Louis was talking about Professor Magnus's fourth student, Mr. Emil Gabriel Warburg, and hearing the name gave Joey an unusually familiar feeling, like a sentence on his lips but not being able to pronounce it.

While George was still thinking about it, Louis began to talk about the reason for introducing Professor Warburg to Joey.

"Professor Warburg and Otto-Lilinthal are doing an interesting experiment in which they want to make a pile of wood and cloth fly in the sky." Louis's seemingly casual opening remarks startled Joey.

"Fly, plane?!"

"What is an airplane, what Mr. Lilinthal calls its invention the glider (Segelflugzeug)." Louis corrected Joey's title for Mr. Lilienthal's invention.

"Oh my God, Mr. Lilinthal!" Joey slapped his palms hard in annoyance, and shouted with self-reproach in excitement, "Yes, Louie, I know Mr. Lilinthal, I know who he is. ”

At this moment, Joey suddenly remembered that the Berlin International Airport he frequented most in his previous life, or the real name of Berlin Tegel Airport, was called Berlin-Tegel "Otto-Lilienthal" Airport, because the airport was in the Tegel district northwest of Berlin, so it was used to being called Tegel Airport over time.

Modern people know that aeronautical aircraft were inspired by the flight of birds, but the only book written by Mr. Lilinthal was the only book written by Mr. Lilinthal, "Bird Flight is the Basis of Aviation", which was also regarded as the bible of flying machine construction by the Wright brothers and other flight explorers.

Therefore, the reason why the Germans named Berlin International Airport Otto Lilinthal Airport is to pay tribute to the greatest teacher of modern aviation, Otto Lilienthal.

Seeing that Joey was so excited, Louis knew that the person he recommended was the right recommendation, and said with a smile, "Joey, let me continue to finish, Professor Warburg is Professor Magnus's best student in gas dynamics, and is continuing to study the Magnus effect, which is said to make objects produce...."

"Lift!" Joey's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation.

"Oh, yes, it's called lift." Louis asked with some surprise, "Joey, do you know the Magnus Effect too?" ”

"Please, Louie, like you, I've been attending my mother's science salon since I was 5 years old, and of course I know the results of Professor Magnus." After a slightly exaggerated gesture of helplessness, Joey continued to urge, "Louie, hurry up." ”

"Good, good!" Louis shook his head a little amusedly, and said, "Mr. Lilinthal was looking for a wing style that could generate lift, so he approached Professor Warburg, and Professor Warburg did a calculation for the curved wing designed by Mr. Lilienthal, and the result of the calculation was that the curved wing produced more lift than the straight wing, but this was only a calculation on paper. ”

"According to the assumptions of Prof. Warburg and Lilienthal, they had to do at least 20 different types of gliders and more than 3,000 tests to determine what style of wing would work best with the glider."

"Dreams fly in the sky, it's a money-burning thing, last year Mr. Lilinthal just got married, and this year they were lucky to get a pair of daughters, although Mr. Lilinthal started a boiler company, but barely maintained, and now his brother's construction company in Australia is in financial trouble, there is no way to support Mr. Lilinthal."

"Professor Warburg, who teaches at the University of Freiburg, is also interested in the application of the Magnus effect in flight, but it is difficult for him to support the cost of such an experiment on his own."

Louis looked at Joey seriously and emphasized again, "Dreams need money to support, especially when it comes to flying." ”

Historically, Mr. Lilienthal's dream of flying began in earnest in 1885 when his brother Mr. Gustav Lilienthal returned to Germany after earning money in the Australian construction industry.

"Understood!" Joey nodded vigorously, fully agreeing with Louis's opinion, throughout the history of modern Western inventions, behind every invention is the accumulation of time and money.

"Louie, if it is convenient for you, after Christmas and New Year, I will invite Sir Stokema to Baden, and I need your help to introduce you. I assure you that the Foundation is very, very willing to fund Professor Warburg to further study all of Professor Magnus's work and to provide all the funds for Mr. Lirinthal's flying career, including the establishment of a glider factory. ”

"Wait, Jojo, all of Professor Magnus's work?" Louis stared at Joey with wide eyes and said in disbelief, "Jojo, I need to remind you that Professor Warburg is different from the rest of the Empire's scientists. ”

"For example, like Professor Helmholtz, who is the chancellor of the Reich's scientific theory, while Professor Warburg is more of a conscientious engineer, and for an engineer to show his achievements, you need to provide a factory, not just a laboratory."

