1896 map

The economic value of the territory of Liubei Jiaxie is huge and unestimable

What is the richest and most beautiful place in our great motherland? Most people will answer, it is Suhang. And I will answer firmly: No! It is the northeast of the outside, the magnificent and vast fertile land surrounded by the outer Xing'an Mountains, Heilongjiang, the Sea of ​​Japan, and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk! Speaking of her beauty, we regret to borrow Chekhov's famous saying: "I can't describe a beautiful scenery like the banks of the Amur River; I can only express surrender in front of such a scenery.

Please imagine the Sulam Pass on the bank of the Amur River. Look, this is the Amur River. Rocks, cliffs, forests, thousands of egrets and wild ducks covering the sky and the sun are heart-wrenching." As for her wealth, it is impossible to express it in words, except for God who is pampering her with thousands of favors. Let me give you an example: the northeast only accounts for 8% of China's territory in 1840, but the natural resources it has may account for 30% of the country.

In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance only extorted 1 billion taels of silver in China, while the so-called Amur Prefecture, which only accounts for 20% of Tsarist Russia's plunder of Chinese territory, was worth US$400 billion!! Today, China has 9.6 million square kilometers of forests and only 1 million square kilometers of forests. The northeast, which has 1 million square kilometers, has 700,000 square kilometers of forests, and surpasses the entire China in terms of forest stock!! Since Russia mined gold in the Far East, the total gold output in the northeast has reached 2,000 tons!!! The whole China produced only 10 tons of gold in 1970, and China's gold output exceeded the 100 tons mark in 1995.

This gap in natural wealth may be the best explanation of the gap in national strength between China and Russia. In order to allow every descendant of the Chinese nation to deeply understand and always remember this richest and most beautiful land in the motherland for generations, I made this post to never forget it!

For the convenience of narration, I divided the northeast, 1 million square kilometers, into four regions to introduce it. At the same time, many places can only borrow the current Russian place names. Everyone understands it)

1) Outside the northeast and south: the wild Siberian tigers in the coastal area, the last paradise of wild ginseng

The wild Siberian tigers that are terrifying the world have become history in China today, but the wild Siberian tigers have not become extinct. However, the only habitat of wild Siberian tigers is now the foreign Russian coastal border area. The coastal border area is located in the geographical location, its unique geological development process, terrain and climatic conditions, making this land one of the most abundant areas in the Far East with energy minerals, hydraulic and biological resources. The border area has always been a raw material supply base for Russia's non-ferrous metallurgy, wood processing, and fish processing.

Biological resources

The coastal area is 165,000 square kilometers, accounting for less than 1% of Russia, but honey production accounts for 10% of Russia's total production, ranking first in Russia, 2.5 times the production of Volgograd, which ranks second in Russia. Soybean production accounts for second place, rice production accounts for third place. Fish and seafood account for 14% of the country and wood exports 2%

Forest resources

The forest coverage rate in the coastal border area is 75%, (contemporary China, the national forest coverage rate is only 13%). The total forest area is 12.3 million hectares, the forest coverage rate is 75%, and the total timber reserves are 1.75 billion cubic meters. (Compared with contemporary China, which province has such a high forest coverage rate and forest quality? You should know that the total timber reserves in Heilongjiang Province, which area is 3 times that of the coastal border area, is only 1.5 billion cubic meters. The total timber reserves in my country, with an area of ​​60 times that of the coastal border area are only 10 billion cubic meters). The annual timber harvesting limit in the border area is 10 million cubic meters (the limit of the entire timber harvesting in China is about 40 million cubic meters), and the actual harvesting quantity in recent years is 2503 million cubic meters.

The coniferous species growing in the border areas include cedar, fir, spruce and larch; soft species include birch, poplar, linden; hard broad-leaved species are oak, ash, elm and yellow birch. All the above-mentioned species are used in industry, but of course the most precious one is cedar. The Korean cedar, which is called "bread trees", can bear 500 to 800 pine cones in the harvest year, and can harvest 100 kilograms per hectare.

To more pine nuts. For many animals living in the primeval forest of Ussuri, pine nuts are the best food: star crows, woodpeckers eat leftover pine nuts, pine branches and flower-tailed hazel grilles; pine nuts are also delicious meals for animals such as purple leopards, black bears, brown bears, wild boars, squirrels and other animals... The preciousness of cedars is that the plants that symbiotic with them are prickly turtle, ginseng (don't wonder how wild ginseng, the king of Chinese medicine, is in Russia) and wild kiwi.

The coastal border area has a variety of mineral resources and a large reserve, ranking among the most abundant mineral resources in Russia. The proven areas in the country include bituminous coal, lignite, tin ore, tungsten ore, fluorite and polymetallic ore. The proportion of mining in the border area is almost twice the average value of Russia. In the Russian raw material production field, the coastal border area produces boron raw materials, which account for less than 1% of Russia's area, account for 90% of the country, fluorite 83%, tungsten concentrate ore 16%, coal 5.2%, cement 2.6%, and tin mining in the coastal border area occupies the third place in Russia.

