The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 165

"Nicholas, there is a project that you need to complete this time. You first look at this information." Situ Nan said straightforwardly, and handed over the mine plan to Nicholas Stella.

"Oh? Antenna trigger mine?" Nikola Tesla asked.

"Yes, mines. They are mainly used to block submarines. Why? Is there a problem?" Situ Nan asked with concern. He had already patted his chest with the Roosevelt family. If he couldn't do it, he would lose face. .

Nikola Tesla quickly flipped through the data, thought for a while, and said: "There is not much technical difficulty, it should not be difficult. It's just that the fuze production is a little troublesome."

Situ Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "Give you three months, oh no, half a year, can you make it?"

As for what is technically difficult, professionals should worry about it. He is only responsible for paying, and it is enough to get a clear answer from Nikola Tesla.

"Three months? No, I can design it in one month." Nikola Tesla said confidently. In his opinion, getting a mine is a piece of cake.

"Okay. I have prepared the funds. This is the research funding of 50,000 US dollars. The remaining 50,000 US dollars will arrive next month. If you need any specific help, you can go to the Bethlehem Arms Manufacturing Company. I have already talked to them. Having said that, they will fully support your experiment."

After talking about the mine, Nikola Tesla did not leave immediately. He hesitated and said: "Mr. William, besides the mine, the other aspects of cooperation we talked about last time..."

After meeting with Situ Nan, Nikola Tesla solved some of the accounting problems, and then went back to reflect on why the pioneer scientist of electric power science that he pioneered fell into bankruptcy.

Looking back on it, I found that Situ Nan was right: Although he was very extensive in theoretical research, these theoretical ideas were often absorbed by others, and finally achieved results and became others' honor.

And I am indulged in those projects that cost a lot of money. These projects are all Wordencliff-style projects with no economic benefits, so they are not accepted by the society.

Therefore, due to a long period of no results, investors have gradually lost their confidence, and even the Morgan family, who had been optimistic about themselves, would not reply to themselves.The research is unsustainable, and I am downcast every time.

Nikola Tesla still remembers the embarrassment in court last year, and Edison's proud look, he wanted to be like a thorn in his heart.

Especially, recently there is a stupid and sympathetic fellow Berende engineer who wants to award himself the Andison Medal?What a shame!

Thinking of this, Nikola Tesla said suddenly: "I want to continue to make greater achievements in power and radio, so I hope to get the support of Mr. William, full support."

Nikola Tesla looked at Situ Nan firmly, as if made up his mind.

"Mr. Tesla, I want to know why you suddenly made such a big change. A few days ago, you promoted your bladeless fluid turbine power generation technology to me, and now you are talking about focusing on electrical research. Is it a story? Can you tell me something?"

Situ Nan said, facing Nikola Tesla’s eager eyes, looking at this "heresy" who is about to be rejected by the orthodox society, to see if he really "repents", afraid that this guy Nikola will fool himself, and continue Those projects like the Wardencliff Project.

"It's not the damn Edison Medal. That self-righteous Belend engineer insisted that Mr. Tesla accept the Edison Medal! He has been here several times, and it looks annoying. Don't you know that Edison is our mortal enemy? ?"

Dorothy Scarlett said angrily that she was the female assistant who came with Nikola Tesla, and couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this.

That's why Situ Nan thought to himself that those guys are really not authentic, and they specially sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, can they stimulate a stubborn guy like Nikola Tesla a lot?

Situ Nan laughed a little in his heart, but his face was filled with righteous indignation: "How can they do this? Too bully, right?"

Nikola Tesla was a little bit painful. After a while, he said with emotion: "Stone, I understand your worry, you are afraid that I will engage in unrealistic experiments, right?

I am 61 years old. I don’t have the urge to change the world. I just want to restore the dignity of a scientist, the last struggle of a man!Rather than end the rest of my life alone in a small hotel."

Nikola Tesla's tone was unconcealed with depression, as if he had seen through Situ Nan's mind, he was more emotional for his own experience.

Dorothy Scarlett was already in tears.She was by the side of this genius man, and knew his bleak embarrassment better than anyone else, so she would not leave it even if she didn't pay her salary.

Situ Nan felt grief and sorrow at the thought of the dreary old age of Nikola Tesla, a genius scientist, and should give him a hand!

"Fack! Go to his Edison Medal! Go to his hypocritical Electrical Engineers Association, Nicholas, I support you, let's go to the West! Everything is prepared for you there, and we are going to do something. Let the snobs in New York see who is the greatest scientist in the world!"

