Chapter 393 Dora Runs Fast

Every time he returns to Nyasaland, Rock will make new discoveries. The progress of Nyasaland can really be described as changing with each passing day.

When Rock first got Nyasaland, there were less than 10 people in Nyasaland, most of them were Africans, and there were less than [-] whites.

After Rock took over Nyasaland, he took all the whites and Africans away to Stoudemire, and began emigrating from the Qing Dynasty with great effort.

At that time, Stoudemire didn't approve of Rock's approach, and even Stoudemire meant to wait to see Rock's jokes, because Stoudemire didn't know how easy it was to immigrate from the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't know the potential of the Chinese, so Stoudemire once It is believed that Rock will ultimately rely on Africans to develop Nyasaland.

Or, there will be no development at all.

It has been less than two years since Rock acquired Nyasaland, and the population of Nyasaland has exceeded 30. When Rock acquired Nyasaland, there were no cities with more than [-] people in Nyasaland, and there were no railways and At that time, Little Rock had only a simple wharf, and there were only two or three fishing boats.

Now there are two cities in Nyasaland with more than [-] people. In addition to Little Rock, Port Edward has a population of more than [-].

There are nearly a hundred colonies in Nyasaland with more than a thousand people. These colonies are spread all over Nyasaland, from around the most developed Lake Nyasaland to the North Sea area that has just become part of Nyasaland. There are colonial pioneering points composed of Chinese, and these colonial pioneering points have the opportunity to develop into cities.

When Roque took over Nyasaland, Nyasaland's industrial base was basically zero, not to mention tractors and marine police boats, Nyasaland was difficult to make even wooden fishing boats, and those Africans were basically still in slash-and-burn farming In the current situation, the South African company developing Rhodesia still cares about one thing and loses the other, and does not care about Nyasaland at all.

Nyasaland is now ready to produce trucks.

Stoudemire has never seen a truck before, so when he saw the truck, Stoudemire looked at Rock as if he was looking at Superman——

No, Superman hasn't appeared yet, so the way Stoudemire looks at Rock is like looking at God!

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? Actually, it's nothing incredible. After a while, Nyasaland will be able to produce cars. Remember the car you gave Henry. I asked someone to dismantle it. Wait for Nyasaland to dismantle it. Lan can produce cars, and I will give you one." Rock is very generous, Rhodesia will be a major customer of Nyasaland in the future, and Rock is now sharpening his knife.

Compared with Nyasaland, Rhodesia's biggest development bottleneck is people. To solve this problem, in addition to increasing the population, the only way is to improve work efficiency.

It is impossible to increase the population in a short period of time. The Transvaal cannot attract more new immigrants. Rhodesia doesn't even have to think about it, so it can only use a large number of machines to make up for the lack of manpower.

Stoudemire took the initiative to talk to Rochlania Saran to investigate the actual efficiency of tractors. If tractors can improve the efficiency of arable land, Stoudemire will buy them in large quantities.

So the first stop after Stoudemire and Rock came to Nyasaland was the tractor factory.

Nyasaland's tractor factory is located on the shore of Lake Nyasa not far from Little Rock. In order to improve efficiency, Rock specially built a small section of railway and a small wharf for the tractor factory. Although the wharf has only one berth, it can dock [-] tons The giant ship is the same size as the port of Little Rock.

The tractor factory in Nyasaland now has more than [-] workers. Because the output of engines cannot be supplied, it can only produce less than ten tractors a day. Now the production of cars also needs engines, so the output of tractors may be in a short period of time. It will fall, Rudolf Diesel has tried everything to increase the output of the engine, but still can not meet the demand of tractors and trucks.

In fact, ten units are quite a lot. Calculated on a monthly basis, 300 units can be produced each month, which is absolutely world-class in 1903. Except for Nyasaland, in 1903, all countries in the world added up to 300 units per month. Production is estimated to be less than [-] units.

"Is the efficiency of the tractor really as good as it is advertised?" Stoudemire still had doubts about the efficiency of the tractor.

"Mr. Diesel, let me introduce you." Rock didn't want to answer such a mentally retarded question. The efficiency of the tractor was not high, and the Nania Saran Agricultural Company would not be taken advantage of.

Now all the tractors produced must be given priority to the Nyasaland Agricultural Company. Except for the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, only the Johannesburg Agricultural Association has purchased two tractors for testing. The two tractors It is still working now, how to say about the efficiency, under the same conditions, the efficiency of tractor plowing land is 50 times that of a horse.

"Mr. Rhodesy, there is no doubt about the efficiency of tractors. Last month, our Nyasaland Agricultural Company developed a total of 30 acres of land. The reason why we can develop so much is the efficiency of tractors is a very important reason." Lu Dolph Diesel patiently explained that facts speak louder than words.

