Homo sapiens

February 24, 2020.

In Macaron Village, west of the town of Malagondong.

The Wang Muyi and Julie teams who were arranged to come over for random inspections were already in the village.

Macaron Village is not a natural village, but a new village that was forcibly merged. This small village had only a population of 1,200 before, but now it has a population of 5,377.

Carter, the president of the local cooperative, is a meticulous middle-aged man with a slicked back hair. A young man in Wang Muyi's supervision team smiled and nodded to him.

In fact, both of them knew each other's identity. There was no need for verbal communication between the soldiers. They only needed to judge each other's identity through the pheromone breath on each other's bodies.

"President Carter, please take us to the employee dormitory area!" Wang Muyi said directly.

Carter nodded: "OK, please come with me!"

Macaron Village can basically be divided into three areas, one is the old village area, one is the dormitory area, and the other is the work area.

Cement roads have been laid in the village. Due to the influx of a large number of people from other villages, it has become a community similar to a small town.

A young female supervisor asked in a low voice: "Is this the merger of villages and towns promoted by the company?"

Julie nodded: "Yes, this is to reduce resource waste and improve infrastructure utilization."

At present, cooperatives all over the country are merging villages and towns. A standard cooperative has a starting population of more than 5,000.

On the one hand, it is to concentrate resources and improve the utilization of infrastructure.

On the other hand, it avoids the emergence of a large number of small villages and wastes the cooperative's management manpower. It also aims to destroy the clan's small circles and enhance the company's influence in rural areas.

The structure of the cooperative has been continuously adjusted, and now it has formed a three-core model of president, manager, and finance.

The president is usually a soldier, who is responsible for communicating with superiors, managing some personnel, training employees, managing the security team, supervising production and operations, and sometimes also serving as a technician.

The manager is responsible for economic and production work, and the finance manager is responsible for wages, subsidies, accounting, and fund management.

In fact, the president is the real core, after all, he controls the security team.

According to the cooperative's internal regulations, the security team generally has about 20 to 50 people, equipped with armored off-road vehicles, assault rifles, grenades and the like.

Naturally, such core positions can only be filled by soldiers, and other companies cannot trust them.

Everyone walked and observed their surroundings.

Entering the employee dormitory area surrounded by walls, 10-story small buildings appeared in front of everyone.

"A total of 50 buildings with a total of 2,000 houses are planned here. Currently, 20 buildings have been completed, and the occupancy rate is 100%."

Wang Muyi could only smile at this. These employee dormitories were indeed very well built.

The problem is that the company only rents but does not sell. Although the rent is not high, only about 1 peso per square meter per month, this is the company's property after all.

Of course, the company is not unkind. As long as you can work for the company for 25 consecutive years, the company will sell you a house with an area of ​​less than 200 square meters at about 30% of the market price.

This decades-level commitment made Wang Muyi feel a little unreliable.

If the company goes bankrupt in the future, who will the employees turn to to honor their contracts?

However, this is something that is currently unavailable. After all, employees cannot generate large sums of cash at once, so they can only live in low-rent housing provided by the company.

Julie pointed at a house at random: "President Carter, this is the 302 building."

"No problem." Carter took them to Room 302 of this building. After opening the door, the interior had been decorated.

The floor is made of wood grain tiles, and the walls are painted white. The counters are all made of bamboo-reinforced concrete and are then affixed with wood grain tiles. There are no hanging boards on the ceiling, giving it a simple style of painting.

The furniture is also very simple, including iron bamboo chairs and iron bamboo synthetic tables and beds given by the company.

Wang Muyi is very aware of these things. In order to implement a purpose and reduce costs as much as possible, he uses things produced by his own company.

Considering that plywood has excessive formaldehyde and maintenance issues, Coral Construction Company does not use materials such as plywood at all.

"Team Leader Julie, let's start surveying and sampling!" Wang Muyi said.

Julie nodded: "Okay, let's get started!"

Because Luzon is a plate junction zone, it is prone to volcanoes and earthquakes, and it has a tropical monsoon climate with frequent typhoons.

Therefore, the houses here have certain requirements in terms of earthquake resistance, fire protection, typhoon protection, and lightning protection.

Coral Construction Company saved money in other aspects, but instead of saving money on disaster prevention design, it added a lot of money.

For example, in order to resist earthquakes, the underground of this community is integrated. Through composite bamboo bars and steel bars, concrete is used to pour underground composite beams connected together.

The house is completely separated from the foundation, and there are no connecting components between the two.

For the houses on the ground, four connected square fortresses are designed to enhance the overall stability of the house and avoid overly slender buildings.

These are designed to be shockproof.

Once an earthquake occurs nearby, the propagation of seismic waves in the solid body will definitely affect the foundation or even tear the foundation. However, the integrated design of the above-ground house will only tilt and collapse due to the separate design from the foundation. , instead of causing internal collapse of the building, it can only crack part of the wall of the house.

This design can withstand up to a magnitude 8 earthquake. In a magnitude 9 earthquake, it can still maintain the integrity of the overall structure of the ground building.

Wang Muyi's team is responsible for testing the seismic performance of houses. This aspect mainly uses physical flaw detection equipment to detect the integrity, density, approximate material composition, material distribution and thickness of the wall columns.

Julie's team first tested fire protection, noise, formaldehyde, wires and pipes.

They are very serious about these inspections. After all, they are related to their own income. In addition, the company will send other supervision teams to conduct random secondary inspections later. If they are perfunctory, they are kidding their own future.

After a busy afternoon, I watched the sun set outside the window.

Julie closed the window and patted her sore neck again: "It was detected here today."

"Well, should we go back to Malagondong in the evening? Or make do with it here?" Wang Muyi sat on a hard chair.

"Here! Let President Carter arrange a few rooms."

Wang Muyi picked up his cell phone and sent Carter his thoughts through the internal communication software, and Carter quickly arranged it for them.

After all, the cooperative's office building has a reception room, and next door is the cooperative's large canteen, so eating and drinking is not a problem.

Wang Muyi and others are also used to this kind of life of running around in various places.

Stroll under the warm sunset.

After leaving the dormitory area, there were many villagers walking on the village road. Not far away was the field where rice had just been harvested.

Carter, on the other hand, was on a cucumber field, leading a few technicians to repair the spray pipes. As soldiers in charge of rural areas, they were actually all-rounders.

Relying on the knowledge stored in the biochip, these soldiers will not only be able to scientifically farm, but also be able to make soil fertilizers, scientifically breed, prepare feed, prevent and control poultry and livestock diseases, repair agricultural machinery, engage in deep processing of agricultural products, and finally be able to fight.

These soldiers are the cornerstone of the Homo sapiens company.

Carter was able to convince the public at the Macaron Village Cooperative, which he did through hard power. Even the manager could only regain a little sense of presence in business.

In addition, the benefits of merging villages and towns also strengthened Carter's management effect.

After all, the villagers are not from the same village, so it is not easy to unite.

In addition, the cooperative's employee contracts are very binding, which gives the president a lot of power. If soldiers were not in charge of this position, the company would not dare to delegate power like this.

When Carter saw Julie and others passing by, he just nodded and continued to immerse himself in his maintenance work.

Wang Muyi is also used to it. Those maverick employees in the company, like Carter, basically don't give face to anyone they meet.

According to gossip leaked from the company's upper management, these people are called "cornerstones" by Chairman Zhang Jack.

Therefore, people like Carter are usually called the cornerstone faction, and together with the family faction and the Chinese faction, they form the three factions within the Homo sapiens company today.
