Feng Ru fired off a barrage of questions. Although he had taught aeronautical engineering at Dehua University for almost two semesters, in his heart Feng Ru still regarded himself as an aerospace engineer, not a professor.

"Soon, now we have conducted 150 hours of test runs. Once the test runs are completed, we can deliver it."

Having failed in its rush to launch diesel engines on the market, Diesel will naturally not launch the same thing into the market again. Although the new high-power engine is produced by the company according to the drawings, it must be fully tested before being launched on the market.

Just fine.

"You must hurry up, you must hurry up, Mr. Diesel, I will speed up the progress and try to get the plane into the sky one day earlier..."

At this time, Feng Ru's face was filled with anticipation. He was looking forward to the moment when the "giant seaplane" took to the sky, and to the scene where he would defend the sea from the air.

"Mr. Feng, don't be impatient, at least complete the experiment."

Diesel laughed.

"Isn't there a saying in China that you can't eat when you're in a hurry...you can't eat when you're in a hurry!"

"It's hot tofu." Feng Ru corrected Diesel's wording with a smile. In fact, he was also not fluent in Mandarin. Most of the time, he spoke Cantonese Mandarin, but in Lianyungang, if you want to survive, you must learn it.

Mandarin.

Be Chinese and speak Chinese. Such slogans can be seen at the gates of primary schools and middle schools in Lianyungang, and Feng Ru himself is also working hard to learn Mandarin.

"Yes, yes, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry..."

Adjusting his glasses, Diesel laughed again. If anyone familiar with him saw him like this, they would be surprised by his change, but only he knew what caused his change.

.

"beep……"

The whistle sounded at the Yingyou Gate between the mainland and Liandao, and the Yingyou Gate entered the gate of Lianyundao Port. Although Lianyundao Port was not yet completed at this time, several liners had been opened at this time, and the port was also open.

It was selected by the American Pacific Cruise Line as the third port after Qingdao and Shanghai. Of course, the reason for doing so was out of interest. In the past year, almost every cruise ship had as many as a hundred people on board.

, the final destination of hundreds of passengers is Lianyungang. For commercial reasons, Pacific Cruise Line designated Lianyungang as its flight port at the beginning of the year, which is indeed convenient for many people.

"This is Lianyungang?"

Nikola Tesla, who was holding his suitcase on the side of the ship, seemed a little disappointed. He came to Lianyungang out of necessity.

Ten years ago, the radio patent was misappropriated. As a result, investor J.P. Morgan withdrew all financial assistance and investment. Tesla put down his research and sought loans everywhere, and even asked the "Westinghouse Company" for help.

When Westinghouse was in economic trouble many years ago, Tesla generously helped the company tide over the difficulties. However, at that time, the "Westinghouse" company saw that the plan was unprofitable, and not only did it not

He tried to help him, but instead added insult to injury by pursuing Tesla's loans for related equipment, thereby accelerating the collapse of Tesla's business. Under the pressure of the power company, water company and unpaid workers, he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Since then, no one has funded his research.

But a few months ago, he received a job invitation from Lianyungang, and the reason that attracted him here was the promise of an independent research institute with an annual research funding of no less than half a million US dollars, but

Standing on the side of the ship, looking at Lianyungang, which was still under construction, Tesla was disappointed. Can this small city in a backward country support his research?

At this time, facing this small city in a backward country, Nikola Tesla began to doubt his choice.

"This is indeed Lianyungang."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Nikola Tesla's ears. He turned around and saw that it was an old friend whom he had met before - Eiffel Burse, who once worked at Westinghouse Company.

, later joined Green Company. Three years ago, he presided over the design of modular machine tools and participated in the design of Ford's production line. However, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was not smooth, just like himself.

"Mr. Tesla, I know I did not identify the wrong person. I am really sorry that I did not see you when we were on the boat."

Tesla nodded and then spoke.

"I'm not a sociable person"

"Me too, on the boat, I do some research most of the time"

When explaining, Eiffel Boors' face flashed with excitement.

"A friend of mine came here a few months ago. He said that this place will become China's New York and China's Pittsburgh in the future. Moreover, they have also established a large machine tool enterprise that can produce 50,000 tons of machine tools per year.

, so they are completely able to fund my research..."

Perhaps he was afraid that Tesla would not understand what he was studying.

"The research I am engaged in is combined machine tools and automatic production lines."

"Why not stay in the United States? If I remember correctly, Ford is very supportive of your research."

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Eiffel Bulls said.

"Many people think that automated production lines are impossible, so they are not willing to fund my research, but they forget that Ford's assembly line was also considered impossible a few years ago."

Eiffel's words were full of complaints. How could he not complain? It was precisely because of this research that he fell out with the Green Company, and even Ford finally canceled its funding for him.

When the cruise ship docked at the pier, Eiffel Bulls said with great expectation.

"I don't care what this city looks like, but I know that they are the only company that has taken the initiative to fund my research, and I will definitely prove to them here that automated production line production will definitely replace the old production line. By then

, the whole world will be shocked by the production capabilities displayed by automated production lines.”

Maybe

Nikola Tesla did not refute or argue with Mr. Boors in front of him, but from Boors' words, he seemed to be convinced of the fact that this place might really be able to support his own.

Research and ultimately realize your dreams.

"beep……"

With the last long whistle, the cruise ship docked. The crew slowly lowered the gangway, and the people carrying luggage looked at this strange Asian town in front of them with various eyes. Most of them

I accepted the invitation from Liuhe Company or Longhai Company to work here.

"I hope..."

In the whisper of prayer, Nikola Tesla walked off the cruise ship with his luggage. When he set foot on this land, he suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if this would be his life.