Situ Nan shouted, feeling that the victim's experience was suddenly transferred to him!But my heart is full of joy: no one does not know the genius of Nikola Tesla, but this genius often does the things that "heavens" do in the world, because it is too much to surpass ordinary people, but it is not People understand.

Now, when this guy was getting old, he became more realistic after being stimulated by the Edison Medal. He decided that the prodigal son turned his head back. How could Situ Nan not be excited?

He believed that as long as Nicholas had half the pragmatism of Edison, then his ability to erupt again would be amazing.I hope that this genius buried in history can replay its dazzling brilliance, instead of becoming a "dove in a small hotel"!

Fly!Nikola Tesla!For the last dignity!

Chapter 144 Chrysler Company

Water Chrysler finally came to the door.Since this guy was fooled by Situ Nan last time, he had no intention of working at General Motors, and he was always hesitating whether to hop to Situ Nan's automobile company.

After hearing about the acquisition of Maxwell Motors a few days ago, Walt Chrysler could not sit still anymore. He felt that he could not give up this golden opportunity anyway.

After waiting for two days in New York, Walter Chrysler asked eagerly as soon as they met: "Mr. William, is your promise still valid last time? I have already considered it."

After speaking, he held his breath and looked at Situ Nan, feeling a little nervous, afraid that Situ Nan would change his attention.

Situ Nan didn't speak, but looked at Walter Chrysler with an interesting look. Why did you feel that this guy's posture suddenly dropped a lot?

At the beginning, I was still trying to persuade this guy, but I didn't expect to meet again after a while, and Walter Chrysler looked a little impatient.

Situ Nanbei showed his teeth and smiled: "Of course! My promise is still valid. You are welcome to join us, Mr. Chrysler! Oh, no, I should call Walter more cordial."

Situ Nan laughed and shook Water Chrysler's hand.I don't know when to start, he is already very skilled in this movement.

"Thank you. Mr. William, I believe you will see my results soon."

Water Chrysler said excitedly that he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time. The last time was when he gave up the momentum of the railway business to join General Motors.

"This is my second automotive career, and I am about to create a car of my own brand." Water Chrysler said silently in his heart.

Life may lack an opportunity, it may be someone else gave you, or it may be created by yourself, but as long as you grasp it tightly, some people can achieve a different life.

"You can do it, Walter! Work hard, one day, there will be a sign on the front of the cars running on the street outside, that is Chrysler!"

Situ Nan did not forget to encourage.

He wanted to pat Walter Chrysler's shoulder, but seeing the man in front of him was stronger and taller than himself, and he was playing much older than himself, it felt a little funny, and he couldn't help but hang down in midair.

Walt Chrysler didn't know what his trajectory in the second half of his life was in history, but at this moment he was moved by Situ Nan's trust.

"By the way, Walt, I have something to tell you about the car company." Situ Nan called Walter Chrysler to do it, and asked, "Do you know the tanks on the European battlefield?"

Walter Chrysler nodded. As the vice president of General Motors in charge of automobile production, how could he not know about tanks?

In addition to tanks, there are also armored vehicles. Many new types of war equipment have appeared on the battlefield in Europe for the first time, which has aroused strong attention from the American automobile industry. Only then did they know that vehicles can also be used to fight in this way.

"Okay! This is the case. The British didn't get good results when they invested in tanks for the first time. Now France has also begun to produce tanks in large quantities.

You know, the war was fought in their country, and the industries in northern France were destroyed by the war, so the production was insufficient. Although their tank Renault F-17 was good, but the number was not enough, the French side hoped that the American manufacturer could Provide them with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles and other equipment."

Before Situ Nan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Walter Chrysler, and saw him interject: "Mr. William, there is a Chinese legislation in China. We can't provide the other side with a weapon like a tank."

Walter Chrysler reminded.As soon as Situ Nan said, he understood what it meant.However, he had reservations about the production of tanks, and felt that Situ Nan was a bit whimsical.

"Medium legislation? Oh, no, no, listen to me!" Situ Nan said disdainfully, "Walter, you are not so naive, do you? You know? Your good friend Dodge brothers, they provide a lot of European Trucks, aren’t the Dodge trucks running around the streets of France now as weapons?

Now the French not only drove American-made trucks to transport troops, they also erected machine guns in front of the cars, installed steel plates and converted them into armored cars, chasing the Germans!Why can't we do what they can do!

Walter, the Chinese legislation is not a problem. The big deal is that we can ship the produced parts and let the French assemble them by themselves. In short, this is a big deal."
