There were no longer any earth States in the Borneo, this place had completely become a Chinese city for immigrants!
The leader's arrival was earth-shattering. The entire Brunei Bay had already been under martial law for three days now, and the main waterway was cleared to prevent any foreign ships from entering. The biggest trestle bridge had been refurbished and covered with bright red carpets.
In less than five years, this place had already become the capital of the Borneo. Nearly 200 thousand people lived here, and Infrastructure s were constructed extremely well!
Along the coastline, Xiao Letian could see groups of cannons with strong firepower. They covered each other and formed a shooting net, guarding against any threats to the ocean.
Behind the shore defense turret was an endless expanse of rubber forests, rice fields, factory workshops, and even further, a lush and verdant rain forest!
The Chinese were indeed infrastructure maniacs. As long as they were given land, they would immediately unleash their own race's magic and undergo all sorts of transformations!
The coal burning steam engine drove the pumping machine day and night to drain the swamp. The farmers built all kinds of dikes and dams to start farming!
The original channel was broadened and deepened, and the waterways and drains, which were as dense as spider webs, became the natural complement of the channel!
The rainforest swamps that gave natives and foreign devils headaches, in less than five years' time, had actually turned into vast fields and manors under the diligent hands of the Chinese!
It was a miracle. In the European impressions of the time, the land near the equator was difficult to reclaim, and these wild lands should be kept as they were. The Europeans could only manage those ports!
No one was interested in transforming the environment for large-scale basic investment. In the eyes of the Europeans, the rain forest was a place no one would want to live if it wasn't for its wealth of spices and minerals, ports and so on.
It rains half a year, typhoons are frequent, trees are lush, swamps are everywhere... Forget about industry, even primitive agriculture is hard to develop.
With the exception of some of the floodplains that could develop agriculture, the rest of the land was a green desert!
It was no wonder that the Europeans had such an idea. The reproduction rate of the rainforest was astonishing, and the growth of the trees was changing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye!
The forest had just been cleared out, but it didn't even take three months for it to turn into a jungle again. The final result of the competition for the living space between the human and the rainforest would always end with the human's failure!
Not to mention that there were vipers, mosquitoes, flies, and cannibals in the rainforest … This was not something that Europeans who were used to living like a prince could adapt to!
With their bodies in the mouths of the foreigners, the rainforest was also known as the green desert!
However, they didn't expect that the green desert would be conquered by the Chinese. These people clearly didn't know the story of the Great Yu River. They didn't know that the ultimate move of the Chinese people to subdue Feng Shui was their innate race!
”In the development of the tropical rain forest, the biggest problem is that there is a lot of water. If there is a lot of water, it will leak out. In the end, it's still the Old Ancestor's precious experience!”
Xiao Letian held his binoculars and looked at the villages and towns on the coastline, as well as the beautiful farmland that was neatly arranged in various geometric shapes.
He even saw terraced fields, these farmers who coveted the land so much that they would not let even a speck of wasteland slip by!
”Cheng, Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, He. China was the most successful farming civilization of the Chinese era, not one of them. However, because of its dazzling brilliance, it became a burden for the Chinese to enter the industrial civilization!”
”Things that are too successful will carry too much of a burden … ”I can't let go of this burden. In the face of this new era, I'm always hesitant to cross over …”
