Homo sapiens.

Otherwise, with only agricultural resources and insufficient energy resources, it will be an order of magnitude more difficult for Southeast Asia to develop without being coerced by external forces.

After Li Qingye completed this experiment, he boarded his small cruise ship and returned to Luzon Island.

In the south of Luzon Island, there is also a secret base drilling for igneous rock reservoirs.

Due to the need to guard against satellites in the sky, the dome steel structure can only be used to cover the mining location, which has caused an increase in costs invisibly.

But this cover-up is very necessary.

Li Qingye does not plan to use the biodegradation mining technology publicly, at least not in the short term.

After all, energy is the foundation of American Knife. If this technology is exposed, then America will definitely come to snatch it.

Before the hydrogen bomb was developed and enough hydrogen bombs were stored, he did not intend to confront America head-on.

Therefore, we can only use the dome steel structure to cover, and then use the methane fermentation plant as a cover, both of which produce methane anyway.

As long as it is covered up in the early stage and the output is controlled, the outside world will not notice the problem all at once.

In addition, the gas produced by Homo sapiens is mostly used in its own industries, such as engineering vehicles, transport vehicles, industrial boilers, and power generation.

This kind of usage data, the outside world will not notice the abnormality for a while, and Homo sapiens can completely "reduce" the data on paper in a planned way.

Homo sapiens still maintains a relatively conservative attitude in many matters, the purpose is to have a relatively stable external environment before consolidating.

Li Qingye presided over the secret development of rock oil in Luzon.

And on the other side is Hongsawady.

It is strengthening the secret exploration of oil and gas, as well as shale oil and igneous rock oil exploration.

However, the core energy source of Hongshawadi is actually hydropower.

After more than a year of development, the three major groups headed by Qingye Group have built a large number of small and medium hydropower stations in Hongshawadi.

In particular, the Shan State Plateau, which has a very large drop, is a key hydropower development area in Hongshawadi.

However, the hydropower in Hongshawadi has its own characteristics.

That is, small and medium-sized hydropower stations are the mainstay, and energy storage reservoirs are densely populated, and only support local power grids.

At present, Shanbei Hydropower Grid, Shandong Hydropower Grid, Shanxi Hydropower Grid, Shannan-Kaya Hydropower Grid, Chin State-Rakhine Hydropower Grid, Chin State-Sagaing Hydropower Grid, and Kachin Hydropower Grid have been formed.

These seven hydropower grids account for 97% of the hydropower generation in Hongshawadi. The current total installed capacity is 1.72 megawatts, and the annual power generation is between 1100 billion and 1300 billion kwh.

In addition, the installed capacity of the energy storage reservoir is about 2500 MW, which can store and recover 110 billion to 130 billion kWh of electric energy every year.

While vigorously promoting the hydropower strategy.

The number of thermal power stations in Hongshawadi has also increased a lot.

The Delinthary-Mon State-Karen thermal power grid, the Irrawaddy-Yangon-Bago thermal power grid, the Pinmana-Maguih thermal power grid, and the Mandalay-Sagaing thermal power grid have been formed.

The four major thermal power grids all use gas-fired power generation, with a total installed capacity of 8300 megawatts and an annual power generation of about 630 billion to 680 billion kwh.

Obviously, over the past year or so, the development of Hongshawadi's power industry has basically been in a state of rapid development.

We must know that before Homo sapiens company fully controlled Hongshawadi, the installed power generation capacity here was only 3700 megawatts, and the annual power generation was less than 300 billion kwh.

At this time, the installed capacity has increased to 2.8 MW, and the annual power generation has reached 1840 billion to 2110 billion kWh.

Almost doubled 6-7 times.

With enough electricity, there is energy to support modern industry.

……

As an engineer of Dongfeng Electric Company, You Xing was dispatched by the company to Hongshawadi.

He was busy at a medium-sized hydropower station at this time, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Phew, it's really hot here."

"You worker, drink some lemon tea." The local intern Mao Hao came over with a large box of iced lemon tea.

Unceremoniously, You Xing picked up a bottle of lemon tea directly: "This equipment has been adjusted."

After unscrewing the tinplate cap, he quickly drank half a bottle of lemon tea, and then sat in the rest area blowing the fan.

Other engineers or technicians are resting and chatting.

Ding Ye, who followed him, was having a lively chat with Mao Hao, You Xing knew very well what Ding Ye was thinking, if he wasn't too old and didn't want to move anymore, he probably would have that kind of thinking too.

