Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 422 Southern Metropolis ([-])

With the arrival of spare parts, the progress of Jinwu B-type 003 is getting faster and faster. Zhang Huaide and others are working overtime for installation and debugging.

It is estimated that the installation and commissioning work will be completed before May 5, and a steady stream of cheap electricity will be delivered to Nandu and surrounding areas.

Abundant and cheap fresh water and electricity can make Nandu an economic hot spot.

On the road from South Australia to Walkerton, a Nissan pickup is heading towards Walkerton.

"Doctor, why do we go from Walkerton to Giles Weather Station? Isn't it faster to go from Ameta?" A young man who was driving asked suspiciously.

The doctor wearing glasses said with a smile: "Adia commissioned me to see the situation in the Great Victoria Desert."

"Oh? It's Professor Adiya from the University of Melbourne?"

"Yes, Dean, you should concentrate on driving." Another brown-haired white young girl reminded.

"Julie, don't worry that there are no vehicles on this road. Of course, there are quite a few hares and ostriches." Dean smiled carelessly.

Beep, beep... Suddenly a huge horn blew in front of them, and Dean was taken aback suddenly.

"Why are there so many cars?" Looking at the rows of construction vehicles on the side of the road, as well as the workers at work, Dean looked like he had seen a ghost.

"They are building roads, but why are there so many Chinese people?" Juli took Chinese as an elective at the University. Although her grades were mediocre, her Chinese was still recognizable.

Suddenly a traffic controller came over and knocked on their car window.

Dean pressed the car window: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"After changing lanes from the left, turn right again." The traffic controller reminded.

"Thank you."

"By the way, drive carefully, there are many construction vehicles running on the road."

"I'll pay attention." Dean turned the steering wheel quickly.

After changing lanes, after driving for about half a kilometer, I turned right and entered a brand new road.

"My God! Why did they build the road so big? Has anyone driven here?" As soon as Dean drove into the new road, he was frightened by the one-way six-lane road in front of him.

The doctor also raised his glasses and frowned when he saw the green belt on the roadside. This is a typical desert area. Planting so many flowers and trees obviously does not conform to the local ecology. Isn’t this a waste of taxpayers’ money?
As they headed north, the roads are two-way 12-lane, and the green belt is covered with flowers, plants and trees. From time to time, the automatic sprayer on the green belt can be seen spraying water mist.

At the same time, the traffic flow is also denser. If they didn't meet a car in an hour before, now they meet one or two in a few minutes.

Suddenly they saw a gas station in front of them, and Dean turned the steering wheel quickly. He planned to go to Walkerton to refuel, but he didn't expect a gas station to open here.

Dean went to refuel, while the doctor was observing the desert on the north side with a telescope. After a while, he saw some workers constructing in the desert.

"What are they doing?" Julie was also watching with a telescope.

"It seems to be building something, but what are they going to use for such a large-scale construction?" The doctor looked at the continuous sand-proof embankment and wondered secretly.

"Doctor, Julie, there are water and fruits for sale here, do you want them?"

Hearing Dean's call, the doctor and Julie temporarily gave up the idea of ​​finding out.

After entering the convenience store inside the gas station, the doctor bought a bottle of water and took a sip of cold mineral water. He seemed to inadvertently ask the clerk:
"It seems that there was no such gas station before?"

"Yes, sir! We only opened half a month ago." The clerk replied with a smile.

"There's not much traffic here, can it be profitable to open a gas station here?" The doctor didn't believe that capitalists would do such a thankless thing.

"It's not good now, but it doesn't mean it will be bad in the future." The clerk continued with a smile.

"why?"

"See those concrete embankments on the north side?"

"I saw it just now, what are those concrete dams for?" The doctor nodded and replied.

"Used to transform the desert, these dikes divide the desert into pieces, and then transform them into pastures or farmland, or residential areas, factories and the like." The clerk explained.

"Reconstructing the desert? This requires a very large investment, right? How could the parliament approve this kind of investment?" The doctor was puzzled.

The clerk shook his head and explained: "NO, NO, this is not invested by the government, but by the Galaxy Consortium. They have contracted the Great Victoria Desert, the Gibson Desert, the Great Sand Desert, the Northern Desert, and the Simpson Desert. They plan to transform these deserts into suitable places for human beings." living area."

"Galaxy Consortium?" Of course the doctor knew about the Galaxy Consortium, and then he thought of the seawater desalination technology owned by the Galaxy Consortium. The Galaxy Consortium can indeed transform the desert.

In the Northwest Desert in Eastern Tang Dynasty, you have to go to a nature reserve to see the desert.

"Dean, let's continue on our way." The doctor patted Dean on the shoulder.

"OK."

The three of them headed north again.

Soon their vehicles entered the grid transformation area.

"Oh Maika, are these Tang people planning to completely wipe out the desert?" Julie exclaimed.

Huge squares completely divided the desert into pieces, and there were countless pipes connected in series.

The doctor also picked up the telescope to observe from time to time. The Dongtang people are trying to defeat nature. They are reversing desertification, which is simply changing the world.

As their pickup truck got closer and closer to Walkerton, some grids that had been preliminarily remodeled also appeared in the eyes of the three.

Sparkling artificial lakes, gem-like glass greenhouses, some withered and decaying pastures, forests, and boxy residential areas.

"It's unbelievable that this place used to be a desert. Is there anything that the Tang people can't do?" Dean was in admiration.

With the transformation of the environment and the heavy investment of the Galaxy Consortium, the vitality of this Walkerton area has become stronger and stronger, like a magnet, attracting many people with dreams here.

Not only immigrants, but a large number of locals are also flocking to Walkerton. If there is demand, there will be demand, which will promote business prosperity.

Soon the pickup truck of the three entered the first small town "South Gate Town" in the Walkerton area, and the road was beside the town.

"Dean, let's go into the town and take a look." The doctor ordered.

"OK." Dean turned the steering wheel lightly, and the pickup made a beautiful turn and drove into the town.

They saw quite a few Tang people, of course, they might be Heren or Gaoli people, after all, prosopagnosia is a common occurrence.

In the eyes of Westerners, Easterners look alike, and vice versa.

"If the navigation didn't show that we were still in Australia, I would have thought I had come to Dongtang." Dean smiled wryly.

"Do you want to eat here? There seems to be Chinese cuisine here." Julie said, pointing to the Wangji restaurant not far away.

The doctor looked at his watch and found that it was almost 11:30, so he nodded: "Let's eat Chinese food here!"

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, the three of them walked into the Wangji restaurant. At this time, there were quite a few guests in the restaurant, including local whites and Tang people.
