can’t get a word in at all.
Rachel Kervis looked at Zhao Chuanxin curiously, what else could this person not know?
War can bring disgrace to the navy and army, and make business prosperous, but now they are also playing with high technology?
He also seems to know music and painting.
Can speak Chinese, English and a little Japanese.
Generalist?
"Excellent." Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "But I'm not interested in radio broadcasts or anything like that."
Nikola Tesla shook his head: "This is improving human life, I think it is very meaningful."
Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his index finger and waved: "No, no, don't think about improving human life. I pay you money just to let you change my life. I want a device that can make instant calls, a phone without wires
, or weapons and tools that can destroy evil forces."
In fact, Zhao Chuanxin also has imagination. He has constructed a scene long ago, and he is willing to pay money and time for that highlight moment in his life.
But no one knows what he is thinking.
A hot pot meal, spent eating, drinking, and chatting.
While drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Nicholas, I can put Thor's hammer with you first. R&D investment, as I said, has no upper limit. Do you want to go to Asia with me?"
Nikola Tesla hesitated: "You can go, but not now. Because of Wardenclyffe Tower, I owe Morgan a large sum of money. According to the other party's lawyer, even if Wardenclyffe Tower is demolished,
Tower, sell off the equipment, and I still have to pay off nearly $30,000 in debt. I need to get these things taken care of. I am also unwilling to dismantle Wardenclyffe Tower, where there are still several unfinished experiments."
"Morgan, right?" Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Those who besiege Guangmingding are usually these sanctimonious and well-known people. Tomorrow, I will help you pay it back. From now on, you can just do scientific research with peace of mind."
Nikola Tesla was not good at words, he just pursed his lips.
But everyone present felt that he was full of gratitude that could not be expressed.
In the evening, Zhao Chuanxin asked Freddy Pavitt to arrange for Nikola Tesla to stay at the manor.
Nikola Tesla had two meals a day, one at 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning and one at 7 or 8 in the evening.
I am very particular about my food and very cautious.
He hikes 10 miles every day to exercise.
