Homo sapiens.

Nibro, with a population of only about 2900 million, basically has no agricultural potential because 90% of its territory is high-altitude mountains, but its hydropower potential is not small.

After opening up the large underground railway in the Assam region and the Nibro, Homo sapiens imported a large amount of various daily necessities and construction materials here.

Including the construction of 30 medium-sized hydropower plants, as well as 3 nuclear power plants.

At the same time, the exploration of mineral resources in the Nibro area is also in full swing.

Weng Xuehai and his team, who were previously conducting geological exploration in Zhuyu, have completed the preliminary exploration of the stratum within 5000 meters underground in Zhuyu, and now they are entering Nibro to conduct exploration.

In the Gandaki district on the west side of Kathmandu.

There are many peaks with an altitude of 4000 meters.

Under the leadership of local guides, Weng Xuehai and his team camped in a nearby river valley. Since it was winter in the northern hemisphere, the areas with relatively high altitudes had already been covered with a layer of snow.

"Huh..." After taking a sip of hot tea, Weng Xuehai vomited white mist: "If it weren't for the assistance of the exoskeleton, I wouldn't dare to go into the mountains in this season."

At this moment, his satellite phone rang, and he quickly put down his teacup and connected the phone: "Hello..."

"Dr. Weng, please get ready, there is an urgent task that requires your cooperation, and a Brontosaurus ship will pick you up later..."

Hearing this, Weng Xuehai didn't even think about it: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he quickly called his deputy over and let the other party lead the team temporarily, while he and his assistant quickly packed up his personal belongings.

46 minutes passed.

A small brontosaurus ground-effect ship galloped from mid-air, and then slowly parked on the snow field not far from the camp.

The cabin opened, and several security guards wearing combat exoskeletons jumped out.

"Doctor, this is our employee certificate, this is a temporary recruitment order..."

Weng Xuehai glanced roughly, then nodded: "Let's go!"

"Please."

Boarding the Little Thunder Dragon ground-effect boat, Weng Xuehai and his assistant waved as they watched the colleagues come to see them off from the window.

Woooooo... The turbojet engine pushed the small brontosaurus off the ground, and then flew towards Kathmandu in the east.

Because it is in its own territory, the small brontosaurus does not need to fly close to the ground. In addition to the technology upgrade, after applying part of the technology of Jinpeng transport aircraft, the cruising speed can reach about 600 kilometers per hour.

Soon the small Brontosaurus was near Kathmandu and landed at the internal airport on the plateau west of Kathmandu.

Weng Xuehai was taken deep underground at this base, and then took the subway to Lower Kathmandu, the underground city of Kathmandu.

Lower Kathmandu is deep underground in the northern mountains of Kathmandu.

Weng Xuehai is very familiar with this place because his temporary dormitory is here.

Inside the base master's office in the dungeon.

Weng Xuehai saw a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the internal affairs department. This man had relatively rare career-colored pupils, one brown and one blue pupil.

"Hello, doctor, I'm Moses, the head of the Crisis Emergency Response Office of the Internal Affairs Department, please sit down."

After taking his seat, Weng Xuehai did not beat around the bush, and asked directly: "What is the specific task?"

"The Internal Affairs Division needs to build several ultra-deep shelters, and I need the doctor's help to choose a few suitable locations." Moses cut to the chase.

Weng Xuehai froze for a moment: "Refuge? How deep does it need to be?"

"The deeper the better, ideally with granite rock formations and mountains above."

"Is that so?" Weng Xuehai turned on the holographic projection system of the tablet computer and projected a holographic map of the Nibro area, then he pointed to the northeast of the Karnali area:

"The altitude of this area is above 4000 meters, there are still a lot of ice sheets, and there are many granite rock formations below, which should meet the requirements."

Then he added: "There are two large iron mines below, which were discovered some time ago. I don't know the technical limit of the underground engineering department. If they can withstand the high temperature and high pressure underground, then they can build as far as possible. .”

Moses gave him a rough introduction to the technical overview of underground engineering: "Now we can build a safe underground city at a depth of about 5000 meters underground, and the shelter can be built even deeper due to its particularity. The depth I am talking about is Altitude depth, mountain and plateau heights do not count.”

"I see." Weng Xuehai recalculated, and quickly found a dozen positions.

