Chapter 927 The second largest freshwater lake in the world 【Come to start to subscribe】

The questions Jia Long asked everyone were actually not that difficult.

Even those who have never even heard of Uganda can know the answer as long as they search the word Jinja on the Internet.

"It seems that everyone has a lot of knowledge, and many brothers have answered correctly."

The girl didn't pierce the fans' show off, and even praised the big guy a few words.

"That's right, when we get there, we will see the second largest freshwater lake in the world - Lake Victoria!"

"And the river known as one of the upper reaches of the world's longest river, the 'Nile' - the Victoria Nile!"

When Jia Long said these two names, she felt slanderous in her heart, and there were also many complaints burst out in the barrage in an instant.

"Hehe, you guys are weird too, why is it 'Victoria' again? That's right, we have experienced the world's second largest waterfall 'Victoria Falls' in Zambia, and here comes the world's second largest freshwater lake, Lake Victoria , plus there is a Victoria River, these most beautiful rivers, lakes and seas in the world, how come they all become 'Victoria'?"

"Everyone must have the answer in their hearts. Of course, this is the product of the colonization of the Big E Empire. These beautiful things are all named after their queens, which shows how strong the oppression of Africans was."

"Even now, the post-colonial influence is still deeply affecting the African continent. Politics, economy, military, science and technology, culture, and today's land, no matter where they are, there are deep Western imprints."

Listening to Jia Long's explanation, Xiao Liu, a young man who has not revealed his real name yet, who was sitting in the passenger seat, became silent for some reason.

"Xiao Liu first, aren't you very lively? Why don't you speak?"

Jia Long keenly sensed that something was wrong with him.

Only then did Xiao Liu sigh.

"I just remember from your words that it is not easy for us Longxia people in Africa. Because of the impact of the post-colonial era, our Longxia people who have no historical influence in Africa want to go to the normalization of economic and trade in Africa today." I don’t know how great efforts have been made. Generations of people here have used hard work and sweat, with a fair and unbiased approach, diligently, and diligently, and this is the initial trust of Africans... Sigh.”

When Jia Long heard what he said, he also recalled the information he had seen about how hard some Longxia people worked in Africa, so he couldn't help but nodded.

"Indeed, the West conquered Africa with strong ships and sharp guns, and its influence has remained to this day. However, our Lungsia used equal trade, which is really rare. Even so, the West always points out that it uses economic colonization. You guys It is really difficult for Longxia people working hard in Africa."

She thought about it, and suddenly an idea popped up.

"Xiao Liu, you have been in Ugan country for so long, you must be connected with the Longxia people who are also working hard in Ugan country. When you get to Kampa, can you take me to meet some of them? The audience knows what the Longxia people who are working hard in Africa look like and how they are."

"Okay, it's actually just right. We're holding a simple sports meeting for the Longxia people these few days. I thought it would be impossible to go there. Now that you said that, I can take you to see it together."

Xiao Liu quickly agreed.

"Longxia people hold a sports meeting in Africa? It's quite interesting, thank you, I want to see it."

Jia Long has not met many Longxia people in Africa, so he is very interested in what kind of life the compatriots live in Africa.

But this is just a story, and it is still the moment when Hubiao is running on the road.

About [-] kilometers from Jinja, the terrain changed again to a road with normal asphalt roads.

At least it wasn't dusty, which made Jia Long feel bad for Hu Biao.

"You may not know that we have just passed through a large province in Uganda, which is the 'Oriental Province' on the border. Now we are walking in Busoga Province, and we have already traveled halfway, and we will soon arrive at Jinja is a big city next to Busoga Province and another big province 'North Buganda Province'. As long as you pass Jinja, the following is North Buganda Province. When you get there, it also shows that we have already Isn't it amazing that we have crossed half of the Ugandan country, and it only took more than half a day."

At the speed of Hubiao, even if it is traveling in an African country with poor road conditions, it can still drive two to three hundred kilometers in four hours, which covers a quarter of Uganda's land span.

This shows that Uganda is not a big country.

"The land area of ​​Uganda is 24.1 square kilometers, which is about the same size as our Longsia Guanxi Province. But among them, its water area accounts for 17.00% of the country. It is not at all unreasonable to say that it is a country with many waters. Pass."

"And the city we are going to go to next, Jinja, is such a city closest to the water. When you get there, you may forget that this country is actually a landlocked country, and you will think it is a seaside city. Of course, how is it? I don't know either, let's wait and see."

