Chapter 80 Scientists and Awards (Please subscribe!)

On April 7, 1901, after Crown Prince William was sent away, various aid supplies were also transported to where needed.

One billion marks of funds were transported to the Treasury for safekeeping. Although all German aid funds are in German marks, since many things will be purchased from Germany in the future, this foreign exchange will also be used.

A team of industrial experts traveled directly to industrial areas in Western Australia. I have to admire their meticulous work attitude. Even if Arthur tried to persuade them to stay in Sydney for two more days, the experts still refused with the words that work was important.

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

The production line of Gew98 rifles and a series of artillery pieces were shipped to Arthur's arsenal. Because these are aids to the Australian government, the military factory needs to invest two million pounds to rent these production lines, and after thoroughly mastering these technologies, build a new production line and return it to the Australian government.

Although it requires an investment of two 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 the military factory. After all, the technology contained in these production lines cannot be purchased with two million pounds under normal circumstances.

Even if a large amount of money is spent, it will require a lot of research time and talent to study it.

The most important blueprints of the Braunschweig-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 this drawing and information, strive to master it as soon as possible, and produce the battleship according to the drawing.

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 time.

Arthur is fully prepared for this. As long as he completely masters the technology of building battleships within five years, he will be successful.

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

In order to gain the favor of these German experts, Arthur prepared a small independent villa for each of them in Sydney, and gave each of them a monthly subsidy of at least 500 pounds on the basis of their original salary.

This can be regarded as fulfilling the original promise in Berlin, not only paying all the wages of these people, but also covering all their expenses in Australia.

Of course, it was 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 just the money paid.

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

April 11, Arthur's estate.

When all walks of life began to develop rapidly due to German aid, Butler Hunter also brought good news to Arthur.

It has been a month and a half since the last time Arthur asked Butler Hunter to send people to Europe and the United States to search for talents. Butler Hunter also acted very quickly. He has already begun to search for frustrated scientists in Europe, and has already established a certain Progress.

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

"Your Highness, I have successfully sent personnel to Europe, and based on more than a week of investigation, I have come to a very good news for Australia, that is, talents like Benz and Diesel are not available in Europe. There are few, and many of them are in debt and lack funds. According to our people's investigation, 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, we may not be able to let them Come to Australia." Butler Hunter said without hesitation.

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

Because European countries generally attach great importance to education, a large number of talents and scientists were born in Europe during this period, and they also made considerable 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 every scientist can be provided with sufficient research funds and opportunities.

This has also resulted in a large number of scientists in Europe having to terminate their research due to various reasons. Except for some talents who were lucky enough to be discovered by capitalists, others either sold off their property and invested in scientific research, or they could only live in depression for the rest of their lives. .

Such talents are very common in Europe, not because of their poor ability, but because they lack support and look lackluster in such a fiercely competitive environment in Europe.

But for Australia, these talents are the backbone that Australia lacks. There are even many talents who can become the founders and guides of various industries in Australia.

Australia only needs to pay a certain amount of money to attract these talents, and it will be able to obtain the effectiveness of a large number of talents and scientists. It is definitely a sure-profit deal.

"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 the better for Australia, Hunter Butler, I allow you to allocate 20 million pounds of funds to dig out such talents in Europe and America. No matter what industry it is, as long as you are sure that you are capable, you can recruit them."

"Your Highness, I think we should improve Australia's status in the hearts of all scientific researchers. As long as we make Australia a holy place in the minds of these scientists, we won't have to worry about no scientists coming." Butler Hunter said tentatively.

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

If Butler Hunter can say this, he naturally has some ideas and plans in his mind.

Arthur was interested. If it can really improve Australia's status in the minds of scientists, it will be much better than spending hard work to win it over.

"There are a lot of scientists in Europe who are short of funds, 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, and the winners can get enough research funds and reputation, and Australia can do it for free Provide him with a research site and support his research projects. In this way, after a long period of development, he may not be unable to gain the attention of those scientists." Butler Hunter suggested with a smile.
