The journey starts from the Titanic

"Scientifically applying scientific and technological inventions in the field of industrial production can maximize the value of scientists' wisdom."

When going down the mountain, Nikolai?Tesla suddenly remembered this sentence. This is what Situ Nan once said to him.

The William Foundation passed Nicola's experimental application with extremely high efficiency. The first phase invested US$100,000 to establish a broadcasting system in Hollywood, which was tested well and then promoted throughout Los Angeles.

Upon hearing the news, President Stratton was very excited and selected a group of students from the School of Electrical Engineering to participate in the broadcasting system project.

In the next month, a group of engineers came to the top of Beverly Mountain. They built a house on the mountain and pulled long wires from the power station.

Hollywood was a sensation, because a tall and visible iron tower was added to the top of the mountain, and the long iron rod stood in the air like a lightning rod.

Many people find it interesting and run straight up the mountain.It's a pity that I was stopped by someone halfway up the mountain because it was private territory.

People are like this. The more they don’t let him get it, the more he wants to know, and he often pretends to tell others about his prejudices. After countless upgrades, the final version is really far away. It's farther than radio broadcasting.

"Have you heard? Nikola? Mr. Tesla is going to experiment!"

"Yeah, look at the tall antenna, and the college students and engineering staff have been running up the mountain these days, pulling the entire car's equipment."

"Nikola? Tesla? God, that lunatic, those antennas are the tools of the devil, he is going to kill us."

"why?"

"You don't know! I came from the Colorado River. At that time, the madman built a tower in Colorado. It was tall and big, and it would discharge electricity. Every night the sky thunders constantly, the devil is roaring, which is very scary. Everyone. Everyone said that the lunatic wanted to destroy us.

So my grandfather took the whole family and fled to California, but within a few days, he heard a big explosion. The tower was blown up and the surrounding villages were gone.

It's terrible, this devil is coming to California, hurry up and call the police, otherwise he really wants to kill us."

Listening to someone suffering from delusional persecution, many people recalled Nicholas?Some of Tesla's deeds were even believed to be true and fled to Mexico overnight.

The reporters seemed very excited. After the strikes in various places gradually subsided, all reporters seemed to lose their excitement.

Now the tower incident in Hollywood regained their excitement, and crazy reporters poured into Hollywood.

Especially the imaginative tabloid reporters. They got the so-called first-hand material for the first time, and then tried their best to do things. As a result, the streets are full of absurd and exaggerated truths.

Hollywood is a place of right and wrong, Nikolai?Tesla's broadcast experiment has even provoke people's gossip psychology, and to a certain extent caused public panic.

This made the police station a headache. The phone in the police station was blown up. The poor operator didn't know how to comfort those timid and delusional fragile hearts.

"Madam, this matter has already aroused social discussion. I am here today to understand the specific situation on behalf of the police station." A white and fat middle-aged man sat in front of Laura with a smirk.

"Sergeant James, Mr. Tesla is conducting a significant broadcast experiment. They are building a launch station on the mountain. It is not a killing game described in the newspaper. Or else those of us who live on the mountain will die? ?"

Laura replied.She felt a little disgusted with the obsequious look of the fat man opposite, but she explained patiently.Mid-levels above the Beverly Hills belong to the domain of the William family. The computer room is built on the top of the mountain, and most people cannot go up the mountain. They can only dream of looking at the high antenna under the mountain.

"Oh! That's good! I don't believe in the nonsense either. But it has already had a huge impact on the public at this time, so it's better to let things have a result as soon as possible!"

James laughed.While looking at the solemnity of the legendary William, he secretly marveled.Don't think you are the sheriff, but you are not even a fart in front of these big people.

"Thank you Mr. Sheriff for your concern. This matter will soon have results." Laura replied lightly, showing the majesty of the hostess in front of the Sheriff.

Feeling the other side's indifferent attitude, James realized that he should leave.

"Mr. Sheriff, in order to show my respect to the police department, I would like to donate a batch of radios to the Los Angeles Police Department to provide you with credit services. I wonder if you can?"

Laura asked with a smile."Of course, the Hollywood police station will first enjoy the broadcast service, and the city-wide broadcast will have to be a little later."

"Thank you, ma'am. I think all the guys in the bureau will fall in love with this kind of broadcast." James smiled and went back contentedly.

