Chapter 74: The forged remains of the "Australian Song Empire" The southwestern coast of Australia, along the Swan River, the city of Perth in the modern world Of course, in the spring and summer of 1632, this place was just a wild green field surrounded by desert and ocean.
Groups of kangaroos appear among the vast grasslands and sparse woods, and there are also black swans, the only ones in the world, swimming on the river here.
After a long wait, Doraemon finally succeeded in inputting the topographic and geographical data of the 17th century into the latest batch of random doors.
Everyone who had been stuck on Hainan Island until now, now Finally the ability to move freely around the world.
Then, their first stop using the random door was the Australian continent, which was full of wilderness and yet to be developed.
In fact, the first place where the 10,000-ton modern all-metal sailing ship "Cosco Star" traveled through time and space with hundreds of people landed was not in Perth, but in the port of Darwin, thousands of miles to the north.
Nowadays, the only decent civilized stronghold in the entire Australian continent is the landing camp established by future travelers.
It is naturally located there.
At first glance, it seems that it can directly inherit the legacy of the travelers and set the capital of the Chinese League here.
But the problem is that although Darwin Port is a rich fishing resort in the 21st century, famous for its clear water and colorful tropical fish, it is really not a livable place.
First of all, this place is surrounded by desert. , fresh water resources are not abundant enough to meet the daily needs of a large city.
Secondly, the geographical location of Darwin Port is too far north, close to the equator, and it has a tropical climate.
Not only is it extremely hot, but the humidity in the rainy season often exceeds 70%, which is very uncomfortable.
In addition, several large areas of flat land suitable for urban areas are too low-lying, and there are large tidal flats scattered along the coast, making drainage very difficult.
If there are heavy rains and high tides at the same time, it will be easily waterlogged, and it will turn into a "Water City Venice" from time to time.
In addition, the city is frequently hit by tropical storms, thunderstorms and tornadoes.
For example, the tornado in 1974 almost destroyed the entire city.
So even in the 21st century, the total population of Darwin Port is only a mere 100,000.
Perth, which is also located in Western Australia, has a similar environment to Darwin Port.
It is also a seaside oasis surrounded by desert and ocean.
However, the green space around Perth Port is much larger than that of Darwin Port, and the cultivated land and land that can be developed are Pastures were also much more extensive, enough to provide food for a much larger population.
As far as freshwater resources are concerned, the gurgling Swan River not only brings a beautiful scenery to Perth Harbor, but also provides Perth residents with abundant domestic water and agricultural irrigation water.
The coastal hills and mountains in the upper reaches of the Swan River The various towering ancient trees scattered throughout provide ample timber resources for urban residents, so Perth's development potential is much stronger than that of Darwin Port.
In terms of climate environment, Perth, which is relatively south and has a high latitude, already has a Mediterranean climate, similar to Italy and Greece.
Although this kind of climate may not be suitable for agricultural cultivation, it is full of flowers, sunshine and sandy beaches.
It is definitely suitable for human habitation.
Although summer is hot and dry, it is always more refreshing than hot and humid.
Moreover, 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 in the morning when the sun is not too strong, the afternoon sun will When it's strong, there's a cool breeze, so the heat doesn't go anywhere.
In winter, the climate is mild and rainy, and the average temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, in the modern world, Perth is a very famous tourist destination.
It ranks among the best in the annual selection of the world's best cities to live in, with a total population of 1.6 million.
Of course, it is comparable to places like Sydney and Melbourne in eastern Australia.
Compared with Perth, the natural environment is still much worse.
The former is the essence of Australia in later generations, gathering most of the country's cultivated land, pastures, industry and population, equivalent to the hinterland of China's Central Plains.
Perth is just a larger oasis surrounded by desert.
But at the plenary meeting, after confirming the establishment of the headquarters in Australia, the participating representatives had a fierce argument and finally settled on Perth, a relatively isolated place.
"We are choosing the location for the headquarters of the Chinese League, a place similar to the European Union.
The headquarters and United Nations agencies are located here, rather than trying to swallow up the entire Australian Republic in one fell swoop.
It is enough to have the territory of a municipality, and Perth's environment is just an excellent seaport, which can communicate with the whole world by sea.
The natural resources are enough to supply a city with a population of one million.
Although it is on the Australian mainland, it is Being separated from Australia's best land by a vast desert, future conflicts of interest can be avoided to a considerable extent."
