Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1181 Laboratory

Although the total area of ​​the Cocos Islands is 14.2 square kilometers, there is not much land that can be developed, and uninhabited coral reefs have to be removed. Overall, the plantation area is not large.

The suburbs of Pass are all high-quality farms, a total of 3500 acres, all of which are high-quality pastures. These 3500 acres are also the private property of the Clunish Ross family. Very satisfied with the arrangement.

Twain is more satisfied. Although the 3500 acres of land in the suburbs of Perth is not cheap, compared with a high-quality transfer station, no matter how high the price is, it is worth it. The Cocos Islands can only The development of a single plantation relies on the collection of copra for profit, but in the hands of Australian companies, the value of the Cocos Islands is infinitely magnified.

What I want to explain here is that the terrain of the Cocos Islands is similar to that of Zheng He Island, with a ring of coral reefs on the periphery and a huge central lagoon in the center.

In this way, the Cocos Islands, like Zheng He Island, have the potential to become a good natural harbor. Of course, Australian companies need to carry out more scientific transformation of the Cocos Islands so that the Cocos Islands can play a greater role.

Compared with the previous development of the Ardan Islands by the Adan Company, the Australian company also has more advantages.

With the experience of developing the Adan Islands, the first batch of staff who came to the Cocos Islands were all workers from Christian Construction Company. They wanted to build ports and airstrips in the Cocos Islands, and this work was to be completed within this year.

It is very simple to build an airport. Today's aircraft do not have high requirements for the airport. As long as the runway is basically flat, it can meet the take-off and landing requirements of large transport aircraft.

The port is relatively more difficult. The situation in the Cocos Islands and the Aldan Islands is similar. Basically, all construction materials must be imported from the outside. However, compared with the Aldan Islands, which are far away from the mainland, the Cocos Islands are only 800 kilometers away from the Straits Settlements. It is still much easier to transport building materials from the East Indies to the Cocos Islands than it was to transport building materials from southern Africa to the Ardan Islands.

No matter how Tang En carried out his work, Rock paid more attention to the development of Victoria and Dias than the investment of Australian companies.

In fact, after the occupation of Victoria and Dias from southern Africa, the development of Victoria and Dias has already begun. After 1916, most of the new immigrants were settled in Victoria and Dias, and many of them were in Victoria. And Dias bought land to become new farmers, and some people could only work for large farms in Victoria and Dias because they could not get loans from the Rand Bank.

The large farms here refer to those farms with an area of ​​more than [-] acres.

There are many such farms in Victoria and Dias, and they are basically the property of large companies such as the South African Company or Nyasaland Agricultural Company. The South African Company has more than 150 million hectares of farms in Victoria, which is about 1.5 in conversion. square kilometers, and Nyasaland Agricultural Company is about the same.

The person in charge of Nyasaland Agricultural Company in Victoria is Gao Wei. Gao Wei is a graduate of the Nyasaland University College of Agriculture. The current Nyasaland University College of Agriculture has separated from Nyasaland University. Coming out to become Nyasaran Agricultural College, Gao Wei came to Nyasaran Agricultural College at the end of April and found his former teacher, the current Nyasaran Agricultural College Dean Harrison McIntosh, hoping to facilitate Collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture.

"Gao, you are late. I'm sorry that I don't have any outstanding graduates for you, and there are not even many graduates with mediocre grades." Harrison McIntosh thought Gao Wei was here to ask for someone.

Harrison McIntosh and Gao Wei have a good relationship. Gao Wei's professional skills are not outstanding, but his organizational skills are excellent, so he can serve as the head of Nyasaland Agricultural Company in Victoria.

Nyasaland Agricultural College now has about 600 graduates every year. This number seems to be a lot, but it is actually not enough for Southern Africa, which has a total area of ​​550 million square kilometers in more than a dozen states.

Every year during the graduation season, the graduates of Nyasaland Agricultural College will be snatched up by the flocking federal governments at all levels and major agricultural companies. There is no need to worry about work problems. Many parents send their children to the Agricultural College to study. It is to manage their own farm better after graduation. As a result, the children find out that they will never return to work on their own farm after graduation. There is a wider world waiting for them outside.

The same is true for other colleges and universities separated from Nyasaland University. Although there are more and more students in southern Africa, the high level of education of Nyasaland University is recognized by everyone. Now Nyasaland All the institutions of higher learning in China can produce nearly [-] graduates every year, and these graduates are in short supply in the job market, and this situation has lasted for more than ten years.

