Homo sapiens

December 23rd.

The northern hemisphere is freezing.

In Suez, which is located in the northeast of the Sahara Desert and on the northwest coast of the Red Sea, the weather is still sunny at this time.

Suez previously sold the port and railway operating rights to Homo sapiens. At this time, the headquarters of Homo sapiens has arranged for a joint construction company to be responsible for the planning and construction of this project.

The location of the port is located in the southern part of the Red Sea Province of Suez, where there is a promontory called "Cape Honkurab".

The United Construction Group planned the port in the bay on the south side of Cape Honkulab and named it "Honku Port".

At this time, Hongku Port was still a deserted land. It was a small fishing village with a population of less than 500 people.

Even though Suez has a population of 110 million, its population is mainly concentrated in the Nile Delta and the long and narrow Nile Valley plain, and the population in other areas is not large.

The Red Sea Province seems to be close to the Red Sea. In fact, due to the control of the subtropical high pressure belt and the lack of tall mountains or plateaus, it is unable to form a windward slope rainfall area. It is dry and dry all year round.

For a region with backward technology and no important mineral resources, it naturally does not have a large population.

Suez has set up a special office in Hongku Port to help Homo sapiens coordinate local development work.

Of course, while it is said to be coordination, it also has the purpose of surveillance.

Both parties knew this very well, but the Homo sapiens company pretended not to see it. After all, some things ultimately depended on strength.

As long as the fist of Homo sapiens company is strong enough, the other party will never dare to harm the local interests of Homo sapiens company.

If there is no strength and deterrence, there is no use in talking about it. When the opponent should backstab, he will still not hesitate to do it.

Therefore, the external business department of the Homo sapiens company never talks about being vain. Instead, it relies on the power of the field business department and the external security business department to directly coerce the other party to bow its head.

In this jungle, there has never been any tenderness, only naked fighting and profit.

Adhere to the concept of law of the jungle.

Carry out the idea of ​​bullying the weak.

Use despicable means.

That's the real way to survive.

…

On the temporary dock of Hongku Port.

Semalu, the head of the Suez Special Office, is standing on the third-floor corridor of a container house, looking at the harbor sea in the distance.

On the sparkling sea.

A huge ship is working hard on the sea.

"Is this the Plow that dug a channel in the Strait of Malacca?"

Assistant Matruh quickly replied: "That's the ship. I heard it's nuclear-powered. It arrived at Hongku Port last night, and now two 100-meter-wide offshore channels have been dug."

"How powerful this is..." Semalu muttered softly, with envy and fear in his words.

At this time, the Haili was already digging repeatedly on the seabed near the temporary dock and spitting out seabed sediment onto the tidal flats of the coast.

A temporary deep water area with a length of 2 kilometers, a width of 500 meters and a depth of about 40 meters has been dug out in this area.

Just when Semalu was lost in thought, on the distant sea, three Malacca-class transport ships, escorted by three Manila-class frigates, slowly followed the channel opened by the Haili and entered the temporary deep water one after another. district.

"Huh? This is..." Semalu quickly picked up the telescope.

Matruh, who also picked up a telescope, quickly recognized the Manila-class frigates and the Malacca-class nuclear-powered transport ships that have recently caused huge controversy in the global shipping industry.

He quickly explained: "That is a Malacca-class nuclear-powered transport ship."

"It's a nuclear-powered ship again. Does Homo Sapiens really want to fully popularize nuclear-powered ships?" Semalu looked slightly worried.

After all, with so many nuclear-powered ships coming in and out of Hongku Port, if an accident occurs and a nuclear leak occurs, the trouble will be serious.

But Semalu sighed secretly. The Homo sapiens company was too powerful and he had no way to stop the opponent.

He continued to observe with his telescope. The three Malacca-class transport ships were somewhat different in style. One was a container ship and the other was a self-unloading bulk carrier. There were many Seahawk fighter jets and drones parked on the deck of one ship.

‘Why are there fighter jets? Could one of them be an aircraft carrier? ’

Seeing this scene, Semaru frowned.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Hongku Port is only a commercial port, not a military port.

However, there is a supplementary clause in the agreement, which allows Homo sapiens company's warships to replenish, repair, and dock at Hongku Port.

Obviously, Homo sapiens took advantage of the loopholes in the agreement to transform a Malacca-class transport ship into an aircraft carrier, and then carried 60 Seahawk fighter jets and 120 drones and deployed them here in Hongku Port.

After a while, Semaru found Xu Yingcheng, the manager of Hongku Port Management Company.

"Xu, what's going on with those fighter jets?"

After pouring a cup of coffee for the other party, Xu Yingcheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Semalu. The Malacca 7 is only temporarily anchored here. After all, there are too many pirates in the Red Sea. For safety, we can only take this approach."

‘Haha, I believe you. ’ Semaru instantly heard the perfunctory tone in those words. If the Homo sapiens company hadn’t been so powerful, he would have cursed loudly.

Xu Yingcheng continued: "I hope you can understand our good intentions. After all, our company has many nuclear-powered transport ships. If these ships are hijacked by pirates, the consequences will be very serious."

After hearing this explanation, Semalu's mouth twitched slightly and secretly complained:

'Which pirate dares to hijack your transport ship? Even America was forced out of Southeast Asia by you. Moreover, those transport ships are also equipped with Phalanx cannons and cluster cruise missile launch nests. They are the only ones in the world who are used in civilian transportation. Heavy weapons are installed on the ship. ’

However, Semaru then thought about it and realized that these nuclear-powered transport ships really needed to be protected by force.

He was in a dilemma for a while, and finally reminded: "Xu, I know you want to protect those nuclear-powered transport ships, but building a military port here is absolutely not allowed."

Xu Yingcheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Mr. Semalu, our planes and security personnel will not go ashore. They will perform escort missions at sea."

"I hope you keep your promise and don't make it too difficult for me." Semalu said helplessly.

This is the helplessness of the weak. Even if they are bullied, they still have to smile to compensate.

In the deep water area of ​​the temporary dock, the Malacca 7 has been moored to one side and then anchored.

The Malacca 7 is not only an escort aircraft carrier, but also a special power generation ship. In order to enhance its power supply capability, a total of six thorium-based molten salt reactors are installed inside, with a total power generation of 300 megawatts.

If the 300 MW power generation power is operated at full capacity, it will play a very important role in accelerating the initial construction of Hongku Port.

After all, if they want to build a separate nuclear power plant here, Suez will definitely not let go easily.

Moreover, the construction speed will definitely not keep up with the progress of the port project.

Directly deploying a nuclear-powered transport ship as a temporary nuclear power plant is the most cost-effective approach.

With the completion of the berthing of Malacca 7, the other two Malacca-class transport ships also unloaded the engineering vehicles, construction materials and daily necessities on the dock.

Fortunately, it is dry and rainless all year round, so there is no need to worry about cement and steel bars getting exposed to rain, they can be stored directly in the open air.

Arriving at Hongku Port at almost the same time as the transport ship, there was also a group of 500 construction workers and dozens of engineers from the construction industry.
