Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 201 The Professor

Rock thought that he would be able to get rid of Frank von Adelaide, an eyesore, from now on. Unexpectedly, the next day, Rock met Frank von Adelaide again at the Rock Gold Mine.

"Father, you really linger." Rock was very depressed, not knowing why Frank von Adelaide came to Rock Gold Mine.

"Oh, Sir Locke, the Locke Gold Mine is your property?" Frank von Adelaide was bewildered.

Rock didn't answer, he looked at Frank von Adelaide's calm expression, and waited for Frank von Adelaide to report himself.

"Hmm, Sir Locke, hello, I am Frank von Adelaide, Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of Cape, may God bless you." Frank von Adelaide was serious.

He's still an archbishop!

Roque can only rejoice now that Roque did not abuse Frank von Adelaide when Frank von Adelaide was in the police station. Just for fun.

"So, Mr. Adelaide, what are you looking for?" Rock was patient, and if Frank von Adelaide's request was not excessive, Rock could cooperate.

"Sir Locke, I just passed by Bigwig, and I have to say, it's a beautiful town, full of charm, serenity, and a hospital that may be the best in Johannesburg. The only regret is that Bigwig didn't There is not even a church, which is very abnormal, the glory of the Lord should shine to any corner of the world, Bigwig Town should not be a desert of faith—” Frank von Adelaide has a tendency to make long speeches .

"Stop, Mr. Adelaide, what are you doing?" Rock didn't want to hear Frank von Adelaide's nonsense.

"I want to build a church in Bigwig Town." Frank von Adelaide said succinctly this time.

"Then you go." Rock didn't limit, the first building in many small towns was a church, which is normal in Cape.

"I don't have any money—" Frank von Adelaide finally showed embarrassment on his face. It turned out that he was looking for Rock for alms.

"Ha, Mr. Adelaide, I have to say, you are really whimsical. This is a Protestant site. I am the chief of police in Johannesburg. You are a Catholic priest. Let me pay to help you build a church. What do you think? What?" Rock was really curious, so he turned to the chief of police for alms, but he didn't know where the gate of the concentration camp was facing——

If Frank von Adelaide was a Protestant pastor, it wouldn't matter if Roque took the money. Anyway, Roque didn't pay the money alone, and Frank von Adelaide would definitely find other people for alms.

But Frank von Adelaide is a Catholic priest and a German who wholeheartedly opposes the British government, so Rock absolutely dare not join in this excitement.

"Wait, Sir Locke, I know that Bigwig Town was built by you, and every plant and tree there is condensed with your hard work. I think you must hope that Bigwig Town will be more beautiful and have more cultural connotations—if you Help me build a church, and I'll help you build a school in Bigwig Town." Frank von Adelaide made a condition that Rock could not refuse.

Undoubtedly, if there is anything Rocky can't do right now, then school must be the top priority.

In order to improve the social status of the Chinese, in addition to laying a good economic foundation, the cultural level of the Chinese—especially the next generation of Chinese must be continuously strengthened.

When it comes to science and technology, we often say that the Chinese are ahead of the whites by how many years. In fact, that is illusory. A long time ago, the technology of the East was indeed ahead of the West, but in modern times, even before the Renaissance, the East began to gradually lag behind the West.

For example, when Oxford University in England was founded, the Southern Song Dynasty was facing the invasion of the Jin Dynasty, and when Watt developed the steam engine, Kangxi was pacifying San Francisco, Japan declared war on the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was still busy celebrating the [-]th birthday of Lafayette——

There are too many similar things, and the reason why the East is gradually falling behind is not just closed doors, the whole society ignores science, there is no systematic inheritance of science, and there is no popularization of culture. Social status, it is essential to improve the cultural level of the Chinese.

That's why Rock opened night classes in the Matilda Gold Mine, just to improve the overall quality of the Chinese.

Sadly, so far, it hasn't worked out well, as evidenced by the hook.

Since adults have to be busy with their lives and have no energy to spend on improving their cultural level, Rock can only pin his hopes on the second generation of Chinese. Oak Township in Cape Town already has a bilingual school in English and Chinese. The school itself is in Rock's plan.

"Tell me, how far you can do it." Rock was very interested in Frank von Adelaide.

In other words, Rock is very interested in the German education model.

In the two world wars, Germany was able to withstand the joint attack of the allies, and the power of science and technology was indispensable.

Look at those scientists that the United States took away from Germany after World War II, Einstein, Fermi, von Braun, Otto Ambrose, etc. After World War II, the United States took away from Germany recruited 1500 scientists.

