Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 388 The Professor

The correct ratio of carbon black reinforced rubber should be two to one, that is, two parts of rubber and one part of carbon black, so that the effect of wear resistance is the best.

Although Rock has experienced the era of the knowledge explosion, he has never learned such partial knowledge, so Rock can't give guidance in this regard, and everything depends on the experiments of engineers.

Fortunately, Rock knows the value of knowledge, so Nyasaland's engineers have found the correct ratio at all costs. Under the current technological situation, Nyasaland's engineers have almost achieved the ultimate.

"We conducted more than 200 experiments and finally found the best ratio. Now we have applied for patents in many European countries and the United States. If other people want to produce wear-resistant tires, they must pay us the corresponding amount. Patent fee, our patent fee for each tire is 20 pounds, and we will further research in the future, and strive to be at the forefront of tire research in the world." Rudolf Diesel is still very confident. Patent fees are actually very expensive. Basically, the cost of producing a tire is about 20 pounds, but the patent fee is as much as 20 pounds.

The so-called technical barriers are formed in this way. If you can't catch up with one step, you can't catch up step by step. As long as Nyasaland has one patent in tires, there will be more and more patents in the future. Rock doesn't know the carbon black reinforced rubber. The ratio is correct, but Rock knows the difference between inner tube and outer tire, Rock also knows radial tire and bias tire, so Nyasaland will lead the world in tire research for many years in the future.

This is the IQ tax. It is impossible to do this with Rock alone, but Rock now has a team, so Rock is not worried.

"Take your time, don't rush, first determine the prototype of the truck, and then talk about other things." Rock still had time to slowly adjust, and Ford would not launch the Model T until 1908.

Before Ford launched the Model T, none of the car companies in the world could compete.

Ford's Model T car also occupied the world's auto market by virtue of the assembly line.

Now Henry Ford has just signed the company's establishment documents with 11 initial investors. This is Henry Ford's third attempt to start a car manufacturing business. Saran's cars would fill the American market, and Henry Ford—

Ha ha.

"Why do we put all our energy into trucks? In fact, we can produce cars now. I don't know how Bobby's progress is. I want to go to Bobby's factory tomorrow to see." Rudolph Diesel is still very ideal, but he is destined to be disappointed. Diesel engines may not be applied in the car market for a long time.

The world's first company to apply diesel engines to cars is Volkswagen. In 1976, Volkswagen used diesel engines on Volkswagen's golf cars for the first time.

Rock does not do useless work. Before the technology of diesel engines is greatly improved, all attempts to apply diesel engines to cars are doomed to fail. That's why Rock handed over cars to Bobby Holt for research. Motorcycle engines of this era and Car engines are actually similar, and Bobby Holt has an advantage here.

"Yes, you can go to Bobby or visit Bobby's factory, but Rudolph, for a long time, diesel engines can only be used on trucks, tractors, ships, and even future tanks. For quite a long period of time, it is impossible for diesel engines to be applied to cars.” Roque said bluntly that Rudolf Diesel certainly had confidence in diesel engines, but this confidence had no foundation.

"What is a tank?" Rudolf Diesel finally asked the question.

"Tanks—you know the heavy cavalry, right? Tanks are the heavy cavalry of the future. They are driven by machines, equipped with thicker armor, and charged to the enemy's positions with more powerful firepower. It is not yet time to study tanks. , because the power of the diesel engine is not enough, you have to develop a more powerful diesel engine, and then the tank will become a reality." Of course Rock also hoped that Rudolph Diesel would develop a tank now, but this is not realistic.

In mid-November, Rudolf Diesel returned to Nyasaland full of gains and regrets.

The medical school between Bigwig and Johannesburg was finally completed, and both Ade and Philip attended the opening ceremony of the medical school.

The School of Medicine is divided into Departments of Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Field First Aid, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Abu is still very powerful. Before the completion of the medical school, he completed the purification of Artemisia annua. Although Abu still can’t explain why Artemisia annua has special effects on malaria, the effect of Artemisia annua is far superior to that of Cinchona. Luo There are more than 1000 acres of Artemisia annua planted in Ke’s farm. The pharmaceutical factory that was completed a month ago is conducting purification experiments on Artemisia annua. Once the experiment is successful, Artemisia annua will become the flagship product of the pharmaceutical factory and completely replace Cinchona Cream role in the drug system.

