The correct ratio of carbon black reinforced rubber should be two to one, that is, two parts rubber and one part carbon black, so that the wear resistance effect is the best.
Although Rock has experienced the era of knowledge explosion, he has never understood such partial knowledge, so Rock cannot give guidance in this regard, and everything must rely on the experiments of engineers.
Fortunately, Roque knew the value of knowledge, so regardless of spending money, Nyasaland's engineers still found the correct ratio. Under the current technological situation, Nyasaland's engineers have almost achieved the ultimate.
"We have conducted more than two hundred experiments and finally found the best ratio. Now we have applied for patents in many European countries and the United States. If other people want to produce wear-resistant tires, they must pay us accordingly.
The patent fee, our patent fee for each tire is 20 pounds, and we will further study and strive to be at the forefront of tire research." Rudolf Diesel is still very confident, during this period
The patent fee 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.
This is how the so-called technical barriers are formed. If you can't catch up with one step, you won't be able to catch up step by step. As long as Nyasaland has a patent on tires, there will be more and more patents in the future. Rock doesn't know about carbon black reinforced rubber.
Correct proportion, but Rock knows the difference between inner tubes and outer tires. Rock also knows radial tires and bias tires. Therefore, Nyasaland will be many years ahead of the world in tire research in the future.
This is the IQ tax. Rock alone cannot do this, but Rock now has a team, so Rock is not worried.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry, finalize the prototype of the truck first, and then talk about other things." Rock still has time to adjust slowly, Ford would not launch the Model T until 1908.
Before Ford launched the Model T, none of the car companies in the world could compete.
Ford's Model T also relied on its assembly line to dominate the world's automobile market.
Now Henry Ford has just signed the company's founding documents with 11 initial investors. This is Henry Ford's third attempt to create a car manufacturing business. This attempt will also end in failure. It is estimated that before 1908, Nigeria will
Saran's cars will fill the U.S. market, and then Henry Ford——
Haha.
"Why should we spend all our energy on trucks? In fact, we can now produce cars. I don't know what the progress is at Bobby's side. I want to go to Bobby's factory to have a look tomorrow." Rudolf
Diesel is still very idealistic, but he is doomed to be disappointed. Diesel engines may not be used in the car market for a long time.
The first company in the world to apply diesel engines to cars was Volkswagen. In 1976, Volkswagen used diesel engines for the first time in the Volkswagen Golf sedan.
Rock doesn't do wasted work. Before the technology of diesel engines is greatly improved, all attempts to apply diesel engines to cars are doomed to fail. That's why Rock handed over the car to Bobby Holt for research. The motorcycle engines and motorcycle engines of this era were
Car engines are actually similar, but Bobby Holt has an advantage.
"Yes, you can go to Bobby or visit Bobby's factory, but Rudolf, diesel engines will only be used in trucks, tractors, ships, and even future tanks for a long time.
For a long period of time, it is impossible for diesel engines to be used in cars." Rock said bluntly, of course Rudolf Diesel has confidence in diesel engines, but this confidence has no basis.
"What is a tank?" Rudolf Diesel finally asked this question.
"Tanks - you know the heavy armored cavalry, right? Tanks are the future heavy armored cavalry. They are driven by machines, equipped with thicker armor, and charge to the enemy's positions with more powerful firepower. It is not yet time to study tanks.
, 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." Rock certainly hopes that Rudolf Diesel will develop a tank now, but this is unrealistic.<
/p>
In mid-November, Rudolf Diesel returned to Nyasaland with full harvests and full of regrets.
The medical school located between Ziwei Town and Johannesburg was finally completed. Both Ad and Philip attended the opening ceremony of the medical school.
The medical school is divided into surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, field emergency department, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Abu is still very capable. Before the medical school was built, he completed the purification of Artemisia annua. Although Abu still cannot explain why Artemisia annua has special effects on malaria, the effect of Artemisia annua is much better than that of cinchona.
More than a thousand acres of Artemisia annua are now planted on Gram's farm. The pharmaceutical factory that was completed a month ago is conducting purification experiments on Artemisia annua. Once the experiment is successful, Artemisia annua will become the flagship product of the pharmaceutical factory, completely replacing cinchona.
