Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Yannick originally wanted to learn from Corporal Liu Beili and appoint talented people with humility (regardless of whether it was for show), but he didn't know that he came at the wrong time. Dr. Einstein's lecture had just started ten minutes ago. This lecture was enough. He spoke for two hours.

As a result, he couldn't give up halfway. When his back ached, Dr. Einstein announced the end of get out of class.

Seeing the students exiting the lecture theater in an orderly manner and going back to their respective classes to prepare for the next class, Yannick couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, moved his somewhat stiff limbs, and walked into the classroom.

Dr. Einstein, who was sorting out the lesson plans on the podium, noticed the two people walking over and asked. "Excuse me, what can you two do?"

Yannick performed a standard noble gentleman's courtesy. "Hello, Dr. Einstein, I am Yannick Hohenzollern, and I am here to visit you."

"Hohenzollern?" Dr. Einstein didn't seem to react. He muttered twice before suddenly reacting. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

You fucked so loudly, Yannick looked around subconsciously, and nodded after making sure there was no one else. "Exactly."

Dr. Einstein asked, slightly embarrassed. "I wonder what your Highness has to do with me?"

Although Einstein opposed the imperial system, these ten years also allowed him to see clearly the incompetence of the government and the dire livelihood of the common people, and his ideas also changed a little bit. The German people were still living in dire straits, far worse than when Wilhelm II was in power. And there have been rumors everywhere recently that if Germany restored the emperor system, the situation might be much better. Einstein was not disgusted with such rumors. He thought that if William II could completely give up his crazy ambition to conquer the world and concentrate on governing Germany, the situation in Germany might really improve a lot.

Therefore, he had no hostility toward Yannick's visit, but was just curious about his purpose.

Yannick looked at the time. It was still early for lunch, so it was not easy to invite him to talk while eating, so he simply said straight to the point. "Doctor, I have studied the mass-energy formula E=mc2 you proposed. From that formula, it can be deduced that we can directly convert part of the mass of matter into huge energy that can be directly utilized by humans."

Einstein seemed to be stimulated by the words "huge energy". He frowned slightly and asked cautiously. "Then how does His Highness the Crown Prince want to use this energy?"

Humph, if I were to use it to make mushroom bombs for growing mushrooms in other countries, you would definitely jump up and object, right? "I think this kind of energy will replace coal and oil and become a new energy source. It is not difficult to see that the heat released by this reaction is much higher than the energy released by burning fossil fuels (the difference is about a million times)." For example , a nuclear power plant uses 80 tons of nuclear fuel every year, which can be transported by only 2 standard containers. If coal is used, 5.15 million tons will be needed, and 20-ton trucks will be needed to transport 705 cars per day. If natural gas is used, 1.43 million tons are needed, which is equivalent to burning 200,000 barrels of household gas every day.

Yannick revealed the purpose of his trip. "I want to establish a super energy research department and hire you as the head."

Einstein neither agreed nor refused, but gave an ambiguous answer. "Your Highness Yannick, can you allow me to think about it for a few days?"

Consider your sister. Yannick didn't want to beat around the bush with him, so he simply made it clear. "Doctor is worried that this energy can be used for weapons?"

"..." Although Einstein does not have the concept of nuclear weapons now, he is not called a genius for nothing. He could fully imagine that if this energy was used in military weapons, it would definitely be a world-destroying super weapon comparable to the Pandora Box. Once this kind of weapon appears, it may pose a huge threat to human existence.

If technology develops in the future to the point where a rifle bullet has the power of an artillery shell, and an aerial bomb is enough to destroy a city, then the demise of mankind is no longer alarmist.

"Doctor, do you know why there are constant wars in human society?" Yannick said first without waiting for Einstein to speak. "I think war is caused by geographical environment, that is, by fighting for a certain living space and natural resources. But what if one day we suddenly have inexhaustible land, inexhaustible mineral deposits, and inexhaustible energy , then do we still need to go to war?"

Dr. Einstein shook his head in confusion. "But Your Highness, our earth is only so big and our energy is limited, but our population keeps growing."

Yannick couldn't help but snap his fingers. "You were right when you said that the population will continue to grow. You know that the world's population exceeded 1 billion in 1830, and now the world's population has exceeded 2 billion. With the advancement of medicine, the birth rate will increase , the mortality rate will decrease, and we can boldly predict that the world's population will exceed 3 billion in 30 years, and will exceed 6 billion in 50 years. How many people do you think our earth can sustain?"

"..." Einstein had never considered this issue before and did some serious calculations. Halfway through the calculation, he discovered another problem. "Your Highness Yannick, I think the number of people on the earth is not a problem. The biggest problem is the scale and nature of resource consumption." The population may really continue to grow, but the earth will not get bigger along with it. All resources - food, water, energy - are limited, and the number of people depends on their support. Once these resources are exhausted, the end of mankind will come.

Yannick nodded. "Yes, so we need to find endless resources so that humans can continue to thrive and survive."

Yannick kept emphasizing the inexhaustible resources, and Einstein couldn't help but wonder. "Where are the endless resources you mentioned? Undersea or underground?"

"You can see it just by looking up." Yannick smiled slightly and raised his hand to point to the sky. "The endless resources I'm talking about are the starry sky above our heads. The universe will be the last frontier of mankind. Only by moving towards the universe can we avoid the fate of destruction."

Looking at Einstein's shocked expression, Yannick couldn't help but feel happy. "If human beings want to explore the universe, they must first leave the earth. This is only the first step. The second is to land on the moon, then Mars, and then the entire solar system. And in the further future, our steps will eventually go beyond the solar system. Set foot on the sea of ​​stars. And the super energy in your formula may be the driving force for us humans to explore the universe."

Even though his mouth was dry and he didn't see any happy reaction from the other party, Yannick gradually became impatient. "If Dr. Einstein has always insisted on your narrow and pedantic world view, then I have nothing to say. But I have something to say to you. You and I are just specks of dust in the universe. If you think you can do it by yourself, It would be a big mistake to change the course of history by force. It is just like no one can change the flow of a big river. Maybe some accidental factors may change the direction of the river, but in the end it will eventually return to where it was. The direction we should go. This is the law of nature and the inevitability of history! Those who cannot keep up with the trend of history can only call it pedantic!!"

After saying these words, Yannick saluted the stunned Dr. Einstein, turned around and left.
