After Carlo relented, the Italian government also became involved in the king's marriage, and invitation letters were sent to unmarried women from royal families in various countries.
Among them, Germany and Austria, the former Holy Roman Empire with the largest number of royal families, have the most letters.
In fact, this is very easy to understand. On the one hand, Germany and Austria are Italy's current allies, and on the other hand, there are many former HRE royal families, which are beneficial to Italy and the royal family, both in terms of historical background and practical needs.
As for whether these invitations will be rejected, Italy's prosperous performance in recent years and the actual situation of Carlo's power are enough to make people tempted. Besides, Carlo is not a bad person. Although he is not an unparalleled beauty, he is
Among the young people of the various royal families, he is considered to be of the upper-middle level, and his abilities are so outstanding that there is no reason for him to be disliked.
Of course, it will take some time to choose a wife for Carlo. After all, royal beauties from different countries have different journeys and the time required is also different.
While Italy was busy selecting the king's wife, in the small town of Marino on the outskirts of Rome, a young man was tinkering with one of his gadgets in the famous electrical experimental center.
"Marconi, I didn't expect you to be ready to start so soon."
The speaker was Mr. Tesla, a world-famous electrical guru, president of the Italian Academy of Engineering, specially invited tenured professor at many universities, specially invited scholar of the Italian National Grid, and chief technical expert of Westinghouse Company.
Of course, in addition to these eye-catching titles, Tesla also has another title, that is, Marconi's teacher.
Yes, after the two met at the Pavia Hydropower Station, Tesla fell in love with this young man named Marconi. And Marconi also admired this world-renowned great scientist. As for Marconi’s parents,
Naturally, he was very willing to see his son interact with Tesla. The relationship between the two quickly deepened, and it didn't take long for Tesla to accept him as one of his disciples.
Although Tesla did not have much time to teach Marconi due to time constraints, the teachings of two top people with high IQs were not as cumbersome as others.
Therefore, under Tesla's guidance, little Marconi grew rapidly and was able to conduct his own experiments in the Marino Laboratory. Of course, Tesla's face was somewhat involved in this.
Speaking of the current Marino Laboratory, it is considered a famous place in the world. The experiment has achieved a lot of results in recent years and has become the most desirable place for electrical scientists from all over the world.
Sufficient funding, top-notch equipment, and a sufficiently relaxed environment are the current impact of Marino Laboratory on electrical scientists from all over the world. Therefore, in recent years, electrical scientists who want to work at Marino Laboratory have been rushing across the river.
There are countless others. Of course, since it is a top laboratory, it needs top talents. The people Marino has accepted over the years are all top-notch.
The Marino Laboratory has been able to grow, and its director, Director Argos, deserves the most credit. In the past ten years, he has worked with many power companies and received a lot of funding from them. The secret is to combine scientific research with practicality.
Let various companies be willing to invest money in the laboratory.
For example, the Italian National Grid Company invested 4.2 million lire in the laboratory last year alone, making it one of the major funders of the laboratory.
Don't get me wrong, State Grid is not influenced by anyone, but provides it voluntarily after having tasted enough sweetness.
Over the years, the State Grid has invested up to 14.91 million lire in the Marino Laboratory, and the various technologies fed back have allowed the company to earn a profit of 35.97 million lire. This investment will not stop anyone with a normal IQ.
Speaking of the State Grid, I would like to mention here that the Italian State Grid Corporation of Italy is currently the largest power company in Europe. It has 960,000 kilowatts of generating units, accounting for 2/3 of Europe's power generation.
At present, the State Grid is still not satisfied. They plan to increase their generating units to the target of 1.5 million kilowatts. At the same time, they are working with companies such as Westinghouse to expand the power of generators and reduce coal consumption.
With the continued development of enterprises such as State Grid, the use of Italian electricity will surely rise to a new level.
Of course, this is all a matter for the future. Tesla is currently more concerned about the conditions of his disciples' experiments.
At present, the two currently have a simple instrument, exposed wires, and an obviously modified wired transmitter. The biggest difference from the wired transmitter is that no one can ignore its long antenna.
Tesla looked at the machine in front of him, looked around, and suddenly asked his disciple in a low voice. "Marconi, have you done experiments secretly before?"
Facing his teacher's sudden inquiry, Marconi shook his head.
Seeing the honest disciple, Tesla smiled and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him, and then asked.
"Electromagnetic wave communication will be a great innovation if it succeeds. How sure are you of this?"
"Teacher, I am quite sure. I have been very interested in electromagnetic waves since Hertz discovered them four years ago."
"I know this. You pestered me all day long just to understand the situation of electromagnetic waves. I was too busy to notice it at the time, so I explained it to you while watching."
"But the teacher explained it very thoroughly and gave me a thorough understanding of electromagnetic waves."
The two chatted about the situation of electromagnetic waves. In fact, European countries have not yet discovered the practicality of electromagnetic waves, which were newly discovered only a few years ago. They are only limited to understanding them.
Speaking of the discovery of electromagnetic waves, in addition to Hertz, there was another person: the British physicist Maxwell. He proposed the phenomenon of electric field induction in the 1960s, but due to his untimely death, he failed to discover electromagnetic waves and left this opportunity to
Gave it to Hertz. As for the practicality of electromagnetic waves now, the younger Marconi plans to try his hand.
The conversation was terminated only after other staff members had checked the circuit and instrument conditions.
"Now the equipment has been checked and the experiment can be carried out."
After receiving the notice from the staff, Marconi showed an excited expression. After all, this was the first time he had proposed an experiment based on his own ideas, so how could he not be excited.
Tesla on the side looked at his disciple's excited expression and patted him. "Marconi, go ahead, this is your experiment."
After receiving encouragement from his teacher, Marconi moved towards the simple instrument. Although this instrument was very simple, it was also the hard work of him and his teacher.
Walking to the transmitting equipment, he used Morale code to send out the telegram that would affect the world in the future.
A few minutes later, a staff member ran in with a Morcode message.
Tesla took the message, which was the world's first wireless telegraph sent by Marconi.
"Hello, electromagnetic waves!"
"We made it!"
Marconi, who also saw the telegram, jumped up excitedly.
Tesla looked at his disciple with a smile on his face. "Yes, it was successful!"
Unlike the young Marconi, Tesla, as a top electrician, knew what the success of this experiment meant.
In the future, electronic communications will no longer rely on telegraph lines, so the development potential is simply unlimited.
And all of this was done by his disciple who was not yet seventeen years old. At this moment, he was proud of Marconi.
