Homo sapiens.

Of course, the company will also consider the physical and mental health of the construction workers. Usually this kind of work means one month of work and one month of rest, and the husband and wife work together on the construction site.

The train that just arrived was a supply train, and it was also the arrival of shift replacements.

Shabuyin hurriedly drove the electric car to the camp.

In this kind of tunnel, all engineering equipment is powered by electric power, which is mainly to reduce the oxygen consumption inside the tunnel.

Although the gas balance cabin of the camp train will constantly monitor the composition of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in the tunnel, and release oxygen by absorbing carbon dioxide, so as to achieve the stability of gas composition.

But if the internal combustion engine is used in large quantities, it will still cause unnecessary trouble.

Even if the construction team employees are equipped with bio-based armor, they do not need to obtain oxygen from the air, and the oxygen concentration inside the pipeline must still be maintained within a reasonable range.

When Shabuin came to the camp train.

Autoloaders are already resupplying camp trains, and the 100 workers who came in for their shift this week have been donned in bio-based armor and exoskeletons.

A brown-skinned middle-aged man walked over and said, "Lao Sha, don't violate the company's regulations. Take a rest when you should. I don't want to see you die from overwork."

The corner of Shabu Yin's mouth twitched slightly: "I just came back from a vacation in the Red Sea last week, and I am in excellent health. Manager, you are worrying too much."

The manager of Merroy Construction, a subsidiary of Coral Construction Group, is Su Qixi, the man in front of him. He patted Shabu Yin on the shoulder: "Why are you still so thin, old boy? Did you go to the hospital?"

"Hehe, I'm not sick. The doctor said that among my genes, several gut-related genes inhibit the rate of nutrient absorption, which is why I'm thin." Shabuyin explained helplessly.

The two chatted for a few minutes, and Su Qixi also entered the topic: "In about half a month, the chairman will come to the Darfur Plateau for inspection, and you must hurry up for the remaining 27 kilometers."

"Chairman wants to come?" Shabu Yin widened his eyes.

"Well, after all, this project was formulated by the chairman himself."

Shabuyin was a little curious: "Manager, after all, what is this project for? Is it necessary to do it on such a large scale?"

"Don't ask, this is a confidential project." Su Qixi did not answer.

"Okay!" Shabuin put away his curiosity immediately: "The last 27 kilometers will take about 11 days, and I will speed up the progress as soon as possible."

Su Qixi nodded slightly: "Then thank you for your hard work. If you have any needs, you can ask them at any time, and the company will consider them as appropriate."

"Don't worry! I won't be polite to the company."

The two chatted for a while.

Su Qixi saw that the supply was completed, and the shift personnel had also handed over the work, so he took the train back to Atlon Oasis City.

The speed of the train is very fast, and the distance of more than 170 kilometers took less than 10 minutes.

Back in Atlon Oasis City, he asked his assistant to arrange the placement of shift employees, while he went to the design and planning center of the office building.

In the design and planning center, dozens of architectural designers, urban planners, and underground construction engineers are busy with a big project.

Su Qixi asked with great concern: "Engineer Anthony, how is the simulation test of the dome design?"

A middle-aged man with a messy beard, bloodshot eyes and spread his hands: "Many situations have been simulated, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, and nuclear bomb explosions. They have all been tested, and the situation can only be considered good or bad."

Su Qixi also felt helpless about this.

Human beings are still too small in front of the mighty forces of nature.

Even a Homo sapiens company with powerful technology is helpless against many natural disasters.

He turned his head to another designer and asked, "Dr. Rosie, is there any problem with the design of the monitoring system?"

Rosie shook her head: "No, I've finished the first draft, and I'm doing a mock test now, so it's probably not a big problem."

"That's good."

Su Qixi looked at the design model of the holographic projection.

The whole design model is very grand.

In the middle is a flat pie shape, a hollow structure with a diameter of 100 kilometers and an internal height of 500 meters.

It is surrounded by 6 small bases with a diameter of 5 kilometers. Its main function is to arrange auxiliary facilities and security facilities to ensure that there will be no out of control situation.

"Kraft, how's your security system going?"

With a calm face, Kraft replied confidently: "I have added a nuclear bomb to the self-destruct system, as well as a gamma ray cannon. I will never let anything in this project leak out."

After some understanding, Su Qixi re-updated the model of the design plan. He is also a doctor of architectural engineering, and his level of various design plans and new technology applications is almost the same as that of everyone present.

