Chapter 1619
Why do democratic countries still have lords?

This question is difficult to explain. The question is that the British Empire has its own national conditions. In fact, the United States is not much better. I didn’t see that a Wall Street tycoon would marry his daughter to a British aristocrat.

Specifically in southern Africa, a lord like Roque is not only not a remnant of feudalism, but the pride of all Nyasalandians.

It can be said that without Rock, there would be no southern Africa, which is recognized by all southern Africans.

Especially for Gao Fei, a child who was brought to southern Africa by Rock in his early years.

Organizations such as Nyasaland Immigration Bureau and Christian Human Resources Company are still using various methods to bring people to southern Africa, some are picked up, some are bought from human traffickers, and some are from They were exchanged for a bag of potatoes from their biological parents, and some were snatched directly from warlords.

You must know that in the Far East, the proportion of boy scouts is still very high.

This boy scout is different from the boy scouts in southern Africa. The boy scouts in southern Africa are a charity organization, and the boy scouts in the Far East are like "San Mao Congjun Ji".

After these children came to Southern Africa, they were well taken care of by governments at all levels of the Southern African Federation and social charities. If they were not adopted, they would receive a comprehensive education as a boy scout, and the federal government and charities would pay for their lives. And education expenses, when they grow up and have the ability to work, they will gradually return the expenses. Gao Fei will now pay fifteen rand a month to the foundation under Phyllis' name.

This is not just debt repayment. Even after paying off the money, Gao Fei will donate part of his income to the foundation under the name of Phyllis every month. However, this is not debt repayment, but a charitable donation. .

Gao Fei hopes that the foundation under Phyllis' name can use the money to help more people.

Although the charitable foundations in the United States and the United Kingdom are notorious, in southern Africa, the foundation under the name of Phyllis has a good reputation. People believe that Phyllis, the "Mrs. Nyasaland", will not waste Nyasaland people love.

"—So, can you now understand the feelings of the Nyasaland people towards the Marquis of Nyasaland? For us, he is not only the Marquis of Nyasaland in the British Empire, not just Nyasaland The lord is our elder brother, our patron saint, and our spiritual pillar!" Gao Fei really wasn't sycophanting, and since Roque was not present, Roque couldn't hear what he said.

If Rock was present, Gao Fei would not be able to say these words. Some people's feelings are from the heart, and some people's feelings are just acting on the spot.

"So, your affection for the Marquis of Nyasaland is because the Marquis of Nyasaland gave you the life you have now." After all, George has only been in Nyasaland for a short time, so he can't understand Gao Fei's feelings for Roque .

This is probably the so-called "three incompatibility". It is very difficult for an American to understand the feelings of a Chinese in southern Africa. Kill all the benefactors, and then set up a "Thanksgiving Day" hypocritically, to thank the Indians for their help to the Americans.

That's why we say, don't look at what Americans say, but look at how Americans do it. Some people are sanctimonious on the surface, but they steal men and women behind their backs.

Otherwise, how could there be such a word as "dressed beast".

"Partially correct. If you want to know more, I recommend you to read "Zeng Guang Xian Wen Zhu Zi's Family Instructions." Gao Fei deserves to read a lot of books.

Southern Africa has always been committed to the dissemination of Han culture, translating almost all ancient classics into other languages, and Nyasaland University is the main force.

Compared with Western culture, the Han culture with a long history is too bright. The only one who can chat with all kinds of scholars is ancient Greece. However, there is another term in the ancient Greek period called "Dark Age". attitude is evident.

As for the "Middle Ages" that lasted until the 15th century, a "Bible" can almost represent all of them.

Counting modern Western culture, that is to say, it started from the Renaissance.

"Zengguang Xianwen Zhuzi's Family Instructions" is also known as "Family Governance Maxims". From this name, we can see the status of "Zengguang Xianwen Zhuzi's Family Instructions". This book has only 524 characters. The enlightenment textbook of family morality also has strong practical significance in southern Africa.

"Zengguang Xianwen Zhuzi's Family Instructions, yes, I will read it when I have time." George's answer was a little perfunctory, and he still doesn't know the value of this book for personal moral cultivation.

Early the next morning, the car that Rock and Kitchener were in had already driven into Yushu Road where the laboratory is located.

