Chapter 142 The God of Technology Existing Only in Legends
End of June, New York, Times Square.
McDonald's Kingdom Paradise, located at the corner of Broadway and 40th Street, finally kicked off. Li Zitao went to the New York store in person to be in charge of publicity and the opening ceremony.
It's just that he has a new female companion beside him, Celia Strauss.
"Li, may I ask if you are in love..."
"Celia, does the Strauss family agree with your relationship..."
"How long has your relationship been going?"
"Celia, are you pregnant..."
"Li, may I ask how you conquered Chicago Flower..."
As soon as Jintong Yunv got out of the car and stepped on the red carpet, the surrounding reporters surrounded her.
Even if there was a fence blocking them, they leaned forward desperately, with long arms, trying to pass the microphone to their mouths.
"Thank you for your concern. Charlie and I are good friends, and he is also a good friend of my father..."
Li Zitao stood there sullenly, and after Celia gave a brief explanation, the two walked side by side into the store.
"Charlie, come quickly, this is yours." Entering the store, Lawrence was making final preparations for the opening, and an apron was thrown into Li Zitao's hands.
"Will you wear this to the opening ceremony?" Li Zitao was speechless as he unfolded his apron.
"Everyone likes rich people and politicians who are close to the people." Lawrence didn't hear what he said at all. Instead, Roosevelt, who came to cheer, smiled and pointed to the apron on his body.
"Okay!" Li Zitao took off his coat and handed it to Celia, and put the apron around his neck: "Is your publicity plan going well recently?"
"Boss, it's time." Lawrence's assistant rushed over.
"It's not bad, I think it's time to talk about it later." Roosevelt adjusted his tie, and his physical weakness made him have to perform perfectly in public.
"It's time for us to play." The high-spirited Lawrence walked over, Li Zitao stepped forward to take over from Roosevelt's assistant, and pushed the wheelchair to the door.
bang bang bang—
The bright glass doors opened inward, and fireworks and cheers resounded through Times Square.
This high-profile opening ceremony attracted the attention of 40,000 people in New York, and the 40th Street intersection was blocked.
The New York Police Department sent 80 cavalry troops to direct traffic and personnel safety.
"McDonald's New York Kingdom Paradise store is officially open now." Pulling back the red satin covering the signboard, Lawrence shouted excitedly.
Deep in his heart, he has truly regarded the Golden Arches as his own career, and every growth of it has moved and proud of Lawrence.
McDonald's Kingdom Paradise stores, they will be a permanent symbol of McDonald's in the future.
The shape of the McDonald's Kingdom Paradise store in New York is just as planned, a perfect round big apple shape.
At the top, steel rails and iron nets are used to perfectly present the shapes of apple handles and green leaves. This building will definitely become an Internet celebrity in Times Square in the future.
The Lawrence plan and everything is on track, just like the New York government's application to define "Apple Paradise" as a landmark building in New York.
"It's a good idea, I support you." Li Zitao expressed his support after knowing about it.
"I'll say hello to the Landmarks Commission," Roosevelt said.
"Okay, now we need to take care of the customers first." Seeing people walking towards the store, Li Zitao turned and walked towards the cashier.
"Oh~ I like them." Lawrence also stood beside him.
In order to have enough gimmicks, he and Li Zitao would act as cashiers before noon, and the cameras in the corner never stopped.
"One hamburger, two french fries, plus a cup of coffee." Said the old man in a suit and leather shoes, well-matched, with a cane in his hand, with a thin face and a smile.
"Hi, it's...Mr. Tesla." Li Zitao's outstretched hand froze in midair.
"Hello, Lee." Tesla gestured with his hat off, and then put the change in his hand.
"You take over here and give me two family meals." Li Zitao pulled the cashier behind him to replace him.
"Mr. Tesla, I have been looking forward to meeting you, but I was afraid of getting into trouble for you, after all..."
The two CIA agents outside the door did not hide their identities at all, they stood straight and stared at them without blinking.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the Nikola Tesla in the store will disappear out of thin air.
"Hehe, the government is only worried about my safety." Nicholas smiled indifferently.
Li Zitao was a little too excited for this meeting, just like a little fan who saw an idol, but seeing an idol is real, and the excitement is also real.
Nikola Tesla, the god of technology, created more than 1,000 inventions in his life, but gave up all patents to benefit the public.
This is what Li Zitao learned from the Internet in his previous life. There are too many inventions of this big cow.
Radar, radio, X-rays, receiving radio waves from space, the invention of transistors, remote controls, engine spark plugs, neon lights, electric motors.
