Homo sapiens.

Thousands of kilometers away on the subway, the man in glasses laughed at himself, thinking too much, so he quickly threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.

But apart from the possibility of importing the underground railway, he couldn't think of other possibilities.

It's also a conundrum plaguing intelligence agencies around the world.

Hongshawadi and Dongba, who are most likely to import food and supplies into Assam, have been carefully analyzed several times by major intelligence agencies, but still no problems have been found.

Obviously, the self-sufficiency rate of the Assam branch is difficult for the outside world to understand.

It seems that the population of 5500 million is a lot, but the more than 300 underground bases before the Assam branch can absorb a population of 1200 million.

The current expansion project is expected to increase the number of underground bases to more than 2400 within half a year, achieving the upper limit of the underground population of [-] million.

At the same time, the secret underground city (part of which is a doomsday base) hidden in the western mountainous area of ​​Hongshawadi can also accommodate a population of 800 to 1200 million.

On the surface, Zhuyu can accommodate a population of 300 million, and the underground base currently being expanded in Zhuyu can also accommodate a population of 500 million.

The rest of the population has established small villages in various mountainous areas.

By the end of this year, each small mountain village will build its own underground town one after another, and then go underground in an all-round way.

Assam's current grain reserves are partly based on the previous confiscation. About 1473 million tons of grain have been confiscated from the private sector. In addition to the 262 million tons of grain stored in various underground bases by the Assam branch, it is actually enough for such a large population. Been taking it for 18 months.

Each base itself can also produce food and various foods.

At present, the grain self-sufficiency rate of the Assam branch is about 31%, and it will increase to about 50% in June and 90% by the end of the year.

And this self-sufficiency rate is actually calculated on the basis of a population of 5500 million.

But in fact, there are about 1100 million people in the Assam branch living in the western mountains of Hongshawady, and this part of the population is supported by the Hongshawadi branch.

In other words, at the end of this year, the Assam branch actually has no pressure to support a population of 4400 million.

There is no need to import food from Hongshawadi at all.

Especially the dozens of bases near the Assam Oil and Gas Basin use the extracted gas to build dark plantations underground, which not only achieves self-sufficiency in food, but also produces a large amount of meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits .

The bases in mountainous areas are adapted to local conditions, such as underground hydropower for those with oil shale, and gas-fired power for those with oily shale.

If there is nothing in the hard place, don't expand the scale, just maintain the status quo for the time being.

From the outside, it seems that Assam has abandoned agricultural production. In fact, Assam's agricultural development is very fast.

After all, the production efficiency of organic matter such as starch and sucrose in the crops in the dark plantation is more than ten times that of conventional photosynthesis.

This means that under the same conditions, the production efficiency of indoor agriculture without light will be more than ten times higher than that of traditional indoor agriculture with light.

For the underground Assam branch, this kind of light-free indoor agriculture solves the shortage of underground space and improves energy utilization.

Chapter 257 The Confession ([-])

With the unanimous truce between Tianzhu and Assam.

In the control area of ​​the Assam branch, the construction of various infrastructures is also being accelerated.

The Yunshan base at the junction of the Darjeeling region and the Zhemeng Xiong state.

As the engineer presses the detonation button.

In an instant, there were dense low-pitched explosions from the inside of the mountain not far away, and then most of the mountain passed towards the canyon like a flood.

About half an hour later, the bottom of the valley was filled by landslides, forming a mud-rock embankment with a width of 200-400 meters and a height of 80-120 meters.

The river that flowed from the bottom of the valley before was also cut off by the mud-rock dam at this time, and the water level in the upper reaches was slowly rising, forming a barrier lake here.

If there is no human intervention, then this summer, due to rainfall and melting glaciers, the river will surge, and the muddy rock dam will eventually be washed away.

The Yunshan base was naturally prepared for the possibility of a dam failure in the future.

Wu Fang, a bio-engineering engineer, entered the activation command at the console engineer, and a large number of genetically recombined termites appeared in a large number of hollow pipes that had been buried in the valley in advance.

This gene-recombined termite is chimerized with genes such as coral polyps and lichens, and can be very good at building underground facilities.

