From Propulsion City To Multiverse

South Seas, Borneo.

After the rapid conquest of the Nanyang Islands, the region was divided into six states, namely Dihuo State, Kunlun State, Spice State, Rainforest State, Jinxia State, and Nanxi State.

Among them, the rainforest state is centered on Borneo, plus some small islands attached to it.

Dihuozhou is mainly based on the former Heling Island, plus subsidiary islands.

Kunlun Prefecture is dominated by Sea Kunlun Island.

The Spice State is dominated by the Spice Islands and Houtu Island.

Jinxia Prefecture is dominated by Jinzhou Island.

Nancy Prefecture is dominated by the Nancy Peninsula.

13 steamships and 19 sailing wooden boats traveled all the way south from the southeast coast of the mainland, bringing 6,637 immigrants and a large amount of supplies to the northern coast of Borneo Island in the Rainforest State.

It anchored at the port renamed Xin'an.

Xin'an Port was the former capital of Borneo Borneo, and also the Bandar Seri Begawan for later generations.

When Hao Jian stepped into the land of Borneo, the time had come to January 12, 5th year of the new calendar.

Kou Zhong, who had already adjusted his mood, looked at the scorching sun harbor, and sighed in a brisk tone:

Mobei is covered with ice and snow, but Nanyang is like midsummer. The world is really wonderful.

Suddenly he saw a short-haired lady walking towards him, he felt a little familiar, and beside him was hot as a dog, Ba Fenghan teased:

Old Zhong, you won't fall in love with other girls, will you?

Kou Zhong shook his head: No, it just looks familiar.

What an old-fashioned excuse to strike up a conversation. Ba Fenghan acted like I see through you.

Hao Jian, who was walking in front, talked to the woman for a few words, and then led them to the guest house.

The woman seemed to sense Kou Zhong's unnatural gaze, turned her head and asked, Comrade, is there anything strange about me?

Uh... Kou Zhong waved his hand: No, I just think the girl is very similar to a person, and I don't mean to offend you.

Hao Jian's voice came from the front: Wanjing has something to do with Zhu Yuyan, so don't think about it here.

Kou Zhong suddenly realized.

But Shan Wanjing already knew about Zhu Yuyan, and she didn't say anything about it.

According to the original timeline, Ssangyong would have intersected with the Dongming faction in Yuhang, but due to the emergence of the People's Revolutionary League, the Dongming faction was taken down before it had time to land, and the two sides naturally had no chance of intersection.

But fate is such a thing, sometimes it is wonderful.

Shan Wanjing, who has studied in Liuqiu for several years, did not retire like her mother Shan Meixian, but chose to join the Human Revolutionary Union.

In the third year of the new calendar, he served as the clerk of the health center in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Southeast State, and then rose all the way to the governor of North Borneo Prefecture, Rainforest State.

There are 4 provinces in the Rainforest State, which are East Borneo, West Borneo, South Borneo and North Borneo.

In terms of population and development, North Borneo is the most prosperous and important, because it is an area on Borneo Island where the land is relatively easy to develop, and it is also one of the supply transfer stations for the South Seas route.

After coming out of the port, a group of people got on the buffalo passenger car.

Entering the urban area of ​​Xin'an Port, everyone saw a large area of ​​stone pagodas and Buddha statues, which were left over from the Polu Kingdom.

However, this country with a population of 360,000 has been wiped out by the Human Revolutionary Federation at this time, and the population has been scattered to various parts of Southeast Asia.

At this time, the population of Rain Forest State was 230,000, including 60,000 Polu, 43,000 Dayak, 36,000 Kunlun, and 47,000 Nandao, and the rest were immigrants from the north.

Of course, the so-called northern immigrants are not entirely Han people.

There are also Li people and Yue people from Qiongzhou Island, Guangnan Prefecture and other places.

However, specialization is not allowed within the territory of the Human Revolutionary League.

Especially after large-scale compulsory education and science popularization, these tribal people who did not have much racial concept quickly integrated into the Human Revolutionary Union.

To sow dissension and create confrontation internally is to seek death, and complete assimilation is the kingly way.

Shan Wanjing's strategy here is to promote a very strong assimilation. The Tianzhu Brahmins and Tianzhu Salmans who had been here for hundreds of years were quickly uprooted.

After she introduced the situation in various parts of Borneo to Hao Jian, she talked about the giant python.

