Chapter 330 Compared with them, I am still far behind!
"A lot of people don't believe it?" Lin Dong said with a smile: "I think that sometimes the things in the textbooks may not be completely correct, or they may not tell the whole history of a certain field. For example, Ni Gula Tesla."

"I think many people will question it, so I won't go into details about Nikola Tesla's life here. After you go back, you will definitely search the Internet. I will just briefly talk about the history of his invention. "

"Nikola Tesla is a native of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is now a Croatian. He went to college and designed the first induction motor model in 1882 when he was in the Paris branch of the Edison Telephone Company. In 1884 , he landed on American soil, came to New York, and joined Edison's laboratory. At that time, he took a letter from his former employer to Edison, which contained the following content: I know two great people, one is you , one is this young man. The young man here refers to Nikola Tesla."

Just these few words made the students in the auditorium feel the extraordinaryness of the person Lin Dong was talking about.Some students have already turned on their mobile phones and started searching, while more continue to listen to Lin Dong's speech seriously.

"Tesla soon took charge of electrical design in Edison's laboratory and took full responsibility for the redesign of the company's DC motors. In this respect, his talent surpassed Edison's. In 1886, Nicola Tess La established his own company, and in 1891, he completed the design of the Tesla coil and applied for a patent, but unfortunately, everyone only remembers his patent now."

Low laughter spread in the auditorium, and some students showed a slight ashamed expression on their faces.

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is one of the most famous inventions of Nikola Tesla." With his strong memory and the encyclopedia in his brain, Lin Dong talked eloquently: "In 1891, Tesla After successfully experimenting with sending electricity to target electrical appliances in the form of wireless energy transmission, I began to work on the commercialized intercontinental wireless transmission of electricity, and based on this idea, I built the Wodenclyffe Tower. Below, I will Speaking directly of his accomplishments:

In the spring of 1893, Tesla used a conical coil to create 100 million volts of high-voltage electricity. In May of the same year, he demonstrated alternating current lighting at the Columbia Exposition and became the winner of the current battle. This is what we have been using today. The direct cause of alternating current instead of direct current; in 5, Tesla registered wireless control technology, and conducted experiments on remote-controlled automatic boats in New York’s Central Park—you know, this was more than 1898 years ago, wireless technology—think about it Think about it! "

When the students were surprised, Lin Dong continued: "In the same year, Tesla used a small electromechanical oscillator to create a small earthquake; in the winter, he exhibited a robot automatic ship, which was manufactured by Tesla from 1899 to 1900. In 1906, he invented the bladeless turbine. In 1928, he applied for a patent for the air transportation device. In 1931, he proposed a plan to extract energy from nature: Utilization of geothermal steam and seawater power generation - these are already in use. In 1935, he invented dead light, which is a beam of charged particles. It was after his death in 1943 that the United States ruled that the inventor of radio was not Marconi. It's Tesla."

Speaking of this, Lin Dong paused, and then continued: "To sum up, Tesla's research fields include alternating current systems, radio systems, wireless power transmission, spherical lightning, turbines, amplifying transmitters, particle beam weapons, Electric solar generators, X-ray equipment, electric energy meters, missile science, remote sensing technology, aircraft, cosmic rays, radar systems, robots... He is not just researching, he has almost achieved results in these fields!"

Speaking of this, Lin Dong continued to say loudly, as if he wanted to prove that "the words are not astonishing and the death is endless", "In addition to the more than 700 inventions in the fields I just mentioned, Tesla is also a poet, philosopher, and music connoisseur. Pigeon expert, linguist, Vedic expert, he is proficient in eight languages: Serbian, English, Czech, German, French, Hungarian, Italian and Latin. He sleeps only 2 hours a day, and never married..."

The auditorium fell silent again.

After a long time, the female student who asked the question just now quietly asked: "Since he is so famous, why don't many people know about it?"

Lin Dong shook his head slightly: "I can't give you a clear answer. It may be because he pays too much attention to research and never considers the application and promotion of these patents, or it may be suppressed by Edison and Morgan as many people said. Or maybe his invention is too advanced, such as the wireless power transmission mentioned just now, there are still many people researching it, but the level of research is far worse than that of Nikola Tesla. There are many reasons , which one is the specific one, you need to feel it specifically, I don’t want to mislead you.”

After hearing Lin Dong's words, many people secretly decided to investigate Nikola Tesla after returning home.

But at this time, the girl spoke again, attracting everyone's attention:
"You have said so much about Tesla, I want to ask, does this have anything to do with the question I just asked you?"

Lin Dong smiled, he was crooked, and finally let her help him back.

"Of course it has something to do with it. The reason why I say Tesla is that I am very interested in his experience, and at the same time I admire this person very much. Secondly, I mean that success does not mean that you must learn from yourself. It can also be in different fields, as long as you are interested. He invented more than 700 patents in his life. In fact, I don’t ask for that many. I just need to do more research in the fields that I am interested in.”

Speaking of this, Lin Dong said with emotion: "Actually, when I was researching games that are compatible with virtual helmets, I also tried to retreat for a month and sleep less every day, but I couldn't sleep two novels a day like him. To be honest , for people like us who still doze off even if we sleep for eight hours a day, sleeping for five or six hours and then researching the rest of the time is already the ultimate!"

"Hahahaha..." Lin Dong's words of us, coupled with the topic of sleeping, further narrowed the distance with his classmates. Many people felt the same way. Waking up every morning is really a very painful thing!
"So, although I have already had a few inventions and technologies, and I have achieved a little bit of success, compared to them, I am only a little bit more successful than ordinary people. There is still a lot to work on!"
