Rise of Australia

Chapter 80 Scientists and Awards (please subscribe!)
On April 1901, 4, after sending away Crown Prince William, various aid materials were also delivered to where they were needed.

Funds of one billion marks were sent to the treasury for safekeeping.Although all the aid funds from Germany are all in Deutsche Mark, but because there will be many things to be purchased from Germany in the future, this foreign exchange can also be used.

The team of industrial experts went directly to the industrial areas of Western Australia.I have to admire their meticulous work attitude, even though Arthur tried to keep them to stay in Sydney for two more days, they were still rejected by the experts with words of important work.

Compared with the experts of the future, these industrial experts from Germany are like model workers.

Production lines for the Gew 98 rifle and a range of artillery were shipped to Arthur's munitions factory.Because these are aids to the Australian government, the military factory needs to invest 200 million pounds to rent these production lines, and build a new production line to return to the Australian government after fully mastering these technologies.

Although it requires an investment of 200 million pounds, and after mastering the technology, a new production line will be built and returned to the Australian government.

But it is still profitable for military factories.After all, the technology contained in these production lines is definitely not something that can be exchanged for 200 million pounds under normal circumstances.

Even if a lot of money is spent, it will take a lot of research time and talents to research it.

The most important drawings and documents of the Brunswick-class battleship were transported to Arthur's shipyard for protection.

The Australian government will work with Arthur's shipyard to form a professional team of experts to study the blueprint, strive to master it as soon as possible, and produce the battleship according to the blueprint.

Even with the technical assistance of the British and German navies, it is impossible to have the ability to independently build battleships without a few years of research.

Arthur has already made full preparations for this, as long as he fully masters the technology of building battleships within five years, he will be considered a success.

Fortunately, several of the industrial expert team dispatched by Germany are experts in shipbuilding. They stayed at the shipyard in Sydney Harbor and will also become mentors for the Australian expert team.

In order to win the favor of these German experts, Arthur prepared a small detached villa for each of them in Sydney, and gave each of them a monthly subsidy of at least [-] pounds on top of their original salary.

This can be regarded as the fulfillment of the original promise in Berlin, not only to pay all the salaries of these people, but also to bear all their expenses in Australia.

Of course, it's all worth it, otherwise Arthur wouldn't have done it.The changes and benefits that these expert teams can bring to Australia are definitely more than the simple amount of money paid.

Naturally, there are as many experts as there are, even if each person spends a huge amount of money every year.

Arthur's Manor, April 4.

At a time when all walks of life began to develop rapidly due to Germany's aid, Butler Hunter also brought good news to Arthur.

It has been a month and a half since Arthur asked Butler Hunter to send people to Europe and the United States to find talents. Butler Hunter also acted very quickly. Progress.

"Butler Hunter, tell me, what is the good news?" Arthur sat down and said to Butler Hunter with a smile.

"Your Highness, I have successfully sent people to Europe, and based on more than a week of investigations, I have come to a very good news for Australia, that is, talents like Benz and Diesel are not in Europe. and many of them are in a state of debt and lack of funds. According to the survey of our people, a large part of these people are the kind of scientific research lunatics. As long as we are willing to provide them with sufficient research funds and venues, it may not be impossible for them to Come to Australia." Butler Hunter didn't make any secrets, and said in a nutshell.

Through the exploitation of colonies, Europe has built a prosperous industrial and economic system, and it is the brightest pearl and the most developed and prosperous region in the world.

Because European countries generally attach importance to education, a large number of talents and scientists were born in Europe during this period, and they also made great contributions to the rise of Europe.

But funding and resources are always limited.Even if European countries are very prosperous and developed, there is no guarantee that they will provide sufficient research funds and opportunities for every scientist.

This has also led to a large number of scientists in Europe having to terminate their own research due to various reasons. Except for some talents who were lucky enough to be discovered by capitalists, others either sold their property and invested in scientific research, or they could only be depressed for life .

Such talents are very common in Europe, not because of their poor ability, but because of their lack of support, they appear bleak in such a highly competitive environment in Europe.

But for Australia, these talents are the mainstay that Australia lacks.There are even quite a few talents who can become the founders and guides of various industries in Australia.

Australia only needs to pay a certain amount of funds to attract these talents, and it can obtain the effectiveness of a large number of talents and scientists, which is definitely a profitable business.

"If it is determined that these people are really capable, then what's the problem with paying some money to let them come to Australia?" Arthur said with a smile: "The more such talents are for Australia, the better, Hunter Butler, I allow you to allocate 2000 million pounds of funds to dig out such talents in Europe and America. No matter what industry field, as long as you are sure you are capable, you can recruit them."

"Your Highness, I think we should improve the status of Australia in the hearts of all scientific researchers. As long as Australia is made a holy place in the minds of these scientists, there will be no worries about no scientists coming." Hunter Butler said tentatively.

"Oh? How to improve?" Arthur smelled with a little interest.

Butler Hunter can say that, so he naturally has some ideas and plans in his heart.

Arthur was very interested in this.If it can really improve Australia's status in the hearts of scientists, it will be much better than spending money so hard to win them over.

"There are a lot of unfunded scientists in Europe, so why don't we set up awards for scientific research? We invite scientists from all over the world to participate in our award selection. Those who win can get enough research funds and prestige, and Australia can free Provide him with a research site and support his research projects. In this way, after a long period of development, it may not be impossible to gain the attention of those scientists." Butler Hunter suggested with a smile.
