C3432 Examine Borneo

Singapore's Zai Chun carefully observed the Eurasian Ocean trade's large scale. With complex emotions, Zai Chun's fleet set off straight towards the east, straight to Kalimantan Island, which was also known as Borneo by the Chinese!

This was the first time any of the Chinese forces had infiltrated this area. In order to get the oil of the Brunei, Xiao Letian had set up the Kentun District from the very beginning, and it was precisely because of the wealth here that caused the ambush of the Russian fleet.

In that war, the Borneo erupted with a Chinese uprising, and defeated all the local tyrants to unite the Brunei Area, including the northern part of the Borneo.

The Dutch forces that were cowering in the Matapura region of the southern part of the island did not dare to make the slightest movement. The brutal battle that happened in the Brunei Area intimidated the merchants of this country.

Even the Lanfang Republic started to negotiate with the Chinese in secret. After countless bargaining and observing for a long time, the Lanfang Republic secretly joined the alliance.

However, the Lanfang Republic did not announce this to the public at the beginning, including the fact that the Sulu was also secretly contacting the Chinese. Until the Franco-Prussian War was over, the Chinese would not reveal this secret.

It was only until the European war was more or less decided that Minister of Residence Xiao Hexin had activated the Luzon's strategy. The Lan Fang Republic and the ancient country of Su Lu officially announced that they would join the Chinese Federation.

Zai Chun did not enter the Borneo in all seriousness. Instead, he sneaked into the Borneo under the protection of the CIA.

Tongzhi was received by Huang Wanxia and the others, and without alerting the citizens of the Borneo, the Emperor carried out two weeks of close inspection of the Borneo.

This time, Zai Chun was even more shocked. He never thought that in such a short period of time, the Borneo would have such a drastic change in his life.

Along the coastline, there were all kinds of Chinese gathering areas. The docks were densely packed, and in the distance, there were even modern coal burning factories in the industrial area.

On the far horizon were farmland that were being developed unceasingly. There was no way to waste rice that was cooked three times a year in Nan Yang. There were a lot of Borneo's aboriginals that were hired by the Chinese farms, and most of them were women.

Huang Wanxia felt a little ashamed when she saw those hardworking women, even the tranquility and peace on the surface was overshadowed by it.

As the refugees from the mainland were mostly men, the development of this place would not be sustainable without a woman. Gradually, a very ugly business began to emerge, human trafficking!

The Chinese started to pay a large sum of money for the women of the forest, and the business grew bigger and bigger. In the end, some of the Headhunter clan even went to the forest to capture other tribes' women to sell to the Chinese for money and goods.

Of course, this was prohibited by the Chinese law, but there were some things that the law could not enforce. In any case, those aboriginal women were forced to sell out and give birth to children for bachelors, while the local government gave them a certificate of registration.

Huang Wanxia knew that the Chinese were changing their bloodline for these barbarians. For a long time, the primitive tribes in the rain forest would only perish one by one, and other than merging into them, the only other outcome would be death.

Zai Chun's excitement obviously wasn't on those aboriginal girls, what he was more concerned about was the efficiency of the development of the Wilderness by the Chinese race.

The tropical rain forest was not suitable for the people of Central Plains to live in. There was too much rain and too much forest.

However, do not underestimate the enthusiasm of the Chinese people in building a rainforest. Repairing Earth was a gift of the Chinese bloodline. If the Great Wall could be built, would the Chinese nation be afraid of rainforest?

The steam power pumps, imported from Prussia, began to work, and people built dams to drain the swamps and build roads into the depths of the rainforest.

At first, it was a dirt road that could only be used by people, but gradually, the dirt road became wider and wider. In the end, a narrow forest track appeared.

One by one, the logging camps began to be set up at the edge of the forest. The precious red trees, yellow pears, and chicken wings became the Chinese wealth.

Hundreds of thousands of loggers were working day and night along the forest, and behind them hundreds of thousands of road repairmen were building railways into the forest.

This was a battle between humans and the rainforest for living space. It was a battle for speed!

Zai Chun was already dumbstruck, it took six or seven people to hold onto the huge banyan tree tightly. Under the logging process, the huge banyan tree fell in front of him like a mountain.

The forest gradually turned into a scarred head in front of people's eyes, and the open space soon turned into a village inhabited by humans.

All of the primitive tribes of Borneo had expressions of fear when they saw this scene, especially when they saw the small trains pulling carts after carts of trees across the mountain.

Although these tribesmen were all like savages, they were not stupid. They knew that their only way of survival was through the rainforest, and without the protection of the forest, they would not be able to fight against these pioneers with Gun s.

In the endless paddy fields, the people of the primitive tribes didn't even have a place to hide. The village, city, and road had already changed the entire world.

What shocked Zai Chun wasn't only the spectacular scene of humans fighting for space, but of course, the completion of the first oil well of the Brunei!

"Kowtow bug?" Why does this metal frame keep on kowtowing! "

In a wasteland near Brunei Bay, the first oil well probed by the Chinese had already started to pour oil, the steam power was pushing the connecting rod structure to spin non-stop.

This side of the steam engine was burning coal, but in the blink of an eye, pitch-black, viscous oil was flowing through the pipe!

The Brunei Oilfield had already become the practice base for the Geological University and the Industrial University. The 600 over university students had gathered together everyday to study how to explore, develop, and utilize this kind of combustible underground water.

Xiao Letian placed great importance on this oil field, he had even specially built a dock for the oil field!

Buckets after buckets of crude oil were pushed onto the boat. These were all experimental subjects to be sent to the laboratories in Northern Industrial Zones and the hegemony of Ryukyu for more scientists to study.

The Chinese petrochemical industry had already started to take shape and was already at the forefront of the world!

Zai Chun clenched his small fists and swore to himself in his heart, "When I return to the Qing Dynasty, I will also look for this oil … "Although I don't know what use this thing has …"

"But I know that Master's every step has a deeper meaning! "He definitely won't do useless work …"

Half a month of Borneo inspections had caused Emperor Tongzhi to be unable to sleep all night. Everything he investigated did not involve military matters.

Strangely speaking, what Zai Chun was most interested in right now was actually these normal places. He liked watching the roads and bridges being built, he liked watching the steam engines drain the swamps, and he liked watching the smacking machines for oil mining.

He liked the scene of people gathering together to carry out the great construction, because he knew that this was the true source of power!
