The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Snowflakes were flying and falling to the ground.

In such weather, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly felt sad.

He said goodbye to his young apprentice and walked alone on the sparsely populated street.

All I can think about is...hot pot.

It would be a shame not to eat hot pot in this weather.

He thought about it seriously and thought of everyone he could think of. It seemed like nothing was wrong.

He went to the train station and bought a tailgate seat from the conductor.

The conductor provided smiling service throughout the entire process.

After getting on the train, the passengers next to me behaved quite well. At most, they only showed some dissatisfaction with their eyes, but did not speak.

Zhao Chuanxin really changed the trend in New York within ten days.

I don’t know how long it can last, but at least Zhao Chuanxin did it!

Time flies to November 15th.

It is also the birthday of Cixi, the famous anti-Qing general.

Many big things were going to happen on this day.

Sun Gongwu originally planned to rebel on this day, but the plan was aborted because of something unexpected.

On this day, Zhao Chuanxian was taking Samuel Goldberg and his family to have hot pot with Miao Cuihua and Mahina.

Not in a good mood, beer and barbecue. Feeling a little bad, fixing the crayfish. Not bad, not bad. The hot pot should be spicy.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to have hot pot two days ago, but there was no suitable pot. He added money and spent two days to find someone to rush to build a copper pot.

Charcoal stove, copper pot rack.

Zhao Chuanxin saw Miao Cuihua instructing the servant how to mix the sauce, and said, It's not very enjoyable to just eat hot pot.

Benjamin Goldberg recently practiced speaking Chinese and asked: Master, how can I eat more vigorously? Do I need to do more?

Whenever this happens, Miao Cuihua wants to laugh.

Mouth full of dirt.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: Nothing but two and a half. Freddy, bring some beer.

Miao Cuihua rolled her eyes: Two and a half beers?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: Wenwu Liquor, Hero Cup, just blow on the bottle. The amount is deep, so as not to scare the guests.

Benjamin Goldberg said: Yeah, it's almost enough to invite my mother. My dad drinks a lot at night. If he wants to drink again today, let him go up there and I will go home with my mother. …”

Miao Cuihua couldn't stop laughing.

Rachel Kraves and Samuel Goldberg were dumbfounded.

What is your son talking about?

Rachel Kervis coughed: Ahem, Ethan, let me tell you something.

Remember to call me John Constantine from now on. I will change my name next time I come to the United States. Zhao Chuanxin asked, What's the matter?

Rachel Kervis and Samuel Goldberg looked at each other, and she said, We... are going to travel to the East to let Samuel relax.

Miao Cuihua winked at Zhao Chuanxin: Look, I'm still worried.

Rachel Kervis saw the two of them flirting and understood something.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But what does this have to do with her?

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care, he laughed and said: Okay, I happened to charter the ship, so I saved half the ticket.

At this time, the beer arrived.

But the copper pot has not yet boiled.

Freddy Pavitt led people to bring in the oak barrels and said to Zhao Chuanxin: Master, here comes a tall and pale gentleman with a straight back and a straight back. He looks about forty-five or six years old.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately knew who was coming: Bring him in and add a pair of chopsticks and a sauce plate.

He didn't go out of his way to greet her.

Although this person was praised to the sky by later generations, now he is at best considered an employee of Zhao Chuanxuan.

Sure enough, the person coming was Nikola Tesla.

He wore an overcoat, which swayed as he walked because he was tall and thin.

He was holding a cloth bag in his hand.

There was some mud on his shoes, and it looked like he had walked a long way.

The main seat was facing the door. Zhao Chuanxin was in the main seat. When he saw him, he waved: Nicola, come here and eat hot pot together.

Nikola Tesla was not an aloof from the world. Although he was shy, he nodded politely to everyone.

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and introduced: This is Nikola Tesla. People who pay attention to science should recognize him.

Miao Cuihua didn't react much, and Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis were a little surprised.

But Benjamin Goldberg jumped up from his chair: Sir, are you the genius who invented countless inventions?

Zhao Chuanxin ignored his apprentice and introduced the others first, then pointed at his apprentice and said, My apprentice, Benjamin Goldberg, you two have one thing in common, which is imagination.

Nikola Tesla was surprised: How is that possible? I have never met anyone who has had a similar experience to me.

He is a proud and conceited man.

Benjamin Goldberg was unhappy when he heard it: Sir, just because you haven't encountered it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Zhao Chuanxin slapped him on the back of the head: Oh, you are not allowed to say this in the future. Do you know that?

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist…

Some people who have never seen anything before always use this kind of words to promote some supernatural or supernatural events.

Even though Zhao Chuanxin likes to be mysterious and is nicknamed a mage, in fact he is a staunch materialist.

Benjamin Goldberg was unconvinced.

Zhao Chuanxin said: Sit down, we can all have hot pot together.

Nikola Tesla hesitated and sat down.

He couldn't figure out what Zhao Chuanxin wanted to eat.

He has never had hot pot.

Freddy Pavitt's smart dress and his accentuated British accent all indicate that he is a butler.