I discussed with Chief Zhang of West Borneo about mobilizing the Marine Corps to enter the interior of Borneo, but that place is too deep. The Marine Corps tried to enter a month ago, but they couldn't find those big pythons. Habitat.

Hao Jian has read the information, and the area where the giant python appeared is in the jurisdiction of West Borneo.

But the area of ​​West Borneo is not small, about 130,000 square kilometers, larger than the two Tongliao.

The area of ​​the entire Borneo island is still as high as 740,000 square kilometers.

Although the Human Revolutionary Federation has established a state capital here at this stage, the actual control area is only the coastal area, and the initial control area is less than 100,000 square kilometers.

The remaining area is a large area of ​​tropical rainforest.

The core of West Borneo is also in the coastal plain and extends about 100 kilometers inland along the Rain River.

Shan Wanjing continued to explain: After we took control of the Rain River Delta in West Borneo, most of the Dayak tribes who had previously entrenched here surrendered to us, but there were still a small number of diehards who sneaked into the inland tropical rainforest. among.

The locations that were attacked were the three immigrant fortresses deep inland, all at the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Yuhe River. It stands to reason that large animals have fixed habitats. The areas we reclaimed are not liked by pythons. swamp.

Hao Jian reminded: You overlooked a problem.

What? Shan Wanjing was puzzled.

Just because we haven't encroached on the python's habitat doesn't mean others haven't.

Shan Wanjing suddenly realized: You mean that after the remnants of the Dayak people went deep into the rainforest, they set fire to the rainforest?

Otherwise what would they eat?

According to the data of Black Yiwei, there are about 130,000 to 150,000 Dayaks in West Borneo.

There are about 20,000 to 30,000 Dayaks who fled into the inland rainforest.

These people gave up the relatively mature rain river delta plain, and their own productivity is relatively low. In addition, the rainforest soil is very poor, and there is no way to survive without setting fire to the wasteland.

In this way, the Dayak people set fire to the wilderness, which would inevitably affect the habitat of the giant python.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

After a while, the streets and alleys were covered by torrential rain. The rainy season in Borneo is from October to February of the following year in the lunar calendar, and the dry season is from June to July.

Hao Jian and his party came to the guest house.

Immediately took a shower in the pool, the place was so hot.

Ba Fenghan, who was born in a prairie tribe, faced the scorching heat wave in Borneo, and his whole body was not feeling well.

On the contrary, Kou Zhong, who has lived in Jiangnan for a period of time, can barely adapt to the climate here.

Brother Han, would you like a bottle of yogurt?

Ba Fenghan, who was lying in the swimming pool, said lazily, Is there any ice?

Yes. Kou Zhong opened the incubator and replied.

Hurry up and bring me a bottle with ice! Ba Fenghan immediately jumped up from the swimming pool.

Kou Zhong poured him a bottle of yogurt, which was fermented with buffalo milk, and as for the ice cubes, they were not specially provided by the hostel.

This is the credit of Shan Wanjing. She knew that the immigrants from the north could not adapt to the climate of Borneo all at once, so she built an ice factory in Xin'an Port. A 30-kg ice brick costs only 15 yuan.

For the 12 yuan for 1 kg of rice, this price is basically losing money.

But sometimes, the official industry does not have to be profitable.

In fact, the ice factory is profitable, because the ice factory also produces ice cream, popsicles, ice drinks and yogurt, and is responsible for frozen storage.

Other state capitals in Nanyang have also imitated and built many ice factories.

In fact, some of the newly built houses in Nanyang are equipped with roof water circulation refrigeration systems. Specifically, a community builds a large underground water storage tank, and then connects circulation water pipes to the roofs of each household.

When the temperature is extremely high during the day, the water temperature in the storage tank is lowered by putting in a saltpeter refrigeration barrel, and then the steam engine is used to pump water to provide air-conditioning for the whole community indoors.

The potassium nitrate in the saltpeter refrigeration barrel will be dried with the waste heat of the steam engine to achieve the purpose of recycling.

At present, there are only 5 residential areas in Xin'an Port, and 3 nearby villages, which realize centralized cooling.

The guest house didn't have an air-conditioning room, so Ba Fenghan could only sleep with ice cubes in his arms.

Fortunately, it is the rainy season at this time, and the abundant rainfall brings a little coolness here.

But Ba Fenghan didn't know yet, the next step was to go deep into the tropical rainforest, that was the real harsh environment.
