Rise of Australia

Chapter 218 Albert Einstein
With the conclusion of the 1906 Annual Government Report Conference, the time has come to 1907.

After entering the new year, the frequency of the Royal Government's promulgation of decrees has also accelerated a lot, promulgating many effective decrees, such as the "Birth Encouragement Law" that can greatly increase the local population.

According to this law, as long as you have the legal citizenship of the Kingdom of Australasia, on the basis of giving birth to one child, you can immediately receive a reward of [-] Australian dollars for each additional child, and you can receive parenting subsidies from the government every year Twenty Australian dollars.

This fund will be received until the child turns six, and then it will be converted into a lower-level reduction for tuition and fees.

If a family can have more than five children, the mother of the child will be awarded the title of hero mother. Not only can it be featured in the newspapers of Australasia, but all children will also get priority access to schools and even universities.

Even when applying for scholarships and bursaries, there will be preferential treatment. It can be said that there are a large number of welfare policies from birth to university graduation, which greatly reduces the pressure on Australasians to raise their offspring.

The policy was welcomed by many Australasians.After all, Australasia's geographical location determines that it is not in the center of the world, and various crises and wars around the world have basically nothing to do with Australasians.

In addition to some melons and current affairs news in the newspapers ordered every day, the only leisure entertainment for Australasians every day is to make people.

After the government solves their worries about raising their offspring, Australasians can create humans with confidence, and even receive a lot of rewards.

Many families have decided to be the first to win the title of hero mother. Whether it is the benefits brought by this policy, or the funds and benefits that can be obtained for each offspring, they are all exciting.

At the same time, various transport fleets in Australasia have also moved, including cruise ships and escort fleets, which frequently travel between Europe and Australia to transport more immigrants to Australasia.

With the establishment of the Kingdom of Australasia, Australia has gradually entered the range of choices for European immigrants.

Of course, this does not mean that no one chose to emigrate to Australia before, but in the eyes of Europeans at that time, emigrating to the Americas was the mainstream.

The Americas have extensive land and a developed economy, and their languages ​​are not too different. They can be well integrated into the life of the Americas.

But now, Australia has characteristics similar to America.Although Australia's economy is not so developed, the economy and various quality of life are also growing steadily.

More importantly, Australia is not troubled by any wars, and King Arthur of Australasia is also closer to Europeans in blood.

Under the influence of various factors, Australasia has become the place of choice for immigrants after the Americas, and more and more Europeans want to immigrate to Australia.

If nothing else, the population growth in Australasia in 1907 will be the largest in recent years. As long as there is no war in Australia, the scale of immigration will continue to grow.

A strong source of immigration, coupled with a large number of domestic policies to encourage births, gave Arthur and the Australasian government the hope of expanding the population to tens of millions.

Before the population reaches hundreds of millions, such a population growth rate is what everyone is happy to see.

Since the establishment of the federation, exchanges between Australia and New Zealand have become more frequent.

It became more frequent after the kingdom was established, and even a one or two-day voyage between the two regions could not prevent this kind of economic closeness.

This has also contributed to the growth of the shipbuilding industry in Australasia to a certain extent.Since this time, more and more people have taken loans from the royal bank to start small private shipyards.

Most of the boats they built were very small fishing boats or sailing boats, which were used for daily work and travel for people.

Australasia also has a well-developed fishing industry because all the land is composed of large and small islands and peninsulas.

Like the famous Australian lobster, Australian abalone, blue flag tuna and yellowtail, which are famous in later generations, they are produced in all major regions of Australasia.

Especially in the southern part of the Australian mainland and around Tasmania, there are a large number of natural fishing grounds, and the aquatic products of Australasian people are also one of the characteristics.

These rich fishing grounds and aquatic products have supported a large number of fishermen and practitioners in the Kingdom of Australasia.

This also allows many people to see business opportunities.At present, the shipbuilding industry in Australasia is underdeveloped. Although top battleships and dreadnoughts can be built, there are not many shipyards that build small civilian ships, and the supply of various small fishing boats and ships is even in short supply.

For these loan application requirements, as long as the basic qualifications and conditions are no problem, you can easily apply for a loan.

