Chapter 240 Treehouse

The Brazilians have a character that they have no tomorrow. After being colonized by the Vale Company, they seemed to adapt very quickly. Many Brazilians even thought that their brave emperor had died in battle, but they didn't know that Pedro II was still fighting tenaciously. Of course, the colonial government did not make every effort to search for him, just like Sushun, Senggelinqin and Duanhua brothers were unknown, and they were not taken seriously. Tang Ning was confident that under his own management, the people would gradually recognize the government, whether it was the Qing Dynasty or Brazil. If Pedro was not bitten to death by the poisonous snake in the Brazilian jungle, he would be lucky.

Tangning is well aware of Brazil's abundant minerals and ranks among the top in the world, so he sent out an exploration team early in the morning. In addition, he also had to plan for the most important things. This time, the Amazon Forestry Commission has completely controlled the lungs of the earth. He used to spend a lot of effort to give their countries huge interest-free loans to some small rainforests in small countries. After obtaining some of the rainforests in Brazil, he had to take them to heart.

Brazil's national name comes from Brazilian mahogany. It was the most valuable commodity when Portuguese explorers first discovered the Brazilian mainland. It has long been Brazil's economic pillar and the only source of red dye in the early 16th century. For more than two hundred years, tens of millions of Brazilian mahogany have been cut down uncontrollably and have now become a minority among trees. The committee's first policy is to protect Brazilian mahogany, gradually reducing the cutting of wild Brazilian mahogany within 10 years, and artificial mahogany forests.

The policy of planting one tree to live for other tree species is implemented. This is a regulation on the ordinary logging industry, but there is a method of cutting down that does not have to be restricted by such regulations. Forests have a characteristic that when trees in a place are too concentrated, it will affect the further prosperity of the forest, which is a bit like the Malthus trap in the plant world. This is easy to understand, because the sun is limited. So it does not mean that the primeval forest is the best protection. If it is even spontaneously burned in a dry forest when the trees are lush to the extreme, it will even burn.

It is natural to introduce another theory of using forests to sort out forests. It means logging in the deep forests, making room for new trees to grow, and changing them again every once in a while. Since the cut down cliffs of the forest will naturally regenerate, this is a natural and easy way to log. The only thing that needs to be solved is the inconvenient traffic problem deep in the forests.

This problem was impossible to solve in the past, but now it is easy to deal with with airships. Planning the energy problem of logging farms like the Siberian Grand Mai Plan will greatly reduce the cost of this logging method, which is the key to success.

The regular way of building a windmill and building a mini fortress every 50 kilometers of Siberian artery is definitely not suitable for the design of logging points. The choice of logging points depends on the denseness of the forest. Downing decided to build a temporary logging yard every distance deep in the dense forest, and concentrate all the wood obtained from combing the nearby jungle in the temporary logging yard, where necessary processing is done, sort out the branches and leaves of the wood, cut the length, and gather a container to summon the "air truck" to pick it up.

There are some tree house tribes in the Amazon jungle that live on trees up to dozens of meters high. Don’t be frightened when you see their three-year-old children running around on tree houses over dozens of meters high without any protection. Isn’t this the case with our ape ancestors? These tree house tribes have just inherited the lifestyle of their ancestors.

They live in trees to avoid being harassed by insects, beasts, poisonous snakes and mosquitoes near the ground. Tangning decided to design a new "tree house" for the workers of the logging farm to live in. For temporary residences, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. First choose a thick and tall tree, cut down its surrounding trees, and then repair its own branches and leaves. A special sleeve with rotating blade from top to bottom can complete this great task in a few minutes. Cleaning up branches and leaves is a very cumbersome process in the logging process, so the design of this sleeve is not optional. Its pruning radius may be automatically adjusted according to the size of the tree trunk. The smoothness of the final product will surprise you.

The pruned trees are like a windmill stake gifted by nature. They can save a lot of money. For temporary reasons, you can save as much as possible. Otherwise, why do you need to build a tree house? For balance, an H-shaped windmill is also used here. The leaves are connected to the main body of the tree house. Its leaves are like a big hat with windmill blades worn on the stump, with the brim raised up to collect water. In the Amazon rainforest, there are many rains every day, so there is no need to worry about the water problem.

The hat is the living space. It is like a large bird cage in the sky, and it is also a double-layered layer. The lower floor is 25 square meters, the upper floor is 15 square meters, and the temporary logging yard team composed of three or five people is stress-free. Its upper floor can be bathed, and the bath water can be used to flush the toilet. The wastewater in the toilet is naturally treated with plastic pipes from high altitude to dozens of meters away in the dense forest.

Sewage cannot be poured directly under the tree house, and they still have to go down to work. This magical bird nest can actually carry an elevator. It is a bearing with a 100-meter-long soft ladder. The motor can carry people up and down. This technology is often used on helicopters, and the owner of the tree house also enjoys this kind of fun of up and down.

The windmill tree house not only provides electricity to loggers, but also uses excess electricity to produce hydrogen to become a small supply station for airships. A large windmill decomposes water day and night, and its power is not small.

