Homo sapiens.

Soon under the arrangement of Nord, the gas pipeline on the ship was quickly connected to the gas transmission valve at the port. This methane carrier converted from a 5000-ton bulk carrier transported 4000 tons of methane, which is about 200 million cubic meters. .

The Basel family contracted the methane gas sales in Basel Town and surrounding areas, and the two parties cooperated to monopolize the gas industry in Basel Town.

In addition, the Basel family also opened a food wholesale market in the local area, and the partners are Haitian Agriculture and Harvest House.

But this kind of cooperation is not unconditional. The Basel family must listen to the Lopez family.

In fact, the various families in Luzon can be understood as princes. After the Basel family was trained as a comprador, they lost their diplomatic rights and had to maintain the same position as the Lopez family.

Don't think that the Basel family is unaware of the problem, but they understand a truth, that is, what is gained must be lost.

After contracting local gas, food, and building materials, their family's income from plantations and land rent became irrelevant.

However, not all families are willing to cooperate, and some families are very resistant and vigilant.

But they cannot stop the trend of the times.

Once the surrounding areas join the Homo sapiens system, those areas that have not joined will have a clear sense of gap.

It may not be obvious at the beginning, but as time goes by, this gap will become bigger and bigger.

Moreover, the security department of Homo sapiens company, its external intelligence force is not good men and women. For those who are hostile to Homo sapiens company, they will use various methods to pursue them until they die or withdraw.

In this way, 42% of the entire Negros Island has been controlled by the Lopez family. Even if the Xu-A family alliance has reacted, there is still no way to withstand the attack of the Lopez family.

In the face of interests, even brothers can be betrayed, let alone a loose alliance of the same family.

Many small families that were previously attached to the Xu-A family alliance changed their banners very wisely.

The Basse family is one of them.

This is also one of the reasons why Master Basel is very pleased with Nord. After all, Emerald Energy represents the Lopez family, and it is also the way for his family to make a fortune.

The methane gas is rushed through the pipelines and pressed into storage tanks at gas stations controlled by the Basel family.

Seeing that Nord had ordered the crew, Master Basel hurriedly asked in a low voice:

"Brother Nord, this month's 10 square meters are selling a bit fast, can you have a 10-square-meter gas storage tank for the upper town of Basel?"

"This..." Nord looked embarrassed.

Master Basel quickly stuffed an envelope: "This is a collective request letter from the residents of the whole town."

Nord touched the thickness of the envelope, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Haha, since it is the request of the residents of the whole town, I will definitely explain the situation to the company and make arrangements for Basel Town as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much, Brother Nord, we won't be drunk today." Master Basel smiled.

But Nord shook his head: "No, I have to go to Bayawan in the afternoon to send the remaining gas there, so I can't drink."

"That's such a pity."

"Next time definitely."

The two of them came to the biomass compression factory in Basel town, which is also one of the industries of the Basel family, specializing in the production of biomass powder blocks.

In fact, it is dried dead branches and rotten leaves, crushed and compressed into cubes of one cubic meter each. These biomass cubes will be transported back to the methane plant in Panay Island.

The reason for this is not that there are no such things as wood and hay in Panay Island, but to save fuel.

Even if Emerald Energy joins other subsidiaries to transform some of the transport ships so that they can burn methane to reduce the dependence on foreign fuel.

However, due to the large-scale gas turbine technology of Homo sapiens, it has not been conquered. Now only a small number of ships under [-] tons are equipped with self-produced gas turbines. Ships over [-] tons can only use gas-assisted combustion, which cannot completely replace heavy oil.

Therefore, during the operation of the ship, economic benefits must be considered.

For example, a ship transporting methane, after transporting the gas to the destination, if it is in an empty state during the return voyage, then its fuel consumption is definitely not economical, but the ship must return.

Therefore how to utilize this invalid shipping has become an important issue.

After a series of technical and program verifications, it was finally chosen to increase the task of transporting raw materials during the invalid shipping of the return voyage.

For example, the Nord ship, after the unloading of the methane transported, will load biomass cubes at the port along the return voyage to reduce the time for the empty ship to return to the voyage.

In this situation where different cargoes need to be loaded and unloaded, the adaptability of the vessel must be considered.

The air storage tanks of this Nord transport ship are set in the middle and bottom of the ship, and the side decks are reserved for loading and unloading areas for small containers.