Aoba Electromechanical Co., Ltd. did not miss Dongfeng Electric's corner.

As long as they are engineers and technicians with special skills, willing to work for Qingye Group, and their families immigrate to Hongshawadi, Qingye Group will help you with the naturalization procedures.

When Ding Ye first came here, he had no idea of ​​job-hopping or emigration.

But over time, he and some other young engineers, the mentality began to change.

People are afraid of comparison.

In particular, the benefits of Qingye Group are really very attractive to ordinary young engineers.

You Xing, who is in his 40s, was shocked by this kind of welfare.

The company basically covers basic necessities of life, food, drink, entertainment, birth, old age, sickness and death, and employees only need to work hard for the company with peace of mind.

Non-Qingye Group employees like them who came to do the installation work, apart from no salary, they enjoy a lot of other benefits.

For example, three times overtime pay for overtime work, high temperature subsidies, 5-day travel once a month, rich meals, free medical examinations, and three sets of regular clothes for each of them.

For some otaku-type engineers, they don't even need to consume such benefits at all.

Even playing online games and watching movies, the company can issue special VIPs to employees.

Ding Ye, who is not married, naturally couldn't bear it anymore. With the help of Mao Hao and other local employees, he planned to finish the hydropower station, resign directly from the company, and change jobs to work in Qingye Electromechanical.

And You Xing, who has passed the age of impulsiveness, has already bought a house, married and had children, so he gave up the idea of ​​changing jobs and emigrating.

For the young people's choice, You Xing also has a blessing attitude.

After all, it is human nature to pursue a happy life.

Chapter 177 Transportation ([-])

Hong Shavadi.

The eastern part of Kayin State is the junction of Hongshawadi and Siam, where there is a border river between the two countries-Dangweng River.

The river is also one of the tributaries of the Salween.

Before the Dangweng River was a boundary river, Qingye Group only dredged it to allow the upper limit of its ships to reach the 500-1000-ton class.

It's different now.

Because Siam has become the control area of ​​Sapiens Corporation, the boundary river naturally exists in name only.

The river channel, which had already been secretly explored, was blocked by a large amount of earthwork at this time, and the river was temporarily diverted to another location.

After the earthwork was blocked, a large number of excavators and transport vehicles were busy on the evacuated part of the river.

The Dang Weng River Dam is at the heart of the project.

After Liu Zhifan and Wu Nan cut the ribbon for the following, they were interviewed by the TV stations of the two places respectively. They were busy until noon before they ate together.

The place where the two of them ate was in the small town of temporary employees of the construction team, on a flattened mountain platform, standing on it overlooking the entire construction site.

"Although it is a temporary town, the infrastructure and service facilities are quite complete." After Wu Nan finished speaking, he picked up another chicken chop.

Liu Zhifan smiled: "The company has plans for large-scale engineering projects. This kind of project requires thousands of employees. There is no problem in building a new town. Anyway, here will also need to build a city in the future."

Since there were no other outsiders in the private room of the two of them, Wu Nan spoke more freely. He looked at the river construction site outside the floor-to-ceiling windows:

"The project is planned for three years, isn't it too late?"

"Don't rush, we have used new technologies, such as coral cement that does not require much maintenance, and iron-bamboo steel wire composite reinforcement, and the most important crack repair technology."

Wu Nan frowned, and put down the fork in his hand: "Another new technology?"

Su Jincheng, the chief engineer of the project, introduced to Wunan: "Well, during the construction process, even if there is no rush, cracks are common problems, especially for integrated dams, cracks are almost inevitable. question."

"And our coral cement is no exception. Although the maintenance can be reduced, cracks will still appear. Because in recent years, we have hurriedly launched a lot of hydropower stations, many dams have a lot of cracks due to improper construction."

Su Jincheng paused, took a sip of water:

"Therefore, the headquarters has developed a set of special crack repair technology in response to this problem. The core principle of this technology is to use genetically modified fungi, plus a special silicate and calcium solution, to allow the genetically modified fungi to grow in the cracks, and then form a bond. extremely strong calcium-silicon layer."

Wu Nan is very interested in this technology: "Does this technology also have the effect of repairing cracks in old reinforced concrete buildings?"

"Yes, as long as it is a crack-type damage, it can be quickly repaired in this way. Its bonding strength is much higher than that of the original concrete structure. After all, this is a molecular-level bonding." Su Jincheng nodded.

