Homo sapiens.

The northern region where Assad forces and rebels face off.

In one of the Assad army camps, technical consultants from the Homo sapiens security service company are guiding them to fight.

The equipment in the camp has also been replaced with shotguns. A large number of cruise missiles, light weapons, armored vehicles and supplies produced by Homo sapiens have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Assad army.

The command room of the underground bunker.

The division commander Hurd asked very respectfully: "Mr. Advisor, when are we going to launch an offensive?"

Wu Sen, who was sent here as a consultant, did not answer immediately, but turned his head: "Hook, how is the situation?"

Pier Hook, who was digging into the information, nodded: "I have found the location, and I will project it immediately."

Immediately, a holographic three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone. Hook stood up and introduced: "The red dots are confirmed targets, the yellow dots are suspected targets, and the green dots are unarmed personnel..."

While speaking, Hook clicked on one of the valleys with dense red dots, and then the location was quickly enlarged, and a large number of human-like targets appeared.

"Gulu... is this the Katdu Valley? They built underground bunkers and warehouses there?" Staff Officer Karak looked shocked.

"Well, look at this cave. According to the results of the system analysis, there are a lot of TNT polymers stored in it. With the rough outline of these polymers, it is basically certain that they are rockets..."

"And here... There are a large number of regular metal outlines. Judging from the shape, they are rocket launchers, mortars and machine guns..."

Assad officers such as Hurd and Karak were shocked. This kind of intelligence gathering capability is simply frightening, coupled with the previously exposed insect surveillance methods of Homo sapiens.

As an enemy of Homo sapiens, that would be an absolute nightmare.

Especially those rebels with mediocre defense methods, they don't have the pest control methods and safe house measures like America.

And with the geological monitoring airship in place, the intelligence of the entire Assad region cannot escape the palm of the Field Service Department.

As for why the geological monitoring airship found traces of the rebels.

There is no way to do that, after all, the geological monitoring airship's magnetic field detection accuracy is at the surface cubic centimeter level.

There are so many objects with clear outlines and special compositions, so it is difficult for the geological monitoring airship not to find them.

Therefore, under the begging of the Assad army, Diting Company reluctantly provided services. Considering that they had no money, they provided technical services for free.

Kapil Bose has been touched by his behavior for a long time. On TV, he even boasted that his company has made great sacrifices for peace, and that the company should be awarded a peace award.

It is indeed a huge sacrifice, after all, it is all money!

If there is a fee, there are not hundreds of millions of gold dollars, and Di Ting Company will not even look at it.

The Assad army, which received technical support from Homo sapiens, launched thousands of cruise missiles in the next week, sending warmth and express delivery to various strongholds of the rebels.

The Ottoman army on the northern border of Assad has already rolled back home.

The Assad army, who is so red-eyed, doesn't care who is on the other side, but anyone with weapons is included in the bombing target.

The cruise missile produced by Homo sapiens, under the navigation of the geological monitoring airship, is simply a god-blocking killer, sticking to the ground and inserting directly into the target location.

Hurd, who led his men into the rebel base camp, was so happy to see the town without resistance.

He stood on a dilapidated building, overlooking the entire town: "Homo Sapiens' technology is really scary, we used to fight for months to clean up the places that were not clean, and now they are wiped out in less than a week. "

"Yes! Surveillance technology is so powerful that it can even detect a disguised enemy with a C4." Karak also completely fell for Homo sapiens.

In the area where the Assad rebels are active, many rebels have already discovered the problem. As long as they take up arms, cruise missiles will come to send warmth soon.

And as long as they lay down their weapons, those drones won't come near them.

Therefore, many rebels hid their weapons and prepared to do things later.

Little did they know, times had changed.

Every time the Hurd Legion recovers an area, it will quickly organize its personnel, and according to the information provided by Homo Sapiens, quickly arrest those who hide weapons, and at the same time completely blow up those unmanned secret weapon warehouses.

Want to secretly hide weapons and then do things again?Don't even think about it.

The U.S. military who wanted to secretly send supplies to the rebels was also killed by the Assad army. More than 300 people were killed. In the end, not only did they fail to deliver the items to the rebels, they were also forced to withdraw from the eastern part of Assad.

It took only one month for the Assad army to quickly wipe out all the rebels and armed forces inside.

All parties in West Asia were once again shocked by the strength and technology of Homo sapiens.

Just receiving the technical support from Homo sapiens, the Assad army seemed to be completely reborn. It was hard for them to imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if Homo sapiens ended up in person.

As the situation in the Al-Assad area stabilized, the geological survey stations of Di Ting Company were gradually rolled out there.

