It is said that Professor Heslin was also a handsome guy when he was young. Unfortunately, as the years passed, Professor Heslin grew a beard and became bald.
The double blow of life and fate did not break Professor Heslin's spiritual world. His academic achievements were enough to attract the attention of the whole world.
The days on the ship were long and boring. As a highly intelligent family, Professor Heslin and his family soon learned to play mahjong and became addicted to it. As a result, the first-class cabin of the "Cape Town" luxury cruise ship was not full of people playing mahjong every day.
The discussion of quantum physics is full of "30,000", "five tubes", and "Hu Liao" full of surprises.
I have to say that Mahjong is very helpful for learning Chinese.
Every time at this time, Professor Heslin would take little Gretel for a walk on the deck, because Mrs. Heslin disliked Professor Heslin's bad mahjong playing skills and would rather play with Otto than let Professor Heslin do it.
Get started.
This makes Professor Heslin feel sad. For many years, no one has ever despised Professor Heslin in terms of IQ. Unfortunately, Professor Heslin failed in mahjong.
The guests on the "Cape Town" luxury cruise ship are also mixed, but the guests in second class and below cannot go for a walk on the top deck. Captain Colin Pegg cares deeply about Professor Heslin's family, and whenever Professor Heslin goes for a walk
There is always a tall and round waiter not far from Professor Heslin.
"Grandpa, how far are we from southern Africa?" Little Gretel often asked this question.
With sufficient nutrition, little Gretel changed quickly. She now has bright eyes, cheerful personality, and is full of curiosity about everything in the strange world. Her previously pale face has gained color, and her thin body has gradually become healthier.
, now little Gretel has her hair braided, wearing a beige windbreaker and pink boots. She is really loved by everyone.
"About five thousand kilometers -" Professor Heslin was not sure. He and Little Gretel were sitting on the bench next to the fence. The rising sun in the morning shone on the faces of Professor Heslin and Little Grete.
The melodious sea breeze ruffled Little Grete's hair, seagulls passed by, and a group of dolphins shuttled between the waves on the sea next to her. A cargo ship came over on the sea in the distance, honking its horn and saying "Cape Town"
He said hello, and little Gretel immediately covered his ears.
Woo——
The whistle of the "Cape Town" was the loudest sound Little Gretel had ever heard. When he heard it for the first time, Little Gretel's ears were buzzing all day long. From then on, Little Gretel remembered it.
Learn this lesson.
"That ship is so big, what's on it?" Little Gretel asked Professor Heslin, pointing to the freighter. His slender white fingers were endearing, and Professor Heslin gently stroked Little Gretel's hair.
"That's a cargo ship, carrying hope for the future -" Professor Heslin was calm. He could now accept the result of Germany's defeat.
"Damn whistle, it makes people uneasy so early in the morning -" A fat man still wrapped in a nightgown cursed and walked out of the cabin. He was probably awakened by the whistle and was in a bad mood.
Professor Heslin did not take the initiative to say hello, his attention was focused on little Gretel.
"Good morning, sir!" The fat man took the initiative to greet Professor Heslin.
"Morning!" Professor Heslin was polite and distant when facing strangers.
"Your daughter is so cute, tell uncle what your name is?" The fat man immediately transformed into a strange squid. This look in his eyes was not good enough.
"Thank you, she is my daughter's daughter." Professor Heslin corrected.
"Oh hahahaha, that's such a coincidence. My daughter also has a daughter. She is smart, well-behaved and cute. I wish I could give her the whole world." The fat man was not embarrassed. Although he was a bit presumptuous, he was not annoying.
"Where is your destination? To visit relatives or to visit friends?" The fat man said carelessly and sat down directly next to Professor Heslin.
Professor Heslin frowned.
Before Professor Heslin could say anything, the tall and round waiter came over quickly. The handle of the gun under his arm could be clearly seen in his open coat.
But when the waiter saw the fat man, he immediately stopped and looked surprised.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Christian from Nyasaland - Christian Locke. The days on the ship are too boring. The Lord has always said that civil aviation should be launched as soon as possible, but the efficiency of the guys at the Flight Research Institute is too slow. A simple
The sound insulation problem cannot be solved. In fact, I think even if there is a little noise, it can be tolerated as long as it saves time. Time is money, my friend. It’s a pity that the people at the Flight Research Institute don’t understand this.” Christian kept talking to himself.
, the amount of information in this passage is relatively large, and Professor Heslin needs time to digest it.
This Christian is that Christian. Last year Christian changed his surname to "Locke". This situation is also very common. After all, the surnames of the British kings have all been changed.
