Not quite Sergey.  I wasn't the actual creator of the underground telephone
lines themselves.  However I knew that the underground lines could best be
able to survive the EMP pulse from an atomic explosion.  And even way back
then that the solar flare/coronal explosions on the sun could be MUCH worse
on us humans even with the level of electrical technolgy we had back then
as well.  So my name is only a tiny minor part of what Tesla, Einstein had
all presented as what would grow upward into complexity as technology grew
up for 'us' as time and quantities of this and that became exposed to us
all.

I already knew about the Carrington Event of 1859 two years after 1857 when
the Golden Spike was driven where the railroad lines were merged into the
first rail line that went from the East Coast to the West Coast of the
whole USA.  When that solar flare from the Sun hit us, it burned up all the
telegraph sounders in the whole USA.  It killed three people sending Morse
Code and put 23 more in the hospital as best I know it.  And in ten places
in the whole USA where it arced from the railroad rails to the Earth over
the wood cross-ties, it SET THEM ON FIRE!  If we ever got another one like
that, all the power lines, the telephone systems above ground would be
destroyed.  And everything sensitive to electrical pulses in your home or
car would even be burned up.

Even at age 10 in 1949, as a boy growing up here confounded by all that was
a part of Texas A&M College where my Dad became a math professor in
1936, I was, say it a little better, 'dumb founded', grin!  Dad had taught
me that though Einstein was a child early on in Ulm, Germany, he had been
moved away to England.  And Ulm, Germany was the home of the highest church
steeple in the world.  It hadn't been finished when Einstein was moved to
England.  But when it was later on, Einstein went back to Ulm to get to
climb up the 651 foot steeple on stairs to the top and look out on the
world from it.  Dad taught me that when Einstein did so, as anyone could
do, at each window was higher up away from the Earth, since Earth was a
round ball, you could see further away the higher you climbed.  Which I was
taught, that when Einstein noticed that at each window he saw more and more
'spots' on the surface of the Earth that is exactly how he realized how to
handle math in multiple dimensions! Even at a tiny cost of climbing each
step upwards for the some 45 minutes it took an average person to climb to
the top of the cathedral.

At even ten years of age in 1949, when I had already been 'hooked' by one
of my unbelievably wonderful mentors from A&M, Dr, George Huebner who
was ham radio operator W5WQN, was coaching me to learn Morse Code.  As my
then whole family was hugely musically oriented.  I still have the old 78
RPM plastic records from my Erie, Pennsylvania Uncle Bill Schuster that had
the Morse Code lessons which I played on our record player to learn it. 
When I got my first ham radio license in very early 1952, the only thing I
was interested in at all was Morse Code.  And started the whole ham radio
stuff by building my own transmitters back then as even then I was allowed
in all the Aggie engineering labs poking my nose in everything.  My first
decent receiver was a Hallicrafters S-38 although I actually started using
a crystal set and winding my own coils.  I still have the whisker crystal I
used then!

I was fascinated with long distance contacts and was really only mostly
able to work DX at night in a little room out behind the garage when my
parents kicked me out of the house since I really LOVED 40 meter CW DX even
all night long at times,  Keeping them awake and - oh well!  I had already
discovered on my own that I could actually work places like Perth,
Australia from my ham shack on 40 meter CW really loud at sunrise time for
me an sunset time for a ham friend there!  We were so poor I had to even
mow the lawn of the Texas A&M professor for the Texas Aggie Band with a
push lawn mower during WWII for even a single US Dollar per mow job.  Just
for money to feed me food as well as help buy my pants and shirt back then.
 As well to even help get the 'money' to help me in ham radio, I got a job
as a paper boy throwing one of the Houston, Texas early morning newspapers
in our neighborhood on my bicycle at about 5:00AM in the morning.  My 807
tube CW transmitter for Morse Code had a WONDERFUL strong signal in the
total darkness before the sun came up in the morning!  I wondered how low
in power I could reduce my power to my Perth, Australia friend and he could
still hear me.  We tried that test.  I was SHOCKED!

I got down to ONE WATT output into my dipole antenna on 40 Meter CW and my
friend in Perth, Australia could still hear me!!  Then what Daddy had
taught me about Einstein hit me somehow in my head!  I had a four cell
flashlight that I used on my bike to deliver the newspapers there beside
me.  In the total dark moon night before the sun had come up, after I and
my friend had said '73' on Morse Code,  I took my flashlight outside into
the back yard. I pointed it up into the dark sky and turned it on.  I
looked up how far into the sky my adjusted long beam light could be seen! 
Not very far.  It hit me again and I almost collapsed onto the lawn!  WOW! 
If that's the distance that one watt of light beam goes, even given how far
anyone could see it at a maximum from far way and even my ONE WATT Morse
Code 40 meter Radio wave signal could be heard in Australia, half way
around the world..

   There has to be really something about the Heavans, a Power and
   Future Way bigger than all humans are really in control of.  Plus
   as things like radio, nuclear power, electical generators, fuel of
   all kinds, agricultural farms, airplanes, ammunition .. whatever.
   Especially that even though I am using only ONE WATT of power on
   my 40 meter CW station and thousands of miles everywher from me,,

         Even at the right time IF NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY ..

           Even a hundred thousand humans could hear a
                 needed message for survival.

                To survive being poked in the
                  side or rear and having things
                     stolen from them even.

And as I had learned even from before then from people of the many
different cultures and races of humans here around Texas A&M College.. 
My job and the real goal of all the human tribe is to put forward the most
possible options for ALL human beings.  So that all of us all the way into
the future can have the best opportunity in life.  It's OK to earn a
profit.  But you must not lie, cheat and steal from others or try to force
them, hurt them or kill them to take away their possible future.  There is
even more than the fourth dimension in life.  Look upward and around you. 
It's really true.
