Chapter 285: Tesla(1/2)
"What does the United States think of the ideas proposed by the Japanese?" Cyril sat on the sofa.
"The White House is having urgent discussions. The president supports it, but it's hard to say with Congress. Congress is more worried about whether business with Nanhua can be guaranteed once the conflict breaks out." Sam was sitting on the sofa.
For Americans, making money is the most important thing.

"I personally think that if Japan achieves certain results, Japan's repayment in the future will be more secure. At the same time, a relatively strong Japan is very useful, isn't it?" Cyril turned his eyes out the window.
"Japan owes so much foreign debt, and it is really unconvincing just to rely on its land."
After all, it often takes 30 years to repay, and the annual interest of 3 years is 1 times the principal, not to mention that the loans in Japan are more than 6 years.
"However, this is not enough to convince Congress. Now the trade volume between the two sides is gradually increasing. Considering the national sentiments of the Chinese, Congress is discussing the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act." Sam shook his head and looked helpless.
"But you have not restored bilateral relations yet." Cyril looked at Sam, and his understanding of the United States was re-established.
"That doesn't affect that, if necessary, the gentlemen in Congress will return to the sweet period as soon as possible." Sam never believed that those people had moral and face concerns.
"I remember that your Excellency, the President, has the right to go beyond Congress and launch military operations." Cyril changed directions.
"Oh! Sir, think about it, what would happen if the prime minister of your country ignores the opinions of the parliamentarians, the queen and the cabinet and forces a war with a certain country?" Sam smiled.
"This mainly depends on the progress of the war." Cyril said sarcastically.
"The president is seeking re-election. If he bypasses Congress, his re-election will definitely be ruined." Sam said formally.

"If you want to convince Congress, there is only one way - multinational coalition."
Cyril nodded, how could he not know this?
Americans want to get involved in world issues all day long. If there is a multinational coalition, Americans will definitely join in.
But the problem now is that the great powers are ambiguous, France and South China are shyly hooking up, Japan and Russia are fighting vigorously, and Italy is busy expanding its colonies in Africa again.
Germany pulled the Austro-Hungarian Empire to form an intervention force, hoping to gain a piece of fat from the empire. But it did not discuss it with the British Empire! Britain was isolated again.

"Battal Commander, the supplies are here and we have sent three airships." A voice was heard in the yard.
Squeak~~
The two doors opened, and both of them looked at each other: "Did you call me?"
Liu Sanping laughed, and Han Jiang opposite him also laughed.

"Let's go out and take a look. What else is coming?" Liu Sanping took the lead, and Han Jiang followed suit.
Outside, three airships were landing. They were first grounded to remove static electricity, then slowly released excess gas, and finally stopped at the landing site.
"Captain Zheng, the scene is big enough this time! What did you bring?" Han Jiang stepped forward to greet him.
"It's amazing. More than a dozen researchers came here to test and build the airport. We just transported people here, and the truck fleet is behind." Captain Zheng looked mysterious.
"More than a dozen researchers? Why are you here at the border if you have nothing to do?" Han Jiang touched his head and signaled to the staff officer, who turned around to increase the protection level.
"We are here to test the reliability of weapons. I am Wang Xiaochen from the Firearms Research Institute. Hello, Battalion Commander Han." said the leading researcher.
"Hello, I know the reliability test. Why not do it directly in Oman? The modification of armored vehicles is done there." Han Jiang shook hands with Wang Xiaochen.
"Weapons research and development must be close to reality. There are always environmental differences between Oman and here, and an airport is about to be built here, so we can also help." Wang Xiaochen said.
"Airport?" Han Jiang turned to look at Liu Sanping and Captain Zheng, both of whom shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"It's normal that you don't know about the latest decrypted machine. You will know it after the installation is completed. Now let's do a reliability test. Commander Han, can you take me to your position?" Wang Xiaochen said.

"Of course, please come this way, our position is in the north..." Han Jiang has dealt with these technical people, and it is best to say things directly.
The conditions in Turaif are very poor, and there is not much wood. The fortifications of Hanjiang River are mainly built with sandbags. The reinforced trenches were dug today, but after two days of wind blowing, the trenches were filled with yellow sand.
"This is our newly designed machine gun. It is mainly used for team firepower. It weighs 127 kilograms and has a firing rate of 300-600 rounds per minute." Wang Xiaochen guided Han Jiang in using the machine gun.
Han Jiang will probably be able to use it after taking care of it.
Chug tug tug…
You may not quite understand 600 rounds per minute, and another word is 10 rounds per second.
"Okay, but I can't see anything clearly after the fight." Han Jiang looked disgraced.
Airflow will stir up dust, and the most indispensable thing in the desert is dust.
"Please continue, we need further testing." Wang Xiaochen observed the machine gun for a while, wrote down a few data, and signaled Han Jiang to continue.