Tangning had long been developing airship cranes, but lifting a large pile of wood can weigh dozens of tons. The machinery for roughing the wood is also this scale, making his original beluga-class crane not enough. Tangning has used four helicopter-class rotors to increase the weight of the airship crane to 15 tons. What should I do if it is not enough? Simply increasing the size of the airship will affect flexibility, not his style. One day, he had a sudden idea and came up with the "Pisces Crane" plan to combine two beluga-class cranes in the air! When encountering the lifting needs of abnormal grades, it can even be three-in-one and four-in-one. It should be enough?

In this way, the problem of super-high load-bearing of cranes was quickly solved. After this "sparse forest plan", the new woodworking factory was like earthworms flying in the air, while obtaining high-quality wood while making the forest healthier, strong and fresh. All temporary logging farms must keep records in order to calculate the speed of forest recovery and accumulate experience for future mining work. At that time, the tree houses must be removed and replaced with pure supply stations that only produce hydrogen and water storage.

The abandoned logging farm can be regarded as a tourist at the Global Natural Wonders Travel Agency before the forest responds. It is a pleasure to see the earth's lungs in the air, but if you can fall on the ground and breathe the unique air in the most biodiversity place in the world, wouldn't it be a pleasure? Living in a tree house with birds, reptiles, and monkeys, listening to those refreshing chirpings, it makes people feel that they are truly embraced by nature.

Before accumulating enough experience in dense forest logging, the investment was very large. Only a strange organization like Vale would adopt such technology. What is even more jealous is that wood products giants such as ikea, Japanese Monopoly Construction Company were allocated by Downing to purchase quotas for this wood, which stabilizes its sales and at least protects its capital. Metro even implemented the regulations that countries with one planting and one policy to purchase large quantities of their wood products. It was rated by the Telegraph as the most important environmental protection enterprise and a model citizen of the earth in the world.

Stump windmills are also very suitable for places such as Baltics and New Guinea. Raising wire rods in the primeval forest is too indecent, and building a tall tree to serve as a supply station for air trucks can solve the energy problem of airship transportation. Although the efficiency is not as good as that of the Siberian artery, it has reached the level of energy self-sufficiency.

Tangning's new energy policy always puts oil in a secondary position. Human society seems to be unable to feel the arrival of the oil era. It seems that oil is only used as chemical raw materials, not important energy.

In fact, Downing likes New Guinea over Amazon rainforests because New Guinea is safer. You think that birds of paradise can evolve the habit of dancing safely on the ground. There are no poisonous snakes, beasts, or even large mammals, which are very suitable for humans to get close to nature. Such a unique primeval forest is not used to develop tourism, which is really a waste of resources.

In the dangerous Amazon rainforest, it is almost impossible to hike between dozens of kilometers between two tree houses, and it is possible in New Guinea. Therefore, in addition to copying the logging industry of the Amazon rainforest, traveling in zero-distance contact with the original forest can become a tourist selling point.

There are many primitive tribes in New Guinea that are blocked by mountains and rivers and have never contacted the outside world. For these people, Tangning does not recommend rashly disrupting their lives. However, the thousands of tribes that already have mountain roads connected, the most important thing to help them is to solve the problem of language barriers.

When interacting with strange tribes, human experts said it is best to use a fair trade method that appears to be beneficial to both sides. Obviously, these tribes cannot recognize gold as hard currency and can only "trade" by bartering.

Trade can also become a tourism project. Just think about how interesting it is to be able to exchange with ethnic groups that do not understand language. Obviously, the goods on tourists obviously have overwhelming advantages in all aspects, which will stimulate the motivation of people from the primitive tribes to learn languages.

Only by eliminating the language barriers can it be possible to hire Aboriginals as laborers and improve their quality of life in a more refined way. Pigs are the most important commodity in the Aboriginal transactions throughout New Guinea. This kind of livestock with extremely low requirements for food and living environment may be the most suitable animals for captivity.

Modern breeding technology shortens the pig's breeding week to less than half a year, which is simply magic to the indigenous people. With magic pigs, it is equivalent to having a hard currency in New Guinea. This "hard currency" can be used to implement various policies of New Guinea companies, so that islanders can gradually become naturalized.

In order to make the transportation from Singapore to New Neneia smooth, the New Guinea company submitted an application to the Dutch colony Indonesia to build a tree stump supply station, which was approved soon. Now that the Dutch have learned their lesson, there is no good result in confrontation. If the small matter of repairing the supply station is not handled well, it may cause dinosaur-level warlord groups to be annoyed. It is better to cooperate if it doesn't have to pay for it yourself.

The advantage of cooperation is that these supply stations can be used by the Dutch. Of course, they don’t have many airships, which can only be regarded as a small benefit. As mentioned earlier, one of the major reasons why the Netherlands lags behind in the early days of the Industrial Revolution was that it was difficult to build an efficient railway network in the terrain. This also became a major obstacle to its poverty alleviation in Southeast Asia, and it was even more difficult than developing in Siberia, because they not only had a complex terrain, but also unbearable heat. It is probably not easier to build a railway in Southeast Asia than Tibet.

This dilemma did not turn around until the emergence of "air trucks". Now, countries such as Myanmar, Laos, Siam, Khmer, Vietnam can also have relatively efficient traffic. As long as you invest in a tree stump windmill supply station, it will be possible. This is the territory of Singapore Tet Masek Capital, so the construction of Southeast Asia transportation network is under the responsibility of Temasek Capital.

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