Homo sapiens.

In fact, it is similar to a donut, except that the donut should be hard, and the higher the strength, the better.

Li Qingye is very aware of the difficulty.

At the stage of its realization, the Homo sapiens company's demand for extraterrestrial resources was not as high as imagined.

For example, Homo sapiens is not too enthusiastic about mining helium 3 on the moon. The reason is that the resources on the earth can still support the company's development for decades.

Therefore, the ladder project is not a project that is eager for success, but a long-term project.

Maybe, in the future, the cloud palace project of Venus will be completed, and it is also very possible that the ladder project of the earth will not be completed.

While he was wandering, the train slowly stopped at the eastern part of Sumatra Island. The location of this station was not far from Xingdao, and it was specially set up for Xingdao.

He has not been back to Southeast Asia for more than a year, this time Li Qingye intends to use the synchronous robot to carefully inspect the situation of various branches in Southeast Asia.

Chapter 585 Continuous Innovation

Li Qingye's synchronous robot took the elevator from Daman Port Station in Sumatra Island, and went down to the ground station.

And this ground station is also connected to two air-rail lines and a subway at this time, one of which can go directly to Xingdao.

Using a special temporary pass, Li Qingye and several security personnel took the air train, a distance of more than 160 kilometers, and arrived at the destination - Xingdao South Station in less than 10 minutes.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Xingdao South Station, he could have a panoramic view of most of Xingdao Port.

However, at this time, the number of ships calling at Xingdao Port was much less than before. Most of the ships belonged to Homo Sapiens, and the rest belonged to a few oil tyrants in West Asia.

Of course, there are not too many ships in Xingdao Port. There is another important reason, that is, Homo sapiens owns a lot of transport airships, and the recent opening of the Stratospheric Railway has gradually sucked away the market share of shipping.

After all, transport airships can fly at an average speed of 200-400 kilometers per hour, while stratospheric railways are even more terrifying. The speed of cargo transport trains can reach 1200-2400 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the transport airship can transport up to 1.5 tons, and the maximum load train can reach 1.5 tons.

As a result, the low-cost advantage of sea transportation cannot withstand the efficiency blow brought by speed.

After all, the maximum speed of a large nuclear-powered transport ship is only 55 kilometers per hour.

Under the same distance, transport ships have transported once, transport airships have transported 6-7 times, and stratospheric railways have transported about 40 times.

The gap is really too big.

If it weren't for the advantages of transport ships such as super-large parts and cheap minerals, oil and gas, they would have been eliminated by transport airships and railways long ago.

Now the market size of container ships is the most serious loss.

This trend can be seen from the supply ships moored at Xingdao Port. Those slow-moving container ships are squeezed out by transport airships, air trains, and stratospheric railways, making them uncompetitive.

Li Qingye did not interfere with this kind of internal competition. After all, survival of the fittest is progress. Since you are behind, don't blame others.

There is no such thing as a big tail in Homo sapiens company. No matter how big the subsidiary or industry is, as long as it is out of date, the management will definitely take action to dismantle and divert it, instead of leaving the industry to rot.

This is one of the reasons Homo sapiens is strong.

A company is like a person, and Homo sapiens company is also a person, but once Homo sapiens company finds that its organs are aging or diseased, it will take the initiative to treat them, or simply replace them with new organs.

Only by doing so can we become stronger and stronger.

Anyone who tries to stop this process will be completely crushed by the company.

Li Qingye constantly adjusts Homo sapiens company's industrial chain and system procedures based on new technologies, in order to adapt the productivity to the operating system.

When he came to Xingdao, he did not notify the management staff of the local branch, but came quietly.

After all, he is now in the state of a synchronous robot, there is no possibility of being harmed, and he does not need to eat or drink. The accommodation is also very simple, as long as the robot is placed in the hotel.

Synchronous robots use nuclear batteries and do not even need to be charged.

He came out from Xingdao South Station.

Swiped the card directly at the rental station and rented a Ruby.

Although Li Qingye has a driver's license, he hasn't driven a car for more than 9 years. After all, he usually has a dedicated driver. For safety reasons, he must rarely drive.

He found that the penetration rate of liquid-filled electric vehicles is very high at the rental station, and it has reached 66%.

Driving a car, in fact, the auto-assisted driving system of this car is very powerful, and there is no need to worry about car accidents.

Xingdao is very prosperous. After the second transformation, the whole city is gradually developing into the model of a high-footed city.

