My Italian Chapter 112

The Po River is the largest river in Italy. The Po River originating in the Alps passes through Turin, Alexandria, Rovigo and other cities. In addition, its basin includes Milan, Brescia, Ferrara and other cities. Economically influential rivers.

Since it is very economical here, there is a lot of power demand, and the use of water conservancy and steam power is also very ordinary. Now a dam on the Po River is taking shape under the hard work of laborers. This is the construction site of the first large-scale hydropower station in Italy, the Pavia Hydropower Station.

Speaking of the construction of this hydropower station, it has also attracted the attention of electric power scientists in other countries, because it is the first large-scale alternating current hydropower station.

That's right, Tesla has already researched a large generator. At present, this generator has a power of 2.5KV. This time, in order to build the Pavia Hydropower Station, Westinghouse Electric Company, under the leadership of Tesla, built four sets of dynamo.

Of course, it has not been shipped yet, because the dam has not been completed yet, and the Po River will be blocked at four or five hundred meters. It will take a while.

However, it still attracted a lot of people to watch.

Among so many people, a young man, led by an adult, also came to watch the dam being built.

"It's a magnificent sight."

The young Marconi looked at the dam that was built and exclaimed in admiration.

"Galilmore, be careful, don't fall into the river."

Behind her, her mother, Anne Jimson, was a little worried about her son.

"Don't worry, he knows it's safe."

As a father, Giuseppe Marconi let his wife not worry too much about this.

Speaking of which, Marconi was born into a very wealthy family. He was smart since he was a child and did not go to school at all, because his mother, Anne Jimson, directly invited a university professor to be his governess (envy no).

Of course, he was smart since he was a child, and he did not live up to his mother's expectations. He was very dedicated to learning and completely surpassed his peers. At this time, he was very interested in physics, electricity, and electromagnetism, and often used the school's equipment to do experiments. His private teacher also liked the teenager very much and allowed him to borrow books from the school library.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Marconi's ingenuity. Whoever sees such a little genius doesn't want to teach him.

And this time they made a special trip from Bologna more than 100 kilometers away to see the Pavia Hydropower Station, which also shows the love of his parents for him.

Just as the Marconi family was looking at the hydropower station under construction with great interest, a group of people passed by with blueprints.

Marconi saw someone he had seen with sharp eyes.

"Mr. Tesla, Mr. Tesla."

The boy's voice was so unique that Tesla, who had just passed by, looked back and saw a well-dressed boy shouting at him in surprise.

"What's the matter, kid?"

Tesla was still a little curious about a teenager calling him home. He must know that there are not many people who know him now, and they are basically in the scientific world, and the appearance of a teenager makes him feel novel.

In the face of Tesla's inquiry, Marconi said excitedly. "Mr. Tesla, I've seen your publication in Science Weekly about applying principles of electromagnetism. I've also experimented with it, and it's amazing..."

Marconi, incarnated as a little fanboy, gushed about his admiration for Tesla's publication of scientific papers.

And Tesla was also very curious about Marconi. "By the way, I remember that this paper needs at least a college level to understand. How old are you now?"

"I'm eleven years old."

Marconi's words made everyone who was with Tesla look at the boy in amazement.

In the end, he was a boy with thin skin, and Marconi explained with a blushing face. "I still don't understand a lot of your paper, so I asked Mr. Declan, and he gave me a detailed answer."

Even though Marconi explained it, everyone around him praised him. After all, the Marconi in front of him is too young. This is knowledge that only college students know. It is not an exaggeration to praise a genius.

Facing the compliments around him, Marconi was very embarrassed, while his parents came over and greeted those around him.

After everything calmed down, Marconi looked at Tesla with admiration.

"Mr. Tesla, can I go to the hydropower station with you?"

According to reason, there should be no children in the construction site~www.mtlnovel.com~ The main reason is that children do not understand the danger and are prone to accidents.

But looking at Marconi with a look of anticipation, Tesla didn't know why his heart softened.

"You need to ask your parents about it."

Tesla's voice undoubtedly gave Marconi the green light, and he immediately pestered his parents, saying that he wanted to follow Tesla in and have a look.

In the face of the entangled Marconi, his parents reluctantly agreed after a lot of hard work.

So excited Marconi followed Tesla and his party into the construction site under the repeated instructions of his parents.

"Mr. Beek, this size must be accurate, because the water turbine is relatively precise. If there is any deviation, it will have serious consequences."

"We must pay attention to the location of the transmission line, and the height must be more than five meters to prevent people from touching it."

Tesla always talks a lot, all of which are relatively boring topics. Even an adult would probably yawn, but Marconi still listened with relish, and sometimes even secretly asked Tesla why this way. As for the curiosity of the teenager, Tesla rarely has the patience to explain one by one.

Of course, this kind of time cannot last long. Soon the sun will set, and Marconi can only helplessly leave and return to his parents.

"Mr. Tesla, you must write to me when you have time."

Thinking that this young man is a good Tesla, he also waved goodbye. "Don't worry, I will definitely write to you when the time comes."

Watching the big and the small say their goodbyes, the others all showed strong smiles. Of course, they didn't know that in the future, this scene would be written into textbooks and become the story of the first contact between the two power and electromagnetism bigwigs.
