498 Strength

In Nyasaland, Abu is the undoubted leader in the field of biology, even without penicillin and white medicine, Abu has Nobel level strength in proteins and nucleic acids, and now Abu has gained fame and fortune, and countless scholars come to visit the biological laboratory of the University of Nyasaland every day, and Abu is definitely the mascot of the University of Nyasaland in terms of attracting talents.

Rudolph Diesel is even more powerful, the diesel engine was originally invented by Rudolph Diesel, but in Europe, Rudolph Diesel was poor, after coming to Nyasaland, Rudolph Diesel and the diesel engine shined, and now the mechanical power laboratory led by Rudolph Diesel is developing a high-power diesel engine used in medium tanks, that is, the "Ranger", once successful, the military strength of Southern Africa can be better, It can help the armies of southern Africa to achieve greater superiority in world wars.

In addition to the biological laboratory and the power laboratory, the materials laboratory and the agricultural laboratory are less famous, but more powerful.

The materials laboratory of the University of Nyasaland is developed on the basis of the materials laboratory of the Favart Iron and Steel Plant, thanks to the mineral resources of southern Africa, at least there is no problem in terms of raw materials, material testing is actually a process of accumulation, the reason why the industry in southern Africa is developing faster and faster, and the great progress in materials science is inseparable, especially in the field of aviation, other flight teams outside southern Africa, The Wright brothers' team is still using animal fur and wood as the basic materials for the aircraft to reduce the weight of the fuselage as much as possible, and southern Africa has begun experimenting with using more metal on the fuselage to increase the strength of the fuselage.

As for the agricultural laboratory, if you look at the current Nyasaland and Rhodesia and the Transvaal, you can see that the potato yield per mu in Europe is still hovering around 1,000 kilograms, the potato yield in southern Africa has begun to soar to 3,000 kilograms per mu, and when there is still a general famine in Eurasia, there are too many potatoes in southern Africa to be eaten, and the output of potato vodka is rising, and brewers all over the world are beginning to feel the threat of potatoes in southern Africa.

In addition to grain breeding, the agricultural laboratory is also committed to the improvement of various livestock, especially breeding cattle, in many places in southern Africa, such as Bechuana, due to the terrain restrictions, cattle breeding is the best choice, so the agricultural laboratory on the basis of Angus cattle and Simmental cattle crossbreeding research, hoping to improve more suitable breeding cattle in Bechuana.

However, this work will not bear fruit for a while, and it will not be until at least ten or twenty years from now that the agricultural laboratory will produce results, but if it is successful, then the whole of southern Africa will benefit from it.

For the University of Nyasaland, Viscount Gladstone is most concerned about funding.

"Part of our funding comes from social donations, part of it comes from state grants, and part of it is self-funded, and the Ministry of Education has been doing it for almost three years, and the Ministry of Education has only given five thousand pounds, and then they have ignored our University of Nyasaland, and sometimes I wonder if the ministers of the Ministry of Education are biased against our University of Nyasaland." Professor Douglas seized the opportunity to complain that although the University of Nyasaland could develop well even without funding from the Ministry of Education, it still had to ask for the money it should have, and it was still necessary to cry about poverty appropriately.

"The Ministry of Education has the difficulties of the Ministry of Education, you have to know that in the past two years, the Ministry of Education has to improve public education, to set up more institutions of higher learning, to devote itself to improving the level of national culture, and the Ministry of Education itself has not enough funds - in other words, the funds of that department are enough now, and there is a shortage of money everywhere." Viscount Gladstone can understand the distress of the Ministry of Education, and the University of Nyasaland is now a higher education institution in Southern Africa, and it is unreasonable to say that the Ministry of Education is indifferent.

At the very least, the University of Nyasaland has a grant from the Nyasaland State Government, and there is also a huge amount of social funding, and Christian alone donated more than 300,000 rand last year, which is more than the Ministry of Education's allocation to the other three universities combined.

As early as a few years ago, the University of Nyasaland cooperated with many companies in Nyasaland to train more high-quality professionals for companies in Nyasaland for a fee.

Now the Directorate General of Taxation is also cooperating with the University of Nyasaland, which trains 100 accountants a year for the General Department of Taxation, for which the General Department of Taxation pays the University of Nyasaland 200,000 rand a year.

