The Brazilians seem to have adapted very quickly after being colonized by Vale, and many Brazilians even think that their heroic emperor has died in battle, but Pedro II is still fighting stubbornly. Of course, the colonial government did not go all out to search for him, just like the whereabouts of Su Shun, Seng Lingqin, and Duanhua are unknown, and they are not very taken to heart, Tang Ning is confident that under his own management, the people will gradually recognize the government, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or Great Brazil, if Pedro is not bitten to death by the poisonous snakes in the Brazilian jungle, it is his fate.

Downing is well aware of the abundance of minerals in Brazil, which ranks among the top in the world, so he sent an exploration team early in the morning, and in addition to this, he also had to plan for the most important thing - the development of forestry. This time, the Amazon Forestry Commission is in complete control of the lungs of the earth. In the past, they had spent a lot of money on small patches of rainforest in several small countries to give their countries huge interest-free loans, and after the rainforests in Brazil were in hand, they had to be even more careful.

Brazil's national name derives from Brazilian rosewood, the most valuable commodity at the time when Portuguese explorers first discovered the continent, and has long been the mainstay of Brazil's economy, the only source of red dye in the early 16th century. For more than 200 years, tens of millions of Brazilian rosewoods have been uncontrollably cut down and are now a minority among the trees. The Commission's first policy is to protect Brazilian rosewoods, gradually reducing the deforestation of wild Brazilian rosewoods over a period of 10 years, and at the same time creating redwood forests.

The policy of cutting down one tree and planting one tree alive for other species is a regulation for the ordinary logging industry, but there is one method of felling that is not subject to such regulations. Forests have a property that when the trees in one place are too concentrated, it will affect the further growth of the forest, a bit like the Malthusian trap of the plant world. It's easy to understand because sunlight is limited. So it's not that the primeval forest is the best protection if it is not touched, if in a dry forest, when the trees are extremely dense, it will even spontaneously combust, it will be a pity.

It was only natural to come up with another theory of using forests – combing forests. It means that logging in the depths of the dense forest makes room for new trees to grow, and then changes them every once in a while, because the clearings of the dense forest that have been cut down will naturally regenerate, so this is a natural and easy way to cut wood, and the only thing that needs to be solved is the inconvenient transportation problem in the depths of the dense forest.

This problem was not possible to solve before, but now with airships, it is easy to deal with it, and planning the energy problem of the logging site, as in the case of the Trans-Siberian Pulse project, so that the cost of this logging method can be greatly reduced, is the key to success.

The Siberian Artery, where windmills are built every 50 kilometers and mini-fortresses are not suited to the design of logging sites. The choice of logging sites depends on the density of the forest, and Downing decided to build a temporary logging site at intervals deep in the dense forest, and concentrate all the timber obtained from combing the dense forest in the vicinity in the temporary logging site, where the necessary processing is done, the branches and leaves of the wood are arranged, the length is cut, and a container can be gathered to summon "air trucks" to pick it up.

Don't be frightened to see their three-year-old children running around dozens of meters high in the Amazon jungle with treehouses tens of meters high. These treehouse people have simply inherited the way of life of their ancestors.

They lived in trees to avoid being harassed by insects, wild animals, poisonous snakes, and mosquitoes near the ground, and Downing decided to design new "tree houses" for the lumberyard workers to inhabit them. For temporary dwellings, don't be too careful, choose a stout and tall tree, cut down the trees around it, and then clean its own branches and foliage – a special sleeve with rotating blades from top to bottom can do this in a matter of minutes. Clearing the foliage is a rather tedious process in the logging process, so the design of this sleeve is not optional, its pruning radius can be adjusted automatically according to the size of the trunk, and the smoothness of the final product will surprise you.

The pruned trees are already very much like a windmill pile gifted by nature, which can save a lot of money, and if it is temporary, it can be saved, otherwise why build a tree house. For balance, there is also an H-shaped windmill here, and its blades are connected to the main body of the treehouse, just like a big hat with windmill blades worn on the stump, and the brim is cocked for water collection, which is used to collect water in the Amazon rainforest, where it rains many times a day, and there is no need to worry about the water problem.

Inside the hat is the living space, which is like a big birdcage in the sky, and it is also double-layered. With a usable area of 25 square meters on the lower floor and 15 square meters on the upper floor, the team of three or five people in the temporary lumberyard is stress-free. Its upper level can be used for bathing, and the bath water can be used to flush the toilet, and the sewage of the toilet is naturally disposed of by plastic pipes from high altitudes to dozens of meters away in the dense forest.

Sewage can't be dumped directly under the treehouse, they have to go down to work. This magical bird's nest can also have an elevator - it is a bearing that carries a 100-meter-long soft ladder, and the motor can carry people up and down, a technology that is mostly used in helicopters, and the owner of the treehouse also enjoys this kind of fun up and down.

The Windmill Tree House not only provides electricity for lumberjacks, but also uses the surplus electricity to produce hydrogen as a small supply station for airships. A windmill breaks down water day and night, and its power is not small.

Tang Ning had already started to develop airship cranes, but the weight of lifting a large pile of wood could reach dozens of tons, and the machinery for roughing wood was also of this scale, making his original Beluga-class cranes insufficient. Downing has already lifted the weight of the airship crane to 15 tons with four helicopter-class rotors, what if it is not enough? Simply increasing the size of the airship affects flexibility, not his style. One day, he had an idea and came up with the "Pisces Crane" plan, which combined two Beluga-class cranes in the air! When encountering perverted lifting needs, it can even be three-in-one or four-in-one, which should be enough, right?