In this way, the transportation cost of each subsidiary that needs to be shipped by sea has been greatly reduced.

In addition to supplying biomass blocks, Basel Town also provides wood, rice, and tobacco.

Traffic is always an embarrassing problem for the archipelago.

Especially for those islands that are not too big or small, cost and passenger flow are big problems when building cross-sea bridges and airports. Usually, they can only rely on ship shipping.

For these small islands, the Homo sapiens companies that have formed a tight system are rapidly covering these islands with the influence of shipping logistics, gas, food, and raw material procurement.

Big families can only hide and defend on large islands.

But there is not much time left for them, the invisible giant net is being tightened little by little until they are completely hanged.

When Nord left the town of Basel.

One of the capitals of Negros Island, Bacolod City.

The Xu family is also holding internal meetings to discuss the recent infiltration of the Lopez family in Negros Island.

As a family alliance, the relationship between the Xu family and the Aquino family is not solid. Although relying on the relationship of family marriage, the marriage is not a real family after all.

Now facing the aggressive Lopez family, the Xu family has already felt that the situation is not good, but the Aquino family in Manila has also been suppressed recently.

This made some people in the family start to think about whether to continue to maintain the alliance.

And some members who advocate cooperation with the Fernando family and the Lopez family have also become more and more powerful.

Chapter 77 Another Success

In the oppressive hall.

More than a dozen contemporary speakers of the Xu family were all sitting on wooden chairs.

The head of the family, Xu Qinxue, is a square-faced Mediterranean in his 50s. He looked at the family members present, with a trace of fatigue and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"These days, I have also heard a lot of voices below. The Aquino family and we are an alliance of in-laws. If we abandon this alliance, we will not be able to fight against Fernando, Lopez, Marcus, and Ayala alone."

Xu Yingming, the person in charge of the eighth room, sneered: "Hehe, can we fight without giving up the alliance? Is it still the same as before? Aquino is almost unable to stand in Manila."

"Yingming, I heard that you had a great cooperation with some people in Port Bais?" Xu Qin asked with a smile on his face.

Facing the patriarch's questioning, Xu Yingming replied unabashedly: "So what? At least I have increased the family's income a lot. As the old saying goes, a man who knows current affairs is a brilliant man. Third uncle, you are getting old."

"Hmph! Short-sightedness! I'm not so ignorant that I can't see the form clearly." Xu Qinxue was furious, and immediately complained.

But he didn't notice the coldness and disdain in Xu Yingming's eyes.

'With a group of insects, how to save the family? The killing intent in Xu Yingming's heart became stronger and stronger.

Immediately, he gave him a veiled look, and Xu Yingqi, the other speaker sitting at the back, looked at him, and then the other party pressed the controller in his pocket.

Xu Qinxue, who was losing his temper with everyone, was suddenly disturbed by the buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears.

It's just that Xu Qinxue soon felt that something was wrong, a lot of double images appeared in front of his eyes, and then he saw other people were also in a mess, and finally his eyes went black.

clap clap clap...

"Yingqi, you did a good job." Xu Yingming smiled and applauded.

Xu Yingqi replied coldly: "I am not for you, but for the family."

Today's scene, without the cooperation of Xu Yingqi, who is a member of the big house, would not have been so easy, because this person is the person in charge of security work in a manor.

Xu Yingming smiled and said nothing, after all, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

After he was secretly recruited by Sapiens Company to become the spider web manager, he has been secretly selecting suitable helpers, and Xu Yingqi, a young man of the same generation, quickly entered his goal.

This person was chosen not only because Xu Yingqi belonged to the eldest family, but also because of two other reasons. First, Xu Yingqi was in charge of the family's security work; second, Xu Yingqi had a feud with the Aquino family.

After Xu Yingqi's younger sister married the Aquino family, she suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the sea. This incident made him very sad, but facing the authority of the patriarch, he only received 500 million pesos as compensation from the Aquino family.

As a brother and sister who have depended on each other since childhood, money can't smooth out the anger and hatred in his heart.

At this time, Xu Yingming appeared.

After seeing the strength of Homo sapiens company, and the fact that the other party asked him to kill the garbage that killed his sister, Xu Yingqi didn't have any resistance.

At this time, Xu Yingqi's heart was extremely complicated.