At the same time, various subsidiaries of Homo sapiens also quickly poured into the Assad area.

Chapter 467 Power of Science and Technology

Suez branch.

Gaitala Lake Agricultural Area.

Li Qingye is currently in the lakeside city of Qatara Lake - Sirat Port.

Since the Homo sapiens company dug the northern canal between the Mediterranean Sea and the Qattara Depression, two huge canals with a width of 550 meters and a depth of 35 meters have brought huge Mediterranean seawater into the Qattara Depression.

After nearly two years of continuous injection, the entire Gaitala Depression was completely submerged, forming a saltwater lake with an area of ​​up to 1.8 square kilometers, which is the Gaitala Lake in front of Li Qingye.

This huge lake with an area of ​​1.8 square kilometers and an average depth of 62 meters has 1 trillion cubic meters of seawater and because it is directly connected to the Mediterranean Sea, Lake Gaitala will basically not dry up.

Standing on the 500-meter-high Sirat Broadcasting Tower, Li Qingye looked down at the surroundings. Apart from the blue sea and blue sky, Li Qingye saw endless green fields.

"Mr. Chairman, with our efforts, the Numidia desert will become the granary of North Africa." As the general manager of the Numidia branch, Hu Mingliang was beside Li Qingye at this time.

"The terrain here is very flat, so there should be a lot of usable area for agriculture, right?"

"Yes, the province of Matruh in Suez and the northeast of Numidia is a flat desert area with an area of ​​60 square kilometers. The altitude is lower than 200 meters. All of them can be transformed into seawater farms."

"Do they all grow rice?" Li Qingye didn't know much about the agricultural industry of each branch recently.

Hu Mingliang shook his head: "No, the climate here is suitable for wheat. Through genetically modified technology, we inserted the root gene of sea rice into the wheat gene, as well as the perennial gene."

"That is to say, you plan to plant genetically modified wheat in this 60 square kilometers plain?"

"Yes, but not all of them. About 30 square kilometers are planted."

"That's not a lot. After all, it's 4.5 million mu. By the way, is this genetically modified wheat harvested once a year?"

Hu Mingliang hurriedly replied: "It is harvested twice a year, Chairman, because of the perennial gene, genetically modified wheat can be seamlessly connected, so one season of winter wheat and one season of spring wheat can be realized."

"How about the yield?" Li Qingye picked up the binoculars and looked at the lush wheat fields in the distance.

"The annual yield per mu is about 850 kilograms. If all desert transformation is completed, it is estimated that the annual output of 30 million tons of wheat can be achieved in 3.825 square kilometers."

Li Qingye is quite satisfied with this production capacity.

After all, Homo sapiens now has 26 billion employees, and this number is still rising year by year. Based on the average annual per capita grain of 500 kilograms, at least 13 billion tons of grain are needed.

The agricultural potential of the Southeast Asia branch and the South Asia branch has almost been squeezed out. If we continue to cultivate, we will need to build terraces and cut down a lot of forests.

Therefore, the current agricultural development direction of Homo Sapiens is, on the one hand, focusing on genetically modified seawater crops, and on the other hand, indoor matt farms.

The Sahara Desert in North Africa is a large agricultural area that Homo sapiens focuses on developing. After all, the low-altitude desert here is very suitable for large-scale mechanized production.

The transgenic technology endows crops with the ability to tolerate salt and alkali, which can be directly planted in seawater, and solves the congenital defect of lack of fresh water resources in North Africa.

Under the condition that seawater can replace freshwater as agricultural water, the agricultural potential of the North African region has been increased dozens of times at once.

Just now.

woo woo woo...

A rush of sirens came from the direction of the port.

Li Qingye turned the direction of the telescope, and found a cruise ship was docking.

"Is there a shortage of manpower in Matruh Province?"

"Yes, at present, there are only 352 million employees in the secondary branch of Matruh. We are cooperating with the personnel department to transfer staff from the Nile Delta and Cairo."

Li Qingye nodded slightly: "More than 300 million is indeed less, 1000 million is more reasonable."

"The manpower here is good, but the Numidia branch is even more short of people." Hu Mingliang felt helpless.

"Where did the northern canal between Numidia and Suez go?"

Hu Mingliang took out the tablet and projected a construction progress map.

"At present, the northern plains of Numidia have been opened up, and the westernmost point is the port of Hassan Pond."

Li Qingye looked at the road map and found that the northern route of the northern canal was almost completed.

If you want to continue to dig the canal westward, you will encounter the Nafusa Mountains and the Hamra Stone Desert with an average altitude of more than 500 meters, and continue westward to the Abd Wadh Republic, so the northern line of the northern canal There is no need to continue digging westward at this stage.

