Chapter 261: Wildness

Africa was very poor for a long time, the reason for this, Downing believes that the introduction of modern production methods, but the beneficiaries are completely Western colonizers, who have no sense of belonging to Africa, and a large number of abuses of modern technology have destroyed local traditions and ecology, causing disasters to African natives, and life is not as good as in the primitive tribal era. (Starter)

Rather than allowing other colonial capital to wreak havoc in Africa, it is better to monopolize Africa's resources yourself. If nothing else, the introduction of modern fishing methods will increase the productivity of Africa's water systems several times, and hiring local natives entirely at a decent income will allow some people to enter modern civilization, of course, provided that these people are willing to learn the language of the colonial powers, and Downing's enterprises are mainly English and German.

In addition to the rainforests, Downing is now a collector of tropical lakes, and he plans to build ports in Africa's three major lakes to develop aquaculture. The three lakes are: Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa; the second largest lake in Africa, Lake Tanganyika; Lake Malawi. In fact, these three lakes are formed by the geological forces that caused the Great Rift Valley, although Lake Tanganyika is the second largest in area, it is very deep, reaching 1400 meters, and the first Lake Victoria is only 82 meters, so the water storage capacity of Lake Tanganyika ranks second in the world, second only to Lake Baikal, which Downing visited not long ago.

Many people think that the Great Rapid Valley, but in fact it is a fork, the left fork is the West Rift Valley, the right fork is the East Rift Valley, Lake Tanganyika is in the West Rift Valley, Lake Malawi is on the fork handle, and Lake Victoria is located in the middle of the forked land.

From the excavated fossils, it is known that the Great Rift Valley is likely to be the birthplace of ancient humans, and most of the creatures were wiped out along with the catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs, and the Great Rift Valley, the largest hiding place on Earth, may have provided a good shelter for mammals to survive, so it is also a refuge for the ancient ancestors of mankind.

From this point of view, it has a sacred status, and when you learn about it, you will be in awe, even though it is considered by many scientists to be a major cause of poverty in Africa, and its width of 30 to 120 kilometers deeply divides Africa, completely dividing the east and west sides of the rift valley, and preventing the means of production of advanced civilizations from being transported by sea to the depths of the continent.

The great Blue Whale airship will cross the moat with the gospel of civilization and end the curse of poverty in the Great Rift Valley. And on this black soil, Downing will experiment with "anarchism" for the first time. He will use the world's most powerful force to deter any force that attempts to create an exploitative government on the continent by force.

What he wants to see is that these fellow Terrans who have lived a primitive life are still living a free and easy life, and do not want to work mechanically like the people of the so-called civilized society? No problem. To be honest, Downing really didn't think there was any happiness in industrial society, although there was no want, but there was no freedom. He didn't want to disturb their primitive life unless the Africans themselves wanted to, and he felt that there was a unique beauty to it.

The African Development Bank is still under the banner of poverty alleviation, but no one is willing to believe Boss Tang anymore, hmph, it must be to make a lot of money, didn't you say the same thing last time in Madagascar? As a result, all kinds of economic production have taken hold, and Madagascar is now the industrial center of Africa. No one expected that Downing would use the African Development Bank to develop Africa into an anarchic continent, a continent without "modern civilization".

In order to maintain the pristine ecology of the African continent, Downing is not even ready to use electrified airships, because the wires will destroy the skyline and make the view of the African continent less pure. Instead, he built hydrogen refueling stations in the middle of the flight path, and he could build hydrogen refueling stations at sea, and even more so on the mainland.

During the reign of New Guinea, the Windsor Empire accumulated considerable experience in dealing with primitive tribes, and language communication came first. Taking simple trade as an opportunity, both sides tested each other's language skills, focusing on supporting some people with language talents to learn each other's languages, which was the first step in civilized exchanges. With a large number of black employees, Windsor Empire has a clear advantage in Africa, while others who want to go deep into the continent will face transportation problems.

Downing didn't know how anarchism would be defined, so he didn't officially declare this idea to the outside world, and the initial plan was to monopolize Africa's transportation industry first, as long as he became the door god of Africa, it would be easy to do. In addition to the blue whale airship responsible for trunk transportation, African towns also have a very strict practical problem, no matter how good the road, it will soon become yellow dust, because the climate there is hot, all kinds of mud-legged natives are running around the streets, and soon bring the mud to the road, and the rain here is scarce, so the dust is strict, which is a big problem in the construction of towns.