Liu Zhifan even said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that the unit cost is 2.7 times that of concrete and there is a risk of leakage, the company would have planned to use this method to build buildings."

"It's not bad. The combination of coral cement and iron-bamboo-steel wire composite reinforcement allows us to build quickly. In fact, three years is the time for installing hydraulic turbines, ship locks and other equipment in the later stage. The main body of the building only takes about 18 months." Su Jincheng added. road.

"Does it only take 18 months? This speed is really too fast, and technology is indeed the primary productive force." Wu Nan sighed.

You need to know the real data of the Dangweng River Dam, but there is a big discrepancy with the data they announced on the TV station.

The entire Dangweng River Dam adopts a gravity dam design. The length of the dam body is 1832 meters, and the height of the dam crest is 156 meters. It is a smaller Three Gorges Dam.

Its maximum water storage height is 132 meters, and its daily water storage height is 100 meters.

This is not the most critical point, the most critical is the navigable ship lock on one side of the dam, which is designed as a double-line 4-level ship lock, and the upper limit of the maximum passing ship is 2 tons (1000 standard container ships).

But the two announced the figures on the TV station, but the tonnage of the largest passing ship was only 3000 tons.

Obviously this is deliberately concealing from the outside world.

The reason for this is mainly to reduce external pressure.

Because the upper reaches of the Dang Weng River and the largest tributary of the Chao Phraya River in Siam - the Bin River, the minimum distance between the two is less than 20 kilometers, only separated by a low mountain in the Thanoin Thawong Mountains.

After the dredging of the river is completed in the future, as long as this mountain is dug, the two rivers can be directly connected.

At that time, the voyage of ships below 3600 tons from Yangon to Bangkok and Chiang Mai will be shortened from 4200 to 700 kilometers to 1000 to [-] kilometers.

This is why Liu Zhifan specially invited Wu Nan over.

If the navigable capacity of the entire canal is to reach the upper limit of 2 tons, Siam must also simultaneously transform the Chao Phraya River so that it can be seamlessly connected.

As for why the Kra Canal was not dug.

The main reason is that it is not necessary now, and there is also huge external pressure.

The existence of the Strait of Malacca itself involves intricate interests and strategies.

Once the Clark Canal is excavated, it will definitely attract the attention of America, and Xingdao will even be directly hostile to the Clark Canal.

Therefore, at this stage, the Kra Canal is not necessary.

After all, Homo sapiens has now controlled Malaysia, at least a quarter of the sovereignty of Malacca.

Siam is connected to Hongshawadi by land, and can connect Luzon and Malaysia by sea, so the Kra Canal does not need to be too anxious.

On the contrary, the Dang Weng River-Chao Phraya Canal is more important, because it can promote the integration of Hongsawady and Siam, and drive economic development along the route.

After all, this canal connects the northern inland of Siam, making the Thanointhaung Mountains, which originally blocked the traffic between the two sides, a smooth road.

The Daang Weng River dam is now being built to dredge the upper river, and the Chao Phraya River dam in Siam is for the final connection of the two rivers.

After Wu Nan knew about the plan, his expression was both excited and apprehensive:

"Mr. Liu, there is no problem with dredging the dam and the river, but it is easy for the eyes of the sky to see the part of the mountain range that is excavated in the Nyainthawong Mountains."

"Don't worry! They won't see it." Liu Zhifan replied confidently.

Wu Nan's eyes widened: "How can it not be detected? Even if it is covered with camouflage cloth, the satellite can detect the abnormality through the reflection band."

Liu Zhifan wiped his mouth, pushed the dinner plate aside, and then patted Wu Nan on the shoulder: "Let's go over to the site together next month to have a look, and tomorrow the construction team will go over to check the site."

"Mr. Liu really likes to show off." Wu Nan was tickled.

Liu Zhifan shook his head: "Seeing is believing, and you may be confused by the specific technical principles."

"Okay! Then I'll wait and see."

The group rested overnight in the employee town, and returned to their respective posts the next day.

And the other side.

The sky had just turned white, and the special engineering team, which had already packed up its equipment, boarded a dozen small 500-ton transport ships and headed towards the upper reaches of the Dangweng River.

Although it is the dry season, the Dang Weng River can still allow 500-ton ships to sail after dredging.

That low mountain ridge is in the middle of the upper reaches.
