Chapter 307: Full Line
August 5th.
Manila City.
Lilith Lopez on an island in Laguna, Manila.
At this time, the entire lake island had been transformed into a large park. He led a group of internal media reporters and a dozen specially invited foreign news media reporters into the huge building with a sign that read "Manila - Lake Park Station".
Robert, a BBC reporter, and his old acquaintance Catherine from the Mirror, were invited. He smiled and whispered to Catherine:
"Is it necessary to build such a huge bus station on such a small island? Is this to scare us? Haha..."
Catherine hadn't spoken yet.
Inoue, a reporter from the Yomiuri Daily who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Maybe this is a secret base?"
"Really?" Robert was noncommittal.
But when Lilith Lopez and her group walked into the elevator that could accommodate 50 people , the reporters did not realize that it was an elevator and thought they had come to a small room.
Lilith smiled and explained, "Don't be nervous, this is just an elevator."
elevator?
Before they could react, they felt a slight vibration under their feet and the large elevator began to descend.
Robert's eyes were filled with doubt and he whispered, "Is it really a secret base?"
Two minutes later, the elevator door opened.
What comes into view is a Spanish-style station hall.
“Welcome to Manila Lake Park Station.”
Catherine raised her glasses and said, "Subway station?"
Lilith stopped and waved her hand to signal her assistant to distribute a route guide to all reporters.
Lilith then signaled to the media inside Sapiens that they could begin.
The reporter from Manila TV picked up the microphone and said to the camera: "Good morning, everyone. I am Sang Ye, a reporter from Manila TV. I am currently at Manila Lake Park Station, which is one of the stations on the Southeast Asia Circular Railway..."
"The company used new technology to build a railway connecting this Luzon archipelago. Currently, the Balabac Strait Undersea Tunnel, the Karimata Strait Undersea Tunnel, and the Malacca Strait Undersea Tunnel have been completed..."
"Southeast Asia Loop Railway..."
Robert and others who were looking at the route guide at this time were already stunned.
This Southeast Asian circular railway is built entirely underground and under the sea.
Starting from Aparri City in the north of Luzon Island, it passes through Luzon Island, Mindoro Island, Palawan Island, Borneo Island, Sumatra Island, Sing Island, Malay Peninsula, Kra Canal, Tanindayi Coast on the west side of the Thani Thaung Mountains, Shan Plateau, Kachin State, and finally ends in Myitkyina City in Kachin State.
The total length is 8,137 kilometers, and all of them are four parallel lines.
"Are you kidding?" Robert's eyes were filled with disbelief. After all, the length was too long, and the entire line was underground and under the sea.
The scale of this project is simply terrifying.
Even if a construction fanatic came here, he would not be able to handle such an exaggerated scale of underground facility construction.
However, Mitsui of the Yomiuri Shimbun touched his chin and looked around thoughtfully. This underground station did not seem to have been built recently, but seemed to have been in operation for some time.
Mitsui thought of the place of Assam again.
Now the entire Assam region is basically in a deserted state. At least from the satellite images, there is no obvious human activity on the surface.
If the Sapiens Company can really complete the Southeast Asia Circular Railway within a few years, then the situation in the Assam region will have another possibility.
That is the Assamese people, who have really gone underground.
Just when a group of foreign media reporters were wondering.
Six media outlets within Sapiens also completed interviews and reports.
Finally, we came to the foreign media.
Catherine immediately picked up the recorder and said, "Ms. Lilith, does the Sapiens Company intend to officially operate this railway?"
Lilith nodded and said, "Yes, starting today, the Southeast Asia Circular Railway will be connected to the underground railways in various regions to serve the employees of the Sapiens Company. It will also be open to foreign tourists."
"Then may I ask, how did the Homo Sapiens Company complete more than 8,000 kilometers of four-line subway railway in such a short period of time?" Catherine asked hurriedly.
"Our company has developed some brand-new technologies. Of course, I am not a professional when it comes to technical issues."
Catherine asked again: "How can the safety of this railway be guaranteed? As far as I know, Southeast Asia is located at the junction of plates, with many earthquakes and volcanoes. If a major earthquake occurs in the future, can this railway withstand these natural disasters?"
Lilith shook her head: "Don't worry, our company has made all preparations. Even if a magnitude 9 earthquake occurs, the impact will not be too serious."
A magnitude 9 earthquake?
Is the impact not serious?
Are all of you in the Homo Sapiens company so confident?
Other foreign media reporters secretly complained in their hearts.
After three questions, it was Mitsui from the Yomiuri Shimbun's turn. His questions were very tricky:
"Excuse me, does your company have any intention to undertake overseas projects?"
Lilith smiled and replied, "Of course, technology is developed to benefit mankind and the world. If other regions have ideas for building underground railways, they can consult the Coral Construction Group."
"The second question is, among the large railways built by your company, two of the lines are sub-vacuum pipeline railways. Can their transportation speed really reach 750 kilometers per hour?"
Lilith nodded: "750 kilometers per hour is the maximum speed. These two railway lines are mainly used for cargo and are also unmanned."
Mitsui narrowed his eyes and said, "I see. Will your railway connect Assam and Ceylon in the future?"
When the other reporters heard this question, their eyes lit up and they pricked up their ears for fear of missing anything.
Lilith lied with her eyes open: "Ceylon will definitely be connected to the railway in the future, and the problems in the Assam region are the Assamese people's business, and have nothing to do with the Sapiens Company."
Haha, it doesn’t matter?
Without the support of your company, Assam would have been razed to the ground by India long ago.
Robert took advantage of the opportunity to ask, "If India attacks Assam, will the Sapiens Company intervene?"
"As long as the interests of the Homo Sapiens Company are not infringed, there is naturally no need for the Homo Sapiens Company to intervene." Lilith spread her hands .
What this means is that Assam has the interests of the Sapiens Company. Do you think we should intervene?
"What is your company's response to the recent independence petition in Java?" Robert continued to ask.
Lilith's smile became even brighter. "We have resolved their demands and they are very satisfied."
"Does the solution of the Homo Sapiens Company mean throwing them onto the high seas?" Robert continued to ask.
"Mr. Robert, I need to give you some common sense. Everything in the Sapiens Company belongs to our chairman. What right do they have to demand those lands?"
"Their ancestors..."
Lilith smiled and said, "You are wrong again. From the moment Java agreed to merge with Sapiens, everything in Java belonged to Sapiens. Since they are unwilling to work for the company, the company will naturally not waste resources on them. Isn't it natural for a private company to fire employees?"
Robert was still unwilling to give up: "But they didn't get the compensation they deserved."
"You can ask them to sue Sapiens."
When everyone heard this, they almost burst into curses.
Sue Sapiens? Who will be the judge?
