If Roque wants to start a new project, he doesn't need to find anyone else at all, he just needs to call Xiao Si, Henry, and Owen.

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

Although Edison and Carnegie both insisted that radio was invented by the Italian Marconi and that by 1906 the U.S. Patent Office would revoke Nikola Tesla's patent, Roque still went to Tesla to buy a wireless telegraph and a radio-related patent.

It was only in Nyasaland that after Roque bought the patent for wireless telegraphy from Nikola Tesla, he could produce wireless telegraphs in Nyasaland and sell them in Nyasaland.

As for where those customers use the radios after they buy them, this is not something that Roque can control, nor can Nikola Tesla control.

Nikola Tesla has a lawsuit against Marconi.

In fact, the radio of this period is not much complicated, sometimes the breakthrough of technology is a layer of window paper, with patent drawings, you can design the production line according to the patent drawings, and then there is the technical guidance of professionals, the assembly line workers to master the technology is actually very simple, in fact, it is a proficiency problem, with the accumulation of experience, proficiency will one day be full.

Roque did not want to produce all the parts and components needed for radios in Nyasaland as soon as he came up, and of course those that could be produced were produced locally in Nyasaland, and Roque would go to Europe to purchase them if he could not produce them, and no matter which country he was, he would not refuse to sell the parts and components needed for the production of radios to Nyasaland, because no matter which country it was, it would not think that Nyasaland's industrial products would pose a threat to its own industry.

Definitely not now, but Roque will never be satisfied, at the same time as the establishment of the radio factory, Roque also established the Radio Research Institute, on the basis of Nikola Tesla's patent, Roque will continue to research, and strive to make the radio smaller in size, clearer in signal, and longer in transmission distance.

By the way, the radio factory and the radio research institute, both Roque is wholly owned, Nyasaland is not the Transvaal, and in Nyasaland, Roque does not need to scruple anyone.

Xiao Si, Henry, and Owen are very interested in the medical school and the pharmaceutical factory, and a simple share plan is immediately released, Roque and Xiao Si and Henry each have 30 percent of the shares of the medical school and the factory, and Owen has 10 percent, and then Owen begins to run for the medical school and the medical factory in the name of the Liberal Party, and in the preparation stage, all Roque has to do is pay for it, and then don't worry about anything.

It is certainly better to come forward in the name of the collective than to come forward in the name of the individual.

Owen found Philip, and he was about to get to a large piece of land on the outskirts of Johannesburg, Philip was so generous at this time, he didn't even ask for a land transfer money, which made Roque think that it was a large area, and there was no way to see people less than ten square kilometers, and there were several farms in this area, and each farmer was compensated for ten pounds of land per acre, and happily sold the farm to the city government, and then immediately took the money to Pretoria to buy a larger number of farms.

You can't go to Pretoria, there are no farms around Johannesburg that can be bought, and even if there are, they are far away from Johannesburg, and in terms of location, they are really not as good as the farms around Pretoria.

These ten square kilometers are all used for pharmaceutical factories, and the medical school should be built in Ziwei Town, and there is no need to occupy land in Johannesburg.

Abu was immediately appointed by Roque as the dean of the medical school, and because Abu was busy with research work on a daily basis, the medical school also needed an executive dean who was responsible for day-to-day management.

Executive Dean Roque chose Douglas, although Douglas is an expert in agriculture and has nothing to do with medicine, but Douglas is still in charge of day-to-day administration, and with this position, it is more convenient for Douglas to dig from Europe.

Money can't buy loyalty, but it can buy results, and it's enough to have results, and it can already attract many people.

This means that Abu's research has not yet come to fruition, and once Abu does, then more people will be willing to come to Johannesburg.

In fact, in order to make Abu produce results, Roque also helped think of a lot of ways, don't think about aspirin, the aspirin researched by the Germans has just been applied to the clinic, and now it has not really reflected its value, Roque has sent people to Germany to find Bayer Laboratories to buy aspirin-related patents for production and sales in Johannesburg, if there is no accident, aspirin is the future fist product of the pharmaceutical factory.