In this way, the problem of the crane's ultra-high load was quickly solved. As a result, the new logging plant is like an earthworm flying in the air, while obtaining high-quality timber and making the forest healthier, stronger and fresher. All temporary logging sites are kept records in order to calculate the rate at which the forest is recovering and to gain experience for future extraction. At that time, the treehouse was to be dismantled and replaced with a pure supply station that only produced hydrogen and stored water.

The abandoned lumber yard was used as a sightseeing spot for the Global Natural Wonders tour until the forest was restored. It's nice to have a bird's-eye view of the lungs of the Earth from the air, but wouldn't it be nice to be on the ground and take a breath of air like no other in the world's most biodiverse place? Living in the treehouse with birds, reptiles, apes, and listening to those refreshing chirps makes you feel like you're truly embraced by nature.

Until enough experience has been accumulated in dense forest logging, the investment is very large, and only a strange organization like Vale will adopt such a technology, and what is even more jealous is that wood giants such as IKEA and Japan Tenone Construction Company have been allocated quotas by Downing to purchase this kind of wood, so that their sales can be stable, at least to protect their capital. It is also a country that implements the policy of cutting down one plant, and only purchases its wood products in large quantities, and has been recognized by the Telegraph as the world's most important environmental protection company and a model global citizen.

The stump windmill is also very suitable for places like Balticu, New Guinea, etc. It is too indecent to pull a power pole in the primeval forest, and to make a tall tree to act as a supply station for air trucks can solve the energy problem of airship transportation, although not as efficient as the Siberian artery, but also to the point of energy self-sufficiency.

Downing's new energy policy always puts oil on the back burner, and human society seems to be unable to feel the arrival of the oil age, as if oil is only used as a chemical raw material, not an important energy source.

Actually, Downing likes New Guinea more than the Amazon rainforest, because New Guinea is safer, you think, birds of paradise can evolve the habit of dancing on the ground safely, there are no poisonous snakes, beasts, and even large mammals, which is very suitable for humans to get close to nature. Such a unique primeval forest, if not used to develop tourism, it is really a terrible thing.

In the treacherous Amazon rainforest, where trekking dozens of kilometers between two treehouses is almost impossible, in New Guinea. So, in addition to replicating the logging industry of the Amazon rainforest. "No worries about life" in close contact with the primeval forest, travel can be a tourist selling point.

There are many primitive tribes in New Guinea who have never been in contact with the outside world because they are blocked by mountains and rivers, and for these people, Downing does not rashly disrupt their lives, and there are already thousands of tribes connected by mountain roads, and the most important thing to help them is to solve the problem of language barriers.

When it comes to dealing with unfamiliar tribes, human experts say it's best to trade fairly and in a way that appears to be beneficial to both parties. Obviously, it was impossible for these tribes to recognize gold as hard currency, and they had to "trade" through barter.

Trade can also be a type of tourism project. Imagine how fun it is to be able to dance and exchange with people who don't speak the same language. Obviously, the cargo on the tourist's side clearly has an overwhelming advantage in all respects, which will stimulate the motivation of the primitive tribes to learn the language.

By removing the language barrier, it is possible to employ indigenous people as labourers and improve their quality of life in a more lucrative way. Pigs are the most important commodity in the Aboriginal trade throughout New Guinea, and this animal, which has very low requirements for food and living environment, is probably the most suitable animal for captivity.

Modern farming techniques have shortened the breeding week of pigs from several years to less than half a year, which is simply magic in the eyes of the aborigines. With the magic pig, it is equivalent to having the hard currency of New Guinea. The guò was a "hard currency" that could be used to implement the policies of the New Guinea Company, which led to the gradual naturalization of the islanders.

In order to make the traffic from Singapore to New Nenea smooth, the New Guinea company submitted an application to the Dutch colony Indonesia to build a stump supply station, and soon got the tongguò, now the Dutch have learned to be obedient, there is no good fruit to eat in the confrontation, and if the trivial matter of repairing the station is not handled well, I am afraid that it will provoke the dinosaur-level warlord group, and it is better to cooperate without paying for it yourself.

The advantage of obedient cooperation is that these supply stations can also be used by the Dutch, of course, there are not many airships, which can only be regarded as a small benefit. As mentioned earlier, one of the main reasons why the Netherlands lagged behind in the early days of the industrial revolution was that it was difficult to build an efficient railway network in the terrain depression, which also became a major obstacle to its poverty alleviation in Southeast Asia, even more difficult than the development in Siberia, because they not only had complex terrain, but also hot and unbearable, and the difficulty of building railways in Southeast Asia was probably not easier than **. （http：/／.）。

This dilemma did not take a turn until the advent of "air trucks", and now, Myanmar, Laos, Siam, Khmer, Vietnam and other countries can also appear more efficient, as long as they invest in stump windmill supply stations. This is Temasek Capital's home in Singapore, so Temasek Capital is responsible for the construction of the Southeast Asian transportation network.

The Bank of Zurich is responsible for the construction of transportation arteries in Central Asian countries, including Pakistan (under the jurisdiction of India), Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and other countries.

Like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, the Windsor consortium uses irreplaceable transportation arteries to "tax" the whole of Central and Southeast Asia. Of course, the service is excellent. That's fine, you don't have to conquer them by force at all, it's too dirty and tiring.