In Rock's era, there were always rumors that the United States had some kind of secret agreement with aliens, that the United States helped conceal the secret of the existence of aliens, and that aliens assisted the United States in developing technology.

Whether there is no evidence for such an agreement is hard to say, but the scientific and technological talents that the United States took away from Germany are similar to getting help from aliens.

"It depends on how much support you can provide, Sir Locke. If you have enough support, it is not impossible to copy Heidelberg University." Frank von Adelaide boasted.

Heidelberg University is the oldest university in Germany. It currently has five independent departments of theology, law, medicine, philosophy, and natural sciences, and its status in the German education circle is unmatched.

"You don't need to copy Heidelberg University, you just need to copy the library of Heidelberg University, and I will help you build a church." Rock doesn't want to copy Heidelberg University as a whole, Rock wants to take the essence and discard the dross, such as theology what?

Train more priests?

Don't be funny, the periodic table of elements is more fun.

"As long as the funds are sufficient, there is no problem." Frank von Adelaide smiled.

The library of Heidelberg University is the oldest university library in Germany, with a collection of 260 million books, including more than 6000 precious manuscripts and ancient printed books, as well as extremely precious 14th-century manuscripts. It is in the library of the world's top universities Among them, the library of Heidelberg University ranks 5th.

The above is the data of the Heidelberg University Library in the 21st century, now——

There may not be that many, but it is more likely that there are more than 260 million volumes. After all, the library of Heidelberg University in the 21st century has experienced two world wars, especially the Second World War. The United States and the Soviet Union joined forces and almost emptied it. Germany, they will certainly not let go of the Heidelberg University library.

"You can set a price for how much you want!" Luo Ke is generous. There is only one way to copy books these days, and that is to hire someone to copy them by hand, especially those ancient printed books and manuscripts. copy.

"Let's talk about building the church first, about a thousand pounds." Frank von Adelaide still couldn't forget the church.

"Bring me ten medical experts, and I'll give you a thousand pounds." Rock landed and returned the money.

"Ten? You think medical experts are Chinese cabbages." Frank von Adelaide turned his nose and raised his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, don't care if you are an expert or not, as long as you are a graduate of Heidelberg University School of Medicine, one hundred pounds each, and work in Bigwig Town. I will give them twice the salary in Germany." Rock throws money, and doesn't believe those people Students graduating from the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University are not tempted.

The purchasing power of the British pound is still very strong these days. An ordinary British person can earn less than [-] pounds a year through hard work. The annual income of more than [-] pounds is already at the level of the middle class in the UK. The economic situation in Germany is far behind. It is not as good as England, which is why William II envied and hated his British uncle in all kinds of ways, and the Germans are the same for the British. As long as there is a high salary as a temptation, it is not a problem to work in Ziwei Town.

What's more, one hundred pounds is just an "intermediary fee". Rock will not be stingy with real talents. For example, Professor Douglas of the Royal Agricultural College of Gloucester, his annual salary is 400 pounds, and the director of the British Ministry of Finance If Frank von Adelaide can invite the professor from the Heidelberg University School of Medicine, Rock will also offer a high salary so that he will stay in Bigwig town willingly.

"Wait!" Frank von Adelaide snapped his fingers in a very inconspicuous manner, and turned to leave Rock's office.

Two weeks later, Frank von Adelaide came to Rock triumphantly.

"Sir Locke, please allow me to introduce to you, this is Professor Albrecht Kossel from Heidelberg University School of Medicine." Frank von Adelaide gave Rock a big surprise.

Who is Albrecht Kaussell?

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1910, he has made great achievements in the research of proteins and nucleic acids, and is one of the most outstanding contributions of Heidelberg University to human medicine.

"Professor Albrecht, welcome." Rock sincerely welcomed you.

"Thank you, Sir Locke. Frank told me that I can get a laboratory in Bigwig Town." Albrecht Kosol's English was not fluent, but it was within acceptable limits.

"A medical laboratory? No problem." Rock took everything, as long as he could keep this great god, what a laboratory was, and Rock could build a medical school for him alone.

"Thank you—" Albrecht Kaussell was a little embarrassed.

Rock looks at Frank von Adelaide.

Frank von Adelaide held out a finger to Rock.

100?

It seems a little less.

Rock decided to give more: "Professor Albrecht, if you are willing to stay and work, I can give you an annual salary of 400 pounds."

In fact, there are not many, about the same as Professor Douglas, but Albrecht Kossel's achievements are much better than Douglas's.

Hearing this number, Albrecht Kausor's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Is this more or less?

　Adding more has become a habit, and I don’t even bother to find a reason—or, let’s celebrate the 600 monthly pass——
