After graduation, I worked at San Matteo Hospital and dedicated myself to the study of nervous system diseases,\" Camillo Golgi nodded and replied very respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent, Mr. Golgi,\" Yu Kaluo smiled. There were not many medical professionals in Spain engaged in research on the nervous system; this was truly finding a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spain also has corresponding medical schools. If you do not mind, you can serve as a special invited professor at these institutions first,\" Yu Kaluo thought for a moment and began arranging Golgi’s work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain is built, you may also apply to join the Royal Academy to engage in medical research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any researcher who joins the Royal Academy can apply for project research funding at the Academy to assist with your research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will have someone arrange your accommodation, preferably somewhere close to where you work. Mr. Golgi, welcome to Spain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is my honor to come to Spain. I will certainly devote myself entirely to my research to thank Your Majesty for your trust in me,\" Camillo Golgi nodded hurriedly, expressing his gratitude to Yu Kaluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Camillo Golgi had displayed extraordinary talent during his studies at medical school, Italy did not place such high importance on medical talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Camillo Golgi to enter his alma mater, the University of Pavia, as a professor, he would have to achieve certain breakthroughs in his research projects and gain a certain reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yu Kaluo had immediately allowed him to serve as a professor at a Spanish medical school and even permitted him to apply to a prestigious scientific research organization like the Royal Academy of Sciences of Spain; the trust placed in him was evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Mr. Golgi. If you have friends you know at the University of Pavia, you may invite them to Spain as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am quite welcoming of you talents in medical research, and they can also enjoy treatment similar to yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please rest assured, as long as you have sufficient ability, I will provide enough research funding for your medical studies and will not overly interfere with your research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress of medicine is beneficial to the whole world. I hope we can work together to promote the progress of human medicine, allowing people all over the world to enjoy more advanced medical standards to treat those previously incurable diseases.\" The University of Pavia was quite famous in Italy, and the friends Camillo Golgi knew were at least not ordinary people of mediocre ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were only medical workers of a good standard, poaching them to Spain was not a loss at all. After all, there were not that many good doctors in this era, and even the doctor training system was not sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can try, Your Majesty,\" Camillo Golgi nodded, but fearing that failing to bring people over would cause Yu Kaluo’s blame, he hurriedly added, \"However, I am not sure if anyone will be willing to travel thousands of miles to Spain, but I will try my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kaluo smiled. The relationships between these people doing scientific research were not that complicated; perhaps Camillo Golgi really could call people over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the conditions Yu Kaluo offered were considered quite top-tier throughout Europe. The attraction for top-level scientists might not be that great, but for ordinary scientists, it was still extremely attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleet’s docking point was in Valencia, and one could return to the capital, Madrid, by train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he did not choose Barcelona in Catalonia, it could only be said that the separatists there were not quiet. For the sake of his own safety, Yu Kaluo preferred to choose Valencia as the docking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing the long, bumpy train ride, Yu Kaluo finally returned to the capital, Madrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this era already had relatively complete railways and trains, the speed of the trains was truly pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the mainstream train speed was kept at 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, and only particularly flat, straight railways could maintain a speed of around 30 kilometers per hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the carriage Yu Kaluo rode in was specially modified, featuring not only comfortable and luxurious large sofas but also a kitchen, bedroom, and areas including a conference room and office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at such a speed, it took more than ten hours to get from Valencia to Madrid, let alone for slightly longer journeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Spain’s railways basically connected several large cities and key areas, and if one were to run a circle around these cities, it would take at least several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Yu Kaluo was always reluctant to go out. Whether on land or at sea, a journey of several hundred kilometers took too much time; it was truly quite inconvenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kaluo was also looking forward immensely to the birth of automobiles and airplanes. Only after these two technologies achieved true commercial popularization would transportation methods be considered thoroughly reformed, and going out would be considered both comfortable and convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This visit to Italy only took half a month, and Madrid had not changed much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way from Valencia to Madrid, one could see many factories in the suburbs of Madrid constantly expanding, and there were large stretches of farmland between cities shimmering with golden light; it seemed this year was a year of double harvest for both industry and agriculture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Kaluo’s mood was quite wonderful. Currently, it seemed that Spain’s development was quite smooth. Although it would not immediately raise the comprehensive national strength too much, this kind of steady improvement was equally pleasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, one could also see Spaniards showing smiles; people were enjoying their current lives from the heart. After reducing various heavy taxes, the large number of Spanish farmers could finally catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were not yet living a good life, it was considered better than before. At least most of the Spanish farmers’ grain could remain in their own hands; whether sold for income or kept as rations, it made people feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10,000 words per day, 2\u002F7 days, 2,000\u002F10,000 words updated, please support!