Joy understood the meaning of Louis's words, the current German scientific community, there has never been a shortage of theoretical giants like Professor Helmholtz, but there is a lack of a group of scientific experimental giants between theory and practice, and Professor Warburg is precisely such a scarce figure.

Between theory and product, someone needs to do a lot of practical verification work to prove that a certain theory can be applied to a certain type of product, this kind of engineer type of scientific giant is the pearl in the process of science and technology industry and industrialization, and it is also the only way from theory to practice.

Even if it takes a lot of money and time to accumulate it, it is still the easiest link to fail, and many engineers have fallen on the path of applying this new technology all their lives, and many companies have gone bankrupt because of it.

Many people only see the brilliant fireworks after the success of a new technology, but they do not see the bones on this road.

"I know!" Joey nodded earnestly.

"Jojo, it is really a very expensive thing to fund the work of Professor Warburg."

"Money ....." Joey smacked his lips in pain, according to what the Foundation's Chief Financial Officer Stolin said to himself before Christmas, before returning to Magdeburg, the current cash in the Foundation's books has basically been spent by himself.

In Stolling's words, "HK is like a greedy dragon, fortunately it was finally full before the Foundation was devoured, and unfortunately the last Finney of the Foundation was in the belly of this dragon." ”

On the one hand, the pressure to fulfill the contract of the Black Hawk Legion, and on the other hand, the pressure of the factory is like a giant stone mill, and in the most difficult times, no matter how much the Foundation's reserve funds are invested, it will be ruthlessly crushed in an instant.

The only thing that is worthy of Joey's good fortune is that with the help of Uncle Herman, HK has finally survived the most difficult first four months, and then the Foundation's daily cash flow can maintain the daily operation of HK, and when the contract is completed next year, the run-in HK will be able to completely run itself, and in turn it will be able to transfuse blood for the Foundation.

The establishment and operation of a factory is far from being as simple as Joey imagined, and if it were not supported by a large amount of funds gathered by the foundation, HK Company would probably fall on the road to success, and reality has taught Joey a good lesson.

Money, for the embarrassed Joey, is indeed an annoying leprechaun now!

So Joey was even willing to bet his sisters that dozens of gold marks would not be spared..... However, according to Louis's conclusion, it is likely that in the end, he will not get this bet, which is sad!

Just when Joy was worried about the money, Louis kindly reminded Joey, "You must know that Mr. Professor is from the Warburg family in Hamburg, but there is a wealthy Jewish family, and they can't do anything about it." ”

"Louie, are you talking about the Warburg family?"

After getting Louis's reaffirmation, Joey looked up and exhaled, finally understanding why he felt familiar with the name Emil Gabriel Warburg.

The wealthy German Warburg family is famous in the history of finance as well as in the history of science.

The Warburg family originated from the Delbanco family of the Venetian Jews, and if you go back further, the distant ancestors of the family should be the richest Spanish family in the 16th century, the Anselmo family and the Palenzula family, due to the persecution of the Spanish Habsburgs, they moved to Venice in the 16th century, and then from there to the German Rhine region, and named the place where they lived, Warburg after their family.

It is famous in the financial world because of the investment bank established by the Warburg family in the 17th century. M. Warburg Co) is one of the oldest surviving investment banks in the world, forming a vast network of family financial transactions across Europe and the United States through different Warburg banks in Belgium, Switzerland, London and New York.

Incidentally, the Warburgs were also the main sponsors of many European political radicalism doctrines, including many advanced elements of socialist doctrines, such as Warbeck Bank, the favorite Swiss bank of the Soviets when they deposited their money, as well as other red countries.

Therefore. Some Huabao banks are often criticized by the Western media and closely monitored by the police in Europe and the United States. Of course, these were all small secrets that were revealed in the financial world of Joey's previous life.

The most famous person in the financial world of the Warburg family is called Paul Warburg, one of the founders and institutional makers of the Federal Reserve (FED).

In addition to his reputation in the world of finance, Otto Heinrich Warburg, winner of the 1931 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, opened up a viable path for the treatment of cancer.

If Joey is a genius, then Otto Heinrich Warburg is a genius among geniuses, a fierce man who received a doctorate in chemistry from Humboldt University at the age of less than 23 and a doctorate in medicine five years later.

Intellectuals all over the world know how difficult it is to get a doctorate in Germany, and he took two in one go.

During the nine years from 1923 to 1931, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for various scientific achievements and papers, and finally won the prize in 1931.

If you're lucky, it's not impossible to win a record nine consecutive Nobel Prizes.

