The Po River is the largest river in Italy. It originates from the Alps and flows through Turin, Alessandria, Rovigo and other cities. In addition, its basin includes Milan, Brescia, Ferrara and other cities. It can be said to be the largest river in Italy.
Economically important rivers.
Since this place is very economically capable, it has a huge demand for power, and the use of water conservancy and steam power is also very ordinary. Now a dam on the Po River is beginning to take shape thanks to the hard work of workers. This is the first large-scale hydropower station in Italy.
, the construction site of the Pavia Hydroelectric Station.
Speaking of the construction of this hydropower station, it has also attracted the attention of power scientists in other countries because it is the first large-scale alternating current hydropower station.
Yes, Tesla has developed a large generator. Currently, this generator has a power of 2.5KV. In order to build the Pavia Hydropower Station this time, Westinghouse Electric Company, under the leadership of Tesla, built four sets of generators.
dynamo.
Of course, it hasn't been transported yet, because the dam has not been completed yet, and it will take some time to block the 400-500-meter Po River.
However, this still attracted many people to come and watch.
Among so many people, a young man, led by an adult, also came to watch the dam being built.
"What a spectacular sight."
The young Marconi looked at the built dam and exclaimed in admiration.
"Gaglielmo, be careful and don't fall into the river."
After his death, his mother Anne Jimson was worried about her son.
"Don't worry, he knows it's safe."
As a father, Giuseppe Marconi told his wife not to pay too much attention to this.
Speaking of which, Marconi was born into a very wealthy family. He was smart since he was a child, but he did not go to school at all because his mother, Anne Jimson, directly hired a university professor to be his tutor (not envious).
Of course, he has lived up to his mother's expectations since he was a child. He is very dedicated to learning, completely surpassing his peers. At this time, he was very interested in physics, electricity, and electromagnetism, and often used school equipment to do experiments.
, his private tutor also liked the boy very much and allowed him to borrow books from the school library.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Marconi's intelligence. Whoever sees such a little genius would not want to teach him.
And this time they were able to travel more than 100 kilometers from Bologna to see the Pavia Hydropower Station, which also shows his parents' love for him.
While the Marconi family was looking at the hydropower station under construction with great interest, a group of people passed by them holding drawings.
Marconi's sharp eyes saw someone he had seen before.
"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 to him in surprise.
"What's the matter, kid?"
Tesla was still a little curious about a young man claiming to be his own. You must know that not many people knew him now, and most of them were in the scientific community, and the appearance of a young man made him feel novel.
Facing Tesla's inquiry, Marconi said with excitement. "Mr. Tesla, I have read the principles of electromagnetic applications you published in Science Weekly. I have also done experiments for this. It is really amazing."
Already..."
Marconi, who turned into a little fanboy, talked endlessly about his admiration for Tesla's scientific papers.
Tesla was also very curious about Marconi. "By the way, I remember that this paper requires at least a college level to understand. How old are you now?"
"I'm eleven years old."
Marconi's words made everyone with Tesla look at the young man in surprise.
After all, he was a young man with a thin skin. Marconi blushed and explained, "I still don't understand a lot about your paper, so I asked Teacher Declan and he gave me a detailed answer.
"
Even if Marconi explained, the people around him praised him repeatedly. After all, the Marconi in front of him was too young. This was knowledge that only a college student could understand. It is not an exaggeration to praise a genius.
Marconi was very embarrassed to face the compliments from around him, but his parents came over and greeted the people around him.
After everything gradually calmed down, Marconi looked at Tesla with admiration.
"Mr. Tesla, can I follow you to the hydropower station?"
Logically speaking, children should not be allowed on construction sites, mainly because they are afraid that children will not understand the dangers and may be prone to accidents.
But looking at Marconi with an expectant look on his face, Tesla felt soft-hearted for some reason.
"You need to ask your parents about this."
Tesla's call undoubtedly gave Marconi the green light, and he immediately pestered his parents and said he wanted to follow Tesla in for a look.
Faced with the pestering Marconi, his parents reluctantly agreed after some hard work.
So Marconi, who looked excited, followed Tesla and his party into the construction site after repeated instructions from his parents.
"Mr. Bick, these dimensions must be accurate, because the hydraulic turbine is relatively precise. If there is any deviation, it will have serious consequences."
"You must pay attention to the location of transmission lines. The height must be more than five meters to prevent people from touching them."
Tesla talked a lot about boring topics. Even an adult would probably yawn. However, Marconi still listened with interest, and sometimes even secretly asked Tesla why he did what he said.
In doing so, Tesla rarely had the patience to explain the boy's curiosity one by one.
Of course, such time could not last long, the sun would set soon, and Marconi had no choice but to leave and return to his parents.
"Mr. Tesla, you must write to me when you have time."
Tesla, who felt that this young man was a promising talent, also waved goodbye. "Don't worry, I will definitely write to you when the time comes."
Watching the big one and the small one saying goodbye, everyone else showed big smiles. Of course, they didn't know that this scene would be written into textbooks in the future, becoming the first time for two giants of electricity and electromagnetics to
