At this time, Einstein was only a second-level technician at the Bern Patent Office in Switzerland, although he had just won the Victorian Physics Prize, and he was also well-known in the field of physics in Europe. However, because of his age, he is not so highly regarded in Switzerland.

At least with Einstein's status as a Level 2 technician, some of the top labs are not available.

However, if you work for Australasia, you can not only become the president of the Australian Physical Association in an instant, but also have access to all the physics laboratories in Australasia, and also have the position of honorary professor of physics at the Australasian National University.

Albert Einstein was a German who lived in Germany, Italy and Switzerland, and did not have such a high level of recognition for one country over another.

The reason why he chose to become a citizen of Switzerland was nothing more than to take a fancy to Switzerland's status as a neutral country and hope to work in a peaceful homeland without war.

Because of this, after Einstein accepted Arthur's invitation, he did not have the constraints and baggage of national righteousness, but seriously considered the pros and cons of staying in Australia.

For a top scientist like Albert Einstein, money is often not so important.

Besides, just by virtue of the Victoria Prize, Einstein was able to receive a lot of money and fame, and naturally he was even less interested in money.

For Einstein, the working environment and the satisfaction of scientific research needs were more important than anything else.

At the moment, it may not be as developed as the academic community in Australasia, but at least the research space and funding are absolutely sufficient, and there is no need to worry about the outside world.

Eventually, under Arthur's persuasion and temptation, Einstein agreed to stay in Australasia, temporarily as a temporary resident of Australasia, as an honorary professor at the National University.

While not directly becoming an Australasian citizen, it was only a matter of time.

Arthur generously promised to give Einstein at least $200,000 a year in research funding, and was willing to set up his own research team for Einstein.

With the exception of some more important research, all of Einstein's theoretical research belongs to him.

The arrival of Albert Einstein not only added a master of physics to Australasia, but also added a mentor to Australasia's physics talents.

It is believed that under the influence of Albert Einstein, an honorary professor of physics at the National University, the physics department of the National University will also be able to produce more physics talents and experts, and Australasia's scientific research field will also be at the forefront of the world.

In February 1907, with the arrival of the first funds of the Russian Empire, the Royal Shipyard in Sydney Harbour also began the construction of Russian orders.

The huge keels of the two dreadnoughts began to be laid, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign media onlookers, and Arthur also attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the two dreadnoughts.

Although the two dreadnoughts were built for Russia, they were built with all Australasian technology, and the workers and experts who built them were all Australasian people.

This is also a memorable event in the naval history of Australasia, at least in the construction of dreadnoughts, Australasia has truly come to the world's first-class.

Arthur was accompanied by the Russian diplomatic ambassador to Australasia.

After the marriage between Russia and Australia, the ties between the two countries have also become even closer. Australasian products began to be dumped into Russia, and Russia began to send large numbers of agricultural people to Australasia.

These two dreadnoughts were named Petropavlovsk and Poltava by the Russians, and the names of these two warships happen to be the names of the first dreadnoughts Gangut-class battleships in Russian history, and it is a coincidence that they are now coming out in advance.

Because of the full load displacement of 20910 tons, it took a long time for the keels of these two battleships to be laid.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, all the domestic and foreign media present were also asked to leave, and the Royal Shipyard will then become a military exclusion zone, and unrelated personnel will be basically not allowed to approach until the two battleships are launched.

In fact, the construction of the dreadnought did not take long, but the sea navigation and testing after launching took a long time.

The British Empire's Dreadnought battleship was built in just four months under the premise of adopting a variety of new technologies, which is enough to see the industrial scale and efficiency of the British Empire.

Australasia's construction time was much slower. According to expert estimates, the Petropavlovsk is expected to be launched for testing at the end of this year, and the Poltava is expected to be launched for testing at the beginning of next year.

If all goes well, the two battleships were expected to be delivered in the second half of next year, around the end of 1908.

In mid-February, after more than a month of site selection, the Royal Military College of Australasia finally settled on the western outskirts of the Capital Territory.

Of course, this is only the location of the Army College and the Aviation College of the Military Academy, and the Naval Academy will be close to the port of Sydney, after all, the training of the Navy cannot be separated from warships, and the training of warships cannot be separated from the sea and ports.

