Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Southern Africa is very rich in water resources, with numerous rivers and dense water networks. The Zambezi River, the fourth largest in Africa, and the Orange River, the fifth largest, are both in Southern Africa.

Affected by climate and geographical conditions, the hydropower resources in southern Africa are not fully utilized. The Zambezi River and the Orange River are both unnavigable. The water flow is irregular and is often blocked by waterfalls and turbulence. The river bed and estuary are often blocked.

Silt blockage.

After the establishment of the federal government in Southern Africa, the construction of water conservancy facilities has been strengthened. The situation has improved in recent years, but the water conservancy facilities have not been fully developed.

Commissioned by the federal government of Southern Africa, the University of Nyasaland began inspecting rivers in Southern Africa at the beginning of this year. While building reservoirs, it will also build large-scale hydropower stations to meet the needs for irrigation, navigation, and electricity.

Judging from the currently collected information, both the Orange River and the Zambezi River have huge development potential. One of these two rivers has a total length of 1,860 kilometers, and the other has a total length of 2,660 kilometers. Many reservoirs and hydropower stations can be built along the way.

Gram's ultimate goal is to complete the navigation needs of the two rivers, which at present seems to be an almost impossible task.

To build large-scale hydropower stations, it is not only necessary to have money and people, but also to have the corresponding technology, otherwise it is impossible to even think about it.

Southern Africa used to have money and people, but poor technology.

But now with Nikola Tesla, Southern Africa has made up for the last shortcoming, and it has become possible to develop the Zambezi and Orange rivers.

The development of the Zambezi and Orange rivers was originally a national project prepared by Rock to combat the Great Depression.

The Great Depression will have to wait a few more years, so it doesn't matter if we develop the Zambezi and Orange rivers in advance. It can boost the economy and accumulate experience at the same time. There is nothing more cost-effective than this.

"Developing the Zambezi and Orange rivers? These are two big projects." Kitchener was dumbfounded. He had never thought that Roque would be so generous.

"It's not just a big project, it's an impossible task." Winston was not optimistic. If this matter were left in the UK, it would not be discussed in Congress. There is no need.

The UK's interest in engineering is limited to building subways and hydropower stations in London. The UK's power companies are all private enterprises. Stanley Baldwin proposed the establishment of a Central Electricity Commission last year. It has not been officially launched yet. It needs to monitor the national power grid.

Transformation is nowhere in sight.

The power companies in southern Africa are also private enterprises, and Roque also wants to change this situation.

Roque will not establish a Central Electricity Commission, but will invest in the federal government to build large hydropower stations and thermal power stations, and transform previously built hydropower stations to install more and larger generating units.

For example, the Crocowan Hydropower Station built 20 years ago has been transformed and its power generation has increased nearly four times compared with before.

After the reconstruction of the Crocodile Bay Hydropower Station, the federal government, the Transvaal state government, and the Crocodile Bay Power Company each hold one-third of the shares, which greatly increases the federal government's say.

"As long as we work hard, the impossible will become possible. When the federal government was first established 20 years ago, who could have imagined that Southern Africa would develop to the extent it does now -" John Monash has confidence in Southern Africa,

At the very least, the federal government in Southern Africa is harder working, more pragmatic, and more efficient than the government in London.

"The University of Nyasaland is researching more powerful generator sets. Twenty years ago, the total power of the generator set at Crocoa Bay Hydropower Station was only 100,000 kilowatts. Now the single unit capacity has exceeded 100,000 kilowatts. In the future, there will be even more powerful generator sets.

Generator, why is it an impossible task?" Rock firmly believes that man can conquer nature, so he will give it a try first before deciding whether it works.

While Rock was chatting with John Monash about the hydropower station, an exploration team was trekking in the mountains in Basutoland, 200 kilometers away from Pretoria.

This is an exploration team jointly sent by Nyasaland University and the Ministry of Land and Resources. There are also two geological experts from Christian Exploration Company in the team. They have a group of more than 40 people and are about to arrive at the destination of their trip -

—Ohrabis Falls.

Ohrabis Falls is the fifth largest waterfall in the world and the second largest waterfall in Africa. "Ohrabis" means "place of huge noise" in Khoisan language. The waterfall has a drop of 122 meters and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

It is spectacular, with five sections of water flowing down from a high altitude to the 18-kilometer-long Grand Canyon, which is of great development value.

"This is not a good idea. It is best to build a reservoir somewhere else. Our Basutoland state government has prepared to develop the tourism resources of Ohrabis Falls. This will become a tourist attraction in the future. If a reservoir is built here, it will be magnificent.

