Volume IV Boom 16 Nicholas's Radio Broadcasts

In the morning, the bright sun fills Hollywood, waking up the sleeping people. Not only are there movies, but there is also a peaceful university, and numerous real rooms.

A lean old man came out of the still lit room, yawned, and stretched, "What a rare good weather!" He sighed.

"Mr. Tesla, it's nice weather like this almost every day." A female voice beside him said.

Twenty-seven eight, short hair, a few cute little freckles on the face, as Nikolai? Tesla's secretary is a capable woman.

"Oh, is it? It's such a great place. Nikolai rubbed his tired face and brought his mind back to reality from the wonderful ideas.

"Sir, today you are going to meet Miss Laura, the president of the William Foundation, and discuss with her about funding the trial, our budget is not enough." Doroti reminded.

If it weren't for her to take care of the day-to-day affairs, Nikolai? Tesla's life is going to be a mess.

"Got it. You inform the real room and let them experiment with a higher power transmitter with a range of at least 100 km. Nikolai commanded. And remember to bring our gadgets. ”

After a change, under Doroti's urging, he deliberately changed into a high-end suit, got into the car sent by the school, and went to William's Manor.

William's estate is located on Beverly Hills in Hollywood, less than 10 kilometers from William's University below, and it won't be long before Nikolai arrives.

This was not the first time Nikolai had visited the school, and every time Nikolai went to the headmaster, Straton, and the cunning carpenter pushed him up the hill and spent more money on other aspects of the school. Because he knew that the generous William family was very good for Nikolai? Tesla almost does everything you need.

Laura meets with William's most precious asset, Nikolai? Tesla, while stroking his round belly, beckoned the guests to sit down.

"Mom, who is this old man? Why haven't you seen it? Little Andy leaned beside Laura, staring at the bad old man with round eyes, very curious.

"This is Nikolai? Mr. Tesla, he's very capable and can make a lot of great things. Laura laughed.

"Do you know how to make rock sugar gourds?" Little Andy asked expectantly.

Ever since he passed through Chinatown with Situ Nan and ate a rock sugar gourd, this guy has never forgotten it. In his opinion, it is a great thing to be able to make rock sugar gourds.

"Huh. Mr. Tesla doesn't know how to cook, but he can make a lot of fun things. Laura explained.

Nikolai looked at the mother and son with some inexplicability what kind of rock sugar gourd they discussed, and after knowing that the rock sugar gourd was a snack food, he smiled.

"Doroti, bring us our gifts." Nikolai? Tesla commanded.

In a few moments, a wooden box with metal buttons was placed in front of Laura.

"It's the radio, I made it from the real room, and I can listen to the radio! Let me demonstrate. Nikolai laughed.

This thing had been in the real room for several months, and he put it aside after playing with it, busy with other research.

In little Andy's surprise, Nikolai plugged in the wire and fiddled with the box, and the box made a rustling sound, which was amazing!

"Rustle!" The sound of an electric current. Nikolai spun a few buttons, didn't hear what he wanted, and frowned.

"The radio isn't on!" Doroti reminded.

"Oh! How did I forget about jì? Do you think something is wrong with this guy? Nikolai patted his head. Staying up late last night didn't make him in good spirits.

He hurriedly called the real yàn room. "Turn on the radio broadcast, I'm going to test it!" Nikolai said into the phone.

"Who are you? I couldn't do this without the approval of Nikolai's crazy old man! ”

The guy on the other end of the phone obviously didn't have a very good understanding, and he answered casually when he picked up the phone, as if he hadn't woken up yet. Or maybe you didn't sleep all night, following Nikolai? Tesla's real team members often stay up all night.

"I'm the crazy old man Nikolai you call you. Hurry up! I'm going to receive a wonderful Mozart in three minutes! ”

With a snap, Nikolai put down the phone.

Laura looked at the lovely old man with a smile, and liked his pure, non-utilitarian personality, but he had a big temper and some quirks.

She knew that the box was called a radio, but it was a little different from the ore radio she had remembered.

Early ore radios did not need to be plugged in, but they were very ineffective and only allowed one person to listen to some messy signals. Except for radio amateurs with professional knowledge, the average person has no access to radio.

Three minutes later, still not hearing the broadcast he was expecting, Nikolai picked up the microphone and urged: "I'm Mr. Tesla, may I ask if the broadcast is on." ”

"It's on. Your favorite Mozart. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Are you sure?"

“？？？？？？”

Syllable!

Nikolai put down the phone, frowned and looked at the radio that "pretended to be deaf and dumb", looking a little annoyed and feeling embarrassed.

Could it be that it has been placed in the real yàn room for too long? Obviously, I used it well last time. Well, when was the last time?

Although he had already had the idea of setting up a wireless broadcast, and the sample was made, he was immediately distracted by other realities.

