Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1583
Nyasaran Bank's generosity far exceeded Robert Goddard's expectations.

When he was in the United States, Robert Goddard and his team were ridiculed by the media as "moon men". His research was not understood, he was not favored by investors, and he did not even have the opportunity to meet investors .

After receiving funding from Nyasaland Bank, Robert Goddard was confident. He didn't need to impress investors with urgent results, and he had enough time to slowly improve his rocket. At this time, Robert Goddard Dudd also finally has the ability to apply more ideas to his rocket.

To Robert Goddard's surprise, Southern Africa's emphasis on rockets far exceeded Robert Goddard's imagination. When Robert Goddard stepped off the plane, the people who came to greet Robert Goddard not only There were only representatives of Nyasaland University, but also a few Southern African military personnel.

"Hi Professor Goddard, I'm Kevin Pegg from Nyasaland University, welcome to Nyasaland." Kevin Pegg is Abramovich's secretary and is responsible for receiving Robert Goddard.

"Hello, Mr. Pegg—" Robert Goddard was a little flattered. Speaking of which, this was Robert Goddard's first time flying on an airplane, and this was a new experience for Robert Goddard.

Robert Goddard was delayed at the airport for a while, his luggage was not dragged away by the luggage cart, but was directly loaded into the car by several soldiers. Robert Goddard was not too surprised by this, he thought it was inherent process.

"Professor Goddard, from now on, your research will be in a highly confidential state, and your laboratory will also be protected by the military. These materials are highly confidential, and I hope you can understand." Kevin Pegg offered He explained that the use of rockets for long-distance transportation is just a joke, and it is impossible to go to the moon to mine. Military use is what Roque values ​​most.

"Of course, no problem—" Robert Goddard fully agreed, although this would affect Robert Goddard's freedom to a certain extent, but this emphasis made Robert Goddard very useful.

Coming to Southern Africa with Robert Goddard, in addition to his team members, also included Robert Goddard's family.

He used this method to express his loyalty to southern Africa, and the United States really has nothing to miss for Robert Goddard.

Both Robert Goddard and his assistant, David Foster, were thrilled to sit in a car emblazoned with the Nyasaland University emblem.

David Foster's family remained in the United States and did not come to southern Africa with David Foster.

As for Robert Goddard's students, none of them had families yet, and no American would want to marry his daughter to a "moon man."

The car drove out of the airport and went directly to the expressway. The tall billboards and row upon row of high-rise buildings on both sides of the road surprised Robert Goddard. The American media reports on southern Africa were also full of discrimination and prejudice. Robert Goddard did not expect Southern Africa is no less developed than the United States.

"That's for sure, the US market is full of southern African goods, and the cars produced in southern Africa are better looking, better performing, and cheaper than Fords, so how can southern Africa be left behind -" David Foss Te didn't say anything, and with the integrity of the "Moon Man" in the "New York Times" at every turn, it's not unusual for this kind of thing to happen.

"Southern Africa, like the United States, has created an unparalleled economic miracle. The population of southern Africa is not as large as that of the United States, but it is almost on par with the United States in terms of higher education. The United States has not yet implemented compulsory education—" Robert Goddard was equally curious about southern Africa.

Many things in the United States are not as glamorous as they appear on the surface.

Take the American Civil War as an example. At that time, in order to gain the support of black Americans, Lincoln decided to abolish slavery in the United States and gave blacks and whites the same political status.

Now it seems that this is just a fantasy. In the most stubborn states in the southern United States, slavery was restored immediately after the withdrawal of the Northern Army. Until the 20s, many states in the southern United States were still implementing the racial segregation policy.

Compulsory education in the United States is a huge tragedy. Don't even say that blacks in the United States cannot enjoy compulsory education. Even for whites, compulsory education is not popular.

Moreover, the public schools in the United States are completely different from the public schools in southern Africa. The rich send their children to private schools to receive elite education, while the children of poor whites can only herd sheep in public schools.

As for the "quality education" advocated by the United States, it is an outright lie, just to cover up the laissez-faire of American public schools, which has nothing to do with quality education.

