The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 384: Chapter 329: Expanding the Shipyard

In Mia's hopeful gaze, Tesla saw her anticipation and longing. After a slight hesitation, he finally agreed to Arthur's request.

Seeing that Tesla had finally agreed to stay and work in Australasia, Arthur nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Mr. Tesla, welcome to the big family of Australasia. The Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association has many top experts like you, I believe you should have plenty of common topics of interest."

The establishment of the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association was to provide a good research environment for the top physical and chemical talents lured from Europe and America.

As of now, the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association has more than a hundred members, all of whom are well-known experts in physical chemistry in Europe and America.

These experts are Australasia's top talent reserve in physical chemistry.

The various research conducted by these people is of exceptional significance to Australasia.

This is why till today, the annual research funds of the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association exceed 3 million Australian dollars, with an average of nearly 30,000 Australian dollars per person.

30,000 Australian dollars is not a small figure. According to the exchange rate, this is equivalent to 15,000 pounds, or 75,000 US dollars.

In an era when the war had not started and the devaluation speed of various countries' currencies was not so rapid, the value of 15,000 pounds was equivalent to two kilograms or precisely four pounds of gold.

Of course, there is a difference in the research funds of each member of the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association.

Talents as renowned as Albert Einstein and Tesla naturally enjoy a higher proportion of research funds.

Of course, most of the time, these talents' research funds are provided additionally by Arthur and are not included in the total research funds of the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association.

The Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association has now established cooperation with several universities within Australasia, and many members of the research association have become honorary professors and lecturers at these universities.

Of course, as the president of the research association, an expert of Einstein's level directly became the honorary dean of the Physics Department of the Australasia National University.

These experts from the research association, while conducting their research, occasionally teach at the universities where they are attached, cultivating high-end talents for Australasia's future physical and chemical industry.

Currently, Australasia's talent cultivation system has basically matured, and talents in all fields have the ability to self-cultivate.

Whether it's the ubiquitous technical schools or universities specializing in mid-to-high-end talent, they have become very common in Australasia.

If ten years ago, in Australasia, a high school education was considered valuable, then for Australasia today, the truly valuable and highly valued talents are those students graduating from technical schools and universities.

Tesla nodded in agreement to join Australasia's Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association.

The association does contain many top talents from Europe and America, and Tesla was also very much looking forward to joining such a top academic association.

Finally, under the somewhat expectant eyes of Mia's family, Arthur promised that someone would pick them up the next day and after settling them down in the city of Sydney, they would find them good-paying jobs in places near where they live.

Of course, it is also essential to find a place for Tesla to live. Since Tesla has agreed to join Australasia, he naturally cannot be put up in a cheap hotel.

Fortunately, the scale of Sydney City is continually expanding, and vacant properties can be found everywhere.

Settling Tesla and Mia's family is no problem, and if they wish, they could move into a new house the next day.

After successfully winning over Tesla, Arthur was in a good mood, and he promptly rewarded Tesla and Mia's family each with 2,000 Australian dollars. They were to use the money to furnish and decorate their new houses after moving in within the next two days, and to start their new lives in earnest.

As for Tesla's other two sisters still in Serbia, Arthur promised that they would bring all of them to Australasia within two months, and they would also enjoy the benefits of Mia's family.

After returning to the palace, Arthur summoned Butler Kent and had him contact Chief David in Europe. David would be in charge of bringing Tesla's two other sisters' families over to Australasia.

The Balkan War had entered a state of peace due to the signing of a contract.

This was good news for Tesla's two sisters and their families, as Serbia in a peaceful state would allow them to easily come to Australasia.

Of course, even if Serbia were in a state of war, it would not be too difficult for Arthur to bring Tesla's two sisters and their families to Australasia.

After all, Arthur and the Russia Country have a marital relationship, and Russia Country is a supporter of the Balkan States.

Even considering the face of Russia Country, Serbia would absolutely not deduct from two ordinary common families.

After meeting with Butler Kent, Arthur learned that, with the support of the royal financial group and the government, Australasia's shipyard was about to undergo large-scale expansion.