"Professor, I'm not looking for you to ask for someone. I hope to promote the cooperation between the College of Agriculture and Nyasaland Agricultural Company. Our Nyasaland Agricultural Company has 180 million hectares of land in Victoria, including forests, grasslands, lakes, and swamps. , there are all kinds of terrains——" Gao Wei would not come to Harrison McIntosh if he wanted someone, and it would be more appropriate to go directly to the head office.

A considerable number of graduates of Nyasaland Agricultural College choose to work for Nyasaland Agricultural Company. Relatively speaking, Nyasaland Agricultural Company has relatively abundant human resources.

"Wait, Gao, our Agricultural College has cooperated with your Nyasaland Agricultural Company. Our cooperation has lasted for more than ten years." Harrison McIntosh was very dissatisfied with Gao Wei's performance. When Gao Wei was studying at the Agricultural College, he was an intern at Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and then worked for Nyasaland Agricultural Company as a matter of course.

"Professor, I know about these situations, but what I want to say is that I hope the College of Agriculture can have more in-depth cooperation with the Nyasaland Agricultural Company in Victoria. For example, the College of Agriculture can consider relocating some laboratories to the territory of Victoria. , and even part of the teaching work can be carried out in Victoria.” Gao Wei has high requirements, because he hopes that the Agricultural College can open a branch in Victoria.

"Hehehe, Gao, this is impossible. If it could be done, the branch campuses of the Agricultural College would have already spread all over southern Africa." Harrison McIntosh smiled wryly. He also wanted to open branch campuses all over southern Africa, but the conditions Not allowed.

Nyasaland Agricultural College now has a total of 15 laboratories, which are responsible for breeding improvement, introduction and innovation, etc. The work content of the laboratory is very complicated, basically covering agronomy, horticulture, plant protection, resources and environment, animal husbandry , veterinary medicine, aquatic products, and other disciplines.

According to the plan of the Agricultural College, this year the Agricultural College will set up two new laboratories, which will be responsible for the research of food science and engineering, and agricultural engineering respectively. Possibly in Victoria.

Although the industrial development in southern Africa is very good, the federal government has never relaxed its emphasis on agriculture.

In essence, southern Africa is still an agricultural country. Farm management is very important to southern Africa. During the World War, the agricultural products of southern Africa strongly supported the Allied Powers in defeating the Allies. After the World War, the relief and reconstruction of Europe, the agricultural products of southern Africa are still is playing an important role.

While agricultural products sell well in Europe, agricultural products in southern Africa are also facing competition from American agricultural products.

During the World War, the United States did not play an important role similar to another time and space. Southern Africa completely replaced the United States and became the mainstay of the Allies.

After the end of the World War, American products continued to try to open up the European market, but were also stubbornly attacked by southern African products. Now the United States can only rely on its price advantage to dump to some regions that southern Africa does not value.

Such as the Balkans, such as Russia, and such as North Africa.

Now Rock no longer cares about the specific operation of the farm, but puts the main energy on a higher level. Food science and engineering, and agricultural engineering are beneficial attempts made by Rock, and now southern Africa has solved the problem. In order to solve the problem of eating well, the next step is to start research on eating well.

"Professor, I'm talking about a part, a part—" Gao Wei emphasized that the Victoria branch is not qualified to compete with the head office for resources, but the head office eats meat, and the branch also needs some soup.

Southern Africa is also facing social problems such as unbalanced development among states, widening gap between rich and poor, and upgrading of environmental pollution industries. In the past, the development of southern Africa was dominated by the three northern states, but now the three northern states are reed Lanceva and Rhodesia have gradually fallen behind, and Nyasaland's strength is almost unmatched, ranking first in the entire southern Africa.

Roque now wants to maintain Nyasaland's leading position, but he cannot ignore the economic development of other states. After Adelaide leaves office, Roque is likely to succeed Adelaide as the prime minister of southern Africa. At that time, Roque will face even greater pressure .

It doesn't matter, there is pressure to have motivation. Now Europe can still rebuild with its own strength. If there is another world war, then European countries will lose the strength to rebuild, and southern Africa will play a greater role by then.

During this period of time now, Rock has to work hard on his internal skills, integrate Nyasaland's resources, continue to improve Nyasaland's scientific and technological strength, maintain Nyasaland's leading position in scientific research, and then promote the entire southern Africa to continue to develop forward.

In order to ensure Nyasaland's leadership, the addition of laboratories in the Agricultural College is just a microcosm. In fact, during this period of time, scientific research institutions and institutions of higher learning throughout Nyasaland are making adjustments to meet the needs of future development.

ps: It’s the last day, during the rainy season, the ticket will get moldy if left alone——
