Chapter 339: Development (Part 2)
Construction workers wearing exoskeleton armor quickly got off the Jinpeng transport plane.
They lined up in an orderly manner, like a powerful army.
Although Hongku Port does not have a high-standard airport, the Jinpeng transport aircraft has very low requirements for the runway. As long as there is a 800-meter-long flat cement ground, landing and takeoff can basically be achieved.
"Report, the 7530 Engineering Battalion should have 500 people, and the actual number is 500." The engineering team leader Su Lin saluted and reported the situation.
Xu Yingcheng nodded: "Very good, Captain Su, please execute according to the plan!"
"yes!"
Semaru, who came with him, looked at the "construction team" in front of him speechlessly. They were fully armed with exoskeleton armor, and you actually told me that they were construction workers? Do you Homo sapiens really think I'm a fool?
Xu Yingcheng patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Mr. Semaru, don't make a fuss. All our employees in the company need to undergo some safety training. It's not too much to bring some training equipment, right?"
"Isn't this too much..." Semaru reminded humbly.
Xu Yingcheng continued with a fake smile : "Not much, not much. After all, everyone needs it, and the future is long! Natural disasters and man-made disasters are definitely unavoidable. If this port is destroyed, then our export of your grain and cooking oil may be in trouble."
The threat in those words was almost explicit.
Semaru was angry but dared not say anything about this.
As Egypt's population approaches 100 million, coupled with its special bread subsidy, the natural population growth rate has soared, and the annual food demand has also increased.
Egypt's food self-sufficiency rate has also been declining year by year. After all, the arable land is limited, while the population is growing wildly. If it does not import food, it will surely explode.
How much food does 100 million people need?
According to the international food subsistence line, 400 kilograms per person per year, 40 million tons of food are needed each year.
Now Egypt will not be able to achieve food self-sufficiency unless it converts all its cotton fields that grow long-staple cotton into wheat fields.
Semaru knew this very well, and that was why he chose to swallow his anger at this moment.
Currently, the prices of major grain exporting countries in the world are not as cheap as those of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens only charges 130 gold yuan per ton of mixed flour, which is equivalent to 260 US dollars per ton.
Even ABCD, which has a lot of subsidies, cannot achieve this price. ABCD would rather use the wheat to make feed than sell it at $260 per ton.
Egyptian government and private enterprises have signed a total of 37 food purchase agreements with Homo sapiens, and are expected to sell .
These procurement agreements saved Egypt at least US$8 billion.
Faced with such benefits, they are willing to endure the bullying of Homo sapiens given their low income to begin with and the current global economic crisis.
Semaru left worriedly, as he had to clean up the mess caused by the actions of the Homo sapiens again.
However, Xu Yingcheng did not care about the other party's thoughts. The low-priced food from the Intelligent Company was not so easy to get, otherwise people would really think that Intelligent Company was doing charity.
Since you have taken advantage of Homo sapiens, you have to pay the price and don’t try to get away with it.
Obviously, Semaru and the people behind him are aware of this. They can only help Sapiens find excuses and legal reasons to legalize everything and prevent anyone from causing trouble for Sapiens.
Although it seems that the trouble that others are causing to Homo sapiens has no direct relationship with Semaru and his group.
The problem is that they are the force that signed the agreement with Homo sapiens, so they will definitely not be able to escape when the time comes.
What's more, Homo sapiens are not easy to mess with.
…
The engineering team arrived at the port and recruited thousands of local people from nearby towns and villages. They were quickly reorganized into small teams of 10 people, led by more than 100 new human employees.
Taking into account local cultural customs, members of this engineering team were dispatched from Java, Malacca and Borneo.
Su Lin looked at the tablet in his hand, which had a planned task flow chart on it, a bit like playing a farming game.
At the port terminal, there are mountains of containers, cement, steel bars and construction vehicles, and they cannot be handled in a haphazard manner.
"Third Squadron, you are responsible for driving the engineering vehicles to the temporary parking area. The forklift team and the transport team will start moving the steel bars and cement to Warehouse No. 4 and Warehouse No. 5."
"yes."
"clear."
Su Lin instructed another squadron, "Second Squadron, you are responsible for building the supporting facilities of the dock."
"no problem."
"Fourth Squadron, you are responsible for setting up a temporary accommodation area."
"receive."
"Fifth Squadron, you are responsible for setting up a temporary power distribution station."
"yes."
The first squadron was previously assigned to manage local temporary workers.
The entire engineering team was busy with their respective duties.
As a large number of construction vehicles and equipment were pulled away, a large area was soon vacated at the dock. Based on the interfaces and latch points reserved in advance, a large crane was quickly assembled.
The other side.
Ultra-high voltage transmission towers also extend from one side of the dock to the open space on the west side 2.7 kilometers away from the port dock area.
More than a dozen containers were lifted by a crane onto this open space. Inside these containers were pre-designed modular substation equipment , distribution equipment, etc. They did not require secondary assembly and could be used directly after just connecting the lines.
Those local temporary workers who came here for internship felt the oppression of industrial civilization for the first time when they looked at the progress of the project.
Just like building blocks, a distribution station rose from the ground.
The new human leading the team was already used to this: "Hurry up, don't be distracted."
Several temporary workers quickly put iron hooks on the steel grid that had just been tied up by the fast tying machine. The steel grid was 30 centimeters thick, 4 meters high and 4 meters long.
The crane lifted the entire steel grid and moved slowly until it stopped above a trench, with steel columns driven in advance on both sides.
"Quick, a little to the left."
The new human captain directed the temporary workers to adjust the position of the steel grid.
Then he picked up the intercom: "You can go down."
"Hiss... Got it."
The crane slowly lowered the steel mesh, and soon the steel mesh was inserted into a 1-meter-deep trench and was stuck right between the two pillars.
Another group quickly followed.
First, use special connection hardware to connect and lock the two steel grids and columns.
Then two jacking machines support the two sides of the steel grid to form a template frame.
Concrete mixer trucks and concrete pouring trucks will use seawater to mix concrete and pour it in the middle of the formwork.
On the special pouring vehicle, the pipe outlet for pouring concrete is also connected to a relatively small water injection pipe, which is used to inject a special solution that can accelerate the solidification of concrete.
In less than 40 minutes, the roof machine began to retreat, revealing the reinforced concrete wall that had already solidified.
Using this series of engineering machinery and fast-setting seawater concrete, one shift can build a 48-meter-long wall.
There are a total of 6 such construction teams. If they work overtime, they can build 500 to 600 meters of high-strength walls a day.
This is the speed of engineering construction of Zhiren Company. A 500-person engineering team, plus some temporary workers, can complete the infrastructure construction of a city with a population of 100,000 within a few months.
With such a fast and efficient engineering team and engineering technology, various infrastructures within the Sapiens Company have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