While Jia Long was driving, he was able to explain fluently, and several times the correct data and words made Xiao Liu who was trying to talk very depressed.

Didn't you say let me take care of the studio?That's good, I've finished talking.

Actually, Jia Long is just habitually watching the studio.

He just said what he wanted to say, and he didn't have the habit of cooperating with other anchors at all, which made Xiao Liu depressed.

But for those who want to make fans, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

The vehicle continues on.

Sparse houses began to appear around the road, and the houses ranged from thatched houses to iron houses, and there were also large cement houses behind them.

This shows that the city is close at hand.

But before reaching the so-called big city 'Jinja' at all, the road ahead suddenly became clear.

A large area of ​​water and sky in one color appeared on the left side of the road.

It happened that this country drives on the left side, and Jia Long enjoyed the beautiful scenery at this moment.

"Wow, it appeared, Lake Victoria, what a big piece! Is this the sea at all?!"

Looking at the vast expanse of lake water that could not be seen at a glance, the large expanse of mountains and trees growing along the lake, and the countless small islands in the center of the lake with lush trees and foliage, Jia Long was shocked.

This is not at the same level as the Lake Nakuru I have seen before. Even Lake Turkana, the largest freshwater lake in Kenya, is nothing compared to it, and it is completely different.

The large expanses of water, the terrain of the small islands in the lake, and the fishing boats on the lake surface one after another, all make the big lake in front of you feel like a small ocean.

"This is the second largest lake in the world, Lake Victoria. It covers an area of ​​480 square kilometers, which is comparable to half the size of Uganda. It is 337 kilometers long from north to south, 240 kilometers wide from east to west, and has a shoreline of 3220 kilometers. , is the second largest freshwater lake in the world after Lake Superior in North America. And more importantly, this lake has fed nearly 3000 million people in the surrounding area. It is said that it is the country of Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. The mother of life for a large number of residents, there is nothing wrong with that.”

Although he was a bit slanderous about the name of this great lake, Jia Long did not despise the lake's achievements at all.

The name is given by humans, but it has actually raised so many people and many more animals, so it is worthy of anyone's respect.

Just like Lake Turkana, people who live by the lake rely on water for water. When Hubiao drove on the road into Jinja City, he could see many black fishermen returning with full fish and boats, as well as large and small boats fishing on the shore of the shallow lake.

And farther away, Jinjia City gradually revealed its clues.

It didn't take long for Jia Long to drive a Hubiao car into Jinja, a city in Yishui, Uganda, with a population of 50.

"This is a large city built at the confluence of Lake Victoria and the Victoria Nile River. It has a total population of 50 and is the second largest city in Uganda. Prosperity, but this does not hinder the beautiful scenery here. Compared with the daily water shortage in other African regions, the residents here are almost not in danger of water shortage, so their lives are rich. You can see that even the houses are full of the unique romantic color of the water town .”

The color of the water town that Jia Long refers to means that after entering Jinja, the houses around the road are mostly colorful, and even the iron houses like to be painted with gorgeous colors.

Other orthodox buildings are very similar to Western-style spire structures. The tension between houses is not as tight as that of Longxia City, but rather large, with grassland in the middle, and even vegetables and other crops.

To be honest, Jinja, the second largest city in Uganda, is not as modern as Jia Long thought before, and there are not even a few buildings with five floors or more, but there is a unique charm here.

Most of the people on the street are full of African-style smiles, which makes people feel the happiness from their hearts.

Because the temperature is suitable all year round, many children play on the side of the road with bare arms and no shirts.

To be honest, Jia Long has always believed that the land of Africa is full of contradictions.

People don't enjoy a well-developed life, and they don't have the crazy self-motivation like Longxia people, but they live a simple life, and happiness often comes from the depths of the soul, not material things.

"Master Long, there are many places to visit in Jinja, but the most famous one should be the Owen Hydropower Station not far away. Because of this power station, the water level of Lake Victoria has been rising every year and has become a bigger lake. I think it is necessary Go and have a look."

Xiaoliu began to recommend Jialong attractions.

But what he waited for was Jia Long who shook his head and vetoed.

"No, you take me to a nearby car maintenance point. I'll check and maintain the performance of the tiger, change the oil and so on, and then I have to go on. Don't forget, my purpose today is to rush to Ugan Kampa, the capital of the country."

"Uh, okay."

Jinja is full of hydrological atmosphere everywhere, and even the air is much humid.

However, under Xiao Liu's instigation, Jia Long really had no intention of playing.

Everything is still task-oriented.
