Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1745 Windfall
The Nikola Tesla Institute is located in a four-story building at the end of Silver Beach Road in Los Angeles.

The research institute covers an area of ​​about 5 hectares, which is about 75 mu in conversion, which is really rare in Los Angeles, where every inch of land is expensive.

The institute has more than 200 staff members, including 165 scientific researchers and 12 security personnel. Although it seems a bit small, the Yintan Road Police Substation is actually next door, so the security is still guaranteed.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, when Shen Simiao drove the Matilda sedan he had just bought to the institute, the parking lot was already full of cars.

The remuneration of the Nikola Tesla Institute is very good. Even the researchers who have just joined the work have an annual salary of more than 500 rand, so most of the cars purchased by the researchers are around 500 rand, and of course there are prices The price of an expensive high-end car is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Cars are a means of transportation in southern Africa, and few people pursue things other than practicality, unless they are businessmen who need to show their strength.

Of course, there are also young people who pursue individuality. For example, Shen Simiao did not buy Diesel, which is cheap and affordable, but Matilda, a subsidiary of Nyasaland Heavy Industries.

The Nikola Tesla Research Institute has cooperated with Nyasaland Heavy Industries, so the staff of the research institute can purchase Matilda at a relatively low price, and it can also be purchased in installments.

"Ha, senior, you're going to be late, tell me the truth, did you go to watch the game last night?" In the parking lot, Shen Simiao happened to meet Bruce who also just started working.

Bruce and Shen Simiao also graduated from Nyasaland University. Shen Simiao was Bruce's senior and enrolled a few years earlier than Bruce. However, because Shen Simiao studied for a Ph.D., she graduated later than Bruce.

"Aren't you the same!" Shen Simiao hurried, last night was the weekend, Nyasaland Hawks played against Edward Autobots at home, Shen Simiao, as a loyal Hawks fan, must be there to watch the game.

"Yesterday was really thrilling. If it wasn't for Pique's goal in the last minute, we wouldn't have scored three points—" Bruce is also a Hawks fan. Like Shen Simiao, he is also a season ticket holder for the Eagles.

True fans don't want to miss a game, and buying season tickets is the best way to support your team.

The price of tickets for Eagles games varies according to the location. The most expensive is definitely the stadium box, which costs more than [-] rand per year.

The price of ordinary season tickets is much cheaper than temporary purchases. The price of five rands is acceptable to Shen Simiao and Bruce. If fans enter the stadium with season tickets, they can also enjoy drinks and popcorn provided by the stadium. The price is still very high. Cost-effective.

"I'm a little confident in Bruce. I've never worried about the Hawks' games." Shen Simiao was proud. Compared with fans of other teams, Hawks fans are undoubtedly happy.

Chatting all the way into the office, it was exactly nine o'clock, so I wasn't late.

Southern Africa implements an eight-hour work system, with two days off every week, lunch and rest time are counted within eight hours, and people leave work on time at [-] pm.

Although it's time for work, the day's work hasn't started yet, and there are still some preparations to be done, such as going to the toilet, pouring a cup of coffee, and tidying up the table.

Due to the particularity of the Nikola Tesla Research Institute, the cleaning personnel in charge of sanitation in the office are all assigned by Brad's office, and those cleaning personnel are only responsible for cleaning the ground.

"What was the result of yesterday's game?" Chen Ping, Shen Simiao's colleague, is also a fan, but Chen Ping has already married and needs to support his family, so don't think about buying tickets to watch the game, and at most listen to the radio at home.

"3:2, we narrowly won—" Bruce was terrified.

"Obviously we all took three points, so it should be a complete victory." Shen Simiao disagreed. Although the score was close, the game was one-sided, and the Hawks were unlucky, otherwise the score would not have been like this.

"Are you still in the mood to watch the game and read the newspaper? Yesterday, hundreds of people died in London. This year's London is extremely cold—" Christopher, who was sitting by the window, interjected. He is from London and has now joined Southern Africa. Country of Citizenship.

"Oh-oh--" Shen Simiao, who was only wearing a khaki windbreaker over a white shirt, remembered at this moment that it is winter in London.

"Didn't you mean the economic crisis? Why can't I feel it?" Li Qing, the only female researcher in the office, was slow to respond, but she can't be blamed for this, the impact of the economic crisis in Los Angeles is indeed relatively small.

Talking about the economic crisis, it really has no effect on the people of Nyasaland. The dance is just like the dance, the horses are running, the market is abundant, the price is stable, and the radio is playing the information that the Paris Ballet will perform at the Nyasaland Theater next weekend. , There are six movies for the audience to choose from in the cinema at the same time, and even the stock market does not fluctuate much. The Rand Bank and Nyasaland Corporation are too powerful.