He asked about the part that other people were in charge of. The only problem now was how to deal with the excavated earth and stones.

After all, this is to hollow out a huge underground space with a diameter of 100 kilometers and a height of 500 meters.

So he had to find a way to use these rocks and soil.

This is not only to reduce the input of external materials, but also to avoid attracting attention.

Chapter 469 The Upheaval of Trade

The first year of Xinghe, October 9th.

Li Qingye went west all the way, inspected the 8 industrial areas of the Numidia branch, then turned south and entered the Chad branch.

After more than half a month of looking around, he has an intuitive understanding of the Numidia branch and the Chad branch.

For example, the headquarters of the Chad branch where Li Qingye settled down at this time - the city of N'Djamena.

A huge airship logistics center has been established here, which is one of the industries of the Ceylon Ocean Transport Group.

The manager in charge of the Chad branch, Kent Alpha, is a tall black man, and he is introducing some situations of the Chad branch to Li Qingye.

"This logistics center is currently the largest in the entire central African region, and it is also an important channel for us to radiate influence to surrounding areas."

"I heard that armed forces attacked the airship in the landing stage?" Li Qingye calmly looked at the transport airship that was descending and ascending in the sky.

Alpha's expression was a little dignified: "Yes, it's mainly some local forces who don't know how to praise them. Under the instigation of European and American forces, they tried to take advantage of them. We have dispatched the air and space fleet to completely clear these obstacles."

"Well, there's no need to be too polite with them." Li Qingye didn't care too much about the lives of the locals.

If you don't deal with it harshly, those people will make more progress in the future, thinking that Homo sapiens company is easy to bully.

He very much agrees with Alpha's handling method. Only by using the most violent means of retaliation can he be used as an example, so that when the ghosts and monsters in those places do things in the future, they will weigh in advance whether they can withstand the retaliation of Homo sapiens.

"Through killing chickens and monkeys several times, there is currently no objection to our cooperation plan in the central African region. We have also carried out exploration and planning for the rich surface minerals in various places."

Li Qingye glanced at the holographic geological exploration map in Alpha's hand, which was covered with dense mineral symbols.

Especially in the inland areas of Africa, there are many rich minerals on the surface, including no less than 11 large iron mines, with reserves exceeding 273 billion tons. In addition, there are bauxite, coal mines, copper mines, lead-zinc mines, tin mines, phosphoric acid Salt mines and such.

The reason why there are such rich surface minerals is related to the social environment of this place.

After all, this place used to be a colony of the Europa people. Although it became independent one after another after World War II, most of the area is still an economic colony.

Coupled with the turmoil in these places every three days, there is no stable social environment to develop the mining industry.

After all, their mining companies are not fools. Although there are rich mineral resources here, the infrastructure is very backward, and there are not even a few railways. It is a sinkhole to exploit inland mineral resources and invest in large-scale transportation facilities.

Not to mention the unstable social environment.

Even France, which worked hard in Africa, only developed a part of the coastal plain with convenient transportation, and they were powerless for the inland.

Similar to base metals such as iron ore, European and American companies have iron mines in the west of the Kangaroo Country and Vale in the Redwood Federation. Why bother to mine in the interior of Africa.

It is precisely because of the low cost performance that the surface rich minerals in inland Africa are still undeveloped.

Unless it is precious metal mines and gemstone mines, the local forces have no interest in mining at all.

Relying on the hard power of Homo sapiens, the Char branch has missed a large number of surface rich ore in the inland areas of Africa.

In fact, most of the local forces in the inland areas of Africa welcome Homo sapiens companies to invest in mining. As long as Homo sapiens companies do not engage in other things, everyone can still be good friends.

This is mainly because the price of Homo sapiens is relatively fair, and the gold dollar is also very strong.

For example, the city of N'Djamena at this time is not only a logistics center, but also a trade center in central Africa.

The gold dollars obtained after selling mines must be consumed.

Otherwise, where did the mountains of containers at N'Djamena Airport come from? It's not because the demand in central Africa is very strong.

A large amount of steel bars, cement, hardware, furniture, electrical appliances, electronic products, medical and medical consumables, grain and food produced by Homo sapiens are dumped to the whole of Africa on a large scale.

The cheap and high-quality Homo sapiens products, with its fast and safe transportation channels, have made other foreign companies doing trade in Africa complain to the sky. They found that this normal trade competition cannot compete with Homo sapiens at all.