"Compulsory education has been implemented in southern Africa since 20 years ago. Now, 15% of children under the age of 90.00 receive education in southern Africa. If parents refuse to let their children receive compulsory education, they must bear corresponding legal responsibilities. In fact, this This kind of situation rarely happens, especially for Chinese families, the enthusiasm of Chinese people for education is surprising, and 80.00% of the students at Nyasaland University are Chinese.” Kevin Pegg and Goddard, Foss It's no surprise that they are in the same car.

Almost every European or American who comes to Southern Africa will be surprised by the current situation in Southern Africa.

Even though the strength of southern Africa has been obvious to all, the term "Africa" ​​seems to be associated with backwardness and ignorance.

Not to mention the Americans, they have always been self-centered, and the whole world revolves around the United States.

European colonial thinking is also deeply rooted. For Europe, Africa is the source of raw materials and an adventure playground. Now some people put Africans in cages for exhibitions in Europe, just like a caravan circus.

"Nyasaland University is indeed a miracle. I heard a lot about Nyasaland University during my time at Princeton University." Robert Goddard worked at Princeton University.

Today’s Princeton University does not have the dazzling aura that it had later, and its status in the United States is far inferior to that of Harvard and Yale. The Ivy League schools did not appear until 1956. 30 years ago, Princeton was called the College of New Jersey.

"Princeton University is also good, especially their discussion and research courses, which are very creative." Kevin Pegg has a deep understanding of American universities, and the discussion and research courses were added during President Woodrow Wilson's tenure as president.

In 1902, Woodrow Wilson served as the president of Princeton University. In 05, a discussion research course was added, replacing the original large classroom course with a more personal group student-teacher discussion method.

Nyasaland University is inclusive and has also introduced discussion and research courses, which have achieved good results.

Of course, Princeton University is in the past for Robert Goddard. Kevin Pegg didn't want to talk too much, so the conversation changed to Nyasaland University's arrangement for Robert Goddard.

"Your research project has received strong attention from the Ministry of National Defense, so your laboratory was jointly established by the Ministry of National Defense and Nyasaland University. Originally, the Ministry of National Defense meant to put your laboratory in Milna City, where more It is safe and the conditions are good, but the principal still hopes that your laboratory can be placed in Nyasaland University, which is more conducive to your research-by the way, do you have any special requirements for assistants or students? ?” Kevin Pegg knows the situation of Robert Goddard’s team, and only five people are definitely not enough for rocket research.

"Rocket is a brand-new project, and no one has ever studied it before, so I have no requirements for assistants and students, as long as they are willing to join-" Robert Goddard is not demanding, which is also understandable. Goddard has fallen to that point, and someone willing to join Robert Goddard's team would be nice.

"Professor, I can only say that you don't know enough about Nyasaland University." Kevin Pegg made a joke, and soon Robert Goddard understood why.

Nyasaland University now has more than 1 students. Even though the rocket is a brand new project with no future in sight, the number of students willing to join Robert Goddard's laboratory should not be too many. Diligence, intelligence, studious as the standard, then almost every student of Nyasaland University is qualified.

The car came to Nyasaland University, and the scale of the villa prepared for the professor has been expanded again and again. Robert Goddard is definitely qualified to live in the villa, but the students of David Foster and Robert Goddard Just live in an apartment.

Fortunately, the conditions of the apartment are also very good, with an elegant environment and complete supporting facilities. There is a dedicated person responsible for cleaning, and you can go to restaurants if you don’t want to cook. The catering industry in southern Africa is relatively developed, which is also well known.

Considering that David Foster is already married, the apartment allocated to David Foster is a two-bedroom apartment with all the furniture, so he can really move in with his bags.

David Foster is very satisfied with the apartment, but he still needs time to investigate before deciding whether to let his family also come to Nyasaland.

Rock was visiting Nikola Tesla at the New Yorker Hotel when Robert Goddard's team settled in Nyasaland.

This time the Bureau of Investigation officials did not show up at all, and it was Hoover who accompanied Roque to visit Nikola Tesla.

When seeing Nikola Tesla walking tremblingly and needing someone to help him, Rock really had mixed feelings in his heart.

Such a great god actually lives in such a hotel, Rock doesn't know what to say.

Maybe this is life.
