Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines have many disadvantages such as bulkiness, high noise, high vibration, and high pollution.

Corresponding to the shortcomings, the diesel engine has high power, good economy, and higher reliability, which is enough for Roque to ignore the shortcomings of the diesel engine, not to mention, what Nyasaland has to solve now is whether there is a problem, not a question of whether it is good or not, and there is no need to consider the comfort of the tractor operator, as long as the tractor can be used in agricultural production, this is Rudolph Diesel's greatest contribution to Nyasaland.

The result is obvious, the tractor codenamed "Monster" took half an hour to reclaim one-half of the land, and if it was replaced by a horse, the efficiency would be about the same, but the cost of raising four horses was much more expensive than a tractor with only diesel fuel, and the tractor did not need to rest and did not need to be taken care of from time to time, so there were many advantages.

Roque and Rudolph Diesel knew the strength of the tractor, so they were not too surprised, but Xiao Si and Buck and George were very enthusiastic.

"Now it seems that the tractor can completely replace the role of the horse." Buck is extremely excited, in Buck's opinion, the biggest benefit of the tractor may be that it does not produce horse manure, in order to prevent horse manure from being seen everywhere, Ziwei Town has even legislated, not allowing horses to enter Ziwei Town, only the mounted police can ride horses in the town, and the horses of the mounted police are trained and will not defecate in the open during the work.

Look, some people are not even as good as horses.

"It's too early to completely replace them, but tractors do have an advantage over livestock." George thinks more, the role of pulling the horse is not only ploughing, but also pulling the cart and transporting when the farm is slack, the same is a lot of benefits, the tractor can not replace the role of the horse in this regard, look at the track of the tractor to know, these two tracks must have a huge destructive effect on the road.

"Locke, where did you buy this tractor?" Xiao Si can't wait the most, what Rhodesia lacks is labor, and the role of tractors in labor is huge, Xiao Si can completely ignore those negative effects.

Roque and Rudolph Diesel look at each other, and Rudolph Diesel answers the question.

"It's not bought, it's our own production in Nyasaland, and it can be mass-produced in a while, and if Mr. Rhodes wants to buy it, you can pay a deposit to Mr. Rogue now." Rudolf Diesel was proud and a little worried, the tractor in the distance seemed to be malfunctioning, and the tractor driver was looking this way, but fortunately Xiao Si and Buck did not pay attention.

Roque smiled dumbly, raised his hand and signaled, and the technicians who were watching the play on the side immediately ran towards the tractor.

These technicians are very interesting, and just now they intentionally or unintentionally formed a human wall to block Xiao Si's view, for fear that the failure over there would affect the business of Roque's side.

Roque doesn't care about this money, let alone pit Xiaosi, compared with selling tractors, Roque pays more attention to the reliability of tractors.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Si finally noticed the situation of the tractor in the distance.

"It should be a bit of a problem, after all, it has just appeared, and it is normal for some problems to occur." Roque does not shy away from buying as much as Xiao Si can buy, and more must be used by himself, so the quality issue is very important, and Roque does not want to buy a car and send a maintenance team to Xiao Si like him.

The problem was not serious, the technician replaced a part, the tractor continued to work, and both Roque and Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief.

"We still have to continue to improve, don't be afraid of problems, it's good to have problems now." Roque then remembered that in the past, to train a driver, not only to be able to drive, but also to repair the car, so there was a special driver training school, and now it seems that in the future, it will be necessary to open driver training schools in Nyasaland and Johannesburg to train tractor drivers.

"We're going to keep trying—" Rudolf Diesel sulked, no one knew this was going to happen, which was a bit of a demoralizer to the technicians.

"Alright, cheer up, it's impressive to be able to do this, I'll treat everyone to a beer in the evening—" Roque was generous, and several young technicians immediately cheered, successfully attracting the glaring of the older ones.

At the Oak Bar at night, the atmosphere was very warm, and Roque also changed out of his police uniform and drank with Xiao Si in the Oak Bar.

Like the Oak Bar in Cape Town, the bar girls in Purple Town wear a variety of maid outfits, which were designed by Ada, so Roque remembered Ada, who had returned to Cape Town, and didn't know how Ada was doing.

"I heard that you made Cape Town (Manhattan)?" Xiao Si didn't know enough about Roque's history.

"Yes, it was boring in the City of Cowards at that time—" Roque was holding a depth charge, a name that many people didn't understand, because submarines were not well known to the general public, so depth charges were just a cocktail.

"City of Cowards? Why the name? "Xiao Si was very curious, he did not participate in the Boer War, and he did not know the specifics of the Boer War.