"What is civil aviation?" Professor Heslin's interest was finally aroused.
"Civil aviation is to modify the current bombers and replace the original bomb-loading positions with seats, so that they can be used for inter-city transportation. It is such a simple thing, but it has not been completed yet. If it is in my country
In our company, I threw all those guys into the mine to mine." Christian took out a cigar from nowhere and handed it to Professor Heslin.
Professor Heslin politely declined.
Christian put the cigar in his mouth and looked at the waiter standing next to him with cold eyes.
The tall and round waiter immediately took out a lighter and respectfully lit it for Christian.
This surprised Professor Heslin. After boarding the ship, this was the first time that Professor Heslin saw this waiter being so respectful to someone other than Professor Heslin's family.
It's almost disrespectful to the point of being disrespectful.
"Mr. Christian, this is Professor Hessling from Munich, a friend of President Kosel -" the waiter reminded softly, in a voice that was extremely out of proportion to his size.
"It doesn't matter. Principal Cosell is also my friend. I will take good care of Professor Heslin." Christian waved his hand indifferently. The waiter wanted to say something, but in the end he did not dare to speak and silently retreated ten meters away.
"Do you know Kesel?" Professor Heslin was surprised. He didn't think that Abu would become friends with the rude upstart in front of him.
"Of course I do. I built Professor Cosell's laboratory. Oh - I have some business in southern Africa, doing some construction, trade, and human resources work." Christian is modest, considering the scale of Christian's business.
It's really not as simple as "some".
"The development of science and technology should follow objective laws and cannot be achieved overnight." Professor Heslin did not talk about business and was quite critical of Christian's words just now.
"This is true, but we do not require bombers to make no noise at all during flight, nor do we require bombers to fly as fast as fighter jets. It is just a simple modification, and we do not start research from the most basic level. This
Is it difficult?" Christian has his own logic, and the economic development of southern Africa cannot be measured by common sense.
In fact, civil aviation is not Zenith Star technology. In another time and space, in 1919, the world's first air route was opened between Paris and London.
With the aviation 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.
"Sorry, I don't know much about this field -" Professor Heslin is not the kind of talker who talks casually in unfamiliar fields. Professor Heslin has always been cautious about fields he doesn't understand. It is common knowledge to make random comments, and it is easy to do so.
Being slapped in the face.
"How is Cosell's health lately?" Professor Heslin seemed to care about Cosell inadvertently.
"I'm not sure about this. I haven't been back to Nyasaland for a long time, and I don't know what Nyasaland is like now. You may not believe it. Every time I return to Nyasaland, I
It feels like I have gone to a strange area. Nyasaland is really changing with each passing day. The Rhodes Tower built by Mr. Rhodes last year was still the tallest in southern Africa. This year, it did not even enter the top three. However, Rhodes Tower
Mr. Heslin is planning to build a new Rhodes Building in Los Angeles, and it must be compared with the headquarters of Rand Bank." Christian inadvertently changed the subject, thinking of the business scope introduced by Christian just now, Professor Heslin could understand Christian
Why so happy.
Needless to say, the business of building a new building will most likely be undertaken by Christian's construction company, otherwise Christian would not be so happy.
"How tall is the Rhodes Building?" Professor Heslin was easily taken away by Christian. Skyscrapers represent the height of a country's economic development and are a concrete manifestation of national strength.
"The previous one was 260 meters, but the planned one is 310 meters, making it the tallest building in the world." Christian is proud, and this is also the pride of all southern Africans.
I don’t know since when building skyscrapers has become a special hobby of big companies in southern Africa. The headquarters of Nyasaland Agricultural Company in Port Edward is 245 meters high, and the Rand Bank headquarters in Los Angeles is 230 meters high.
The headquarters building of Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company in Ziwei City is 220 meters high, and the headquarters building of Fawalt Steel Company in Pretoria is 215 meters high.
This does not include the headquarters of Nyasaland Military Industrial Group, the headquarters of Nyasaland Aviation Group, which are under construction, and the headquarters of Adan Corporation in Port Elizabeth.
"Building a skyscraper must also be done step by step, from 260 meters to 310 meters, haha——" Professor Heslin does not believe that this leap can be achieved. You must know that when the height reaches a certain level, the difficulty will increase exponentially with every additional meter.
"Do you want us to make a bet?" Christian was confident. Leapfrog development was unlikely in Europe, but in southern Africa——
It's just commonplace, okay?
ps: How about we also make a bet on how many times I can update 12,000 words a day——
