Chapter 725 Five Major Metropolitan Areas
Li Fushou had been planning in his heart for a long time, and after the plan stopped, he walked out of the pavilion to the rooftop, overlooking the magnificent metropolis of the Red River Valley, and praised from the bottom of his heart; So beautiful!
Under a clear blue sky
The metropolis's countless towering buildings stretch far to the end of the sky, and the elevation line is much higher than it was a few years ago, especially the dozen storey buildings on the riverside boulevard on the north bank of the Brisbane River, each with its own unique charm.
As a result, a beautiful riverside landscape has been formed, which has raised the appearance of the entire Red River Valley metropolitan area a lot, and has also become a new growth hotspot.
Compared with the old town on the south bank, the north bank has a more expansive hinterland, on which you can write the construction blueprint, the oval 100,000 people royal stadium in the distance, the spectacular imperial parliament building, the royal library, the royal theatre, the royal academy, the royal museum of natural history, and the site of the imperial university under construction are all located in the north shore area.
After the completion of the above-mentioned key construction projects, it will greatly enhance the historical and cultural precipitation of the metropolitan area, enrich the heritage of the capital, enhance the functions of the metropolitan area, and conform to the positioning of the imperial capital.
After London, the Red River Valley metropolitan area is the second city in the world to start the construction of subways, and the current planning is to build "Hui" shaped Line 1 and Line 2, which will form a closed-loop radial express subway line.
The 32.4-kilometre subway line is under construction and crosses the Brisbane River twice, with two tunnels across the Brisbane River, with an estimated investment of £1.42 million.
The project is divided into six construction faces at the same time, two of which are the underriver tunnels that cross the Brisbane River, using the mature shield method, the construction is 79 meters below the ground, and the construction period is expected to be two years and three months.
At present, the city of the Red River Valley has built three river bottom tunnels, with quite rich experience in river bottom tunnel excavation, the shield construction technology is very mature, and there is no difficulty in all aspects of technology.
Two construction faces in the old city on the south bank, with a total length of 13.7 kilometers, are excavated by the shield method, and the construction period is expected to be two years and nine months.
The two construction faces of the North Shore New Town, with a total length of 18.7 kilometers, are excavated by the shield method, and the construction period is expected to be three years and four months.
The Red River Valley metropolis has a grand subway construction plan, after the completion of the construction of Metro Line 1, will immediately start the construction of Metro Line 2, which is a total length of 57.2 kilometers of large ring line, in the future will undertake the daily transportation work of the metropolis's busy flow of people, which is of great significance.
In the long term, the Red River Valley Metropolitan Area will form a spider web subway operation system, connecting the urban areas of the Red River Valley Metropolis through ring lines and radial lines, with an amazing capacity of 200~2.5 million passengers per day.
After 20 years of rapid development, the city of the Red River Valley has become a megacity with a population of 1.39 million, ranking among the top 5 in the world, second only to London, New York, Guangzhou, and the metropolis of Beiping, and the permanent population has surpassed that of Paris, and it is not a luxury to have a total population of more than 2 million in the foreseeable decade in the next ten years.
The high density of the population has put heavy transport pressure on the metropolitan area, and today the Red River Valley, Brisbane and the surrounding cities of the Four Sacred Beasts have implemented a strict system of riding horses, which prohibits the use of horses for personal use, and only the RCMP and the Janissaries can use horses.
Urban traffic mainly consisted of automobiles, trams, public carriages, private carriages, and human-powered tricycles, and private horseback riding was strictly forbidden, nor was it allowed by the aristocracy.
In the future, the opening of subway lines will greatly alleviate the pressure of population transportation in urban areas and become one of the main ways for residents to travel.
From a long point of view
The subway line in the Red River Valley metropolitan area will be extended to Brisbane, 37 kilometers away, and eventually the two major cities will be closely linked, and will be extended to the cities of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu, so as to realize the integration of the entire metropolitan area and form a huge subway network for the benefit of more people.
Since the Red River Valley metropolitan area belongs to the crown domain, the Ministry of the Interior has set up the Royal Underground Company, which is responsible for the investment, construction, operation and maintenance of the subway network, and the Royal Underground Company is an independent operating legal person, initiated by the Royal Family Fund as the main investor, with an initial investment of 1 million pounds and occupies 23 shares.
In the future, it will absorb social funds to participate in rolling construction and development, use market means to solve the huge construction fund gap, form a virtuous circle, roll the development and construction model, and form a beautiful vision of a cobweb structure subway system in 20 years or even longer.
By the end of June 1896
The metropolitan area centered on the city of the Red River Valley brings together a population of 4.17 million, which is the top 15 of the entire Australian population, and the siphon effect of the metropolitan area is quite strong, attracting countless funds, people and resources to come together, which in turn promotes the strong development of the metropolitan area.
