Homo sapiens.

This thing can synthesize various parts as long as special material microorganisms are inserted.

It is even possible to use the general-purpose synthesis machine to produce related spare parts and combine them into a new general-purpose synthesis machine, thereby achieving an exponential increase in production scale.

The reason why the Venus Cloud Palace project can expand crazily is that the general-purpose synthesizer of Homo sapiens on the earth can be used directly on Venus.

Now the area of ​​the Yungong floating platform on Venus has expanded to 2738 square kilometers, and then doubles every year.

Sea snails have laboratories and researchers in various outer space bases, specializing in biosynthesis technology to quickly synthesize qualified parts under other gravity conditions.

Li Qingye walked around the sea snail, and then went to the exhibition areas of several other material companies. These companies did not rest on their laurels, and also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the research and development of new technologies.

In fact, the innovation power of the major subsidiaries of Homo sapiens is very strong.

This is mainly due to Homo sapiens' characteristics of "non-bankruptcy" and "no unemployment". Under this general environment, the management is naturally not afraid to invest heavily in scientific research.

After all, the company will not go bankrupt. If it takes the wrong technical route, it will be reorganized at worst.

However, the current productivity meets most of the needs of all employees, and there are not many problems.

With money, resources, and a large number of talents, the company is not afraid of bankruptcy, and it will not be too afraid of investing heavily in scientific research projects.

Chapter 587 Control

Li Qingye controlled the synchronous robot and went to other exhibition areas of the venue.

Due to the huge investment of manpower and material resources, each subsidiary company of Homo sapiens has its own special technology.

For example, the Coral Construction Group in front of us, in addition to the engineered termites that have been put into use before, they have developed engineered coral polyps.

After several technological upgrades, engineered termites and engineered coral polyps have become extremely powerful.

Engineered coral polyps are specially used to build submarine projects, while engineered termites are used in surface projects, especially in large-scale projects. These two engineered organisms are more useful than engineering machines.

In the coral construction exhibition area, Li Qingye saw a building built on the sand, which was built with engineering termites.

The narrator also tried his best to explain the relevant situation to him: "...This is a simulated desert environment. Under a certain nutrient solution and food supply, engineering termites can quickly build their houses, roads, and dams."

Then the narrator called up the holographic projection.

In the picture is the yellow sand of the Sahara Desert.

However, in the yellow sand all over the sky, there are actually large buildings.

Li Qingye has been in Africa for more than a year, so he naturally knows what this is.

This is the inland of the central Sahara Desert. Even though Homo sapiens built countless seawater canals and a large number of seawater farmlands in the low-lying areas of the Sahara Desert, it still did not turn the inland of the central Sahara into a tropical grassland climate.

Originally, there was nothing in the Sahara Desert, but the wind will gradually push the sand from high places to flow down, and it will also cause sandstorms.

This poses a serious threat to the remodeled areas of the Suez branch and the Numidian branch.

Homo sapiens has been trying to tame the earth's climate, so naturally it will not compromise with sandstorms and desertification, but launched an extremely aggressive offensive.

The Coral Construction Group is one of the main forces of Homo sapiens to attack the desert.

For those large moving sand dunes, they hunted them by hunting.

And how to hunt sand dunes involves the engineering termites in front of us.

Normally, in order to completely wipe out a desert, Homo sapiens will adopt a whole set of plans, including: build a high-footed city, use the high-footed city as a point, radiate lines in all directions, connect the lines to form a network, and then a Mesh Solidification of a mesh.

Among them, Gaojiao City is the command center of engineering termites, as well as a supply station for nutrient solution and food. Disposable plastic pipes are used as lines to let engineer termites expand in all directions along these pipes, and the pipes can transport nutrient solution.

Engineered termites use nutrient solution and protein particles as food, and then use desert sand and soil as raw materials to continuously build various buildings.

Since it is for the purpose of eradicating deserts, there is no need to use steel bars, and there is no need to require the strength of the structure to be too high, as long as the engineering termites can complete the task with the fastest speed and the smallest cost.

There are about 5000 to 7000 million termites in this standard engineering termite colony. With sufficient nutrition, a building with a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters and a width of 0.5 meters can be built in one day. The strength of the building is comparable to that of ordinary cement. almost.

It seems that the speed is not good, but in fact, this is just a standard termite colony, and the coral construction group often invests tens of thousands of standard termite colonies at one time.

In other words, the termite colonies that Gaojiao City casts around can build buildings with a length of hundreds of thousands of meters in a day.