Don't underestimate the 200,000 rand, the annual funding of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Nyasaland adds up to 200,000.

"Our Nyasarland government is also very financially tight, although it seems that the Nyasarland government is in the best financial position in the ten states, but the Nyasarland government's expenses are also the largest in all the ten states, we now have 5,000 border police, and the expenditure of this piece will be more than one million rand a year, fortunately we have a police-civilian joint defense system to reduce the burden of border defense to the greatest extent, otherwise our expenses do not know how many times it will increase." Anton, of course, has to make a statement at this time.

Roque pretended to be stupid and didn't speak, there are now several large consortia in Nyasaland that belong to Roque privately, in terms of economic strength, Roque is now only stronger than Xiao Si, so money is not a problem, and now the financial situation of the Nyasaland government is quite normal, and when it is really too much to support, Roque will naturally find a way.

Viscount Gladstone also knew the actual situation, but Roque didn't pick up, and Viscount Gladstone couldn't help it, after all, it was a private property that was sacrosanct, so Viscount Gladstone could only look at Roque and hum dissatisfied.

In the evening, Professor Douglas held a welcome banquet for Viscount Gladstone in the city hall, according to the regulations of southern Africa, Xuanji City is also to hold democratic elections, but the so-called democratic elections in Nyasaland are formal, in order to ensure that the entire city of Xuanji City serves the University of Nyasaland wholeheartedly, the mayor of Xuanji City is also concurrently served by Professor Douglas, so as to fully protect the interests of Nyasaland University.

The dinner held in Xuanji City, in addition to officials, must at least have the title of associate professor, so the overall cultural quality level of the participants, not to mention in southern Africa, even in Europe, is not bad at all.

So the atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious, the officials in suits and leather shoes talked happily with each other, the food provided at the banquet was also very rich, and the most popular was still the variety of cocktails carefully prepared by the bartenders specially invited from the Oak Bar.

There is no need to say anything about this kind of occasion, Roque is very busy all day, and Professor Douglas has rarely seen Roque for a few months, and now he has the opportunity to start pouring bitter water.

"The school is getting bigger and stronger, and the requirements of the various departments are getting higher and higher, the law school wants to increase funding, the school of arts wants to increase the voice of the text, the school of art wants to have more museums, the mechanical department wants to expand the laboratory, the medical school wants to merge the Johannesburg Medical School, the school of education also wants to gain greater autonomy, and as for the school of finance and economics, they would rather have their own expenses and have an independent campus-" Professor Douglas is also not a good parent, but this can also reflect, The situation at the University of Nyasaland is indeed getting better and better.

"The University of Nyasaland is not stable now, and it cannot be blindly expanded, the University of Nyasaland in the field of biology is still only Professor Abu outstanding, and in the field of mechanical engineering, there is still only Professor Diesel as a pillar of optimism, and there are no outstanding candidates in other colleges, at least there must be more than two leaders in one college, and then consider splitting up more professional colleges." Roque is not in a hurry, at the moment of 1910, no famous university in the world is out of reach, and the University of Nyasaland will develop at the current pace, and sooner or later it will become a world-famous university on the same level as Oxford and Cambridge.

In fact, it is already beginning to take shape, at least in terms of student origin, the University of Nyasaland has an unbeatable advantage.

Compulsory education in Nyasaland began long before the Ministry of Education introduced public education in southern Africa, and all new immigrants who settle in Nyasaland are required to go through a year of language school training and then begin six years of compulsory education.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of compulsory education, the Nyasasa State Government will often send education commissioners to inspect schools in various places, and the teachers and hardware facilities of the schools must be strictly assessed by the Nyasasa State Government every year.

Today, more than 95 per cent of school-age children in Nyasaland, including those of Gurkha descent, are enrolled in school, and only those in remote areas are not covered by compulsory education.

After six years of compulsory schooling, these students choose different schools according to their grades, the best of which is of course the University of Nyasaland, and then the less qualified students are forced to enter various vocational and technical colleges to learn specialized skills in order to enter the society in the future.

In Nyasaland, vocational education colleges have begun to enter the subdivision, from the various types of technical jobs required in factories to the variety of special colleges such as education, medical care, military, and even aviation, Roque's goal is to enable everyone to master a skill, so that they can contribute to society in the future.