Its role in the pharmaceutical system.
Yes, although cinchona has some shortcomings, cinchona is still a special medicine against malaria. The price of cinchona is now comparable to gold. The emergence of artemisia annua will completely sweep cinchona into history.
Therefore, in a pile of paper, in one or two years at most, Artemisia annua will take the place of Cinchona.
"So, this drug is very important?" Ade didn't know that the biological laboratory had already produced results.
"Very important, Your Majesty the Governor, you should know that the biggest obstacle to exploration and exploration is not the confrontation of the indigenous people or the dangerous terrain. Those invisible viruses are the biggest problem we encounter. The Transvaal is still normal now.
But in Nyasaland and Rhodesia, there are still many uninhabited areas waiting for us to develop, so Artemisia annua is very important. With Artemisia annua, our losses in colonial development will be reduced by 9%.
10." Rock listed the data casually. These data are actually not accurate, but who cares? Ade doesn't know much about Artemisia annua.
In fact, Southern Africa is better. In Central Africa or South America, the role of Artemisia annua is more important. These two places are tropical rainforest areas. Malaria is rampant and difficult to prevent. Explorers die of malaria every day. Artemisia annua is
The success of the research is a huge blessing to all explorers.
"Have you applied for a patent?" Ade is still concerned about the patent issue.
The profits of patents in this era are so huge that no one can turn a blind eye.
Compared with tires, drug patents are more practical and valuable. For tire patents, Nyasaland only charges 100% of the cost. For artemisia annua patents, Rock can directly charge 1,000%.
"We have applied. This is our first major invention. It certainly cannot be contributed to all mankind for free. We will continue to use the patent fees collected for the research of other drugs and develop as many specific drugs as possible." Luo Kecai.
He will not be satisfied. Drugs have been a hugely profitable industry until the 21st century. Rock 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. The beam above the archway is a complete log. In the 21st century, trees of this level have been basically mined out, but now there are all kinds of trees. So
You're welcome, Rock, and all standards are the highest.
When you walk into the gate, you will see a huge square. All the ground in the square has been hardened. Instead of asphalt, irregular stone slabs of large and small sizes are used. This is the way the Romans built roads.
When the Romans built roads, they usually put big stones at the bottom, then small stones, then a layer of small stones, and the road was made of stone slabs on top.
A road like this can be guaranteed to last for decades or even hundreds of years.
Thanks to Rock's high standards and strict requirements, the ground of the medical school is hardened, just like the Romans building roads.
When you walk into the square, you can see some students who have just entered medical school taking photos with their parents.
Thanks to Roque's attention, the photography industry in Johannesburg is now becoming more and more developed. In the past, photography was still done indoors, but now it can also be done outdoors if there is sufficient light.
"How many people are there in the medical school now?" Ade still attaches great importance to education.
"The medical school has just started enrolling students this year, and the total number of first-year students has exceeded 300. We have far underestimated the enthusiasm of Transvaal students for medical school. In fact, if we are willing, the current size of the medical school can exceed 1,000
People, but that’s meaningless. The energy of professors who are willing to teach students is limited. One person can only bring three or five students. No matter how many more, he can’t take care of both." Roque wants to ensure the teaching staff. There are indeed many faculty and staff in the medical school, but many people
I don’t have any coaching qualifications, so the data doesn’t look good.
"How many professors are there in the medical school now?" Ade was noncommittal. After all, talents are rare, and Ade did not dare to confirm with Roque.
"There are less than ten real professional doctors, and even fewer have professorships. Abu is the dean of the medical school, but he also has to take care of the biological laboratory, so many times, Abu will focus on one thing and not the other. The management of the medical school is
Executed by Professor Douglas." Rock finally found the opportunity to recommend Douglas to Ade. Since switching to administration, Douglas has been performing very well. This guy is an official fan, and now he wants to climb up.
"Ten people, that's really a bit less." Ade didn't know that the medical school was in such a dilemma.
"We have invited all the experts and professors we can possibly invite, but many people are still unwilling to come to Johannesburg." Roque regretted that Ade also helped, inviting those experts and professors in the name of the Transvaal government.