Therefore, Nicholas Pavitt said politely: Sir, can you get me a glass of milk, chicken, eggs, and if you have coarse grain bread, please get me some. If you have rice, it would be best.

Freddie Pavitt put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and ordered the servant to prepare.

Zhao Chuanxin said: If you want to eat hot pot, don't eat poultry, just beef and mutton, and drink it with beer.

Nikola Tesla shook his head: I usually only eat poultry and fish, and eat very little meat. It has less uric acid and is easier to digest than beef. Rice contains less uric acid. The cause of most diseases that hinder the body's metabolic processes They are all uric acid, rheumatism, arthritis, hypertension, etc. People who live in cities and do not have that much activity should pay attention to uric acid...

Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kervis were stunned, Miao Cuihua was thoughtful, and Benjamin Goldberg was in a daze.

Only Zhao Chuanxin's face was full of pain: If you can't drink wine or eat meat, go to the children's table.

... Nikola Tesla said seriously: You can drink wine, it is good for our body.

... Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself that you must be teasing me: Nicholas, is it true that whatever you love is good for your body?

It is difficult to say that this is a rigorous-thinking scientist.

How did wine become a beneficial thing?

No, I'm serious. Nikola Tesla explained matter-of-factly: When I first saw the induction motor I invented working, my heart almost collapsed. Fortunately, one day The bottle of brandy was at hand, and after I drank it, which balanced my nervous excitement, I was able to look at the rotation of the motor philosophically. If possible, I don't want to drink beer. Please give me a glass of brandy. Beer absorbs alcohol more easily. It increases a person’s waistline.”

Benjamin Goldberg said in Chinese: Master, is this called crossing the road?

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with deep understanding.

The meaning of gailu is Guanwai dialect, weird, or weird.

Nikola Tesla looked at Benjamin and asked him: Do you speak a language other than English? What language is this? How many languages ​​do you speak? I speak eight.

Benjamin Goldberg frowned, as if he was being compared: I can speak English, French, Latin and Chinese. But I'm still young, and I will definitely know more than you in the future.

Nikola Tesla shook his head slightly: That's not necessarily true. Everyone's memory is different.

Haha, my head can hold the entire world I built. I am perfecting it. It encompasses everything. What does a few languages ​​mean?

Samuel Goldberg and Rachel Kravis were stunned.

Samuel Goldberg asked: Benjamin, when did you learn French and Chinese?

Latin is understandable because it is taught in school.

They know the name of Nikola Tesla, and now it seems that their son can be compared with this genius, and in their opinion, Nikola Tesla and his son are really similar in some aspects.

Could it be that Benjamin Goldberg’s eccentric behavior is really not a disease but a talent?

Rachel Kervis couldn't help but look at Zhao Chuanxin. How did he know Benjamin better than they did as parents?

If you think about it more carefully, Zhao Chuanxin's behavior is actually different from ordinary people, it's just another form of specialness.

Benjamin Goldberg propped his chin up and had the same calm and calm expression as Zhao Chuanxin: You can learn it by just reading, basic operations, don't make a fuss.

Couple: ...

Seeing that the water in the copper pot was boiling, Zhao Chuanxin put the fresh beef slices into it and said, Nicola, have you achieved anything in the past few days?

Nikola Tesla opened the cloth bag he brought and said excitedly: That device of yours is called Thor's Hammer, right? It's a very good name. I looked through all the available information and found out that its storage Energy modules have never been discovered by humans. What on earth is this?

Let's call it Devil's Crystal. Seeing the pot boiling for the second time, Zhao Chuanxin directly scooped out the beef and started eating. No matter what it is called, have you gained anything?

Some items in the Code of the Old Gods look like magic when viewed from Earth. However, it is not.

Who can guarantee whether there is some magical substance on a planet outside the Milky Way?

It's as if some people think that if a world with weapons like Zhao Chuanxin's spider legs could be created, it would at least look like Earth, or that the world that Earth has would have them, and it would have those that Earth doesn't have.

But what is the basis for this idea?

Nikola Tesla is the perfect example.

Without this person, the world may be very different in the future.

His inventions involve alternating current, radio, solar energy, radar, robots, remote control, artificial satellites, artificial lightning, the Internet, etc... and there are many more.

Without these, would the future still be that future? Perhaps humans in the 21st century will climb the technological tree by a different route.

This is also the reason why a person in later generations named his car after Nikola Tesla because he admired him.

The world in the Code of the Old Gods is completely different from the earth, so its technological development path must also be different.

It is foolish to try to speculate on another world using the thinking of people on Earth.

Just as it is impossible for humans to frame the ideas of the Old Ones according to their own moral and behavioral standards.

Don’t overestimate your thinking, you know? Because it has solidified.

Nikola Tesla took out something much bigger than Big Brother from the cloth bag. He took out another light bulb and placed it on the dining table.

He said proudly: I modified Mjolnir into a portable Wardenclyffe Tower!

this,

That’s my amplified transmitter!

As he spoke, he operated a few times, and the light bulb on the dining table suddenly lit up...

After all, this is a science fiction book, so how could it not include the weirdos on earth?
