Portugal has three major rivers, from north to south they are the Douro, Tejo and Guadiana.
These three rivers are actually international rivers. Spain and Portugal each occupy a part, with Spain in the upper reaches and Portugal in the lower reaches.
Because of the rugged terrain of the Iberian Peninsula, the three major rivers with shipping value are the Tejujo and Guadiana rivers. However, considering that a large part of the lower reaches of the Guadiana River is the border river with Spain, plus this
There is also a famous wine-producing area nearby, so it is really inappropriate to set up an industrial zone here.
The Tejo River is actually an excellent wine-producing area, but Portugal must rely on industry to develop.
Industrial development is bound to bring some pollution, which will definitely affect the quality of wine.
However, for Tang Ning, Portugal's development cannot be supported by wine. Of course, Tang Lin does not want to give up Portugal's famous wine industry. He is just making an appropriate sacrifice.
As long as Portugal's wine industry retains its main body, the best wine-producing area in the country is not the Tejo River Basin anyway. The most famous wine-producing area is the Douro River.
Regarding the industrial layout of Portugal, Tang Ning prepared a plan with one focus and two points.
Yixin, of course, is the Tejo River Bay Industrial Zone.
The Tejo River originates near Tragasete in the towering and humid Albarracín Mountains of eastern Spain. It first flows northwest, then turns west, and then flows through the arid inland areas of central Spain and Portugal.
Finally, it flows into the Atlantic Ocean 15km west of the humid Almada in Portugal.
The upper reaches of the Tejo River are humid, the middle reaches are dry, and the lower reaches are humid. The river surface is open, which is conducive to navigation. The river has a total length of 1007km, a flow area of 81,000km2, a multi-year average flow of 305m3/s, and a runoff of 9.62 billion m3. There are many tributaries in the Tejo River basin.
, there are as many as 43 large and small tributaries flowing into it along the way. The most important tributaries in Portugal are the Zeziri River and the Soraya River.
The world is now in the second industrial revolution, and electricity is the main industrial energy source. Of course, when setting up industrial zones in Portugal, electricity consumption must be considered. The electricity in this era is mainly thermal power and hydropower, and the most favorable direction for electricity development in Portugal is hydropower.
.
The Zeziri River originates from the southern slopes of the Estrela Mountains, flows through the mountains and hills of Baja Beira Province, and flows into the Tejo River from northeast to southwest. It has a total length of 260 kilometers. Later, large hydropower stations were built, which is Portugal's
Make outstanding contributions to development.
The junction of the Zeziri River and the Tejo River is Constancia. The section of the Tejo River above Constancia is actually not very valuable for shipping. In later generations, the upstream area was also a key area for Portugal and Spain to establish water conservancy facilities.
.
However, in the river section above Constancia, Spain acted unscrupulously and built a large number of hydropower stations, reservoirs and other water conservancy facilities. However, Portugal, because it was concerned about Spain's eyes and was afraid of hindering Spain's river transportation, did not develop the Tejo River.
Unfortunately, the water conservancy facilities built on the main roads do not include hydropower stations.
The development of hydropower stations in this era has been quite mature. Now that Portugal is stronger than Spain, Tang Ning doesn't need to care about Spain's attention at all.
In order to develop the Tejo Bay Area, Tang Ning will build large-scale reservoirs, dams and hydropower stations in the Tejo River section above Constantia. As long as they are developed, the power generation and water storage capacity will meet all of Portugal's industrial and civil needs.
need.
This project, named the Light of Hope by Tang Ning, is huge. Portugal does not have the technology. However, Portugal does not have the technology, but Britain and France do have the virtues.
Not long ago, the Portuguese United Empire put out a tender for the Light of Hope project, and I believe that greedy foreign capital will soon come over.
The core of Portugal's future is undoubtedly the Tejo Bay Area.
Tejo Bay is located between the three major cities of Lisbon, Santarem and Setúbal. It communicates with the Atlantic Ocean through a narrow strait. The water level in the bay is deep and safe. There is also a Tejo River that can communicate with the mainland.
Portugal's current industrial area is located on the Bay of Setubal in Setubal, the capital of the Algarve. The industrial area is arranged along the lower reaches of the Sado River.
The Sadou River originates from the hilly land of Beja District, runs from south to north, and then turns northwest to form a wide estuary bay. It flows into the Setubal Bay of the Atlantic Ocean through Setubal, with a total length of 175 kilometers.
Compared with the Tejo River, the Sado River is too small and has limited development potential. The industrial area here has reached its upper limit. If Portuguese industry wants to upgrade, of course it must be deployed in the direction of the Tejo River Bend.
Setubal Bay is very close to Tejo Bay, with only Setubal separating them. Industrial upgrading and transfer are very convenient.
From the perspective of industrial layout, the future urban circle of Tejo River Bend will actually expand around Saibatur, and the core of the future urban circle will also be here.
But this is normal. The Algarve is considered the place where the Miguel Braganza family thrives in Portugal. It is quite normal to prioritize the benefits of Sebatur, the capital.
In the future of Portugal, the center of gravity will be the Tejo Bay, and the two fulcrums will be Porto and Coimbra.
Porto is the ancient capital of Portugal and the wine capital of world civilization.
The wines of Porto's Douro River region, whether in this era or in later generations, are the top wine industry regions in the world and the trump card among trump cards.
The four major wine countries in Europe are France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Portugal’s ability to establish itself as a wine power mainly relies on Porto.
Wine is Portugal’s label, and this must not be lost.
In Tangning's future plan for Portugal, the Porto State directly under the jurisdiction of Porto will further enhance the wine industry. Porto's future industries will be mainly wine, fishery, light industry, and tourism.
Coimbra is famous for having the University of Coimbra built in 1290. It is the place where the official Portuguese language was formed and it is the undoubted cultural place of Portugal.
Each major European power has its own well-known universities, and these universities often have a long history.
The UK is Oxford, Cambridge, and Trinity (the university is in Ireland, which later became independent); Germany is Berlin, Heidelberg, and Munich; France is Paris...
For the Portuguese United Empire to rise, culture must keep up.
To be honest, Portuguese culture is limited to one area. In terms of cultural dissemination in later generations, Portugal is not as good as its own son Brazil.
Although the five universities in Portugal are equal in name, in terms of resource allocation, Tangning will still focus on the University of Coimbra like the previous King of Portugal.
In addition to science, education and culture, Coimbra is also famous for its handicrafts such as leather, pottery, leather shoes, etc. Even its wine is also famous.
The fulcrum of Coimbra is to give full play to its strengths in terms of layout, focusing on culture, science, education, and art, and taking a high-end route.
Downing's Portuguese United Empire will vigorously support Coimbra, explore Portuguese culture, create new characters, and carry out a great-power cultural strategy.
In the future, Portugal will export its culture to the outside world, and Coimbra will definitely be the first export point.
The most important task of the University of Coimbra today is the compilation of the official Portuguese lingua franca assigned by Downing.
The so-called official Portuguese lingua franca is actually the Portuguese Mandarin.
Brazil and Portugal have been separated for almost 100 years, and there are many differences in the languages between the two places. It is very important to recombine and create a common language.
The existence of Mandarin is very necessary, and Tang Ning will definitely suppress dialects.
As for how to promote Mandarin in Portugal? Tang Ning has experienced it personally in later generations, so she naturally knows how to do it.
Under state education, Tang Ning, a southerner, speaks Mandarin very well, but her native dialect is really difficult to describe.
