With the arrival of parts and components, the progress of Jinwu B-type No. 003 is getting faster and faster. Zhang Huaide and others are working overtime on the installation and debugging.
It is estimated that the installation and commissioning work can be completed before May 20, and a steady stream of cheap power will be delivered to Nandu and surrounding areas.
Abundant and cheap fresh water and electricity can turn Nandu into an economic hot spot.
On the road leading from South Australia to Walkerton, a Nissan pickup truck was heading towards Walkerton.
"Doctor, why do we go from Walkerton to Giles Weather Station? Isn't it faster to go from Ametta?" A young man who was driving asked doubtfully.
The doctor wearing glasses smiled and said, "Adiya entrusted me to see the situation in the Victoria Desert."
"Oh? Professor Adiya from the University of Melbourne?"
"Yes, Dean, you should focus on driving." Another young brown-haired white girl reminded.
"Julie, don't worry there aren't many vehicles on this road. Of course there are a lot of hares and ostriches." Dean smiled carelessly.
Bah, bah, bah... suddenly a huge horn sounded in front of them, casually, and Dean was immediately startled.
"Why are there so many cars?" Looking at the rows of construction vehicles and workers at work on the roadside, Dean looked like he had seen a ghost.
"They are building roads, but why are there so many Tang people?" Julie took Chinese as an elective in college. Although her grades were average, she could still speak Chinese.
Suddenly a traffic controller came over and knocked on their car window.
Dean pressed down the car window and said, "Sir, what can I do?"
"After changing lanes from the left, turn right again," the traffic controller reminded.
"Thanks."
"By the way, drive carefully, there are many construction vehicles running on the road."
"I'll pay attention." Dean quickly turned the steering wheel.
After changing lanes, we drove about half a kilometer and then turned right onto a brand new road.
"Oh my god! Why did they build the road to be so big? Is there anyone driving here?" As soon as Dean drove onto the new road, he was frightened by the six-lane one-way road in front of him.
The doctor also raised his glasses and frowned as he looked at the green belt on the roadside. This is a typical desert area. Planting so many flowers, plants and trees is obviously not in line with the local ecology. Isn't this a waste of taxpayers' money?
As they went all the way north, the highway had 12 lanes in both directions, and the green belt was covered with flowers, plants and trees. From time to time, you could see automatic sprayers spraying water mist on the green belt.
At the same time, the traffic flow has also become denser. If they did not encounter a car in an hour before, they now encounter one or two in a few minutes.
Suddenly they saw a gas station in front of them, and Dean quickly turned the steering wheel. He originally planned to go to Walkerton to refuel, but he didn't expect that a gas station would open here.
Dean went to refuel, while the doctor looked at 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 observing with a telescope.
"It seems like something is being built, but what exactly are they going to do with such a large-scale construction?" The doctor looked at the endless sand control dams and wondered secretly.
"Doctor, Julie, there is water and fruit for sale here, do you want them?"
Hearing Dean's call, the doctor and Julie temporarily gave up the idea of finding out.
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 like there wasn’t this gas station before?”
"Yes, sir! We just opened half a month ago." The clerk replied with a smile.
"The traffic volume here is not large. Can it be profitable to open a gas station here?" The doctor did not believe that capitalists would do such a thankless job.
"Just because it's not good now, doesn't mean it won't be good in the future." The clerk continued to say with a smile.
"Why?"
“Did you see those concrete embankments on the north side?”
"I just saw it. What are those concrete embankments used for?" The doctor nodded and replied.
"They are used to transform the desert. These dams divide the desert into pieces, and then transform them into pastures or farmland, or residential areas, factories, etc." the clerk explained.
"Transforming the desert? This requires a lot of investment, right? How could the parliament approve such an investment?" The doctor was puzzled.
The clerk shook his head and explained, "No, no, this is not invested by the government, but invested by the Galaxy Consortium. They contracted the Victoria Desert, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Northern Desert, and Simpson Desert, and are preparing to transform these deserts into ones suitable for human survival."
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 could indeed transform the desert.
In the northwestern desert of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, you now 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 hit the road again and headed north.
Soon their vehicle entered the square renovation area.
"Oh my God, are these Tang people planning to completely wipe out the desert?" Julie exclaimed.
Huge square grids completely divide the desert into pieces, and there are countless pipes connecting them.
The doctor also picked up his telescope from time to time and observed that the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty were trying to defeat nature. They were reversing desertification and were simply changing the world.
As their pickup truck got closer and closer to Walkerton, some initially transformed squares also appeared in their eyes.
There are sparkling artificial lakes, gem-like glass greenhouses, some yellow and decaying pastures, forests, and square residential areas.
"It's unbelievable that this place used to be a desert. Is there anything that people from the Tang Dynasty can't do?" Dean was still impressed.
Thanks to the transformation of the environment and the heavy investment from the Galaxy Consortium, the vitality of the Walkerton area has become 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 a demand, there will be a demand for business prosperity.
Soon, the three people's pickup truck entered the first town in the Walkerton area, "South Gate Town", and the road ran beside the town.
"Dean, let's go into the town and take a look." The doctor ordered.
"OK." Dean turned the steering wheel gently, and the pickup truck made a beautiful turn and drove into the town.
They saw quite a few people from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they could also be Kazuto or Gaoli people. After all, racial prosopagnosia is a universal phenomenon.
In the eyes of Westerners, Easterners all look similar, and vice versa.
"If the navigation hadn't shown that we were still in Australia, I would have thought we were in Dongtang." Dean smiled bitterly.
"Would you like to eat here? There seems to be Chinese food here." Julie pointed to Wangji Restaurant not far away and said.
The doctor looked at his watch and found that it was almost half past eleven, so he nodded, "Let's eat Chinese food here!"
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, the three of them walked into Wangji Restaurant. At this time, there were many customers in the restaurant, including local white people and people from Tang Dynasty.
