After arriving in southern Africa, Robert Goddard finally had a decent laboratory. The laboratory is located in a three-story villa on the shore of Xuanji Lake. It has beautiful scenery, elegant environment, convenient transportation, and more staff.

More than sixty people, in addition to Robert Goddard's students, included support and security personnel provided by the Southern African military.

From this point, we can see the importance the military attaches to Robert Goddard. The security personnel of the team are from the Department of Defense Secret Service. The security level is similar to that of Rock's Palace of Justice. A laboratory of this level is in Nyasaland.

There are 6 more at the university and 17 in the city of Milna.

Every morning, the driver would first take a few children to school, and then take Robert Goddard to the laboratory.

The school the children attend is the High School Affiliated to the University of Nyasaland. This middle school has a middle school and a primary school. Seventy percent of the graduates will choose the University of Nyasaland to continue their studies. Pay attention to choosing and not taking the blame.

, those graduates who do not choose Nyasaland University do not mean that they cannot pass the exam, but that they do not have this ambition.

Although the University of Nyasaland is good and ranks among the world's most famous universities, not everyone wants to get into it. Those who like medicine will choose the Johannesburg Medical College, and those who like the military will choose the Nyasaland Army College or the Naval Academy.

The Air Force Academy has relatively high requirements. In addition to excellent grades, it also requires excellent physical fitness. I don’t know how many students are rejected by the physical examination every year.

Robert Goddard is very satisfied with the arrangement of Nyasaland University. Compared with the difficult life in the United States, Robert Goddard feels like he is dreaming every day. Only by giving the best results can he be worthy of the students in southern Africa.

Courtesy.

"The launch site has been prepared, the weather is clear, the rocket is in good condition, and it can be tested at any time -" Robert Goddard's deputy is still David Foster, and David's family is rushing to Niassa

On the way to Lan.

Like Robert Goddard, everything in Nyasaland was like a dream to David Foster. After learning about the strength of Nyasaland University High School, David didn’t dwell too much on it.

I sent a telegram to my family, hoping that they could also come to Nyasaland for a family reunion.

 Family reunion is secondary, bringing a better life to the family and allowing the children to enjoy better education is what David values ​​more.

Nyasaland University also provides David with good treatment, with a salary of 1,500 rand per year. In the United States, only top professors can enjoy this treatment. David has been living in the laboratory during this period. For this experiment, he is better than Robert

·Goddard takes it more seriously.

 With such good conditions, Robert Goddard's ambitions also expanded.

Looking back at the previous rockets, Robert Goddard had more inspiration and almost completely redesigned the rockets.

 Compared with the previous rocket which was 3.4 meters high and weighed only 5 kilograms, Robert Goddard's newly designed rocket is 12.7 meters high and weighs 35 kilograms.

Limited to time constraints, Robert Goddard did not apply more technologies to the rocket. There is no need now. This is just the first test. There will be plenty of time to gradually improve it in the future.

"The Governor-General and the Prime Minister are on their way. We have to wait until they arrive before we start. Now let us check again to make sure no accidents happen." Robert Goddard was cautious, and success or failure depended on this one move.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it right now—” David Foster also knew that this experiment was related to the future of the entire team.

 In the office on the second floor of the villa, more than thirty team members are doing calculations carefully, including George and three other students who followed Robert Goddard to Nyasaland.

As Robert Goddard's best student, George was the third person in charge of the entire team and had a separate office. However, this did not make George happy for long. The new members who joined the team brought George

The pressure is really too much.

The University of Nyasaland attaches great importance to Robert Goddard's research and provided a collection of data on thousands of people for Robert Goddard to choose from.

Robert Goddard finally selected 35 of them, some of whom were outstanding designers and had already obtained patents in mechanical design before graduating.

 Some people are real geniuses. They can calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 10,000 without the need for a computer. They can get the result just by looking at it.

 Some people have a similar ability to remember past mistakes, and are very familiar with relevant materials in the Nyasaland University Library, which can be called a "human library".

The joining of such a group of people indeed put great pressure on George and the others. Only when they came to Nyasaland did they know what kind of talents deserved to be called "geniuses". And what made George and the others despair was that the students from Nyasaland University

There are just too many geniuses.

"George, we have completed four calculations and everything is normal." The person who came to find George was Goofy, nicknamed the "Human Library".

 Gao Fei obtained a doctorate from the University of Nyasaland and later stayed at the school to teach. He is considered the most promising person to become a "professor" within ten years.