The stilt city is not only suitable for tropical rain forests, but also for coastal cities, because coastal cities must beware of tsunamis.

Although Homo sapiens can predict earthquakes and even induce earthquakes, there is no way to prevent eruptions.

Therefore, coastal cities must have the ability to resist tsunami, especially in the coastal areas of Central America. The previous earthquake in California caused heavy losses to the coastal cities in the west of Aztec.

Facing the threat of a tsunami, it is obviously thankless to build dikes and the like.

After all, after the tsunami reaches the coast, the water will become shallower, which will cause the tsunami to rise suddenly, and the waves can reach tens of meters or even tens of meters in an instant.

Building a dam with a height of tens of meters is naturally not difficult for the Homo sapiens company at this time. The problem is that the project is too large, the cost performance is not high, and a lot of coastal flat land is wasted.

Since we don't adopt the plan of hard resistance, we should adopt the plan of temporarily avoiding the edge. The Gaojiao City, which was popular in the tropical rainforest area before, stands out among all the plans.

The main city of Xingdao is composed of 11 large and small stilt cities, which are about 50 meters above the ground.

The ground is either transformed into a park or a botanical garden, as well as roads and overpasses.

Even if a tsunami comes, the tsunami waves will rarely exceed 50 meters, which ensures the safety of coastal cities.

As for the rental station where Li Qingye rented cars on the ground, these ground facilities are actually not managed by the Upper Star Island City, but by the Lower Star Island City.

The so-called Xiaxingdao City is an underground city, and this kind of city will not be affected by the tsunami.

Once a tsunami warning is issued, people on the ground can quickly evacuate to Upper Xingdao City or Lower Xingdao City.

In response to natural disasters, Homo sapiens has always spared no effort in investing.

The Listening Truth system that has been promoted before, as well as the simulated earth, are now very complete. The prediction of large earthquakes will basically not cause too much error, and the error time can be reduced to within a week.

Of course, this kind of error is still a bit large. In order to reduce the error, Di Ting and the Institute of Geology have developed a new technology - earthquake induction technology.

The so-called earthquake induction technology is not to create earthquakes out of thin air, but to use the stress that already exists in the formation, and then find its weak point, and use hydrogen bombs to blast directionally, so that the formation can release the stress.

In short, this technology is to detonate the earthquake in advance in the formation that is about to erupt, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate prediction.

In addition, this technology has another function, that is, by detonating the earthquake in advance, the scale and destructive power of the earthquake can be effectively controlled.

After all, there is a one-week error in the forecast. During this period of time, the area must be closed and managed. This is too much trouble, and it is better to blast it directly and accurately.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve precise blasting. This is also the fundamental reason why Di Ting Company collects global stratum data. By establishing a simulated earth, we can find weak points in the stratum.

If no weak point is found, even a big Ivan-level hydrogen bomb will not be able to obediently make the stratum quake in advance.

The clean hydrogen bombs used by Di Ting Company for directional blasting usually have an equivalent of 500 to 5000 tons. The power of hydrogen bombs of this level must not be able to directly induce earthquakes, and can only attack weak points in the formation.

As for whether earthquake weapons can be developed in the future, Li Qingye reckons it is possible, but the cost performance is not high, and there is no need for that.

Chapter 586 I'm so confident

Li Qingye's car stopped slowly on Xingdao's Binhai Avenue.

He didn't get out of the car, just glanced at the harbour.

At this time, the sea level has dropped a lot, and with the influence of low tide, the water level of the port has dropped by nearly 4 meters.

This drop in water level would not be fatal to a deep-water port like Xingdao Port, but it would be a catastrophe for those ports whose water depth did not exceed 10 meters.

But at this time, Sing Tao Port did not sit still.

Although the proportion of sea freight in the total transportation of Homo sapiens has decreased, it does not mean that it is useless.

Shipping by sea still has a certain cost advantage for bulk minerals, large parts, reinforced concrete, etc. that do not require high timeliness.

Now Xingdao is already digging a submarine canal, which is taking precautions.

In the next 10 years or so, the global sea level will continue to drop by 13 to 15 meters, and now it has dropped to nearly 3 meters. The Strait of Malacca will become a canyon and plain of Malacca.

At that time, there will be no way for large ships to pass through the Malacca area.

Therefore, the Sing Tao branch and the Malacca branch are already trying to find a way to dig a submarine canal. For this purpose, they have even specially modified three canal-drilling ships, turning them into models that can completely sink into the bottom of the sea.

