Nikola Tesla, a Serbian national, later became an American citizen. new

So far, Tesla is a world-famous inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and one of the top talents in the field of scientific research.

Tesla, who was 185 years old, is now fifty-six years old, but he is still struggling on the front line of scientific research.

Ever since Tesla won the DC and AC wars, the dispute with Edison, he has been considered the greatest electrical engineer in the United States and has been recognized by all walks of life in the United States.

In Tesla's decades of research career, he has owned a large number of patents in alternating current systems, radio systems, wireless power transmission, ball lightning, turbines, amplified transmitters, particle beam weapons, solar engines, X-ray equipment, There are considerable research achievements in electrical energy instruments, missile science, remote sensing technology, aircraft, cosmic rays, radar systems, robots, etc.

In terms of scientific research, Tesla's greatness is beyond doubt. The large number of patents he owned could have brought countless wealth to Tesla.

Tesla's lifetime of inventions bear witness to his selfless contributions to society. Although he devoted his life to continuous research and obtained about 1,000 (some say 700) patented inventions. But in his later years, he was in poverty and suffered from financial constraints for many years. Although many entrepreneurs took advantage of this genius scientist's love and talent and defrauded him of his research results and honors, in his later years he still worked hard to research and invent for the happiness of mankind.

Among Tesla's many inventions, none have benefited the public the most than the various AC motors he invented. In every corner of the world, the development of economy and trade, scientific progress and enjoyment of life are inseparable from the help of alternating current. The blackouts in the United States and Europe at the end of 2003 brought social and economic paralysis. As early as 1882, Tesla had invented the world's first high-frequency AC motor, and in 1885 he invented multi-phase current and multi-phase power transmission technology.

After Edison invented direct current, electrical appliances were widely used, but at the same time the cost of electricity was very high, so operating and exporting direct current became the most profitable business at that time. New𝘹.𝘤𝘰𝘮In 1885, Tesla left the Edison Company and met George Westinghouse, the head of the Westinghouse Company. With his support, Tesla officially brought alternating current to the society at that time in 1888. At the 18th Asia Expo, Tesla demonstrated AC lighting and became the winner of the "Battle of Currents". Afterwards, Tesla obtained the right to undertake the power design of the Niagara Hydropower Station.

Since then, alternating current has replaced direct current as the mainstream power supply. Tesla owned the patent for alternating current. At that time, Tesla had to pay a royalty of US$2.50 for every horsepower of alternating current sold. Driven by strong interests, a consortium at that time threatened Tesla to give up this patent and intended to monopolize profits. After many negotiations, Tesla decided to give up the alternating current patent, on the condition that the alternating current patent would be permanently public. From then on, he tore up the patent on alternating current and lost the right to collect royalties. From then on, alternating current was no longer patented and became a free invention. If the patent for the invention of alternating current is not given to all mankind for free use, each horsepower of alternating current will bring him a "patent fee" of US$2.5, and he will be the richest man in the world.

Tesla's peak period should be from the 1880s to the end of the 19th century when he won the current war. During this period, Tesla was extremely brilliant in the scientific research community and gained the trust of a large number of American consortiums.

After 1 arrived, Tesla started the plan to build Wardenclyffe Tower with $150,000 (more than half provided by the Morgan family).

The American media at the time called Wardenclyffe Tower Tesla's million-dollar building, which is enough to show how brilliant Tesla was in this era.

But the good times did not last long, and the 1st Bureau revoked the previous judgment and awarded the radio patent rights to Guglielmo Marconi.

This forced Tesla into a long-term patent dispute. During this period, Tesla lost the support of the American consortium and became a penniless scientific researcher again.

The divestment of the US consortium certainly has an impact on patent issues, but the most fundamental problem is that Tesla's current research cannot bring more profits to the consortium.

Tesla may have developed radio before Marconi, but in order to obtain continued financial support from the consortium, he chose to temporarily conceal the news of successful radio development and use the consortium's funds to conduct other research of his own.

Such behavior is naturally unacceptable to the American consortium, and it is natural for Tesla to be abandoned.

At present, several years have passed since Tesla was abandoned by the American consortium.

Although Tesla is still a well-known expert in the United States, Tesla's financial situation is very bad.

According to information from the Royal Security Intelligence Service, Tesla’s trip to Australasia should be to visit his sister Miaka.

Because Tesla never married, his three surviving sisters, Miakka, Angelina and Marika, became Tesla’s three surviving relatives and their only relatives.

