Homo sapiens.

While listing the expenses, ask the system wizard about some situations.

Housing rent: 120/month

Water and electricity fee (100 cubic meters of water per month, 1000 kwh): 30/month

Gas fee (1000 cubic meters per month): 10/month

Communication fee (two mobile phones): 20/month

Wired network (including fixed line): 5/month

These are fixed expenses, a total of 185 gold dollars.

Of course, if you feel that the fixed package of water, electricity and gas is not cost-effective, you can also choose to pay by volume.

Usually tap water is 0.07 per cubic meter, residential electricity is 0.03 per kWh, and gas is 0.02 per cubic meter.

This pay-as-you-go fee is more cost-effective for those who do not often cook, bathe, or live at home.

And Liu Meizhu felt that she must cook frequently at home, and it would be more cost-effective to choose a fixed set meal.

As for other transportation expenses, food expenses, daily necessities, cosmetics, clothes, milk powder and diapers, she also carefully calculated the local prices.

Even if she chooses better food and daily necessities, the total monthly expenditure of a family of four is still around 670 gold dollars.

In other words, the monthly balance of the family is about 3130 gold dollars.

"Prices are really cheap. It seems that some other expenses can be added." Liu Meizhu feels that there is still a relatively large balance, so she can consider other things.

"Buy a car? It's not necessary, is it? You can rent a car here, as well as subways, buses and taxis."

"House? Uh... There are no commercial houses for sale here, eh..."

Although Liu Meizhu didn't find a commercial house, she found a fine decoration service, where she could customize all kinds of furniture and appliances, as well as specially design balconies. She looked at the bare balconies, and she was a little moved.

But about the decoration, she needs to discuss it with her husband.

Then Liu Meizhu continued to plan. With sufficient income balance, fitness and beauty, travel and entertainment, hobbies and so on can all be considered.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Meizhu found that too many choices are also an annoyance, but she never tires of this kind of happiness annoyance.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, Liu Meizhu stretched her waist, and then sighed:

"It's so cool! This is what I want to live!"

Chen Yanxiu, who had just taken a shower, looked at his wife in high spirits with surprise on his face: "Why are you so happy?"

"Thinking about a better life in the future!"

Chapter 338 Exploitation ([-])

12 month 23 day.

The northern hemisphere is cold and windy.

Egypt, which is located in the northeast of the Sahara Desert and on the northwest coast of the Red Sea, is still sunny at this time.

Egypt sold the port and railway operation rights to Homo sapiens before. At this time, Homo sapiens headquarters has arranged a joint construction company to be responsible for the planning and construction of this project.

The location of the port is located in the south of the Red Sea Province of Egypt, and there is a cape called "Honkulab Cape" in this area.

United Construction Group planned the port in the bay on the south side of Cape Hongkurab, and named it "Hongku Port".

At this time, Hongku Port was still a barren land, and there was only a small fishing village with a population of less than 500.

Although Egypt has a population of 9300 million, its population is mainly concentrated in the Nile Delta and the narrow Nile Valley Plain, and the population in other areas is not large.

The Red Sea Province seems to be close to the Red Sea. In fact, due to the control of the subtropical high pressure belt and the lack of tall mountains or plateaus, it is impossible to form a rainfall area on the windward slope. It is dry and rainless all year round.

For an area with backward technology and no important mineral resources, naturally there is not much population here.

Egypt has set up a special office in Hongku Port to help Homo Sapiens coordinate local development work.

Of course, it is said that it is coordination, but it also has the purpose of monitoring.

Both sides are well aware of this, but Homo sapiens pretends not to see it. After all, there are some things that ultimately depend on strength to speak.

As long as Homo sapiens' fist is hard enough, the other party will never dare to harm the local interests of Homo sapiens.

If there is no strength and deterrence, it is useless to talk about it. When the opponent should backstab, he will still do it without hesitation.

Therefore, the Foreign Affairs Department of Homo sapiens never talked about empty heads, but used the strength of the Field Support Department and the Defense Department to directly coerce the other party to bow their heads.

In this jungle, there has never been any tenderness, only naked fighting and interests.

Uphold the concept of the jungle of the jungle.

Carry out the idea of ​​bullying.