Yes, although cinchona has various deficiencies, cinchona is still a special drug against malaria, and the price of cinchona is now comparable to gold. The appearance of Artemisia annua will completely sweep cinchona into history Therefore, in a pile of papers, at most one or two years, Artemisia annua will take the place of Cinchona cream.

"So, this drug is very important?" Ade didn't know that the biological laboratory had produced results.

"Very important, Your Excellency Governor, you should know that the biggest obstacle to exploration and development is not the resistance of the natives, nor the dangerous terrain. Those invisible viruses are the biggest problem we have encountered. The Transvaal is still normal now. But in Nyasaland and Rhodesia, there are still many uninhabited lands waiting for us to explore, so Artemisia annua is very important, with Artemisia annua, our loss in colonial development will be reduced by 90.00%.” Rock casually listed data, these data are actually not accurate, but who cares, Ade doesn't know much about Artemisia annua.

In fact, southern Africa is better. In Central Africa or South America, the role of Artemisia annua is even more important. These two places are tropical rainforest areas, where malaria is rampant and hard to prevent. Explorers die of malaria every day. Artemisia annua Successful research is a great boon for all explorers.

"Have you applied for a patent?" Ade still cared about the patent issue.

Patents are so lucrative in this day and age that it's impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye.

Compared with tires, drug patents are more practical and valuable. For tire patents, Nyasaland only charges [-]% of the cost. For Qinghao patents, Roque can directly charge [-]%.

"It has been applied for. This is our first major invention. It must not be contributed to all mankind for free. We will continue to use the patent fees collected for the research of other drugs, and develop as many specific drugs as possible." Rock said. Not satisfied, medicine has been a profiteering industry until the 21st century, and Rock will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

Ade nodded, stopped talking, and walked into the medical school accompanied by Rock.

The gate of the medical school is like a traditional Chinese archway. The beam above the archway is a complete log. In the 21st century, trees of this level have been basically mined, but now there are everything that one expects to find, so Rock You're welcome, all of the highest standards.

Walking into the gate, you will see a huge square. All the ground in the square has been hardened. Instead of asphalt, it is made of irregular stone slabs, which is the way the Romans built roads.

The Romans built roads, usually with big stones at the bottom, then small stones, and then a layer of small stones, and the road made of stone slabs at the top.

Such a road can guarantee that it will not break down for decades, or even hundreds of years.

Thanks to Roque's high standards and strict requirements, the ground of the medical school is hardened, just like the Romans built roads.

Walking into the square, you can see some students who have just entered the medical school taking photos with their parents.

Thanks to Roque's attention, the photography industry in Johannesburg is becoming more and more developed. Before, photography was still carried out indoors, but now it can be done outdoors under sufficient light conditions.

"How many people are there in the medical school?" Ade still attaches great importance to education.

"This year, the medical school has just started enrolling, and the total number of first-year students has exceeded 1000. We have far underestimated the enthusiasm of Transvaal students for the medical school. In fact, if we want, the current size of the medical school can exceed [-] people." , but that’s meaningless, the professors who are willing to guide students have limited energy, and one person can bring three or five at most, and no more can take care of it.” Rock wants to ensure the strength of teachers, and there are indeed many faculty members in the medical school, but many of them are not There is no coaching qualification, so the data does not look good.

"How many professors are there in the medical school?" Ade was noncommittal. After all, talents are rare, and Ade did not dare to promise Rock.

"There are fewer than ten real professional doctors, and even fewer people have the title of professor. Abu is the dean of the medical school, but Abu also has to take care of the biological laboratory, so in many cases, Abu will take care of one thing and lose the other. The management of the medical school is It will be carried out by Professor Douglas." Rock finally found an opportunity to recommend Douglas to Ade. Since he switched to administration, Douglas has been performing very well. This guy is an official fan, and now he only wants to climb up.

"Ten people, this is indeed a little less." Ade didn't know that the medical school was so embarrassed.

"We have invited all the experts and professors we can possibly invite, but many people still don't want to come to Johannesburg." Rock regretted that Ade had also helped by inviting those experts and professors in the name of the Transvaal government. Johannesburg, but few responders.

　It's past 11 o'clock, sorry guys, I've worked hard——
