【475】Tesla at work

"Ten past ten? Oh, is it night?"

Tesla narrowed his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and looked again: "It's still at this point, why did I fall asleep? I remember, I was still having lunch just now... Lin, Lin, are you there?"

Tesla got off the bed, shouted, and walked to the door of the room.

Lin Mo soon appeared, with a concerned look on his face: "Mr. Tesla, are you sober? Do you want to wash your face, or go back to sleep?"

"No need, I want to know what happened before..."

Tesla felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, pulled a chair and sat down, pinching the bridge of his nose: "I remember, we were having dinner with Professor Liebig, what happened afterwards?"

"Later, when you were full, you said you were going to the Kunpeng Research Institute, and I will go with you!"

"I've already gone to the Kunpeng... research institute? Why don't I have any impression? Well, go on..."

"When you got there, just after you went through the entry procedures, you suddenly fell asleep and snorted. Fortunately, Professor Li Bixi's car hadn't left yet. We discussed it and sent you back to rest." [

"God, Lin, what do you mean... I just finished my report, and I passed out drunk and missed work for half a day?"

Tesla covered his face with his hands: drinking was a mistake, my image, and, alcohol damages the brain too much, I didn't even have any memory left!

"Well, it's not considered absenteeism. I asked for leave for you."

"That's embarrassing enough, Lin, remember to remind me in the future that you can't drink alcohol, not any alcohol!"

"Remember...Mr. Tesla, should you go to bed early? According to the regulations tomorrow morning, you are going to work at the Kunpeng Research Institute."

"Okay, I see, Lin. Good night!"

After Lin Mo left, Tesla shook his head, walked to the bedside table, and saw his ID card lying flat on it, bathed in the silvery moonlight.As if absorbing the essence.

Tesla picked up the ID card, squinted and scanned it, and found a small pattern engraved on the head of the card, behind his number and name.

The inscriptions are three waves, which Tesla had seen before and knew that these really represented the Kunpeng Shipyard.

"Well, I really went to the Kunpeng Research Institute, and the extra engravings can't be fake..."

Tesla tapped his head.Turning over, lying back on the bed again, closing eyes, sleepiness came again.

The next day, Tesla still got up early and went to the Bell Tower Square to follow the 13 sets of radio gymnastics. Although there was no teacher Ma to guide him personally, Tesla still completed more than [-]% of the movements along the way.

For breakfast, go to the cafeteria.This time Lin Mo was eating hot porridge with Tesla.While teaching Chinese.

After dinner, I took the intercity train to the factory area. This time there was no accident, and I didn’t meet the Cabaye driver. Tesla didn’t occupy a seat, and I was holding the armrest alone.He lowered his head and sang to himself in a weird voice: "I'm stupefied, my 'sex' disperses, my 'sex' advances, and I learn to be round...You bastard, hold it!"

After getting out of the car, Lin Mo rubbed the eye circle that was red from the beating, and complained: "Doctor, please memorize the three-character classic. Don't learn my swearing words. Look, you were beaten?" [

"Oh, Lin, you have suffered!"

Tesla said embarrassingly: "It turns out that 'wiping eggs' is a curse word. I saw the tea eggs bought by the person next to me fall off, and I wanted to remind him, but I was misunderstood..."

"...Forget it this time. I won't be able to accompany you when I get to the Kunpeng Research Institute. If you still talk nonsense, you will be the one who turns into a panda!"

"Panda? A bear, or a cat?"

"Why do you care so much? It's not the point... Hey, this is a kind of animal from Bashu, China. It has a black circle and a white circle!"

"Well, I see, isn't it a zebra? It turns out that zebras are called pandas in China..."

"...I won't tell you anymore. There is a key card in front of me. I can't get in. Be careful today! I will go in with you tomorrow after I have completed my identification in the information department."

"Okay, Lin, see you tonight."

This time, the door card was passed without any problem. After passing, Tesla followed several workers from the Kunpeng Shipyard and walked to the research institute.

