My Italian

Chapter 15: Here comes Tesla

After the meeting with Garibaldi's personal representative, Carlo devoted himself to the construction of the R&D center, and his homework did not fall behind during this period.

"Your Majesty, your history class is very good. I suggest that you can add history courses in other parts of the world. Which one do you want to choose?"

"The Far East, I like the history of the Far East."

After just finishing a class, Carlo was having an after-class conversation with his history teacher.

"Your Majesty, Domingo has returned with the people you need."

Baron Filimic quietly approached Carlo and whispered the news to him.

"understood."

After replying to Felipe Mitch, Carlo continued to talk with his history teacher. However, the history teacher was still very discerning, and immediately left on the grounds that he had something to do.

Carlo waited until he sent his history teacher out the door, then calmly replied to Filimic, who was standing aside. "Now we're going to meet Mr. Tesla."

Felipe Mitch felt more and more that His Majesty became more and more stable, that he could do everything in an orderly manner, and he was not impatient at all in the face of any news, and he became more and more like a monarch.

Actually, not only Felipe Mitch felt this way, but even Carlo himself felt more and more at ease. Maybe this is the taste of power. Although he currently has little power, he is becoming more and more proficient in controlling other people's affairs.

In a reception room, Tesla was admiring the mural on the wall, while Domingo was explaining it.

"This is a fresco painted by Master Giordano in the last century. This fresco is first-class in terms of color and meaning, and it fully meets the expectations of the master. This is also a painting that he has rarely done in Rome."

Well, to talk about art to a scientist, that means he has mastered all the six orifices, but he does not know one. However, even ordinary people can feel the beauty of this harvest mural, so Tesla rarely replied. "It's really beautiful."

Now Tesla doesn't hate Domingo anymore. After he woke up and said what he didn't finish, Domingo knew that he had made an oolong. Since there was a misunderstanding, he naturally needed compensation. On the way back, Domingo worked his best to let Tesla feel the life of the upper class.

As a royal servant, the servants were still easy to handle, and Tesla's attitude towards Domingo also changed from dissatisfaction to calmness to friendliness. By the time they got to Rome, the two were already half friends.

Tesla is also looking forward to meeting Carlo, and his desire to become friends with the king is also growing stronger.

While the two were studying the mural, the door was opened. Carlo walked in with a look of joy on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Tesla, I'm Carlo, and I apologize for the misunderstanding caused by Domingo."

As soon as Carlo came in, he greeted Tesla first and foremost, and at the same time pulled the relationship between the two, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Tesla, who was infected by Carlo's enthusiasm to the point of being speechless, could only answer immediately. "You... well, Your Majesty Carlo, it's... nice... to meet you."

Actually, he wanted to ask, did we know each other before?

"Mr. Tesla, don't be nervous, just treat me like a friend. Usually my friends call me Carlo."

Does Carlo have any friends?

No, but now there is.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... No, thank you Carlo for your hospitality. I'm no longer angry about that misunderstanding."

Compared with Carlo, Tesla was more excited, and he really never thought about being friends with the king.

Seeing that Tesla was not bothered about being tied up, Carlo got down to business. "Your Excellency Tesla..."

"My friends call me Nikolai."

In the face of Tesla's small corrections, Carlo changed his words like a good man. "Okay, Nikolai. This time I asked you to help me. I am currently building an electrical R&D center, but I am missing a person in charge. And you happen to be very good at electrical, so I would like to ask You come to preside over this R&D center. Of course, in terms of remuneration, I will not let my friends suffer, and the conditions in the letter will be subject to this."

Carlo's words moved Tesla very much. He didn't realize his hobby of electricity, which made this His Majesty take such a fancy to him. Although he didn't know where Carlo learned about his ability in electrical research, presiding over a research and development center made him so interested. He felt too stressed.

"Then may I ask, where is this R&D center and how big is it?"

"At present, I choose to be located in Marino, a suburb of Rome, where there is a Lake Albano, the environment is very beautiful, and it is suitable for a research and development center. In addition, as for the scale you are concerned about, my current plan is to accommodate 300 people for electrical research and development. Absolutely It is the largest R&D center of its kind in Europe.”

Carlo's words surprised Tesla, who didn't expect it to be so big. I saw him wave his hand directly after Carlo finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, although I really want to be the head of this R&D center, I still have a very clear understanding of myself. I can't be the head of such a big R&D center at all. I didn't even manage one person before. However, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com please retract this decision."

That's right, although Tesla thinks he is capable, how dare he accept that he needs to directly manage such a large R&D center. If nothing else, he Tesla is still unknown, what can he use to convince others. If he doesn't get a grade, he can't go to work despite all kinds of troubles.

Besides, the largest electrical R&D center in Europe is a very high-profile location, and you can't make a mess if you go there yourself. How old are you, how can you take on such an important task?

Facing Tesla's refusal, Carlo showed a surprised expression. "I've reserved this position for you before, and I think you're a good fit."

"It really doesn't work. You should find another person in charge. I really don't have the qualifications to take this position right now."

After Tesla repeatedly refused, Carlo could only reluctantly accept his request. "Well, since you refused, Nikolai, then I'm looking for someone again. But is it okay for you to be the person in charge of one of the projects?"

"That's fine. I wonder if you think I can be the person in charge of that project?"

For Carlo's suggestion, Tesla accepted it and instead asked what project it was.

Facing Tesla's inquiry, Carlo said seriously. "Although the electrical R&D center is currently under construction, I have seen these new technologies. I think that the self-current used by everyone is not very good at present, and the transmission distance is too close. It is necessary to build a power generation setting nearby, which is not conducive to promotion, so I am optimistic. alternating current, so hopefully you can be responsible for developing practical alternating current technology.”

"There's no problem with this, I just want to try if the knowledge I've learned is enough."

Seeing Tesla agree, Carlo immediately laughed, this time the AC didn't run.
