Rise of Empires: Spain

After the Franco-Prussian War, the European situation also ushered in a period of calm.

Of course, the reason why the situation was calm was that the troublemaker British Empire was too busy with the Irish autonomy movement.

The official name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Kingdom of Great Britain is composed of England and Scotland.

This also led to problems similar to Spain in the UK. In addition to the main ethnic group of the English, the Scots and Irish did not seem to agree with the government's rule.

However, the British Empire at this time was the undisputed world hegemon and the most powerful naval country. With the glory of the Victorian era, the independence desire of the Irish and Scottish was temporarily suppressed.

When the British had problems, the French licked their wounds after the war, and the Germans received a large amount of funds to start industry, the best time for the development of other European countries came.

More than two months passed quickly, and the main building of the power laboratory that Gram had been thinking about was finally completed.

Under Gram's urging, the Royal Power Research Business was successfully moved to the new main experimental building, and the research on generators was officially started.

If direct current and alternating current are mentioned in the future, the first thing people will think of is the current war between Edison and Tesla.

But in fact, direct current and alternating current were born very early, but they spent too much time in the early exploration stage and had not received the attention of governments of various countries, so the large-scale application of electricity was not realized until the end of the 19th century.

Why do you say that?

Gramm can be said to be a very outstanding talent in electricity. His contribution to electric energy can be said to be in the top five in the 19th century.

But such talents are not valued in France. There are many talents like Gramm, including Nikola Tesla, who became famous more than a decade later.

The first thing Gramm did after moving to the new laboratory was to build an AC generator and a DC generator respectively, and then explore how to use electricity from them.

Although Faraday and Henry, pioneers in this field, have determined the principles and feasibility of manufacturing generators, the generators they made are more for experiments, and they have not demonstrated whether electricity can be used for practical purposes.

Gramm decided to continue the exploration of Faraday and Henry, and strive to find cheap electricity that can be actually used as soon as possible to repay Carlo for his support.

Carlo actually has some knowledge reserves about electricity. Of course, these so-called knowledge reserves are nothing more than common sense in later generations.

After hundreds of years of exploration by pioneers like Gramm, people in later generations can enjoy such convenient and easy electricity more than 100 years later.

Carlo even knows the accidental story of Gramm promoting the power industry. At an exhibition, Gramm accidentally connected the wrong wires when installing two generators, and the electricity generated by the generator was transmitted back to another engine.

It was this accident that made electricity quickly become practical, and the scientists present were ecstatic. The practical application of electricity they have been pursuing for many years would be so simple to achieve.

The generator is a generator, but it can also be turned into an electric motor. This discovery made electricity, an energy source, quickly become one of the most important energy sources of the Second Industrial Revolution, and it also changed the world afterwards.

However, all this has to wait until Gramm makes his own generator. After all, only when there is something can you have an excuse to put forward your proposal. In the absence of evidence, it is impossible to prove the rationality of this statement. It is better to wait until there is a generator and let Gramm actually operate it. Is it really known at a glance?

The power laboratories of the Royal Engine Company and Gram are almost next to each other. It is better to say that they are engine companies than engine research laboratories.

Both are his own enterprises, and Carlo will not favor one over the other. Naturally, he will inspect both.

Compared with the power laboratory over there, the engine research laboratory here is much quieter.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Although Gram is the main researcher in the power research laboratory, there are many technical talents, which are enough to help Gram.

On the engine laboratory side, only Daimler, Benz and Maybach have relevant R\u0026D capabilities, and the discussion is also conducted by these three people.

Although these three people can be said to be among the best in the fields of automobiles and engines, it is obviously impossible to achieve something in the field of engines with only the three of them.

Carlo also set the next goal for himself, which is to recruit senior talents for the power laboratory as much as possible and recruit middle and low-level talents for the engine laboratory.

In Carlo's mind, both laboratories should be equipped with at least 3 to 5 scientists plus dozens of technical talents with a certain knowledge reserve as assistants.

As the projects in the laboratory become more and more advanced, the number of staff in the laboratory is also increasing.

That is to say, everything is still in its infancy, and it is okay to have fewer people. This also constantly reminds Carlo that Spain is still short of relevant talents.

And it is not just in the field of electricity and engines, including the chemical industry, physics and chemistry, and other industries. Spain needs a large number of low-end and mid-end talents to fill the gap.

Thinking of this, Carlo can no longer sit still.

Carlo called the director of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, Cardil, and gave him a new task, which was to go to various European countries to find those impoverished scientists and technical talents and invite them to immigrate to Spain.

If large-scale immigration is opened, it will be a burden for the current Spanish government.

The income of a large number of farmers in the country has not increased. At this time, attracting a large number of immigrants, in the eyes of the Spaniards, is it not just robbing their jobs?

So except for a small number of workers from Italy, Carlo does not intend to let the Spanish government open immigration channels and attract a large number of immigrants.

The workers introduced from Italy are engaged in more extreme physical work, which is exactly what Spanish farmers are unwilling to do.

This will not make the Spaniards dissatisfied, after all, these jobs are not within their choice range.

It is precisely because of the problem that immigration will cause conflicts with the Spaniards that Carlo asked Cardil to accurately find those impoverished scientists and technical talents, and introduce a group of low-end talents that Spain is currently in urgent need of through quality over quantity, and at the same time find scientists who may be attracted to Spain.
