Chapter 63: Recruiting Talents 2
New York.
New Yorker Hotel, Room 3327.
A thin old man sat on a chair by the window, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, muttering to himself in a small and soft voice. "Whenever I close my eyes, I can always see what they can't see. I can see every particle curve thrown in the magnetic field, and I can also see the storm surge from the stars. I often see darkness, they wander around me like ghosts, and I can also see the most dazzling light, hidden deep in the heart of every silent person..."
Just then there was a knock on the door outside. "Mr. Tesla, room cleaning service."
"Come in." The old man responded without turning his head.
I saw a middle-aged woman in a cleaning uniform pushing a cleaning cart in. "Good morning, Mr. Tesla." After saying hello, the woman picked up the plug of the vacuum cleaner and plugged it into the socket, turning on the switch, and the noisy sound of "sizzling" instantly filled the whole room.
I saw the woman walking to the old man while cleaning the floor and whispering in his ear. "It's time to leave, Mr. Tesla."
"..." The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had been prepared. He stood up with the help of the armrest of the table and chair, walked to the clothes rack, took down a coat and put it on. "Let's go."
"Wait a moment." The woman said as she returned to the cleaning car, removed a board from the body of the cleaning car, and pulled out an unconscious person from it.
The old man looked at the woman in surprise as she put the stranger, who looked very similar to him, on the bed, and couldn't help wondering. "What is this for?"
The woman did not answer, but pointed to the empty space in the car and apologized. "Mr. Tesla, I can only wrong you for a while."
The old man finally reacted. "You want me to get in?! Why don't we walk out openly?!"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we can't even leave New York. Please hurry up, we are in a hurry." As she said that, she pulled the old man's arm without saying anything, and almost forced the old man in. "Mr. Tesla, please don't make a sound." After a word of warning, she put the board back.
She took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, flicked her finger, threw the cigarette with sparks on the bed, turned around and pushed the cleaning cart out of the room, and walked towards the elevator as if nothing had happened.
When the old man was helped out of the cleaning cart, he was already in a small space. "What is this place?"
"The hotel's delivery truck compartment." As soon as the voice fell, accompanied by the roar of the engine, the compartment began to tremble slightly, and it could be clearly felt that the car was moving forward.
"You..." Watching the woman take out a set of wigs, false beards, and big glasses from her bag, the old man showed a very speechless expression on his face. "Is it necessary to do this?"
"Of course." The woman said very seriously. "You are the important person No. 1 selected by His Highness, we can't have the slightest mistake."
"That His Highness..." The old man opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak, just shook his head slightly, letting the woman put the wig on his head and put on an exaggerated false beard.
In this way, they almost bypassed half of New York City, and after changing cars three times on the way, they arrived at the port and boarded a passenger ship to Europe.
A week later, the passenger ship finally arrived at Wilhelmshaven. After getting off the ship, the old man was sent to a private plane and flew directly to Berlin. He was warmly welcomed by Yannick at the palace. "Welcome, Mr. Tesla!" He has been secretly writing letters to this legendary figure over the years, and today he finally came.
After a few greetings, Yannick couldn't wait to ask. "Mr. Tesla, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Is the 'Tunguska explosion' your work?"
The Tunguska explosion occurred in 1908. At that time, it was still during the First World War, and the level of human technology was still in the most industrial state. At that time, human technological capabilities could only destroy the environment and some land at most, and it was far from being comparable to the current nuclear power. Even under that extreme condition, a shocking explosion occurred.
According to later interviews with people about this incident, a strong light illuminated the entire sky in the northwest of Lake Baikal. The shock wave generated by the explosion shattered all window glass within 650 kilometers. People on the entire Eurasian continent saw the white night sky and the huge mushroom cloud. At that moment, the world witnessed this miracle.
Later, scientists tested that the power of the Tunguska explosion was equivalent to 20 million tons of TNT explosives, and at least 2,000 square kilometers of trees and land were razed to the ground. The power of the explosion was not inferior to the later nuclear power.
You know, this was during World War I. No one or technology had the ability to create such terrifying energy. At that time, people had just invented machine guns and had not yet been put into the battlefield. Even the slightly larger howitzers had not been studied. Therefore, many people believed that this was a supernatural phenomenon and had nothing to do with humans.
But some people attributed all this to a mysterious person-Tesla.
Legend has it that Tesla once developed something called ball lightning, which is also a very powerful weapon in a certain science fiction work in later generations. It is based on the nuclear fusion of macro-electrons and can instantly burst out a power beyond nuclear energy. Many people believe that this is a trick Tesla played with alternating current to create the most powerful technological weapon in human history, and the Tunguska explosion was caused by this ball lightning.
Indeed, Tesla was a great genius. Many people could not understand his fantastic ideas. He also proposed the concept of ball lightning. However, with the technological level at that time, even if he had such a theory, he could not put it into practice. You should know that the Tunguska explosion had a damage range of 2,000 kilometers. If it was really the power of ball lightning developed by Tesla, then humans may have discovered a new energy.
Because the macroelectrons of ball lightning are essentially everywhere in the universe, as long as we have the ability to capture them, we can harvest a large amount of energy resources when it rains and thunders. Whether in terms of power or its attribute attack, it perfectly surpasses nuclear energy. Then the future technology of mankind may develop much faster than it is now, and even nuclear energy will gradually be eliminated.
Although Yannick did not believe these arguments, after all, let’s not talk about the level of Tesla’s wireless power transmission at that time. Tesla could cause a huge explosion in the Siberia region of Russia more than 10,000 kilometers away in the Long Island power tower in New York? Only God can do this.
But out of curiosity, he still asked.
Sure enough, Tesla shook his head and denied it. "of course not."
