A piece of topography from Hubble Space Telescope can tell us so much information about Africa, which is similar to the water of an ocean. In postmodern era, gotten one original piece by Tertiary Education, every time we need to hold a panel for discussing the sub-categories in terms of this topography, and how we could divide it into the research interests regarding multiple-disciplinary fields. Afterwards, we would find a series of research projects we can organize accordingly, some of which are based on the knowledge we have already known but needed to be tested up-to-dated; meanwhile, others of which are needing us to create new knowledge to explore more. Furthermore, many 'channels' could be dug out for our students, lecturers, researchers, learners, scholars, professors, or even some others staffs from administrations and politics' travelling towards their own purity & reasonability of academy. Then, the approaches of methodology regarding with every field would associate us limit our own scope of researches and collect necessary knowledge from each other's shares. Finally, the sustainability of the development would be kept in continuously producing new interests and topics. Here, from the original beginning - the topography of Africa, we can discuss some relevant categories about which I would like to share some my ideas: (By the reason my major is about education research, some knowledge I have consulted my father - one Chinese expert in geography)

'Three channels linked by one navigational line which threading three oceans' - a category produced by making the regional considerations in the field of economy, politics, military etc.[edit source]

(1) We all knew that this area was the vital 'channel' for bulk goods' logistics and shipping. On the top part of it, 'Atlantic Ocean - Strait of Gibraltar - Mediterranean - Suez Canal - Red Sea - Mandeb Strait - Indian Ocean' has drawn a huge picture for navigation. (Resources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Gibraltar; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bab-el-Mandeb; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Ocean)

If we didn't choose this way, we have to navigate around the whole Africa to get the same effectiveness. However, the cost ... would be increased dramatically. Therefore, someone who can grip this area, can also be beneficial from huge economic interests. Also, by the reason that distributing alongside the two sides of Mediterranean and Strait of Gibraltar, there is the gift-treasure left to us - oil and gas, the stresses, unhappiness, sufferings and wars have been brought to the local peoples. Following our thinking line processing here, usually, we would write down too many unhappy issues, and beg the peace here (Merely can us pray and beg). However, this time, let us change our thinking patterns to set off some stresses and merely focus on the positive exploration and development. But how? What kind of strategy would associate us to set off the 'stresses' here?

First, let us set one sample: reviewing the introduction of Suez Canal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal) Do you feel it is too narrow? could we widen it several kilometres and allow more vessels getting through? Furthermore, What about the technique of train-ferry in putting here? could we build one 'channel' for train-ferry? Could we construct a 'binary' train-ferry system for each country? (it should be like that: On the two sides of Canal, We will construct a large-scale-integrated acceptance and a large-scale-integrated transmitting-port, between which the linking parts are made by railways such as the high-speed goods-trains. This professionalized channel would allow each country to send two ferries on each side. Somehow, it is like two sides of international airports linking by one channel and delivered the technologies of train-ferries. Each country will keep two ferries waiting besides the inputted Port and out-coming Port; other matters would be left to the internal logistics of High-speed trains (Trains can also get into the ferries for carrying anywhere else). The second stage, we would enlarge this plan by putting this series of waters and its two sides all internally the Train-ferries' network. Waiting the completed day's coming, each country just need to send two ferries in the inputted port - Suez Canal on Red Sea' side and 'Strait of Gibraltar' on Atlantic Ocean. The trains of them could run on the infrastructure provided by our tens years' construction. Thinking about this plan, how many employment opportunities could be created out for not only the local people, but also other countries', just if we can make the forgiveness of our past. Suez Canal, because of its narrowed situation can be sampled as the first-staged project that we can construct the zone for train-ferries immediately. Then, networking it squaring the two benches surrounding Mediterranean sea (or, at the very beginning, we could use another ferry working in Mediterranean Sea). Following it, we would plan to build the out-coming port in Strait of Gibraltar. I think: the sciences and technologies we applied in Wars such as nuclear power can associate us greatly for energy-providing and to open the mountains, link the waters build the high-speed railways and run the trains; UAV technology, field-investigations and GPS - sharing the information produced by them in globalized panel would make much clear topography of this era for our constructions hand in hand. After this step, Mandeb Strait, even third to Hormuz Strait ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz), could also be supplemental designed as part of this networking system - the second-staged dam of logistics to relax the stress. In the not-far future, We also need to arrange the timetables well for the professional passing-by of each country. Imagining, in our carefully-planned 'tomorrow': A message reported from the inputted port - A train of Australian kangaroos want to travel to Southern America for exchanging, searching new settlements and contribute to the globalized bio-diversity. In Australian high-speed train-ferry, its train has been inputted in our inputted port, which will be travelling throughout our system; then, will be still shipping to southern American.(Oh, please forgive me, this example might be not perfect, just as a vision. I knew the medicine of a train of Kangaroos, during a long-trip, is a much hard job, and the kangaroos can move and are alive.). After 1 minute, the port in Strait of Gibraltar knew it; and after half day, high-speed train arrived in the out-coming port. Afterwards, they began to travel again. The very great thing is: rather than before, during this procedure, they can taste the grass from Fauna of Africa as their lunches. As a return, fresh kangaroos' milk would have been made into the products to serve the local people - everyone is willing to have a try. During its time, there was also one hour left that Egyptian children were willing to visit them in children's day. I thought this idea would relax the stress of not only here but also the whole world.

