With the official start of the Leonora Industrial Base, various newspapers and media outlets have published their own news stories, all tacitly choosing eye-catching headlines.
For European citizens, the prosperity and development of Europe are taken for granted. People also enjoy discussing things outside of Europe in their leisure time.
As one of the currently recognized Powers, Australasia's reputation in Europe is not small.
Even with Australasia's strength alone, Oceania has become the top choice for European immigration after the Americas.
News and reports about Australasia often attract many European viewers and curiosity.
They are always curious about new things, and it is not surprising for Europeans to want to learn about Australasia, a country that is thousands of miles away across the ocean.
In fact, when it comes to large urban cities, Australasia's development is already on par with European nations.
The traffic lights, street lamps, various automobiles, and modern facilities found everywhere in Europe can also be seen in Australasia.
In this era, buses and cable cars can also be seen in major cities in Australasia.
Even Arthur, with his view from later generations, sometimes cannot help but have the illusion that Sydney is a modern city.
Without exaggeration, the development of Sydney at this stage is more prosperous and advanced than some cities in later generations.
Thanks to Tesla's involvement, the power development in Australasia has almost reached all cities and is now being promoted to more remote villages and towns.
Meanwhile, there are no more than 300,000 natives left in Australasia.
Even considering the more than 1 million natives sent to the northern colonies and royal territories, the number of natives coming to Australasia has been reduced to less than 1.4 million.
This represents that over about ten years, nearly 800,000 natives have lost their lives in Australasia, in exchange for its prosperity and development.
To give back to these natives, Arthur intentionally provided them with long-missed and unseen meat, which came from parts of animals that Australians rarely eat and can't sell.
In the construction of the Leonora Industrial Base, only thousands of natives were used, and they were all in high-risk positions.
In addition, all workers and technicians in the engineering team, as well as experts planning the construction of the industrial area, were from Australasia.
Apart from the Leonora Industrial Base, at a cabinet meeting, the government also discussed the plan for another large-scale construction project.
The saying "If you want to get rich, build roads" rings true in any era. So far, highway construction in Australasia has been smooth. It now connects all cities and larger towns in each state, with small villages and settlements also connected by roads.
In terms of railways, following the industrial railways and Northern Railways, the transportation department has applied for the launch of the next railway construction plan.
The first focus is on Australasia itself, mainly the Australian region.
The Northern Railway and the industrial railways have connected the island of Australia. The next step is to establish railways connecting major cities and the central part of the Australian region.
According to the transportation department's plan, the next railway construction has been collectively named the Central Railway.
The Central Railway is divided into three parts. The first part is located in the West Australian State, starting from Esperance, connecting northward to the industrial railway, then to the Leonora Industrial Base, followed by Micassala, Newman, and Port Hedland.
