Poaching

Sometimes, one has to admit that talent is the greatest factor in determining a person's ability.

Although Szilard was only thirty-four years old, his abilities were by no means low even within the Royal Academy of Sciences, and he certainly ranked among the very best of physicists.

According to Einstein's report, after Szilard joined the research and development of nuclear weapons, his unrestrained train of thought created several new problem-solving methods for previous dilemmas and indeed resolved several issues that had troubled the project team for a long time.

This not only accelerated the R&D progress of nuclear weapons, but also gave the scientists on the research team much more momentum.

Precisely because of this, with Arthur's permission, Einstein gave Szilard heavier responsibilities.

After Szilard proved his ability to the other scientists on the R&D project team, he was appointed as the deputy leader of the nuclear weapons R&D project team, and his primary research field was changed to the construction of nuclear reactors.

The reason Arthur agreed to give Szilard such an important position, besides trusting his ability, was also in the hope that he would outpace history, conceive a nuclear chain reaction earlier, and build the most fundamental nuclear reactor based on it.

With a nuclear reactor, more than half of the research into nuclear weapons would effectively be completed. Furthermore, as long as a nuclear reactor could be built, a Nuclear Power Plant could be constructed accordingly, which would also be of great help to the laying of Australasia's power grid.

Australasia was vast and sparsely populated, and the central and western regions of Australia still had vast deserts, making them prime locations for building nuclear reactors.

Especially given the presence of many small lakes in the deserts, this could not only solve the cooling problem of