Alongside the professionalized three part of this kind of 'Binary Train-ferry system and its internal network', would we provide the infrastructures for several Exclusive Economic Zones and several Non-blocked Common Trading Areas set surrounding them? In them, local people can make the businesses with the peoples all around the world. The happiness of life would be shared by the powers of the transportation and our materialised economy. The constructions of these infrastructures can also provide the supplies for navigations furthermore. Could it be possible to relax the 'stress' and make the forgiveness of our past by together facing a new 'tomorrow'? Etc. Our classmates, learners, scholars, and researchers - our dears - we can make the proposals and research projects by following this line. 'Knowledge in our mind is the power to keep the sustainability, the friendship, the peace of our world'.

Making the engines, boosters and 'header' for moving the whole Africa to south[edit source]

Do you remember 'Plate tectonics theory', especially the part named 'Continental drift'? (Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_drift) Every time reviewing this theory, I think: the surface of our world is a huge portfolio composing several plates. In the very-very-far future, could we build several huge engines for Africa's travelling toward much southern direction? Do you think there it should be a very huge space existing in front of its south, which we knew so little about? Why did this idea have the possibilities to be realized? 'Three points linking out one line' almost make a boundary between this ancient continent and others both in geography and in cultures. Could we entirely move it towards south for keeping its natural development and its safety? This pathway is turned another side that we can borrow the knowledge from Space-physics (I thought this subject should not always be watching outwards, but somewhat on our internal geographical changes; just the object is much huger than before), ecology, and dynamics. We can make a 'channel' for Africa's travelling towards certain direction, of which the angle will have been carefully calculated. Powers can be given in the three boosters given by the nuclear power and the huge internal energy would be motivated out by the engines set in several parts such as Rift Valley (General introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rift_valley). Africa is a single continent looked as a single island drifting upon mantle. If we give a direction of its drifting according to our arrangement, the nature of this continent can be kept and developed according to its transcendentalist law and much more beauties of this civilization would be explored by local peoples themselves. We can imagine a stable, safe, peaceful and sustainable Africa would come in the far-future, which will be not disturbed by other issues. 'What we get from Africa, some days, would need us to return back'. Some students, who have the interests in this field, could make the deigns of this huge 'machine'.

Terrains, landforms, vertical distribution of the natural belts and their climate-reflections[edit source]