As mentioned earlier, the research institute is farther away from the key card than the factory, so Tesla trotted for a while before arriving at the entrance of the Kunpeng Research Institute.

The guard checked Tesla's ID card, looked at him suspiciously, and finally waved Tesla into the gate without saying a word.

After entering, Tesla's little heart was still beating wildly. He turned his head and took a peek at the guard, but the two's eyes met again. Tesla was so scared that he turned his head quickly, his neck flushed red. up.

Guard: You have a strange mustache, and you look a little handsome. Is this the new researcher recruited by the director?Hey, I have a heat stroke, and I only had two days off. Unexpectedly, there will be new blood coming in!

Tesla: It's a shame, he must have recognized me, passed out here drunk yesterday, and was carried out, what a shame!Fortunately, I have no memory at all, so I just pretend I don't know, um, I don't know, I don't know anything...

A man who works hard is "charming", and a "charming" day is happy, and happiness always passes quickly, so when the sun sets, the day is over.

At the door card, workers after work came out one after another. Lin Mo was like a virtuous daughter-in-law who was looking forward to her husband's return. When she saw Tesla, she handed over a bunch of baked goods that were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, golden and crispy. Crabmeat: "Mr. Tesla, how was your first day at work?"

Tesla took the crab skewers numbly, was stunned, and then bit down hard: "Hiss, hot, hot tongue... Hey, get on the bus first, let's go back and talk!"

It seems that Tesla is not in a very happy mood.

All the way, Tesla didn't speak, and Lin Mo didn't want to make trouble, so he came to the big dining hall in the living area in such a silent manner.

After ordering two meals, sat down, and took a few bites, Lin Mo smiled and broke the suffocating silence: "Mr. Tesla, I have good news for you."

"what?"

"My identity certificate is ready, and I can accompany you to work tomorrow. With my translator, I believe you will not have any obstacles in communicating with others..."

Lin Mo believes that Tesla's bad mood comes from poor communication.

"Go to work, go to work..."

Tesla suddenly smashed two tea eggs.Stuffed two eggs into his mouth, put the index fingers of both hands against the corners of his mouth, shrugged upwards, and made a bulging smile: "Lin, I want to see the earl, my job. It's exactly what he promised me. no the same!"

Lin Mo held back his laughter, and a surprised and comforting expression appeared on his chubby face: "Mr. Tesla, calm down, shhh, the whereabouts of the young master are kept secret! What complaints do you have?" , if you have any grievances, you can tell me first! Is it because today's work is not going well?"

"Forget it, for sure, after they read my materials. Unexpectedly, pfft, they sent me to draw... woo, draw, draw for a whole day!"

Tesla chewed until the tea eggs exploded, and the yellow and white powder flew around. He stretched out his hands, and all of them were black ink marks of pencils.Also, ten fingers.Swollen like a carrot...

In Tesla's narration like Xianglin's wife, Lin Mo knew his work situation that day.

The dignified electrical engineer actually spent a whole day at the desk drawing ship parts diagrams!

The reason is very simple. After the research team that Tesla was assigned to, the team leader thought Tesla was: number one.The Chinese is unqualified; second, there is no experience in ship design; third, the only resume that has worked in Edison Company is still eye-catching.

The team leader is a rather old Chinese teacher. After comprehensively analyzing Tesla's "advantages and disadvantages", he took on the "important task" of training Tesla very responsibly.A course of treatment was formulated for him, oh no, it was a cycle of intensive training plan.

The first step is to cultivate Tesla's ability to draw and draw.

At the end of the day, except for the 10-minute lunch time and three chances to go to the toilet, Tesla has been sitting at the wooden table and using pencils, rulers and compasses to 'copy' the finished part drawings. , When it was time to get off work, Tesla actually drew hundreds of parts diagrams, and almost lost consciousness with his hands!

"I'm an electrical engineer, and I'm here to help them develop high-performance electric motors!"