2) Far East Oil Sea Sakhalin Island, Far East Kuwait, a paradise for sea beasts, an unsinkable aircraft carrier Sakhalin (Sakhalin Island)

On June 9, 2003, the British-Japanese joint venture Sakhalin Energy Company announced that it would invest US$10 billion in the second phase of the "Sakhalin 2" oil and gas development project in the Russian Far East. This is the largest overseas investment Russia has received so far. This huge amount of money once again directs the world's attention to the remote and cold island in the Russian Far East, Sakhalin Island. Sakhalin Island is 948 kilometers long from north to south and 6,160 kilometers wide from east to west, and the entire island area is about 70,000 square kilometers (equivalent to the total area of ​​all existing islands in China).

Sakhalin Island is not only the largest island in Russia, but also the only region in the Russian Far East that produces oil and natural gas. Sakhalin Island and its surrounding continental shelf have abundant oil and natural gas resources make it a treasure house of energy in Russia, known as the "Far East Kuwait". Its energy reserves are enough to bring Russia a revenue of US$500 billion (!!!), while Sakhalin Island's population is only 600,000.

In recent years, dozens of internationally renowned consortiums have launched fierce competition to develop the oil and natural gas treasure house of Sakhalin Island. Investors in the United States, Britain and Japan have signed contracts to invest 30 billion US dollars (HK$234 billion) in the next ten years for mining. Sakhalin Energy is an energy investment company jointly established by the British Shell, Mitsui and Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan. The "Sakhalin 2" project refers to the construction project of the Piriton-Astochsk oil and gas field and the Lusk oil and gas field on the Okhotsk Sea Shelf near Sakhalin Island. The oil reserves of these two oil and gas fields are

600 million tons (more than China's largest Daqing Oilfield), with a natural gas reserve of 700 billion cubic meters. The first phase of the project was launched in 1996. The total investment of the second phase is US$10 billion, including the construction of a liquefied natural gas factory with an annual production capacity of 9.6 million tons in the southern part of Sakhalin, the construction of two new offshore drilling platforms, and the laying of oil and gas pipelines with a total length of 850 kilometers. After the production areas of Piriton Astochsk, Chaiwinsk and Alkutondatinsk are invested in the annual oil extraction volume and 21 billion cubic meters of natural gas.

According to the plan of "Sakhalin 1" and "Sakhalin 2" for five oil and natural gas production areas within 40 years, a total of 140 million tons of oil and 700 billion cubic meters of natural gas are planned to be mined in five oil production areas within 40 years. This project will bring huge benefits to Russia (!! not China). A Japanese consortium has decided to develop crude oil from the Chawo mining area off the coast of Sakhalin Island in the Far East of Ross, and will transfer most of the production back to Japan's supply needs by 2005. The Chawo mining area located outside the northeast of Sakhalin Island can produce 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day, equivalent to 6% of Japan's total daily imports. This reservoir will help Japan (!! not China) diversify imported oil sources and stabilize energy supply. The Russian Far East, the "prison island" that imprisoned prisoners during the Tsarist period, has now become a region that world powers are competing to invest, and its energy reserves are enough to bring Russia $500 billion in revenue (!!!)

Not only is the prospect of oil and gas development on the offshore continental shelf promising, but the coal reserves of the Sakhalin coal mine are also very considerable, but due to the economic crisis, the coal mining volume has decreased year by year since the late 1980s. So far, coal mines have basically only met internal demand in the state. Now Sakhalin mines 2.5 million tons of coal every year, but the coal industry has great potential. First of all, it can rely on increasing open-pit mining to increase production. The Songtsevsk production area is the main reserve for expanding open-pit coal mining. The proven reserves in the southern section of the production area alone reach 100 million tons. It is planned that the Songtsevsky coal mine can produce 1 million tons of coal every year, and this will be the lowest (!!) coal in the Far East.

Not only does the underground resources of Sakhalin have endless resources, but the world of animals and plants are also extremely rich. The mammals in the northern part of Sakhalin are typical representatives of forest species: sables, silver rats, wools, foxes, otters, brown bears, hares, squirrels, etc. The amphibians inhabited in the central part of Sakhalin include toads, Siberian four-toed salamanders; reptiles include fetal lizards and Sakhalin vipers; mammals include Arctic squeaks, squirrels, flower-skinned rats, wild Arctic deer and fragrant deer

.All kinds of mammals in Nam Sakhalin are present. But only here can you catch Hikatan voles living on Hokkaido Island, and you can also see raccoon dogs and Itatsi weasels. In the past twenty years, the spotted deer, Ussuri raccoons and Bargujin sables have adapted to the climate here and have settled on the island. The muskrat population domesticated by soil and soil is also very common on the island. There are all kinds of precious furs and are sold all over the world!
