21 What is the most valuable in the world, of course, is the most valuable talent, no matter what field of attention to talent has always been a heavy hire or senior treatment.

This emphasis on talent was much weaker in the 17th century, when Britain created the steam age, and Germany, which later produced the world's first automobile, were in complete chaos when European countries were completely ahead of China in terms of technology.

The Thirty Years' War in Europe is still six years to the end of history, but with the export of Australian weapons, more or less some advanced weapons from European countries have flowed in, including the Dutch intentionally, and the old Australian leader has been lost.

Today, the 1640 rifle produced in Australia has become almost the best weapon of the two countries in Europe, and is considered one of the weapons most likely to change the decisive battlefield, of course, it also includes the 16-pounder small-caliber steel cannon made in Australia, which is said to have less than ten in the entire European theater.

It is said that in a recent skirmish between the Netherlands and the German Confederation, it played an unexpected role and even directly turned the tide of the war.

Therefore, the Dutch now attach great importance to Australian weapons, and it is said that Van Diemen has contacted the Australians to purchase arms on a large scale, and the shrewd Dutch, large-scale purchases are not only for their own use, but also have plans to sell them to the allies.

The 1640 rifles currently in the hands of the French and Swedes are sold by them, and the price is twice as high as buying them directly from the Australians, so the Dutch are very willing to make money and buy them.

The differences in the weapons used by the countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance did not attract the attention of the Holy Fallen Empire and its allies at first, until after several battles, when they inadvertently captured some of the opponent's guns on the battlefield, that they realized that the weapons they used were actually different from their own.

At this time, although there were already a considerable number of legions using firearms in the European ** teams, the main weapons of combat were spears and long swords, and they wore wide iron helmets and chain mail.

Although firearms in this period could play a huge role in combat, they were not the main weapons for combat use because of their performance and the influence of the weather environment.

The 1640 rifle seized from the battlefield can be clearly seen after testing that it is better than any European country in terms of moisture resistance and shooting.

In order to produce weapons that could rival those of the rebels, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Austria, Bavaria and other countries gathered their own firearms craftsmen to study the 1640 rifle and tried to imitate it.

However, the imitation was not very successful, and after testing, it basically did not reach the performance produced in Australia, which is why the Spaniards were so enthusiastic about Hong Kong's purchase of arms, which also had a lot to do with the situation in the European theater.

The first batch of 200 1640 rifles purchased through contact with the Australians had been shipped back to the country via a merchant ship in Manila, Spain, and would arm a Spanish infantry regiment.

In order to purchase these rifles, in addition to paying money, Spain will also provide Australia with the most favored country status for trade, and at the same time, Australia will set up commercial offices in Spain mainland and other colonies, and the Spanish government will fully support it.

Nowadays, the Australian business office in Madrid, Spain has been set up, and there are several such offices in other European countries, including the Netherlands, France, etc., the main responsibility of these offices is to be responsible for receiving and negotiating business and trade exchanges with various countries, and also shoulder a heavy responsibility, that is, to collect and collect scientists from various countries during this period.

During this period, the rulers of various countries basically focused on war and earning money for turf, and the importance of talents was not as important as in the 21st century, and there were even no restrictions on special talents going abroad.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find and collect these scientists, but it is not easy to say that it is not easy, because because of the war, many famous mathematicians and physicists in history do not know where they have moved, and if you want to find them, you need to rely on the careful investigation and search of the agents of the Department of Homeland Security.

Not long ago, agents from the Department of Homeland Security did not disappoint the bosses in the country and found one of the talents on the list, Bryce Pascal, in a shop in Rouen, France.

This talented mathematician and physicist who wrote the theory of conic curves at the age of 17 is actually not very difficult to find, and when the agents intentionally touched and threw out an article on vacuum and hydrostatics, just read the first few lines, which made him very excited, and even pulled someone to ask who wrote it.

Before sending out a target to search for talent, the agents were given the appropriate information about the subjects they were looking for in their respective fields, with the aim of using them to attract them to Australia.

Scientists are basically people who have a particular paranoid about a certain field, so they must be very surprised and shocked when they are given something that they are working in. Their inner desire to explore and unravel the puzzle will be a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people.

With little effort, the agents tricked Bryce Pascal into boarding a ship bound for Manila, where he was transferred to Christmas Island. As for his family, the agents also said that they could choose to migrate to Australia at any time if they wished. Because Bryce Pascal's father could not let go of the huge interests of becoming an agent of Australian goods, he did not choose to go to Australia with him, but chose to stay and continue to run his shop, he believed that it would not be long before he would become one of the famous and wealthy merchants in France, and even be received by the king.

Beautiful imagination is born from the hope of the future, and Bryce Pascal's beautiful imagination is because he hopes to make a breakthrough in his favorite research in Australia, and there is also the guidance of the master in that magical country.

Based on this, he chose to go to Australia and leave his family, which is a very rare thing, but it is certain that once such a famous person in history goes to Australia, he will never be able to leave, even if the Australian government agrees with him to leave, he will not be willing to leave.

It is foreseeable that Australia will become a gathering place for talents from all over the world in the 17th century, and these scientists and mathematicians who have made great contributions in various fields in history will inevitably speed up the speed of Australia's entire scientific and technological recovery work under the guidance of the people, because this has been fully reflected in the craftsmen introduced from various countries, so the Australian government has to get these valuable talents even if it costs a lot of money.
