Homo sapiens.

Wang Zidong quickly got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face quickly.

After the two of them got their grooming done, they changed into a more decent set of clothes, and took a taxi to Homo sapiens' recruitment base.

Inside the taxi.

The two had no intention of admiring the bustling street scene of Xiangjiang.

"This time the company wants people to go to Africa to explore the market, so the educational requirements have been relaxed, and even junior high school graduates are required."

"Uncle Liu, will it be dangerous to go to Africa?"

The middle-aged man showed his big white teeth: "There is no danger, where will it be our turn? Wealth and wealth are in danger. There are old and young in my house. In the past, I could go to the construction site to endure hardships. Now there are fewer and fewer real estate projects. Not old, I plan to fight again."

Wang Zidong thought about it, and felt that Uncle Liu's words were reasonable. If he didn't fight while he was young, then when he was old, there would be no hope at all.

The taxi driver in front smiled and said, "You can go to Homo sapiens, you should cherish the opportunity! If I hadn't bought a house in Xiangjiang with a loan, and I haven't paid off the loan yet, I would want to immigrate to Homo sapiens."

"Based on my brother's accent, he's from Chaoshan, right?" Uncle Liu guessed.

The driver nodded: "It's from Puning, my hometown."

"Is Xiangjiang doing well now?" Wang Zidong disapproved.

The driver shook his head: "The past two years have been difficult. Thanks to the influence of Homo sapiens some time ago, a large number of rich people from Southeast Asia went to Xiangjiang to settle down and buy real estate. With the re-export of gold and medicine, Xiangjiang recovered quickly."

Having said that, the driver is still very grateful to Homo sapiens.

In other words, most of the migrant workers have a good impression of Homo Sapiens.

Now many companies have to increase their salaries in order to retain talents, and the salaries of ordinary workers in major economies are also rapidly improving.

It won't work if you don't improve.

After all, Homo sapiens company stands there, does not improve the salary, and the workers are not fools, just run away.

Therefore, in order to retain talents and labor force, many enterprises can only improve the treatment, and at the same time, they are also strengthening automated production and reducing the number of ordinary workers.

In the Pearl River Delta region, it is near the water.

It is very close to Southeast Asia, and many people have relatives in Southeast Asia, so they can get the most authentic information.

In the entire Lingnan area, countless young people came to Xiangjiang to apply for jobs.

Among them, those with full-time college and university diplomas can basically pass the primary election.

Those with junior high school diplomas like Wang Zidong and Uncle Liu were naturally not in the first choice, so they were rejected.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the recruitment base.

This is located in the suburbs, Homo sapiens purchased a large piece of land here and built its own recruitment base.

Wang Zidong and Uncle Liu came to the scene and went directly to the recruitment office of the African region. There were not a few people who heard the news. At this time, there were already many people queuing up at the door of the office.

"There are so many people, shouldn't there be a quota limit?" Wang Zidong murmured worriedly.

A young man in front of them turned his head: "Don't worry, there is no limit to the number of people in the African region in the near future. I heard that the company will send 100 million employees to the African region."

"One million? Are you kidding me?" Wang Zidong's throat was dry.

The young man in front smiled and asked, "Are you kidding? Do you know Mada Island?"

"Is that the big island in southeastern Africa?" Uncle Liu scratched his head, recalling the barren geographical knowledge in his brain.

"The island has 59 square kilometers, and now it only has a population of 2700 million, and most of them are low-quality people. The company has no time to dawdle, and plans to directly transform the entire Mada Island with a million employees."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that Homo sapiens has already controlled Mada Island, and it is really necessary to send millions of employees to support the construction of the African region.

At the same time, this is also a test of the ability and willpower of new employees. Although Homo sapiens company claims to have high benefits, it is not a place to raise lazy people.

Nowadays, many new immigrants are usually not arranged in mature development areas, but in pioneering areas, such as Spice Islands, Borneo, Timor City and other areas.

