【464】 Solicitation in Submarine(1/2)
Nikola Tesla blurted out: "Is this the inside of the submarine? It's too empty, can you operate it alone?"
It’s no wonder Tesla is so surprised. In the current era, the highest crystallization of technology is ships. Not to mention warships, just take ordinary ocean freighters as an example. The top technologies above are also a basket of: navigation positioning technology, power technology, material technology, lighting systems...
To skillfully operate a thousand-ton cargo ship, the crew must be at least fifty, because in the post-steam era, there is no electronic one-click in a hundred years. Each operating command is completed by the cooperation of gears, bearings, turntables, levers, etc. A simple action requires the use of a large weight switch, lever and shaking disc.
Taking a step back, even if the submarine is only one-tenth of a thousand-ton cargo ship, the operators will not degenerate to the point where only one person is left, right?
Even with Tesla's imagination, I couldn't accept it at once.
Well, it seems a bit too big?
Long Hao was slightly stunned and said in his heart: Mistakes, technical mistakes...
What is the Qingyu Dragon Boat?
If the top alchemy weapons are dissected from a scientific perspective alone, scientists before the Third World War would probably regard them as alien technology.
Long Haoguang thought about how to "shock" Tesla, but ignored some of the rationality.
Of course, then again, Long Hao was already very careful. At least, the transparent one could look at the window outside the boat and didn't show it to Tesla. Otherwise, the weird scientist would have thought he was having that bizarre dream.
"Haha, she has a faster hand speed. Besides, we won't demonstrate too complicated functions today. So, alone is enough! Right, Xiao Ke, come and show her skills to the customer!" Long Hao reacted quickly and laughed and made up for the mistake.
Using the Qingyu Dragon Boat to pretend to be a low-level submarine is a technical job, why don’t you understand? Then you think, using the iPhone6s as Nokia XXX to smash walnuts, this faint sadness, now, do you understand?
Ke Mitong understood it and immediately used her ancestral "Ke Family Kuaishou" to stir up a shadow of hand remaining on the retina on the control table.
As expected, Tesla's attention was immediately attracted by this "judgement", and he kept calling him magical: "Your Excellency Earl, you have many talented people. This is the first time I have seen such talents! Oh, it's too fast. My eyes are about to cramp..."
After the episode, Long Hao began to introduce the "Qianlong-2" to Tesla.
The oral explanation was taken by the more intellectual lady Ke Mitong. However, Tesla, as the inventor, is a devout practitioner, so he only listened for three minutes. He left Xiao Ke aside and said to Long Hao: "Oh, Lord Earl, I think an impressive voyage is more convincing!"
Long Hao laughed and said, "It's just that, so let's set sail, in the sea (Underthewater)..."
The voyage was so pleasantly decided. Xiao Ke and Xi Yu worked together and stood in front of the operating panel.
After a dazzled operation, Xiao Ke pushed the most critical U-shaped gate.
The Qingyu Dragon Boat was started, but the vibration was not felt inside. This super-era shock absorbing technology shocked Tesla inexplicably: "Have it started?"
Long Hao smiled and refused to explain. Instead, Xiyu shook a vertical plate, and a visitor mirror hung down from the top and moved over.
"Doctor, you can experience it yourself. I'll go to the cabin next to rest. If you are satisfied with the experience, you can come to me."
Long Hao's identity is incomparable to Tesla, so he will not explain the whole process. Anyway, there are too many "high-tech" to be covered in the Qingyu Dragon Boat. Instead of repairing left and right, it is better to pretend to be profound and let Tesla guess.
Tesla responded casually, and his whole heart was already pouring into the visiting glass.
Being able to explore the sea surface under the sea is definitely an unprecedented novel experience for Tesla.
"This scale represents the submarine's diving depth? It's now 6.6 meters?"
"Yes, I will demonstrate diving later, but the visitor glass cannot reach the sea at that time." Xiyu was responsible for explaining that she was not very interested in manipulating the Qingyu Dragon Boat.
Tesla fiddled with the visiting glasses and finally confirmed that this Navy Dragon-2 was indeed sailing under the sea, and the displacement of the reference object exclamation mark is the best evidence.
"Start diving now..."
After the visitor glass was put back, Tesla came to the operating panel, stretched its head, and observed the row of constantly changing pointer readings.
"The depth is 17.8 meters, the ocean current is normal, and the northwest is 23.8° angle, confirm the advance...the speed is 3.6 knots..."
"I'm sailing, close to the deep sea of 20 meters. What is the power of the submarine? The internal combustion engine?" Tesla couldn't help asking in amazement.
"Speed 4.4 knots... Well, the power was designed by the Count, it should be an electric motor, right?" Ke Mitong answered casually with concentration.
“Electric motor…”
Tesla's muscles twitched on his face and stopped talking, but continued to observe intently.
The entire experience sail lasted for 45 minutes, the process was smooth and the atmosphere was friendly. It can be said that in the control room, the three of them had a happy time playing.
At least, Tesla felt very happy. This submarine sailing experience broadened his horizons and also evoked a lot of problems in his heart, and he had a desire to not speak up.
"Thank you, ladies, I want to see the Count."
"Okay, please go through this door and I'll take you there."