Roque explained the meaning of "Coward's City" again, and Xiao Si laughed: "I didn't expect you to be a coward with thick eyebrows and big eyes, London should really make you a Baron Stellenbosch-"

This is said as if Baron Stellenbosch no one wants it, if there is really this title, a lot of people rush to ask for it, such as a certain guy who has money and land, but he doesn't have a title, and envy Roque to death.

In order to enhance the style of the bar, the Oak Bar now has its own performance team, and often hires all kinds of miscellaneous teams from Europe to perform at the Oak Bar, in fact, the performance level is not very high, just to set off the atmosphere and create a gimmick.

Tonight, a performance team from Paris came to the Oak Bar to perform, and the performance forms were quite rich, with clowns playing burlesque, middle-aged men singing operas, and a few little girls dancing a ballet.

Xiao Si used to watch ballet in the Grand Theater, but it was the first time he watched it in a bar.

So Xiao Si was very curious, and when he called the busy bartender to ask, he found out that it was not a little girl, but a few dwarfs with congenital underdevelopment, and he was immediately completely interested.

Roque was not sad or happy, leaned on the bar and watched coldly, the bartender probably saw that Roque didn't like it very much, so the performance on the small stage ended in a hurry.

The other drinkers were a little regretful, but no one dared to scold, let alone make trouble, everyone in Ziwei Town knew that Roque was the owner of the Oak Bar, and a few outsiders couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Let's go, let's go, it's boring, that's not good for you Ziwei Town, I don't even have a chance to bully people." Xiao Si still has a little regret, he doesn't want to think about it, bullying these ordinary people can't bring him much pleasure at all, will humans feel comfortable crushing an ant?

It's impossible, the difference in strength is too big, even if you pretend to slap your face, you won't have the slightest emotional fluctuation.

What's more, it's really rare to see people who don't have long eyes, in the corner of the bar where Roque and Xiao Si stayed, there were several big men in black suits with bulging waists around, there were a total of three bartenders in the bar, two bartenders were busy, and the last bartender didn't go to help, just waiting next to Roque and Xiao Si to provide services for Roque and Xiao Si.

The same kind of people who don't have eyesight will probably live to be old enough to enter a bar.

Walking out of the Oak Bar, Ziwei Town is still lively at night, with the power supply, street lights have been installed on the main streets of Ziwei Town, these street lights are always on all night, even if it is midnight, the streets are empty, and the street lights will not be turned off.

This is actually a very extravagant behavior, even in London and Paris, electric lighting is a service that only the aristocratic and rich can enjoy, and ordinary people have no opportunity to contact it.

So there are a lot of people on the streets of Ziwei Town, the townspeople who go out of their homes to enjoy the shade, the shop employees who distribute leaflets on the roadside, the tourists who come to Ziwei Town to admire the street lamps, and the choirs on both sides of the square, all of which together paint a beautiful picture.

However, the area around the choir is a bit deserted now, and it is not as lively as it used to be when there was only a Catholic choir.

The Protestant church had not yet been built, but the priests and nuns immediately joined the "battle" for believers, and Father Frank had a preconceived advantage, but the religion was the Anglican religion of England, and the two families were evenly matched.

In the past, in order to win believers, Father Frank would also distribute some small gifts, snacks or something, but now that Protestants have joined, the two families have a tacit understanding that they no longer use material temptations, but rely on their own strength to pull people.

As a result, the Chinese, who make up the majority of the population of Ziwei Town, immediately lost interest in the church.

Just kidding, when I used to go to church to worship, I could mix a few eggs, or an apple or something, but now that there is nothing, it is better to go to church and sleep at home than to waste time.

Xiao Si probably didn't know the power of cocktails, he drank a few more glasses tonight, and now he was a little drunk, and seeing the crowd in front of him, Xiao Si was quite emotional.

"Locke, will this be the case in Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the future?" Even if he was already drunk, Xiao Si did not forget about Rhodesia.

"Of course, in another twenty years, all the towns in Rhodesia and Nyasaland will be like this." Roque is confident that what he needs most now is time.

"That's good, in another twenty years, I can still wait." Xiao Si laughed, the laughter had not yet fallen, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Roque was still emotional, but when Xiao Si woke up the next day, he forgot everything he had said.

"Locke, Nyasaland is now able to produce tractors?" Xiao Si still remembered the tractor.

"Yes—" Roque generously admitted, in fact, the "production" was a bit too much, and now Nyasaland can only be assembled.

This is a big improvement over the previous Nyasaland.