Ohrabis Falls may disappear, which is a huge loss for all of us." Basutoland Interior Ministry official Stuart is the guide of the exploration team, and he is not enthusiastic about building hydropower stations.

"Don't worry Stuart, we will choose to build the reservoir in a suitable place so that it will not affect the Ohrabis Falls as much as possible. I don't need to say more about the benefits of building a reservoir. You can apply to the federal government.

It is a good thing for Basutoland to use local construction materials from Basutoland as much as possible and hire local workers from Basutoland as much as possible." Dennis, an official from the Ministry of Land and Resources, panted. His body was a little fat.

This put more burden on him while trekking in the mountains, and he had to use trekking poles to help him keep up with the speed of the large troops.

"Come on, Basutoran people are busy running plantations and have no time to work on construction sites. Moreover, the federal government has cheaper African workers at its disposal. I don't believe they will pay higher wages to hire Basutoran people.

." Stuart was unmoved. The development of southern Africa was uneven, and Basutoland was a relatively backward state.

To be precise, Basutoland is almost the same as Swaziland next door. Its economic status is basically at the bottom among the twenty states in southern Africa. It does not need to be compared with the surrounding Transvaal and Lorenzo Marquez.

Even worse than Dias and Victoria who had just joined Southern Africa.

Basutoland is the state with the highest altitude in southern Africa, with an average altitude of more than 1,000 meters and a maximum altitude of about 3,500 meters, hence the name "Land of the Sky".

Basutoland has serious soil erosion and a weak agricultural foundation. Before the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government, the local people relied on the weather and did not engage in production. Therefore, when the Southern African Federal Government was established, the British included Basutoland in the southern region.

African administration, becoming part of Southern Africa.

The influx of Chinese immigrants has changed the situation in Basutoland. In the past, Basutoland could not even support itself in food and needed support from the federal government. However, things have gotten better in recent years. Basutoland's agriculture has basically become self-sufficient. Diamonds

The discovery of the mine has injected vitality into Basutoland's economy, and the development of animal husbandry has also been effective. The famous mohair is produced in Basutoland.

Even so, Basutoland's economy is still in a backward position in southern Africa. The federal government's development of the Orange River is also to change Basutoland's backward economic situation. There is a lot to be done around the hydropower station.

Electricity supply itself is one of the foundations of economic development.

In the evening, Dennis finally heard a faint roar, which was the sound of the impact of the waterfall.

"Are we almost there?" Dennis raised one foot and stood in a strange posture. There must have been blisters on his feet, and every step he took was painful.

"Not yet, I just heard the sound. I have to walk at least ten kilometers." Gardner, professor of geology at Nyasaland University, is not in a hurry. He is wearing an orange field work suit produced by Wolf Claw. This color is very popular in the wild.

Being eye-catching will be more helpful for rescue in the event of an accident.

Even though the development of Transvaal is quite mature, the development of Basutoland is still relatively backward. There is not even a decent road to get to Ohrabis Falls, and there are dangerous wild animals such as lions and snakes along the way.

The famous black mamba and golden cobra are humans' greatest threats in the wild.

Of course, in addition to the fearsome black mamba, Basutoland also has many cute animals, such as the South African Oryx, which has two long and straight horns. The male's horns can reach 120 centimeters in length.

"God, let me die, can we take a rest?" Dennis was miserable, sitting on a rock and wailing.

Stuart and Gardner looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Officials who sit in offices all year round are indeed in poor physical condition and need to exercise more.

Arik, the security director from the Umbrella Company, did not smile. He glanced at Dennis, suddenly stood up and walked slowly towards Dennis, casually pulling out the dogleg knife from his waist.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I just want to take a rest, don't scare me with the damn knife -" Dennis was shocked, it was just a break, there was no need to enforce battlefield discipline.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Arick looking serious, but he came to Dennis and slashed him with a knife.

Blood splattered, and the head of a black mamba fell next to Dennis.

Dennis jumped up as if he had been electrocuted. A bite from this thing in the wild would be fatal.

The black mamba snake is very poisonous. Two drops of venom can cause death. At any time, there are 20 drops of venom in the fangs of the black mamba. Once a human is attacked by the black mamba, if it cannot be treated in time, 30-30 drops of venom can be killed.

Will die within 60 minutes.

Compared with its toxicity, what is more frightening about the black mamba is its speed. It can chase its prey at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and the normal running speed of a normal person is only about ten kilometers per hour.

"This - this - this -" Dennis's body trembled violently, and the feeling of passing death was not good.

Arik raised his foot and stepped on the snake's head, crushing it completely.

"Finish the work of eradicating evil and eradicate the roots!"

Even after the snake's head is chopped off, it still has the ability to attack.
