Chapter 345: How abominable! They actually gave money to everyone!
Looking at the back of Giant Rhino No. 1 as it walked away.
The roughness of the metal machinery, the indomitable brute force, the fear of the giant and the shock to the soul are constantly impacting everyone in the expedition team.
At this moment, they had to admit that the power of the Homo Sapiens Company was too strong.
"I am now very confident about your company's canal project!" The first person to react was Matruh's uncle Edfu.
Xu Yingcheng smiled and said: "Everyone, you can imagine that once the Second Suez Canal, the Northern Canal and the Southern Canal are completed, the whole of Egypt will usher in a brand new era."
The people present were not fools and they naturally knew that the emergence of these three canals would inevitably drive the overall development of Egypt.
For example, Sey, who had always been opposed, saw the strategic ambition of the Sapiens Company in planning the Southern Canal and the Northern Canal.
The Southern Canal will cross southern Egypt, then enter Meroe, South Meroe, Central Africa and Chad south of Egypt, and finally enter the Atlantic Ocean near Equatorial Guinea.
The Northern Canal will pass through northern Egypt, then enter Libya, Algeria, and finally enter the Atlantic Ocean from Mauritania.
In other words, the two canals are actually super canals that cross the northern and southern regions of the Sahara Desert.
Since seawater is used throughout the process, there is no need to worry about the tropical desert climate of the Sahara Desert, and the river channel can be dug as large as possible.
Say understood geopolitical strategy and naturally knew that once Homo sapiens completed this grand canal, not to mention America, even France, which was the king of Africa, would feel powerless in the face of Homo sapiens.
The Sahara region is not without resources. On the contrary, this largest desert area on earth hides a considerable number of resources.
The problem is that there is no way to transport these resources. After all, landlocked countries like Chad don't even have railways and can only rely on dilapidated roads. With such traffic conditions, it is not enough to transport food and daily necessities, let alone mineral resources.
However, these areas are remote and poor, and the attraction of the Homo sapiens Company is too strong. As long as the Homo sapiens Company's sphere of influence approaches, there will definitely be a lot of local people throwing themselves into its arms.
Sey saw the strategic ambitions of the Sapiens company, but so what.
In this world, fists are the ultimate game of thumb.
From this series of planned projects, Say knew that Sapiens was determined to gain control of this region of Egypt.
Such a huge investment project and infrastructure construction basically means that Egypt is the homeland of Homo sapiens.
When Seyi thought of the methods used by the Homo Sapiens Company, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, especially because of the double entendre of Xu Yingcheng just now. Those things that blocked the progress of the Homo Sapiens Company would definitely be crushed by the other party.
All the members of the inspection team who had previously expressed opposing views were now speechless.
Xu Yingcheng smiled and said, "Everyone, let's go to the next project to inspect! There are our company's latest scientific and technological achievements."
Yi Defu, who was originally a surrenderist, quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "I can't wait any longer. Manager Xu, can you tell me in advance?"
"Haha, telling you now would be a spoiler. You will know when we get to the scene."
Soon, a pontoon boat appeared in the canal with iron bridges extending to both sides.
The members of the expedition team, who were sweating profusely from the sun, quickly got on the off-road vehicles, and the convoy crossed the iron floating bridge and drove to the coast further north.
After more than ten minutes, the convoy arrived at the seedling base of the agricultural technology brigade.
Matruh got out of the car, supporting his uncle Edfu.
Looking at the lush paddy fields in front of him, Yidefu walked down the dam, squatted down and took a closer look: "What is this? Rice?"
Several staff members of the agricultural technology brigade quickly reminded: "Dear guests, please do not pick the rice seedlings at will. These rice seedlings are poisonous. A few grams can kill an adult."
Matru was about to tear off a leaf when his hand froze. He showed a stiff smile and said, "Manager Xu, you should put a sign here as a reminder."
"Don't worry! There are not many people in the Red Sea Province, and our rice fields are all on uninhabited desert plains. No one will come here." Xu Yingcheng didn't care.
As for those who come to pick the fruits with ulterior motives, they will be poisoned to death, so the Sapiens company cannot be blamed.
Yidefu asked curiously: "The leaves of these rice are poisonous, but the rice itself should not be poisonous, right?"
Xu Yingcheng shook his head: "It's equally poisonous."
"What?" Yidefu was confused: "It's also poisonous? How can we eat it then?"
Matru seemed to have thought of something: "Perhaps the toxicity can be eliminated by cooking it at high temperature."
"Matruh, you're overthinking it. The toxic protein in Sea Rice No. 14 can withstand a high temperature of 240 degrees Celsius. Ordinary cooking methods cannot remove the toxicity."
Gulu! Matru looked at Xu Yingcheng in confusion: "Manager Xu, what are these rice for?"
"It is very useful. Sea Rice No. 14 can be grown in seawater and is perennial. It can be harvested for five consecutive years after planting once. In tropical areas, it can be harvested three times a year, with a yield of 800 kilograms per mu per crop."
Sai, who had been listening, laughed dryly and asked, "This rice is indeed very high in yield, and has other advantages, but it cannot be eaten. Is it used as organic fertilizer?"
Xu Yingcheng smiled and replied, "Who said we can't eat it? Our company has special detoxification technology that can 100% remove the toxic protein in rice."
'I knew it,' Matruh suddenly came back to his senses.
Idefu doesn't care about the Sapiens company's manipulation of such matters.
After all, the genetically modified seeds of ABCD also have various types of seed retention that reduce yield, special resistance to certain pesticides, or secretly contain seeds of genetically modified weeds in the seed coating.
The Sapiens company is developing poisonous rice and detoxification technology, obviously just to keep something in reserve.
Xu Yingcheng smiled and explained : "Don't get me wrong, the reason why we study poisonous rice is to resist insect and bird damage."
Haha, you guys have nothing to explain, Sai cursed in his heart.
Yi Defu asked: "Manager Xu, can this rice really be grown in seawater? Doesn't it require additional fresh water?"
"No, that's why the Grand Canal connects directly to the ocean. The canal can be used as a transportation channel and also as an irrigation facility for rice fields."
Everyone reacted immediately.
They thought of the previous incident in which the Homo Sapiens Company leased 40,000 square kilometers of desert in the Red Sea Province.
If this situation continues, with 40,000 square kilometers of rice fields and three crops a year, the output would be simply astronomical.
And this does not even take into account the desert plains inland after the opening of the northern canal and the internal canal.
You should know that of Egypt's 1 million square kilometers of area, 95% are deserts, Gobi deserts and arid mountainous areas, of which the desert area is very vast.
Not to mention transforming all the deserts into seawater rice fields, even if we transform one-third of them, that would be an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why could maintain a high quality of life for 800 million people.
Just based on the plan of the Sapiens Company in Egypt, as long as the construction is completed, hundreds of millions of tons of rice can be produced here every year. If spread out among Egypt's 110 million people, each person will have several tons of rice every year.
At this moment, they had lost the thought of resistance.
The Homo Sapiens company can easily buy people's hearts with money, and can directly crush them and make them helpless.
How abominable! Sapiens actually gave money to everyone!
