Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 306 Victims

If Rock wants to open a new project, he doesn't need to find anyone else at all, he just needs to make a call to Stoudemire, Henry, and Owen.

Stoudemire can't, because of the plague in the Transvaal and Orange, Stoudemire went fishing in Lake Nyasa during this time, so he had to send a telegram.

Rock can be regarded as catching up with the good times. There was already a radio in 1902, although both Edison and Carnegie insisted that the radio was invented by the Italian Marconi, and by 1906 the US Patent Office would revoke the patent of Nicola Tess. However, Rock still went to Tesla to buy a wireless telegraph and related patents for radio.

Only in Nyasaland's patent, after Rock bought the wireless telegraph patent from Nikola Tesla, he could produce wireless telegraph machines in Nyasaland and then sell them in Nyasaland.

As for where those customers use the radio after they buy it, this is not under the control of Rock, nor can it be controlled by Nikola Tesla.

Nikola Tesla was still in court with Marconi.

The radio in this period was actually not that complicated. Sometimes a technological breakthrough is a layer of window paper. With the patent drawings, the production line can be designed according to the patent drawings, and then there are technical guidance from professionals. Assembly line workers must master the technology. It's very simple. It's actually a matter of proficiency. With the accumulation of experience, the proficiency will reach full level one day.

Roque didn't want to produce all the parts needed for the radio in Nyasaland as soon as he came up. Of course, those that can be produced will be produced locally in Nyasaland. If Roque can't be produced, he will go to Europe to purchase. They will refuse to sell the components needed for the production of radios to Nyasaland, because no matter which country they are in, they will not think that Nyasaland's industrial products will pose a threat to their own industry.

Certainly not now, but Roque will never be satisfied. While establishing the radio factory, Roque also established a radio research institute. On the basis of Nikola Tesla's patents, Roque will continue to research and strive for the wireless Smaller size, clearer signal and longer transmission distance.

By the way, both the radio factory and the radio research institute are solely owned by Rock. Nyasaland is not the Transvaal. In Nyasaland, Rock doesn't need to worry about anyone.

Stoudemire, Henry, and Owen are all interested in the medical school and the pharmaceutical factory. A simple share plan will be announced soon. Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry each hold 30.00% of the shares in the medical school and the factory, and Owen holds [-]%. , and then Owen began to run for the medical school and the pharmaceutical factory in the name of the Liberal Party. At this stage of preparation, all Roque had to do was pay money, and then he didn't care about anything.

It is definitely better to act in the name of a collective than in the name of an individual.

Owen found Philip, and it went smoothly to a large piece of land on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Philip is so generous now that he didn't even ask for a land transfer fee, which made Rock think it was a large piece of land, less than ten square meters There is no way to meet people for a kilometer, and there are several farms within this range. Each farmer received ten pounds per acre of land as compensation, happily sold the farm to the city government, and immediately took the money to compare Pretoria purchased a larger number of farms.

It’s impossible not to go to Pretoria. There are no farms around Johannesburg that can be purchased. Even if there are, they are in remote areas far from Johannesburg. In terms of location, they are really not as good as the farms around Pretoria.

These ten square kilometers are all used for the pharmaceutical factory, and the medical school will be built in Bigwig Town, so there is no need to occupy the land in Johannesburg.

Abu was immediately appointed by Rock as the dean of the medical school. Because Abu was busy with research work, the medical school also needed an executive dean who was in charge of daily management.

Roque, the chief executive, chose Douglas. Although Douglas was an expert in agriculture and had nothing to do with medicine, it was still possible for Douglas to be in charge of daily administration. With this position, it was more convenient for Douglas to poach from Europe.

After all, it's nothing more than throwing money at it. Money can't buy loyalty, but it can buy achievements. Achievements are enough, and they can already attract many people.

This means that Abramovich's research has not yet produced results. Once Abramovich has produced results, more people will be willing to come to Johannesburg.

In fact, in order to make Abu produce results, Rock also helped think of a lot of ways, forget about aspirin, the aspirin developed by the Germans has just been used in clinical practice, and it has not really shown its value yet, Rock has already sent people to Germany to find Bayer The laboratory purchased aspirin-related patents for production and sales in Johannesburg. If there is no accident, aspirin is the future flagship product of the pharmaceutical factory.

Regarding the research results, Roque tried to get Abramovich to shift his energy to penicillin and artemisia annua. These two drugs are of great significance to all human beings. As long as there is a breakthrough in any one, Abramovich can win great honor for himself. .