In short, according to the predetermined plan, with the assistance of the central government of the modern time and space of the 21st century, the Chinese League will build an alliance capital called "China City" in Perth of this time and space, which will be drawn from the territory of the Republic of Australia. out as an independent autonomous city-state.
As for the Republic of Australia, one of the five founding members of the Chinese Alliance, it is a pity that since the capital of the Alliance has absorbed the little manpower available in Australia, it is expected that this republic will only exist on paper for quite some time. , there is nothing but vast stretches of wilderness to be developed.

However, even Perth at this time, or the "Chinatown" of this time and space, is still desolate without any trace of civilization.
Because, before the Chinatown in Perth breaks ground, the travelers of this world have to carry out another "cultural project" on the Australian continent, which is to forge their origin in this world and concoct a "lost Australia".
The Capital of the Song Empire": Songcheng To put it simply, before you can build a real city that can live in people, you first find a piece of desert to build a fake city that cannot be lived in.
Northwest Australia, more than fifty kilometers southwest of Darwin Port, is a hot, dry and desolate desert.
Although it is not far from the ocean, the air here is so dry that there is almost no trace of moisture.
Under the exposure of the crimson sun, the desert wind was like the heat of a stove, unable to reduce the intense heat at all.
The dust carried by the breeze makes everything covered with orange sand.
The green fields full of life extend to the end here.
At a glance, there are only boundless seas of sand, rocky mountains that have faded to reddish brown due to the sun, and rugged rocks covered with gravel, interspersed with a small number of drought-resistant thorn bushes.
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 dazzling light under the scorching sun.
Like all deserts in the world, Australian deserts are also full of hidden murderous scorching sun that can burn people alive, venomous snakes and poisonous insects that quietly appear at night, and quicksand that eats people without spitting out their bones, even if travelers carry enough water and food. , it is still possible to be swallowed by the desert.
If it is in the desert of the Old World, there may be desert nomads wearing turbans, leading long camel teams, trekking back and forth in the vast sea of sand, relying on the rich experience accumulated from generation to generation to avoid the vast desert. various risks involved.
But in Australia at this time, there were only kangaroos and no camels.
The Aboriginal people were still in the Stone Age, so there were almost no human footprints in this desert, and naturally no guides could be found.
Fortunately, the travelers at this time did not need to cross the desert with their own feet.
It was enough for them to be able to reach the edge of the desert.
At this moment, Wang Qiu was sitting in a desert off-road vehicle.
He felt drowsy.
Although the air conditioner in the vehicle had been turned up to the maximum, the air in the vehicle was still extremely hot, like a flowing flame, causing sweat to flow down his body.
There were big drops on his forehead oozing out of the car.
Next to it is a dry riverbed that has dried up for who knows how many years.
On the high ground next to the riverbed, a group of construction workers wearing hard hats and windproof hoods are bustling to break ground, littering all kinds of construction waste everywhere. is littering all kinds of construction waste everywhere Sitting in the car, Wang Qiu saw with twitching eyebrows that they were passing through several open random doors, coming and going from the Sanya base on Hainan Island to this side non-stop, taking stone pillars and stone gates from who knows where. , statues, relief panels, broken and rough machines, trucks and trucks of broken bricks, and all kinds of random rotten wood and broken pottery, all scattered everywhere in this hot desert and Gobi.
In addition, there is a very strange construction team, who are sweating profusely under the scorching sun to build walls and houses on the Gobi Desert.
However, most of them just lay a foundation and build the walls to a height of more than one meter.
Just gave up halfway.
Then he turned around and continued to build this "unfinished house" in another place.
Another even stranger construction team was busy erecting stone bridge piers in the middle of the long-dried river bed.
Due to the use of 22nd century black technology props from the Doraemon world, the construction project in the desert progressed very quickly.
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 constructed.
On a dry river bed with not a drop of water at all; then there are sections of dead ends leading to the cliff; Then there were shabby houses with missing roofs, palaces with only a few pillars left, fake stone wells with no water dug at all, and even worse, they worked hard to build a decent one on a certain highland.
The bunker even took the trouble to decorate it with statues and reliefs, but then stuffed mine explosives inside, blowing the entire bunker to pieces with a loud bang.
At first glance, it seems that these guys who went to the Australian desert to seek hardships were doing a completely useless job.
But they don't think this is a waste of effort, but it has very important significance. oshow7:
