After meeting with Garibaldi's personal representative, Carlo devoted himself to the construction of the R&D center, and during this period his homework also did not fall behind.
"Your Majesty, your history class is very good. I suggest you add history classes from other parts of the world. I don't know which area you want to choose?"
"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 is back with the people you need."
Baron Felicius quietly approached Carlo and told him the news in a low voice.
"knew."
After replying to Fili Mickey, Carlo continued to talk to his history teacher. However, the history teacher was still very discerning and immediately left on the grounds that he had something else to do.
Carlo waited until he sent his history teacher out the door, and then calmly replied to Felicity Mickey, who was standing aside waiting. "Now let's go see Mr. Tesla."
Feli Mickey felt more and more that His Majesty was becoming more and more stable, and was able to do everything in an orderly manner, and was not impatient at all when faced with any news, becoming more and more like a monarch.
In fact, not only Mickey Mouse feels this way, but even Carlo himself feels that he is getting more and more restless. Maybe this is the taste of power. Although he currently does not have much power, he becomes more and more skilled at controlling others.

…
In a reception room, Tesla was admiring the murals on the wall, while Domingo was explaining it.
"This is a mural done by Master Giordano in the last century. The mural is first-class in terms of color and meaning, and fully meets the master's expectations. This is one of the few paintings he did in Rome."
Well, for a scientist to talk about art, he has seven things and six things, but he knows nothing. But even ordinary people can feel the beauty of this harvest mural, so Tesla rarely replied. "It's really beautiful.
.”
Now Tesla no longer hates Domingo. After he woke up and said what he had not finished, Domingo knew that he had made an own mistake. Since there was a misunderstanding, he naturally needed to make amends. On the way back
, Domingo worked hard to let Tesla feel the life of the upper class.
As a royal attendant, he still had plenty of service people at his fingertips, and Tesla's attitude towards Domingo also changed from dissatisfaction to calmness to friendliness. By the time they arrived in Rome, the two were already half-friends.
Tesla was also looking forward to meeting Carlo, and his desire to become friends with the king became stronger and stronger.
While the two were studying the mural, the door was opened. Carlo walked in with a happy expression on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Tesla. I am Carlo. I apologize for the misunderstanding caused by Domingo."
As soon as Carlo came in, he greeted Tesla preemptively, and at the same time he was also building a relationship between the two of them, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Tesla, who was so moved by Carlo's enthusiasm that he could not speak, could only reply immediately. "Hello...Hi, Your Majesty Carlo, I am...pleased...to meet you."
In fact, he wanted to ask if we had known each other before.
"Mr. Tesla, don't be nervous. Just treat me as a friend. Usually my friends call me Carlo."
Does Carlo have any friends?
Not really, but now there is.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... no, thank you Carlo for your warm hospitality. I am no longer angry about that misunderstanding."
Compared with Carlo, Tesla seemed more excited and never thought about becoming friends with the king.
Seeing that Tesla was no longer obsessed with being kidnapped, Carlo got down to business. "Your Excellency Tesla..."
"My friends call me Nikolai."
Faced with Tesla's small correction, Carlo changed his tune as usual. "Okay, Nikola. I invite you here this time because I want you to help me. I am currently building an electrical research and development center.
, but there is a lack of a person in charge. And you happen to be excellent in electrical aspects, so I would like to ask you to preside over this R&D center. Of course, in terms of remuneration, I will not let my friends suffer. The conditions agreed to you in the letter are as follows
This shall prevail.”
Carlo's words moved Tesla very much, but his interest in electrical research caught His Majesty's eye so much. Although he didn't know where Carlo learned about his ability in electrical research, he presided over a research and development center.
Make him feel that he is under too much pressure.
"Excuse me, where is this R&D center and how big is it?"
"Currently, I have chosen Marino, a suburb of Rome, where there is Lake Albano. The environment is very beautiful and is suitable for a research and development center. In addition, in terms of scale you are concerned about, my current plan is to be able to accommodate 300 people for electrical research and development. Absolutely
It is the largest R&D center of its kind in Europe.”
Tesla was shocked by Carlo's words. He didn't expect it to be so big. After Carlo finished speaking, he waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, although I really want to be the person in charge of this R&D center, I still have a very clear understanding of myself. I simply cannot be the person in charge of such a large R&D center. I have never managed anyone before.
However, please take back this decision."
Yes, although Tesla considers himself capable, how dare he accept it if he is asked to directly manage such a large R&D center. If nothing else, Tesla is still unknown, so what can he do to let others know?
Convinced. If there is no achievement, all kinds of worries can prevent him from working.
Besides, the largest electrical R&D center in Europe is a very high-profile position. If you go up there yourself, you won’t be able to cause a huge stir. Who do you think you are, how can you take on this important task?
Faced with Tesla's refusal, Carlo showed a surprised expression. "I have always reserved this position for you. I think you are very suitable."
"It really doesn't work. You should find another person in charge. I really don't have the qualifications to take on this position now."
After Tesla repeatedly refused, Carlo could only reluctantly accept his request. "Okay, since Nikola you refused, I'm looking for someone else. But it's okay for you to be the person in charge of one of the projects, right?"
?”
"That's fine. I wonder if you think I can be the person in charge of that project?"
Tesla accepted Carlo's suggestion and asked what project it was.
Faced with Tesla's inquiry, Carlo said seriously. "Although the electrical R&D center is currently under construction, I see these new technologies and I think the current self-current used by everyone is not very good and the transmission distance is too short. It must be
Building power generation facilities nearby is not conducive to promotion, so I am optimistic about alternating current, so I hope you can be responsible for developing practical alternating current technology."
"There is no problem with this. I just want to test whether the knowledge I have learned is enough."
Seeing Tesla agreeing, Carlo immediately laughed. This time the AC didn't run away.