Watching the police car leave, Laura shook her head. She did not expect such a big disturbance. She thought for a while and felt that the attention was enough, and the experiment should be planned as soon as possible.

Chapter 17

Laura's belly was stubborn, so she couldn't help but took the phone and called the laboratory.

"Miss Dorotti? Yes, this is Laura? William. The broadcast experiment should be implemented as soon as possible. Yes, I mean, please tell Mr. Tesla truthfully."

The next day, the "Los Angeles Times" published heavy news, "The genius scientist Nikola? Tesla is about to establish the first radio station in the United States in Hollywood. By then, William can be received within 50 kilometers of Beverly Hills. University’s live radio broadcast!

This is a great experiment, just like Manico launching radio waves in the Atlantic Ocean, heralding a new era of human information dissemination!

And isn’t our lovely Mr. Nicholas the inventor of radio?This is the pride of Los Angeles, the pride of California.We look forward to the spread of this brand-new media in Los Angeles and throughout the United States. I believe that day is not far away!"

When the "Los Angeles Times" came out, the nation was a sensation.Not only because of the broadcast experiment, but also because he is Nikolai?Tesla, an extraordinary genius.

Once he was in New York and Colorado's several experiments were eye-catching, but because of various reasons, the experiment failed, this genius slowly faded out of sight.

This time he made a comeback, and in Hollywood, a highly anticipated place, he once again became the focus.

After the bombing, the election of Harding, the dispatch of the Bureau of Investigation and other major incidents, after the wave of red terror gradually subsided, Nikolai?Tesla quickly caught people's attention like a star.

What kind of surprises will this devilish scientific madman bring to people, and will he succeed?

Many elderly people have some memories of the red age when American scientific inventions emerged several decades ago. Edison, Nicolas, Thompson, Marconi and many other geniuses competed in vivid memory. It is these. The invention of genius changed the United States and made this country stronger.

Not only are ordinary gossiping people who pay attention to Nicholas, many giants in the scientific world are also curiously turning their eyes to faraway California.

"That innocent and stubborn guy has gone to Los Angeles in the past few years. It seems to have changed a lot, but he is still so coquettish! Will he succeed?"

Edison put down the newspaper, some disdain, some expectation.

"That terrible genius head, if he wants to, he will succeed!"

Marconi sighed inwardly.In the field of radio, that genius's head is indeed more talented than himself, although he does not have such a flexible business acumen as his own.

When the news reached Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh, they felt like they had eaten flies."Damn it, obviously we were going to do this broadcast experiment first, and he actually let him go ahead of us. That liar deceived us. Damn, can our experiment be advanced...what? It's next month at the earliest... …"

An executive from Westinghouse roared angrily.It turns out that Westinghouse is also conducting similar experiments, but the progress is behind Nicholas?Tesla.

Nicholas once applied to Westinghouse to study the radio broadcasting project, but was rejected because Westinghouse planned to complete it independently and did not want Nicholas to intervene.

Although Nikolai's AC technology laid the foundation of Westinghouse, things have gone wrong, even the founder of the company, Weiss?House was squeezed out of Westinghouse, not to mention Nicholas, who has a bad reputation?Tesla?

"I hope that liar will fail!" Westinghouse expects, "Of course we must speed up the progress of the radio broadcast as soon as possible. What if he succeeds? The invention of alternating current does not mean that this technology can be successfully used. Only Westinghouse can It is the most influential electrical company!"

Putting aside all the jealous speculations of commercial competitors, American radio enthusiasts and many electrical engineers are looking forward to Nicholas?Many people even made a special trip to Los Angeles to experience this event for themselves.

"I still love tossing, too coquettish!" Situ Nan looked at the newspaper and smiled.In New York, he also had to care about what happened in Los Angeles.

"It's a pity that we are not here, otherwise we can participate in it." He Yongyuan said with some regret.

"It's nothing to be a pity. It's just an experiment. Success or failure is not too important. Wireless broadcasting technology is in a period of growth. In the future, more advanced technologies will emerge in an endless stream. A momentary lead does not mean too much. It is considered a win." Situ Nan said lightly.Having said that, I was very happy.

The next few years will be a time when commercial radio stations will flourish in the United States. There will be tens of thousands of radio stations in various states, large and small.

Giants like General Electric and Westinghouse Electric will soon be able to catch up with any effort.However, taking this opportunity to start Cummins Electric's reputation is also good!