The drizzle took Tesla out of the control room and delivered it to a small restaurant integrated with the kitchen.
"The Count is inside, I won't go in."
The rain opened the door and then stepped down with tactfulness.
There is also the kitchen. Hiss, how big is this Qianlong-2 inside? How to deal with the oil smoke for cooking?
As soon as he entered, the aroma of food was so strong that Tesla couldn't help but feel amazed again.
The dishes were ready, and at a small dining table. Long Hao was feasting on a plate when he saw Tesla walk in. Our Count raised his head and smiled from the greasy corners of his mouth: "Come on? Sit, authentic Australian kangaroo meat, Doctor, you have a good taste!"
Tesla looked at the 70% charred thing on the plate and was a little dizzy: This is the seabed, this is the submarine, we are trying the sail. What you call rest is actually roasted kangaroo meat?!
"Come on one?"
"Thank you, no, I'm full." Tesla is half a vegetarian. When it smells the rich meaty aroma, signs of convulsions in its stomach begin to appear.
"Lying is not a good habit, especially for a scientific researcher."
Long Hao chuckled, took out a pair of knife and fork from under the dining table and pushed it to Tesla: "I remember, you haven't had breakfast yet, and you've been busy for so long just now, how could you be full?"
"This, I..."
"This barbecue is a lot. I can't eat it, so you should help me. Actually, my skills are good, but the food is a little worse... Doctor, you won't even give me this little face, right?"
"That's good..."
Tesla was sweating profusely and had to pick up the knife and fork. Under Long Hao's persuasion, he ate at least four taels of barbecue.
The smell of burnt meat lingers in the esophagus, and Tesla's face looks ugly as if he is rescued by drowning.
Long Hao put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth clean, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I'm full, let's talk about the serious business, Doctor, what do you think of this submarine?"
Tesla exclaimed and said, "It is most appropriate to describe it incredible. With such a weapon, it is certain that you can win the Battle of San Francisco!"
"This is just a test ship, not produced by energy."
"I can see that there are many devices inside, and I can't understand them."
"Do you have a specialty in your profession... I can tell the doctor that the submarine's requirements for materials are the best in the world."
"I have read the Earl's "Quantum Mechanics", but I didn't expect you to have such superb achievements in ship science!"
"Haha, I just provided some of the designs. The chief designer of the submarine, named John Holland, was able to meet him when Dr. arrived in Baja California."
The two had a great time talking, and they talked about the submarine for more than ten minutes.
However, the content of the conversation was only superficial and not in-depth. After all, Long Hao and Tesla only met today, and everything was gradual.
However, in just over ten minutes, Long Hao had expressed his intention to recruit him many times, and this recruitment was not like the commercial cooperation between Carnegie and Tesla, but the recruitment of the monarch and ministers.
Don’t forget that Long Hao is the lord of Beidao’s country, and it is not a mistake to say “君”.
Tesla is such a delicate and transparent person. He woke up from the shock of the Qingyu Dragon Boat. He has analyzed his situation at this time.
Long Hao's appearance in his original form indicates a full grasp of the exclamation mark: because, whether it is the sudden awakening of the Count of the North Sea or the complete collapse of the three American warships, any news leaked will cause a earth-shaking shock.
So, although Long Hao was so intimate about Tesla's "Dr. Doctor" and invited him to visit the submarine, in fact, Tesla now has only two ways to go: one is to accept the recruitment and surrender to Long Hao, and the other... it is to be buried at the bottom of the sea, without a complete body!
I actually understand how to choose the way.
Tesla doesn't mind "submission", but he hopes that the value of his surrender can be higher. Since Long Hao expressed his importance to him, then the next time is "open the screen and show his wings and displays his feathers".
If Tesla wants to prove itself, it must come up with some real things, otherwise it will not be sold at a good price.
If the selling price is low and cannot be reused, how can we continue our own series of invention experiments in the future? This is absolutely unacceptable for Tesla, who is determined to avenge Edison!
Because of this, Tesla needs a breakthrough, a junction point, and a junction point between the submarine and its own specialties...
"Hisser Earl, what is the power of this submarine sailing under the sea?" After more than ten minutes of a "hot field", Tesla began to direct the topic to a "breakthrough".
“Electric motor.”
"Why not use an internal combustion engine? As far as I know, the power of the motor is not high, and it is not easy to drive a submarine, well, it is not easy."
It's not just that it's not easy. Tesla is just playing with electricity. He estimated that taking the electric motors on the market as an example. If you want to meet the navigation standards you just saw, the number of motors and the volume of the battery can be piled up into an exclamation mark!
How is this possible?!
The only explanation is that the Qianlong-2 motor is far ahead of the mainstream on the market!
"The motor I chose is an alternating generator."
Long Hao expressed the core content in just one sentence.
Compared with Tesla's hiding temptation, Long Hao has the characteristics and privilege of speaking in a high position. He is straight to the point and points directly to the origin, which shocks the other party's heart even more!
"Shut, hand, alternating current engine..."
Tesla was in a mess, and he stuttered and his beards moved, and his butts next to the chair were twisting left and right, making it impossible to settle down.
"Dr., you seem to be surprised?"
Long Hao was leisurely admiring Tesla's panic loss, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
To be continued...
