Homo sapiens.

Before you know it, it's March again, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.

However, there is no sign of spring in the subtropical and temperate southern parts of the northern hemisphere this year.

The subtropical zone is barely better, and there are already signs of melting ice and snow, but the temperate zone is generally still frozen hard.

The impact of this situation on food production is too great. In areas where winter wheat could be grown in previous years, there is no way to grow it. Only spring wheat with a short growth period can be grown.

Total food production in the free world has declined again.

Retail quotas have been initiated in many places, restricting individuals and businesses from purchasing grain and food in large quantities.

On the other hand, sea levels are still slowly falling, and permanent ice sheets continue to develop.

In the Maple Leaf Country and the Nordic region, ice sheets have already covered their northern regions, and it is estimated that they will not recede easily.

Of course, global cooling will also bring about some favorable conditions for some regions, such as the Sanhai Plain, which is gradually emerging from the sea.

In order to cope with the increasingly cold winter, the major forces in the free world also showed their special abilities.

Siam.

Ubon Ratchathani in the east.

The Homo sapiens company in the local branch is facing a small trouble at this time.

Brother Song, the person in charge of the branch's personnel department, looked at the data on migrant workers last month with a look of confusion on his face.

Because the number of migrant workers in February reached a record-breaking 275 million.

You know, this is recruited by one of the sub-branches of the Siam branch.

And there are four such sub-branches within the Siam branch, namely Chiang Mai branch, Ubon Ratchathani branch, Buriram branch, and Carat branch.

Except for the Kela branch, there is no channel for migrant workers. The other three sub-branches have land or sea channels. The monthly inflow of migrant workers in the three regions was around 20 to 30. .

However, in February, it skyrocketed tenfold, which shocked Brother Song very much. He hurriedly called the Field Service Department to inquire about the relevant situation.

After more than ten minutes of communication, Brother Song finally figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that Annan, Lancang, and Khmer have opened tourist visas, allowing "tourists" from other regions to enter freely, and the inspection near Siam is almost useless.

Many people took advantage of this opportunity to quickly come to the Siam branch to apply.

Chen Jianxiong, who was in Southeast Asia at this time, actually knew about this a long time ago.

In the underground base of Xingdao.

Yang Mengjiao, who was recently transferred to be responsible for the business intelligence work in the entire Southeast Asia region, was discussing this matter with him.

"According to the data of the Siam branch and the Hongsawadi branch, the number of migrant workers reached 2137 million in February, which is a new record high!"

Chen Jianxiong put down the tablet in his hand, smiled and shook his head: "They obviously can't hold it anymore."

Although she has just taken over the business intelligence work here, Yang Mengjiao knows all over Asia like the back of her hand:
"Yes! Although they still have 1.6 million tons of grain reserves, the problem is that the production capacity of open-air agriculture is shrinking. They only produced 3.7 million tons of grain last year. If the production capacity of Central Asia and Annan is added, that is Only 4.8 million tons."

"Central Asia can only barely be self-sufficient in the future. On the contrary, Annan, Lancang, and Khmer have agricultural potential to be tapped. After all, they are all tropical regions."

Yang Mengjiao calmly looked at the holographic projection in front of her eyes: "I estimate that another 3-4 million people will flow out, which is the limit."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, people have their own aspirations, and if you don't want to join the company, we don't force you." Chen Jianxiong spread his hands, and then he mentioned another thing:

"Lucia's Ural nuclear fusion power station has passed the inspection and acceptance. Serris plans to build 5 nuclear fusion power stations in the next five years. Here are the specific locations and information. Please pay attention."

Yang Mengjiao glanced at it, then nodded, "No problem."

Then she asked hesitantly: "They are rapidly advancing the automation industry, nuclear fusion power generation, indoor farming and synthetic starch technology, do we need to do something?"

"It's not necessary, you should be aware of the company's technological development speed." Chen Jianxiong didn't care too much.

His ideas are deeply influenced by Li Qingye, and he believes in the flow of technology. Technology can solve all problems. If it can't solve the problem, it means that technology is not enough.

Under the current situation, Homo sapiens' technical advantages are like a snowball, and as time goes by, it is getting bigger and bigger.

The other party is engaged in automation industry to reduce the demand for human resources in the industrial chain; to engage in nuclear fusion power generation to obtain sufficient energy; to engage in indoor agriculture and starch synthesis to get rid of the impact of natural disasters on production reduction.

The reason why the free travel visas for Annan, Lancang, and Khmer landed quickly this time is very simple, it is reducing pressure.

The production capacity of 4.8 million tons of grain can only guarantee the high-quality food demand of 6 million people.

In order to cope with the extreme weather in the future, it is necessary to reserve 2-3 million tons of grain. As a result, the overall agricultural production capacity is obviously insufficient.

The production capacity is insufficient, and there is no way to increase the production capacity on a large scale in a short period of time, and the huge population is waiting to be shopped, which is caught in a contradiction.

In ancient times, this situation often had only one result, that is, cannibalism, and the population was rapidly reduced in this way.

For example, in the small glacial climate at the end of Ming Dynasty, more than 80% of the population was reduced, and the remaining population had enough food to survive.

But now, there is definitely no way to use the method of cannibalism, so I can only think of other ways to solve this problem.

There happened to be a flood discharge area next to them, and they had no choice but to discharge flood water to this flood discharge area.

Water resources are a good thing, and they are reluctant to let them out like this. However, there are too many water resources, and the dam is almost unstoppable. If the flood is not released now, when the dam breaks, then they will have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, wild luxury cars, three wives and four children. All concubines will come to naught.

Unrestricted free travel visa is to open an opening on the embankment facing the flood discharge area to release excess water.

With fewer people, the resources available per capita increase.

Although this is bloodletting to heal the wound, it will hurt the root, but if you don't do bloodletting now, you may have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Do you choose to lose your vitality?
Or choose to die of cerebral hemorrhage?
They have no choice. If there is no Homo sapiens company's pressing step by step, maybe they can slowly recuperate their bodies. Now time is waiting for no one.

After this bloodletting, they can hold on for a while longer.

However, Chen Jianxiong received a lot of insider information. For example, in order to retain talents in science and engineering, they provided such means as free garages, exclusive food, free children's education, and work package arrangements.

Now they only need elites and talents, and there is no need for other ordinary people to win them over.

After all, resources are limited, and it would be too difficult to achieve the level of benefits of Homo sapiens.

It is easier to give high benefits to a small number of elites and talents.

For this bloodletting, Homo Sapiens did not recruit unconditionally, and those with problems would definitely be screened out.

As long as ordinary people have no criminal record and no special purpose, Homo sapiens will directly accept them, and then through rapid training, they can be reborn as temporary employees in three months.