The genius really can't help it, but in order to show the results of his research, he has to fiddle with Laura, the big benefactor, otherwise the next research fund will not be so easy to get.

Nikolai looked a little strange, and he walked over and twitched the radio case hard with his large thin hand.

Syllable!

The crowd was amazed!

At this moment, a clear music came out of the radio, which was Mozart's characteristic freshness and lightness.

It's done!

Everyone looked at Nikolai with appreciation? Tesla.

Nikolai squinted, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, looking a little smug. After a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a little dissatisfied.

"The power of the radio is not strong enough, and the sound is a little distorted. Radio detection needs to be improved, and a better amplifier is needed?????? Also, it's a bit bulky. Nikolai muttered as he instructed Doroti to write down the question.

"Great, amazing radio, much clearer than the ore radio, well, it's also louder, and it can be listened to by more people."

Laura praised. At home, there are a lot of various inventions and gadgets collected by Situ Nan.

"Mom, can I touch the box?" Little Andy asked.

Laura looked at Nikolai. Nikolai smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Tesla agreed, you have to thank him." Laura smiled at her son.

Little Andy's clumsy little hand tentatively touched the box that made the sound, feeling that there was no danger, and the little face smiled proudly.

After looking at it curiously, he asked in a milky voice, "Is there a villain in the box?"

Everyone couldn't help but be happy, this kid was so cute.

"There are no villains in there, and the voice comes from far away, like you hear your dad on the phone." Laura explained.

"Oh!" Little Andy tilted his head and thought about it, hazy, a little dazed, and seemed to understand something.

I saw the strange old man twisting the box just now, and he also learned to twist it, but the sound disappeared immediately.

"Mom, it's bad. They're gone! Little Andy looked at Laura a little nervously, as if he had made a mistake. Of course, he also stubbornly believes that the box contains the villain.

Laura walked over, tried to fiddle with the radio, turned the buttons, and in a moment the sound was clear again. I tried twice and finally locked on a frequency.

Seeing that Laura was self-taught, Nikolai was a little surprised.

"Is it hard to make this radio?" Laura asked.

"It's not difficult. There must be enough tubes though. Nikolai replied.

"Madame, this is a very interesting thing, put up an antenna on high ground, turn the sound into a radio signal that can be transmitted to distant places, and then it can be restored by the radio?????"

"It's like wireless telegraphy, isn't it?" Laura asked.

Nikolai nodded.

"With these radios, even if you are far away, you can receive our broadcasts and enjoy the information provided by the radio. At that time, the radio will be able to connect everyone. ”

Nikolai explained: "Because our transmitter is on the roof of the real yàn room at the bottom of the mountain, the power is limited, so the reception effect is not optimal. If—"

"A very meaningful invention. Mr. Tesla, your talent is admirable. I think we should spread the word about this good thing and serve more people. ”

Laura nodded in understanding. "Is there anything the William Foundation can do for you?"

"Of course." Nikolai? Tesla nodded and said politely, "I have already made a sample, but the transmission distance is limited, and it needs to be further improved, but it is enough to add up a smooth broadcast system."

We've run out of budget to build a real broadcast system in Los Angeles. So financially-"

"Mr. Stratton has already mentioned this matter to me, and I agree in principle. Discuss with the Foundation! Laura readily agreed.

In terms of radio, there is no one more than Nikolai? Tesla is more authoritative.

"By the way, I have also made progress in the high-voltage transmission project, and the transmission technology that is more advanced than Westinghouse has reached a critical stage, so I also need to ?????? in terms of funding."

"And some of my ideas in the field of engines??????"

"And ??????"

Nikolai? Tesla took out a list from his pocket, which densely listed all kinds of equipment and instruments, and all kinds of practical expenses??????? Well, this is what the secretary has prepared for him a long time ago.

"Anything else?" Laura looked at Nikolai? Tesla, with a smile on his face.

"Let's do this for now! But I need to do everything I can to set up a broadcasting system. Nikolai reminded.

"You'll get your way, I promise." Laura said.

She discussed Nikolai with Situ Nan? Tesla's real yàn problem, generally unless it is Nikolai? Tesla's few whimsical projects, which were approved by Situ Nan, will be approved by others.

So Nikolai? The more Tesla researches, the higher the return on the William Foundation in the future, of course, this astronomical investment is not something every company can afford.

"Can this radio stay?" Laura asked. Seeing little Andy's curious look, she rarely offered to ask for this toy for her son.

"Of course!" Nikolai said briskly, and was about to say goodbye after speaking, and returned to the real yàn room at the bottom of the mountain, but was stopped by Laura.

"Can you help me with a little favor?" Laura suddenly remembered and asked.

"Please!" Nikolai? Tesla is particularly patient for the sake of money.

