This time he came to Nyasaland Agricultural College, in addition to striving for more in-depth cooperation, Gao Wei also hoped to invite his senior Dong Yan to work in Victoria.

After graduating, Gao Wei went to work for the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, while Dong Yan stayed at the University of Nyasaland to teach, and now Dong Yan is also working in the laboratory while teaching, responsible for the improvement of breeding cattle.

Angus cattle are the main breed of cattle in southern Africa, and over the years, the Agricultural College has never stopped improving the population, trying to find breeding cattle that are more suitable for breeding in southern Africa.

The work of improving varieties is not something that can be done in a day or two, but often in years, and this work can take decades.

The University of Nyasaland started the work of breeding cattle for a long time and has been doing so for 15 years now.

As a result of the combined efforts of all the staff, the breed improvement work has been remarkable, with Angus cattle raised in southern Africa having better meat quality, higher meat yields, more milking days and about 10% higher milk yield than Angus cattle in the UK.

Dong Yan's laboratory is located in the Nyasaland Agricultural College, but every week, Dong Yan spends at least half of his time working on the farm under the Agricultural College, which covers about 500 acres and raises more than 1,000 breeding cattle.

When Gao Wei came to the laboratory, Dong Yan had just gotten the latest experimental results and was about to go to the school headquarters to report to Harrison Mackintosh.

"What's the good news, looking at your face full of spring breeze, there must be a new breakthrough." Gao Wei and Dong Yan have a good relationship, when they were studying at the University of Nyasaland, Gao Wei and Dong Yan were roommates, and Dong Yan was known for his super hands-on ability at that time, and he had become Harrison McIntosh's right-hand man during his time at school.

"The good news is indeed, you see, this is the result of the experiment that I just got, and if the data is not wrong, then we will have the best breeding cattle ever." Dong Yan was excited, the combination of production, education and research in the College of Agriculture was quite good, and the emergence of each new variety not only represents a fruitful personal honor, but also represents full economic value.

The College of Agriculture does not need financial support from the Nyasar government at all, and with its own hematopoietic capacity, the College of Agriculture can not only support the laboratory to improve, but also maintain the operation of the College of Agriculture, and the students of the College of Agriculture can get a living allowance of about 50 rand a year, which is about equivalent to a year's salary of a normal person.

In other words, in Nyasaland, as long as you get into university, you can basically become financially independent, which has also prompted more and more families to invest more in education.

About 10 years ago, the Faculty of Agriculture introduced Simmental cattle, native to the Swiss Alps, not purebred beef cattle, but a dairy breed.

Simmental cattle not only have high milk production, but also have no worse meat production than specialized beef cattle breeds, and their service performance is also very good, and they are large breeds with milk, meat and service.

Through the improvement of Simmental cattle, the current Simmental cattle have increased their milk yield and meat yield by more than 30% compared to the original breed.

The team led by Dong Yan found that the offspring of a Simmental bull named "Cromwell" has the characteristics of fast growth, early maturity and good meat quality, and has excellent promotion value.

"It looks good, if the professor is not willing to make additional investment, maybe we at Nyasaland Agricultural Company can invest in this project." Although Gao Wei has left the front line of scientific research, but the scientific research report can still be understood, Gao Wei believes in Dong Run's strength, if the data obtained by Dong Run's team is not wrong, then this project is indeed very potential.

"This was originally a project carried out in cooperation with the Nyasaland Agricultural Company-" Dong Yan's words made Gao Wei depressed, the same Nyasaland Agricultural Company, the strength of the Nyasaland Branch and the Victoria Branch is very different, the current Victoria Branch has just been established for a few years, and there is a huge gap compared with the Nyasaland Branch in all aspects.

Especially in terms of scientific research, the Nyasaland Agricultural College is located in Nyasaland and has been cooperating with the Nyasaland branch for many years.

"Lao Dong, do you want to go to Victoria to have a look, I will help you build a laboratory, give you enough funds, help you set up your own research group, and can provide you with more than 50,000 rand of scientific research funds every year, and give you a farm with an area of 5,000 hectares." Gao Wei spared no expense, and the gap in strength could not be made up in a short time, so Gao Wei could only find a way to overtake in the corner.