In order to make the Royal Military Academy have a greater scale and reputation, Arthur can be regarded as opening up this time, and extensively looking for military experts and professors in Europe and the United States to sit in the Royal Military Academy.

Because the construction of the Royal Military Academy will take at least a little more than a year, the training institution of the aviation laboratory has not been relocated for the time being, but continues to stay in the aviation laboratory to carry out the pilot training program.

So far, Arthur has had his troops screened many times, selected hundreds of excellent soldiers who are suitable to become pilots, and given them an honorable and difficult task, that is, to master the piloting skills of the aircraft as soon as possible.

All the people who have conducted pilot training add up, and there are almost more than 800 people.

After these people completely mastered the piloting skills, Australasia could be regarded as the first batch of air force soldiers.

Also in February, a severe famine occurred in East Asia due to natural disasters such as insect pests, malaria, and acid rain.

The major powers began to sell rice and grain at high prices in these disaster-stricken areas, earning a large amount of ill-gotten gains.

Arthur condemned this behavior and ordered the granaries of Australasia to move large quantities of grain to East Asia to join the Great Powers.

Of course, Arthur still took action on the surface, collected 100 tons of grain in a very high-profile manner, and announced that it would be given to the affected people for free.

It's just that how much of this 100 tons of grain will eventually reach the hands of the affected people, Arthur can't guarantee.

This act in Australasia immediately made the affected people grateful to Dade. After all, these people are high in the eyes of foreigners, and there are not many foreigners who pity them like Australasia.

The servile mentality of the people who have always been oppressed, coupled with the country's current extremely backward situation, has given birth to a very serious mentality of worshipping foreigners and flattering foreigners.

Even if the rest of the people don't worship foreigners, they have to bow their humble heads in front of the foreigners.

What Arthur didn't expect was that Arthur's little kindness on his face actually made many people affected by the disaster have the idea of getting close to Australasia.

They put their hope of changing the situation of the country on an advanced country like Australia, believing that only by learning advanced systems and technologies and arming themselves with these can they change the current crisis facing themselves and their nation.

It can only be said that these people at the bottom are still too easy to deceive, and if they know that the grain shipped from Australasia to the disaster-stricken areas is as high as tens of thousands of tons, except for the 100 tons that are given away for free, all of them are sold at several times or even several times the usual price of grain, I am afraid that their mood will become very strange.

The natural disasters and famines in East Asia in February-March turned out to be a good opportunity for exploitation by the great powers.

According to the commercial banks opened in East Asia, in just over this month, Australasia has earned several times the usual profits from grain exports, and on the surface, it has also won some favor from the people affected by the disaster, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.

Arthur thought that this was the impact of the famine, but in March, the government welcomed an unexpected guest, a group of students from the Qing Dynasty, who asked the Australasian Open University to allow some Qing students to study at Australasia universities.

Because of the interests of the Qing power, the government officials did not dare to make their own decisions, so they kicked the ball to Arthur's side.

At this time, most of the Qing students were relatively wealthy landlords and gentry. As for the poor people who have no money, it is a problem for them to even have enough to eat, let alone go abroad to study.

Poor people are more likely to go abroad to seek livelihoods than to go to universities to enrich themselves and save the nation.

In fact, these people may also be the reason for the fear that Australasia will refuse, and the conditions offered are also very generous.

In addition to all of their out-of-pocket expenses in Australasia, there is a tuition fee of $1,000 per person per year.

If calculated according to the current exchange rate, 1,000 Australian dollars is almost equivalent to 3,500 taels of silver, which is enough to see that the people currently studying abroad are all high-ranking officials and nobles, businessmen and gentry.

Arthur agreed to their requests, but also made some corresponding demands. The most important one is that the rule of Australasia must be maintained, and no illegal or criminal activities must be carried out in Australasia.

If these students are found to have engaged in any illegal and criminal acts, they will not only face large compensation, but may also be held accountable by the Australasian government.

Arthur's reason for agreeing to their request to study abroad was actually to cultivate talents close to Australasia.

If these people can go to the higher levels of their country, or gain more power and status, won't they also be able to influence their country to get closer to Australasia, and Australasia will get more benefits?
