Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

When returning to the farm, Robert Goddard took the Lord Marcellus car.

Although the U.S. economy surpassed that of Britain decades ago, British products are still widely sought after in the United States. Lord cars have now become the exclusive vehicles of the British royal family. Every wealthy American is proud to own a Lord car.

Especially the kind of custom-made cars with inlaid badges, like the car Marcellus was riding in. The logo of Nyasaland Bank was inlaid on the body, shining brightly in the sun.

Sitting on the large leather sofa of the Lord's car, Robert Goddard and George were quite cramped. Unlike the back seats of ordinary cars, the rear half of the Lord's car, which is more than six meters long, has two sofas placed opposite each other.

After raising the partition between the front row and the front row, the back row becomes an enclosed space.

There was also a car refrigerator in the carriage. Marcellus took out a bottle of ice-cold wine and poured it for Robert Goddard and George respectively. In the crystal clear crystal cup, the golden wine liquid did not sway much, showing that

The good performance of Lord's car, although Marcellus was smoking a cigar, Robert Goddard and George did not feel how choked, it should be that an independent ventilation system was installed.

"Our rocket research has entered a critical stage. As long as there are enough funds, I can send the rocket to the sky within a year. In fact, if there are enough funds, we can build more advanced rockets. I already have many rockets."

With less ideas, we can use technical methods to control the rocket, use gas to control the flight direction of the rocket, and use gyroscopes to control the flight attitude of the rocket. We can also make bigger rockets and add more fuel. Maybe one day, we will really

Can land on the moon." Robert Goddard revealed more technical details, but due to cost, these technologies are still in the imagination stage.

“It’s a very good idea. If what you say can be realized, then this is indeed a very valuable research.” Marcellus nodded frequently, but did not make any commitment yet.

"Yes, these technologies have not yet been realized. My research team only has five people including me. Now we have spent all the funds. If we can't get investment anymore, I will have to sell my farm." Robert

·Goddard did not hide the current predicament, which is also known to everyone. I don’t know how many people are waiting to see Robert Goddard’s joke.

"But we will not be discouraged, let alone shrink. Regardless of whether anyone is willing to invest, we will continue the experiment." Robert Goddard soon became full of hope. This may seem contradictory, but it is the case for all successful people.

The common trait is perseverance.

 The Lord's car sped along and soon arrived at Robert Goddard's farm.

It’s no wonder that Robert Goddard felt uneasy, but the environment on the farm was not very good. The few houses were obviously dilapidated, and there was not even a decent road. The rocket that Robert Goddard placed great hopes on

It was in a warehouse full of rotten smell. When Marcellus walked into the warehouse, he subconsciously took out a handkerchief and covered his nose, which made Robert Goddard even more embarrassed.

However, the warehouse is still very clean. There are several tables placed against the wall. The tables are filled with tools and books. It seems that Robert Goddard and his team work here.

There is a huge workbench on the wall on the other side, and some tools and materials are placed on the shelves next to it. The rocket is in the center of the warehouse, about three meters high, pitifully thin, and probably weighs only a few kilograms.

"This is our rocket. Although it is only 3.4 meters high and less than five kilograms, it will lead us humans into a new era." Robert Goddard looked at the rocket with enthusiasm, and his team members were

Robert Goddard lined up behind him, looking at Marcellus expectantly.

 At the door of the house further away, Daisy was looking nervously towards the warehouse. She was worrying about lunch at noon and wondered if Marcellus would stay at the farm to eat.

If Marcellus wanted to stay at the farm for a meal, Daisy didn't even know what food to prepare. Judging from Marcellus's appearance, ordinary food would probably be inedible.

 But the farm cannot provide expensive food. All Robert Goddard's money has been spent on rocket research. Daisy and the children have not bought new clothes for a long time.

"It's unbelievable that you are conducting rocket research in such an environment." Marcellus first lamented the difficulties of Robert Goddard's team, and then turned to the media's reporting on Robert Goddard.

: "I have seen some media reports on you. To be honest, they are not very friendly. At least they are not the proper attitude towards a respected scientist."

Marcellus’ few words immediately made Robert Goddard’s eyes red.

 Researching rockets in the warehouse!