Wufang can control these engineered termites to construct the required underground buildings in a directional way through biological computers and pheromone equipment.

"Xintu, try it."

The young man on one side hurried forward and manipulated the engineering termites to build underground structures.

As a trainee engineer, Xintu is still a rookie. Although he has studied civil engineering at the University of Delhi, he is still a rookie in the new human system.

As for why he "turned to" the new humans, Xin Tu was also desperate.

He once naively thought that if he studied hard, he could change his destiny.

He was born in Darjeeling, not those black Tianzhu people, nor white Tianzhu people, but Huang Tianzhu people. This identity has brought him a lot of trouble.

Even after finishing college and finding a job that can barely make ends meet, his family has not improved much. After all, he owed a lot of loans to support his studies.

And when he thought of those students from Brahmin and Kshatriya backgrounds, they could easily win at the starting line, Xintu admitted that he was envious and jealous.

Xin Tu, who happened to meet at the meeting, just returned to Darjeeling to visit his parents, and the family was dragged to Yunshan Base.

At the beginning, he was still in panic, until a few days ago, he saw the news that the Tianzhu army had returned in a bad way in the internal news. Coupled with what he had seen and heard at the base these days, Xintu made a decision.

He voluntarily stated his identity and major in civil engineering to the block manager of Yunshan Base, hoping to join Assam.

For this kind of person who took the initiative to seek refuge and had relatives in the controlled area, the base did not refuse, but gave him a job as an intern construction engineer.

After joining the construction company, Xin Tu has gone through a few days of rapid training, and now, as Wu Fang's assistant and apprentice, participates in the construction of the underground hydropower station at the Yunshan Base.

He manipulated the interface of the biological computer to build a real dam. If the engineering termites and the biological computer were to perform the construction task rigidly, not only would the speed be much slower, but some structural defects would also appear.

Therefore, in this process, construction engineers need to monitor and adjust, which is Xintu's job at this time.

And Wu Fang is the designer of the Yunshan Dam, and at this time he is supervising the construction of the stepped culvert of the underground hydropower station.

The Yunshan Dam is basically hidden under the mud-rock embankment, and now engineering termites build microstructures from the bottom up little by little.

This kind of building built with engineering termites has no steel bars, only a special structural layer similar to coral reefs. Its rigidity is sufficient, but its toughness is not enough, and the structural layer is easily broken during an earthquake.

Therefore, enough micro-pipes must be left inside the dam body to accommodate repair bacteria, or engineering termites can enter it for secondary repair.

Xintu inspected the completed area very carefully.

He was busy for two hours, and a prompt popped up on the computer page.

[Engineering termites have been working for 2 hours, and now they are starting to rest and eat. ]

Xintu entered the command and agreed to rest and supplement food for the engineered termites. He also made himself a cup of Darjeeling black tea.

The tea industry in Darjeeling is one of the few surface agriculture that has been preserved. After all the tea is collected, it is all supplied to the Assam branch for internal use.

Considering that the engineering termites had to rest for an hour, he came out of the underground bunker, and the engineering control room was set up inside the mountain without landslides on the other side of the dam.

Through the elevator, he went up to the ground.

At this time, Xintu's location was in the middle of the mountain forest. When the elevator came out, it was a disguised cave, and walked out from the cave.

Walking out of the cave, there is an alpine evergreen broad-leaved forest outside.

Standing on a large rock, he could see the valley in the distance and the muddy rock dam close at hand.

In the forest surrounded by mountains, it was the first time for Xintu to enjoy this kind of natural scenery quietly, and his heart was extremely peaceful.

That kind of tranquility is not because of the tranquility of the mountains, nor because of the washing of insects and birds, but a kind of tranquility from the depths of the heart.

There is no need to face loan pressure, no need to worry about the birth, old age, illness and death of parents, no need to worry about not having a job, and no need to worry about starving to death on the street someday.

As long as he is willing to work for the company, the company will arrange everything for him.

At this moment, he realized.

What is life for?

Is it to be a cow or a horse?

yes!People like him can only be treated like cows and horses.

That being the case, why didn't he choose a good boss?Before he had no choice, now the opportunity is in front of him.

