Chapter 242 Jamaica
Downing created ant breeding industry for Brazil, which refreshed the world. This is another classic work of airship application. Because this innovative poverty alleviation has left a deep impression on people, Queen Victoria thought of him the first time she encountered poverty alleviation problems. The Queen sent a telegram to Downing: "I recently received a call from a Jamaican, saying that Jamaica is experiencing a severe drought, the sugarcane industry is affected, and the locals are living in a difficult situation. I wonder if you can help Jamaica think of ways to get out of the predicament? Ant breeding seems to be used in the tropical rainforests of Jamaica!"
Downing was still asking his assistant to collect information about Jamaica, but things went so quickly. Not only did the British colony Jamaica have a serious disaster, but a black riot also occurred. The Jamaican Governor was even worried that this riot would be out of control like Haiti and Dominican in Spain, so that the two places would be independent, and immediately launched a bloody suppression.
The scene in Jamaica is another example of the fact that black slaves continue to be unsecured after the liberation of liberation. Among the more than 400,000 people in the local population, black people are 32 times that of white people, but no more than 2,000 people have the right to vote. Once the economic crisis comes, these nominally free but bear the head tax will immediately live a life worse than pigs and dogs, and may even be worse than being slaves. The slaves of Downing's Caucasian slave trading company usually eat meat, which is simply a "high welfare" community. As subjects of the British colony, the well-informed Jamaican blacks are envious of this.
Soon these easily contented guys don’t have to envy slave life, because since Her Majesty the Queen spoke, the nosy Downing has decided to take care of Jamaica. He spent a long time thinking about an alternative way to get rich, an industry that is even more alternative than ant longline fishing. For some reason, Jamaicans seem to be very enthusiastic about sports in later generations. Their performance in track and field is impressive, which gave Downing some inspiration.
Haha, the Tang, who is so happy about the great achievements, either does not do it or does the biggest one. He wants to hold the first modern Olympic Games. The ancient Olympic Games originated in Athens, Greece, but it has long been lost. Once the Olympic Games are successful, they will make earth-shaking changes. If the Olympic Games are held reasonably, they will receive huge commercial sponsorship and greatly improve the local infrastructure. It will even affect the economy of the world's first-class metropolis. For places like Jamaica, of course the entire island will be affected. Jamaica will be remembered by history as the first place to host the modern Olympic Games, and this has a huge impact on the local tourism industry.
When Downing solicited competition events and rules for the Olympics in BBC and Telegraph, the whole world thought that the president of the federal government wanted to raise morale for Germany. Even Queen Victoria, the initiator, never expected that he would arrange the host city to Jamaica.
Subsequently, Downing began to invite countries to establish national Olympic committees. If the budget is insufficient, the National Olympic Committee can invite local Windsor Consortium companies to sponsor. In fact, the Windsor Consortium will sponsor local athletes to participate in the competition in various countries. A vigorous Olympic qualifier was launched under the promotion of the Windsor Consortium, and even France and Russia were invited. Moreover, in order to show that this is an international event, we must try our best to fool these two most unfavorable countries into participating.
For this reason, Downing quickly pushed Queen Victoria to the front desk, saying that this was for the purpose of the UK to hold the first Olympic Games. The location was not London, but Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. After everyone learned what kind of city Kingston was, they all sweared and the queen all sweared together.
However, with the help of the Windsor Consortium, Antarctica may be held successfully. Anyway, there is no need to pay for it. Governments from all over the country have set up decent Olympic committees. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add personal will to the Olympics. Tangning personally selected 16 competition events.
Track and field are of course the first to be hit, this is the oldest project and is also tailor-made for Jamaica.
Gymnastics and track and field show speed, endurance, explosive power, and gymnastics is the flexibility and balance of human beings. It is very ornamental when it is used to the extreme.
There is nothing to say about weightlifting. The hard indicators of the Hercules.
Wushu. Haha. Tang Ning likes to watch flirting and embroidered skills. He expressed doubts about the practicality of Chinese martial arts, but there is no doubt that the viewing of Chinese Kung Fu is world-class. Otherwise, how could there be so many kung fu movies? The martial arts competitions are mainly performative and free fighting.
Wrestling. The game of the Mongols, the king of the nomad nation, has a unique beauty that doesn't seem to hurt the body.
Swimming. Track and field in the water.
Next is the transportation series:
Equestrian. The most reliable means of transportation for ancient humans, and the friends of heroes.
Bicycles help humans to dig into their minds to improve the performance of bicycles.
The reasons are the same as above. They are divided into motorcycles and four-wheelers, and four-wheelers are divided into speed and endurance.
Sailing boat. Ancient water transportation, sweet and bitter memories of the Age of Discovery.