Tesla lost control of his emotions slightly, and the rice spoon in his hand danced excitedly: "... instead of wasting life on mechanical drawing, nor selling repetitive manual labor, if this continues, my hands will be disabled Yes! I want to see, hmph, see the director of the Kunpeng Research Institute, they can’t treat me like this, this is overkill, ordering hunting dogs to catch mice!”

Hearing such a metaphor, Lin Mo almost didn't laugh: Hey, is there anyone like you who compares himself to a dog?

"Okay, okay, Mr. Tesla, don't get excited. I also know the director of the Kunpeng Research Institute. I'll accompany you tomorrow and report your real situation to him?"

Lin Mo suppressed his smile, trying to comfort him, and said in his heart: Hey, don't blame me, Mr. Tesla, use other people's money to eliminate disasters, one hundred dollars, I promised Professor Li Bixie, I want you to work in the Kunpeng Research Institute Been frustrated for a while!Hey, who made the main leaders of Kunpeng Shipyard leave Qianji City?

Huo Lan and Zheng Tingxiang went to Shanyi City in advance. The director of the factory, Abin, usually doesn't care about the research institute. He usually squats in Hongriwan. The current director of the Kunpeng Research Institute is Hou Longtao.

"Okay, that's it!"

"Of course, it's a deal!"

The night passed again.

But the next day, Lin Mo suddenly told Tesla that the data department said that there were only two bicycles left, and if they were not exchanged today, they might be out of stock in the next month. He urged Tesla to authorize himself and go to the data today. Ke exchanged this means of transportation.

After thinking about it, Tesla felt that the bicycle seemed to be more important, so he agreed with Lin Mo to change it, but only asked for a letter from Lin Mo, and went to see the "Director Hou" alone in his pocket.

Another day passed.

"Damn, stupid, bastard!"

On Twelfth Avenue, Seventh Street District, in the only villa with lights on, there were angry curses with a strange Chinese accent.

"Mr. Tesla, eat first. It won't taste good when it gets cold. Look at this iron lunch box. I got it for you. The new iron sheet is white and red, so smooth, just like the porcelain in our country... "Lin Mo lowered his head, comforting the furious Tesla: "Remind me, a tortoise is a tortoise, a bastard is a bastard, there are turtle eggs, and there are bastard eggs, but the word black bastard is illegal in Chinese. .”

"Don't tell me about grammar, I don't want to learn Chinese now, I want you to know, Lin, I have drawn parts diagrams for another day, one hundred and eight. Three more than yesterday!"

Tesla had a look of grief and indignation, compared to the three trembling fingers, those fingers were swollen three points thicker than yesterday.

Lin Mo's stomach hurt from laughing, but he still had to put on a surprised expression: "No way? Mr. Tesla, you haven't seen Director Hou?"

"seen!"

"You forgot to bring the letter I wrote?"

"Bring it too!"

"Then why did he arrange for you to draw the picture?"

"You ask me. How do I know? That Director Hou is a bastard! I saw him and showed him the letter, but he tore it up after reading it! And he also said to me, he, He looks down on me, a foreigner who is not pragmatic, has a weak foundation, and is so high-minded. "Fuck", what's wrong with me not being Chinese? If I am not Chinese, I will be discriminated against? Lin, you said that discrimination is not allowed here, But what about him. He is still the head of the school, I, I bah..."

Hey, forgive me, doctor, this letter is my request for a salary increase written for you!

Lin Mo repented silently in his heart.

"Okay, what a big deal. He must be in a bad mood today, and he's taking it out on you!"

Lin Mo comforted him with kind words.And he patted his chest and promised: "Doctor, I will go with you tomorrow. With me here and the order from the young master, are you afraid of his little boss? You eat first, and we have eaten. Let's go for a ride, Take a break?"

Looking from the entrance, I saw two black bicycles parked in the front yard of the villa, brand new and shiny, placed there.Vigorously imposing.

"If you're in a bad mood, can you take it out on me? I won't go tomorrow. If I go again, my hands won't even be able to hold these chopsticks!"

Tesla finally started to eat, his hand holding the chopsticks was like a candle in the wind.

