Chapter 567 Electrician Technical School
Mbeya City.
A brand new building was completed in the city. The three-story red brick building is not inferior to the city hall. It looks very grand. Many people came to watch the ceremony today, including the central government Representatives from the Ministry of Industry and many important figures from the Mbeya Municipal Government came to the scene.
Amidst firecrackers and thunderous applause, the completion ceremony was completed perfectly. Only then did the number 100 people on site stopped and began to take today's guests around.
The leader was Karls, the designer of this building. He led everyone to introduce his proud work with great interest: "The whole building has more than a hundred rooms, including more than 80 classrooms. Can accommodate thousands of students studying at one time”
As he spoke, he came to the wall of a classroom and knocked a few times: "The bricks and stones we use are all high-grade red bricks fired from the first brick kiln factory in Mbeya City. The whole building looks from the outside. The main color is maroon. If you stand at the front door of the school in the morning, you can see the spectacular sight of the sun rising from the red building. It is very pleasing to the eye. This is an ingenious design after personal measurement and extensive calculations. "< br>
"Mbeya City is near the equator. Have you heard of the equator?" Looking at the blank faces of everyone, Kars found himself asking a lonely question, secretly cursing his lack of knowledge, and then continued. : "Ignore the equator for now, let me put it simply."
"In those countries in Europe, North America, and the Far East, they are on the back of the earth, and the sun shines from the south to the north. You should It’s all very clear, so the area where these areas are located is called the Northern Hemisphere.”
“Mr. Karls, you mean that we originally lived in the north of the earth, right?”
"Yes, that's the truth. Let me demonstrate it to you. Now let's assume that the fist of my left hand is a globe and my right hand is the sun. Now I square them together. Where do you think the sun's rays will shine on the globe? Which is where on my left hand? ”
"That must be the center point of your left hand."
If Ernst had heard this answer, he would have been very satisfied. This answer, meaningless in the eyes of later generations, reflected a rather large society. question.
It may sound ridiculous to say it, but ordinary people in East Africa can distinguish between left and right. Don’t underestimate this problem. Even in the 21st century, some people are making fun of the left and right issue.
Ernst has personal experience with these. For example, when he was in college, during military training, there would be one or two fools who made jokes because they couldn't react.
Left and right is a conceptual issue. In an agricultural society, few people will consider this issue, because there is a high probability that it will not be used. As for the direction, adding Sifang can solve all problems.
This can be seen in the rural areas of the Far East. Take the matter of farming as an example. The Far Eastern imperial governments of all dynasties have encouraged people to teach farming and mulberry farming. Persuading people to teach farming and mulberry farming is a big concept. To put it bluntly, it means teaching people to farm.
Take Ernst, a college student, for example. If you ask him to farm, he really doesn’t know how to farm. Although he was also born in a rural area, he has been going to school and has not received the inheritance of the family system.
When Ernst engaged in farming in East Africa, he relied heavily on professional agricultural talents and supplemented it with some knowledge from later generations. That was all.
Back to the topic of distinguishing left and right, this is just a simple logical problem. As long as you are willing, it is easy to learn. It is not a big deal. After all, there are only two options for left and right, either left or right.
East Africans are sensitive to left and right. This is due to the East African nationals’ military education over the years. This has greatly popularized the discipline and military-related knowledge of East African citizens.
Karls nodded and said: "That's right. Look, the light from the sun shines directly at the center point. The sunlight on the upper and lower sides naturally shines obliquely on the northern and southern hemispheres. This is why most houses in the northern hemisphere face north and south. This is a question of lighting. If you think about it, if the sun shines directly on the center point of my left hand, then draw a circle around this center point, which is the equator. The sunlight near the equator is directly shining down.
So, as long as the houses in the equatorial region have roofs, it is difficult to get light. Of course, this has advantages and disadvantages. Lighting is a disadvantage, but the temperature in the equatorial region is high, so dark places are also cooler.
So I also considered this issue when building the main building of the Electrical Technical School. I improved the internal materials of the teaching building and chose bright materials to make the entire classroom very transparent.
In addition, the windows and doors were enlarged. Hollow designs are often used to allow more light to easily shine in, and at the same time, it is easier to ventilate. ”
Karls talked eloquently, and although most of his audience did not know what Karls was talking about, they felt great satisfaction in their hearts.
This is also the case. Karls’ words sounded unclear to everyone. They were direct shots, equator, and hollowing out technology. No one understood it. They just felt Karls’s belly. There is ink in it.
Then Carls gave everyone a detailed introduction to the entire school, including the main building, dormitories, laboratories, playgrounds, etc.
Although everyone’s cultural level is not high, their basic aesthetics still exist. They are quite satisfied with the construction of Mbeya Electrical Technical School. After all, the campus is so beautiful and comfortable, so studying here must be It’s a kind of enjoyment, and it’s really good to go to school.
After the designer Karls introduced the campus situation, people from the Ministry of Industry also began to discuss the significance of the Mbeya Electrical Technical School with the leadership of Mbeya City.
"Mayor Enle, I have told you in advance that countries generally attach great importance to projects that can be placed in Mbeya City. This time the central government has placed this electrician technical school in Mbeya City, you must pay attention to it. The electric power industry is the emerging industry that the country attaches most importance to. These teachers are professionals transferred from the Hechingen Electric Power Company in Europe. They are in short supply even in Europe. You must also pay special attention to them and treat them as treasures. If an accident occurs and the higher-ups investigate, it will be a disgrace to the country’s cultivation.”
“Don’t worry, Director Hearn, we know how strongly the country supports the power industry. Since it is an industry that the royal family personally cares about, Nambia City is also very welcoming and attaches great importance to them. We will definitely give these talents from Europe the highest level of courtesy.”
“Of course the most. Fortunately, the current mission of the Electrical Technical School is to train qualified electrician talents for East Africa to maintain and develop the electric power industry in East Africa. Your Mbeya City is the vanguard of East African industry and cannot be left behind in this regard."
"Director Hearn, don't worry, we absolutely fully support the central government's resolution in the emerging field of electric power. Last year we expanded the copper smelting plant and cable factory. , relying on the inland copper and rubber resources, as well as our city’s own coal and iron resources, to make bets on the new track of the electric power industry.”
“Well, this is why the central government placed the electrical technical school in Mu. The important reason for Beya City is that Mbeya City has advantages in being closer to key resource producing areas than coastal cities such as Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, and it can radiate in both directions
And I would like to mention that you should not underestimate the importance of this industry to your city. Your city is now the most important heavy industry base in East Africa, but the future is hard to say. After all, when talking about resource advantages, Matabele Province (Zimbabwe) is comparable. You are stronger, and our industry has discovered in many areas of Matabele Province that there are richer resources such as coal mines and iron ores than you. "
"Thank you, Director Hearn, for the heads up. ”
East Africa’s future heavy industry policy will definitely give priority to Matabele Province. This is for sure. The current industry mainly relies on the origin of raw materials, and factories are built wherever the mines are.
