Chapter 733 Oppenheimer

After the two little guys were crowned, Arthur was not in a hurry to leave the United States. Instead, he arranged the political affairs of the two new kingdoms while visiting the country that was about to become the world's hegemon in history.

To be honest, when he first came to this world, Arthur never thought that one day he would be able to eliminate this country known as the world's police.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States' economy and industry were already very strong, powerful enough to compete with the world's hegemon, Britain.

The Australia controlled by Arthur at that time was a colonial country with a population of only 4 million and an economy that was still insufficient compared to Europe and the United States.

If it were not for the support of Queen Victoria, Arthur would not have been able to gain such high power as soon as he came to Australia, let alone lead the country to the current point.

The history of the world is written by the winner. No matter how powerful the United States was in its original history, the current United States has become multiple small countries.

As one of the actual occupiers of the United States, Australasia certainly has the right to deal with American heritage.

Hollywood, which was famous in later history, is now only less famous than the World Studios established in Australasia.

Of course, after the occupation of Los Angeles, a considerable part of Hollywood facilities and many film companies had been forcibly relocated to World Studios in Australasia.

In fact, this is inevitable. Even if they don't relocate, the development of Hollywood will definitely not be as smooth as it was historically.

The Kingdom of California, where Los Angeles is located, obviously cannot support the development of a huge movie theater.

Therefore, those film companies are also very proactive when relocating. After all, only by traveling to the larger Australasia can their film company have a chance to make a comeback.

In addition to arranging government affairs for the two kingdoms, Australasian officials also have a task, which is to inspect American universities in the two regions, select more suitable and powerful universities, and establish branch campuses in Australasia.

At the same time, we will absorb a large number of talents located in the United States and transfer them to Australasia as much as possible to strengthen the talent pool in Australasia.

Although there are many talents in the United States, there are not many talents who can alarm Arthur. However, many officials worked hard in the United States for a period of time and reported to Arthur several times.

The first person who alarmed Arthur was the famous American physicist Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the American atomic bomb, the main leader of the Manhattan Project.

Speaking of the process of building nuclear weapons in the United States in history, many people may be impressed by Einstein.

But in fact, the main leader of the Manhattan Project in the United States to study the atomic bomb was Oppenheimer.

Although this does not mean that Einstein's contribution to the atomic bomb is weaker than that of Oppenheimer, it will be helpful to Arthur and the nuclear weapons industry in Australasia to be able to harvest such a talent. .

If Oppenheimer can cooperate with Einstein as he did historically, then the progress of developing nuclear weapons in Australasia will be much faster.

Arthur couldn't predict what kind of sparks the collaboration between two top physics experts would create. But for nuclear weapons development in Australasia, it was like a shot of adrenaline.

It sounds like a coincidence. This famous physicist in American history was teaching at the University of California, Berkeley.

Unfortunately, due to his infection with tuberculosis, Oppenheimer could only stay in his hometown to recuperate, which also prevented Oppenheimer from traveling to other countries.

Although Oppenheimer is not as famous as he was in history, his current resume is already very brilliant and he can be regarded as an extremely outstanding talent.

As a genius known to everyone since he was a child, Oppenheimer basically skipped grades throughout his academic career.

After entering the Chemistry Department of Harvard University in 1921, Oppenheimer's talent in physics and chemistry was already demonstrated.

As an undergraduate, Oppenheimer was accepted into the Undergraduate Honor Society and earned graduate qualifications in physics on the basis of independent study.

Such qualifications are not easy to obtain, let alone at Harvard University, where there are many talented people.

After graduating from Harvard University as an honorary student in advance, Oppenheimer went to the University of Cambridge in England, the University of Göttingen in Germany, the University of Zurich in Switzerland, and the University of Leiden in the Netherlands for further studies, and successfully apprenticed under the famous physicist Joseph John ·Thomson.

Putting aside Oppenheimer's achievements in history, his current luxurious resume is enough for Arthur to take seriously.

A talent who has studied in many famous universities in Europe, his ability is beyond doubt.

If he had no talent in physics, it would be impossible for so many universities to agree to let him study further, and it would be impossible for him to gain the favor of many European physics experts.

Because Oppenheimer was suffering from tuberculosis, Arthur had no idea of ​​meeting him.