Originally, the population in Southeast Asia is relatively dense, and Homo sapiens developed the African region to relieve part of the population pressure.

The population pressure of Homo Sapiens is mainly due to the rapid urbanization of the population, and the urban infrastructure cannot keep up.

Within Homo sapiens company, there is no such population settlement as the countryside, and the smallest settlement is a small town.

Therefore, the city needs very large supporting facilities.

The African region that is now being developed, plans to immigrate 500 million to 1000 million people in the future.

The agricultural potential of Mada Island can support a population of 5000 million to 8000 million as long as the technology is in place and the development is reasonable.

A group of applicants were discussing in a hurry.

After a while, it was the turn of Wang Zidong, Uncle Liu and others.

The staff asked about family situation, physical condition, personal profile, and key questions about whether they would like to work in the African region for 10 years.

Wang Zidong had already made up his mind, so he directly agreed.

The staff stamped his application form, and then handed it over with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, for joining Homo sapiens."

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Wang Zidong was very excited.

The staff reminded: "By the way, because the infrastructure in the African region is not perfect, family members can temporarily arrange it in Sumatra Island in the Malacca region. In addition, your employee points are calculated as 1.3."

"I understand."

The so-called employee points are actually a reference value for Homo sapiens company to evaluate the level of employees.

However, for doing the same work in Homo sapiens, the points that can be obtained in different regions are different.

For example, in developed areas such as Sing Tao, Manila, and Yangon, the integral calculation parameters are usually multiplied by 0.7; while in underdeveloped areas, the integral will be multiplied by 1.2.

The current 1.3 in the African region is already the highest.

This is also considering that the African region is poor and white, and the conditions are relatively difficult. In order to encourage employees to go, the points calculation parameters have been increased.

After Wang Zidong, Uncle Liu and others were approved for many jobs, they were arranged to have a full physical examination.

This is also one of the functions of the recruitment base.

Usually these new employees will be trained here for about a month, and then sent to the designated area.

This one-month emergency training is very important. After all, Homo Sapiens has many regulations that the outside world does not understand. Some of them seem inconspicuous, but they are very important.

Wang Zidong and others are studying hard in the base.

Chapter 316 Malacca Class

22, April 9.

Bandon Island.

The third shipyard.

In the fully enclosed dock, more than a dozen employees stood in the console at the top, looking at the behemoth under their feet.

Designer Yinuo, engineer Huang Weida and others are in the console right now.

Huang Weida watched the water level in the dock rising, and the hull was slowly floating on the water surface. He showed a gratified expression: "The construction of the Malacca is finally completed."

"Is the first ship really going to be used as a transport ship? It feels like a pity!" Ino was also delighted with the giant ship he designed.

Huang Weida shook his head: "There is no way, the company has enough warships now, and with the production capacity of major shipyards, there is no need to build up warships at all costs."

The warships currently in service of Homo sapiens are:

3 Pacific-class battleships.

There are 13 large Luzon-class amphibious assault ships.

There are 11 Luzon-class amphibious assault ships.

There are 57 Manila-class frigates.

There are 32 Tuna-class attack nuclear submarines.

6 Orca-class strategic nuclear submarines.

另有苏门答腊鳄级登陆舰8艘、虎蟹级气垫船30艘、蓝鲸级补给舰35艘、蓝鲸级特种舰21艘，海犁号航道疏通船1艘。

This scale is already very large, and Homo sapiens will still build 10 to 15 ships every year in the next 20 years or so.

This shipbuilding speed has actually temporarily withdrawn from the wartime mechanism. If the previous wartime mechanism is still followed, the scale of shipbuilding will increase by more than ten times.

After all, Homo sapiens has applied too many new technologies and materials in shipbuilding technology, resulting in a fast shipbuilding speed.

After research and discussion, the headquarters believes that it is necessary to adjust the current production tasks. It is not possible to continue to focus on warships, but to take into account the civilian field.

This is the new ship under the feet of Yinuo, Huang Weida and others-the Malacca.