Throughout Australia
The Red River Valley-Brisbane metropolitan area has been formed, which is the political, economic, military, commercial, cultural, educational, and medical core of the entire Australian mainland, and the most important location of the Ocean Empire.
It has formed an industrial city cluster with Songjiang City as the core, which is a world-class center of wool husbandry and wool textile industry with developed industrial economy, highly intensive animal husbandry production, advanced facilities and high output rate.
It has formed a light industry cluster with Beilun-Sydney as the core, which has developed cultural and educational undertakings, strong business atmosphere, and prosperous foreign port trade, and is one of the important local light industry product export bases.
It has formed a gold mining industry cluster with Melbourne-Ballarat as the core, which is a world-class gold mining area and a world-class animal husbandry center, with beautiful scenery and beauty.
After the migration of millions of Chinese people, Victoria has once again become a vast world of affluence and tranquility, with tens of thousands of private ranches and plantations, more than 30% of the state's land is privately owned, and the martial arts are extremely popular, and its representative symbol is the cowboy riding a horse and a gun, which is incomparable elsewhere.
In the north of Queensland, a mineral resource city circle with Qingdao as the core is gradually forming, Linyi has the world's richest coal, and Qingdao has world-class carbonate deposits, high grade, and rich reserves.
According to the exploration findings, the region has more than half of the world's known zinc reserves, and at the same time, Tai'an is also the largest producer of cane sugar in Australia, Townsville has more than half of Australia's beef cattle and dairy cattle production, and the related leather and milk powder processing industries are quite developed.
The above five central areas, bringing together 77% of Australia's local population, more than 9 percent of the economic output, basically realized industrial industrialization, scale and intensification, is the huge economic engine of the Ocean Empire, and promotes the rapid development of the whole society.
Compared with the gloomy European region, the immigration-dominated ocean kingdom and the United States are becoming the two largest economies independent of Europe, and they are attracting more and more attention from the world.
The development of Australian society to the point where it has reached the point where it no longer needs Li Fushou's deliberate promotion, and the society has developed steadily with its own huge inertia and corrective force, and has continuously achieved gratifying results.
The crawler tractor, which originated from the demand for tanks, has now returned to its roots and conquered the city in the world agricultural machinery market, and the strong development momentum has been out of control.
Reputedly; Tracked tractors have opened up more markets around the world through two rounds of large-scale price reductions, especially in Citigroup farm applications, with orders accumulating more than 10,000 units this year and next.
Nowadays, in the farms of Australia and overseas states, the agricultural machinery represented by wheeled tractors and crawler tractors has become the main force in plantation production and is widely used and promoted.
Every time he thinks of this, Li Fushou has a feeling of joy in his heart, that is, a great sense of achievement that has influenced history is overflowing in his heart.
Suddenly, his eyes sharpened when he looked down into the distance, and he turned and walked back into the house.
Soon, Li Fushou came out of the house, holding a brass monocular in his hand, holding it up in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
There are one, two, three black dots on the horizon, which is ...... It's a hot air balloon.
Through the telescope, you can see in the distance hot air balloons depicting bright colors, drifting towards the Brisbane River at a great distance.
The balloon is about 1,000 meters in the air, and the people on it are very small, basically they can't see clearly, and they can only see the approximate direction of the hot air balloon, which should be heading towards Xuanwu City.
Li Fushou put down the telescope in his hand and thought thoughtfully;
Balloons are not a new thing, they appeared in Europe very early, and there are many hot air balloon clubs in the Ocean Kingdom, mainly some rich and idle rich children are keen on this.
The latest trend should be the glider club, whether there is Li Fushou in Australia I don't know, and I have to ask the relevant personnel of the royal secretariat in detail to know the specific situation.
He is now thinking about whether there are still five years to go before the Wright brothers' first test flight of the aircraft, so whether they can use a private aviation design competition to tempt a high prize money to promote the early launch of the aircraft.
The importance of the aviation industry Li Fushou could not be clearer, as a secluded corner of the South Pacific Australian continent, the territory of the ocean kingdom is too far away from the mainland, which is both an innate advantage and a disadvantage, and the aviation industry will greatly shorten this distance.
Li Fushou himself is not proficient in airplanes, nor does he know the principles of flight, but he knows the importance of occupying the commanding heights of science and technology, because the military application of airplanes is extremely important, and this is an advanced technology that can change the face of the world.
Professional things must be done by professional people, so he thought that more attention should be paid to the research of basic physics, which is related to the incubation of super killers.
Then again
Where are the Curies now?