'I want to completely end this dirty marriage system, the tragedy of my sister should not be repeated again. '

As a member of a big family, especially a woman, the so-called freedom of marriage basically does not exist, especially for members whose parents have no say, after marriage, even if they are not satisfied, there is no way to divorce, because it will destroy the relationship between the two. family relationship.

His younger sister couldn't stand the bullying from her husband's family, and wanted to divorce but couldn't get the support of her natal family, so she had to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

Xu Yingqi changed from that moment on.

He hated his incompetence, and hated his family's ruthlessness even more.

Putting away the gray memories, Xu Yingqi quickly transferred the soldiers he had inserted in, and began to reform the speakers present.

At the same time, in the name of the head of the family, he ordered Xu Qinxue's wife to take her daughter to the Aquino family in Manila to get in touch with the Aquino family.

Xu Qinxue's wife is from the Aquino family, so naturally he has no objection to this.

At noon that day, I flew to Manila.

Meanwhile, Xu Qinxue's eldest son was working in Baohe Island, and his youngest son was studying in Xingdao. As for the rest of the family, they had no right to speak.

Before preparing to act, Xu Yingqi and Xu Yingming had long imitated the voices of the speakers through recording.

Through the voice simulator, and the phones on the bodies of all the speakers, they quickly appeased the branches in various places, using the excuse of having a meeting for about a week, and not calling if there was nothing to do.

With the cooperation of the two, together with the support of the Security Department and the Internal Affairs Department, the core members of the Xu family were taken over in one go.

By the time the so-called meeting ended, Xu Qinxue and the others had turned into emotionless soldiers.

This also marks that the Xu family has been controlled by Xu Yingming and Xu Yingqi.

……

Bandon Island.

Xu Yingming arrived here secretly by submarine.

That's right, take a submarine.

Luzon is a very special place. The strengths of each family are intricate. They naturally have their own military spokespersons supported by them. It's just a matter of power.

The Lopez family, the Fernando family, plus the Dutt family and the Tusun family, they can influence at least two-thirds of Luzon's troops, and even have a part of the direct line army that is completely subordinate to the family.

The Fernando family has a great influence in the Luzon Navy. This year, the Fernando family and the Lopez family jointly paid for the Navy to order three submarines from the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company through a special donation.

In fact, this new Luzon shipbuilding company is a newly formed medium-sized shipyard after the integration of the shipyards owned by the two families.

The shipbuilding industry in Luzon is actually not bad, mainly because South Korea and Dongying have invested in many shipyards here, forming a relatively good foundation.

Although the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company is not as good as the Korean and Dongying shipbuilding companies, after the integration, it can barely build a 2-ton cargo ship.

As for building submarines, they are rushing ducks to the shelves, and they don't expect them to build attack submarines, nuclear submarines and the like.

The task Li Qingye gave them was to accumulate experience.

The first submarine produced here, the mackerel class, has a displacement of 550 tons, uses conventional diesel-electric power, and has a low speed of 8 knots underwater and 12 knots above water.

It's more rubbish than the submarines of World War II.

But the advantage is high comfort, more redundancy, and better security.

The only bright spot is that the noise is relatively small. The sound-absorbing tiles of the boat body are a specialty of Homo Sapiens, which are more powerful than the sound-absorbing tiles of America, and can actively absorb the sound waves of active sonar.

This is manufactured using biological nanomaterials designed on the principle of bionics.

In Li Qingye's view, the core elements of a submarine are actually concealment and safety, while aggressiveness is secondary.

After all, what is the difference between a submarine that cannot hide and a surface ship?

Therefore, the mackerel class chose to sacrifice other performance and focus on safety and concealment.

The mackerel 001 that Xu Yingming took was officially put into use more than half a month ago.

In fact, in the dock of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company, since it was divided into two shipyards for construction, a total of 6 mackerel-class ships were built, but the management of the company blurred the accounts of the two shipyards and closed The news made the outside world think that only 3 ships were built.

Among them, the three mackerel-class ships planned to be delivered to the Luzon Navy are versions without sound-absorbing tiles.

And mackerel 001 is used by Homo sapiens itself.

The purpose of choosing to use submarines is to avoid satellites in the sky. If Bandon Island is often visited by ships and there are no residents on it, it will easily attract attention after a long time.