"Hehe, don't be angry, doctor, I promise, if you can't hold the chopsticks, I will feed you... No, no, just kidding, I mean, tomorrow, they will ask you to draw a picture, this picture, I will help you painting!"

"That's not going, I'm going to you!"

"Why? Doctor, have you forgotten what the young master told you?"

Lin Mo was a little flustered. Don't overplay this matter. If Tesla is completely disgusted and delays the development of the electric motor, several of his heads are not enough to kill Long Hao: "Electric motor, you want to develop electric motors!"

"It's useless to go, Director Hou, I won't be in the institute tomorrow."

Tesla hummed, and then buried himself in eating vegetables and rice, probably tired of cursing.

"Not in the house?"

Lin Mo punched his fist in his heart and shouted secretly: God help me too!

"Yes, after he tore up your letter, he left. I didn't know until lunch later that he had left Qianji City, and he won't be here for at least a week."

Tesla said while eating: "Lin, tell me, do I still need to go tomorrow?"

"Is that so..."

Lin Mo pretended to think about it, and said: "Director Hou is not here, and others may not give me face when I go. How about this, I will contact Professor Li Bixi tomorrow and ask him to help you talk about it?"

"Professor Liebig...is it useful for him to go?"

"Of course it's useful, doctor. Let me tell you, it's also a research institute. The level of Meihao Research Institute is much higher than that of Kunpeng Research Institute! If it were me, I wouldn't refuse Professor Li Bixi's kindness..."

Lin Mo quietly added the meaning of 'soliciting'.

Five hundred dollars, if you think about this mustache, you can get it for five hundred dollars!Dr. Tesla, don't blame me, I am also thinking of your welfare!

Lin Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at Tesla with watery eyes.

"Hey, Meihao Research Institute is great, but unfortunately, the main direction of my research is not chemical and pharmaceutical products! Professional, it's not right for me!"

"You are stupid, Doctor!"

Lin Mo saw what was going on, and hurriedly continued to 'slander': "The young master didn't forbid you to work only in the Kunpeng Research Institute. You can join the Meihao Research Institute again! There is no conflict between the two, and you can still get two copies." Salary, such a good thing, you can’t even find it with a lantern!”

"Can you work part-time?"

"Of course, you forgot, Professor Liebig promised it!"

"Is there? I drank too much that day... Well, even if I can work part-time, I can't give up researching electric motors and deal with bottles and cans!"

Tesla was moved, but he was an honest man, and he couldn't do things like not working for a salary.

"It will definitely not delay your development of electric motors. Professor Liebig will definitely understand what the young master ordered."

Lin Mo continued to bewitch: "Besides, the professor cherishes your talent, and a little salary is not in his eyes. Doctor, if you feel guilty, you can help the professor even more after you finish developing the motor. Isn’t it? This time, to put it bluntly, it is to use the power of Professor Li Bixi to help you improve your working environment in the Kunpeng Research Institute. Is it possible that you still want to keep drawing until your hand breaks? Or keep avoiding, Fleeing to the young master to blame?"

"Okay, Lin, let's find Professor Li Bixie, hey, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Tesla has finally made up its mind to name itself in the Meihao series.

yeah! 500 yuan in hand!

Lin Mo clenched his fists in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, leave it on me, doctor, you can sleep peacefully tonight!"

The next day, under Lin Mo's "management", everything went smoothly. After a trip to the information department, there was an extra "beaker" pattern engraved on the back of Tesla's ID card.

On the third day, Tesla finally didn't need to draw pictures. The Kunpeng Research Institute transferred him to the ship power research group and served as the deputy group leader of the special project of electric motor research.

Who is the team leader?

It was Zheng Tingxiang who was not in Qianji City at this time.

So far, the matter of Little Liebig's 'wooing' Tesla has come to an end, and the three parties are very satisfied.

Little Libig got the qualification to participate in Tesla's "future credit", all he paid was a visiting researcher position, and a meager salary, oh, and $600; (to be continued
