946 Do you want us to make a bet?

It is said that Professor Heslin was also a handsome man when he was young, but unfortunately as the years passed, Professor Heslin grew a beard and balded the top of his head.

The double blow of life and fate did not break Professor Hesling's spiritual world, and his academic achievements were enough to make the world look at him.

The days on the ship were long and boring, and as a highly intelligent family, Professor Hesling's family quickly learned to play mahjong and indulged in it, so that the first class cabin of the "Cape Town" luxury cruise ship was not discussing quantum physics every day, but was full of "30,000", "five cylinders", and "nonsense" full of surprises.

I have to say that mahjong is still very helpful for learning Chinese.

At this time, Professor Heslin would take little Gretel for a walk on the deck, because Mrs. Hesling disliked Professor Hesling's level of mahjong and would rather play with Otto than let Professor Hesling get started.

This made Professor Heslin feel sad, for many years, no one had ever despised Professor Heslin on the IQ level, but it was a pity that Professor Heslin had lost his halberd in mahjong.

The guests on the Cape Town luxury cruise ship were also mixed, but guests from the second class were not allowed to go to the top of the deck for a walk, and the captain of the ship, Colin Pegg, took great care of Professor Heslin's family, and whenever Professor Heslin went for a walk, there was always a waiter with a big waist not far from Professor Heslin.

"Grandpa, how far are we from Southern Africa?" Little Gretel often asks this question.

After having sufficient nutrition, little Gretel has changed very quickly, she is now bright-eyed, cheerful, and curious about everything in the strange world, her former pale little face has a blood color, and her thin body has gradually become healthy, and now little Gretel has combed a small braid, wearing a small beige trench coat outside, and pink boots on her feet, which is really loved by everyone.

"There's about 5,000 kilometers to go—" Professor Heslin didn't know very well, he and little Gretel sat on the bench next to the fence, the morning sun shone on the faces of Professor Hesling and little Gretel, the melodious sea breeze ruffled little Gretel's hair, seagulls passed by, there was a group of dolphins on the sea next to him shuttling between the waves, and a freighter sailed over on the sea in the distance, and took the initiative to whistle and greet the "Cape Town", and little Gretel immediately covered his ears.

Woo –

The horn of the Cape Town was the loudest sound Little Gretel had ever heard, and the first time he heard it, Little Gretel's ears were buzzing all day, and little Gretel remembered this lesson ever since.

"That ship is so big, what's on it?" Little Gretel pointed to the freighter and asked Professor Heslin, his slender white hand commanded people to be compassionate, and Professor Hesling gently stroked little Gretel's hair.

"It's a cargo ship, and it's a promise for the future—" Professor Heslin calmed down, now able to accept the outcome of Germany's defeat.

"Damn the whistle, it's so early in the morning that it's hard to live—" A fat man still wrapped in a nightgown came out of the cabin scolding, presumably woken up by the whistle and in a bad mood.

Professor Hesling didn't take the initiative to say hello, and his attention was on little Gretel.

"Good morning, sir!" The fat man took the initiative to greet Professor Heslin.

"Morning!" In the face of strangers, Professor Hesling has a polite sense of distance.

"Your daughter is so cute, tell your uncle what is your name?" The fat man immediately turned into a strange man, this look is not good.

"Thank you, it's my daughter's daughter." Professor Heslin corrected.

"Oh hahahaha, that's such a coincidence, my daughter also has a daughter, smart, well-behaved and cute, I can't wait to give her the whole world." The fat man is not embarrassed, although it is a little presumptuous, but it is not annoying.

"Where are you going?" Visiting relatives or friends? The fat man grinned and sat down directly beside Professor Heslin.

Professor Heslin frowned.

Before Professor Hesling could speak, the waiter with a large waist and a round waist hurried over, and the handle of the gun under his arm could be clearly seen under his open coat.

But when the waiter saw the fat man, he immediately stopped, his expression uncertain.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Christian from Nyasaland - Christian Locke, the days on the ship are too boring, the Lord has always said that civil aviation should be opened as soon as possible, but the guys from the Flight Research Institute are too slow to solve a simple sound insulation problem, in fact, I think even if there is a little noise, as long as it can save time, it is bearable, time is money My friend, it's a pity that the people at the Flight Research Institute don't understand this." Christian was chattering to himself, and the amount of information in this passage was relatively large, and Professor Hesling needed time to digest it.

This Christian is that Christian, and last year Christian changed his surname to "Locke", which is also very common, after all, the surnames of the kings of England have been changed.