Judging from the progress map of the canal provided by Hu Mingliang, it can also be seen that the Numidia branch does not plan to continue westward, but is digging the central and southern lines of the northern canal.

Among them, the middle line of the northern canal is from Lake Gaitala to the west, passing through the southern part of the Numidian Desert, Tazierb Oasis, Sabha Oasis, Obari Desert, and finally arriving at the border city of Atshan Town.

The southern line of the northern canal is heading south from the Tazierb Oasis, passing through the Rabyanai Desert and the Kufra Oasis in turn, entering the business area of ​​the Chad Branch, and successively passing through the relics of Lake Unianga, Bo The Delai Depression, the Wadi Bahr el-Ghazal area, and finally the city of N'Djamena.

This large-scale construction is a huge boost for the entire northeastern region of the Sahara Desert.

Why are Chad branch and Merroy branch the slowest among all branches?

The reason is that transportation and infrastructure are extremely backward.

Especially the Chad branch, it is really poor and poor, there is no railway, no canal, and there are few decent roads, and it is located inland, and the surrounding area is either a big desert or a place that is also poor and poor.

Therefore, the southern line of the northern canal is a vital lifeline for the Chad branch.

Fortunately, the Ceylon Ocean Transportation Group, a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, has recently commissioned hundreds of large transport airships, and 50% of these transport airships have basically been invested in the Chad branch and the Meroy branch.

It is precisely by using this large transport airship that the economy of the Chad branch has barely improved, without long-term blood transfusions from the head office.

"Liangming, over there at the Chad branch, your Numidia branch should give more support."

Hu Mingliang nodded quickly: "I will strengthen cooperation with them."

The reason why Li Qingye gave this order was because he planned to set up some important industrial and scientific research bases in the hinterland of the Sahara region.

And the location he chose was the northern part of the Darfur Plateau among the four places of Suez, Meroy, Chad, and Numidia.

This place is surrounded by deserts, itself is a plateau, and the local population is sparsely populated. It is very suitable for setting up secret bases and conducting some relatively dangerous special experiments.

He had always wanted to carry out a special project before, but there was no suitable place. This time, he finally had a wide enough experimental area.

Therefore, he had to develop several surrounding branches to support the material consumption of that project.

He came all the way to North Africa, not just to inspect the industry, but to have more important things.

After more than a week of inspection around Gaitarahu, Li Qingye, escorted by the Aerospace Fleet, entered the operation area of ​​the Numidia branch westward.

At the same time, the project that Li Qingye secretly prepared in the Darfur Plateau is also in the early stages of preparation.

Chapter 468 Huge Void

Northwest of Meroe.

The northern part of the Darfur Plateau, which is part of the Sahara Desert, is a typical Gobi desert landform.

The area of ​​the region is about 30 square kilometers.

In this uninhabited plateau desert.

A construction team of 500 people is secretly digging a huge tunnel to the depths of the plateau at the edge of the oasis on the east side of the plateau.

Shabu Yin, the leader of the construction team, looked at the tablet computer in his hand. On it was an excavation plan. The length of the tunnel was about 200 kilometers.

They have been digging for more than half a year, and only the last few dozen kilometers are left.

Don’t think that the construction team of 500 people is very small. In fact, due to the application of a large number of automated engineering equipment, new technologies, and engineering auxiliary organisms, their construction scale is comparable to an engineering team of tens of thousands of people, and their efficiency is very high. The construction speed Also very fast.

Behind their construction team, there is another construction team. That construction team is responsible for building node dungeons. A node dungeon needs to be built every 50 kilometers along the tunnel.

Just as Shabuyin and his construction team were busy digging the tunnel, a train arrived at their temporary camp along the track of the tunnel.

To be precise, the temporary camp of the construction team is actually a train.

The width of this kind of super tunnel is very large, and its diameter is usually about 30 meters, which is the same specification as the vacuum ring pipeline in Motor Island Space City.

And for the sake of safety, two lines are usually built simultaneously. The two tunnels are parallel to each other, and the distance is usually about 500-600 meters. Every 10 kilometers between the tunnels, an auxiliary tunnel (about 10 meters in diameter) will be built. .

Once the construction team enters the tunnel construction, they will basically live in the tunnel for a long time.

Therefore, Coral Construction Group specially customized a train-type "RV". Due to the use of ultra-wide gauges, this kind of train has relatively large compartments, usually consisting of 50 to 150 compartments.

For example, the Shabuin construction team in front of us, their camp train consists of 86 carriages, which can accommodate 500 employees to live here for a long time.