We knew that: here, threading the longitude, solar power, heats, streams, and humidity have been distributed variously - topical desserts' belt, topical forest belt, sub-topical belt - Mediterranean climate and monsoonal climate etc. Meanwhile, extending alongside the dimension, we can see '4 seasons' in one mountain, or, see most species of animals when travelling through river. So beautiful! However, if you ask me what a series of problem are still confessing us and worth of researching and exploring? I would like to say: the treatment of Sahara's desertification and its solar power's exploration. Would this huge project happiness our peoples? However, how could us plan this project more detailed by shift other countries' successful experiences? (1) Exploding the southern mountains and leading the streams of humidity into this area; (2) South-North Water Transfer Project in Africa; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South%E2%80%93North_Water_Transfer_Project But this time, we would dig the canals firstly linking the system of Congo rives with the system of Nile rivers through the constructions of the lay-up-dams and water-banks. Rising up water layer by layer with the supports of other associating waters could help us borrow Congo system's water to better Nile system' situation and Niger system's situation. In the second stage, integrating Nile system with Niger system could enable us make more explorations to join the powers of the topical waters together to creatively benefit much large area in sub-topical areas with the drought. Finally, we can make a canal directly inserted into the middle of Sahara. With the (1) step's helps, Sahara would be changed into the garden with flowers and green leaves.

Hoping we-the learners of universities, more academic organizations and more institutions would apply our knowledge to innovate more for the development and the peace of Africa.

Furthermore, facing topically and sub-topically natural belts, what do you think they can be professionalized as? Have you forgotten USA' senses of professionalizing 'farming zones' according to the local situations such as terrains and climates - the part 'Farm type or majority enterprise type of its introduction:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_the_United_States) can show their achievements: The thinking patterns of intensive farming shaped the growths of special species of plants into certain divided zones such as 'Corn, turkeys, tomatoes, potatoes, peanuts, and sunflower seeds'; then, we can apply the systematic and professionalized managements of them easily. This time, we didn't need to cut down the forests or fire the grass, but based on their distributions. The thinking's shift from destroying to cultivating would make us eco-friendly. Every divided zone, we can select several important species of agricultural plants and animals, research their genetic advantages which make them suitable to live in topical forests or grasslands. Following this vision, forests would be like the skyscrapers which have multiple-floors, people would climb among them as the spider-men up and down, while, the robots can also be applied to collect the fruits, as... as monkeys. Meanwhile, on the grasslands and Sahara Garden, the developing zones for professionalized protections of wide animals such as zebra, giraffes, lions, and elephants etc. , you can find they are running freely. Here, we also need to change our thinking way to deal with the extinct animals from 'the traditional protection' to re-merging into our postmodernist huge family as the members. Through researching the DNAs and making the genetic engineering, we have already known which parts can help them to suit the new life today. Afterwards, the careful plans for better their lives have been made out, in which they can contribute to our family's growth and also need to take some responsibilities for our earth. Take an example, what do you think about the milk of zebra? lion's hairs? elephant's continuously growing teeth? (after we made certain changes of their DNA). All in all, the dying animals will stop the extinction but re-join our huge family. They will not be the disadvantaged group but the members in our family freely living and existing - rights and responsibilities would join together on their shoulders which they will have the abilities to take.

Could you hear the wind-voice from Cape of Good Hope[edit source]

(Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_of_Good_Hope)

Standing on Cape of Good Hope, we can feel about the power of wind from three sides. The next would make us to think: how could we make good usage of wind's power? ... Have you forgotten offshore wind power 'farming' and 'producing' the electricity for the surrounding countries in North Sea, especially UK, Holland, etc. (Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_wind_power)

Questions come out: Could we carry and bring the technique from Offshore wind power farms to here? Can it benefit the sustainability of local people's development?

To explore the underworld[edit source]

Don't forget there is another legend in Africa waiting us continuously researching - Rift Valley (Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rift_valley) Is there a 'garden' existing underground as another Atlantis? (Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis) Could we collect some special pieces of DNAs still kept from the past? Could we recover them? Could we colon them? Could we be very lucky to find some ancient species living still? Could academy associate us to find a channel making the fictional adventures of underworld as what the legends, novels and films imagining? (Resource: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea)

Here and now, research stories in both theoretical constructions and practical explorations, in terms of this topography and in terms of the beautiful tomorrows of African peoples there haven't been stopped, but merely another new beginning.

Dears, no matter what kind of contributions you can creatively made in our 'university', share your ideas and your experiences here.

Transforming the powers from wars to be the powers of peace and spreading our academic abilities out against evils, though we are weak and soft somehow, hand in hand, tomorrow would be better than we had thought before!
