Chapter 973： Panama Canal

James failed in Zhao Benquan, but he did not fail all the time.

Not everyone cares about national pride as much as Zhao Benquan. There are many profit-seeking people in this world.

When James paid out three or four times his salary, the workers were still tempted.

However, it is not easy for them to leave unless they can get a ransom.

Most of the skilled workers in Dahua were trained by capitalists who provided accommodation, tuition, and even wage subsidies. They signed contracts before training, and they had to work for them for many years before they could freely change jobs.

Otherwise, you will have to pay liquidated damages.

And this penalty is very high, a full five thousand yuan.

This money was naturally given by James quietly.

James dug up two ordinary workers and did not continue. After all, the funds for the activities were limited.

The loss of two skilled workers has little impact on Dahua.

Moreover, this kind of thing is impossible to prevent, and there is no way to prevent it.

This is really unnecessary. Strengthening the management and control of those core talents is the limit.

The removal of skilled workers is actually a trivial matter, for fear that those researchers who have mastered the core technology will be removed.

Although such examples are rare, there are in fact.

Of course, in order to dig these people, other countries have also paid an unimaginable price.

For example, a Viscount in France, when digging a researcher working on steam engines in Dahua, the researcher caught sight of the wife of the Lord Viscount at a glance.

Liu Shiping, who has a special hobby, doesn't want anything, he wants the wife of the Viscount Lord.

The Viscount Lord was also a ruthless person, and for the sake of his purpose, he did not scrutinize any means, so he abruptly gave his wife to him.

Then, Liu Shiping went to France with the Viscount, and now he is manufacturing and improving steam engines for France during the day, and sleeping with the Viscount’s wife at night.

He didn't allow the woman to divorce the Viscount Lord, so he would wear a green hat to the Viscount Lord all day long.

The French who knew the inside story didn't know whether to admire or sympathize with the Viscount, or laughed.

With Liu Shiping's guidance, France's steam engine research quickly made it to the next level and caught up with Great Britain.

In the follow-up research, it is even ahead of Great Britain.

This caused the high-levels of other countries to stare, wondering whether they would also use similar methods to recruit some talents from Dahua.

Fortunately, weird strangers like Liu Shiping are only a few after all, and most of the researchers are normal people. Even if it's a little bit weird, it's not like Liu Shiping's.

In order to tap the talents of Dahua, other countries have exhausted their minds and exhausted their means.

High-ranking officials are generous, that is the most gentle, and the lowest. The cost is high and the effect is mediocre.

The beauty offensive is about the same, the cost is small, and the effect is average.

There is also the problem of seizing those talents, such as corruption and bribery, such as the loss of personal morality, etc., relying on these criminal evidence, threatening those talents to provide them with technology or other intelligence.

This method has low cost and poor effect.

People from other countries are digging for talents from Dahua, but Dahua is actually digging for talents from other countries. Everyone is the same.

In contrast, Dahua is much easier to dig talents from other countries, and it can even fool a lot of people with ideals.

In the words of those underground workers, Nanjing has the best scientific research atmosphere, the best research conditions, and the most advanced technology.

These few alone are enough to attract many talents to Nanjing.

Moreover, Dahua can openly dig talents from other countries. Other countries know about it, and at most they protest.

But other countries have to be cautious when digging for Dahua talents.

Once exposed, they will be taken into prison by Dahua's Intelligence Bureau. No matter how their country’s embassy protests, they will not let anyone go.

However, other countries make a symbolic disturbance, scold and scold them, and then they will be over after giving an explanation to the country.

It is completely impossible to go to war with Dahua for this matter.

At the same time, the Panama Canal was officially completed and opened to navigation.

The Panama Canal is much shorter than the Suez Canal, but the shortened voyage is more than that of the Suez Canal.

After North America develops, the importance and economic value of this canal will be even higher than that of the Suez Canal.

However, the center of the world is Majestic China and Western Europe, so the importance of the Panama Canal is far less important than the Suez Canal.

Only because the scale of the project was smaller, Dahua started construction two years ago and finally completed it after two years.

As the locks were lowered, the first ship to test sail entered the canal.

Unlike the sea level waterway of the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal has locks, and the water surface of the canal is much higher than the sea.

This is because the water levels of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are different.

Most people may feel that the water level on the sea should be the same at first impression, but in fact it is not the case.

The sea level is affected by many factors, including gravity, centrifugal force, and solid tide.

In the seas near Sri Lanka, because of its thick underwater crust and strong gravitational force, the seawater here can be about 100 meters higher than the water surface of other seas, forming a convex water area.

In the sea area near Iceland, because of the low gravity, the water surface here is sixty to seventy meters lower than the water surface in other places, forming a sunken ‘basin’.

The sensory impressions of ordinary people are often wrong. For example, most people who have not learned about Panama in detail will think that the Panama Canal is the east-west direction through the location of Panama, the Pacific and the Atlantic in their brains.

But in fact, the Panama Canal is north-south.

The water level of the Atlantic Ocean is higher than that of the Pacific Ocean. If the Panama Canal is not equipped with sluices, then the water from the Atlantic Ocean will flow to the Pacific Ocean.

In this way, the water in the canal will have a flow rate, which will make it very dangerous for large ships to pass through the canal, and will easily run out of control and crash into both sides of the canal.

Because the canal is small, it can only allow large ships to pass through. If the 10,000-ton giant ship is affected by the current, its terrible inertia, coupled with no brakes, will be very dangerous when the ship passes through the canal.

At present, the Panama Canal is designed to pass 70,000 tons of huge ships, but if there are really 50,000 to 60 tons of huge ships entering the canal, they must be towed to pass, rather than relying on the ship's own power.

In the afternoon, the first trial ship passed the canal and entered the Caribbean Sea.
