Chapter 320: Scientists from Germany

The cargo ship "Earl" slowly stopped at the docks.

The sailors, with pipes in their mouths, lazily leaned against the side of the ship, admiring the scenery around them.

Captain Spitz stepped out of the cabin, the weather was so nice today. Although the British and French warships were repeatedly encountered along the way, the "Earl" flying the American flag still arrived without danger.

"Captain Spitz, thank you for your help." Deng Yong walked over and shook his hand politely.

Spitz made a gesture of counting the bills: "My friend, though full of danger, is able to get a large sum of money. We Americans have a saying that the fruit in the middle of the cliff is the most delicious. ”

Deng Yong smiled "haha": "I have already deposited your remuneration in the designated bank." ”

“ok!” Spitz whistled excitedly: "Hey, hey, you lazy people, hurry up and help get the goods!" ”

A huge cargo box containing something that God knows what was was transported down, very, very heavy, and some boxes were even very difficult to carry by a dozen people.

Dozens of foreigners walked out of the cabin one after another, and they hadn't seen the sun for so many days, and suddenly came out, and their eyes seemed to be very uncomfortable.

"Gentlemen, the end of our voyage, China has arrived!" Deng Yong said with a smile.

These foreigners breathed a sigh of relief, God, it had finally arrived, what a long and dangerous voyage.

A large group of soldiers came over with an officer, and as soon as they arrived in front of Deng Yong, the officer saluted with a military salute: "Mr. Deng? ”

Seeing Deng Yong nodded, the officer hurriedly said: "Jiang Zhongzheng, director of the Generalissimo Attendant Office of the Generalissimo of the Revolutionary Army and Political Axe, Generalissimo Feng welcomes Mr. Deng back to China!" ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "The generalissimo originally wanted to come to greet him in person, but there are too many foreigners here, for fear of being too ostentatious, so the fate is coming, and the generalissimo is waiting for Mr." ”

"Good!" Deng Yong's voice also lowered: "These foreigners are specially invited by me, and they must be escorted to Heng Shuai safely, and not a single hair is missing!" ”

"Yes!"

"Heng Shuai!"

"Deng Yong!"

Wang Hengyue, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, saw that Deng Yong, who had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared in front of him, hurriedly greeted him, looked Deng Yong up and down, and said for a long time:

"Okay, you're good!"

Wang Hengyue really couldn't find any other words.

In Europe, his loyal subordinate has brought huge profits to himself, and it is precisely by his efforts that a steady stream of money flows to China, and it is precisely by his efforts that Wang Hengyue can make a lot of money when the European battlefield is in full swing.

Without him, perhaps there would not be such a big situation as Wang Hengyue today.

Although he was not as conspicuous as those officers on the battlefield, the role he played was beyond the reach of those officers and could never be imagined.

"Heng Shuai, this time the stakes are very high, so I personally escorted those people back." Deng Yong is no longer polite: "Germany is about to be defeated, this is almost an open secret, some of them are pessimistic about the future of Germany, for fear of punishment after the war, so they came here with me, some of them I took a large number of strategic materials and the Germans in exchange, I have signed a ten-year long-term work contract with them, and now they are waiting in the hall outside." ”

"Yes, yes!" Wang Hengyue said repeatedly: "These people are worth it even if they pay a big price, ten years is too short, I have to find a way to keep them in China for the rest of my life." Let's go, let's go! ”

In the hall, the foreigners sat in all directions, some curiously sipping Chinese tea, and some drinking coffee specially prepared for them.

The only thing that is the same may be that the faces of these foreigners are engraved with seriousness and nervousness!

Coming from distant Germany to a completely unfamiliar capital, there are some things that none of them know in their hearts.

When Wang Hengyue, who was wearing a generalissimo uniform, walked in, everyone stood up.

"This is Wang Hengyue, the generalissimo of the Chinese Protector Army and Political Axe!" Deng Yong introduced on the side.

"Sit, sit, please." Wang Hengyue said with a smile on his face.

These foreigners didn't expect to see the generalissimo in Deng Yong's mouth so soon. When the ship was boring, Deng Yong carefully told them many, many magical stories about the generalissimo, which had fully aroused their curiosity.

When I really saw it, I found that the generalissimo was really young and enviable.

Deng Yong pointed to a middle-aged man with a bald head and said: "This is the greatest chemist in Germany and even in the world, who was awarded a doctorate by the Royal Industrial University of Germany at the age of 19, and the world's first scientist to produce ammonia from the air. Dr. Haber! ”

Oh my God!

Although he had been mentally prepared, Wang Hengyue was still shocked by this name!

Deng Yong actually got this person for me?

