Municipality of Mbeya.

A brand-new building was completed in the urban area, the three-story red brick building is not much inferior to the city government, it looks very atmospheric, and many people came to watch the ceremony today, including the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee and many big figures from the Mbeya city government came to the scene.

Amid firecrackers and thunderous applause, the completion ceremony was completed perfectly, and the 100 people on the scene stopped and began to visit here with today's guests.

Leading the way was Karls, the architect of the building, who led the crowd to introduce his work with great interest: "The whole building has more than 100 rooms, including more than 80 classrooms, which can accommodate thousands of students at a 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 by the No. 1 brick kiln factory in Mbeya City, and the whole building is mainly maroon red from the outside. ”

"The city of Mbeya is near the equator, have you heard of the equator?" Looking at the dazed crowd, Kars found himself asking a lonely question, and after secretly scolding in his heart for not knowing, he continued: "Ignore the equator for now, I'll just say it simply." ”

"In Europe, North America, and the Far East, they are on the far side of the earth, and the sunlight shines from the south to the north, and you should all know very well, so the area where these regions are located is called the Northern Hemisphere."

"Mr. Kars, you mean that we originally lived in the north of the earth, the part above the globe, right?"

"That's right, that's the truth, let me show you, the fist in my left hand is now assumed to be a globe, and my right hand is the sun, and I'm now squared together, where do you say the sunlight will shine on the globe, that is, where is my left hand?"

"That must be the center point of your left hand."

If Ernst had heard it, he would have been very satisfied, and this answer, which would have seemed meaningless to later generations, reflected a considerable social problem.

It may be ironic to say that ordinary people in East Africa can distinguish between left and right, and don't underestimate this issue, even in the 21st century, there are people who make jokes about left and right.

Ernst had personal experience, for example, when he was in college, there would be one or two fools who made jokes because they couldn't react.

Left and right is a conceptual problem, and few people in an agrarian society will consider this problem, because there is a high probability that it will not be used, and as for the direction, this, then in the addition of the Quartet can solve all problems.

This point can be reflected in the rural areas of the Far East, taking the matter of farming as an example, the governments of the Far Eastern Empire in successive dynasties have to advise farmers to teach mulberry, and persuading agriculture and mulberry is a big concept, and to put it bluntly, it is to teach people to farm.

Take Ernst, a college student, for example, if you ask him to farm, he really can't, although he is also from the countryside, but he has been going to school and has not been inherited by the family system.

Ernst was engaged in farming in East Africa, so he relied heavily on professional agricultural talents, supplemented by some knowledge of later generations, and that's it.

Coming back to the topic of distinguishing left and right, this is just a simple matter of logic, as long as you have the heart, 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 the left and right, and they have benefited from the national military education in East Africa for many years, which has made the discipline and military-related knowledge of East African citizens very popular.

Kars nodded and said: "That's right, you see that the light emitted by the sun hits the center point, and the sunlight on the upper and lower sides naturally shines obliquely on the north and south hemispheres, which is also the reason why most houses in the northern hemisphere sit north and face south, which is a problem of lighting."

You think, this sunlight is directly shining on the center point of my left hand, and drawing a circle around this central point is the equator, and the sunlight near the equator shines directly.

Therefore, the houses in the equatorial region, as long as they are roofed, are not easy to get light, of course, this also has advantages and disadvantages, lighting is a disadvantage, but the temperature in the equatorial region is high, so it is cool to have a shady place.

Therefore, when I built the main building of the Electrical Technical School, I also considered this problem, and improved the internal materials of the teaching building, and selected bright materials to make the whole classroom appear very transparent.

In addition, the windows are enlarged and the hollow design is used to allow more light to shine in, and it is also easier to ventilate. ”

Kars spoke eloquently, and although most of his audience did not know what Kars was talking about, he felt a great sense of satisfaction.

In fact, Kars's words only felt unclear to everyone, and they were direct shots, equators, and what kind of hollowing techniques and the like, everyone didn't understand, but they felt that Kars had ink in his stomach.

Kars then introduced the whole school in detail, including the main building, dormitories, laboratories, playground and so on.

Although the cultural level is not high, but the basic aesthetics still exist, and we are quite satisfied with the construction of the Electrician Technical School in Mbeya, after all, the campus construction is so beautiful and comfortable, so it must be a pleasure to study here, and it is good to go to school.

After Kars, the designer, introduced the situation of the campus, the people from the Ministry of Industry also began to discuss with the leadership of Mbeya the significance of this Mbeya Electrician-Technical School.

"Mayor Enle, I can tell you in advance, the project that can be placed in Mbeya City, the general state attaches great importance to it, this time the central government will put this electrical technical school in Mbeya City, you have to pay attention to it, the power industry is the country's most important emerging industry, these teachers are professionals transferred from the European Heixingen Power Company, even Europe is scarce, you should also pay special attention to them, treat them as treasures, if there is an accident, the above will be investigated, then it is sorry for the country's training."

"Rest assured, Director Hearn, we know how strongly the state supports the power industry, since it is an industry that the royal family personally cares about, the city of Nambeya is also very welcome and highly valued, and we will definitely give these talents from Europe the highest level of courtesy."

"That's naturally the best, the current task of the Electrician Technical School is to train qualified electricians for East Africa, which will be used to maintain and develop the power industry in East Africa, and your city of Mbeya is the vanguard of East African industry, and you can't pull it down in this regard."

"Director Hearn, you can rest assured, we absolutely fully support the central government's resolution in the emerging field of electric power, and we have already expanded the copper smelter and cable factory last year, relying on the inland copper and rubber resources, as well as our city's own coal and iron resources, to bet on the new track of the power industry."

"Well, this is also an important reason why the central government has placed the electrical technical school in the city of Mbeya, which has an advantage over the coastal cities of Dar es Salaam and Mombasa, which is a key resource source and can radiate in both directions.

And I mention, 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 not easy to say, after all, when it comes to resource advantages, Matabele province (Zimbabwe) is stronger than yours, and our industry has found that there are more coal and iron ore resources in many areas of Matabele province than yours. ”

"Thank you, Director Hern."

It is certain that the future heavy industry policy in East Africa will give priority to Matabele province, which is still largely based on the origin of raw materials, where the mines and factories are built.
