Chapter 764: Poaching

Sometimes we have to admit that talent is the biggest factor that determines a person's ability.

Although Szilard was only 34 years old, his ability was definitely not low in the Royal Academy of Sciences, and he was definitely one of the most capable physicists.

According to Einstein's report, after Szilard joined the research and development of nuclear weapons, his wild ideas created several solutions to previous problems, and indeed solved several problems that had troubled the project team for a long time.

Not only did it speed up the progress of nuclear weapons research and development, but it also gave the scientists in the research and development team more motivation.

Because of this, with Arthur's permission, Einstein gave Szilard more burdens.

After Szilard proved his ability to other scientists in the research and development project team, Szilard was appointed as the deputy leader of the nuclear weapons research and development project team, and the main research and development field was changed to the construction of nuclear reactors.

The reason why Arthur agreed to give Szilard such an important position was not only because he believed in his ability, but also because he hoped that he would be ahead of history and be able to conceive of the nuclear chain reaction earlier, and build the most basic nuclear reactor based on it.

With a nuclear reactor, it is equivalent to more than half of the research on nuclear weapons. Furthermore, as long as a nuclear reactor can be built, a nuclear power plant can be built based on it, which is also of great help to the laying of the power grid in Australasia.

Australasia is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large deserts in the central and western parts of Australia, which is a good place to build a nuclear reactor.

Especially when there are many small lakes in the desert, it can not only solve the cooling problem of the nuclear reactor, but also do not have to worry about the leakage of the nuclear reactor in special circumstances.

This is much better than building a nuclear reactor on the seashore. If it is built on the seashore, once the nuclear reactor leaks, a large amount of seawater will flow back into the nuclear reactor, which will produce a lot of nuclear sewage and nuclear waste water.

The treatment of these wastewaters is also a big problem, which will put a great financial burden on the country.

Of course, some countries do not have any quality and choose a method that everyone hates.

As a country with a wide ocean, Australasia, Arthur must certainly prevent such a situation from happening.

The best result is to prevent the possibility of building a nuclear reactor in this country forever. As for how to prevent it, either destroy this race or make this country never strong.

As a result of Szilard's accelerated development of nuclear weapons, Arthur also attached great importance to the physicists who originally participated in the Manhattan Project.

Since the United States can collect so many physicists, Arthur believes that Australasia can also.

Especially when chaos continues everywhere and Australasia tends to be stable, its attractiveness to immigrants from various countries is also increasing.

Most of the physicists in the Manhattan Project in the United States are immigrants from foreign countries, which also proves the attractiveness of the United States to immigrants at that time.

And now, Australasia has replaced the United States in immigration, which also means that Australasia also has the strength to become the United States.

What Arthur did not expect was that such a conjecture soon became a reality.

Because of Australasia's attractiveness in immigration, coupled with the Victoria Award's attraction to top talents, it is still no problem to attract some internationally renowned scientists every year.

Among the new batch of famous scientists who immigrated to Australasia, Arthur soon found people who participated in the Manhattan Project in history.

Enrico Fermi.

This is a physicist from Italy, and he was elected as a member of the Italian Royal Academy last year.

So the question is, why did Enrico Fermi abandon his title of member of the Royal Academy in Italy, give up his position as a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Rome, and immigrate to Australasia?

This has to mention the laws made by Italy. In anti-Jewish actions, people usually think of Germany's performance in World War II.

But in fact, as an ally of Germany in World War II in history, Italy has also been very strong in anti-Jewish actions, and even formulated quite strict laws for this.

Unfortunately, Enrico Fermi's wife is a Jew with a good family background, which is simply a direct target of Italy's anti-Jewish laws.

Although Enrico Fermi's title of member of the Royal Academy came from Mussolini, this small title could not protect Enrico Fermi's family in Italy's vigorous anti-Jewish actions.

It is precisely because of this that Enrico Fermi chose to go to Australasia at the invitation of Australasia.

Less than a month after Szilard arrived in Australasia, Arthur welcomed another top physics talent to join him.

For Australasia's nuclear program, this is simply good news that can't be better.

You know, Enrique Fermi's contribution to physics is no less than Szilard's, and he is also an important member of the construction of the first nuclear reactor.

In the research of statistical mechanics, quantum theory, nuclear physics, and particle physics, Enrique Fermi is definitely one of the best researchers in the world today.