"Rich?" Dong Yan said that it is false to say that he is not impressed, scientific researchers hope to realize their personal value, and they also hope to obtain favorable living conditions, and it is indeed vulgar to talk about money directly, but most of the time, money is the main way to prove value.

To put it bluntly, Professor Hesling lives in the attic and conducts scientific research like that, and Abu lives in a big villa like he does and directs a team of hundreds of people to work for Abu is also research.

For most researchers, they would definitely prefer Abu's life.

"No, our Victorian branch only has 50,000 rand a year in research funding, I don't want to waste money on worthless projects, but if it's you, even if you can't make achievements in three or two years, I'm willing to give you time, I believe in your strength." Gao Wei is really not touting, Dong Yan has actually made a lot of achievements in the past few years and has obtained rich economic returns, which fully proves the value of Dong Run, if Dong Run's scientific research achievements are not valuable, then they will not be promoted at all.

The competition in scientific research in Nyasaland is very cruel and fierce, for example, the Nyasaland Agricultural College has set up a project review team, the audit team reviews the project of scientific researchers, and supervises the use of scientific research funds after allocation, if there is a problem in this process, or the funds are spent but there is no progress, then the impact on scientific researchers is very large, and some people are even driven out of Nyasaland Agricultural College because of the falsification of results.

The consequences of falsification in scientific research results are extremely serious, Nyasaland began to try to establish a credit system a few years ago, for Nyasaland people, economic bankruptcy is not terrible, as long as you work hard there is always a chance to turn over, once the credit is bankrupt, then the person will be ruined, forever lose the opportunity to turn over, and will have a serious impact on their relatives.

Specifically, if a farmer in Nyasaland deliberately sells a sick cow as a healthy cow, the farmer's credit will go bankrupt, and all buyers will no longer buy the agricultural products produced on the farm, and the relevant regulatory authorities will also severely punish the dishonest farmer, and the standard of punishment is generally about 10 times the illegal income.

That is, if the sick cow sells for R20, then the farmer will be fined around R200 and will cause a significant loss of personal credit.

In this case, in Nyasaland, bad things like cheating, abduction, and stealing really rarely happen, and every case caused by personal credit will cause widespread concern in the whole society, so that it will cause great deterrence to some lucky guys, and the cost of breaking the law is so high that people dare not try.

"Hehe, the documents in your hand, as long as you give me two more years, I can complete this project." Dong Yan is confident, but this project can only be completed at Nyasaland Agricultural College, and the results can only belong to the Nyasaland branch.

Dong Yan's ongoing project has been supported by the Nyasaland branch, and the annual grant is also 20,000 or 30,000 rand.

In other words, these achievements were obtained during Dong Yan's work, so even if Dong Yan arrived at the Victoria branch, he could not take away the projects he was currently researching.

Of course, Dong Yan can find a new direction to conduct research, and the Nyasaland branch will not prohibit Dong Yan from engaging in industry-related work for many years.

"So, do you have any projects that have the potential but haven't had time to start yet?" Gao Wei found another way, and researchers like Dong Yan often have more than one project at hand, but multiple teams are conducting research at the same time.

To put it bluntly, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

"Of course, do you want to sponsor me?" Dong Yan did not refuse Gao Wei, after all, he was a brother who slept on the top bunk.

"Tell me about it, what's the project?" Gao Wei is too interested, as long as the project is suitable, Gao Wei doesn't mind doing some preliminary preparation first.

"Last year, the College of Agriculture conducted some research on circular agriculture, do you know what circular agriculture is?" Dong Yan really didn't laugh at Gao Wei, but circular agriculture is still only a theory, and has not been actually put into research.

"I've heard of a few, but it seems that it's only for small farms, not for large farms." Gao Wei is not sure, he is now an administrative official, and it is rare that he still maintains the sensitivity he should have when it comes to technology.

"How is it possible, circular agriculture is suitable for small farms, it is also suitable for large farms, and because of the characteristics of circular agriculture, if it is a large farm, then it will have advantages that small farms do not have." Dong Yan corrected that although circular agriculture is only a theory now, Dong Yan has obviously thought deeply.
