When Arthur met Enrique Fermi, it was already the next day.

To be honest, Arthur was still very curious about this famous physicist in history.

Speaking of Enrique Fermi's fame and honors, it is really a big name.

"One of the greatest scientists of the 20th century", "the last all-round talent in the scientific community of the 20th century", "the father of the world's atomic energy" and "the father of neutron physics" are not only praised by later generations, but also represent the achievements of this 29-year-old scientist in history.

Sillard and Fermi, two scientists who became famous at a young age and had high achievements, actually proved that in some ways, human achievements have been predestined by talent.

Looking at Fermi, who was not too restrained in front of him, Arthur smiled and asked, "Dr. Fermi, what do you think of Australasia?" ”

"Very good." Fermi sincerely admired: "I originally thought that Sydney might not be as good as Rome, but now I realize that it is Italy that is really lagging behind.

Australasian people are happy, which is unattainable in Italy at the moment. ”

A year ago, Fermi would not have been so unhappy with Mussolini. Even because Mussolini awarded Fermi the title of academician of the Royal Academy, Fermi had some favor.

But with the outbreak of war between Italy and the Abyssinian Empire, coupled with the anti-Semitic laws promulgated by Mussolini, Fermi began to think about the disadvantages of Italian rule.

Compared with the current Australasia, Fermi realized that it was not the dictatorship that was wrong, but the person who imposed the dictatorship.

It doesn't matter whether the form of government is good or bad, and the monarchy can also make a country prosperous.

What really determines the quality of a country's development is actually the person who controls state power. The current ruler of the Kingdom of Italy is, of course, Mussolini, known as the dictator.

Mussolini and Arthur ruled and governed their respective countries, and Fermi could only say that he was glad that he left Italy early.

Hearing Fermi's slightly sincere admiration, Arthur nodded flatly, and then went straight to the point: "Dr. Fermi, on behalf of the Royal Australasian Academy of Sciences, I formally invite you to become an academician of the Academy of Sciences, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" ”

"It is my pleasure, Your Majesty." Fermi nodded and directly agreed to Arthur's invitation.

The Royal Academy of Sciences in Australasia and the Royal Academy in Italy are actually of the same nature, equivalent to the highest honor in the scientific community of a country.

Although Fermi is already an academician of the Royal Italian Academy, after all, he has just arrived in Australasia, and Fermi did not think that he could directly enter the Royal Academy of Sciences.

At present, it seems that the European saying that Arthur attaches great importance to talent is true, and he does give himself enough respect.

For Fermi, who is famous and has enough ability, Arthur is definitely generous enough.

After hearing Fermi's consent to his invitation, Arthur turned and instructed the guards to hand over a signing contract.

This contract not only stated that Fermi would be invited to become a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, but also that Fermi would be able to enjoy the benefits and benefits.

First of all, after the vote of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the treatment that Fermi can enjoy starts directly from the second-level academician, directly skipping the rank of expert and first-class academician.

Further up is the apex of academicians, that is, third-level academicians. Theoretically speaking, a third-level academician is the apex of all ordinary scientists.

Because of the treatment of the higher level of the annex and the president, it is necessary to create enough honor and contribution to the Royal Academy of Sciences to obtain it.

Of course, if Fermi had successfully participated and made no small contribution to the research of nuclear weapons, it would have been very easy for him to be treated as Honorary Vice President or Vice President according to merit.

It is worth mentioning that although there are more than 1,000 scientists in the Royal Academy of Sciences, the largest number are experts and first-class academicians.

There is a watershed between first-class academicians and second-class academicians, which is also the gap between ordinary talents and outstanding talents.

As a well-known talent in physics, Arthur certainly did not waste Fermi's ability in physics.

In addition to his Second Class Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Sciences, Fermi will also be an Honorary Professor in the Department of Physics at Australia-Canada University and the Royal Academy of Science.

After that, it's more conventional, and everyone can enjoy a set of properties and a car.

While this is conventional, the value is significant. Based on the current price of house prices and car prices in Australasia, the total value of these two items is also close to $1,200.

After all, the properties gifted by the royal family are all single-family villas located in the bustling area of the capital, Fort St. Arthur.

With the construction and development of Fort St. Arthur, the value of these properties will also increase, which can be regarded as a disguised investment.