"It's about sound film technology, and we need a technology that is more practical, beyond the sound film technology invented by Edison. I hope you can give Cummins Electric some guidance, can you? ”

"Edison?" Nikolai? Tesla's brow furrowed instinctively, then nodded again, "I see." ”

Whatever Nikolai? Tesla admit it or not, Thomas? Edison was a strong being.

Perhaps compared to Nikolai's genius head, Edison's IQ seems ordinary, but what is very terrifying is that Edison's talent in business is more than a few streets higher than Nikolai's, at least Edison's General Electric is a behemoth in the electrical field, and it is also the object that Situ Nan wants to catch up.

"Only by skillfully applying scientific and technological inventions in the field of industrial production can the value of scientists' wisdom be maximized."

On the way down, Nikolai? Tesla suddenly remembered this sentence, which was what Situ Nan once said to him.

The William Foundation approved Nikolai's application with great efficiency, investing an initial $100,000 to build a broadcasting system in Hollywood, which was tested well and then rolled out throughout Los Angeles.

When President Stratton heard the news, he was very excited and selected a group of students from the School of Electrical Engineering to participate in the PA system project.

Over the next month, a group of engineers came to the top of Beverly Hill and built a house on the hill to pull long wires from the power station.

Hollywood was a sensation because a tall iron tower was added to the top of the hill, and long iron rods towered in mid-air, resembling lightning rods.

Many people found it interesting and ran straight up the mountain. It's a pity that he was stopped halfway up the mountain, because it was private territory.

People are like this, the more they are not allowed to get it, the more they want to know, and often self-righteously tell others about their prejudices, in order to spread falsehoods, and after countless upgrades, the final version is 108,000 miles away from the real imagination, which is farther than the distance of radio broadcasting.

"Did you hear that? Nikolai? Mr. Tesla is going to be real! ”

"yes, look at the high antenna, and the university students and engineers who have been running up the hill for the past few days, pulling the whole vehicle of equipment."

"Nikolai? Tesla? Oh my God, that madman, those antennas are the devil's tools, he's going to kill us. ”

"Why?"

"You don't know! I came from the Colorado River, and that madman had built a tower in Colorado, and it was tall and big, and it was discharged, and every night the sky was thundering, and the devil was roaring, and it was terrible. Everyone said that the madman wanted to destroy us.

So my grandfather fled to California with his family, and within a few days, he heard a big explosion, and the tower was blown away, and the surrounding villages were gone.

It's terrible, this devil is coming to California, hurry up and call the police, or he will really kill us. ”

Hearing that a certain person has delusional persecution, many people recall Nikolai? Some of Tesla's deeds were even believed to be true and fled to Mexico overnight.

The reporters seemed excited, and after the strike tide in various places gradually subsided, all the reporters seemed to lose their excitement all at once.

Now the events of the Tower in Hollywood are back in their excitement, and frenzied journalists are pouring into Hollywood.

Especially a reporter with rich imagination, they got the so-called first-hand material for the first time, and then tried their best to do what they could, and the result was that the streets were full of all kinds of absurd and exaggerated truths.

Hollywood is meant to be a place of right and wrong, Nikolai? Tesla's broadcast actually provoked people's gossip psychology and caused public panic on a certain stage.

This is a headache for the police station, where the phone is flooded and the poor operator doesn't know how to comfort the timid and delusional fragile minds.

"Madam, this matter has caused discussion in the society, and I am here today to understand the specific situation on behalf of the police station." A white and chubby middle-aged man sat in front of Laura with some sneer.

"Sheriff James, Mr. Tesla is doing a big broadcast and they're building a transmitter in the mountains, it's not some kind of killing game in the newspapers. Otherwise, wouldn't it be those of us who live in the mountains who will die? ”

Laura replied. She was a little disgusted with the flattering appearance of the fat man opposite, but she still patiently explained. Halfway up Beverly Hill belongs to the territory of the William family, and the computer room is built on the top of the mountain, so ordinary people can't go up the mountain, so they can only look at the high antenna at the bottom of the mountain and think about it.

"Oh! That's good! I don't believe in that nonsense either. However, at this time, it has already had a huge impact on the public, so it is better to try your best to make things come to an end! ”

James laughed. While looking at the legendary William solemnly, he secretly marveled in his heart. Don't look like you're a sheriff, but you're not even a fart in front of these big guys.

"Thank you, Mr. Sheriff, for your concern. The matter will soon come to an end. Laura replied lightly, showing the majesty of the mistress in front of the sheriff.

Sensing the other party's cold attitude, James realized that it was time for him to leave.

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

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

"Thank you, ma'am. I think the lads in the bureau will love this kind of broadcasting. James laughed and went back satisfied.

Watching the police car leave, Laura shook her head, she didn't expect such a big storm because of this, she thought about it and felt that the attention aroused was enough, and she should do her best to carry out the plan.
