Chapter 153: Chapter 148: Poption Explosion


    “In our five industrial zones, there are more than 20,000 Australian workers and over 30,000 Indigenous Peoples working, and the industrial output and volume ount for the vast majority of Australia’s total industrial output.” Minister of Industry Pierre said with a smile.


    Industrial zones are important sites established by the Australian Government for industrial development. After more than two years of lengthy development, most of Australia’s industries have been relocated to industrial zones, and industries scattered in other ces are not veryrge, especially inparison to these fiverge industrial zones.


    Currently, Australia’s industries have a trend of centralized development, resulting in an increasing number and scale of industrial zones.


    However, there are some problems. Although Australia has vastnd and abundant mineral resources, it does not mean that there are no issues with industrial development.


    In addition to solving the poption problem by using the number of Indigenous Peoples, Australia also has a slightly thorny problem – there is not enough water resources.


    The development of the industry requires a lot of water resources, and people also consume a lot of water resources.


    At present, due to the rtively small scale of the industry and insufficient poption, the problem of water scarcity has not yet emerged.


    But once Australia’s poption size grows, it will be a thorny problem for the Australian government.


    In order to resolve this issue earlier, under Arthur’smand, the industrial sector has begun to constructrge reservoirs and water storage areas near the industrial zones. The stored water will be used for industry, and some cleaner water storage areas will also be used for agriculture and people’s lives.


    With the efforts of many Indigenous Peoples, the construction of reservoirs and water storage areas has been very effective. At present, each of Australia’s five industrial zones has a small reservoir that can meet the water needs of the industrial zone even when water resources are scarce.


    Of course, Australia will build more water storage areas in the future topletely improve Australia’s water usage problem.


    After all, Australia’s poption is about to soar, and the water problem needs to be resolved sooner orter. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Industrial zones have provided more than 20,000 jobs in Australia, which is good news for those with lower ies in Australia.


    The ies of these industrial zones are all above the average Australian ie, and they are also the focus of attention for Arthur and the Australian government.


    While the ie level may not be highpared to the European powers, at least the workers do not have to worry about being exploited too much, and basic welfare and sry distribution can be guaranteed.


    “In addition to the industrial zones, we have discovered arge number of new mineral resources in many areas of Australia. These include coal mines, iron mines, silver mines, bauxite mines, petroleum, and so on. In particr, coal and iron reserves have increased by about three times since the end of 1900.” Minister Pierre continued to report.


    Arthur was not surprised by the continuous discovery of these mineral resources. Australia is truly a country sitting in a minecart, and the richness of mineral resources is unimaginable.


    Keep in mind that in the highly developed economy and industry ofter generations, Australia can still obtain a considerable ie by exporting arge amount of mineral resources each year, and there is no sign of mineral resource depletion. This alone proves the richness of Australia’s mineral resources.


    “This is the annual report of the Ministry of Industry this year, Your Highness, pleasement.” After reporting all the data in hand, Minister Pierre respectfully handed all the materials to Arthur and said.


    “Well, the Ministry of Industry is doing a good job, but we must not stop there. In the new year, our ns to jointly set up car factories with the British Empire and German Empire will also begin to be implemented. In addition to the production needs of our existing domestic car factories, our demand for steel production is not low. I hope that in the new year, our total steel output can reach one million tons, and the steel production output can exceed at least 350,000 tons, so as to initially meet our demand for steel production.” Arthur nodded indifferently, took a rough nce at theplete report, and instructed.


    Reaching a total steel output of one million tons may not seem easy, but it is simple for Australia’s industrial sector.


    Keep in mind that in 1902, Australia’s total steel output increased by nearly 500,000 tons, reaching a staggering 680,000 tons.


    This figure is only 320,000 tons away from one million tons, and based on the industrial development ofst year, it is not difficult.


    The same is true for steel production output. The new target set by Arthur is not muchpared to the growth rate in 1902, but whether it can reach one million tons is indeed one of the standards for measuring whether a country is an industrial country or not.


    Looking at all the powerful nations, the total steel output of any country is as high as several million tons. Even the most critical steel production output is generally above one million tons.


    Compared with these powerful nations, Australia’s industry is just getting started. Although it has arge number of industrial equipment from Britain and assistance from Germany, it will take a lot of time to catch up with these countries or go hand in hand with them.


    “In addition to the excellent performance of the Ministry of Industry, Australia’s poption in 1902 has also seen a significant increase. At the beginning of 1902, Australia’s total poption was approximately 3,996,200, and it has now grown to 4,263,900, with a poption growth rate of approximately 6.7%. Our total poption has officially exceeded 4 million and is working towards the initial goal of 5 million.” After the report of the Ministry of Industry waspleted, Prime Minister Evan returned to the center of the podium and continued the Cab Government’s general report.


    “In 1902, our immigrant poption reached over 190,000, making it thergest year for immigrants to date. Among them, there were about 60,000 immigrants from the British Empire, about 70,000 from the German Empire, and others from other European countries, such as France, Spain, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Our newborn poption was about 94>ooo, and the death poption was 23,000. The ratio of newborn babies has almost doubled, which is also due to the significant increase in Australia’s per capita ie. People have stable jobs and generous sries to have enough energy and time for childbirth, and they can also afford to raise newborns.” Prime Minister Evan reported.