Of course, the amount of loans they can apply for is basically in balance with the amount of assets they can mortgage.

Arthur is not worried about the matter of running away with money. First, there are mortgaged assets as compensation. Second, the Australian dollar is currently only in circulation in the Australasian region. If you take the Australian dollar to other countries, can you escape? Leaving aside the supervision of intelligence agencies and public security agencies, whether other countries recognize the Australian dollar is the same thing.

Moreover, individuals who can apply for a loan must have lived in Australasia for more than ten years and must have legal citizenship of Australasia.

It is not easy for people with real ulterior motives to obtain loans under the screening of multiple conditions.

In January 1907, Arthur attended the Victoria Awards ceremony as usual.

This annual international award has attracted at least a dozen top international talents to Australasia, and it is still in progress.

Arthur was a little surprised by the name of this year's winner of the Victorian Physics Prize, and immediately decided to win him into the embrace of Australasia.

Albert Einstein, this is a well-known figure in later generations.

Einstein's achievements in physics are enough to make him one of the greatest scientists of the entire 20th century.

The current Einstein is still very young. Born in 1879, Einstein is only less than 27 years old. He has just received a doctorate in physics from the University of Zurich.

It is precisely because the photon hypothesis proposed by Einstein successfully explained the cause of the photoelectric effect that he successfully won the Victorian Physics Prize in 1906.

In fact, Arthur still hesitated when he first saw Einstein's name.

According to Einstein's life trajectory and life experience, he was first a pacifist and humanitarian, and then became a democratic socialist.

Einstein was once refused to immigrate to the United States on refugee terms, because Einstein believed in and advocated and promoted anarchism, and was also accused of being a participant and supporter of a certain socialist movement from 1937 to 1954.

Coupled with the fact that he was still a Jew, Einstein also supported Zionism and supported the Jewish settlement in the ancient land of Judaism, that is, Jerusalem.

Facing such a top scientist who seemed extremely difficult to control, Arthur was also worried about whether the win over Einstein would have a certain impact and fluctuation on the political environment in Australasia.

But after thinking about it, Arthur still decided to win him over.First of all, Einstein's ability and knowledge are definitely one of the top scientists in the world today. Since such a talent has appeared, it is naturally impossible for Arthur to let him go.

Regardless of whether Einstein's political views are in line with the political situation in Australasia, Einstein is still very young now, and what he expresses and supports is only pacifism and humanitarianism.

There is no war in Australasia now, and Arthur is also very keen on helping the bottom population of the country.

Isn't this the simplest pacifism and humanitarianism?

At least for a short period of time, it is something Arthur can do to keep this top scientist in Australasia and let him make more contributions to Australasian scientific research.

As for the future, Arthur is definitely not a kind person.If such a top scientist cannot be mastered by Australasia, then Einstein can only be invited to see the beautiful water world under the sea.

On the day of the Victoria Award ceremony, Arthur invited all the award-winning scientists and talents to a small celebration banquet.

At this banquet, Arthur launched a unified invitation to all talents, inviting them to carry out scientific research and technical work for Australasia, and Australasia will bring them more advanced laboratories and more research funds.

No one expressed any objection, at most they just said that they need to think more.

In fact, they are not stupid. To offend Arthur on Arthur's territory, isn't this just lighting a lantern in the toilet?

Of course, Arthur's key target of wooing was Einstein.On the second day after the banquet, Arthur invited Einstein to the National University of Australasia and invited him to visit the various laboratories of the National University.

The National University was the first university established by Arthur, and its construction standards and goals at that time were also world-class.

This has also led to many laboratories in the National University being the top in the world today. For this, Arthur and the government have also paid a price of millions of Australian dollars.

After visiting all of this, Arthur cut to the chase and invited Einstein to become an honorary professor of the Physics Department of the Australasian National University. All research laboratories of the National University can be opened to Einstein, and he can receive a sum of at least 20 a year. Research funding in Australian dollars.

At the same time, Arthur also stated that he would form the Royal Australasian Association for Physical Research and invite Einstein to become the first president of the Association for Physical Research to conduct academic research in Australasia.
