东革阿里--世界上最有价值的新植物
在过去 500 年的人类历史上，曾有一些时候，现在被视为第三世界 “篮子 ”的国家实际上是财富的 “篮子”。
有时，这些财富篮子是自己管理的，有时，受益者是殖民国家。
但无论如何，这些财富都是由极具价值的植物创造的。
例如，加勒比地区。
18 世纪下半叶，海地是世界上最富裕的地方之一，这主要归功于蔗糖的生产。
在谷歌上搜索 “海地最富裕的殖民地 ”这一关键词，就会出现大量证明这一事实的参考资料。
如果你有时间阅读经过深入研究的历史小说，你可能会喜欢詹姆斯-米切纳的《加勒比海》中的主题。
1876 年，英国生物海盗亨利-威克姆（Henry Wickham）将 7 万颗橡胶树种子偷运出巴西，在英国拥有的马来亚建立橡胶种植园。
19 世纪末，亚马逊河流域最大的城市马瑙斯因橡胶树汁液而财源滚滚，有能力建造世界上最豪华的歌剧院之一。
大约 200 年前，即 17 世纪下半叶，印尼香料群岛为当时的荷兰政治力量提供了大量资金。1669 年，荷兰东印度公司（VOC）成为世界上有史以来最富有的公司，拥有一支由 10,000 名士兵组成的私人军队和自己的战舰舰队。
好吧，如果有一天第三世界国家的植物再次创造了财富记录，那么印尼可能会再次在其中扮演重要角色。
但这次不会是橡胶或香料。
因为最有可能的候选者是东革阿里，这种学名为 Eurycoma longifolia 的树拥有神奇的力量，能把人变成阿诺德-施瓦辛格的混血儿、
我建议印尼政府把守好边境，这样，这次就不会再把东革阿里种子走私到巴西......甚至海地了。