"What is civil aviation?" Professor Hesling was finally intrigued.

"Civil aviation, is to modify the current bomber, the original bomb position is replaced with a seat, can be used for inter-city transportation, how simple a thing, the result has not been completed until now, if it is in my business, I will throw all those guys into the mine to mine." Christian found a cigar out of nowhere and handed it to Professor Hesling.

Professor Heslin politely declined.

Christian put the cigar in his mouth and looked at the waiter who was stunned next to him with a cold look.

The waiter, who had a big waist and waist, immediately pulled out a lighter and respectfully lit it for Christian.

This surprised Professor Heslin a little, and it was the first time he had seen this waiter be so respectful to anyone outside of Professor Hesling's family since he got on the boat.

It's just deferential to the point of a dog's leg.

"Mr. Christian, this is Professor Hesling from Munich, a friend of Rector Kossel—" the waiter reminded softly, his voice disproportionate to his size.

"It's okay, Principal Kossel is also my friend, and I will take good care of Professor Heslin." Christian waved his hand indifferently, and the waiter wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak, and silently retreated ten meters away.

"You know Kosel?" Professor Hesling was surprised, he didn't think Abu would be friends with the rude upstart in front of him.

"Of course, I built Professor Kossel's lab, oh - I have some business in southern Africa, doing some construction, trade, and human resources." Christian is modest, and the scale of Christian's business is really not as simple as "some".

"The development of science and technology should follow objective laws and cannot be achieved overnight." Professor Hesling didn't talk about business, and he was quite critical of Christian's words.

"That's true, but we didn't require the bomber to be free of noise in flight, nor did we require the bomber to fly as fast as the fighter, it was just a simple modification, and it wasn't studied from the most basic level, isn't it difficult?" Christian has his logic, and it is true that the economic development of southern Africa cannot be measured by common sense.

In fact, civil aviation is not Zenith technology, another time and space in 1919, the world's first route between Paris and London was opened.

With the flight technology accumulated in southern Africa, civil aviation in this time and space can only be more advanced and safer than civil aviation in another time and space.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this field-" Professor Heslin is not the kind of mouth cannon who speaks casually in unfamiliar fields, and Professor Heslin has always been very cautious about areas he doesn't understand, and those who fire indiscriminately are known and can easily be slapped in the face.

"How's Kossel's health lately?" Professor Hesling seemed to be inadvertently concerned about Kosel.

"I don't know much about this, I haven't been back to Nyasaland for a long time, and I don't know what Nyasaland will be like now, you may not believe it, every time I go back to Nyasaland, I feel like I'm going to a strange area, Nyasaland is really changing with each passing day, the Rhodes Building built by Mr. Rhodes last year is still the highest height in Southern Africa, and this year I haven't even entered the top three, but Mr. Rhodes is going to build a new Rhodes Building in Los Angeles, and I must compare the Rand Bank headquarters." Christian inadvertently diverted the topic, thinking of the business scope that Christian had just introduced, and Professor Hesling could understand why Christian was so happy.

Needless to say, the construction of the new building will most likely be undertaken by Christian's construction company, otherwise Christian would not be so happy.

"How tall is the Rhodes Tower?" Professor Hesling was easily taken out of rhythm by Christian, and the skyscraper represents the height of a country's economic development and is a concrete manifestation of the country's strength.

"It used to be 260 meters, but the plan is to build 310 meters, the tallest building in the world." Christian pride, and that is the pride of all southern Africans.

It is not known when the construction of skyscrapers became a special hobby for large corporations in southern Africa, with the Nyasaland Agricultural Company's headquarters in Port Edward being 245 meters high, the Rand Bank's headquarters in Los Angeles being 230 meters high, Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals being 220 meters tall in Ziwei City, and Favalt Steel being 215 meters tall in Pretoria.

This does not include the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group Headquarters, the Nyasaland Aviation Group Headquarters, and the Adan Corporation Headquarters in Port Elizabeth, which is under construction.

"Building a skyscraper should also be gradual, from 260 meters to 310 meters, hehe-" Professor Heslin does not think that this leap can be achieved, knowing that the height is up to a certain level, and with each additional meter, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

"Do you want us to make a bet?" Christian is confident, and it is unlikely that such a thing will be developed by leaps and bounds in Europe, but in southern Africa -

It's just commonplace, okay.

ps: Do you want us to make a bet that I can write 12,000 words a day for a few days-