Fritz. Haber, the world-famous German physical chemist! Those who praise Haber say that he is an angel, who brings abundant harvest and joy to mankind, and that he is a saint who makes bread out of air; Those who cursed him said that he was the devil, who brought calamity, suffering, and death to mankind, and the contrasting and completely different evaluations were astonishing for the same person; This is Fritz. Hubble!

He was the first scientist to make ammonia from the air. Since then, human beings have been freed from the passive situation of relying on natural nitrogen fertilizers, and the development of world agriculture has been accelerated. Haber has since become a world-renowned scientist.

Soon, yes, just this year, the Swedish Academy of Sciences will award this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Haber!

He is probably best known for not producing ammonia from the air, but because in World War I, Haber was responsible for the development and production of chlorine, mustard gas and other poisonous gases when he was the director of the chemical arsenal, and used them in the war, causing nearly one million casualties.

After the outbreak of World War I, the great enthusiasm for war aroused by the war made Haber, director of the Wilhelm Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry, devote himself to the development of poison gas. He turned his laboratory into a military institution for the war effort and served as the scientific head of the German gas warfare.

This great scientist not only sent scientific personnel to the troops, but also went to the front line to select the location of the chlorine troops.

The following year, at the suggestion of Haber, the Germans used poison gas on the battlefield for the first time and effectively dealt a blow to the enemy. However, when the gas warfare plan was communicated to the German divisional commanders, it was rejected by all commanders. Only the troops were supported by the Duke of Albrecht, who was besieged in the city of Yprecht. More than three months later, the "poison gas war" was officially born in the Battle of Ypre, which caused the poisoning of about 15,000 British and French troops and took the lives of more than 5,000 people.

Haber's wife, Clark, is also a doctor of chemistry and is well aware of the dangers of poison gas. When she begged her husband to give up this inhumane weapon, he not only cursed her, claiming that poison gas was "a humane weapon to end the war as soon as possible." Haber believes that poison gas, as a tool of war, is no more cruel than "a projectile flying in the sky". In a fit of rage and desperation, Clark committed suicide with Harbour's pistol. But this did not prompt the fanatical patriots to calm down. On the contrary, he firmly believed that everything he did was "for the peace of mankind and for the war of the motherland."

God, God! Wang Hengyue called out twice in his heart in succession, the God he had never believed in. Genius, Deng Yong is really a genius, he really got this poison gas master for himself!

Deng Yong whispered in his ear: "I noticed this man after the Germans began to use poison gas on a large scale on the battlefield, and after the United States landed in Europe, I asked him from the Earl of Chinker with strategic materials worth more than 110,000 pounds. ”

"Only 110,000 pounds? More than 1.2 million oceans? It's worth it, it's worth it, I'll want 10 million! "Where will Wang Hengyue take care of any money at this time, he can't help but be overjoyed.

Deng Yong smiled and said: "But it is not easy to persuade this person to come to China, except for the Earl of Chinker in the name of almost giving orders in the name of everything for the country, and I also promised him that he will open a special laboratory for him in China, and design a device and plan for extracting gold from seawater, in order to deal with the huge war reparations that Germany will encounter after its defeat in the future." ”

"Extracting gold from seawater? That's unlikely to come true, so it's better to have less of this fantasy. ”

Wang Hengyue muttered, and then said: "Tell him that I will satisfy him no matter what he wants, not to mention refining gold in the seawater, even if he wants to refine diamonds in the air, I will agree!" ”

Deng Yong smiled and said a few words to Haber, who bowed down slightly as grateful.

Well, it's good that you didn't stay in Germany, otherwise you wouldn't be called Fritz if you were a Jew, and you would have lived for ten or twenty years. Haber, while being insulted by the surname is called a Jew. Habo, Wang Hengyue thought in his heart.

Deng Yong then pointed to the two people again: "Marcos. Planck, Rector of the University of Berlin; Max. Feng. Laue, discoverer of the phenomenon of X-ray diffraction in crystals, a great physicist. ”

Wang Hengyue's mind was dizzy.

Happiness doesn't know anything else but happiness yourself.

The concept of these two countries is not very important, science is their only God, well, you love science, I will give you all the conditions to study science, no matter what!

"Marcos. Planck, whose wife and daughter died one after another, and his eldest son died on the battlefield shortly after his eldest son died on the battlefield, he was heartbroken and completely disappointed with the German war, and Laue was one of the authorities in the German physics community and the president of the German Physical Society. He was an upright man who had no intention of political activities, but politics found him. Deng Yong whispered: "So when I asked them to come to China to conduct their scientific research, I didn't bother too much. ”

Wang Hengyue nodded.

It's so much easier to invite these two than it is to ask Haber!