Many of these inventions were originally named after others, and some people even waited for the Nobel Prize for this.
But in the end it was proved that the original owners of these invention patents were all Nikola Tesla.
He also built the world's first hydroelectric power station, the Niagara Hydroelectric Power Station.
Well, you say these are nothing?
So let's talk about black technology. In 1895, he had the idea of a mobile phone.
So the Wardenclyffe Tower was born, used for transatlantic wireless power transmission experiments, and was later dismantled for some reason, declaring it to be a design flaw.
Wireless charging technology, this big cow has now been completed, and its infinite lighting handheld 'bulb' caused shock in the scientific community when it first appeared.
The design concept of the maglev plane is placed on his hotel table, but unfortunately no one can understand it except him.
It is not known whether the super-energy death light, that is, the energy weapon, really exists.
If it is said that Li Zitao’s life has a cheating device, Nikola Tesla’s brain has a cheating device version 10.0, and it is an enhanced version.
Because of his invention ahead of its time, people even speculated whether he was human.
"Mr. Tesla, if you have time, let's go for a walk together?" Li Zitao smiled while holding a food bag.
"Okay!" Tesla agreed after thinking for a while.
After coming to this world, Li Zitao also cared about the three big men of this era.
Edison, Einstein and Tesla, their images also became real through the intelligence gathered.
Edison, known as the king of inventions in his previous life, was a shrewd businessman.
The inventions he mastered did not come from his research at all, but he took all the inventions of the company as his own through overbearing contract terms.
Just like Tesla back then, after he perfected the technology of DC motors for Edison, he didn't get the $10,000 he promised.
Even when he asked for a wage increase from $18 to $25, our inventor stingily refused.
And all his invention patents during his time in the company belong to our invention king.
There is also direct current. The fundamental purpose of Edison's research on it was because he wanted to develop a power plant and let light bulbs enter thousands of households, so there was the current electric company.
Einstein, the master of physics who influenced the progress of science and technology in the world, was a figure whom the royal families and heads of state of all countries had to meet in person.
His influence is not only in the academic world, he has good relations with the royal families of various countries, actively participates in the cause of the League of Nations, signs anti-government treaties, and serves as an anti-imperialist leader...
It can be said that he flies around every year. Today is country Y, a few days later the United States, and a few days later the Soviet Union, or Vienna and Prague.
In short, although he is not as rich as Edison, his international status is also unmatched by the other party.
Only Nikolai...
He lived in the Traveler Hotel in New York all the year round, lived a cold life, and was "secretly" monitored by CIA agents.
Because he is too threatening in the eyes of the federal government.
Ball lightning, super dead light, hovering aircraft, and the design drawings also contain a variety of weapon configurations. What do you think Washington feels when they see it?
If this nima is not monitored, one day he might turn into an alien and occupy Shuilanxing.
Why did Nikolai become impoverished, really only because he was selfless and willing to share his patents for free?
Because of Edison's all-round suppression?
Because he ceded the patent of alternating current to Westinghouse Electric, giving up an invention worth 300 billion dollars?
Because many of his experiments cost a lot of money, soliciting funds everywhere to find investment?
Li Zitao once thought so, but after he came to Shuilanxing and carefully investigated the past of Nicholas, he denied this judgment.
The real reason for his current situation is precisely because of his clever brain.
A Ye Luzi who had never received an orthodox education suddenly became a world-sweeping monk with world-class martial arts as if enlightened.
A small invention can crush the entire scientific community, and a single idea can be half or even a century ahead of its time.
When people were still developing how to improve gunpowder weapons, energy weapons were already in his mind.
One step ahead of the times is a genius, two steps ahead of the times is a monster, one century ahead of the times...
Therefore, everyone wants to obtain advanced technology from him, but everyone is full of jealousy and fear of him in their hearts.
This also includes Washington.
In this country where money is paramount, how could it be possible that Edison's suppression alone made Nikola nowhere to go, and finally chose to give up all patents to benefit the society?
If it really benefits society, the current technology can at least advance to the 21st century.
Every copy of Nikolai's truly valuable research manuscripts will be copied. Li Zitao even doubts whether the famous Area 51 appeared just to study these manuscripts.
If there is really a giant in this era, it is definitely this impoverished god of technology.
"With his help, weapons, energy sources, airplanes, and cruise ships are nothing." Li Zitao, who saw the real person, was very excited.
Don't look at this big cow's external achievements are all related to people's livelihood, but just the spherical lightning, super-power death light and hovering plane, you can see his proficiency in weapons.