As for Xingdao and other coastal areas in Southeast Asia, they are also trying to find a way.

For example, according to the seabed topography, a sea city can be built. Even if the sea level drops by 100 meters in the future, this sea city can also be used as a new port.

Li Qingye stayed on Binhai Boulevard for more than ten minutes, then drove to Xingdao's technology exhibition venue.

The venue is in a gymnasium on the ground.

Many people were not too surprised to see a robot get off the car.

He took several security personnel into the venue.

Suddenly he stopped. This is the exhibition area of ​​biosynthetic materials. More than a dozen related subsidiaries of Homo Sapiens, such as Sea Snail, Mandalay Metallurgy, Nanyang New Materials, and Qingye New Materials, have set up special booths here. exhibition area.

He was staying in front of the sea snail new material exhibition area at this time. This subsidiary is the veteran of Homo sapiens.

Since the Xingdao technology exhibition is for internal communication, no other earth forces are invited to come, so many new technologies and achievements of secret technologies are displayed.

For example, the clothing synthesis machine launched by the sea snail in front of you.

"Sir, you are welcome to come and investigate." Although the female guide did not know which executive of the company was behind the synchronous robot, she still introduced it with a smile.

"This clothing synthesis machine, our company has adopted a new technology to integrate the synthesis mechanism of cotton, flax, Manila hemp, wool, spider silk, and silk into it. With artificial intelligence, it can quickly synthesize all kinds of clothes."

Li Qingye turned his head: "Xiao Lu, go and try."

Security guard Xiao Lu nodded: "Okay, sir."

The guide guides from the side: "Just put your hands in this device."

There is a concave model on the device that can be pressed with the palm of the hand. Xiao Lu put his hand on it, and suddenly some tiny tentacles popped out of the concave model of the palm.

This is the bio-based armor data connector, Xiao Lu knew what to do in an instant, and he sent the detailed shape and movement data of his body to it.

The device then pops up a holographic projection screen.

[Please select the type of clothing...style...details...]

Xiao Lu quickly ordered a t-shirt, and then asked for white and loose cotton material, and a famous quote written on the back.

[Begin manufacturing...]

According to Lu's body parameters, the humanoid model in the synthesis machine has almost the same appearance as Lu. Except for the absence of the head, the rest of the body is the same.

Due to Xiaolu's loose requirements, the model was automatically enlarged again.

Then, a large amount of cotton fiber was extracted from the material spare box of the synthesis machine, and a t-shirt was quickly assembled on the surface of the model.

The biosynthetic bacteria of the synthetic machine also started simultaneously, and began to connect fibers and fibers, completely eliminating the sewing process.

Dyeing does not need to be done separately, it can be done in one step directly in the synthesis machine, and the biological dyeing technology is used, the color is more natural and harmless.

In less than 10 minutes, a T-shirt was synthesized, and the residual culture solution was dried along the way.

Xiao Lu picked up the t-shirt, took off the special suit on his body, put on the t-shirt himself, and tried to move around for a while.

"Nice, fits great and doesn't itch like the previous outfit."

Li Qingye glanced at this T-shirt, and immediately saw the mystery in it. The one-piece synthesis raised the weaving fineness of cotton fibers to the same level as silk, and without sewing lines, it would naturally be very smooth.

He gave a rather pertinent comment: "It has certain application value for specialized clothing stores."

"Sir, you are so insightful." The narrator nodded.

This type of equipment launched by Sea Snail is definitely not for those employees, but for the company's clothing store.

With the explosive development of the economy, the pursuit of the quality of life of Homo sapiens employees is also gradually improving.

Although clothing companies in various places can make private orders, it usually takes about a week, and communication between the two parties is also a problem.

After all, Party A and Party B are not the same person after all.

The sea snail saw the market potential in this area. After aiming at the market, it developed a special clothing synthesis machine for this purpose.

Clothing stores can even set the clothing synthesis machine to a mode similar to that of a vending machine. As long as the customer operates it well, the equipment will automatically synthesize it, and can also provide mailing services.

This is the adjustment of the operating mechanism brought about by technological innovation.

Li Qingye continued to look at the other equipment of the sea snail.

For example, toy synthesis machines, gun synthesis machines, and general-purpose synthesis machines.

The general-purpose synthetic machine is the flagship product of the sea snail. This thing is not only used by various branches on the earth, but also widely used in the Homo sapiens space station in outer space, the moon base, the Venus cloud palace base, and the Utopia station on Mars. type synthesis machine.