The Malacca is the first ship of the Malacca class. This ship is a 10-ton container carrier, about the size of a Pacific-class battleship, equipped with three small thorium-based molten salt nuclear reactors.

That's right, the Melaka class transport ships are nuclear powered.

The reason for engaging in nuclear-powered transport ships.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the consumption of oil and natural gas and reduce transportation costs.

On the other hand, in order to reserve enough spare ships for warships, the hull of the Malacca class uses a lot of new materials. Although it is not equipped with armor, its overall performance is still 20-30% higher than that of the aircraft carrier hull.

In other words, Homo sapiens can completely transform the Malacca-class transport ship into a Malacca-class amphibious assault ship, armed escort aircraft carrier, special warship, etc. when necessary.

The purpose of doing this is to reduce the size of warships that are too large to maintain during non-war periods.

At present, the first batch of Malacca-class transport ships has built a total of 4 ships, two of which are launched today, and the other two will be launched in the middle of next month.

After Huang Weida saw that the hull had stabilized, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "The test team is starting to move in."

"receive."

A crane hoisted a specially-made personnel cabin to the deck, and 15 test team employees walked out of the personnel cabin and entered the cockpit of the transport ship.

The other 5 groups of testers also boarded the Malacca one after another.

Soon the dock gates opened.

Two of the three nuclear reactors are operating, with the other serving as a backup.

With the surging power of the reactor, the Malacca slowly left the fully enclosed dock and sailed to the open sea along the waterway.

At this time, inside the Malacca, each group of testers was busy testing whether the ship conformed to the design.

In tests such as driving and energy saving, there is actually no big difference.

But on the Malacca class, the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company recently put forward a new design concept, that is, the tools should be humane, rather than anti-human.

What anti-human designs are there on traditional transport ships?

In Homo sapiens' view, the most anti-human aspect of traditional transport ships lies in their long voyages, especially for ocean-going cargo ships, where the crew spend several months at sea once they go to sea.

It is boring and tasteless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to feel the discomfort, and long-term separation is likely to cause emotional problems between husband and wife, which in turn leads to psychological problems among employees.

Although Homo Sapiens has biochips that can prevent cheating, the company's management also believes that the prevention and treatment of biochips is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. It is too depressing and will still cause mental illness in employees.

Therefore, the company headquarters asked the New Luzon Shipyard to solve this problem in the new generation of transport ships.

The designer of Eno and more than a dozen other ship designers, after several revisions, decided to use the nearly 6000 tons of load saved by the new material hull, and use 3000 tons of it to improve the living facilities of the crew.

At the same time, the New Luzon Shipping Group also stated that it will increase the proportion of female crew members on transport ships to ensure that both husband and wife can be on the same ship.

At this time, one of the testers was testing the living facilities on the ship.

Including kitchen, dining room, refrigerated warehouse, vegetable greenhouse, satellite Internet room, small cinema, infirmary, gym, sauna room, chess and card room, and gun room.

Inside the gym.

The testers did not find barbells and the like, mainly because the interior of the ship is very bumpy during sea voyages, and equipment such as dumbbells and barbells are easy to hurt people.

The sports facilities here are mainly indoor rock climbing, squash courts, stationary treadmills, single pole and double pole and the like.

Several testers tested these sports facilities at the high speed of Melaka.

By the way, since the Malacca itself is designed as a spare warship, its speed is very fast. Its maximum speed is 35 knots, and it can still maintain a high speed of 25 knots under full load.

After all, if nuclear power is adopted, the speed will naturally increase, and low speed is not economical for nuclear-powered ships.

According to the design, Malacca will be equipped with four departments, namely: deck department, engine department, affairs department, and security department.

Among them, the deck department includes the captain, first mate, second mate, third mate, radio operator, boatswain, carpenter, and sailor, totaling 15 people;

The engine department includes the chief engineer, first engineer, second engineer, third engineer, electrician, chief engineer, nuclear power maintenance personnel, coppersmith, and machinist, with a total of 20 people;