Fortunately, the filtration of soil is not comparable with the kind of semi-permeable membrane required for desalination, and only a very coarse filter screen can be done, which can build an artificial shallow beach for the entrance of the city, and all people, cars, and horses must pass through this shallow beach before entering the city, and wash their feet and wheels, which can greatly reduce the dust disaster. The function of the filter is to allow the muddy water of this shallow to circulate automatically, otherwise it will soon become "unfathomable" under the contamination of the mud.

The shallows are high and low, and the clear water slowly flows from the high to the low at the designed speed, and after passing through the filter screen, it becomes clear water, and the pump transports the clean water back to the high place and recirculates to ensure that the shoal is always in a relatively clean state. It only needs to be equipped with a power pumping machine, and it does not cost much resources.

In order to reduce the cost of urban development, Tang Ning personally designed an intensive urban supply system, and while building a concrete urban highway, a pipe with a diameter of half a meter was set aside in the middle of the road, and the water pipes, wires, and optical cables were all buried in the pipes, with the water pipes under and the wires and optical cables on top. Since the current highway construction is all component-type, it is only necessary to dig a circle in the middle when leveling the road surface.

I don't know when Africa will be busy, so the current road doesn't need to be too wide at all, just ensure that the two off-road vehicles on the opposite side can safely go wrong.

The aborigines of Africa like to use mud bricks to build cylindrical huts, and the roof is made of thatch, which looks like a small mushroom from a distance, which is particularly interesting, but the thatch is too easy to catch fire, and Downing decided to imitate the architectural style of the aborigines when he "entered the real estate", but slightly improved, in addition to making adobe bricks according to the local soil structure with the concept of building a sand-proof Great Wall, the thatched roof imitated by plastic has become an innovative and atmospheric and fireproof one, and it looks quite uniform, Africa's most ingenious architects could not have built such an elaborate "thatched hut".

Due to the use of factory assembly line production, these high-imitation thatched huts are not only more exquisite than the original thatched huts, but also larger and cheaper, from the perspective of the market, can kill the homes made by villagers or hired craftsmen to build in seconds. Not only that, but the "grass hut company" invested by the African Bank can also build a place for the villagers to build houses, so that they can have access to water and electricity, and modern life is close at hand.

Didn't we say that Africa should not be allowed to revert to the old path of industrialization? How...... Of course, the life of the employees of the grass house company is completely different from that of ordinary workers, it adopts a large number of casual management styles, so that employees can take their work home to do and enjoy the freedom of working from home, only the quality inspection and the final assembly process must be carried out in the factory, and it is not a rigid assembly line.

Downing has carried out drastic reforms to the time-tight assembly line, ensuring that all small work teams can work at their own pace, it doesn't matter if you do more or less, anyway, it is not a fixed wage system, you will be paid more if you do more, and you will be paid less if you do less, and this is an African factory full of primitive wildness.

The wild factory is full of joy and laughter, they are not working for the company, but like they are their own bosses, their own time is their own decision, and they want to get rich It is the ridiculous idea of the guys in Europe and the United States who have "civilization disease", in Africa, everything is for joy.

Here, it is full of a large number of free people who work for a short period of time every day and go home after earning enough living expenses, which is really envious of Europe and the United States.

If you still have to carve it, Lincoln said to the black leaders when he first met with the black American community, "Go to Central America or go back to Africa." Of course, the black leader felt insulted and unceremoniously rejected Lincoln's proposal, but ...... When Africa's unique factories were built in Downing's plan, many African brothers were attracted by this beautiful and simple way of life, triggering a wave of African American return, which is a great wonder in the history of the world.

This kind of factory is certainly not competitive in Europe, America, China, Japan and India, which are accustomed to "modern civilization", however, in Africa, the indigenous people originally lived such a casual life, the factory provided a very powerful tool, is the representative of advanced productive forces, as long as it is into the factory to do things, it is already a great progress, so this kind of loose factory efficiency is still much higher than the primitive tribe mode of production.

Even the European colonizers were "assimilated" by the Africans, and the European employees of these African factories, which were typical of the grass hut company, were also very loose, working 4 hours a day, and not commuting on time, and sometimes some hard-working Africans had to go to the factory director's house and knock on the door to call the overly drunk factory director to open the factory door.

Tang Ning did not focus on economic development at all, respecting the nature of human beings to love freedom is his starting point, one day, he saw a few black children herding cattle, they giggled, lively and cute, it is really a happy shepherd boy landscape painting. The only bad thing is that the children always have to hold the white cow to prevent it from trampling on the farmland, which affects the quality of their play.