Take steel as an example. Homo sapiens produces rebar. The retail price per ton in Africa is 240 gold dollars, and door-to-door delivery is also included.

At present, the US dollar has depreciated by about 50% against the gold dollar, and 240 gold dollars is roughly equivalent to 720 US dollars.

The problem is that in the current global steel industry, European and American steel companies (including free associations) only account for about 15.6% of the global total output.

Far East steel companies with the largest production capacity accounted for about 42%, and Homo sapiens accounted for about 37%.

However, most of the Far East steel enterprises are now processing supplied materials, and the source of their iron ore is Homo sapiens company, which can basically be regarded as an extension of the Homo sapiens company system.

For every ton of steel produced by Far East steel companies, they can obtain a nominal profit of 1 to 5 gold dollars and a quota of 10 tons of iron ore for their own use.

That is to say, if Far East steel companies produce 1 million tons of crude steel or customized steel for Homo sapiens, they can obtain a purchase quota of 5000 million tons of iron ore with a grade of not less than 50%. Within this quota, the price of iron ore It is basically the same as the internal price of Homo sapiens.

Under such circumstances, how could Far East Steel Enterprises give up the cooperation with Homo sapiens.

You know, just relying on the rated profit of 5 to 10 gold dollars per ton of steel, this is guaranteed income from droughts and floods, and is not affected by market fluctuations.

Otherwise, what does the Far East use to maintain investment and development in Central Asia? It’s not cheap steel, plus Lucia’s cheap oil, gas and food, and Central Asia’s own mineral resources.

In addition, Far East companies have also survived tenaciously in West Asia, Latin America and Africa.

It is one of the few forces that can barely compete with Homo sapiens.

Of course, this is just that Homo sapiens has not fully exerted its strength.

In addition, the forces in Asia, Africa and Latin America are worried about Homo sapiens companies doing things, and they intend to keep companies in the Far East, and even offer help, in order to prevent Homo sapiens companies from being dominant.

As for European and American companies, it is also through this method that they barely survived.

But how long they can last depends on whether they can bear this kind of low profit, or even lose money for a long time.

Anyway, Li Qingye is not optimistic about the strong support of European and American companies in Asia, Africa and Latin America. This kind of behavior that violates the laws of the market is still not a long-term solution for private companies, even with subsidies from the United States of America and the Europa Consortium.

Unless Homo sapiens suddenly blew itself up, Europe and the United States will be able to recover, otherwise it will be a vicious circle.

And will Homo sapiens blew itself up?

Obviously it is impossible.

Li Qingye has made a lot of preparations, even if he is assassinated now, Homo sapiens company can still be maintained.

Of course, the possibility of his being assassinated is very small.

He is active within the company and is surrounded by special security teams. On the surface, there is a special security battalion of 500 people, and there are at least four security teams that can quickly support at any time.

In addition, there are maritime escort fleets, air and space escort fleets, satellite defense and monitoring systems around.

Under this level of security, the successful assassination of Li Qingye is difficult for conventional forces.

4 Chapter Seventy

Li Qingye didn't stay in the Chad branch for too long.

The first year of Xinghe, October 9th.

Under the escort of the Aerospace Fleet, he arrived at the business area of ​​the Meroe branch. In order to avoid being too abrupt, he did not go directly to the Darfur Plateau, but went to South Meroe first.

The space carrier passed slowly over Juba City, the capital of South Meroe, and then landed at an airship airport on the east side.

Mapel, the manager of the Merroy branch, had been waiting at the airport for a long time.

As soon as Li Qingye got off the airship, he felt a wave of heat: "This place is really hot!"

Sanjibada Leyal hurriedly took a small electric fan to blow him air.

"Chairman, welcome to the Merroy branch. I'm Mapel, and I'm in charge of the company's regional operations and management." Mapel is not purely black, but a black-and-yellow mixed race on Mada Island, with a biased skin color. in Javanese.

Li Qingye commented with a smile: "This city is well built!"

"It is our honor to be in the eyes of the chairman, chairman, this is the industry directory of Juba City, please have a look."

Mapel presented a beautiful booklet with his hands.

Li Qingye took it and flipped through the brochures, all of which were the various projects and industries invested and constructed by the company in the local area.

For example, the Juba Dam is under construction. As the core city of the upper reaches of the White Nile, Juba has a very large river drop, which is very suitable for the construction of a dam.

He closed the booklet: "Go to the Air Rail Company to see it!"
