Great time travel

Chapter 74. Forging the remains of the "Ausong Empire"
The coast of southwestern Australia, along the Swan River, the city of Perth in the modern world
Of course, in the spring and summer of 1632, it was just a wild green field surrounded by desert and sea.Groups of kangaroos roam the vast grasslands and sparse forests, and there are black swans, which are unique in the world, playing and swimming on the river here.

——After a long wait, Doraemon finally successfully entered the topographic and geographical data of the seventeenth century for the latest batch of [random doors], which had been cramped on Hainan Island before. At this point, everyone finally has the ability to move freely around the world.

Then, the first destination of their travel using [Random Door] is the wild and undeveloped continent of Australia.

In fact, the [-]-ton modern all-metal sailing ship "COSCO Star", which traveled through time and space, first landed with hundreds of people not in Perth, but in Darwin Port thousands of miles to the north.Now the only decent civilization stronghold in the entire Australian continent - the landing camp established by the future traversers is naturally located there. At first glance, it seems that it can directly inherit the legacy of the traversers, and the capital of the Huameng should be located here.

But the problem is that although Darwin Harbor is a rich fishing resort in the 21st century, famous for its clear waters and colorful tropical fish, it is really not a livable place-first of all, this place is surrounded by deserts , fresh water resources are not abundant enough to meet the daily needs of a big city.Secondly, the geographical position of Darwin Port is too north, close to the equator, and belongs to the tropical climate. Not only is it extremely hot, but also the humidity in the rainy season often exceeds 70%, which is very uncomfortable.In addition, several large areas of flat land that are suitable for urban areas are too low-lying, and there are large areas of tidal flats along the coast, making drainage very difficult. If there is heavy rain and high tide at the same time, it is very prone to waterlogging, and it will become a "Water City Venice" from time to time.

In addition, the city is often hit by tropical storms, thunderstorms and tornadoes, such as the 1974 tornado that almost destroyed the entire city.So even in the 21st century, the total population of Darwin Port is only 10 people.

Perth, which is also located in Western Australia, is somewhat similar to the environment of Darwin Port. It is also a seaside oasis surrounded by deserts and oceans. However, the green area around Perth Port is much larger than Darwin Port. There is arable land and The pastures were also much larger, enough to feed a larger population.As far as fresh water resources are concerned, the gurgling Swan River not only brings a beautiful scenery to Perth Port, but also provides abundant domestic water and agricultural irrigation water for Perth residents, while the coastal hills and mountains in the upper reaches of the Swan River All kinds of towering ancient trees all over the place provide urban residents with sufficient timber resources, so the development potential of Perth is much stronger than that of Darwin Port.

In terms of climate and environment, Perth, which is relatively southerly and has a higher latitude, already belongs to the Mediterranean climate, similar to Italy and Greece.Although this climate may not be suitable for farming, it is full of flowers, sunshine and sandy beaches, and it is definitely suitable for human habitation. Although summer is hot and dry, it is better than being hot and humid.And the reason for the hot summer is caused by the heat wave blown by the eastern desert wind, usually within a few hours of the heat, there will be a cool sea breeze blowing from the southwest, because the hot wind blows when the sun is not too strong in the morning, and the sun shines in the afternoon. When it is fierce, cool wind blows, so the heat will not go anywhere.In winter, the climate is mild and rainy, and the average temperature is above [-] degrees Celsius.

So in the modern world, Perth is a very famous tourist destination. It ranks among the top cities in the world's best living cities every year, with a total population of 160 million...Of course, compared with places like Sydney and Melbourne in eastern Australia However, Perth's natural environment is still much worse - the former is the essence of Australia's later generations, gathering most of the country's arable land, pastures, industries and population, which is equivalent to the hinterland of the Central Plains of China.Perth is just a larger oasis surrounded by desert.

However, at the plenary meeting, after confirming the establishment of the headquarters in Australia, the representatives attending the meeting had a heated quarrel, and finally delineated the relatively isolated place of Perth—"...we are choosing the headquarters of the Huameng. , a place similar to the headquarters of the European Union and the headquarters of the United Nations agencies, rather than swallowing the entire Australian Republic in one go. So as long as there is a territory of a municipality, it is enough, and the environment of Perth is just right-it is an excellent seaport, It can communicate with the whole world by sea, and the natural resources are enough to supply a city with a population of one million. Although it is on the same continent as Australia, it is separated from the essence of Australia by the vast desert, which can avoid conflicts of interest in the future to a considerable extent... "

In short, according to the predetermined plan, with the assistance of the central government of the modern time and space in the 21st century, the Chinese League will establish an alliance capital named "China City" in Perth in this time and space, drawn from the territory of the Republic of Australia, as an independent self-governing city-state.As for the Republic of Australia, one of the five founding countries of the Chinese League...Unfortunately, because the capital of the Alliance has absorbed the only manpower in Australia, it is expected that this Republic will only exist on paper for quite a while. On the surface, there is nothing but a large undeveloped wilderness...

