The correct ratio of carbon black reinforcing rubber should be two to one, that is, two parts of rubber and one part of carbon black, so that the effect of wear resistance is the best.

Although Roque has experienced the era of the big explosion of knowledge, he has never understood such a remote knowledge, so Roque cannot give guidance in this regard, and everything depends on the experiments of engineers.

Fortunately, Roque knows the value of knowledge, so at all costs, the engineers of Nyasaland have found the right ratio, and in the current state of technology, the engineers of Nyasaland have almost done the extreme.

"We have carried out more than 200 experiments before and after, and finally found the best ratio, now we have applied for patents in many European countries and the United States, others if they want to produce wear-resistant tires, they must pay us the corresponding patent fees, we charge 20 pounds for each tire, and then we will further research, and strive to be at the forefront of the world in tire research." Rudolf Diesel is still very confident, the patent fee in this period is actually very expensive, basically the cost of producing a tire is about 20 pounds, but the patent fee reaches as much as 20 pounds.

The so-called technical barriers are formed in this way, one step can not catch up, step by step can not catch up, Nyasaland in the tire as long as one patent, the next patent will be more and more, Roque does not know the correct proportion of carbon black reinforcing rubber, but Roque knows the difference between inner tube and outer tire, Roque also knows radial tires and bias tires, so, the future of Nyasaland in the research of tires will be many years ahead of the world.

This is the IQ tax, and Roque will definitely not be able to do this alone, but Roque now has a team, so Roque is not worried.

"Take your time, don't rush, first determine the prototype of the truck, and then talk about the rest." Roark still had time to slowly adjust, and Ford would not introduce the Model T until 1908.

Before Ford launched the Model T, none of the car companies in the world could beat it.

Ford's Model T also relied on the assembly line to occupy the world's automobile market.

Now Henry Ford has just signed the founding documents with 11 initial investors, this is Henry Ford's third attempt to start a car manufacturing business, this time it will end in failure, by 1908, it is estimated that Nyasaland cars will fill the American market, when Henry Ford -

Hehe.

"Why do we have to put all our energy into trucks, we can make cars now, I don't know how Bobby's progress is, tomorrow I want to go to Bobby's factory to see." Rudolf Diesel was still idealistic, but he was doomed to disappointment, and the diesel engine, perhaps for a long time, could not be used in the sedan market.

The first company in the world to apply diesel engines to cars was Volkswagen, and in 1976, Volkswagen used diesel engines for the first time in Volkswagen's golf cars.

Roque does not do useless work, before the process of diesel engine is not greatly improved, all attempts to use diesel engine in cars are doomed to failure, so Roque will hand over the car to Bobby Holt for research, motorcycle engines and sedan engines in this era are actually similar, Bobby Holt's side has more advantages.

"Yes, you can go to Bobby, you can visit Bobby's factory, but Rudolph, for a long time, diesel engines can only be used in trucks, tractors, ships, and even future tanks, and for a long time, diesel engines cannot be used in cars." Roque bluntly stated that Rudolf Diesel certainly had confidence in the diesel engine, but there was no basis for this confidence.

"What is a tank?" Rudolf Diesel finally asked the question.

"Tank - you know the heavy cavalry, the tank is the heavy cavalry of the future, using machine drives, adding thicker armor, with more powerful firepower to charge the enemy's positions, it is not yet time to study the tank, because the power of the diesel engine is not enough, you have to develop a more powerful diesel engine, and then the tank will become a reality." Roque, of course, also hoped that Rudolf Diesel would work on a tank now, but that was unrealistic.

In mid-November, Rudolf Diesel returned to Nyasaland with a lot of harvest and a lot of regret.

The medical school, located between Ziwei Town and Johannesburg, was finally built, and both Ade and Philip attended the opening ceremony of the medical school.

The Faculty of Medicine is divided into Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, War Emergency Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Abu is still very powerful, before the completion of the medical school, the purification of Artemisia annua was completed, although Abu is still unable to explain why Artemisia annua has a special effect on malaria, but Artemisia annua relative to cinchona, the effect is far more than a lot, Roque's farm is now planted with more than 1,000 acres of Artemisia annua, a month ago has been completed The pharmaceutical factory is purifying the artemisia annua, once the experiment is successful, Artemisia annua will become the fist product of the pharmaceutical factory, completely replacing the role of cinchona cream in the drug system.