Yushu Road was named after Han Yushu, a student of Nyasaland University who died during the World War. During the whole World War, a total of 32 students who graduated from Nyasaland University or were studying at Nyasaland University died. Some of them died on the battlefield, some died of exhaustion at work, and some had no bones left, and they couldn't even find their nameplates.

There are many roads named after these warriors in Xuanji City, and there are commemorative sculptures on many roads.

"The graduates of Nyasaland University are still very bloody!" Kitchener couldn't help himself after learning about these situations.

Kitchener knew how much Roque valued Nyasaland University. Unlike the British nobles who wanted to be gilded on the battlefield, the war in Europe had nothing to do with Nyasaland University graduates. They could have had a bright future He would rather give up a stable life to join the army, which moved Kitchener inexplicably.

"The rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility! To the people of Nyasaland, these words are not just words." Rock is heartbroken. Ten years ago, the scale of Nyasaland University was far smaller than it is now. Every graduate Life is very precious.

"Great, Rock, I have never had more confidence in Nyasaland and Southern Africa—" Kitchener felt relieved, and Rock's words perfectly matched Kitchener's values.

The car drove into Yushu Road, and the road was lined with neat green belts and dense landscape trees. It is winter in southern Africa in July, and Nyasaland is located in the tropics and has a savannah climate, so it has not been greatly affected.

Yushu Road is not a commercial area, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, there are no shops on both sides of the road, but there are many parked cars.

Although Robert Goddard's laboratory covers a large area, there are not many people, and the parking lot is still very spacious. When Rock and Kitchener's car drove into the parking lot, Robert Goddard, David and The team members lined up at the door to greet him, and Rock offered to shake hands with Robert Goddard.

"Professor, welcome to Nyasaland. Please forgive me for my negligence. I haven't met you until now." Rock has great respect for Robert Goddard. There is no way for Robert Goddard to come to southern Africa. At that time, Roque was still attending the Imperial Conference in London.

"Lord, thank you very much for your care. You treat me like a gentleman, and I will repay you—"

Who said that Americans will not flatter?

Robert Goddard said this in Chinese, can you believe it!

Looking at people's awareness, I don't know how long Robert Goddard secretly learned Chinese for this sentence.

That's right, if you want to truly integrate into southern Africa, you must at least learn Chinese, and George still has a long way to go in this regard.

"Come on, let's take a look at your rocket. Locke mentioned you a lot along the way." Kitchener was rude, and he didn't have much respect for Robert Goddard.

Speaking of rockets, some research has already begun in southern Africa, and the installation of helicopters into rocket launchers is one of the research results of the southern African military.

However, the rocket installed on the helicopter is not the same as Robert Goddard's rocket.

The rocket used on the helicopter does not have much technical content, and the purpose of pursuit is to kill the enemy.

The rocket studied by Robert Goddard is deep space travel, and the meaning is different, and the value is naturally different.

In the hall on the first floor of the Institute, two rockets, one large and one small, are placed side by side in the center of the hall. The smaller one is the rocket that Robert Goddard studied when he was in the United States, and the larger one is the rocket that Robert Goddard came to Nigeria. An improved version after Asaran.

From the outside, the improved model is about three times larger than the previous basic model.

"The current rocket has a length of 12.7 meters, a weight of 35 kilograms, and a flight altitude of at least 500 meters. The rocket flies higher and farther—” Robert Goddard was full of pride when he introduced the rocket. These data are actually not very outstanding, but it is already a huge leap compared with the previous rocket.

In another time and space, when Robert Goddard first tested the rocket, the rocket flew straight to a height of 12.5 meters, the flight lasted about 2.5 seconds, and the flight distance was 56 meters.

Even so, it was a successful experiment, heralding the birth of modern rocketry.

Now with more sufficient funds and better conditions, Robert Goddard should pursue more perfect data, at least not worse than the military's rocket data.

"Very good, then let's go to the launch site now to see how the rocket is performing." Rock was neither sad nor happy, and he didn't have much excitement to witness history. In the eyes of Robert Goddard, such calmness was like It has become the eight winds that are unique to those in high positions.

"Poker Face" in a nutshell.

The rocket launch site is located in a farm on the outskirts of Xuanji City. The military and police have cleared all the area around the launch site in advance. Two helicopters have also been on standby at the launch site in advance. This thing cannot be lost, and if it falls into the hands of a caring person, many things can be deduced.
