June 1, 1941
Red Alert Base
Office
Lin Zheng was drafting a document.
“A Letter to Chinese Scientists”
Lin Zheng's goal was to gather some Chinese scientists, many of whom had outstanding scientific research abilities.
World War II was a period of rapid technological development. During this time, many black technologies, including jet aircraft, ballistic missiles, and nuclear weapons, emerged one after another, making top scientists essential.
Lin Zheng's "A Letter to Scientists" and the scientist recruitment order were issued.
...
In the office
Lin Zheng was a little surprised.
Right after Lin Zheng posted it, Qian Xue Sheng had already arrived.
Lin Zheng shook hands: "Hello..."
Qian Xue Sheng had just arrived in Lin Zheng's territory and heard that Lin Zheng was recruiting Chinese scientists.
Many of the benefits included 350-square-meter spacious houses, high salaries, supporting medical and educational facilities, as well as generous equity benefits, of course, they also needed to make scientific contributions!
Lin Zheng knew that Qian Xue Sheng was very capable.
He was a heavyweight in the scientific field.
In 1939, he received a double doctorate from Caltech in the United States. Later, he made groundbreaking progress in aerospace, missiles, and rocketry.
"The future development of missile and rocketry is... the future development of aerospace is..."
Lin Zheng discussed the future of technological development with him.
Qian Xue Sheng listened very carefully.
He also looked very surprised!
Lin Zheng's understanding of the technological development trajectory was very accurate.
Lin Zheng established a research institute with 200 people for Qian Xue Sheng. The institute was equipped with scientific research equipment, and Lin Zheng believed he could bring many surprises.
Similar technologies included Lin Zheng's V1 missile, V2 missile, V3 missile, satellites, and so on, as well as the "two bombs and one satellite" technologies.
...
In the office
Lin Zheng sat on the sofa.
Sitting in front of Lin Zheng was a Western scientist.
Lin Zheng was familiar with the scientist, Nikola Tesla.
He was now 80 years old.
He was renowned in the scientific community. Tesla had influenced technologies like the generator, alternating current, radio, radar, and missile navigation!
Tesla was very powerful in modern electrical engineering and electronics.
Lin Zheng: "I have improved your genes. If nothing unexpected happens, you can live for another 30 years."
Tesla: "Oh, I can live to be 110?"
Tesla’s face was very excited.
Tesla wanted to live longer and work in the scientific community.
Tesla also brought a team of 30 scientists, all with doctoral degrees, all geniuses and inventors.
What truly shocked Tesla was the computer, a new type of computer hundreds of times more powerful than the ENIAC, powerful enough to usher in the third industrial revolution!
As time went on, more than 300 scientists from all over the world arrived. Later records show that they made breakthroughs in multiple fields in military and civilian technology development.
...
The Third Reich of Germany.
Führer's Office.
The failed art student had painted an oil painting,
prepared as a gift for Lin Zheng.
“Lin Zheng sent a letter to scientists, calling on them?”
“Scientists are rewarded with 350-square-meter spacious houses, high salaries, supporting medical and educational facilities, as well as generous equity benefits.”
“Lin Zheng is doing the right thing... I need to improve the treatment of scientists too!”
The failed art student decided to learn from Lin Zheng. He felt that Lin Zheng was far-sighted.
...
Japan
Cabinet meeting.
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo’s face was flushed with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table!
“You’ve all seen Lin Zheng’s scientist recruitment. More than 300 scientists have arrived!”
“Lin Zheng’s technological strength and industrial strength are increasing every day!”
“We must improve the treatment of scientists, otherwise, the Japanese Empire has no future!” Japanese scientists were given a significant increase in daily food rations. They no longer had to endure hunger.
...
The United States
The White House.
A tall man sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes sharp and penetrating.
Franklin D. Roosevelt looked at the documents expressionlessly.
“FUCK!”
“FUCK!”
“What is Lin Zheng doing! What is he doing recruiting scientists!”
“More than 300 scientists have defected to Lin Zheng, even Tesla!”
Tesla’s extraordinary scientific research abilities, his departure was a huge loss, more important than an army group.
Tesla’s departure broke Roosevelt’s defenses.
The United States was a country that highly valued technological development. It established related scientific and technological policies, cultivated tens of thousands of scientific and technological talents, and the government organized and led nationwide scientific research on a large scale.
During the early stages of World War II, they absorbed Jewish scientists, and in the latter stages, they looted scientists from around the world.
These outstanding scientists helped the United States become a world superpower! Tesla, who had been deeply involved in the development of generators, alternating current, radio, radar, and missile navigation technologies, had defected to Lin Zheng!?
Was Lin Zheng worth his defection??
Roosevelt in his wheelchair was truly broken!
Roosevelt: "Call in Welles!"
“To curb the development of Lin Zheng’s national strength, we must take action!”
“Secretly transport steel, coal, a small amount of oil, food, and raw materials to the Japanese Empire!”
“But remember, the price of resources is five times the normal US dollar price. Squeeze them hard!”
“FUCK! Drain both the Japanese Empire and Lin Zheng!”
“Let’s see how long they can last!”
Secretary Welles carefully took notes. He was also in a state of great shock.
This round of resource trading could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars, and Roosevelt could buy some villas, houses, and luxury cars... and he could also坑 two countries.