Developing land is not an easy task. The terrain of Nyasaland is actually a bit complicated. It is basically a transitional terrain from tropical grasslands to tropical rainforests. It is very difficult to turn forests and grasslands into arable land. Many terrains are hillsides. And hilly, if there is no tractor, it is really difficult to develop the land.

Stoudemire certainly knows how difficult it is to develop land. Rhodesia has millions of square kilometers, and the cultivated land that has been developed now accounts for less than one percent of the total arable land area. Otherwise, Rhodesia's agriculture would not be Primarily grazing, farms around Johannesburg have demonstrated the advantages of spot grazing over nomads.

Of course, Stoudemire also wants to spot grazing, but Rhodesia does not have the advantages of Nyasaland and Johannesburg, so spot grazing can only be thought about.

The appearance of tractors may change this, which is why Stoudemire is so urgent.

"Cecil, you always know that Nyasaland is now less and less dependent on Rhodesia. In the past, Nyasaland needed Rhodesia to provide food, but now it basically doesn't need it. This is the importance of technology. Sex." Rock still clicked more or less, as for whether Stoudemire could listen to it, that was Stoudemire's problem.

Sometimes I have to lament that good fortune makes people, the same car, after Stoudemire got tired of playing, he gave it away.

The same car, in Henry's hands, can only be parked in the garage to eat ashes, and cannot produce the slightest value. Henry also has to support a maintenance team, and Lacey feels distressed when she sees the expenses.

The same car was in the hands of Rock, and Rock organized people to dismantle the car, improve it, and finally put it into production. The difference between them cannot be explained in a few words.

"Yeah, everyone who knows Nyasaland, is amazed by the development of Nyasaland, so Locke, sell me 50 first, and that kind of truck, I want 50, no, 100 .” Stoudemire placed an order on the spot.

Rudolf Diesel looked a little embarrassed.

Rock knows why, the tractor is better, the truck has just been put into production, and the monthly output may not necessarily reach [-], and now the Nyasaland Agricultural Company and the Northern Division of Rhodesia have sent people to the truck factory to produce As soon as one comes out, one will be driven away. There is no extra truck to sell to Stoudemire.

But it won’t work if you don’t sell it. After all, Nyasaland was given to Roque by Xiaosi. Although Cecil Rhodes gave Nyasaland to Roque for a different purpose, it still needs to be done. Inherited.

"Cecil, the tractor is fine, the truck is really not good, the quality of the truck is not stable enough now, let's talk about it later." Rock half-truth.

Regarding the quality, this is actually a very magical issue. Many people may think that the quality of the newly produced cars in this era must be very unstable, and it is normal for them to break down while running on the road.

Indeed, when the car was just born, the quality was indeed unstable, but now it has been 25 years since Karl Benz invented the car, and 75 years have passed since James of England invented the steam car. Compared with the automobile invented by Zitz, it has been greatly improved. Whether it is the engine or the materials used in the automobile, the current automobile has made great progress compared with the previous ones. The Ford Model T produced by Ford in 1908 has many parts. Parts can still be used for decades.

The same is true for the tractors produced in Nyasaland. Rock’s requirements for product quality are endless. The tractor factory has been continuously improving the tractors. Every week, the engineers of the tractor factory will test the tractors of the agricultural company. It not only detects the working status of the tractor, but also asks the tractor drivers of the agricultural company about the status encountered during the use of the tractor.

Since Nyasaland's tractor was finalized, more than ten improvements have been made, large and small, so the performance of the tractor will become better and better.

Of course, the same is true for trucks. Rock's requirements for trucks are also endless. Unlike tractors, Rock's requirements for trucks are not only to be able to pull, but also to be able to run fast, and at the same time be more reliable and durable.

As for fuel consumption, Rock is not worried about it. It is only 1903, and oil is far from influencing the world economy. Oil is very cheap all over the world. Now Rock is not in the mood to mess with oil. As Nyasaland's mechanization became more and more popular, Rock also had to prepare in advance.

"Don't talk nonsense, Rhodesia Northern Division has already begun to equip trucks. Now you tell me that the quality of trucks is not stable enough. If the quality is not stable, you will buy trucks for real money to equip Rhodesian Northern Division?" Xiao Xiao Si didn't believe Rock's words at all. Whoever had a good thing would be tight to his own people first.

"I really didn't lie to you—" Rock was speechless, and this kind of thing couldn't be explained. Just at this moment, a truck delivering parts for the tractor factory stopped at the gate of the tractor factory and couldn't start. The engineers quickly surrounded the past.

This is not a problem in the tractor factory.

 I’m sorry, I cooed again yesterday. The reason was that I promised my friend the day before yesterday, and I went to transfer the ownership of the car I just bought with him yesterday. I thought it would be fine in our county, but who knew I would go to the city—so——
