Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 67 A Different Australia
Bai Mingxiu rode a very handsome Andalusian horse, walking like a leisurely stroll on the plain west of Xitian Mansion.Her Miss Jianniang also followed him on a white horse.

Looking at the refreshing scenery in front of him, Bai Mingxiu was still full of joy. After all, this land already belongs to the Chinese, and the descendants of Yan and Huang will live and thrive in this land to build a better civilization.

Bai Mingxiu sighed: "I really didn't expect that this Australia is actually different from the Australia I imagined."

Only Sister Lion could understand what Bai Mingxiu said.

Two days ago, the geological department of Xitian Mansion provided Bai Mingxiu with a piece of geographical information about the Australian territory. After watching it, Bai Mingxiu was almost dumbfounded.

The outline of the Australian continent was exactly the same as in his impression, and he had already confirmed this when he sailed over.However, there are some things that are completely different from the Australia in his impression, such as the terrain.

The Australian continent is not a continent with particularly good natural conditions. Because the continent itself is not large enough, the land-sea effect is not strong, and it is under the control of subtropical high pressure, so it is very arid.The Great Dividing Range stands on the east coast, which also affects the penetration of some humid air.

But now the Australian continent where Bai Mingxiu is located has not changed in latitude or outline, but the entire terrain has undergone earth-shaking changes.The Great Dividing Range did not appear in the east, but appeared in the northwest of the Australian mainland, and even the seaside was even taller.The central and eastern parts of the Australian continent have lower elevations, with vast plains and hills in the eastern part, and large basins in the central part, which are high-quality pastures.The area of ​​the desert is two-thirds smaller than the Australian continent in Bai Mingxiu's impression, and they are all concentrated on the other side of the Western Great Dividing Range.

Although in this territory, the precipitation in most parts of the Australian continent is still not as abundant as the East Asian continent or the North American continent, at least this amount of precipitation can maintain a large area of ​​tropical and subtropical grassland climate in the inland area and form a large area of ​​high-quality pasture.

Moreover, the eastern, southern, and southwestern parts of Australia are large plains, which can become very good agricultural belts.

After Bai Mingxiu knew about this situation, he asked the system specifically, but the system only gave an explanation for the difference in the parallel planes, and didn't say anything else. Bai Mingxiu himself was at a loss and couldn't figure it out.

"This is not just the foundation of a simple king and hegemony. This continent of Australia has a chance to give birth to a superpower." Bai Mingxiu quickly made such a judgment.

The Australian continent has a large amount of plains and grasslands available for development. According to Bai Mingxiu's estimation, it is not a problem to be able to support a population of [-] to [-] million. With a higher population density, it can even afford a population of [-] million people like China on another plane. Hundreds of millions of people.Planting and animal husbandry can be developed here, and it is not a problem for ordinary people to eat. Coupled with rich mineral resources, it can almost be said to be unique.

"It's a pity. At least until now, this continent can only be regarded as the back garden of us Chinese, a reserve living space. My focus is still on the mainland."

It is true that Australia can give birth to a superpower, but on the East Asian continent, the homeland of the Chinese people, it is also a place where a superpower can be born.

It's not too far away from Bai Mingxiu, it's the Great Ming Fuguo Army in the exercise.

In order to carry out the Northern Expedition, Bai Mingxiu used the human resources of Xitian Mansion to form three mixed regiments. The population of Xitian Mansion itself is sparse, with only about [-] people. Bai Mingxiu's preparation of three regiments is already very overdrawn for the local population. Manpower is gone.Since the population in Xitian Mansion is still responsible for important production tasks, Bai Mingxiu is not willing to easily let these high-quality labor force go to the battlefield. The occasions where they play their greatest role are in factories and other production and engineering institutions.

The artillery battalion of the 102nd Regiment was practicing their shooting skills, and Bai Mingxiu was observing their drill from a distance.The training of Australia's three mixed regiments is very large, and it is a scenario-based and arranged real-arms and live-fire exercise.Bai Mingxiu hopes to bring confrontation and authenticity to the military from this era.Even though these troops have only been formed for a month or two, they have not completed recruit training at all.

Logistics Minister Zhang Xianyu said to Bai Mingxiu: "The Guli fighters we recruited from the 102nd and 103rd regiments were less educated than ordinary Han fighters, so we selected those who could read, write and count. High-level soldiers joined the artillery, after all, artillery is also a technical arm. In the first few weeks, they mainly trained on Napoleon guns. Now we directly replace them with Type 16 75mm and 105mm field guns, and they have to pick them up again. .”

Smoothbore guns and breech-loading rifled guns are completely from two eras. Of course, some technologies are common. After all, recruits also accepted some basic knowledge of artillery during this period.

Bai Mingxiu observed the target on the high ground. The artillery battalion's eighteen 105mm Armstrong cannons fired continuously. The impact points of the shelling were still relatively large. Bai Mingxiu shook his head. He couldn't say he was dissatisfied. He could only express his dissatisfaction with the situation. It was expected.

Zhang Xianyu said: "The situation in the 101st Regiment is better. After all, most of the 101st Regiment is trained veterans. Except for a few officers sent by His Royal Highness, all the Guli soldiers in the 102nd Regiment and 103rd Regiment were trained from scratch. The new recruits are not even very clear about such big concepts as the army and war."

Bai Mingxiu nodded and said: "There is not much time left for them. I am afraid that it is inevitable that these soldiers will go to the battlefield to understand the meaning of these things."

Just when Bai Mingxiu was about to go back home, the system suddenly let go.

"What, host, are you dissatisfied with these indigenous people? How about such a generous and powerful system master sending you a challenge mission?"

Bai Mingxiu was very pleasantly surprised, "Master of the system, what is a challenge mission?"

The system laughed and said: "You can think of it as a dungeon. I will create something similar to a space gap in an area. In this dungeon, I will put some enemies. You have to lead your troops to complete my mission." The listed victory conditions. You will not really die in the space gap. When the space gap disappears, the 'dead' people will recover. This is a very complicated physics concept, so I won't explain it to you in detail. .You, the host, who are educated in literature, can’t understand such advanced science concepts.”

Bai Mingxiu was a little shy and dissatisfied: "My average high school physics score is over 90, okay?"