On the other side, Liu Sanping led a group of people to look for land where an airport could be built.
"This area is mainly dominated by Gobi. The ground is relatively compact and many places are directly rock formations. Does it meet the requirements?" Liu Sanping led them to the east of Turaif.
"Geologically, this should be a remnant of a mountain range. There is no problem with stability. The hills not far away can be considered a natural barrier, so it's okay." One person took a pickaxe and knocked on the ground 78 times.
"Then here? How long will the construction period take? Turaif only has three deep-water wells, which cannot supply too many people." These three deep-water wells were all drilled by Nanhua.
When digging, you must explore slowly along the underground veins, otherwise you may accidentally dig out other things.
"Please allocate some soldiers to help. The main task is to clear the gravel and then pave a runway. The hangar can be built at the foot of the mountain."
"Can that self-propelled artillery be used once?" The leading technician hesitated.
"Is there any need to blast somewhere? Explosives are more convenient, but you can also fire if you want. Brother 2, bring the car over!" Liu Sanping greeted.
"No, we want to use the weight of the self-propelled artillery to crush the upper layer of floating sand, leaving only the rock and soil layers." the technician explained.
Liu Sanping smiled generously: "Is one car enough? If it's not enough, there will be more."
Rumble, rumble...
The self-propelled artillery shuttles back and forth on the predetermined runway at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour to compact the ground or crush the floating sand.
Then sweep out the floating sand.
"Are airplanes so useful? I think it will cost a lot to repair this airport." Liu Sanping looked at the list of materials.
"Planes fly faster and are more flexible. They have advantages that airships cannot match in terms of reconnaissance, and they can also perform more diverse tasks." The technician confirmed.
"Actually, airplanes are not very selective. In China, they can take off and land on a piece of flat land, but this cannot be done on sand. The wheels will get stuck and it will be impossible to land."
………
"The preliminary preparations for the hydropower station have been completed and construction can begin." Rutherford looked at Tesla.
Rutherford was still completing his thesis in the laboratory, and was also conducting further experiments-the experiment of bombarding atomic nuclei.
He wanted to know whether the atomic nucleus could be further subdivided and what the atomic nucleus was composed of.
Then there was no meaning. The experiment entered the bottleneck period. There was no instrument that could allow him to "see" or "hear". Anyway, it was impossible to observe.
Because the experiment was stuck at a bottleneck, Rutherford was too embarrassed to pay for nothing and did not work. There happened to be a water and electricity supervision project. Rutherford studied it for two days and felt that it was not too difficult, so he continued.
Design and construction are troublesome, but supervision is no problem.
"Oh? Yes, let's start construction!" Tesla played with the ore radio absentmindedly.
"I need to remind you, Mr. Designer, that this is a great and far-reaching project. If there is a problem with this project, the use of water energy may be a big question mark." Rutherford said with an expression.
Not pretty.
He felt that this person was a liar. He was fine for the first two days. He was busy with the design drawings and dared to question various issues.
Until one day, Tesla came to Rutherford's temporary residence and saw Rutherford's mineral radio.
"He's not plugged in."
"He can pick up radio signals."
"He can release sound. Could this be converting radio signals into electrical energy?"
:
Tesla asked three questions in a row, and then became obsessed with it.
"Your Excellency! Please forgive me!" Tesla thought about what he had done in the past few days and said with shame.
"As a researcher, I can understand your curiosity when encountering new things, but you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and not throw away the work at hand without any irresponsibility!" Rutherford's face softened a little.
"Sorry sir, according to calculations, this is indeed the most suitable location. The surrounding geological structure is stable, the drop is appropriate, and the construction difficulty is moderate.
Construction of the diversion tunnel will begin now, and the first phase of the project will be completed within two years." Tesla blushed.
"Mr. Tesla, there is a diode inside, which is the diode in the radio station. It can receive and filter radio signals. Then use a high-impedance earphone to hear the sound. If you need a louder sound,
If you have more, you need a power supply." Rutherford also started discussing with it.
Nowadays, the definitions of each discipline are relatively vague. The two are actually disciplines within the broad framework of physics. It is not accurate to draw parallels, but frequent exchanges will always spark sparks of thinking.
To be continued...