Without exception, these locations are all above 5000 meters above sea level, with ice sheets above, granite rock formations underground, and relatively stable geology.

Then Weng Xuehai took the initiative to introduce the specific conditions of these places to Moses.

Soon Moses chose 7 of them as candidates, and then he continued to ask: "Doctor, you also did the geological exploration in the Zhuyu and Zhe Mengxiong areas, and you also choose a few suitable ones over there." Location."

"no problem."

Weng Xuehai called out the geological holographic map of Zhuyu and Zhemengxiong areas, and circled 6 candidate locations in a short while.

Moses chose three more candidates.

In total, there are 10 alternative locations.

It is only a preliminary determination now, and in-depth exploration will be required to determine the final location.

In the future, these ultra-deep underground shelters will become part of Hades' plan.

Of course, the Hades Project is not just an ultra-deep refuge, its core is actually a special database.

To be precise, these shelters are not prepared for people, but are memory backups and genetic samples of all new human employees.

Including Li Qingye's memory and gene samples will be stored in it.

In these ultra-deep refuges, there are only survival cabins and cloning cabins, and various equipment for restarting civilization. There are no new human administrators, and they are managed by the artificial intelligence of supercomputers.

Its passage to the outside world will also be sealed after it is completed, leaving only an optical cable for transmitting data, which is convenient for new human employees to update the memory database.

The requirement for these ultra-deep shelters is that they can continue to operate for about 100 years in a low-power mode in a closed state.

Here is another backup prepared by Homo sapiens.

The Ancient Land Project is prepared for the refuge of large-scale personnel; the Ice Region Project and the Abyss Project are special refuges for small-scale personnel; the Hades Project is a refuge for the memory and genes of Homo sapiens.

The last Guigong plan is to consider that in the most extreme case, once the earth cannot survive, Homo sapiens' civilization fire can use the moon base as a temporary transfer station to escape to other planets.

Chapter 361 Going to Deep Space

2 month 9 day.

It is rare for Li Qingye to appear on Homo sapiens company's public channel.

He appeared at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Port Ramon Space City in Medan Island, and delivered a speech "Based on the Earth, Going to Deep Space" through a TV recording.

Ramon Port is located on the eastern coast of Medan Island, facing the vast Pacific Ocean, with a latitude of about 8.5 degrees north latitude, very close to the zero line of the equator, and is a very suitable area for a space launch site.

Moreover, since Medan Island is located near the equatorial windless belt, typhoons that often occur in Southeast Asia rarely land on Medan Island, which is conducive to space launches.

After appearing on TV, Li Qingye did not leave immediately. Although his location is top secret, there is actually no need to worry too much at this stage.

After all, all the major powers understand that once Li Qingye is attacked, the consequence is that they all die together.

According to the quarterly defense report released by Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens is currently equipped with a total of 725 thermonuclear warheads, as well as 224 atomic bombs previously stocked.

And this data, when Homo sapiens first officially debuted, there were only 206 thermonuclear warheads and 224 atomic bombs.

The outside world is very worried about this. Homo sapiens is frantically expanding its nuclear arsenal at a rate of producing 200 thermonuclear warheads per quarter.

Facing the madness of Homo sapiens, America has recently restarted some heavy water refineries, and is also preparing to expand its nuclear arsenal.

Some old people who have experienced the last century recalled the dreadful days again.

Therefore, Li Qingye's security is relatively high now. As long as there is no determination to die together, the big powers will never dare to use drastic means to deal with him.

Of course, it is actually very difficult for the outside world to pinpoint the location of the elusive Li Qingye.

After all, the subway network of Homo sapiens is densely covered, and there are various dungeons. It is very difficult to lock the position of the management of Homo sapiens.

……

Space City is located 8.6 kilometers south of Port Ramon.

After the employees of Manila TV Station and Sapiens News Corporation completed the recording and broadcasting content, they were arranged to go to other places in the base for interviews.

Accompanied by Jose Garcia, the person in charge of the space city, and Antonio, the chief engineer, Li Qingye visited the final assembly workshop of the space city in Port Ramon.

Antonio introduced to him: "Mr. Chairman, since the passivation technology of metal hydrogen propellants has not been practical, we have temporarily adopted a methane liquid oxygen engine."

"I've read your report before, have you found the reason for those launch failures?"