Tesla's three sisters originally lived in Serbia. However, due to the previous war in Serbia and the current confusing situation in the Balkans, Tesla's eldest brother-in-law decided to take the entire family to Australasia, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away. West Asia avoids disaster.

In fact, when Miya Ka was discussing where to escape with her husband, she might not have considered the United States, where Tesla is located.

But when Miyaka learned that Tesla was not only having a hard time in the United States, but also had debts of tens of thousands of dollars, she decisively gave up the idea of ​​going to the United States.

The current Miyaka family lives in a village on the outskirts of Sydney. Because the family has not decided to live permanently in Australasia, it is naturally impossible for them to obtain land allocated by the Australasian government. Currently, they are only renting from farmers in the village.

1. After instructing the Royal Security Intelligence Service to investigate all of Tesla’s background, Arthur took sufficient preparations, as well as a team of guards and intelligence personnel from the Royal Security Intelligence Service, and set off for the place where Miyaka and Tesla were. village.

In fact, although Tesla's current financial situation is already very bad, as the saying goes, it is not burdensome to have too much debt. Whether it is ocean tickets or hotel stays, Tesla can still afford it.

The reason why Arthur chose this day to go was because Tesla happened to be visiting his sister again on this day. In other words, Tesla was in the village where Miaka was located on this day.

Arthur's purpose is very simple, that is to win over this amazing man and let him work and research for him loyally.

But simply wooing Tesla may fail. After all, Tesla is still a man who has seen a lot of things in the world. He has experienced the glory of his peak period, so naturally he is not so easy to win over.

If Tesla is with his sister Miaka, then this means that Tesla also has a weakness that he can break through.

For Tesla who has been alive for 5 years, his three sisters are not only his only three living relatives, but also Tesla's few concerns in terms of family ties.

And what do refugees from the Balkans like Miaka lack most? It’s nothing more than money and life safety.

In addition to escaping the scourge of war that could threaten their lives, perhaps the only things that make these refugees come to Australasia are poverty and hunger.

About an hour later, Arthur finally arrived at this village on the outskirts of Sydney.

The so-called suburbs of Sydney are actually the outermost part of the Capital Territory, almost adjacent to New South Wales in the north.

Because the Capital Territory is an administrative region divided from New South Wales, there are always more or less villages located on the border of the two administrative regions.

The core area of ​​the Capital Territory is definitely the Sydney city center and port, while the core area of ​​New South Wales has also moved north to Newcastle.

This resulted in the development of the area adjacent to the two state-level administrative regions not going smoothly. Fortunately, it was the core area of ​​Australasia, the southeastern corner of the mainland, so it was reasonable.

Among the villagers living here, except for a small number who stay in the village to work in agriculture, most of the residents have gone to Sydney or nearby cities to work in factories or various enterprises.

The wages that the factory can provide are several times what they can earn in agriculture, which also makes most residents of nearby villages choose to work in the factory.

It is for these reasons that these villages have a large number of vacant houses, which are occasionally rented to immigrants who come to Australasia.

The nationality review of some immigrants takes several months or even half a year, which also results in them being unable to enjoy various benefits in Australasia during this period.

Although it is possible to get a job that can provide enough food and clothing, it seems impossible to live in the city.

The Miaka family is like this. They have not obtained Australasian citizenship and can only rent and live in such a village house on the outskirts of Sydney.

However, such an environment is acceptable to refugees from Eastern Europe like Mia Ka.

After all, the environment in Eastern Europe is not necessarily better than in Australasia. At least the job opportunities and wages are definitely not as good as those in Australasian factories.

Half an hour before Arthur arrived at the village, the main roads around the village had been controlled by Arthur's guards.

There are also a large number of Security Intelligence Service personnel scattered in the village. The only mission of these people is to ensure Arthur's safety under any circumstances.

Today is different from the past. Arthur attaches great importance to his own safety.

You know, all current firearms, as long as they hit the vital point, basically kill with one shot.

This also represents a true truth, no matter how noble the status is, no matter how rich the net worth is, everyone is equal in front of hot weapons.

Whether in history or in the future, there have been countless assassinations of country rulers and royal family members, and Arthur will naturally not be careless.

Arthur's safety is even more important than national development in Australasia.

Australasia's current three major immigrant ethnic groups can coexist harmoniously, and the prestige of Arthur's three major ethnic groups plays a vital role.