If Arthur remembers correctly, the Sydney property that was first gifted to scientists at the Royal Academy of Sciences has now increased more than tenfold.

If Arthur hadn't deliberately suppressed the growth of property prices in Australasia, I am afraid that the prices of those single-family villas would have skyrocketed, even reaching sky-high prices that ordinary people could not hope for.

At present, housing prices in Australasia are quite normal, and they are definitely not to the point where ordinary people can't afford them at all.

With a per capita income of around $142 per year, the average urban housing price in the three major cities is around $550.

This means that a family of three, after two years of struggle, can basically afford to buy a house.

Moreover, the government also has quite preferential and subsidy policies for buying a house.

Families with two children can enjoy a 10% subsidy for buying a house, and even a mortgage interest waiver for about two years.

On top of this, the housing subsidy will be increased by 10% for each additional child, and the mortgage interest waiver will be extended for two years.

As long as you have enough four children, you can enjoy a maximum of 30% housing purchase subsidy, as well as preferential policies for mortgage interest reduction.

Such a discount is still very exaggerated, and the house price can be reduced to up to 385 Australian dollars, which is close to the suburban house price.

Because of such favorable preferential and subsidy policies, people are still happy to have children.

Moreover, for families with multiple children, the government will also have additional financial subsidies and even various support policies, so that families with more children do not have too much burden.

There have been many news reports in Australasia that have shown that having four children is the best option, with the lowest housing prices, the lowest taxes, and the same cost as families with three children.

Because of this, there are currently many couples in Australasia who choose to have four children.

In this era of relatively scarce entertainment facilities and programs, the fun of having children is indeed greater than some entertainment that seems boring.

People are very happy to have children, which is one of the real reasons for Australasia's growing population.

Speaking of which, Australasia has a population of just over 30 million, and the annual birth size of the native population exceeds 500,000, which is actually quite a considerable number.

Moreover, the birth scale of the local population is also increasing, and even one day, the annual birth size of the local population alone may exceed 1 million.

After a cursory glance at Arthur's conditions, Fermi was still a little surprised for a moment.

This condition is much more generous than Mussolini's offer, and it can be said to be full of sincerity.

If Arthur really offered such conditions to everyone, then it was only natural that Australasia would have developed so rapidly.

After making sure that there were no problems, Fermi signed his name very decisively and joined the Royal Academy of Sciences of Australasia.

After seeing Fermi sign his name, Arthur nodded with a smile and said, "Academician Fermi, I have two plans for the current research direction of Ling.

One is to join an ongoing top-secret project in Australasia. This project is a top secret project with the highest priority status for the future development of Australasia.

Suffice it to say, the project is very difficult and highly confidential. But once the project is completed, it is very important for the country, and all researchers involved in the project are adequately rewarded.

In addition to this, you can also choose to set up your own laboratory and choose the physics project that the Royal Academy of Sciences is preparing to study.

But the construction of the laboratory takes a while, and before the construction of the laboratory is completed, you may have to aggrieve the laboratory of your national university to conduct research, and by the way, you will work part-time as a physics professor at the national university. ”

Although Arthur was more interested in Fermi's participation in nuclear weapons research, he could not force these scientists to do so.

Whether it is to join the research of nuclear weapons or to engage in other physical research work, in fact, it is all research for Australasia, and there is not much difference.

Letting Fermi choose his own career direction is also the greatest respect Arthur gives him, and Arthur's purpose is also very simple, to make Fermi completely recognize himself and the country, and then through Fermi, invite his teacher Max Born and several of his junior brothers.

Regarding the two plans proposed by Arthur, Fermi also understood that they were his two best choices at present.

There is really nothing to choose between these two options, and for a talent like Fermi, who has shown a talent for physics from the start, challenge is what they expect.

What's more, although he didn't know what the top-secret project Arthur was talking about, through yesterday's welcome banquet, Fermi still knew that guys like Einstein and Scilard were working on this top-secret project.

That being the case, Fermi still finds it interesting to enter this top-secret project and show his talent and abilities.

In addition to letting Arthur understand that he didn't value the wrong person, he also challenged himself to have a little fun in his boring scientific career.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to join the research of the top secret project." Fermi said, "I'm curious about what kind of top-secret project would attract so many scientists.

If I could, I could get to work right now. ”
