Same as assembly, Nyasaland's assembly is also qualitatively different from assembly in the general sense.
The prototype of this "monster" brought over by Rudolf Diesel was produced by the Chada Engine Company in Chicago, USA. It was replaced with a diesel engine produced by the Augsburg Machinery Factory in Germany, and added a diesel engine produced in Niassa.
Only then did the crawler tracks produced by Lan Lan become the "complete body" they are now.
Compared with the prototype produced by the Chada Engine Company in Chicago, the "Monster" is a completely new design and completely different from the prototype, so Rock has the confidence to say that Nyasaland can now "produce" tractors.
For Nyasaland, being able to produce its own tractors means a lot.
You must know that Nyasaland is now also a British colony, so Nyasaland is also a dumping ground for British products.
In order to protect its own industry, the British government will restrict the industrial development of Nyasaland so as to best protect the interests of the British Empire.
Strictly speaking, the British government even hopes that the colonies outside the homeland can only produce a single product, so that the British government can control the colonies more effectively, and its overseas colonies can more effectively unite around the British Empire.
Before the 19th century, the British government did this. After entering the 19th century, this method of maintaining the colonial system could no longer be maintained, and the British had to gradually loosen the bonds of the colonies.
Rock was born at a good time. After the Boer War, Britain had begun its strategic contraction, so Rock could show off his skills in Nyasaland. If it were 100 years ago, Rock wanted to start an industrial sector in Nyasaland.
None, not even if Rock is a noble.
In fact, even now, Rock still needs to develop industry selectively.
For example, the textile industry in the UK is already very mature, and it is almost impossible for Nyasaland or the Transvaal to develop and grow.
Before the Transvaal gained autonomy from the British government, the textile mills in Johannesburg could only stay at the initial processing stage of wool so that the products could be sold to Europe and become part of Europe's mature textile industry.
Nyasaland does not even have the opportunity to develop the textile industry, so Rock can only choose "tractors", an industry that is not even produced in the UK, or whose products are seriously defective in the UK. This is Nyasaland.
Opportunity.
At present, although the United States, Sweden, Germany, Hungary, the United Kingdom and other countries have begun to research tractors, in fact, because the tire problem cannot be solved, all tractors in the world are still in the laboratory and cannot be used in practical applications.
.
Originally, it was not until 1906 that the American Holt Tractor Manufacturing Company built the world's first crawler tractor, which was still powered by a gasoline engine.
The following year, mass production of the Holt tractor began, becoming the most successful tractor in the world.
Now, the crawler track has become the patent of Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and the Holt tractor is expected to become a Nyasaland tractor.
The Nyasaland Agricultural Company here is not the same thing as the Nyasaland Agricultural Development Company that signed a lease contract with Zhazha. They are two completely different companies.
Because of Rudolf Diesel, Nyasaland Agricultural Company already has all the patent licenses for diesel engines, which means that Nyasaland is now actually qualified to produce tractors.
Everything is ready and all we need is Dongfeng. As long as Roque buys the machinery from Europe, the Nyasaland tractor will be officially put into production.
"Locke, you are a monster. Sure enough, only 'monsters' can produce 'monsters.'" Xiaosi couldn't help but lamented after knowing the situation. Referring to the world's demand for labor, he knew that the market prospects of tractors were extremely huge.
On the blue sea, the ship Nyasaland has now set sail.
Now this ship is still a small ship, but in a few years, no one knows whether this small ship will become a giant ship.
It cannot be said that no one knows. Rock definitely knows. He can have a premonition now, but he cannot be sure.
"Come on, Cecil, I'm also trying to solve our manpower shortage problem. Don't worry, I'll cover the Rhodesian tractors from now on, and I'll give you the best discount price." Rock laughed, and his brother settled the score clearly.
No matter how good the relationship is, you still need to pay for things.
"Just wait, I won't let you be proud for too long." Xiao Si said fiercely. At this moment, Xiao Si finally realized what Rock meant when he said that he no longer seeks pleasure from ordinary people.
If you want to bully, you have to bully people who are similar in strength and status to you. Only in this way can you feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Rock was not in a hurry. In terms of industry, it was probably impossible for Rhodesia to catch up with Nyasaland.
You may not believe it. Even though Cecil Rhodes captured Rhodesia in 1895, Rhodesia's current industrial base is almost zero. Even the only railway in Rhodesia is in
It was only at Rock's insistence that Xiao Si started building it.
