Homo sapiens.

And their own currency is not recognized, and small forces are worried that the other party's currency will suddenly depreciate.

As for the exchange of currencies, it is also useless.

The international trade market at this time has become completely different from the international trade market a few years ago. The specific difference is the production cost.

Why doesn't Persian International Trading Company choose ABCD to purchase grain?It's not because ABCD can't provide cheap and good food.

This is the key question in the current international trade environment.

The gold dollar, which is the world's currency, is excluded from the major economies, and the production costs of these economies are still high.

If currency swaps are adopted, small powers will definitely suffer.

The scale of their international trade is therefore doomed to shrink rapidly.

Homo sapiens company has completely occupied the market of a lot of small shrimps through a series of means, and at the same time, various mineral resources are continuously transported back from these places.

This is also the reason why Homo sapiens can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the era of anti-globalization.

In addition to the huge changes in international trade, another thing has also begun to ferment, and that is the life extension technology and biochips announced by Li Qingye.

Although the major forces secretly blocked the relevant information, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and secretly spread things about biochips and life extension technology.

Those who are worried that they will not be able to get out in the future should hurry to some fringe areas or various free ports.

For example, Xiangjiang, at this time, there is a sudden influx of many people, and they are all young people who are eager to join Homo Sapiens.

Chapter 454 The New Era ([-])

Lancang Kingdom.

The Mekong River in the dead of night is quiet.

Due to the continuous decline of the local population, mechanized medium-sized farms have been set up here, and many people who stayed have become farmers with hundreds of acres.

However, life is not easy for the current farmers. Fortunately, the Far East also needs a lot of tropical fruits and rice, so they barely survived.

The Pansida Farm near the Mekong River has 327 acres of rice fields and a pineapple garden.

Han Nabanshida's family of six manages such a large farm, even with agricultural machinery to relieve the pressure, he feels very tired.

He was sitting next to the house in the pineapple garden, smoking a pipe: "Hoo hoo..."

Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Han Nabanshida quickly put down the pipe in his hand and opened the wooden door. Outside was the eldest son Meng Nabanshida, followed by his family.

"Dad! It's a tourist!" said Meng Nabanshida, pouring tea.

Seeing this action, Han Nabanshida nodded reassuringly, and then said in poor Mandarin: "Come... come! Arrange your luggage first..."

His farm has a farmhouse project.

Li Bai's family, who came from southern Shonan, was also in a bit of a panic at this time. After all, the journey was not easy. They were almost in a state of passing five trials and killing six generals. The 10,000+ deposits and 13 grams of gold in their hands had already spent more than half of it. .

After Li Bo settled his family, he quickly discussed with Han Nabansida and his son.

"Boss Meng! How is the project arrangement?"

Meng Nabanshida replied in a low voice: "Now the surface sports are not fun, we are playing underwater sports now."

"Under water? Is it safe?" Li Bai was a little worried.

Meng Nabanshida said confidently: "Don't worry! It's absolutely safe. We will arrange the project tomorrow night."

Li Bai was a little hesitant: "I heard before, isn't there a water sports event? Why was it cancelled?"

Meng Nabanshida spread his hands: "You are late. It was okay half a month ago, but it is not working now. Now there are infrared searchlights on the river, and many new watchtowers and outposts have been set up."

"What the fuck..." Li Bai cursed.

He was indeed late. Several fellow villagers told him to go south quickly, but he hesitated. Now that the travel channels have been cut off, even business trips are strictly restricted.

Fortunately, the Lancang Kingdom can come here in the name of tourism, and then go west from the Mekong River or the Luang Prabang Mountains on the north side to reach Siam.

However, recently, the Lancang Kingdom is also tightening the exit restrictions.

As the local tycoons, the Naban Sida family had made a lot of money from the "one-day trip to the Mekong River" project, so naturally they would not cooperate obediently.

After all, there are ups and downs.

In fact, if Li Bo’s family went to the farm on the other side of the Luang Prabang Mountains, it would be easier to get there, but he was not familiar with the place, so he had to ask the locals to help guide the way.

And Meng Nabanshida did not have the channel of the Luang Prabang Mountains, so naturally he would not take him there, so he could only go on the Mekong River side.

The two discussed for more than an hour, all about the underwater project tomorrow night, as well as the charging issue.

Meng Nabanshida's younger sister, Nima Nabanshida, made some desserts and midnight snacks for Li Bo's family.

the other side.

Han Nabanshida went to the tool warehouse in the rice field to check the tools.

Under the bright lights, there are a large number of diving suits, oxygen cylinders, and a large number of cables on one side of the warehouse.

The most important thing is a containerized oxygen boat that can dive. This thing is the secret equipment used by Han Nabanshida to smuggle contraband to Siam.

毕竟单纯的个人潜水氧气瓶（10～12升），在10米下潜深度，只能支撑40～60分钟。

The width of the Mekong River near Pansida Farm is 1300-1500 meters, and the water depth is 8-15 meters.

For those who have not received professional training, it must take more than an hour to swim underwater.

What's more, at this time, the Mekong River is in the high water season, and the river flows very fast. They can only take a diagonal line, and they have to rely on fixed points on the bottom of the river. The length of the route is about 3400 meters.

For safety, Han Nabanshida carefully checked all the equipment and oxygen cylinders.

By the middle of the night.

He changed into a diving suit, then launched into the water from the diversion channel of the rice field and swam quickly to the Mekong River.

This is the habit of Han Nabansida. Before each action, he will go into the water once to ensure that the fixed points of the previous pouring are still there.

Relying on the dim underwater flashlight, he saw the first anchor point, passing the high-strength rope through the stainless steel hoop of the anchor point.