Otto's uncle, Emile Warburg's cousin, Mr. Abi Warburg, was the founder of the modern iconographic doctrine and the modern library.

Mr. Abi-Warburg never discusses the style of a work of art at the level of perception, and in his understanding, style is not a purely formal structure in the aesthetic sense, but a cultural existence that needs to be perceived in a historical context, focusing on the transmission and transformation of the meaning or value of the artwork in the history of images and culture.

Mr. Abi-Warburg argues that the image is only an intermediary to the depths of culture, that the image is a symptom of the culture of the time, and that the image and culture are linked by hidden spiritual symbols, which often exist not in the form or subject that dominates the presentation of meaning in the visible layer of the image, but in some particular detail of the image.

That is, the highest thing that later generations will say about Abi Warburg: "God is in the details".

Well, the above paragraph, but a friend of Joey's own who deals in modern art in his previous life praised Aby-Warburg's position as the founder of iconography and his "pathetic formula".

If it is Joey's vulgar understanding, it is the theory of "iconography" that has achieved and created its own contemporary art market with endless commercial value in his previous life, whether it is impressionism, fauvism, realism, cubism, Dadaism, expressionism, abstractionism, minimalism, abstraction and pop painting, all of which have been transformed into priceless masterpieces through the continuous analysis of iconography by all kinds of people.

To be fair, without the theory of imagery, the media would not be able to look at works of art from a more diverse perspective, and artworks would not be able to attract the participation of the general public in addition to professionals as they are now.

The commercial speculation of art requires the participation of a large number of people, and iconography is the clarion call of the art industry to gather the people.

In order to form a large-scale market for artworks, the key is to have scientific theories, and the art market is like a hooligan who knows culture under the guidance of scientific theories.

Back then, Joy had a vulgar dream, if he could cooperate with Mr. Abi Warburg, coupled with a bunch of unscrupulous media, as well as financial credit and investment institutions, and finally pull in all kinds of appraisal agencies, maybe in the late 19th and early 20th century painting climax, a good hype Monet, Seurat, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Repin, Surikov, Matisse.... Even Picasso's paintings.

In that moment, all Joey's eyes saw was an endless sea of gold....

Now a large group, the giants in the mouths of the people in their previous lives, in their own lives, are just a group of unknown painters, such as Van Gogh.

"Jojo, Jojo?!" Louis shouted and shook Joey, who was obviously a little obsessed, and asked, "Do you have enough money to support Professor Warburg and Mr. Lilinger?" ”

This cruel sentence pulls Joey back to reality.

Money.... Joey suddenly found himself craving it for the first time.

It seems that in any case, if you want to establish a relationship with the Warburg family, you may have to use Merck's connections to introduce yourself to the Warburg family through the banking association in Hamburg.

Cooperation with Mr. Abi Warburg may not be so urgent, but it is urgent to study the Magnus effect with Professor Emile Gabriel Warburg.

The Magnus effect not only confirms that the rotating bullets and shells can move in a straight line, but also that when a rocket (missile) is added to the wings, it can also move in a straight line through its own rotation.

If it were just this simple knowledge, it wouldn't be worth Joey's attention, but in real life, the Magnus effect can be applied not only to flying machines, but also to ship rudders.

The cylindrical Magnus column rudder has better hydrodynamic characteristics than the airfoil rudder and is the best rudder choice for ships with high energy efficiency and/or maneuverability, such as passenger ships, cargo ships, oil tankers, and fishing vessels.

In addition to the Magnus swivel rudder, there is also a ship called the Magnus Duct Ship, by installing a Magnus duct driven by an electric motor, in the 15-knot sea breeze, the 10,000-ton ship can obtain a speed of 6 knots, and in the transatlantic navigation test, the Magnus Duct ship can save 20-30% of fuel.

Simply adding a simple and easy-to-operate hair dryer and motor to the vessel can achieve such a high level of energy savings, and for any ship owner interested in going on an ocean voyage, the Magnus hair dryer saves a lot of money.

There is also a ship stabilizer, which can also use Magnus cylinders instead of fins, a retractable cylinder that is far easier to manufacture than a shaped fin, and is more efficient and easy to retract.

As for the application of Magnus propellers in the field of submarines, and the prospects of Magnus generators in the field of hydropower, these are the technologies that Joey urgently needs to stockpile.

In addition to Professor Warburg's support, Mr. Lilinger, who held up the Wright brothers, should support even more, if he could have supported Mr. Lilinger's career five years earlier, should the airplane have been invented by the Germans?

Joey suddenly felt that everything was expected to come in the future!