Antonio nodded: "It has been checked out. The main reason is that the layout of several sensors is unreasonable, which caused the computer system of the launch vehicle to make a wrong judgment. Now it has been adjusted."

Li Qingye turned his head: "Jose, you go to work on the launch mission at noon, as long as there is Dr. Antonio here."

"Yes, Mr. Chairman."

Jose left the inspection team and went to work on the launch mission at noon today.

Under the leadership of Antonio, Li Qingye entered the final assembly workshop.

A large launch vehicle with a height of 113 meters is lying on its side in the workshop, and hundreds of technicians are busy with concentration.

Of course, this is not the launch vehicle to be launched today.

If it was a carrier rocket to be launched, Antonio and Jose would not bring Li Qingye to visit.

Although the explosive power of methane and liquid oxygen is not as powerful as metallic hydrogen, once it explodes, the power is no small matter.

The launch vehicle to be launched has already been filled with methane and liquid oxygen, and there are certain risks.

Although this risk is very small, Jose and Antonio did not take it lightly. After all, the old Maozi had an accident where a launch vehicle exploded at the launch site, blowing up several high-level executives who were at the site at that time.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Li Qingye's safety is related to the stability of Homo sapiens company, so it cannot be overemphasized.

……

Antonio explained to him in a low voice: "We have determined the data of the ape-eating eagle in the first 6 test shots."

The large launch vehicle in front of us has a special name within Homo Sapiens, "Ape-eating Eagle Class Launch Vehicle".

This naming method is to distinguish it from the launch vehicles of other forces.

Generally speaking, the United States of America and Europa mainly use mythological terms, while Lucia mainly uses scientific terms.

Homo sapiens company is mainly based on the representative birds of each branch company location.

For example, the ape-eating eagles of the Luzon branch, the fire-backed pheasant of the Siam branch, the green peacock of the Hongshawadi branch, the Malay hornbill of the Malaysia branch, the magpie robin of the Dongba branch, and the Nebraska branch. The company's nine-color bird, the black-tailed jungle fowl of the Ceylon branch, and the like.

As a large launch vehicle, it was named "Ape-eating Eagle Class".

Li Qingye asked: "How many payloads can be achieved by near-Earth, synchronous and lunar?"

"The near-Earth is 150 tons, the synchronous is 100 tons, and the moon is 63 tons."

"Not bad! It's about the same as SpaceX's Space Launch System launch vehicle."

Antonio shrugged with a smile. "Part of our technology is borrowed from SpaceX."

Antonio was not ashamed of this, the patents in the aerospace field were useless, and the major forces were also smothering their own aerospace technology, and they would not allow other forces to intervene in it at all.

After deciding to develop aerospace technology, Li Qingye asked Chen Jianxiong to set up a technology collection office in the Field Service Department, which was responsible for "learning" the aerospace technology of other forces.

Anyway, the world's major aerospace bases and aerospace companies have been bald by the Field Service Division.

On heavy-duty launch vehicles and super-heavy launch vehicles, there are not many targets that can be used for reference.

For example, Antonio was the former launch vehicle designer of Lucia Space Group, and his teacher also participated in the design of the Proton launch vehicle.

For Lucia's aerospace technology, it can only be described as "science and technology rely on archaeology".

In addition, America has the technology of heavy and super heavy launch vehicles.

For example, the Saturn V developed in the 60s of the last century, and the heavy-duty Falcon and space launch system developed by Space Exploration Corporation in recent years.

When it comes to the space launch system, many people may feel very unfamiliar.

However, many people will be very familiar with the project using the space launch system launch vehicle, that is NASA's ace pigeon project-Artemis project.

The launch vehicle used by the Artemis project is the Space Launch System "developed" by the Space Exploration Corporation.

This launch vehicle is actually pieced together by waste utilization. Its engine is inherited from NASA's space shuttle inventory spare engine, and after technical integration, the space launch system super-heavy launch vehicle was "developed".

NASA has no choice. Fortunately, America's aerospace technology has a solid foundation, otherwise the technology would have been discontinued long ago.

Some time ago, Artemis 1 was finally launched successfully during the dawdling.

Although Li Qingye ridiculed that the Artemis project was a refurbished machine, he still recognized its technology.

The initial model of the space launch system is for the manned project of the constellation plan, so its near-Earth payload is about 70 tons, and it has a thrust of 3810 tons during launch.
