Chapter 344 You Know Nothing About My Power
A week has passed since Matruh reported the previous in-depth cooperation agreement back to Cairo.
This so-called deep cooperation agreement has sparked heated discussions in Cairo. Some people are in favor of cooperation, while others are against it, but more people have an ambiguous attitude.
It was mainly the 20-year reprieve from the Sapiens Company that played a big role in breaking down the resistance of some people.
Although I knew that this would make me a frog in the boiling water like Homo sapiens, that would be twenty years later after all.
Based on Egypt's current natural population growth rate, it is estimated that the population will grow to around 130 million in 10 years, and may reach around 160 million in 20 years.
Among the current population of 110 million, 40% live in poverty, and among the remaining 60%, most can barely make ends meet.
Food, oil, natural gas, and daily necessities all need to be imported. If they don't find a way to solve these problems, they will self-destruct without the Sapiens company having to do anything.
Instead of waiting to die, it is better to sell yourself to the Homo Sapiens company.
As for those rich people, they are actually not stupid. Even if Homo sapiens controlled Egypt, the worst that could happen is that they and their families could run to Europe and the United States, or simply work for Homo sapiens companies. No matter what choice they make, the result will not be too bad.
This naturally reduced the resistance of many people.
After heated discussions, Cairo finally decided to form a special investigation team to go to Hongku Port for an investigation for a period of time.
Those who held opposing views were stuffed into the expedition team to let them witness the tyranny of the Homo Sapiens company.
As long as more than 75% of the members of the inspection team agree to the in-depth cooperation agreement with the Sapiens Company, everyone will be happy.
Hongku Port.
Matrou personally received the 150 members of the delegation at the temporary airport.
at the same time.
Two canal dredging ships sailing from Southeast Asia also arrived at Piers 12 and 13 of Hongku Port.
When Xu Yingcheng heard that the Cairo inspection team was coming, he led a group of people to the coast 3.4 kilometers north of the port.
The leaders of the expedition were also confused at this time. One of them, a middle-aged man with a horse face, asked Matruh in a low voice:
"Matru, what is the Homo sapiens going to show us?"
"Uncle Idefu, I'm not sure either." Matru shook his head.
"Haha, are they trying to scare us with the cannon?" said another bearded man with a wry smile.
The leader of the opposition, Sey, warned: "Mute, shut up!"
Although they are very resistant to Sapiens, it does not mean that they are willing to confront it directly, especially in such a public place. Saying some sarcastic remarks to ridicule the other party is simply courting death.
The bearded Mutt quickly apologized: "Mr. Saiyi."
After standing on the beach under the scorching sun for more than ten minutes, everyone was already sweating profusely.
On the contrary, Xu Yingcheng seemed calm and composed under the scorching sun. The new humans have symbiotic worms in their bodies that can carry out photosynthesis directly through mitochondria, so they would feel energetic after basking in the sun.
He did bring these guys to the beach to sunbathe on purpose.
Waited for more than half an hour.
The canal-opening vessel Giant Rhino No. 1, which arrived late, finally adjusted its parameters and slowly drove to the coast here.
Matru looked at the huge ship in front of him with a puzzled expression.
But he soon found out why Giant Rhino No. 1 came here.
The catamaran-structured Giant Rhino No. 1 was seen slowly sinking 45 meters, with almost 80% of the hull submerged below the sea surface.
Then the two thorium-based molten salt nuclear reactors operated at full capacity, and the surging electrical energy drove the propellers, pushing the hull closer to the coast little by little.
As we get closer to the coastline, the water depth becomes shallower and shallower, and finally hits the bottom 1.3 kilometers away from the coastline.
This also means that Giant Rhino No. 1 is about to start digging channels.
The drill bit and reamer teeth made of high-strength cemented carbide are inserted into the soft seabed mud and sand, quickly crushing the mud and rocks blocking the way ahead, and then spraying them to both sides through the sand extraction pipes.
Because the seabed mud was relatively soft, the 1.3-kilometer distance was shoveled away in less than 20 minutes.
The members of the expedition team on the shore no longer cared about the scorching sun and watched the huge ship move towards the coast bit by bit.
It was not until the Giant Rhinoceros 1 rushed across the coastline and headed towards the interior of the land that they woke up from their dream.
After entering the land, although seawater continued to pour in from behind as the channel was opened, the Giant Rhino No. 1 maintained a certain buoyancy.
But its buoyancy is not as good as that in the sea, so a hidden cabin was opened above the deck and a huge tracked chassis was extended to both sides.
Boom! The 5-meter-high crawler chassis slammed heavily on the ground, leaving a 20-meter-wide indentation.
At the same time, the pressure tanks at the bottom of the cabin began to pump out some seawater to increase the overall buoyancy of the hull and reduce the weight of the hull itself.
After adjusting all this, Giant Rhino 1 continued to move inland.
The roaring cutting sound crushed all obstacles along the way, turning them into powdered mud and sand, and spewed them onto the wasteland on both sides.
As the Giant Rhino 1 left, a huge channel 120 meters wide and 45 meters deep was left in the area it passed through.
The channel has been filled with seawater, and the loose is collapsing on a large scale under the erosion of seawater.
Gulp! Matruh swallowed, and only then did he realize that this kind of boat could actually sail onto land.
Idefu, Saiyi, Mute and others were also shocked.
Although I have seen the working scenes of the Haili in various Internet reports, it is a completely different experience from watching it up close.
Next to the Giant Rhino No. 1, they suddenly felt their own insignificance.
Xu Yingcheng came over and introduced with a smile: "This is the giant rhino-type canal-opening boat developed by our company. It is mainly used to dig canals and water channels. It can crush everything that stands in its way."
Mute was sweating profusely and didn't dare to breathe.
Saiyi laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject: "Manager Xu, is this ship also nuclear-powered?"
"Of course." Xu Yingcheng admitted it directly.
Sai gave a forced smile: "Your company is really technologically advanced."
Yi Defu was also somewhat curious: "Manager Xu, I wonder what the excavation speed of this ship is?"
"The sandy layer is 2 to 3 kilometers per hour, and the rocky layer is 500 to 800 meters per hour."
When the members of the inspection team heard the data, they were shocked. The speed was really too fast.
You have to know that the Suez Canal is only 171 kilometers long. At the speed of the Giant Rhino 1, it can be dug from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea in four or five days.
No wonder Sapiens dared to propose a large number of canal projects. It is obvious that they are well prepared.
Although the channel opened by Giant Rhino No. 1 will cause the depth of the river to drop on both sides due to collapse on both sides, the depth of the central area is more than enough to maintain 20 to 30 meters.
At this depth, there is no problem for transport ships below 10,000 tons to pass through.
What's more, the channel width can be further expanded through secondary excavation.
Compared with railways, large canals have huge transportation volumes and very low transportation costs.
For inland areas, there is a large canal passing through, which can revitalize large areas along the way.
Seeing the shock of these unsophisticated people, Xu Yingcheng smiled secretly: You know nothing about the power of the Sapiens Company. This is just a small part of the company's strength.