Although Nyasaland University does not have only one professor per department like Germany, it is not easy to obtain the honor of professor. Robert Goddard is the only professor in Robert Goddard’s team.

This was an unusual award given to Robert Goddard by the University of Nyasaland, considering that rocketry was a completely new field.

 Otherwise, people like Robert Goddard who have not made any achievements are also not qualified to receive the title of professor.

"Great, Gao, come over and take a break. Let's talk. How much do you know about aerodynamics?" George was very modest. Most of his status in the team was due to his joining the team earlier, and he was purely engaged in rocket research.

In this regard, George is not as good as Gao Fei who has just joined the team for more than two months, which is really powerless.

"I don't know much about aerodynamics. We have a special laboratory in this area. You can ask Nyasaland Aviation and Nyasaland Power for help, or you can wait until the Lord comes over tomorrow and ask the Lord for advice. You must not

"You know, Your Majesty is the expert in aerodynamics -" Gao Fei is more modest. His professional field of research is liquid fuel. Because his research results are helpful for the power of liquid rockets, he was transferred to the team by Robert Goddard.

 This is the benefit of abundant resources. This condition was not available in the United States. Robert Goddard could only use ordinary gasoline as liquid engine power. The key was still lack of money.

Now money is not an issue, and resources are not an issue. After learning about the performance of the rocket, Gao Fei suggested that Robert Goddard use liquid oxygen and alcohol as rocket power, and proposed an optimization plan for the rocket's combustion chamber, which gave Robert Goddard

More inspiration from Goddard.

 “Are you talking about the Marquis of Nyasaland?” George really didn’t understand Roque.

"Yes, it's your Lord. It was your Lord who first proposed aerodynamics and optimized the appearance of the aircraft 20 years ago, which led to the later 'Strong Wind' and the current Gale." Gao Fei is known as "Humanoid"

Library", I know a lot about these anecdotes.

This is also true. Although Rock doesn’t know much about airplanes, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running, so he knows what the airplanes of the future will look like.

When southern Africa first started researching aircraft, the appearance of the aircraft was still in a relatively primitive state. The pilot's cockpit was directly exposed to the air. There was a lot of room for improvement. Rock only put forward some suggestions and it became

The founder of "aerodynamics" in southern Africa.

 Look, getting honor is sometimes that simple.

 At present, the fighter jets sold to foreign countries in Southern Africa are still "Strong Winds", but the fighter jets used by Southern Africa themselves are already "Hast Winds".

Strictly speaking, the "Hast Wind" is still an improved model of the "Strong Wind", but after the application of more powerful engines, the performance of the fighter has been qualitatively improved, so it was simply named a new name to distinguish it.

 According to this trend, there may be “squally winds”, “storms”, and even “hurricanes” in the future.

"How is it possible? Isn't he the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force?" George looked shocked. The Americans knew about Roark. Apart from the Marquis of Nyasaland, he was probably the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force.

 George didn’t even know about Rock’s relationship with Nyasaland Bank.

“You are right, but it is not comprehensive enough. The Lord is first and foremost the lord of Nyasaland——” Gao Fei smiled, feeling extremely proud in his heart.

"Damn feudal remnants——" George was inexplicably depressed. He was defeated in his professional field. This feeling is really bad.

 Luckily, Rock will never join Robert Goddard's team, which is good news for George.

"George, never show any disrespect to the Lord in a Nyasaland. This is also disrespectful to all Nyasalans." Gao Fei immediately became serious and complained in front of the Nyasalans.

Rock, if it had been someone else, he might have been slapped hard.

 About 15 years ago, Gao Fei, who was only six years old, was brought to southern Africa by the Nyasaland Immigration Bureau.

Without the help of the Nyasaland Immigration Bureau, Gao Fei might have died in a remote wilderness long ago. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Roque is Gao Fei's reborn parent, so Gao Fei

Fei will not allow anyone to slander Roark.

 Even if it is a joking slander, it will not do.

 “I’m sorry, very sorry——” George reacted quickly and apologized immediately.

Gao Fei's expression finally softened a bit, but his smile was already very forced.

"I have a question. Southern Africa is a democratic country like the United States. Why are there still lords in your country? Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious -" George was still trying to die.

Know that curiosity killed the cat.

  ps: A new month has begun. I wish my brothers good fortune and good luck in the Year of the Ox——
