My Italian: Chapter 25 disappointment

Following Ruferi's secret order, the French side began secret preparations. They first need to get the UK's support, and now is the time for the UK to deliver on its promises.

As for Germany, the opportunity was soon given. The Russian Tsar Alexander II was assassinated by the Populists, and France, a friendly country, immediately dispatched important ministers to St. Petersburg, just in time to take the opportunity to secretly contact German Prime Minister Pesmer.

Of course, all that France did was done in secret, and the Italian side was completely unaware of it.

So what is Italy doing?

I'm sorry, but Italy has a lot of things to deal with at the moment, so I don't have time to think about other directions. The first is that Italy is currently plagued by drought. Southern Italy has had little rainfall since last winter, which is unusually severe for Italy, which has a typical Mediterranean climate.

You must know that the Mediterranean climate is rainy in winter and less rain in summer. If there is little rain in winter, then don't expect it in summer. Therefore, in the face of the drought in the south, Cairoli, the prime minister, is also in a rut. On the one hand, he needs to arrange manpower to deal with this drought, and on the other hand, he has to control the political situation in Rome. It can be said that he is too busy.

Of course, he is also fortunate that the former Prime Minister De Pretis did not make any small moves during this period, which allowed him to deal with other aspects with all his strength.

Of course, as a qualified politician, he would never give his back to others, and the same is true for him. At present, he is also staring at the former Prime Minister of Anfen.

In addition to the former prime minister who was pegged by him, he was able to understand the regent Duke Amedio and King Carlo who could influence the situation in Rome.

It is precisely because of this that he can focus on disaster relief.

Among the three people who were closely monitored by him, former Prime Minister De Pretis also did not sit idly by in the face of the drought. He publicly called on everyone to raise funds for the drought. So far, more than one million lire has been raised.

And it is rare for the regent to come out of Wenrou Township and go to the south as a royal family. Of course, the problem has not been solved, but there are a few more confidantes.

As for Carlo, who didn't go to the south for a catwalk, but instead ran to Marino every three days, it was obvious that he treasured the Electric Power Research Center.

"Your Majesty, you are here again."

Looking at Carlo who just got off the carriage, Tesla complained helplessly.

"Hahaha, Nikolai, you are complaining again."

Facing Tesla's words, Carlo replied with a smile.

The conversation between the two made Director Argos, who was supposed to be mainly in charge of reception, envied. But this envy just looked at it, he didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have. After all, he and the king are not friends, but they are not qualified to talk like friends. And the current research center is Tesla alone enough to talk to the king in front of him like a friend.

It is said that since the opening of the Electric Power Research Center, Carlo, the king, will come to Marino whenever he has time. Of course, it was good in the past, and His Majesty still needs other influences, so I can do it once a week at most, but now I come once every two or three days.

The reception standard of the research center was also greeted by all the staff from the beginning, and gradually changed to just him and Tesla standing in front of the door.

Of course, this is not because the research center wants to neglect him. It is a big taboo to ignore the sponsor. The experienced director, Your Excellency, will not make this mistake.

The main reason is that Carlo doesn't like to make it so grand. He thinks that the R&D center should focus on research, not on cumbersome etiquette. If he wants to repay him, then he should show the research results.

Therefore, the two directors and deputy directors of the research center naturally followed the flow, reducing the scale of welcome.

"Director Argos, is there any progress in research recently?"

As a polished figure in the political circle, Carlo, of course, would not just focus on talking to Tesla. He naturally gave the director the respect he deserved and asked questions about the research and development results.

"You've come here every three days, and you're almost more familiar than us."

Inwardly, he was talking about his monarch. Of course, he can only talk about it, but he can't say it out. Otherwise, who knows what the consequences will be.

"Your Majesty, you also know that scientific research work is very boring, and it takes a long time to achieve results. At present..."

"Okay, I see. You need to redouble your efforts to get results as soon as possible, so that the Italian people can see your contribution."

Carlo dismissed the director in a few words, and then he and Tesla walked all the way to the AC laboratory. That's right, what he is looking forward to most is the commercial use of alternating current, but although alternating current has long been invented, practical alternating current has not been used for a long time.

The main problem is that the construction cost of alternating current is more expensive than that of direct current, and the transmission loss is less than that of alternating current. Of course, alternating current is not without its benefits. Its long-distance and high-efficiency power transmission has attracted many people's attention.

However, the current scale of electricity use does not make the advantage of alternating current very apparent.

Of course, having said so much, there is another point, that is, the current power of the AC motor is not enough, and the electricity bill is relatively expensive. This one item makes many people dislike AC.

Tesla's current main task is to develop a high-frequency alternator to reduce the cost of alternating current. After all, it is also electricity, so why let others choose expensive ones. Capitalists don't care about the pursuit of profit, as long as it is practical and cheap, it is the best. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

As soon as you enter the laboratory, there are all kinds of motors here. You can find them on the market or not. Many of them are bought from other labs. Do research and take notes.

These motors cost a lot, which also shows Carlo's expectations for them.

Of course, Tesla is not a fool. Seeing that Carlo attaches so much importance to this, of course he also knows how heavy the burden is, so he pointed to these disassembled motors and said. "Your Majesty, we have studied all kinds of motors, which has a huge role in promoting the study of high-frequency AC motors."

"Very good." After looking at the busy crowd and admiring, Carlo turned his head and said to Tesla next to him. "Although I don't want to rush it, I still hope that there will be results as soon as possible, even if it is not an AC project, other projects are fine."

That's right, Carlo was a little impatient. Of course, he knew that scientific research couldn't be rushed, but now he was still impatient.

"Your Majesty, I can understand your mood, but science can't be false, and I can't give you any guarantee."

Tesla answered Carlo with some guilt on his face. As a friend, of course he wanted to help, but at the moment he dared not say when the research would come out. This thing is a bit metaphysical, maybe there will be a major breakthrough tomorrow, but maybe there will be no progress for several years.

Of course, Carlo also knew this way, but he still couldn't help being impatient. Maybe it was his juvenile habits that made him impatient.

But after Tesla communicated for a while, Carlo left with disappointment. Of course, he will not give up the laboratory, even if he can afford the funds for the laboratory for ten years.

While Italy is busy, France has made diplomatic progress.
