According to the statistics of October 1888;

The traditional heavy industry city of Baihu ranks 6th in the city ranking with 427,500 people, which is an old scalper who does not compete for development strength, neither as dazzling as Songjiang City and Beilun City, nor as beautiful and unique as Suzaku City and Qinglong City.

The industrial pillars of Baihu City are steel manufacturing, coking coal industry, machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, coal mine, coal mining and coal chemical industry, after the development of Koi copper and gold mines, and copper treatment and copper products manufacturing industry has been added, and it is the location of the Australian United Coin Factory, after more than ten years of development, introduction and absorption, the heavy industry base is quite developed.

For a long time, Baihu City has been walking very steadily step by step, silently building the steel backbone of heavy industry.

Unconsciously, people were surprised to find that White Tiger City has surpassed the traditional southern metropolis of Melbourne, in terms of economic output, per capita income, population and city size and other aspects of the overall surpass, which is a victory of industrialization, compared with Melbourne, which only relies on gold mining industry, White Tiger City has a more balanced development and goes more stable.

In seventh place is Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, with a total population of 387,600, a metropolis that used to fascinate Australians, slowly ending in just a dozen years, unable to keep up with the pace of development of the times, and has been replaced by a group of dazzling northern cities.

In eighth place is Qinglong City, one of the four god beast cities, with a total population of 361,900, it is a beautiful city known for its beautiful environment and pleasant scenery, located on the banks of the Songjiang Reservoir surrounded by mountains, and is famous for its education and food processing industry.

The Earl of Queensland has invested heavily in the development of the Eagle School, from Eagle No. 1 Middle School to Eagle No. 37 Middle School, all of which are located in Qinglong City, with more than 210,000 students, and many of the Eagle Schools with strong teachers have opened a three-year junior high school to accept teenagers under the age of 12 from the mainland to provide continuous power for cultivating talents.

The famous Qinglong Campus of Red River Valley University is the largest comprehensive university campus in Australia, after several rounds of expanded enrollment, the number of students has reached more than 11,000, and thousands of senior intellectuals are graduated every year.

In a series of major engineering research and development projects related to international people's livelihood, such as "Miss Australia Artillery Project", "Complete Cashmere Textile Equipment", "Series of Small and Medium-sized New Diesel Engine Project", "Crown Automobile", "Tieniu Tractor R&D and Production", "Goodyear Rubber Tire Science and Technology Research", "20,000 Tons of Free Wheel", "High-power AC Transmission and Substation", "Songjiang Reservoir", "Process Improvement of Wool Combing Production Equipment", "Brisbane River Rail Electrification Project", etc., outstanding graduates from the University of the Red River Valley can be seen everywhere.

They may not be able to lead a major scientific research and development, but as a scientific research assistant who absorbs knowledge like a sponge, assistant engineers are still very qualified.

These young students cherish the opportunity to participate in major scientific and technological research projects, and in the research and development and later improvement of the project, the scientific research ability has grown rapidly, and many outstanding Chinese scientific researchers have been able to take charge of a subdivision of the topic alone.

Over time, these young scientific research workers will be able to take on the burden of Queensland's scientific and technological development when they grow up.

In order to reward young scientific researchers, Red Fort has set up the "Feitian Award", which is specially awarded for outstanding achievements in scientific and technological research and development, and is awarded once a year, respectively, with "Feitian Gold Award", "Feitian Silver Award", "Feitian Bronze Award" and "Feitian Excellence Award", which are awarded to young and middle-aged scientific and technological personnel under the age of 40, so as to stimulate the growth of young scientific and technological personnel.

In 1888, the "Feitian Gold Medal" was awarded to Wu Fusheng's scientific research team who independently undertook the two-speed transmission in the development of the "Tieniu brand heavy-duty 4-wheel tractor project", which was a pioneering and important invention, and then widely used in the 350 Tieniu brand tractor and Crown brand automobile product line, and won many praises.

Wu Fusheng won a single house in Qinglong City, and the team won a high prize of 3,000 pounds for encouragement.

Wu Fusheng, a young assistant engineer, was hired as an associate professor at Red River Valley University and promoted to engineer to preside over a special transmission research laboratory, and the main scientific research direction is the follow-up research and development of box-type transmission assembly.

The Earl has always attached great importance to talents, which has created a good scientific research atmosphere in Queensland, and for every outstanding scientific research talent, the Red Fort will provide sufficient development space to help them grow.

In 1884, the city reached a population of 271,000, and four years later it grew to 361,900, which is not a high speed in the development boom of Queensland's sister cities.

However, considering that Qinglong City is a garden city with a rich cultural atmosphere based on education and scientific research, absorbing high-quality residents, and has many experts and professors from Germany, Britain, France, Italy, the United States and other countries, and the education level is the best in Australia, and then looking back at the development of Qinglong City is not slow.