For Arthur, there is another good news about Enrique Fermi's arrival, that is, there is hope to invite his teacher, the famous German Jewish theoretical physicist, Max Born, one of the founders of quantum mechanics.

In fact, the reason is still the same. Whether it is Italy or Germany, their political system types are similar at this time.

After Mussolini and Hitler took power, they began to act against the Jews quite tacitly.

And many of those famous physicists are Jewish. In other words, this is actually one of the real reasons why the United States was the first to develop the atomic bomb in history.

It was precisely because of the persecution of Jewish scientists by Germany and Italy that these scientists fled to the United States, which was far away from Europe and war.

Of course, because the United States had been dissolved, the country far away from Europe and war became Australasia.

Max Born was not only a German-Jewish physicist, he was also a leader in quantum mechanics, lattice dynamics, fluid dynamics, nonlinear dynamics and electromagnetic theory.

More importantly, getting Max Born not only means getting a physics leader, but also means getting many famous scientists who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.

As a leader in physics, Max Born's students can be said to be blooming everywhere. In addition to Enrico Fermi, who has come to Australasia, there are many talents still in Germany.

Many of these talents are also of Jewish descent, and they are also the targets of Arthur's wooing.

Thinking of this, Arthur's already very mature heart still had a few fluctuations. It can only be said that the relationship between European physicists is still relatively complex and close.

As long as he can pry a physics master, the relationship he can use may allow Australasia to have dozens of top scientists.

Coupled with Australasia's own talent pool and attractiveness, it may be able to achieve better results than the United States in history.

Thinking of this, Arthur also decided to act in advance to avoid being beaten by the British.

After Enrique Fermi arrived in Australasia, Arthur first organized a welcome banquet of the same scale as Szilard, and then summoned Enrique Fermi the next day and invited him to join the Royal Academy of Australasia.

Enrique Fermi was still a little flattered by Arthur's personal reception and invitation.

In Europe, Arthur is definitely a legendary figure. Although the Australian region was vast in area, it was a remote and barren area with only cattle, sheep and minerals in the eyes of the British.

This region, which may not even be as good as the European countryside, sat on the throne of the world's third power after Arthur's painstaking management for 30 years.

Arthur repeatedly emphasized the rights of the people, revised the labor law many times, and safeguarded the interests of the grassroots people, which made many European people have a high favorable impression of him.

Especially before Europe had completely implemented the eight-hour work system, Australasia had basically implemented the eight-hour work system, which also made many Europeans envy the Australasia people.

Enrique Fermi came from the Kingdom of Italy and had no rejection of the monarchy.

Of course, comparing the King of Italy with Arthur, Enrique Fermi instantly felt that there was still a big gap between people.

On the first day in Australasia, Enrique Fermi did not do nothing.

On the way from Sydney to Fort Saint-Arthur, Enrique Fermi observed the daily life of the Australasia people in detail and found the kind of bright smile that can't be seen on the faces of Italians now.

Speaking of which, Italy and Australasia are both dictatorships now. Even Arthur's autocratic power is much greater than Mussolini's.

But judging from the current situation of the two countries, the life happiness index of the people in Australasia is several times that of the Italians, which is the real situation that cannot be concealed by any language or text.

Don’t look at Mussolini’s many reforms in Italy and his ambitious expansion of the army to realize the revival of Italy.

But Mussolini never saw the Italian civilians. He cared about his dictatorial power and the number of troops in his hands.

But because of the influence of the Renaissance, the Italians are more literary and romantic.

Unlike the serious and rigid Germans, the cheerful and romantic Italians do not like war. They like a good life in a peaceful state.

Obviously, the current rulers of Italy are destroying this kind of life, which is why Enrico Fermi thinks that the life happiness index of Italians is not high.

More importantly, the military service policy implemented by Mussolini in Italy is compulsory conscription.

Regardless of whether the Italian people are willing to join the army and go to the battlefield, they can only be forced to become active or reserve soldiers in the army.

In this situation, the mood of the Italians can be imagined. In other words, the Italians really don't want to see war, and Mussolini has carried out a major purge of his opposition forces. Otherwise, it is unknown whether the Italians will rebel.

Based on these factors alone, it is destined that there is a huge gap between Italy and Australasia at present.

After really meeting Arthur, Enrique Fermi felt the real importance, not like Mussolini who had other intentions.

Although they both wanted Enrique Fermi to work for them, the degree of importance shown by both sides has already determined Enrique Fermi's next choice.