Use despicable means.

That's the real way to survive.

……

On the temporary pier of Hongku Port.

Semaru, the person in charge of the Egyptian special office, is standing on the third-floor corridor of a container house, overlooking the harbor and sea in the distance.

sparkling sea.

A giant ship is working hard on the sea.

"Is this the Haili that dug the channel in the Strait of Malacca?"

Assistant Matruh hurriedly replied: "That is the ship, I heard it is still nuclear-powered, it arrived at Hongku Port last night, and now two 100-meter-wide offshore waterways have been dug out."

"How powerful this is..." Cemaru muttered softly, with envy and trepidation in his words.

At this time, the Haili was already on the seabed near the temporary pier, digging repeatedly, and spraying the seabed sediment onto the beach on the coast.

This area has been excavated into a temporary deep-water area with a length of 2 kilometers, a width of 500 meters, and a depth of about 40 meters.

Just when Semaru was in the middle of thinking, on the sea in the distance, three Malacca-class transport ships, escorted by three Manila-class frigates, slowly followed the channel opened by the Haili, and entered the temporary deep water one by one. Area.

"Huh? This is..." Semaru hurriedly picked up the binoculars.

Matru, who also picked up the binoculars, quickly recognized the Manila-class frigate and the Malacca-class nuclear-powered transport ship that has recently caused great controversy in the global shipping industry.

He quickly explained: "That is a Malacca-class nuclear-powered carrier."

"It's a nuclear-powered ship again. Is Homo Sapiens really going to popularize nuclear-powered ships?" Semaru said with a slightly worried expression.

After all, with so many nuclear-powered ships coming in and out of Hongku Port, if an accident occurs and a nuclear leak occurs, the trouble will be serious.

But Cemaru sighed secretly again, Homo sapiens is too powerful, and he has no way to stop the other party.

He continued to observe with the binoculars. The styles of the three Malacca-class transport ships were somewhat different. One was a container ship, the other was a self-unloading bulk carrier, and there were many Seahawk fighter jets and drones parked on the deck of one.

'Why are there fighter jets?Is one of them an aircraft carrier? '

Seeing this scene, Semaru frowned.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Hongku Port is only a commercial port, not a military port.

However, there is a supplementary clause in the agreement, which is to allow Homo sapiens warships to replenish, repair, and dock at Hongku Port.

Obviously, Homo sapiens took advantage of the loopholes in the agreement to transform a Malacca-class transport ship into an aircraft carrier, and then carried 60 Seahawk fighter jets and 120 drones and deployed them here in Hongku Port.

After a while, Semaru found Xu Yingcheng, the manager of Hongku Port Management Company.

"Xu, what happened to those fighter jets?"

After pouring him a cup of coffee, Xu Yingcheng said with a smile, "Mr. Semaru, don't worry, Malacca 7 is only temporarily moored here. After all, there are too many pirates in the Red Sea. For safety, we can only do this."

'Hehe, I believe you a ghost. Cemalu immediately heard the perfunctory in the words, if Homo sapiens was not too strong, he would have cursed a long time ago.

Xu Yingcheng continued: "I hope you can understand our good intentions. After all, our company has many nuclear-powered transport ships. If these ships are hijacked by pirates, the consequences will be very serious."

Hearing this explanation, the corners of Cemaru's mouth twitched slightly, secretly complaining:

"Which pirate dares to hijack your transport ship, even America is forced out of Southeast Asia by you, and those transport ships are equipped with Phalanx machine guns and cluster cruise missile launchers, and you are the only ones in the world on civilian transport ships Heavy weapons are installed. '

However, Semaru thought about it again, these nuclear-powered transport ships really need force protection.

He was in a dilemma for a while, and finally reminded: "Xu, I know you want to protect those nuclear-powered transport ships, but building a military port here is absolutely not allowed."

Xu Yingcheng smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry, Mr. Cemaru, our planes and soldiers will not go ashore, and they will perform escort missions at sea."

"I hope you will keep your promise and don't make it difficult for me." Cemalu said helplessly.

This is the helplessness of the weak, even if they are bullied, they still have to make up for it with a smile.

In the deep water area of ​​the temporary pier, Malacca 7 has been moored on one side, and then anchored up.

