Roark has learned to be smart now. Roark cannot give Nikola Tesla as much as he wants. Nikola Tesla must understand the hard-earned truth that everything is hard-earned.

So Douglas asked for 10 million, but Rock only gave 500.

Don’t be too little. Now one rand can be exchanged for almost one gram of gold. It is estimated that only Roque in the world can give this level of support to Nikola Tesla.

The key is the Rand Gold Mine. From the discovery of the Rand Gold Mine at the end of the last century to the present, it has been mined for decades. The output is not less but more and more mines are being mined. Geological experts are also increasingly estimating the reserves of the Rand Gold Mine.

High, from the initial 3.5 million ounces to the current 350 million ounces, the reserves are estimated to have increased a hundred times.

Only Rock knows that 350 million is far from the limit. The reserves of the Rand Gold Mine exceed 50,000 tons, which is more than 1.6 billion when converted into ounces. So where are you going? Just mine slowly.

It should be noted that in recent years, the federal government of Southern Africa has banned the private transfer of various mines. Mine owners can only sell them to the federal government. The federal government now owns four mines with an annual output of more than ten tons of gold.

The annual output accounts for approximately 10% of the total output of the Rand mining area.

It sounds like dozens of tons of gold is a lot, but in fact it is not much. Calculated according to the ratio of one rand to one gram of gold, the 5 million that Roque gave to Nikola Tesla is converted into five tons, so Roque also feels

Flesh hurts.

But the support that should be given must still be given.

Everyone knows that scientific research costs money. The South African food group owned by Stoudemire also spends millions on scientific research every year.

The cost of researching long-range intelligent unmanned bombers is much faster than researching food additives. An experiment with food additives will only consume a few cans at most. Nikola Tesla crashing a plane can buy a train of cans.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Ministry of National Defense in Southern Africa has been undergoing a renovation, and there are many retired aircraft. Nikola Tesla can drop them casually. It is estimated that only Nikola Tesla in the world has such a relaxed environment.

So when Douglas was pestering Rock for funding, Nikola Tesla was attending an academic exchange program held at the University of Nyasaland, strongly inviting scientists from Europe and the United States to stay in southern Africa.

Even if you don't acquire Southern African citizenship, you can still work in Southern Africa.

Again, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Once you are used to the support for scientific research in Southern Africa, the relaxed and tolerant academic environment of Nyasaland University, and the living standards of Southern Africa, it really makes sense.

It's hard to go back to the past.

This is also the sentiment of Nikola Tesla.

Rock once also brought Nikola Tesla to southern Africa under the banner of academic exchange.

As a result, people don’t want to leave after they arrive. If you count, Nikola Tesla has been in southern Africa for almost seven years.

"I came to the United States in 1884 and worked in someone's laboratory. Later I left that laboratory and founded my own company -" Nikola Tesla still refuses to mention someone's name.

, how deeply Nikola Tesla trusted someone at the beginning, how deeply he hates someone now.

This cannot be blamed on Nikola Tesla. Perhaps many people will say that people have to reconcile with their past selves every once in a while.

Nikola Tesla would not. He was not a person who was good at forgiving. Right was right and wrong was wrong. He would never compromise.

"-Later, my laboratory was destroyed by an inexplicable fire, and I reported it to the New York City Police Department. The New York City Police Department still hasn't given me a result. That was already 1895--" Nico

La Tesla's expression and tone were calm, and the audience around him was attentive.

Such academic exchanges are held every year at Nyasaland University. Every time, well-known scientists or professors from universities or scientific research institutions from various countries are invited to participate. Many scientists and professors have increased their understanding of southern Africa through academic exchanges, and then stayed in southern Africa.

, and contribute to building a better southern Africa.

Scientists and professors also like this method of communication, after all, all expenses of the participants are borne by the University of Nyasaland.

The conditions provided by Nyasaland University are indeed unparalleled. Food, accommodation, and car stewards are all provided. During the academic exchange period, if scientists or professors from all over the world are inspired to do experiments, Nyasaland University also provides

We can provide laboratories and assistants who may not have much experience but have solid basic knowledge and are enthusiastic, obedient and able to endure hardships.

Let’s not talk about food, accommodation and special transportation. Such experimental assistants are really rare.

Nyasaland University can provide thousands of such experimental assistants at any time, and they are all students of Nyasaland University.

The conference was held in the largest auditorium of Nyasaland University, which can accommodate nearly 4,000 people at the same time and is usually only used for major events.

