Chapter 393 Continue to Develop
Suez region.
With the arrival of June, the first batch of sea rice planted in the coastal agricultural area invested and developed by the company in the Red Sea Province has ushered in a bumper harvest.
The large hovercraft-shaped harvester devoured the heavy golden rice bit by bit, and at the same time sprayed the rice to an hovercraft transport ship on the side, leaving behind compressed straw cubes.
Xu Yingcheng and several managers are watching the harvest.
“How many hectares are ripe in total?”
The captain of the sea rice farm management team replied: "150,000 hectares. Since we transformed it in batches, the maturity period also came in batches."
Xu Yingcheng put down the telescope and asked, "How much rice can be produced?"
"The yield per hectare is about 6 tons, and 150,000 hectares can produce 900,000 tons of rice."
"That's right." Xu Yingcheng thought of something else: "By the way, how is the situation at the rice detoxification factory?"
"No problem. Our detoxification plant at the port can process 10 million tons of poisoned rice every year, and the storage warehouse is also ready."
Xu Yingcheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."
As time goes by, the harvesters are moving further and further away along the golden waves of rice.
Employees of the organic fertilizer fermentation plant were driving a grabber truck to pick up squares of straw and throw them into the air cushion transport ship.
As for why the transportation equipment and agricultural equipment here all use hovercraft, the reason is that the water network is dense. Although many small channels are not as wide as 120 meters, there are still many channels with a width of 20 to 30 meters.
In this case, if wheeled transport vehicles are used, it will not be easy to move between the various plots, so it is better to use hovercraft.
The air-cushion transport ship loaded with rice and straw came directly to the side of the channel. On the channel there were special medium-sized inland transport ships that could carry 2,000 tons of materials.
This is complete mechanization.
From plowing, leveling, transplanting, spraying, irrigation, drainage, harvesting to transportation, large-scale machinery and equipment are used throughout the entire process, reducing manpower consumption per unit of production capacity.
These 150,000 hectares of sea rice are managed by only 567 farm workers, with an average of 260 hectares per person.
…
Xu Yingcheng returned to Hongku Port from the first reclamation point.
As soon as I returned to the office, I saw Hu Mingliang, who looked exhausted.
"Old Hu, how come you have time to come to Hongku Port?"
Hu Mingliang took a sip of lemon tea and said, "Huh... I ran into a little trouble."
"What happened? You went to the Qattara Depression in the north to build a new city."
"It's the problem in Qattara." Hu Mingliang took another sip of lemon tea. "Huhu... We were attacked by a group of extreme environmentalists while digging a canal connecting the Qattara Depression and the Mediterranean Sea."
Hearing this, Xu Yingcheng frowned: "What? What did the security team do? Is there any problem with the reactor of the canal boat?"
"It's okay. Those guys have been beaten to pieces by the Phalanx machine guns. The canal-drilling boat was hit by a 104 rocket on its outer shell, but there was no malfunction."
"The key is how did these guys get close?"
"The Field Operations Department has already investigated. They sneaked in from the border of Numidia. Plus, it's very easy to launch 104 rockets. They approached the canal-opening ship posing as refugees."
Xu Yingcheng rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "We need to strengthen the security and intelligence investigation in the area around Suez . These monsters will definitely be there in the future."
"The Field Division, the Internal Division, and the Internal Security Division are already discussing this. I came to the Hongku Port Branch this time just to borrow some people."
"How much?"
Hu Mingliang showed his big white teeth: "10,000."
"Too many. Your infrastructure can't keep up!" Xu Yingcheng shook his head. "Besides, these new immigrants came from Northeast Asia. They are not good at fighting."
"Please help me think of a solution. I need elite employees."
Xu Yingcheng looked embarrassed: "I also want elite employees, but there are not so many elite employees to be transferred."
Hu Mingliang suggested: "Why don't we apply for support from the Java branch? There are more elite employees there, and the atmosphere is more tough."
"Haha, that's wishful thinking. The Java branch recently transferred 5 million elite employees to the newly developed West Pacific branch. There are not many elite employees left to transfer."
The so-called elite employees are actually new humans. In order to avoid associations caused by slip of the tongue, they use the term "elite employees" to refer to new humans during internal discussions.
Even though the number of new human employees within the Sapiens company has reached about 310 million, it is still not enough.
This shortage is not due to insufficient total volume, but rather to uneven distribution among regional branches.
For example, the Assam branch has the highest proportion of new human employees, with new human employees accounting for 67%. Except for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, almost all of them are new human employees.
The branches with a relatively low proportion of new human employees are Dongba Branch and Suez Branch, where the proportion of new human employees is 11% and 2% respectively.
After much thought, Xu Yingcheng realized that the proportion of new human employees in the Suez branch was too low, which was not conducive to the overall management of the place. He made up his mind:
"Let's transfer people from the Dongba branch! Let's apply to the Internal Affairs Department together."
"OK, thanks."
Xu Yingcheng reminded him unhappily: "Don't be too happy too soon. The 10,000 elite employees you want will definitely not be in place all at once. I also need to send manpower to the Sinai Agricultural Zone and the Suez Canal."
"I understand." Hu Mingliang also knew that as the temporary manager of the Suez branch, Xu Yingcheng needed to fully consider the needs of city-level branches in various places.
Seeing Hu Mingliang still lying on the sofa, Xu Yingcheng knew that he must have something else to do: "What else do you want to say? If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it! Don't dawdle ."
"Lao Xu, can you give us another canal-drilling boat..."
"No! Don't even think about it." Xu Yingcheng refused directly.
Hu Mingliang said with a look of grievance: "Old Xu, you also know the importance of the Qattara Depression. Only one canal-drilling ship is too inefficient. There are thousands of people in my base, and they are still living in container houses ."
But Xu Yingcheng was unmoved. He knew what Hu Mingliang, the jerk, was thinking:
"Haha, if I could make something up, I could make you a canal-opening ship. Now all seven canal-opening ships have missions, so giving you one is already the limit. Don't push your luck."
"If you don't have a canal boat, then give me a batch of housing modules and industrial modules! Lao Xu, you can't bear to see me eating sand, right?"
"Haha, the real purpose is revealed, right? Everyone knows your tricks."
Although Xu Yingcheng pointed out Hu Mingliang's little thoughts, he still approved a batch of housing modules and industrial modules to the other party.
These modules are configured in local factories and can be used directly by assembling them together.
As a newly developed area, this convenient module is very much needed.
Hu Mingliang quickly made his request, asking for water purification plant modules, salt brick factory modules, solar power plant modules, methane fermentation plant modules and the like.
These industrial modules can almost piece together a small set of industries, ensuring that the Qattara Depression can maintain a certain degree of self-sufficiency.
Having obtained so many modules, Hu Mingliang flew back happily .
America invested heavily in India, while Homo sapiens invested and built crazily in the Suez region.
The whole world is busy, either expanding, or maintaining its position, or internal reform, or supporting others.
Under the stimulation of Sapiens, the whole world is heading towards an unknown future.
However, many elites who are well versed in international relations understand that the general direction of the future is actually very clear, that is, bipolar hegemony.
Of course, they didn't know how long America could last, nor did they know what else Sapiens was thinking.