Of course, the stability of the stock market is not only due to the Rand Bank and Nyasaland Corporation, but the key is that southern African companies have a strong ability to resist risks. When the US stock market crash broke out, the southern African stock market even rose for a while.

The stock market crash broke out in the United States, and Europe will inevitably be affected.

At this time, the thriving economy in southern Africa is extremely prominent. It is also a relatively bad era. American companies can get 50 out of 20 points, British companies 80, and southern African companies at least [-]——

80 plus 20 equals [-]. Dividing by two can still tie with the United States. This logic is perfect.

Specific to the Nikola Tesla Research Institute, the researchers not only have high salaries, but also have good benefits. They have charcoal supplements in winter, cool off in summer, order cakes for birthdays, benefits during festivals, and even fuel tickets. Yes, it is said that the oil price in southern Africa is really cheap.

"Come on, Sister Qing, if I had a wife who worked at Bigwig Hospital, I wouldn't feel pressured." Shen Simiao was blunt. Li Qing's husband works at Bigwig Hospital. It is the best school in the vicinity, the house and car are all paid for, and there is a farm waiting to be inherited in the hometown——

If it was Shen Simiao, Shen Simiao couldn't feel the impact of the economic crisis.

Of course, Shen Simiao's financial situation is also good. His family also has a farm, but it is not in Nyasaland but in Tanganyika.

"Gentlemen, be quiet, we are here to live—" Jia Quan, the team leader, had a sad face. The folds on his forehead can kill mosquitoes at a young age. The Nikola Tesla Institute has no fixed research tasks. The boss thinks One after another, Jia Quan lost all confidence.

In fact, it’s not that you come up with ideas one by one. The key is that many of Nikola Tesla’s ideas cannot be realized in this era limited by technical conditions, so the research direction is constantly changing.

Everyone returned to their seats and waited for Jia Quan to assign tasks.

"Our next project is a long-range intelligent unmanned bomber that can take off and land vertically on an aircraft carrier. There are more than 140 projects here. Now let's see what we can do—" Jia Quan held The materials piled up on the desk, two large books, plus more than a dozen volumes of drawings, Shen Simiao immediately came to help, and successfully won Jia Quan's approving gaze.

What a sharp eye.

"God, it's intelligence again—" Christopher slammed his head on the table, wanting to die in pain.

The last research project of Shen Simiao's team was intelligent control. The prototype was the remote-controlled submarine demonstrated by Nikola Tesla in 1898.

The submarine shown by Nikola Tesla at that time had a relatively simple function, and its performance was not as good as it is today, and it did not have much practical value.

At that time, that project was jointly researched with the Ministry of National Defense of Southern Africa. The Ministry of National Defense required that the submarine be enlarged to the extent that it could carry weapons, and then it could be controlled by remote control to go deep into the enemy's military port to complete some special tasks.

Under the guidance of Nikola Tesla, the research progressed very smoothly at the beginning. After all, it was a project that Nikola Tesla studied 30 years ago and achieved certain breakthroughs.

Then Nikola Tesla suddenly had inspiration for Professor Goddard's rocket project, and the research on remote-controlled submarines was temporarily put on hold.

It cannot be said that it has been put on hold for the time being. This project has achieved certain results, especially in terms of remote control. After learning about this technology, the Johannesburg Textile Group spent money to buy this technology, preparing to use it in the production of remote control toy cars.

The current remote control technology may not be able to break through the defense rights of local military ports and destroy them.

However, it is more than enough to produce toys. After all, toy cars only need to simply move forward and backward.

At this time, Nikola Tesla had a new inspiration. In order to sell the remote control technology at a good price, Nikola Tesla designed a gyro stabilization system and an electric drive system.

Then came the problem. Nikola Tesla only completed the design, and it still needs a process to turn from drawings into real objects. This process is the meaning of the existence of other researchers.

Shen Simiao's team is responsible for the materials of the gyro stabilization system. In order to solve the material problem, Shen Simiao's team has been busy for a whole month and a half before basically solving this problem.

During the entire research and development process, Nikola Tesla's greatest contribution was to draw the design drawings, so it's hard to say who contributed more.

From the perspective of workload alone, other researchers must be bigger.

However, the success of scientific research requires 90.00% inspiration and [-]% sweat, and most of the time [-]% inspiration is more important.

From this point of view, it is obvious that Nikola Tesla made the greatest contribution.

"Don't worry gentlemen, our task this time is relatively simple. We just need to find a way to install the propeller of the helicopter on the long-range bomber." Jia Quan gave the team blood, as long as!It's okay!
This tone is as irresponsible as Nikola Tesla.

ps: Why are there still brothers who are still struggling with the issue of honoring white people? This title has not been accepted at all, and it has come to an end. Is it necessary to award white people the title of honoring Chinese to be enjoyable——
