Arthur did not want his encouragement to instill a sense of urgency and profit in these people that might ultimately contribute to the failure of the Antarctic expedition.
After sending off the Antarctic expedition team, Arthur could finally shift his attention from the South Pole and take a look at other lands besides Antarctica.
On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Australasia still had a vast area of Black Land for farming, a result of the war between Argentina and Chile.
Time had passed, but Australasia had been continuously in control of this Black Land, and even the scope of cultivation had been expanding.
Currently, Argentina's Black Land was providing Australasia with one-twentieth of its Food production, with the annual yield already breaking through a million tons.
This was no small figure, given that the scale of Black Land controlled by Australasia was not large, especially compared to the range owned by Argentina—it was just a fraction.