However, even Perth at this time, or the "China City" in this time and space, is still barren now, without any trace of civilization.

Because, before the Chinatown in Perth broke ground, the traversers of this world had to carry out another "cultural project" on the Australian mainland-that is, to forge their origin in this world and concoct a "lost city". The capital of the Song Empire in Australia": Song City!

To put it simply, before a city that can really live in people has time to build, first find a piece of desert to build a fake city that can't live in people...

In the northwest of Australia, more than 50 kilometers southwest of Darwin Port, there is a hot and dry desolate desert
Although it is not far from the ocean, the air here is so dry that there is hardly a trace of moisture.

Under the exposure of the crimson sun, the wind of the desert is like the heat of a stove, which can't reduce the pressing high temperature at all.The dust carried by the breeze covered everything with orange-yellow sand.The green field full of life has extended to the end here.As far as the eye can see, there are only endless sandy seas, rocky mountains that have turned reddish-brown due to sun-fading, and rugged rocks covered with gravel, dotted with a few drought-tolerant bramble shrubs.At the end where the yellow sand meets the blue sky, next to the rolling sand dunes, on the horizon slightly distorted by the hot air, you can vaguely see a lifeless white salt lake, reflecting the dazzling light under the scorching sun.

Like all the deserts in the world, the deserts in Australia also have hidden murderous opportunities everywhere - the scorching sun that can faint people alive, the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that come and go quietly at night, the quicksand that eats people without spitting out their bones... Even if travelers bring enough The water and food in the desert may still be swallowed by the desert.

If it is in the desert of the old continent, there may be desert nomads wrapped in turbans, leading long camel teams, trekking back and forth in the vast sand sea, relying on the rich experience accumulated by generations to avoid the vast desert various risks.But in Australia at this time, there are only kangaroos, no camels, and the aborigines are still in the Stone Age... So in this desert, there are almost no human footprints, and naturally there are no guides.

Fortunately, the traversers at this time do not need to cross the desert with their own feet, it is enough for them to reach the edge of the desert.

At this moment, Wang Qiu was sitting in a desert off-road vehicle, feeling drowsy. Although the air conditioner on the vehicle had already been turned on to the maximum, the air inside the vehicle was still extremely hot, like a flowing flame, letting sweat flow down His forehead was oozing out... Beside the car was a dry riverbed that had been dry for an unknown number of years. Busily breaking ground, littering all kinds of construction waste—literally littering all kinds of construction waste!
Sitting in the car, Wang Qiu saw with twitching eyebrows that they were passing through several open [random doors], coming and going from the base in Sanya, Hainan Island non-stop, picking up stone pillars from nowhere. , stone gates, statues, embossed panels, dilapidated and rough machines, broken bricks and tiles into cars, and all kinds of rotten wood and broken pottery, all in this hot desert and Gobi. littering...

In addition, there is also a very strange construction team, which is building walls and houses on the Gobi Desert under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, but most of them just laid a foundation and built the wall to a height of more than one meter. It fell by the wayside.Then he turned around and continued to build this kind of "unfinished house" in another place... while another even more strange construction team was busy erecting stone piers one by one in the middle of the river bed that had already dried up...

Due to the use of the 22nd century black technology props from the Doraemon world, the progress of the construction project in the desert is quite fast. Unfortunately, what finally appeared in front of people's eyes were some broken bridges with only piers and no bridge decks—and they were still built. On a dry river bed without a drop of water at all; then there is a dead end road leading to the cliff for a while; then there are dilapidated houses with no roof, and a palace with only a few pillars left, and no water has been dug out at all. What's more, they worked hard to build a decent bunker on a high ground, and even bothered to decorate statues and reliefs around it, but then stuffed mine explosives into it, With a bang, the entire bunker was blown to pieces...

At first glance, it seems that these guys who came to the Australian desert to ask for trouble are doing nothing.

But they don't think this is a waste of effort, but has a very important meaning.