This Malacca 7 is not only an escort aircraft carrier, but also a special power generation ship. In order to strengthen the power supply capacity, a total of 6 thorium-based molten salt reactors are stuffed inside, with a total power generation of 300 megawatts.

If the power generation capacity of 300 megawatts is operated at full capacity, it will play a very important role in accelerating the initial construction of Hongku Port.

After all, if a nuclear power plant is to be built here alone, the Egyptian side will certainly not let it go easily.

Moreover, the speed of construction must not keep up with the progress of the port project.

It is the most cost-effective way to directly deploy a nuclear-powered transport ship as a temporary nuclear power plant.

With the completion of the berthing of Malacca No. 7, the other two Malacca-class transport ships also unloaded the engineering vehicles, construction materials, and daily necessities on the dock.

Fortunately, it is dry and rainless all the year round, so there is no need to worry about the cement and steel bars being exposed to the rain, and they can be stored in the open air.

A group of 500 construction workers and dozens of construction industry engineers arrived at Hongku Port almost at the same time as the transport ship.

Chapter 339 Exploitation ([-])

Construction workers wearing exoskeleton armor quickly got off the Jinpeng transport plane.

They lined up in an orderly manner, like a capable army.

Although Hongku Port does not have a high-standard airport, the Jinpeng transport aircraft has very low requirements for the runway. As long as there is an 800-meter-long cement flat ground, it can basically achieve landing and take-off.

"Report, there should be 7530 people in the 500th engineering brigade, but there are actually 500 people." Su Lin, the leader of the engineering team, saluted and reported the situation.

Xu Yingcheng nodded: "Very good, Captain Su, follow the plan!"

"Yes!"

Cemalu, who came here together, looked at the "engineering team" in front of him speechlessly, fully armed with exoskeleton armor, and you actually told me that I was a construction worker?Do you Homo sapiens really think I'm a fool?

Xu Yingcheng patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Mr. Semaru, don't make a fuss, our company employees all need some safety training, so it's not too much to bring some training equipment?"

"Will this be too much..." Cemalu reminded humbly.

Xu Yingcheng continued with a nonchalant smile: "Not much, not much. After all, everyone needs it. After all, the future is long! Natural disasters and man-made disasters are definitely inevitable. If this port is destroyed, then our exports will be expensive." If there is no food and cooking oil in the area, there may be problems.”

The threat in the words was almost explicit.

Cemalu dared not speak out about this.

As Egypt's population approaches [-] million, coupled with its special flatbread subsidies, the natural growth rate of the population has soared, and the annual food demand has also increased.

And Egypt's food self-sufficiency rate has also shown a downward trend year by year. After all, the arable land is limited, but the population is growing wildly. If it does not import food, it will definitely explode.

How much food do [-] million people need?

According to the international grain food and clothing line, the annual average per capita is 400 kg, and 4000 million tons of grain are needed every year.

Now unless Egypt changes all the cotton fields planted with long-staple cotton into wheat fields, it will be impossible to achieve food self-sufficiency.

Why didn't Cemalu know this, and it was precisely because of this that he chose to swallow his anger at this time.

Now the world's major grain exporting countries are not as cheap as Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens only costs 130 gold dollars per ton of flour, which is equivalent to 260 US dollars per ton.

Even if the price is heavily subsidized by ABCD, there is no way to achieve it. ABCD would rather use the wheat as feed than sell it at a price of $260 per ton.

Egypt’s official and private enterprises have signed 37 grain purchase agreements with Homo sapiens. Next year, they are expected to sell 1270 million tons of grain and 240 million tons of palm oil to Egypt.

These purchase agreements have saved Egypt at least $80 billion.

Faced with this kind of interest, their income is not high in the first place, and now that the global economic crisis is breaking out, they are willing to endure the bullying of Homo sapiens.

Cemaru left worriedly, and he was going to wipe his ass for Homo sapiens' actions again.

But Xu Yingcheng didn't care about the other party's thoughts. The low-priced food from Homo sapiens company is not so easy to get, otherwise he really thought Homo sapiens was doing charity.

Now that you have taken the benefits of Homo sapiens, you should pay the price, so don't even think about fooling around.