Nyasaland has only been in Rock's hands for more than a year. Under Rock's management, Nyasaland now has copper mines, smelters, shipyards, and now it can only produce Henry.
An arsenal for Martini rifles, and soon a tractor factory, and even the motorcycles that Bobby Holt is researching, Rock can set up a factory in Nyasaland at any time.
Any of these options, under the leadership of Roque, is likely to develop into a giant. Rhodesia wants to catch up with Nyasaland, unless Stoudemire is also a time traveler.
Even if Stoudemire is a time traveler, it will be difficult for Rhodesia to catch up with Nyasaland. In the industry, every step is slow and every step is slow. The first-mover advantage is still very obvious.
For example, crawler tracks may not be eye-catching, but Nyasaland Agricultural Company owns all the patents for the crawler tracks. As long as Nyasaland Agricultural Company does not authorize them, all countries in the world will have to hold their noses and buy Nyasaland.
Produced tractors.
Don't even say you don't want to buy it. Infringement is a very dangerous thing, because there are cross-patents between various countries. Once infringed, it will cause a serious chain reaction. The final result is that all countries in the world will suffer serious losses.
During World War I, British factories produced patented products of the German Krupp Company and had to pay patent fees to the German Krupp Company. Although the war was over by the time the patent fees were paid, there was still a question of whether to pay or not to pay.
They are two completely different concepts.
Therefore, the first-mover advantage in industry is so great that unless a country voluntarily gives up the patent rights of all its companies, it cannot break this rule.
After the demonstration, Rudolf Diesel took the "Monster" back to Nyasaland. While further improving the "Monster", Rock also began to prepare a tractor factory.
Rudolf Diesel's next task is important. Roque's request to Rudolf Diesel is to further improve the diesel engine. Power must be the top priority. Size, noise, and vibration cannot be ignored. In fact, the noise and vibration of the diesel engine
It is not impossible to solve it. After the mid-20th century, many cars also used diesel engines that applied new technologies. At this time, the performance of diesel engines was as good as gasoline engines.
Today's diesel engines and gasoline engines are certainly incomparable. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the "monster" is already perfect, but in Rock's view, the "monster" still has a lot of room for improvement, so the road to scientific research is endless.
, in Nyasaland, don’t expect to be honored just by relying on an invention patent, the only way is to keep making further progress.
Setting up a tractor factory is both difficult and easy.
Rock chose the more difficult one. If it were someone else, they would probably only produce the crawler tracks in Nyasaland, then buy an engine from one place and a chassis from another, and make the tractor as simple as possible.
Rock's requirements are high. Since tractors are blue ocean, Rock must be completely self-produced. From the engine to the driver's seat cushion, Rock must be produced in Nyasaland. Only in this way can the interests of Nyasaland be guaranteed.
, will not be controlled by others in the future production process.
It sounds like it would be troublesome to produce 100% of the parts in-house, but in fact it is not that difficult. The industrial level during this period was still very low. There was no such thing as 3C, UL, and ISO. Bobby Holt studied motorcycles.
It can be produced in a small workshop with simple tools, so it is not difficult to produce 100% of the parts in-house.
At this time, the benefits of embracing the British Empire are reflected. Although the British government is probably unwilling to see Nyasaland develop industry, British companies do not care whether the government is willing or not. As long as there is money, British companies are willing to make money.
If you don't make money, there are people who are willing to make it. Under the banner of free trade, as long as Roque can afford it, there is no problem in replicating Buckingham Palace in Nyasaland.
Therefore, there will be no obstacles to Rock's desire to buy machines. The German Augsburg Machinery Manufacturing Factory, which also has a diesel engine patent license, is even willing to provide Nyasaland with a complete diesel engine production line.
However, what the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany did not expect was that Rudolf Diesel still looked down on the engine production line of the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany. Rock decided to produce tractors in Nyasaland. Rudolf
Diesel immediately expressed that it could design a new production line for Rock.
Rudolf Diesel is the inventor of the diesel engine, and the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany is just Rudolf Diesel's partner. Of course, Rock trusts Rudolf Diesel more, so Rock's work in Germany
The headhunting company rejected the production line provided by the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany. It just hired a few engineers from the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany and some skilled workers, and then ended the relationship with the Augsburg Machine Manufacturing Factory in Germany.
factory contact.
Compared with machines, people are more important.
