Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Mr. Kodak is the general manager of the Technology R\u0026D Department of the Netherlands United Industries Group, but he also has another identity, that is, the vice president of the Netherlands United Industries Group. He is one of the only five vice presidents with real power besides the president.

Also, he noticed what Mendeleev said just now. What does it mean to let him participate in leading a project plan? In other words, Mendeleev in front of him will be one of the leaders of a new project?

In an instant, he felt a little ashamed of his pride just now. Just now, he was still feeling good about himself as an employee of a subsidiary of the Dutch United Industries Group. Now, Mendeleev in front of him was shocking, like lightning. He felt a little proud of himself.

Well, I have to say, he was instantly paraffinized.

At this moment, two people wearing very formal suits and collars appeared not far away from him. They were holding placards with this name on them. They seemed to be waiting for someone. The two of them looked like each other. The valuable clothing attracted many people at the dock.

Obviously, someone who is worthy of the wait of two people must have a high status.

Suddenly, Zeskakiv saw the name above clearly, and his eyes bulged. At this moment, Mendeleev looked over and said with an apology on his face: "Mr. Zeskakiv, the person who is waiting for me is here." There, let’s go there first.”

Although Zeskakiev is a nice person, he also attaches great importance to face, so in these years he has only been a middle-level manager of a subsidiary of the Dutch United Industries Group.

Originally, with his character, he would have left in anger or inferiority complex due to face issues, but today I don't know what he was thinking, but he seemed to be possessed by a ghost. After choosing to nod, he followed him.

Mendeleev glanced at the other party seriously, and then walked towards the two people over there.

Zeskakiev was lucky this time.

Because of this encounter with Mendeleev, he gained connections in the head office and eventually became one of the leaders of the subsidiary.

It can be regarded as stepping into becoming one of the senior leaders of the Dutch United Industry Group.

Mendeleev came to Melbourne this time and was reused. Later, his family was brought here one after another. Therefore, he lived here for 30 years until his death in 1907.

Melbourne, Australia, Royal Palace of the Netherlands.

William IV knew about Mendeleev's arrival in Port Melbourne.

Who makes this a very important figure for the future of the Netherlands?

On March 11, 1869, Mitri.I. Mendeleev, a professor at St. Petersburg University and born in 1834, was preparing to travel to Kalinin. He concentrated on writing the textbook "Principles of Chemistry" and secretly formulated the always erudite scientific promotion program of the Tsarist Russian Empire. plan, and was also commissioned to develop methods for making farmhouse cheese.

At that time, his textbook was writing about the classification of chemical elements. For this reason, he needed to find a system to classify and distinguish various elements. On March 1, he suddenly had inspiration and found a way. Arrange various elements into a table according to their atomic weight and the same characteristics among them.

But in the Tsarist Russian Empire, it did not gain much attention.

This made Mendeleev very sad.

After all, something that doesn't win people's approval makes everyone doubt themselves.

Although Mendeleev attended the first International Chemistry Congress held in Karlsruhe nine years later, in 1866, at the meeting, the Italian Stanislao Canizzaro reminded him of the elements ranked according to their atomic weight. surface.

But that was it, but that first impact, Mendeleev has been playing some kind of intellectual card game ever since, arranging various elements according to their atomic valence and different properties.

He eventually combined Stanislao Canizzaro's method of classification and grouping with his own, resulting in the earliest form of the periodic table. This was how he expressed it when he was studying chemistry in his previous life.

Before Mendeleev, people's understanding of chemical elements was fragmented. Ancient people identified 10 real elements, but their understanding of the four elements of earth, fire, air, and water was intertwined. Lavoisier distinguished 23 elements, and Humphrey Dawe separated sodium and potassium electrolytically. In 1860, Canizzaro listed 60 elements in Karlsruhe's table of elements, which was exactly two-thirds of the 90 elements existing in nature.

But Mendeleev's discovery did not win much direct support, even from some of the most important chemists in Britain and Germany. Some undergraduates, including Mendeleev's former colleagues at Heidelberg University, refused to accept Mendeleev's invention.

It was precisely because of this that when he met with Mark Cohen, the president of the Dutch United Industries Group, last year, he reminded the other party. In the end, the other party did not disappoint him, and indeed abducted Mendeleev, who had no talent, to Australia.

In the original history, Mendeleev's opportunity came in 1879. A Frenchman identified a new element called "gallium". Mendeleev was able to prove this new element and he was able to predict its existence. , one of six unknown elements with atomic weight and properties.

By this time the Russian imperial theorist had proven his theory beyond the laboratory, to the astonishment of the entire international chemical community, and international fame and wealth followed.

His future invention of the atomic structure, and his belief that the theory of radiology contradicted his periodicity of the elements, later proved to be radiology that ultimately confirmed his great discovery that the atoms of each element contained The number of electrons is closely related to its atomic number and chemical properties.

In short, when Mendeleev came to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, he would be luckier than the unsatisfactory experience in the Russian Empire in his previous life, because he met a poor man like himself. As long as he continued to provide the other party with sufficient resources, then even if he could not achieve the goal, He is a figure like Einstar, but he is still enough to become one of the top figures in the future chemical world.

As for the effects of these elements, any modern person of later generations will know what this means.

This lays the foundation for the future of Dutch industrial technology, which will be the largest fundamental base. What attracted the most attention to William IV was that as long as a Dutch chemical industry system was established with Mendeleev, a leading figure in the chemical industry, as the center, it would be possible to completely establish a chemical industry system that could compete with Germany in a short time.

Even surpass each other.

In the future industry, chemistry is definitely the most important basic science. As long as the foundation is laid solidly, the industries and sciences derived in the future will move forward steadily. Think about the future generations of our motherland's semiconductor chips that will be suppressed one after another. The reason was caused by the lack of basic scientific foundation in the West, so William IV naturally tried to avoid a similar situation happening in the Netherlands.