Alas, what stupid! Look at me! Downing instantly invented the guide rail grazing method, that is, using a few wooden stakes and a long rope to restrict the walking and grazing route of the white cow, this long rope is 100 meters long, which means that for a long time, the black shepherd boys only need to put the white cow on the "guide rail", and they will naturally graze along the guide rail, and the black shepherd boys can play freely and enjoy a perfect childhood.

Don't underestimate this guide rail, it is also technical, its middle node is connected with a relatively thin line, and the moving rope sleeve is not completely closed, there is a gap, which allows it to pass through the string of the node when moving, so it can achieve "unmanned grazing" on the entire 100-meter-long route.

Well, the Black Shepherd Boys can now go to school while grazing, and the learning material is, of course, a teaching film of voice slide technology. Boss Tang also personally made a cameo appearance as an African rural teacher to teach the dolls to learn. The scene was filmed by an accompanying assistant and sold to The Times for a high price. The Times quoted assistant Yuan Boss Tang as saying: Maybe the human way of life will return to the original point after a long circle, like a child grazing in Africa, free and uninhibited.

This was originally Downing's solution for children to play, but Downing's god-like appeal inspired many herders were really ready to adopt this grazing method in large numbers, which can prescribe grazing routes for livestock, which is very useful for efficient management.

Africa is rich in sisal, which is a good material for making rope, and grazing rope has become a major industry in Africa, exported to grazing countries all over the world. The wooden pole of the guide rail rope used to talk about animal husbandry is connected to an iron wheel with a certain weight, as long as the wheel is pushed to the destination and locked, it is difficult for the livestock to drag, and even the effort of piling is saved. It can stretch for several kilometers, and a guide rail is tied to cattle and sheep ropes of different lengths, and they can only honestly follow the prescribed route, greatly reducing the work of cowboys and herding dogs.

The products made by Dashen are not different, not only original, but also in terms of firm and smooth process, positioning ability, and mobile ability, all of which are made by engineers to do a lot of practical work to get the best solution, compared with the cottage factory is a big grade higher, and even the quality of the rope is better than others, so it can be popular among herdsmen all over the world.

Downing still prefers hunting to grazing, and it is clear that the latter is more wild and interesting. In order to manage the hunting industry in the African savannah, the policy committee will issue "hunting licenses" to train hunters not to hunt rare wild animals, not to hunt young animals, and to have a maximum number of animals per season to avoid flooding. Only those who have obtained a hunting licence are eligible to purchase crossbows sold by the African Hunting Company, which is invested by the African Bank. It was the kind that Downing invented for hunting in New Guinea with a range of 150 meters, a scope, and ten magazines for arrows.

The arrows of African tribal hunters are quite backward, and they can often hit their prey within a few tens of meters, but it is difficult to take them down. Therefore, they often have to collect the juice of poisonous plants to make venom to apply to the arrowheads, which is a dangerous job, and you see them wiping their bare fingers on the sharp arrows, and it is really sweating for them.

Moreover, the prey that is shot is not bloody, they can still run for a long distance, and even the hard-pressed hunter will have to run for hours. The poisoned prey obviously has to cut off a large piece of meat, in fact, in a few hours, the poison has already spread to the whole body with the blood, and the hunters have eaten a little venom, and it is normal to be uncomfortable.

With the Down's Crossbow, you can directly take down small and medium-sized herbivores, and the aluminum alloy arrows can be reused many times, I don't know how much effort and cost are saved! Moreover, the prey caught can be sold to the purchasing department of the supermarket at a high price, and in the settlements of the Human Footprint Company, the meat price of these wild animals is several times higher than that of ordinary livestock, and the hunter can almost exchange one for three for four, which greatly improves the standard of living, which is the benefit of efficient logistics.

Ostensibly, there is no taxation in the "anarchist areas" outside of South Africa, Ivory Coast and the Gold Coast, but the African Development Bank imposes indirect and invisible taxes on the monopoly of productive goods, and the indigenous people do not reject it. The colonists did not dare to have any objection to the monopoly of the African Development Bank, who dared to wrestle with Windsor imperialism, even the Brazilian Empire was beaten down because of disobedience, and it was better to do legitimate business together under the leadership of the underworld boss.

The French habitually denigrated Downing as the "governor of Africa" and did not cooperate with the policy of the governor, but most of their colonies were in North Africa, and Downing's current focus was on sub-Saharan black Africa, and he did not bother to pay attention to them.