Teachers and students from Nyasaland University were not allowed to attend the meeting. Now the entire venue was full. Many students who had no seats were sitting on the steps beside the venue. There were also staff from Los Angeles TV station recording and filming.

But they are all precious image data.

"In 1901, I received funding from Mr. John Morgan to build Wardenclyffe Tower. Mr. John Morgan gave me $150,000. His purpose was actually for wireless communications. I admit that I deceived him.

My purpose of building Wardenclyffe Tower was not entirely for radio. At that time, I actually already owned the patent for radio. But as you all know what happened later, my patent was taken away, and Wardenclyffe Tower

Abandoned, I was bankrupt, living in a hotel in New York -" Nikola Tesla finally showed a sad expression on his face. His first half of life was indeed full of ups and downs.

"This is my story, the story of the first half of my life - when I was staying at the New Yorker Hotel, I thought that my life would end, and no one would remember me anymore, and no one would remember me in the future, until I came

Southern Africa—" The expression on Nikola Tesla's face changed to joy, the kind of joy that comes from the rebirth of a phoenix from the cocoon.

“In Southern Africa, I truly felt what it means to be free and unrestrained. Lord Nyasaland gave me unlimited financial support. The University of Nyasaland provided a thousand assistants for me to choose from. The Nyasaland State Government and

The Los Angeles City Government built a laboratory for me in the most beautiful place in Los Angeles. On the day when the foundation stone of the laboratory was laid, the governor, the mayor, and all the congressmen came. I received unprecedented respect. This kind of respect was the first in my life.

I have never felt anything before——" Nikola Tesla's words touched everyone deeply.

Scientists and professors may sound glamorous, but in fact they know their own needs.

Take the United States as an example. Successful scientists such as Edison must be wealthy and have enough food and clothing to do whatever they want.

But those scientists who are not yet famous, such as Robert Goddard, let alone the upper class, cannot even guarantee the most basic food and clothing.

Geniuses such as Nikola Tesla went bankrupt for a time when they were in the United States, needless to say about others.

“As an engineer, the happiest thing is to have an unfettered environment. I have been in southern Africa for seven years, and Lord Nyasaland and the state of Nyasaland have invested nearly R50 million in my laboratory.

, but I haven’t even completed a single study, so I’m sorry, Principal Kausall, and thank you for your tolerance—” Nikola Tesla pretended.

Abu laughed loudly next to him, and the scientists around him could clearly feel the respect that Nikola Tesla received in southern Africa.

The influence of Nyasaland University now extends far beyond southern Africa. Just look at the people sitting around you and you will know: Erwin Schrödinger, August Piccard, Fershafeldt

, Boer——

Of course, there is also Einstein who likes to ride a bicycle at nuclear bomb blasting sites and stick out his tongue in front of the blackboard.

Just when Nikola Tesla said "50 million rand" in a calm tone, almost all the scientists had expressions of surprise and envy on their faces.

They would certainly not suspect that Nikola Tesla would lie. It is well known that the Southern African federal government attaches great importance to Nikola Tesla. It is said that Nikola Tesla has the power to call Roark at any time.

The power of the telephone, whether it is one o'clock in the morning or twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Nikola Tesla can dial Rock's number at any time if he needs it.

It is precisely because Nikola Tesla could not lie that scientists have particularly complicated feelings.

Among the scientists present, except for Nikola Tesla, the total scientific research funding of all others over the years may be less than 50 million rand.

So before Nikola Tesla finished speaking, many people's hearts began to beat loudly.

Nima, that’s 50 million.

I don’t want 50 million, give me 5 million, and I can stand on top of the world——

Don’t doubt it, scientists are human beings too. They also have to eat, drink, sleep, and take care of their families. There are not many people like Nikola Tesla who never get married for the sake of science.

I have to say that Nikola Tesla’s speech was still very contagious. At the end of the speech, Abramovich, as the host, invited out Rudolf Diesel.

This is another legend in another field.

"Hello everyone, I am Rudolf Diesel, who is rumored to have been dead for twenty years -" Rudolf Diesel just started to speak, and the audience burst into laughter.

Laughing all at once, there was someone here who knew Rudolf Diesel.

Now Rudolf Diesel has become an out-and-out multimillionaire with his invention of the diesel engine.

Nikola Tesla's 50 million was research funding given by Rock, not for Nikola Tesla to squander.

All the money Rudolf Diesel made was his own.

This is simply a living legend.