Rowing. Develop human ability to build water transportation. All competitions involving fuel cell technology are provided by General Dynamics, and the appearance is transformed by athletes themselves.
Next is the War Art Series:
Archery. Hero's friends.
Shooting. Extension of modern war art.
The only ball sport: football.
Finally, there are two comprehensive projects:
Triathlon (swimming, cycling and short marathon).
Five stages (heavy sword, shooting, 200-meter freestyle swimming, equestrianism, 3-kilometer cross-country running).
These 16 events are sponsored by the Tangning Association, so there must be any participating countries. As for other sports events, they will vote after the Olympic Committees of various countries are established. You can notice that there are so many water and land sports are remote, which requires the hosting place to build corresponding water and land transportation facilities, which will greatly improve the transportation hardware of the hosting city.
Some people are worried that even if the stadium is built in Jamaica, it will not be able to solve the food, accommodation and transportation problems of so many athletes and tourists. In this regard, Downing said in the Telegraph that Jamaica will build a large number of tourism facilities, and by then, a large number of airships and travel goods around the world will gather in Jamaica. These transportation means themselves are hotels, so it will greatly alleviate the accommodation problem. Finally, Downing has the killer recyclable buildings to deal with this global event.
In order to fully implement this principle, even the main venue is built with this idea. It will be the world's first large venue with membrane structure and inflatable type. The membrane structure of the membrane is stronger than you imagined. It does not mean that recyclable buildings must be temporary, but can also be permanent. The basic material of the membrane is glass fiber. Just think about the hardness of the glass, and you can feel how strong the membrane woven by it is. In order to prevent fire and waterproof, it also needs to be wrapped with a layer of polyvinyl chloride. Why is the chlorine-containing material refractory? It has been explained before.
The inflatable "columns" are not one by one, but a hexagon that simulates the honeycomb. It is hollow mesh, very beautiful, with a lace-like texture. All stands are composed of solid artificial wood with a mortise structure. They are tough and easy to produce in factory and can be removed. To take a step back, if the main stadium has no subsequent vitality after the Olympics in the future, it can be removed and transported to another place.
In addition to these two soft building materials, the backbone of the building is to use super-strong steel cables to resist the invasion of typhoons. Jamaica is located in the hurricane belt, which is a necessary requirement for good design. Kingston is located in the tropical zone, and it exceeds 30 degrees during high temperatures all year round, similar to Singapore. Downing wants to design the world's largest central air conditioner for the main venue. Because of its huge power consumption, the city's power grid must be improved, otherwise it will not be able to hold on.
Beyond the main venue is an accommodation solution with the theme of "infinity". As the name suggests, Tangning will purchase a huge tract of land for tourists to live in, and adopt a variety of factory prefabricated construction methods. As long as tourists book, the "infinite hotel" can provide rooms and beds.
Jamaica is the closest island to the Panama Canal among the Caribbean islands, and the Windsor Consortium has a pretty good industrial foundation in Panama City, so it supports Jamaica with various human and industrial equipment nearby. The cheapest accommodation solution is camping tents. The organizer provides special venues for tourists to set up tents, and there are special patrols at night to ensure safety. Due to the huge venue, the tents can be kept at enough distance to keep both your and your partner’s eyes protected.
Then there is the wooden egg-shaped tree house designed by Japanese designers. It is perfectly integrated in the forest and people live in it, as if they have lived there all the time.
More advanced is the water wooden house designed by Venetian designers. It has spacious aisles to "go home" from the shore, or a two-story villa, which allows middle-class people who like the lake view but are more economically affluent to see the hunting. During the day, this cottage is the best place to observe animals. From here, you can see frogs in the water, swimming fish and wild deer in the forest. At night, the second floor provides a comfortable sleeping place. When the weather is good, you can look up at the sky and stare at the stars.
These are the three most typical accommodations for unlimited tourists. All plans are equipped with water and electricity. If it is a tent, there is tap water supply not far away. The hydrogen refueling station is next to the tap water. Small fuel cells can provide electricity to the tent, and you can connect to the telegraph machine if you have electricity. There are special staff to deliver meals and collect garbage. The emerging Kingston furniture and construction factory can ensure that you can choose the location within three days of your booking house and build the house for tourists to move in. The density of the residence is controlled by the nearest neighbor thirty meters away.
Downing will invest in an island-round suspension balloon for Jamaica. This will be the first suspension balloon for sightseeing purposes. It is built very high to watch the racing, horse racing and car racing on the hanging balloons.
In fact, from the day the Telegraph announced that the Windsor consortium would sponsor the Jamaica Olympics, the island's economy immediately improved because a large number of Windsor-based companies from all over the world came to inspect. So many wealthy companies came to the island at once. Can it not be ignited? The boss has not done anything that has not been done yet, and its employees are waiting for another economic miracle to be born.
