Chapter 193: The original scenery of my hometown
PS: In Chapter 73, the location of Australia's first colonial stronghold, "Zhongnan City", is incorrectly described. It should be in Derby Port, not Darwin Port. This is a correction. Alas, the set database is too huge, and my brain is a bit insufficient, so I accidentally made low-level mistakes.

As mentioned before, in order to prevent the Doraemon Five, whose mobility and destructive power are astonishing, from having any adverse impact on the traveler's strategy for the Ming Dynasty, the relevant departments removed Doraemon before the war started. A group of five people were invited to "play" in Australia.
However, it didn't take long for Doraemon's five-member team to get tired of Australia's wild scenery, kangaroos and koalas. Watching the travelers constructing large-scale construction projects on the edge of the desert in the north, they forged the ruins of "Song City". The primary school students couldn't help but think about it. Then he used Doraemon's 22nd century black technology props, talking to himself in the planned capital of the Chinese League, Perth, Australia in this time and space, and started to build a castle on the beach, as if building a castle on the beach. Visit countless magnificent buildings, and then play as kings, prime ministers, princesses, etc.
So, when Li Wei, the leader of the "Australians" who also served as the contractor, finally completed the forgery of the ruins of "Song City", the capital of the "Australian Song Empire", and returned to the Perth area excitedly, he immediately made countless I was dumbfounded by the row upon row of giant buildings.
——Look at Nobita Nobita in the full-length theatrical version, and turn his "Cloud Country" in the sky into something like a Disney theme park. You will know that the "dream city" in the minds of these elementary school students will be What does it look like: giant Ferris wheel, European castle, Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, White House, Colosseum, revolving Trojan horses, musical fountains, roller coasters, pyramids, the Sphinx, beach huts, the Statue of Liberty... all kinds of gorgeous landscape buildings are located on the lower reaches of the Swan River in Western Australia, where the modern city of Perth is. On the road, buildings are scattered everywhere in the east and west. The visual effect is quite amazing, but the rationality of the city layout is not taken into consideration at all.
Next, the Japanese primary school students in the Doraemon Five quickly got tired of playing the real version of the "Virtual City" game, so they only left a note saying "I have a surprise for you, no need to thank us." After leaving the note, I took a bunch of Australian local products, patted my butts and went home.
Regarding this, Li Wei, who was scheduled to be the chief engineer of the Chinese League's capital, had really mixed feelings.
This is really an oversized surprise that is hard to stomach! ! !
Faced with such a mess, Levi's first reaction was that he was in trouble - all the original planning blueprints were in ruins! But looking at so many beautiful palaces and buildings that have been completed, I really can't bear to demolish them. So, after discussing with others, Li Wei made this decision: In view of the current embarrassing situation, the construction work of the Hua League capital had to be made while taking advantage of the gaps between various landscape buildings to build Some more practical neighborhoods, such as the large number of red-tiled houses in the port area; while renovating the huge buildings left behind by Doraemon, adding roads, telephones, electricity and water systems, so that they can be used for practical purposes , rather than just showing off for good looks.
For example, the Pentagon has been converted into a giant comprehensive apartment building, housing more than 10,000 people. It even has a canteen, a canteen, a barber shop and a nursery inside. It is said to be the place with the highest population density in Australia. . If someone visits this military command center in the original world, they will find that the Pentagon in Australia is really full of "the breath of life", and everything you look at is socks and underpants hanging out of the window.
Then, the Taj Mahal of India was converted into the Chinese Alliance National Library - after all, it was designed according to the structure of a mausoleum. It had too few windows, poor lighting and ventilation, and was really not suitable for living people to live in it for a long time. The Ministry of National Defense unceremoniously seized the most luxurious Palace of Versailles in France, the Ministry of Finance demanded Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the diplomatic department went to Schönbrunn Palace in Austria, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was aggrieved and rushed to Gyeongbokgung Palace in North Korea.
The Environmental Protection Agency was also aggrieved and assigned to Japan's Himeji Castle. That thing had a castle tower built in Australia, and the area was only equivalent to a large villa. Fortunately, there were not many people in the Environmental Protection Agency. The Central University of China League, which was even more aggrieved, was simply moved to the Potala Palace on a hilltop in the suburbs. The reason was that the place was large, there were many rooms, and the lighting was good. But the problem is that not only is it far away from the bustling area of the city center, but before the new cable car is completed, all teachers and students have to take the roller coaster left by Doraemon to commute to school every morning and evening... It is really heart-pounding. On the way to school!
The Chinese League Sports Department was placed in the Colosseum, and the Greek temple next to it was occupied as an office space. The Chinese League Propaganda Department was stuffed into the shell-shaped Sydney Opera House on the seaside. The Central Bank of the Chinese League got the Palace of Westminster (the British Parliament Building) with Big Ben. As for the White House in the United States, which symbolized world hegemony in the old world, it was naturally the office location of the supreme leader, Comrade Chairman of the Chinese League, and the U.S. Capitol Hill The Chinese League Senate was stationed, and the Great Hall of the People in Beijing was the seat of the House of Representatives. The two houses face each other across the Swan River, and there is a Tower Bridge in the middle for mutual communication.
The headquarters of the Christian Church in Australia is stationed in the Kremlin. Well, to be precise, it is Basil's Assumption Cathedral attached to the Kremlin. It is a common landmark building on news and TV screens. The one next to Red Square has nine golden onions. Colorful ornate church with shaped roof. As for the main building of the Kremlin itself, it was simply not built at all - please forgive the level of Japanese elementary school students' knowledge of Russian attractions.