After dividing the desert into grids, the Coral Construction Group will invest in a second type of engineered termite, which can spit out special formic acid to quickly solidify the desert surface, and the thickness of the solidified layer can usually reach 2 to 3 centimeters.

In this way, Homo sapiens has wiped out millions of square kilometers of mobile deserts, firmly anchoring these mobile deserts.

The fixed desert has formed an endless spectacle in North Africa, and even in outer space, you can see the solidified area like terraced fields.

This solidified desert was not put there unused, but used to arrange solar panels.

At present, Sahara Energy Group, a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, has laid 37 square kilometers of solar panels in the solidified area of ​​Sahara, and the daily power generation is an astronomical figure.

And because a large number of solar panels are laid in the curing area, the curing layer under the solar panels does not receive too much solar energy, which leads to the fact that the temperature of the ground is not high during the day and becomes colder at night.

On the other hand, because Homo sapiens built seawater canals and seawater farmland in the low-lying areas in all directions of the Sahara Desert, the air humidity in the Sahara region has increased a bit.

The ultra-low temperature at night causes the water molecules in the air to condense on the back of the solar panels, which gradually increases the local surface humidity.

Now the Homo sapiens company has put some organic fertilizer and sand into these grids, and then spread the seeds of various low drought-tolerant herbaceous plants.

Many places have been turned into lush grasslands.

Sapiens Corporation, which has always believed that it can control the earth's climate, is leading the way in this regard.

Li Qingye also participated in several related climate symposiums in Africa, discussing how to control the climate of the Sahara Desert.

And solidifying the mobile desert area of ​​the Sahara Desert is a link in regulating the earth's climate.

Of course, Li Qingye also knows about some unknown and confidential projects, such as ocean current regulation projects.

Regarding how to control ocean currents, relevant researchers from Homo Sapiens have done various simulations and analyzes and come up with many solutions.

For example, dense guide towers are built on the seabed. These guide towers are required to adjust seawater temperature, salinity, pH, seaweed concentration, and oxygen concentration.

This project currently has several test sites, such as several core straits in Southeast Asia, and several ocean currents in the Ceylon Ocean, which are one of the test targets.

Originally, Homo sapiens would not conduct actual measurements of climate control research so soon.

However, as the North Atlantic warm current ceases to flow, which in turn causes systemic chaos in global ocean currents, this gives Homo sapiens a chance.

Anyway, the current global ocean currents are already chaotic, and Homo sapiens can naturally do ocean current control and guidance experiments without being too restrained.

By adjusting the parameters of seawater in and out of the Straits of Malacca and Lombok, many researchers have found that the climate can be controlled.

But this requires a major premise, that is, to completely control the entire earth. Whether it is shipping, land, or glaciers, sufficient control equipment needs to be arranged.

In addition, it is necessary to establish a global climate simulation system, preferably in low-Earth orbit, to build a device that blocks solar energy, such as a low-Earth orbit solar power generation system.

In this way, the intensity of solar radiation to the earth, ocean currents, surface temperature, and air humidity can be adjusted.

Although the climate control mechanism is just in its infancy, Li Qingye is still very confident in Homo sapiens.

After all, this is also the promotion core of a first-level civilization. If the climate and geological activities of the home planet cannot be controlled, then it cannot be called a first-level civilization.

Li Qingye came back to his senses and walked around the venue again before leaving Xingdao with a few security guards and heading to the next stop, Thonburi.

Chapter 588 Subtraction

Li Qingye is on his way to Thonburi for investigation.

On the other side, the U.S. Seventh Fleet stationed in Northeast Asia also ushered in its final moment. Patton still did not give in to the Japanese, and he made a decision.

That is to withdraw from Northeast Asia in an all-round way, even abandoning the Guam base, and preparing to return to Hawaii.

Obviously, as the former world hegemon, the Seventh Fleet would never surrender easily, especially to its own dog.

Galaxy 4, February 1nd.

The Seventh Fleet assembled at the Guam base did not dare to stop any longer. In order to obtain supplies, Patton even sold Guam and some islands in the Western Pacific to Homo sapiens.

And they not only got the supplies, but also got a batch of specific medicines to treat super monkeypox, even though these special medicines were just developed and had many untested side effects.

But no matter what the side effects are now, as long as the ability to reproduce can be preserved, it is already a blessing in misfortune.

The return of the Seventh Fleet this time will give the California consortium a powerful boost.

