Chapter 18: Gathered
"W-what is this?"
Looking at the letter in his hand, John suddenly felt a little crying and laughing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nobel Prize in Chemistry?
Where is this?
Since the birth of the Nobel Prize thirteen years ago, its influence has indeed grown, so if nothing else, this prize awarded by a small European country will surely become the world's top scientific prize step by step, just like the rest of the world, and then become the goal of scientists all over the world.
But......
John never imagined that he would win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry!
In the past ten years, John has won two awards, one of which is the physics prize, for his discovery of X-rays, radioactivity and electrons, the three major discoveries of physics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been mixed by him, and the award must be a matter of course; As for the medical awards, let alone relying on the achievements that John has already made, let alone a medical award, I am afraid that there are several more waiting for him in the future.
But this chemistry prize ......
"Tsk, that's a bit embarrassing."
Even though he never felt anything about plagiarism or something, when John saw that he had won the Nobel Prize for synthetic ammonia technology, he couldn't help but have a hot face and shook his head.
There is no doubt about the tremendous role of ammonia.
Not to mention that he freed countries from the constraints of guano and allowed them to produce explosives in large quantities, just to say that the important use of synthetic ammonia in the fertilizer industry can completely change the development of world agriculture, it is enough to win it a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
"Ashamed, ashamed!"
Shrugging his shoulders, John couldn't help but shake his head again.
John's research on ammonia synthesis was purely for economic gain, and he also proposed a plan, and the technology developed by his chemists is now attributed to him alone, and other scientists who really contributed to the research did not get it, which is really ......
"Huh, isn't that right?"
Suddenly, John's body shook, and the whole person was stunned.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry?
Coupled with the physics and medicine prizes that you have already won, haven't you won all the science and technology awards in the Nobel Prize?
"Uh...... It's a big deal! ”
Thinking that he had inadvertently created a miracle, and that it was a record that no one in the future would ever be able to break, John suddenly looked at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly again......
John? The news that Huntelaar had won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry certainly caused quite a stir. Because the award is presented to a small Nordic country with a weak strength, and the prize money is indeed quite high, the influence of the Nobel Prize has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, and many people think that in a few years it will even surpass the old awards made by the British. Therefore, the news that John won the chemistry prize made many people stunned - everyone knew that at this time, John had won all three awards!
John quickly tossed the matter aside.
Although John was a little ashamed to hold an award for a while, after being reborn for so many years, John had long been used to it, otherwise why did he accumulate such a huge net worth and have the ability to influence China's development? It's just a Nobel Prize in chemistry, and John doesn't plan to go to Northern Europe to receive the prize anyway, so it doesn't matter if he has it or not......
……
In December, Professor Finks of Huntelaar University helped John win the Nobel Prize.
The important role of ammonia synthesis has been accepted by most people, so John's award has not been met with much criticism. In fact, under John's promotion, the United States now has the largest ammonia industry in the world, and the annual production of synthetic ammonia can not only supply the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company to produce explosives, but also produce large quantities of fertilizer, which began to supply the entire North American market......
As a traditional agricultural power, the market in the United States is huge and suffocating!
Under John's personal intervention, hundreds of Chinese entered the chemistry department of the Northeast Ten University a few years ago, and after graduation, they entered Huntelaar Chemical Engineering. So at the end of 1913, when the Far East factory of the Huntelaar Pharmaceutical Company was built on the outskirts of Shanghai, an even larger chemical plant was built......
Even in Europe, the three synthetic ammonia factories are also making money every day!
The Germans were undoubtedly the first to acquire technology transfer, and now have the capacity to produce more than 100 tons per day. The huge production capacity of synthetic ammonia gave the German army a great deal of confidence, because even if the British blocked the saltpeter transport, they would have enough capacity to make large quantities of explosives. Of course, under the stimulus of the Germans, the British and French could not sit still, and after exerting huge political pressure, they obtained the synthetic ammonia production process from the Huntelaar consortium. Of course, the British and the French also paid a high price for this! Because the British and French had access to relatively cheap South American saltpeter, and were extremely dissatisfied with the high royalties of the Huntelaar consortium, the production capacity was not very large.
But for many other things, the British and French had to rely on the Huntelaar consortium.
For example, European countries, especially the military, have to rely on the products of the Huntelaar automobile company. Even in Germany, where cars were produced, General Motors is now far behind, and the performance and variety of trucks are far from being comparable to those of Huntelaar Motor Company, let alone the cost comparison after using the assembly line.
And......
What's more, the Huntelaar consortium controls almost eighty percent of the world's rubber resources!
As early as the Shanghai rubber stock turmoil, Huntelaar Bank made Britain and France and other countries suffer heavy losses, and at the same time, they bought rubber plantations in Southeast Asia and even many places in South America! The people who thought the Huntelaar consortium had gone crazy back then now regret it and their bowels are blue. With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the role of rubber is becoming more and more important, and the Huntelaar consortium that has been laid out in advance is undoubtedly making a lot of money, and even those super-rich people have to blush and beat fast every year......
Before you know it, the Huntelaar consortium has fully influenced the countries of Europe.
The British knew that the Germans must have obtained a lot of advanced technology from the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, such as powerful engines, some special steels and artillery, and the Germans also got the news that many new technologies on British naval warships came from North America, such as the world's most advanced wireless communication system and so on. In addition, the Huntelaar consortium is supplying the two major military groups in large quantities with military materials such as aircraft, radios, and trucks, as well as resources such as oil, steel, and minerals, and has become their important customers.
What's more, both sides had to pinch their noses and keep buying.
When the British finally designed a radio equipment that could be humped with three mules, and were ecstatic to think that they could finally get rid of the exploitation of the Huntelaar Wireless Communications Company and supply it to the army by themselves, the Huntelaar Wireless Communications Company came up with a device that only required half of the manpower and a mule to be humped, and the signal strength and communication quality were further improved, so that the British military department could only replace it with a pinching nose; When the Germans came up with an aircraft with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour and a larger carrying capacity, the speed of the latest product of the Huntelaar Aircraft Manufacturing Company had reached 500 kilometers per hour, and the price had quietly doubled, forcing the Germans to continue to increase military spending and place a large order of 150 aircraft in one go......
The advanced R&D system has put the Huntelaar Consortium in the forefront forever.
More importantly, the maturity and perfection of assembly lines and standardization have made the product costs of the Huntelaar consortium lower and lower, and the profits are higher and higher, and these profits are invested in expanding production and research and development without hesitation. The European countries, which are now using almost all their forces in war preparation, are simply unable to compete with the Huntelaar consortium, whose R&D system has become increasingly perfect, and can only reluctantly accept their so-called "blackmail" deals.
And......
What they don't know is that behind the growing international trade of the Huntelaar consortium, there is also John? Huntelaar had more good things in store for them, just waiting to pounce on them and stab them when they needed them most......