At present, the Qinglong Institute of Technology, which is under construction, has entered the final stage, and the Anglican Medical College is also building a campus, which is expected to officially enroll students next year.

With a steady pace of development, Qinglong City further threatens Melbourne's status as a city, and is expected to catch up and surpass Melbourne at some point next year, squeezing it down one place in the city rankings again.

In the ranking of Australia's 10 major cities, the 9th place is the rapid rise of Qingdao City in the north of Queensland, after the wool spinning 15 factory settled in the place, followed by phosphate food additives factory, thermal power station and coal preparation plant, Qingdao port wharf and other large-scale construction projects one after another, helping Qingdao soaring.

In the four consecutive years of immigration, Qingdao City was the fastest to inflate like a balloon, ranking ninth with 328,700 people in October 1888, becoming the leading town in northern Queensland.

Qingdao (formerly the Rockhampton area) is uniquely positioned on the banks of the Fitzroy River, an important delta for river-sea transportation, and geographically similar to Shangri-La's Tianshu City.

The Fitzroy River is a watery river that originates at the northern end of the Great Dividing Range, with a 3,000-ton waterway that can pass for 10 months a year, all the way to the hinterland of the coal-rich town of Linyi, with a total length of 266 kilometers, although not long but deep enough, providing a prerequisite for the development of inland waterway navigation.

Qingdao is located at the mouth of the lower reaches of the river and is a transshipment seaport for the region's high-quality coal exports.

It has excellent deep-water port conditions, the wharf can pass more than 50,000 tons of ships without barriers, the high-quality coal used by the Queensland fleet is all from the region, and the high-quality raw coal from the coking coal base in Songjiang City also comes from the region.

Coal is the first major category of Qingdao exports, plus the second largest industry beef cattle breeding, and relying on beef cattle resources to develop the leather manufacturing industry, including cowhide bags, leather shoes, belts, saddles, carriage rigging, etc., providing a large number of employment opportunities.

The pastures around Qingdao are the best beef cattle breeding areas, and the beef cattle produced here are cheap and good, accounting for almost half of the production of all Australia, and a large number of ships transporting beef cattle sail to various places every month.

In addition, the surrounding towns have the world's largest phosphate, and the food additive industry developed from this has become the third pillar of Qingdao's development.

Besides

The 15th Woolen Spinning Factory established in Qingdao City buys wool from nearby pastoral areas and vast pastoral areas 600~700 kilometers away in the north.

Woolen mills are typical labor-intensive industries that urgently need a large number of laborers, all of which laid the foundation for Qingdao's take-off and became its fourth industrial pillar.

In the development boom of northern Queensland, Qingdao is undoubtedly the most beneficial place, and it is not enough to describe it with each passing day, almost repeating the scene of Songjiang City's take-off.

Located in the 10th place is Gusu City in the south, with a population of 288,500 people, which is an agricultural city based on agricultural production, supplemented by food processing industry, with many rivers and developed water systems in the region, it is the largest rice producing area in Australia, and produces a rich variety of fruits and vegetables, especially famous for grain wine and winemaking.

In addition to rice and soybeans, there are also apples, grapes, pears, apricots, watermelons and other fruits and vegetables, which can be said to be the grain bank of Queensland.

Half of the agricultural products needed by the whole Queensland are supplied by Gusu City, and the remaining half comes from the Shangri-La Qixing City (upgraded from the town) area, which can be said to be the grain bag and vegetable basket of the whole Queensland.

Throughout the list of Australia's top 10 cities, people were surprised to find that the famous city of Sydney was not included in it.

Statistics released in October 1888 show that this once important metropolis in Australia has been reduced to a spectator, abandoned in the wave of the development of the second industrial revolution, and has become an unpopular role.

This stark contrast strongly stimulates the white population of New South Wales, who are the most empathetic social group.

The mixture of frustration, envy, reluctance and inexplicable anger, with all guns turned on the far-right conservative ruling party, and public opinion was scolded, leaving the current governor, Ben Stevens, in a difficult position, with no hope of running for re-election.

The Queensland World Journal was the first to drag former Premier Morgan McCrowrie out and whip his body, accusing the current state government of being a poison behind its conservative policies.

Governor Ben Stevens has an in-law relationship with him, and the former Governor Morgan McClaurie is suspected of improper campaigning, secretly plotting to squeeze out the then acting Governor Cromwell, using the political resources of the former governor to unite with the forces of the Zhi Gong Party, and finally defeated the election opponent to come to power, and then treacherously excluded the Zhi Gong Party, which is an out-and-out despicable political opportunist.