Regarding the results of his research, Roque tried to get Abu to turn his attention to penicillin and artemisia annua, both of which are of great significance to all of humanity, and any breakthrough in either could win Abu himself great honor.

Artemisia annua is an upgraded version of cinchona cream, whether it is from the efficacy, or the side effects of the drug, cinchona cream is not as good as Artemisia annua, although cinchona cream is known as the "miracle drug", but in the treatment of malaria, it is often better in the late stage of malaria, and often has no effect in the early and middle stages, and it will also lead to frequent recurrence of the disease.

In addition, cinchona cream can cause many serious side effects, the most serious of which can even be life-threatening for the user, and these side effects have led to the prohibition of cinchona cream for a time.

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

The impact of malaria on the Chinese is still relatively large, most of the Chinese in Johannesburg and Nyasaland come from the north of the Qing Dynasty, they come to Johannesburg and Nyasaland, often have to face the threat of malaria, for the time being, malaria is the number one threat to the Chinese in southern Africa, because the number one Chinese who died of malaria infection have reached more than 1,000 from the year before last to now.

The Chinese have long known that Artemisia annua decoction can treat malaria, and there is a record of the "elbow reserve prescription" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to use Artemisia annua "grinding juice" medicine, after Luo Ke knew about this, he asked Liang Dingxin to bring Artemisia annua from the Qing Dynasty and try to plant it in Nyasaland, and it is said that the effect is very good, better than the cinchona cream known as the "miracle medicine".

Malaria is not only a threat to the Chinese, but also a serious threat to all people in the world, especially for humans in the tropics.

With the support of the policy and the sufficient supply of funds, the preparation of the school and the factory is progressing smoothly, because of the special situation, the school and the factory have to use permanent reinforced concrete buildings, so the preparation of materials has begun from now on, the machinery and steel are mainly ordered from Europe, the stone comes from Zululand, the cement is no problem, and the cement plant in Favart is still expanding, and after the rainy season, it is enough to ensure the needs of the construction site.

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

In November, the plague epidemic in the Transvaal was finally effectively controlled, and the epidemic in Johannesburg was not found for a week until November 10, and no suspected plague patients were found, which means that the epidemic is over and Johannesburg can lift martial law.

The situation in Pretoria was slightly worse, but by November 15 the outbreak was also declared over.

Only the outbreak in Orange is still severe, with hundreds of people dying every day from the plague in November, and Dr. Fred Hansa from Ziwei Hospital to Bloemfontein died of plague on November 16.

The news came back to Johannesburg, Roque didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't go to Ade, he still should go to work, change back to Ziwei Town, and go back to Ziwei Town, and he was not affected by this news.

Philip was pleased with this, believing that it was a sign that Roque was beginning to mature.

Owen was very surprised, he thought that Roque would take advantage of the problem, but he didn't expect Roque to accept the reality so calmly.

"Excuse the issue? It's impossible, it's a pretext now, it has no effect except to incur the disgust of the Palace of Justice, now our biggest enemy is the plague, what's the matter, wait until the plague epidemic is over, it's useless to say anything now. "Roque doesn't go to Ade, believing that Ade can see the sacrifice Johannesburg has 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 Ade level.

The only thing that Roque regretted was Fred Hansa, but Fred Hansa was a Boer, and when he consulted doctors at the Ziwei Hospital, Fred Hansa volunteered to go to Bloemfontein, so Fred Hansa also died a well-deserved death, and the only thing Roque could do was to take care of Fred Hansea's family as much as possible, and not to disappoint Fred Hansa and the other doctors at Ziwei Hospital.

"That's right, Locke, I've always been worried that you're too extreme, and now it seems that you are still very sensible." Owen looks like he is very good, and it doesn't look like Owen can say it, but it looks like Philip's evaluation of Roque, and Owen just paraphrases it.

Roque doesn't care, the Boers have always done a good job of playing the role of "victim", and Roque is now trying to learn from the Boers to play the role of "victim", so that only crying children can have milk.