However, Arthur still asked someone to find Oppenheimer in person and offered him a very generous offer, no less than Einstein's terms.

Honorary Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Australasia, Vice-President of the School of Physics of the Royal Academy of Sciences, an annual salary of 200,000 Australian dollars, an annual research fund of more than 2 million Australian dollars, the ability to set up his own physics laboratory, etc., is what Arthur gave Oppenheimer Conditions issued.

Such conditions are absolutely generous and cannot even be offered by most countries in the world.

For Oppenheimer, who is only 25 years old, such conditions are indeed very attractive.

In addition to these conditions, Arthur also promised to allow Oppenheimer to take his family to Australasia and provide them with accommodation at St. Arthur's Castle.

In addition, Oppenheimer will also be asked to participate in an extremely important research project, and the people who collaborate with Oppenheimer are the world's top physicists and so on.

Young people definitely like challenges, which made Oppenheimer quickly agree to Arthur's conditions and his willingness to go to Australasia to recuperate.

Seeing that Oppenheimer was so decisive, Arthur was also very happy and said that Oppenheimer would distribute his salary as usual while he was recovering from illness.

An annual salary of 200,000 yuan is just water for Arthur, but if he can get a top physicist, he will definitely make money.

With the joint efforts of Oppenheimer and Einstein, Arthur believed that the progress of nuclear weapons research would be accelerated by a big step, and certain results should even be achieved within a few years.

In addition to Oppenheimer, Australasia also found a wealth of American talent in California, including many world-renowned experts.

These talents include physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology, and largely fill the top talent gap in Australasia.

Of course, Arthur also understood that California had only a fraction of the talent available in the United States.

There are also many famous universities in the eastern United States, including the famous MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

These talents are currently under the control of the United Kingdom. If some of them can be attracted to Australasia, it will be a good advancement for the development of Australasia.

More importantly, snatching talent that the UK has not yet discovered will reduce the UK's talent pool.

Among these talents are experts who have made outstanding contributions in nuclear weapons and other weapons. If these experts can be allowed to go to Australasia, it will be equivalent to weakening the British in disguise.

At the same time, we have to admit that Americans’ previous talent policies have indeed attracted many talents.

Everyone knows that the Manhattan Project was a plan developed by the United States to develop the atomic bomb, but many people do not know that most of the participants in the Manhattan Project were born in Europe and other regions.

In history, it was precisely because of recruiting these talents that the United States was able to take the lead in the development of atomic bombs, which also affected the results of World War II.

If Germany had taken the lead in developing nuclear weapons, the outcome of World War II would have changed in history.

After all, nuclear weapons are strategic weapons with huge destructive power. In addition to fearing the casualties and destruction caused by them, people are actually more afraid of the feeling of being threatened at all times.

Compared with death, people are more afraid of the moment before death. The tense feeling of imminent death is what makes a person collapse the most.

If it were not for the help of the Victoria Award, I am afraid that Australasia would be a big step behind the United States in terms of talent pool.

This also proves the truth that in addition to relying on the Victoria Award to attract talents, Australasia should also pay more attention to attracting foreign talents.

Winning over foreign talents can not only increase one's own strength, but also weaken the enemy's talent pool in disguised form. The gap created by increasing and decreasing will only become larger.

Of course, our own domestic talent cultivation strategy cannot be left behind. Although it is good to poach employees from other countries, there are still some scientists who have a relatively strong sense of patriotism.

Only through a two-pronged approach of recruiting and cultivating can we ensure that we have the greatest number and quality of scientists.

As long as you have enough talent reserves, you don't have to worry about falling behind in any industry. Just like today's nuclear weapons, there was no concept of nuclear weapons in 1929 in history, but now Australasia is almost finished developing them.

If it were not for the nearly a thousand outstanding scientists at hand, the progress of research and development of various technologies in Australasia would be much slower.

The result of this will not only affect the speed of the country's development, but also affect Arthur's layout of the world situation. It will be impossible for Australasia to develop so quickly.

Technology is still very important in promoting human life. The development of Australasia is also inseparable from the efforts of these scientists.

All Arthur can do is try his best to ensure the research needs of these scientists, so that they can have sufficient energy to devote to their own research and make sufficient contributions to Australasia.
