April 2027, Liangguo Rocket City
Professor Braun temporarily converted his aerospace observation room into a classroom. He stood beside the electronic screen and pushed a large blackboard behind him for handwriting.
Braun had only one student: David Halsey.
"David, Tesla's theory is nearly a hundred years old. The so-called T plan was started in 1953 and was personally led by Archon Al."
"The plan is based on the highly confidential Tesla theory and is still ongoing today. Plan T involves astronomy, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, unified field disciplines, as well as aerospace, military, communications, electricity, earthquake prediction, and disaster reduction and many other fields." Professor Braun said academically.
"My mission is to find out the Yuhan people's plan. Time is tight. Can you give me the key points briefly and in layman's terms?"
David said humbly.
"Well, I also think I should condense it for you. The metronome is an important clue. Today, I will start with the story of the metronome." Braun explained while showing the pictures, taking David back to the eighth century more than ten years ago.
In July 1941, Liangguo Nidu
Nikola Tesla just celebrated his 85th birthday in the Nido Hotel. His silver hair was sparse, he was thin and old, and his eyes were cloudy and dry from years of overloaded work.
But his gaze is still deep and sharp, as if he can penetrate all appearances and reach the origin of things.
Tesla had three sisters, all living in Qiannan. One of the sisters’ daughter Monica married a Liangguo officer named Tal.
After the end of World War I, the couple moved to Rocket City, Sazhou, China.
Monica Tarr gave birth to two boys in 1919 and 1922 respectively, her brother named Frank Tarr and her younger brother named Tom Tarr.
The brothers were supposed to call Tesla their uncle, but they used to call him Grandpa Nikolai.
In the afternoon, the two brothers came to Grandpa Nikolai’s residence, Room 3327, Niduren Hotel.
Tom was dressed in student clothes and had a canvas schoolbag slung across his body.
Brother Frank was wearing a navy uniform shirt, an almost off-white light blue color, and a white sailor cap on his head.
"Dear children, sit down quickly. Look, look, our little Frank has joined the glorious navy!"
Tesla smiled and held the hands of his two grandsons and said.
"Yes, I joined the army last year and served as a sailor on the heavy cruiser Rocket City. I returned to China for a short vacation."
After Tom sat down, he opened his schoolbag, took out a wool vest, handed it to Tesla, and said:
"This is a woolen vest that my grandma knitted for you. She said it was a birthday gift for you to remind you to keep warm in autumn and winter."
Tesla unfolded his vest and saw a large pattern embroidered on the chest. It was a Gusler, a traditional musical instrument in southern China.
Tesla said: "When I was a teenager, I made three gussels with my own hands and gave them to my three sisters. Later, only your grandma took them and learned to play them. I took the other two to Liangguo. .”
Grandpa Nicholas said, pointing to an old suitcase in the corner.
Frank thought to himself that the two "ancient" guslers should be inside the suitcase.
"My grandma embroidered the pattern of this piano? Is there any special meaning?" Tom asked.
"The Gusler is a single-stringed instrument that can be found everywhere in Gannan. But when I was a child, I liked to think wildly, but your grandma just liked to believe in his brother. When I gave her the piano, I told her seriously that maybe this string could be used Uncover the secrets of the entire universe. Haha!" Grandpa Nikolai said with a happy laugh.
"My grandma may actually believe it. It's hard to imagine how much she trusts and admires you. It turns out that you are indeed a great scientist!" Frank looked at Tesla with admiration and said.
Tesla shook his head bitterly and said as if to himself: "We are still far from uncovering the secrets of the universe. They have not allowed me to publish papers and give public speeches since 1936."
"Why? Who are they? What are they afraid of?" Tom said angrily.
"Then you can write down all your theories and leave them for future generations to publish and study!" Frank also followed suit.
"It's useless to write it down. They won't allow my written words to be circulated while I'm alive. I don't have much time left. After my death, they will seal all the written materials and keep them secret forever!" Tes Ra said.
The old man was suddenly startled, as if inspired, and his eyes fell on the old suitcase containing two Gusler pianos.
The children were silent.
Tesla stood up, bent down and pulled out a large cardboard box from under the bed, and placed it on the coffee table in front of the brothers.
Tesla made a face and said like a child: "But they forgot that I am not only a scientist, I am also an engineer with great hands-on ability."
The two children's worries turned into joy. Like magic, Grandpa Nicholas took out two identical all-metal metronomes from the box and handed them to them one by one.
The metronome scale ranges from 30 to 470, with 30, 60, 240, 245 and 470 being bold and lengthened respectively as a reminder.
Obviously, these five scales are different from other scales, as if to imply that they contain special meanings.
Frank held the metronome carefully and observed, and asked: "You mean this metronome can carry and express your theory? Then how do we use it? Who should we show it to?"
"Frank, don't be nervous. The noise on the warship is loud and the surge can make people dizzy and difficult to sleep. Before you go to bed, you can adjust the pointer to 60BPM and listen for ten minutes. The frequency of 60 times per minute is consistent with the brain waves of the human body in deep sleep. The frequency is the same, which helps you sleep well." Tesla went on to say:
"As for the secret of this metronome, you don't have to study it, and you may not be able to understand it. Leave it to those who are destined to do it! If any researchers ask about it in the future, you should tell them the truth." Tesla raised his voice and said loudly:
"The metronome was made by Nikola Tesla himself. Tesla claimed that these frequencies contain the codes of the earth, the sun and even the entire universe!"
In March 1942, the Brown Oak National Football Team was defeated.
Another bomb exploded on the rear deck of the heavy cruiser Rocket City. During yesterday's naval battle, a fire broke out around the 8-inch 203mm rear main battery turret that had been muted.
The observation post ran up to Jian Bridge and shouted to Captain Lu:
"The Oceania cruiser Osi has been sunk! We are the only warship left. At least two Ascension cruisers and five destroyers are chasing us."
Captain Lu straightened his cap and loudly issued an order: "Turn around, heading 35, speed 24 knots."
Captain Lu then shouted: "Boys, we don't plan to go back. We are facing the enemy and fighting them!"
The Rocket City's naval guns of various calibers fired a salvo, and even the anti-aircraft machine guns sprayed flames and fired flatly, and the few remaining torpedoes were also fired at the enemy formation.
The artillery shells of the Fusheng warship poured down, and many places on the deck were hit.
Suddenly, the Fusheng Kingdom entered actual combat for the first time. A spear torpedo propelled by liquid oxygen hit the starboard side of the Rocket City. A large amount of seawater poured in and the hull began to tilt.
Frank Tarr was repairing a malfunctioning fire motor in the power distribution room below the deck, and huge explosions kept ringing in his ears.
Two more torpedoes hit the warship, the engine room was flooded, and the hull tilted severely. Captain Lu was hit by shrapnel and died, and the vice-captain announced in pain that he abandoned the ship.
However, it was too late. Among the more than 1,600 crew members, at least two-thirds of the officers and soldiers from the captain on down sank with the ship.
Frank Tarr and his beloved metronome lay quietly underwater in the shallows of the foot concave sea.
David was hearing the key point when he noticed that the professor had stopped to drink water and asked hurriedly: "Is the metronome in our hands Frank's or Tom's?"
"Didn't you notice that the metronome you found is rusty?" Professor Braun reminded.
"Oh, it turns out that it was corroded by being soaked in sea water for many years." David suddenly understood, but immediately became worried again and said:
"How is this possible? The Yuhan people fished it out from the bottom of the sea?"