Xintu would rather wash dishes in Homo sapiens company than go back to Tianzhu to be a civil engineer. During his time in Homo sapiens company, he felt happy, peaceful and fulfilled.

As long as the company can maintain the current benefits, he is willing to work for the company for the rest of his life, and he doesn't care about the requirement of implanting biochips.

After all, implanting a biochip means that he has entered the new human class of Homo sapiens, and it also means that he can easily find many companions who can be trusted unconditionally.

People always like to hug together to keep warm.

But people like to be suspicious.

This kind of contradictory behavior is the source of internal conflicts that are prone to break out in human groups.

At the moment of becoming a new human, although Xintu surrendered a large part of his privacy, it also means that he can form a nearly mutually transparent social world with other new human beings.

Feeling the unity and friendliness within the new human beings, his mind has also undergone a bit of transformation in the process.

This is why Xintu's heart at this moment can be extremely peaceful.

Having a companion that can be trusted unconditionally will inevitably give the companion unprecedented courage and strength, because they have no worries, so they are fearless.

In Xintu's peaceful heart, a flame was burning fiercely.

"If this is the future of mankind, then what is there to fear in death."

"Looking at life again?" Wu Fang leaned on the pines and cypresses not far away, smoking the cigars he brought from Hongshawadi.

Xintu looked at the misty mountains in the distance: "Only when people understand each other can the world be saved."

Chapter 258 The Confession ([-])

Wu Fang was not too surprised when he heard Xin Tu talking to himself, and he didn't express any opinions.

Because of this situation, it is very common in the new human group inside the Homo sapiens company.

Even the psychological counseling office has specifically studied this phenomenon and called it the "bottom rebound effect".

The so-called "bottom rebound effect" means that after human beings have completely opened their hearts to other people, they no longer have privacy, so they will become more moral and orderly, and at the same time release their good nature.

After all, in this kind of almost transparent society, there is no way to hide bad things, and there is no way to hide good things.

Under these circumstances, would you choose to do something bad?Or will you choose to do good?

The vast majority of people will definitely choose to do good deeds, because by doing so, they will gain the approval of others and think that you are worth associating with.

If you choose to do bad things, the new humans around you will definitely despise, alienate and isolate this person, and the company will also punish you.

In this way, the group of villains within the new human beings will not only be suppressed to a minimum, but also have nowhere to hide, ensuring the purity of the interior.

When people who have just joined the new human race adapt to this transparent society, they will change a little bit, and then a situation similar to Xintu will appear.

Such people can easily become fanatical converts. They have unconditional trust in the company, eager to bring the whole world into the company's system, and then build a transparent society to achieve permanent peace.

According to a survey by the Ministry of the Interior, the percentage of fanatical converts to the New Humanity is very high, reaching 31%.

Another 45% are firm believers, who also aspire to a transparent society and permanent peace, but they are not in a state of fanaticism.

The remaining 24% are rational people. This part of the group belongs to the high-skilled new human beings. They look at problems more rationally. Although they are promoting the development of the company, they have some ideas of their own.

These are the three major groups within the new human race.

Of course, although there are some differences, it does not affect their division of labor and mutual trust. After all, the ideas of some of them will also change over time.

For example, Wu Fang, he is a firm believer.

Now Xintu is a convert.

After half an hour of wind blowing outside, Wu Fang and Xin Tu returned to work.

Busy until the evening, the employees in charge of the evening shift came to change shifts.

Xintu boarded the small train and returned to District 6 of Yunshan Base City along the tunnel.

District 6 of Yunshan Base City can accommodate a population of 3.2. It is about 7.7 kilometers away from Yunshan Dam. There are hot springs underground around it, so a geothermal power station was dug here.

District 6 is divided into three functional blocks, namely: upper block, lower block, and east block.

The train stopped at the station in District 6. Xintu and a group of employees who lived here got off the carriage.

The imitation sun in the station square is also in the position of the sunset.

On the other side of the station, many elevators are running up and down. There are three types of elevators, namely passenger elevators, freight elevators, and special elevators.

At this moment, three freight elevators opened the elevator door, and the self-driving small transport vehicle, pulling bamboo boxes full of vegetables and fruits, drove towards the food street in the lower block.
