Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Chapter 227: South China's Desert Control Project

After South China annexed most of the territory of the Australian continent, it initially established four kingdoms here.

However, due to the long-term underpopulation of the Australian continent and the large desert area on the continent, after stabilizing the local situation, Nanhua began to integrate the four kingdoms.

After years of adjustments, there are only two countries left in the Australian continent: the Kingdom of Western Australia and the Kingdom of Eastern Australia. As for the former Australia, because it has been very honest and obedient over the years, Nanhua has not treated it too harshly. Now, Australia, which is hiding in the southeast corner of the Australian continent, is actually living a very comfortable life.

After all, they have the big brother Nanhua to help them withstand the international pressure, so they and Xilan just need to close the door and live their own lives.

Precisely because of the stable local situation, Nanhua has been managing Australia's deserts since a very early time.

The entire Australian continent has a total area of ​​more than 700 million square kilometers, of which South China occupies 93% of the continent's territory. Among this part of the territory, the area of ​​desert and semi-desert reaches 340 million square kilometers, which is almost half of South China's territory in Australia.

As for these desert areas, Nanhua naturally cannot allow them to continue eroding the existing land.

Especially for those semi-deserts, Nanhua will not allow them to continue to be abandoned, so since 55, Nanhua has been making great efforts to manage this part of the land.

The semi-desert area of ​​Australia is about 180 million square kilometers. After more than ten years of unsparing investment, the ecology of Australia's semi-desert areas has returned to normal. In particular, the emergence of three canals has greatly improved the climate in Australia's inland areas.

The reason why Nanhua was able to build three canals with a length of more than 800 kilometers in Australia in a short period of time was thanks to the emergence of the hydrogen bomb.

Compared with the atomic bomb, although the hydrogen bomb is also a nuclear weapon, the pollution of this weapon is much less than the former.

The South China Institute of Geological Sciences used this highly efficient weapon to dig three canals of such a large scale in ten years.

These three canals connect Australia's inland with the ocean. The seawater that flows into the inland continues to evaporate, making the climate in many originally arid areas become humid, which also indirectly improves the environment of the surrounding desert areas.

In ten years, South China increased Australia's usable land by two million square kilometers, while also limiting the area of ​​desert on the Australian continent to within 150 million square kilometers.

This change brings many benefits, especially to Nanhua.

However, at this stage of the project, Nanhua does not plan to continue to renovate the remaining part of the desert.

In the previous ten years, Nanhua invested a huge amount of money just to deal with those semi-deserts. You know, semi-deserts are much easier to deal with than deserts. Even so, Nanhua has put in a lot of effort.

Now, if Nanhua is asked to continue dealing with the remaining part of the desert, it is still unknown how much money will be invested to see results.

Therefore, South China only needs to ensure that the area of ​​desert in Australia does not expand any further. As for other things, the country is unable to cope with them.

After retirement, Sun Tong has come to Australia more than once. The original semi-desert has now turned into lush forests. Without Sun Tong's huge investment, this huge environmental governance project would not have produced results so quickly.

"I can't believe that this place was a desolate place five years ago, but now it has become a small town with a beautiful environment."

Currently, except for the areas around the three major canals which are still uninhabitable due to nuclear radiation, other well-managed areas are home to a large population.

Among the people living in these places, many are workers participating in desert control projects, and there are also many outsiders who are attracted by the local scenery.

These small towns are scattered across central Australia. Due to the vast area and sparse population, living here is quite good except for the fact that the fresh water resources are not so abundant.

In particular, everyone who comes to these towns will have a chance to purchase forest areas at a low price. One hundred hectares of forest areas are sold for only one thousand Nanhua. You will never see this kind of deal in other places in Nanhua.

After purchasing the forest area, the owner of the forest only needs to ensure that the number of trees in the forest does not decrease, and then you can cut down the trees in the forest at will.

Through the sale of timber, people living in these small towns now have a considerable income. According to what Sun Tong learned during his visit to Australia, the average annual income per capita in central Australia has reached about 7000 South African dollars. You must know that this is per capita, and the currency unit is South African dollars.

At the same time, the per capita income of the entire South China was only about 3000. Among the developed countries in the world, the country that can approach this per capita income level is Switzerland. However, Switzerland’s current per capita income, converted into South Yuan, is only about 2000.

It is not difficult to find from this data that although the living conditions of people living in central Australia are worse than those in other areas, their income is several times that of people outside!