This period was really difficult for Robert Goddard and his team.

The United States today is not the beautiful beacon that everyone longs for. Not all efforts can get the rewards they deserve. Even great gods like Nikola Tesla have to face the crazy suppression of vested interests.

Needless to say, unknown little people like Robert Goddard.

 Robert Goddard's success occurred after the rocket successfully took off.

Robert Goddard is now a laughing stock and an ideologue in the media, a researcher who does not do his job properly, and a liar who defrauds investors of their investments.

"Robert, I can invest in your research, but I want to see obvious results. I suggest that you and your team go to southern Africa, where there are better conditions and a better environment. Our Nyasaland Bank

We have a cooperative relationship with the University of Nyasaland. Your research institute can be listed at the University of Nyasaland. Don’t worry, it’s just in name. The University of Nyasaland will not interfere with your research." Marcellus proposed the conditions.

To the surprise of Robert Goddard, he had never thought of going to southern Africa.

"If you and your team members agree, Nyasaland Bank can invest half a million dollars in your team. Don't be surprised. Fifty thousand dollars is enough for anything. You can't even buy the Lord car at the door. It's because

Under such difficult conditions, you and your team can still achieve such results, so I am willing to invest in your team." Marcellus is domineering, and Robert Goddard is used to living in poverty.

, I didn’t know how arrogant the scientists in southern Africa are.

In southern Africa, millions of rands of funding are invested every year in any scientific research that can be put on the table, and the results are of course very good.

In recent years, Southern African products have been rampant in Europe and the United States, and the added value of technology cannot be ignored. Not to mention high-end aircraft and automobiles, even the most common daily necessities, Southern African products are quietly occupying the European and American markets, from high-end crystal ceramics to

, to mid- to low-end stainless steel plastics, more and more southern African products have entered civilian households and penetrated into every corner of life.

The sales of southern African goods in the American market are also very good. Even several of the largest department store chains are southern African companies. In any American town, Cape Department Store and Matilda Supermarket can be found everywhere, and Itno is in the large supermarkets.

Conquering the city and becoming a well-known luxury brand.

All of this is inseparable from Southern Africa's continued large-scale investment in scientific research. Nyasaland Corporation and Rand Bank invest billions of rands in scientific research every year for scientific research projects in Southern Africa. Nigeria

It was against this background that Asaland Bank was established. The reconstruction of Wardenclyffe Tower is just one of hundreds of investment projects of Asaland Bank. One more Robert Goddard rocket project is actually not many.

"Thank you Mr. Marcellus, thank you for your trust, but I'm going to discuss it with my team members, you know, the United States and southern Africa are thousands of miles apart, and this is a difficult decision for all of us.

"Robert Goddard is indeed very difficult. Although Marcellus did not say it clearly, it is obvious that if Robert Goddard does not agree to go to southern Africa, then Marcellus will not be against Robert Goddard's team.

Make investments.

Marcellus did not stay at the farm for dinner at noon. Daisy tried her best to prepare a sumptuous table of delicacies for Marcellus, including chickens, fish, and a tender and plump pheasant. Unfortunately, Robert Goddard did not eat.

He was not fond of delicious food but had no taste for it. He was deeply entangled in whether he should go to southern Africa or not.

"Teacher, no matter where you go, I will follow you. Going to Southern Africa is actually not bad. I have several classmates in Southern Africa, and they live very happily." George is inclined to accept Marcellus's conditions and go to the South.

Africa.

Traveling to southern Africa is not the end of the world, and the University of Nyasaland will not appropriate the scientific research results of Robert Goddard's team.

Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen. Just look at Nikola Tesla and you will know how dark the United States was in 1925.

 While Nikola Tesla was still alive, the U.S. High Court ruled that the invention of radio belonged to Italian Marconi.

After the death of Nikola Tesla, the U.S. High Court immediately canceled Marconi's patent results and recognized that Nikola Tesla invented radio.

Unfortunately, Nikola Tesla had passed away at this time. For more than 20 years before his death, he had been living in the basement of the New Yorker Hotel. Marconi, however, relied on his patented lucrative income to live in a big house and enjoy luxury.

life.

 This is America.