Yes, although cinchona cream has such and such shortcomings, but now cinchona cream is still a special drug against malaria, now the price of cinchona cream is comparable to gold, the emergence of artemisia annua, will completely sweep cinchona cream into the old paper pile of history, at most one or two years, artemisia annua will replace the position of cinchona cream.

"So, this medicine is important?" Unbeknownst to Ade, the biological laboratory had already produced results.

"Very important, Your Excellency the Governor, you should know that the biggest obstacle to exploration and exploration is not the confrontation of the natives, nor the dangerous terrain, those invisible viruses are the biggest problems we encounter, the Transvaal is normal now, but in Nyasaland and Rhodesia, there are still many no-man's land waiting for us to explore, so Artemisia annua is very important, with Artemisia annua, our losses in colonial exploration will be reduced by ninety percent." Roque casually listed the data, these data are actually not accurate, but who cares, Ade doesn't know anything about Artemisia annua.

In fact, southern Africa is better, in Central Africa or South America, the role of Artemisia annua is more important, both places are tropical rainforest areas, malaria is rampant, it is impossible to prevent, explorers die of malaria every day, the success of Artemisia annua's research is a huge blessing for all explorers.

"Have you applied for a patent?" Ade is also concerned with patents.

Patents are so lucrative in this day and age that it's impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye.

Compared with tires, the patents of drugs are more practical and more valuable, and the patents of tires, Nyasaland only charges 100% of the cost, and the patents of Artemisia annua, Roque can directly charge 1,000%.

"We have already applied for it, this is our first major invention, and we must not contribute to all mankind for free, and we will continue to use the patent fees collected for the research of other drugs to develop more specific drugs as much as possible." Roque will not be satisfied, drugs have been a profiteering industry until the 21st century, and Roque will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

Ade nodded, stopped talking, and walked into the medical school accompanied by Roque.

The gate of the medical school is like a traditional Chinese archway, and the beam above the archway is a complete log, and in the twenty-first century, trees of this level have been basically mined, and now there is everything, so Roque is welcome, all the standards are the highest.

When you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a huge square, all the ground of the square has been hardened, and instead of asphalt, it is made of large and small irregular stone slabs, which is the way the Romans built roads.

When the Romans built roads, they generally had large stones at the bottom, then small stones, and then a layer of small stones, and the top was a road made of stone slabs.

In this way, such a road can be guaranteed to be not broken for decades, or even hundreds of years.

Thanks to Roque's high standards, the medical school's ground was hardened, no different from the roads built by the Romans.

Walking into the square, many male and female students who have just entered the medical school are putting on a show in the square.

They wander around, talk, and make friends at every opportunity.

This is the advantage of going to college, you yourself can not be outstanding, but your friends or classmates can be excellent, this is the so-called "one person gets the way and the chicken dog ascends to heaven", although Roque also hates it, but Roque also knows very well that this cannot be avoided.

"How many people are in the medical school now?" Ade isn't that easy to fool either.

"This year, the medical school has just started enrollment, the total number of first-year students has exceeded three hundred, we far underestimate the enthusiasm of Transvaal students for medical school, in fact, if we want, the scale of medical school can now exceed a thousand, but that is meaningless, the professors who are willing to take students have limited energy, one person can bring up to three or five, we still need professional doctors, the more the better." Roque is also crying poor, although the new First Cavalry Division has a lot of funds, but Roque can't find anyone even if he has money, so what's the point?

"How many professors are there in the medical school now?" Ade was noncommittal, after all, it was a rare talent, and Ade didn't dare to pack a ticket with Roque.

"There are less than ten real professional doctors, and even fewer people have the title of professor, Abu is the dean of the medical school, but Abu also has to take care of the biological laboratory, so many times, Abu will take care of one or the other, and the management of the medical school is carried out by Professor Douglas." Roque finally found an opportunity to recommend Douglas to Ade, since he changed careers in administration, Douglas has not performed well enough, this guy is an official fan, and now he wants to climb up.

"Ten people, that's a bit less." Ade didn't know that the medical school turned out to be a donkey dung egg.

"We've got all the experts and professors we have possible, and a lot of people don't want to come to Johannesburg." Roque regretted it very much, and those people will definitely regret it in the future.
