Chapter 64: Recruiting Talents 3
Coming to the living room, Yannick asked everyone else to leave and personally poured Tesla a cup of tea. "There is a saying in later generations that the two men closest to God in this world are Da Vinci and you."
His ideas and inventions play a vital role even in the future era of interstellar navigation. He obtained about 1,000 patent inventions in his life, and has the titles of the father of alternating current, the father of radio, the father of free energy, the father of modern physics, the father of radar, the father of computers, the father of the Internet, the father of X-ray photography, the father of solar energy, the father of death rays, the father of flying saucers, the father of artificial satellites, etc. These inventions have had a profound impact on mankind and changed the whole world.
"Let me tell you a secret, I came from the future."
Seeing a flash of surprise on Tesla's face, Yannick shrugged. "Sounds like a fairy tale, doesn't it? I have been here for almost five years and have been looking for someone to tell this secret. You may not believe it, but if you want to listen, I can tell you your life story.
1856 - You were born into a Serbian family in Smiwan, Lika Province, at midnight between July 9 and 10.
…………
1882 - You discovered a rotating magnetic field while walking in a park in Budapest (the capital of Hungary).
…………
1888 - On May 16, you gave a report entitled "Alternating Current Transmission and Alternating Current Motor System".
…………
1897 - You registered 20 invention patents in the field of radio engineering technology.
… ………
1909~1922-You registered patents in the field of mechanics (pumps, flowmeters, bladeless turbines).
…………
1931-On your 75th birthday, you received congratulatory letters from several Nobel Prize winners including Robert Andrew Millikan, Arthur H. Compton, Albert Einstein, William Henry Bragg, etc.
…………
1935-You announced that your invention "death ray" is not a death ray, but a beam of charged particles.
…………
1943-On the evening of January 7, you died of heart failure at the New Yorker Hotel at the age of 86. "
Yannick was so excited that he spoke Tesla's biography in one breath.
The expression on Tesla's face has become extremely wonderful, surprised, shocked, and even inexplicably incredible. "This..." Yannick smiled. "In that era, there was a machine called a computer. There was a network that connected hundreds of millions of computers. All human knowledge was stored in the network. As long as you input the name of a celebrity into the computer, you can easily check all or most of the information about this person."
It should be said that he is a genius. Tesla quickly recovered from the shock. "You just said that I will die in 1943?"
Yannick scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He was so excited just now that he even talked about things that would happen in the future. I hope it won't cause any adverse effects. "Well, it was like that in my time and space. But at that time, you died mostly because of poverty. According to the information I found, you still owed the owner of the New Yorker Hotel several months of room fees when you died. Now that you are here, you don't have to worry about money."
Ignoring the strange expression on Tesla's face, Yannick straightened his body and said very seriously. "Don't talk about this, Mr. Tesla, what I'm going to say next is the key."
Seeing Yannick's expression suddenly become so serious, Tesla also put down the teacup in his hand.
"In about a hundred years from now, the world will break out in the third world war.
The cause of the war is population. The world's population now adds up to only about 2 billion. I'm afraid you can't imagine that in less than a hundred years, the population has skyrocketed five times.
Our earth is so big, and there are so many resources. The result is a threat to the safety of mankind itself. At this time, politics can no longer solve any problems, and people's willingness to solve problems through war will become stronger.
Then naturally, the world war broke out, and those superpowers threw atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs at each other, directly bringing the earth into a nuclear winter, leading to the extinction of mankind."
Tesla hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled to stop. "Uh, Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you said about atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and nuclear winter. Also, you said it was the third world war? Did the second world war happen in the middle?"
Yannick briefly introduced the principles of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs and the information about nuclear winter. "The result is that less than 1% of the original population of nearly 10 billion has been reduced to less than 1%, which is simply a catastrophe for mankind." Of course, there was no nuclear war when Yannick traveled through time, and the population was not that large, but he still thought it would be better to scare Mr. Tesla.
"Even if most of the people who survived by chance were exposed to nuclear radiation, I remember an expert at the time said that within three years, mankind would be completely extinct. I was also exposed to radiation and fell into a coma. When I woke up, I found that I had become the crown prince of Germany. In other words, my soul traveled through space and time and attached itself to Yannick. As for World War II, to be honest, it will break out within ten years."
"It's unbelievable!" After hearing the whole story, Tesla was still very surprised. After trying hard to digest what Yannick said, he spoke after a while. "Then what does Your Highness need me to do? Make weapons for the next war?"
"Of course not. As I said just now, I know the principles of hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs. As long as I teach these scientists this knowledge, they will be able to build them sooner or later." Yannick shook his head. "What I want you to study is the anti-gravity engine. If I remember correctly, you registered a patent in 1928, patent number 1,655,144."
The main manuscript of this patented technology is a UFO-shaped spacecraft, which combines the aircraft engine and the helicopter into one and uses anti-gravity technology to take off. At that time, Tesla proposed his concept at the U.S. Congress, but it was stopped due to various reasons and was secretly monitored by the FBI. In the end, the project failed.
Tesla’s anti-gravity technology is also called gravitational dynamics, which acknowledges the existence of “ether” (a hypothetical electromagnetic wave propagation medium), which fills our living space everywhere. However, "ether" has long been excluded from the theory of physics and replaced by other abstract models. In addition, the dynamic theory of gravity also believes that any matter itself does not have energy, and energy comes from the surrounding environment, which is completely contrary to Einstein's E=mc2.
In his later years, Tesla summarized his theory and believed that the ultra-high-speed rotation of the electromagnetic field could drive the rotation of the ether, thereby changing the magnitude and direction of gravity. To be more specific, Tesla's anti-gravity technology is to use a million-volt Tesla coil to create an electromagnetic field. In this electromagnetic field, high-speed rotation causes the rotation of the ether, changing the direction and magnitude of the gravitational force on objects. In this way, matter can achieve anti-gravity lift-off.
Yannick showed a look of helplessness. "You can't imagine that since humans launched the first satellite with a rocket in 1957 until the demise of mankind, the tools for exploring space are still inefficient chemical rockets. We can't even build an outpost on the moon, let alone Don’t talk about Mars and Saturn.”
"This time, I want humans to break out of the earth, colonize the solar system, and explore more distant outer space. Only in this way can humans avoid the tragedy of trapping the earth. I hope Mr. Tesla can help me." Yannick stood up and said Silla bowed deeply.
Tesla stood up and supported Yannick. "Your Highness is too polite. Since I still have ten years left to live, how can I waste a minute and a second? Please prepare a laboratory for me."