After all, the California consortium now controls the six states of California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska. It also controls the Third Fleet and the upcoming Seventh Fleet.

This makes the California consortium the strongest among the major forces in America.

But at this time, the California consortium was also feeling overwhelmed.

Although they stabilized the situation and quickly included Hawaii and Alaska into their camp, the fundamental problem remained unresolved.

For example, the impotent problem, the food problem, the nuclear bomb problem and the rebel problem.

Among them, the impotence problem and the food problem are internal.

The nuclear bomb problem and the rebel problem are external.

These problems have kept the California consortium exhausted, and there is no way to spare energy to unify America.

In fact, the problem of impotent people is too terrible for internal damage. Some of those impotent people who have become eunuchs have accepted the reality, some have chosen to commit suicide, and some have become lunatics.

San Francisco, the stronghold of the California consortium, has no way to avoid it.

Inside the secret headquarters of the California Consortium in the suburbs.

More than a dozen directors of the California consortium have been hiding here for several months. Although they obtained a batch of special medicine with serious side effects from the Seventh Fleet by air, they did not take it.

After all, the special medicine can only be taken after infection, and now they are not infected, so naturally they don't need to take it.

And today they held a secret meeting.

Hollande, one of the directors of the California Consortium and the only remaining banker of the California Consortium, glanced at the others:

"Everyone, the security in Alaska is the highest now. I plan to let some people go to Alaska to seek refuge."

"Alaska?" Jack Francis, who controls the technology capital of Silicon Valley, thought for a while, then nodded.

Others were fine, their families also needed a safe haven, and while Alaska's environment was harsh, it wasn't impossible.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Hollande raised another topic: "Everyone, the problem of impotence is becoming more and more serious. We cannot let it go, otherwise these people will destroy the achievements we have achieved so hard."

Riel Simpson, the man behind California's military wages, took a puff on his cigar: "Hoo...Hollande, what do you think?"

"Since they want to die, we will fulfill them." A trace of killing intent flashed in Hollande's sinister eyes.

"Kill directly?" Jack Francis frowned.

Hollande shook his head, then smiled maliciously: "Use this thing!"

He put something similar to a donut on the table.

"Isn't this?!" Riel Simpson's eyes widened. This thing is a new product developed by his company.

Hollande picked up the model: "It is the control collar, which captures all the troublemakers, and then installs the control collar. If you dare to resist us, the collar can release electric current, and there are four miniature directional bombs."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but there was no objection.

Although doing so will lead to the confrontation between the disabled and normal people, in the eyes of the consortium council, the disabled have lost their fundamental value.

After all, it has lost the ability to reproduce, so what is the use of this kind, except as cannon fodder and assembly line workers, it doesn't have much use.

A small number of scientific research elites have been protected by them, and the infected population is actually garbage in the eyes of all the directors.

If these impotent people rot obediently, the California consortium will not adopt such extreme methods. The problem is that some impotent people are already crazy, and they attack normal people when they see them. This is absolutely not allowed by the consortium council.

That's why Hollande is going to use the extreme method of controlling the collar. Anyway, the impotent will not have offspring, and normal people are the foundation of the consortium.

He smiled and explained to everyone: "Now 68% of our population has become disabled, and the rest of the normal people are concentrated in Washington State, Alaska and Hawaii, so we must use this method."

Others understood, too.

As long as the resources of the disabled are kept down, then normal people can obtain more resources.

This is like there are 10 people on the dining table, and there are 5 breads on the table, and each person needs to eat 1 bread to not be hungry. If it is evenly distributed, it is half of each person, then everyone is in a state of hunger.

If you want everyone to have one piece of bread, you need to continue making bread and increase the bread to 10. The problem is that there is not enough flour in the kitchen now.

If 6 of them eat only one-third of the bread, then the remaining 4 people will have 3.2 pieces of bread, so there is no need to continue making bread, and it is very simple to do so.

Instead of finding ways to make bread, it is better to reduce the supply of bread for some people.

That's what the California consortium thinks. Anyway, impotent people don't have much value, otherwise they will be forced to install control collars and use them as slaves.

Of course, none of the directors present were fools. They knew that doing so might spark conflicts instantly, so they had to make some excuses to cover it up.

For example, it is first used on prisoners in prisons, and those captives of rebels can also be installed forcibly.

First capture the impotent people with problems and put them in prison, let the localities settle down first.

The other is to fully recruit normal people as soldiers of the California Army to prevent the proportion of impotent people from being too high in the army.