The remaining ornamental buildings, as long as they are barely habitable, have basically been converted into various department residences or staff dormitories of the Hua League Headquarters. Fortunately, these replicas of the world's wonders buildings are generally just superficial, that is, a rough outline of the appearance, which can be almost the same as the original. Various other ancillary buildings and gardens can be saved, such as the large Some of the fountains have been simplified into pools, and all kinds of luxurious decorations that should have been inside the shells are completely missing. They are all bare cement prefabricated boards or more advanced polymer building materials. Therefore, when people live there, there is no sense of burning harps and boiling cranes or hoarding natural resources, and it is relatively easy to make practical improvements.
In the end, no one wanted the large and useless pyramid - because the pile of stones was basically solid and there was really no way to live in it.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Although replicating the world's wonders on a large scale in Australia seems a bit unethical, strictly speaking, there is not much danger of being cheated. Because many of the famous landmark buildings that we are familiar with in later generations did not exist on the earth in the first half of the seventeenth century.
It should be noted that the builder of the Palace of Versailles in history, the "Sun King" of France, Louis XIV, was not yet born at all. France is now ruled by his father, King Louis XIII, and Prime Minister Cardinal Richelieu. Buckingham Palace in the UK is also a building that only appeared in the 18th century. As for the Tower Bridge in London, it was not completed until the era of Sherlock Holmes, and Neuschwanstein Castle, a "modern fairy tale building", was also born at the end of the 19th century.
Although Gyeongbokgung Palace in North Korea had been born once before, it was burned to rubble during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion decades ago, and will remain in ruins for the next few centuries. It was not until the late nineteenth century, during the reign of the last king (or queen), that Gyeongbokgung Palace was rebuilt. In fact, it was almost a product of the same era as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, and the Arc de Triomphe.
Next, the construction of the original Taj Mahal of the Mughal Empire in India has just started, and it will take about twenty years to be completed. Just judging from the time, it is difficult to say who copied who. There is also Japan's Himeji Castle, which was completed in 1618. According to its original history, it will be preserved intact until after the Meiji Restoration. However, in this changed time and space, the original Japanese Himeji Castle unfortunately encountered the Maori army's Eastern Expedition at the Battle of Sanluo, and was bombarded and burned during the Battle of the Cage Castle, so it was unable to come. Pursue counterfeit goods here in Australia.
In fact, the Maori family that now rules Kyoto welcomes the Chinese League's aggressive construction of various Japanese-style buildings in their own capital, and can even be said to be flattered. For example, the Doraemon Five made a replica of Itsukushima Shrine (a famous floating shrine in western Japan) on the sandbank at the mouth of the Swan River. After Comrade Levi checked it, he thought it was pretty good, so he changed its name to "Swan Shrine". ”, be retained. At the same time, a letter was sent to the Maori family asking for a group of Japanese witches to preside over the new shrine. As a result, the Mori family actually sent the authentic shrine maiden from Itsukushima Shrine...
After making full use of the landscape buildings left by Doraemon's gang of Japanese elementary school students, Levi started to add some new landmarks. For example, the Oriental Pearl Tower overlooks most of the city's important neighborhoods, and there is also a magically modified replica of Tiananmen Square used for military parades, celebrations, and flag-raising ceremonies. It's just the square itself and the Monument to the People's Heroes inside. The Forbidden City behind it is too big. It's huge, the cost of construction is too high, and the key is that it's useless. So I only built a separate Tiananmen Gate Tower... This finally gave the capital of the Chinese League a somewhat "Chinese style", but looking at it as a whole, it still inevitably shows the style of a "Window of the World Theme Park" .
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Oh, a theme park is just a theme park! There is nothing we can do about it. Anyway, we are not the ones who live here. Looking at these guys who just moved in recently, there is such a gorgeous garden city to live in. Everyone seems quite happy!”
After listening to Li Wei's explanation, Wang Qiu could only sigh helplessly while looking down at the Presidential Mountain in the distant suburbs.
Of course, on this Australian version of the head rock, the four presidents of the United States of America, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt, who have not yet been born and will probably never be born again, will not be engraved. Instead, they will be engraved with the Birth of the Chinese League. At the beginning, the heads of the five major traveling groups from the Far East, Hainan, South America, North America and Australia - as the leader of the Australian group, the bust of Paladin Comrade Levi was also prominently among them.
Therefore, Levite gave it a new name "Leader Rock"... which made Wang Qiuzhi feel a strong wind of pretentiousness coming towards him.
But...just pretend to be cool, after all, I also slept in the wilds of Australia and ate a lot of sand! At least we have to let people have a psychological balance. Life is all about fame or profit. If you don't even pretend to be cool, what's the difference between living like a salted fish?
And if you think about it carefully, building the capital in a more distinctive way is not a bad thing at all. In the modern world, there are many lively people who would rather pay a high price to live in a theme park. There are also hotels with a view of the theme park, and the house prices are often very hot...
What's more, for the travelers who have to bid farewell to the familiar bustling modern world forever, come to this backward and wild new world, and then work together to start a business, they can often see the "original scenery of their hometown" around them. Perhaps It’s also an extremely happy thing! In addition, for the natives of this time and space who came to this city, the above-mentioned giant buildings with magnificent scale and exaggerated shapes brought them an indescribable visual impact and a huge shock that shook their hearts. Power...
