Homo sapiens

July 24th.

Li Qingye left the Luzon Islands and came to a manor on the Shan State Plateau to escape the summer heat.

Sanchi Badalayar came over with a piece of matcha ice cream: "Sir, lunch time is almost here."

Li Qingye, who was engrossed in reading an internal briefing, still looked at his laptop: "What do you want to eat?"

“Cantonese-style roast goose, deep-fried mealworms, stir-fried bitter melon with eggs, stir-fried celery with cashew nuts and shrimps, creamy mushroom pasta, braised money ham with coriander mushrooms…”

"There's also passion fruit juice, soda water and lotus mist," Sanchi Badalayar added.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's my honor." Sanji Badaliyar's cheeks turned slightly red.

Not a moment.

Li Qingye finished his morning work.

Food is already set on the dining table.

Sanji Badaliyar turned on the TV again and played the rock climbing competition on the sports channel. She knew that Li Qingye didn't like to watch entertainment programs. His daily entertainment programs were sports and chess.

Just after taking a few bites, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the restaurant.

Sanji Badaliyar's face suddenly showed a trace of displeasure, and he cursed in his heart: 'Which bastard is it again? I come here all day long when my husband is eating! ’

The next second, a middle-aged man with a rough face appeared at the door of the restaurant.

"gentlemen."

"Baghira, sit down! Do you have anything else to report?" Li Qingye said while picking up vegetables. He was used to this kind of life.

Bagheira, who was sitting on a wooden chair on one side, quickly reported some relatively confidential internal and external information concisely.

"Just three hours ago, through the mediation of America, Tianzhu and Xiba reached an agreement on the issue of the Croatian region."

Li Qingye paused with his chopsticks, then smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not just America who is behind this, right?"

"Sir, you are very good at predicting the situation. Other powers also secretly contributed a lot." Bagheira nodded.

"Not expected."

"The second thing is that there are also secret talks on the Kiev war, and the secret talks are in Hamburg."

Li Qingye was not surprised and continued to pick up a piece of roast goose and put it into his mouth.

"The third thing is that the Europa Commonwealth, the Kingdom of Judah, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have reached an agreement to complete the laying of onshore oil pipelines in West Asia within the next three years."

"No...."

Bagheira summarized a dozen pieces of relatively important international intelligence and reported them one by one to Li Qingye.

After reporting the international intelligence, he turned to the company's internal intelligence.

"The West Pacific Branch has initially completed the integration and is located at the branch headquarters in the eastern part of East Irian Island."

"The sea rice planting area of ​​the Suez Branch has reached 2.74 million hectares. It is currently expanding at a rate of 300,000 to 400,000 hectares per month and is expected to reach 5 million hectares by the end of this year."

"The 23 leased ports leased by the Ceylon Ocean Transportation Group on the African coast have completed modernization and plan to complete the laying of submarine optical cables around Africa by June next year."

Li Qingye stopped his chopsticks: "We should also pay attention to the submarine optical cables in South America."

Bagheira nodded quickly: "Understood. After I return, I will let the Communications Division focus on the laying of submarine optical cables in South America."

Then he continued to report: "As of July 24, the company's total number of new human employees has reached 371,458,803, and the number of natural employees is 612,337,520."

"Has it reached this much already?"

"Because the age structure of our employees is relatively young overall, with young adults accounting for about 68%, minors accounting for 19%, and people over 60 years old accounting for only 13%, the proportion of new employees will continue to expand. potential."

Li Qingye knew this clearly.

Now at the headquarters of Homo sapiens Company in Southeast Asia, the proportion of new human employees is very high.

The regional branches with a relatively low proportion of new human employees are the recently established Dongba Branch, Suez Branch and Motor Island Branch.

In addition, natural workers who have just immigrated will also need a certain amount of time to transform.

Bagheira also shared some other inside information.

Including the Space Division's La project, the Dandelion project, and the Homo sapiens space station to be built in the near future.

There are also gamma-ray turrets and gamma-ray armed satellites jointly developed by the External Security Division and the Science Division, and experimental models have also been launched.

"...Recently, the 8092 Laboratory under the Science Division discovered a brand new material while testing the gamma ray lightning generation model."

Li Qingye suddenly became interested: "New material?"

"It's a special lead-tungsten alloy."

"Jasmine, help me retrieve the internal papers of the 8092 laboratory."

Sanchi Badaliyar nodded: "Okay, sir."

Since it is worthy of Bagheira to report to him personally, then this new material must have extraordinary properties.

Soon Sanchi Badalayar called up the catalog of papers from the 8092 laboratory, and Li Qingye first scanned the summary of the papers.

After reading the summary of the paper, he knew why Baghila specifically reported this matter.

This lead-tungsten gold alloy material has very high strength and hardness, but this is not the point. After all, there are materials with better strength and hardness inside Homo sapiens.

The focus is on the thermoelectric conversion properties of this material, which has an astonishing thermoelectric conversion efficiency of 82%.

This conversion efficiency has completely exceeded the current thermal efficiency limit of human power generation.

We must know that the best heat engine currently used by mankind is undoubtedly the supercritical gas turbine of Siemens, whose maximum thermal efficiency can reach 61%.

The thermal efficiency of a heat engine can theoretically reach 70%. However, the theoretical figure is often difficult to achieve.

"Lightning pseudo-crystal?" Li Qingye carefully read the papers of 8092 Laboratory and finally revealed the true nature of this material.

The so-called quasi-crystal is actually a special material between crystal and amorphous. This kind of material is very rare in nature.

It can often only be synthesized through high temperature, high pressure and certain specific conditions. Its harsh generation conditions are somewhat similar to submetallic hydrogen.

But when he saw the proportions of the materials, he frowned.

Lead 52.3%, tungsten 26.2%, gold 21.5%.

In this element ratio, lead and tungsten are not a big problem, but the key is the 21.5% gold.

He continued to read, and 8092 Laboratory obviously knew that gold, as a raw material, would cause costs to soar, so they tried to use other cheaper elements to replace gold.

However, in 1274 substitution and subtraction experiments, no element can perfectly replace gold.

For every 1% decrease in the proportion of gold, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency decreases by 8% to 12%.

Once the gold proportion falls below 15.4%, the material's thermoelectric conversion efficiency will drop below 5%.

This means that gold is basically an integral part of the material.

Li Qingye fell into deep thought.

The thermal efficiency is 82%. After three layers of lamination, the thermal efficiency can reach 99.41%. This thermal efficiency is too tempting.

But among the materials, the 21.5% gold is indeed very expensive.

The pros and cons of this must be carefully considered. Li Qingye also understood Bagheila's thoughts at this time.

This is obviously because the Science Division knew that it could not make the decision, so it entrusted Bagheira to report this matter to him.

If it were other precious metals, Li Qingye would approve it without hesitation, but the situation of gold was special.

After all, gold is the most intuitive collateral for the gold dollar. If too much is withdrawn at once, it will lead to instability of the gold dollar.

Whether it is worthwhile to readjust the currency system for a new material can only be decided by Li Qingye.

He thought for a while and gave a few instructions to Sanji Badalayar.

Then we had lunch.