Then he judged the specific direction based on the shape of the fixed point, and swam obliquely to the southwest.

After swimming 50 meters, he saw the second fixed point, put another rope through the stainless steel hoop, untied the knot of the first fixed point, and continued to the southwest.

With a length of 3400 meters, there are a total of 68 fixed points. The average time for each fixed point is about 3 minutes, and it takes a total of 210 minutes. He took four oxygen cylinders to swim to the other side smoothly.

After emerging from the water.

He saw a few old acquaintances.

"Han! It's you again." A security guard with an assault rifle on his back helped the exhausted Han Nabansida up.

"Huhu..." Han Nabanshida said with a smile while panting, "Tomorrow night, five people will come over."

The squad leader nodded: "No problem, I will send someone over to meet it."

In the lounge in the outpost.

The cook in the station delivered some meals and energy drinks to Han Nabanshida.

Han Nabanshida, who was eating snowflake steak, asked curiously: "Tao, why do you find me coming every time? There must be bugs under the water, right?"

"Haha...can't say." Tao Nabandan smiled and shook his head.

After speaking, Tao Nabandan took out another box of medicine: "This is an oxygen-enriched patch."

"what is the usage?"

"Put it on the arm before diving. The patch can sense the oxygen content in the vein. Once there is hypoxia in the body, the patch will automatically activate and inject a high-oxygen compound into the body to ensure that you don't need to breathe oxygen for 30 minutes."

"Good stuff." Han Nabanshida picked up the energy drink and took a big sip.

"Only 50 tablets, save some."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, it's just mutual benefit." Tao Nabandan shrugged.

This kind of thing that is beneficial to the company is naturally strongly supported by the company.

Han Nabanshida even has a house here, because the company often sends people over here.

If this guy hadn't been reluctant to part with Lancang Kingdom's property, he would have come here to profit.

After eating and resting for more than an hour, Han Nabanseda took an oxygen cylinder filled with oxygen, got on a pickup truck, and headed to a location upstream.

Because the route he went back was upstream, and then swam diagonally southeast back to the farm.

This kind of oblique diving can use the flow direction of the water to reduce the underwater resistance. Otherwise, if you go back the same way, you will go upstream.

After more than three hours, Han Nabanshida returned to his farm again.

After explaining some things to his son, he went to bed and recharged his energy to prepare for tonight's action.

In other places, those who tried to work for the Homo sapiens company also poured into the Indochina Peninsula like moths to a flame.

Anyway, there are all kinds of means, some people succeed, some people fail, and some even die because of it.

Chapter 455 The Flying Dandelion

The first year of Xinghe, October 6th.

Ceylon Ocean.

Mada Island.

Homo sapiens invested and built the Northern Space City, which finally completed all the engineering construction at this time, and also solved various technical problems of the dandelion mass projector.

Even Li Qingye, who has been working in the headquarters in Southeast Asia, came to Mada Island from the headquarters a few days ago by the [-]th Aerospace Fleet.

In the past few days, he conducted a rough inspection of the various industries and cities of the Mada Island branch.

At this time, he was visiting the entire base accompanied by Su Changli, the chief engineer of the Dandelion Project.

Inside the space station in the underground base.

A space train is on display on the track.

"Mr. Chairman, this is the Tinder space train we designed." Su Changli introduced him excitedly.

Li Qingye looked at the somewhat special Tinder number: "The one inside is the Tinder number, right?"

Su Changli nodded: "Yes, the outside is a vacuum track. I call this part the shell."

The so-called bullet case is that this thing itself is a part of the vacuum electromagnetic acceleration pipeline, and it is specially designed like this only for the convenience and rapid launch.

The length of this section of pipe is 300 meters, the inner diameter is 30 meters, and the Tinder space train installed inside is 100 meters in length and 10 meters in diameter.

"What's the payload on the Spark?"

"The Tinder has a take-off weight of 1.2 tons, a low-earth orbit payload of 4000 tons, and a synchronous orbit of 3000 tons."

"Effective factor of low earth orbit is 33%? Not bad." Li Qingye is very satisfied with this data.

Although Su Changli was very happy, he didn't get carried away: "Actually, this is also due to the electromagnetic acceleration and vacuum tubes, otherwise it would be very difficult to do."

Why is the effective coefficient of low-Earth orbit for conventional launch vehicles below 3%.

The reason lies in the initial acceleration and air resistance, which eat up a large part of the power of the launch vehicle.

And the mass projector of the Dandelion project, in the electromagnetic acceleration of the ring-shaped pipeline stage, will increase the speed of the Pyro to the first cosmic speed, and then, it will be projected out.

After being projected, the Tinder will continue to fly for 30 kilometers in the vacuum tube. During this period, the Tinder's engine will start to continue to accelerate the Tinder and counteract the gravity of the earth.

Li Qingye looked at it for a while: "You guys arrange the launch!"

"Okay." Su Changli hurriedly called Bai Sha, the person in charge of another technical department, to arrange the launch work.

The huge shell-shaped pipe, carrying the Pyro, passed through the orbit together, and slowly moved to the circular acceleration pipe, where there happened to be a gap.

After the two were combined, the staff in the control room started the vacuuming process.

The entire ring-shaped pipe and the column-shaped vacuum pipe pulled by the ring-shaped airship, the air inside is rapidly reduced.

The vacuum system does not stop until the air density in the vacuum pipeline is equal to the air density at an altitude of 3 meters.

The reason why the vacuum is not completely evacuated is that on the one hand, it is impossible to evacuate completely, and on the other hand, it is to avoid a sudden difference in air density.

Choose to be consistent with the air density at an altitude of 3 meters, which will make the moment when the Pyro rushes out of the vacuum pipeline, it will not be affected by the difference in air density.