Artemisia annua is an upgraded version of Cinchona Cream. No matter in terms of efficacy or side effects, Cinchona Cream is not as good as Artemisia annua. , it tends to be more effective in the late stage of malaria, but often ineffective in the early and middle stages, and it will also lead to frequent recurrence of the disease.

In addition, cinchona cream can also cause many serious side effects, and in the worst case, even endanger the lives of users. These side effects once led to the banning of cinchona cream for a time.

Artemisia annua does not have this problem. It is not only widely used, but also has better effects. Even if there are some mild side effects, it can quickly return to normal without treatment.

Malaria has a relatively large impact on the Chinese. Most of the Chinese in Johannesburg and Nyasaland come from the northern part of the Qing Dynasty. After they came to Johannesburg and Nyasaland, they often faced the threat of malaria. The number one threat in southern Africa, the number of Chinese who died from malaria has reached more than a thousand from the year before last.

The Chinese have known for a long time that Artemisia annua decocted water can treat malaria. In the "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there is a record of using Artemisia annua "twisted juice" as a medicine. After Rock knew this, he asked Liang Dingxin brought Artemisia annua from the Qing Dynasty and tried to grow it in Nyasaland. It is said that the effect is very good, better than the effect of cinchona cream, which is known as the "miracle medicine".

It is precisely because of Artemisia annua that Rock wants to build a pharmaceutical factory. Malaria is not only a threat to the Chinese, it is a serious threat to everyone in the world, especially to humans in tropical areas. If the pharmaceutical factory in Johannesburg can advance The production of artemisia drugs can be regarded as the contribution of the Chinese to all mankind.

With the support of policies and sufficient funds, the preparations for schools and factories are progressing smoothly. Because of the special circumstances, schools and factories must use permanent reinforced concrete buildings, so the preparation of materials has already started from now. Machines and factories The steel is mainly ordered from Europe, the stone is from Zululand, and the cement is not a problem. Fawalt’s cement plant is still expanding its production. After the rainy season, it will be enough to meet the needs of the construction site.

Yes, the weather is an important factor hindering the progress of the project. The rainy season has just entered in November, and it will rain basically every other day. This situation will continue until March next year, that is to say, after March, the school And the factory can start smoothly.

Entering November, the plague epidemic in the Transvaal has finally been effectively controlled. The epidemic in Johannesburg has not been found for a week until November [-], and no plague patients or suspected plague patients have been found. This means that the epidemic is over and martial law can be lifted in Johannesburg .

The situation in Pretoria is slightly worse, but by November NO.15 also announced the end of the epidemic.

Only the epidemic in Orange is still serious. In November, the number of people who died from the plague every day was still as many as hundreds. Dr. Fred Hansa, who was sent by Bigwig Hospital to Bloemfontein, was also NO.16 in November. Died of plague.

When the news was sent back to Johannesburg, Rock didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't go to Ade. He should go to work and return to Ziwei Town, but he was not affected by the news.

Philip expressed his relief at this, thinking that this was the beginning of Rock's maturity.

Owen was quite surprised. He thought Roque would use the problem to explode, but he didn't expect Roque to accept the reality so calmly.

"Excuse the issue? Impossible. Now the issue is used. It has no effect except to arouse the resentment of the Palace of Justice. Now our biggest enemy is the plague. What's the matter? Let's talk about it after the plague epidemic is over. What are you talking about now?" It's useless." Rock didn't go to Adelaide, believing that Adelaide could see the sacrifices Johannesburg made for Bloemfontein.

In this way, if the Boers want to trouble Johannesburg in the future, the Boers will not be able to pass the test of Adelaide.

The only thing Rock felt sorry for was Fred Hansa, but Fred Hansa was a Boer. When he asked for a doctor's opinion at the Bigwig Hospital, Fred Hansa voluntarily went to Bloemfontein, so Fred Hansa died well, and the only thing Rock can do is to take care of Fred Hansa's family as much as possible, and don't let Fred Hansa and other doctors in the Bigveia Hospital down.

"That's right, Locke. I've always been worried that you're too extreme, but now it seems that you're still very sensible." Owen looked proud. It's not like what Owen could say, but rather like Philip's evaluation of Rock. Owen is just paraphrasing.

Rock doesn't care either. The Boers have always done a good job in playing the role of "victim". Now Rock is trying to imitate the role of the Boer in playing the role of "victim". Children who can cry only have milk.

　The addition of the [-]th monthly ticket is here, it feels good not to have to rack your brains to find a reason——
