Homo sapiens

Kom Ombo.

Inside the new employee dormitory area in the Gobi Desert New Area.

More than 500 temporary workers have already moved in here. Although there is no big villa, according to the pie drawn by the captains, they all believe that they have just joined the job and are not yet eligible for those benefits.

Especially seeing the various infrastructures in the Gobi Desert New Area being improved day by day, they naturally did not feel that the Homo sapiens company was deceiving people.

It is about 7 kilometers away from the south side of Kom Ombo city.

A road extending from the Gobi Desert New Area is rapidly moving toward the southwest.

Under the scorching sun.

More than a dozen pieces of professional equipment are busy at the highway construction site.

Since this area is full of desert, gravel desert, and rocky desert, large-scale construction can be carried out as long as it is approved by Egyptian officials, and there is no need to discuss land acquisition issues with the locals.

Ka Xiu, who was driving a large crawler bulldozer, flattened the small sand dune in front of him, and then gave instructions to the temporary worker Tisi who was in the co-pilot, teaching him how to operate the equipment as quickly as possible.

On the pushed-away ground, another heavy-duty roller rolled back and forth against the roadbed.

Not far behind, salt bricks brought from the miscellaneous salt processing factory in the Gobi Desert New Area were laid on the roadbed by forklifts. Each salt brick is a large brick with a thickness of 30 centimeters and a length and width of 2 meters.

A total of 10 large salt bricks are placed in a row, with a gap of 3 to 4 centimeters between each salt brick.

But after 10 rows were laid, under the leadership of the new human captain, a dozen temporary workers quickly installed a row of 40 cm high iron plates in front.

A mixer truck and pouring truck poured a special cement on the surface of the salt bricks, quickly forming a gray mud surface.

This is an organic cement formed by mixing 85% sand, 10% calcium oxide powder, 5% nutrient paste, and seawater.

The characteristic of this cement is that it does not require too many raw materials. Sand can be obtained locally. If there is no sand, small stones, shale, etc. can also be used.

As long as there are nutritional paste, calcium oxide and silica bacteria, the amount of transportation is greatly reduced.

To build a building of the same volume, the cement consumption required for ordinary cement, coral cement, and organic cement is 10:8.2:1.5 respectively.

In other words, in the same building scale, using organic cement as raw material can reduce the input of industrial building materials by about 85%.

At this time, a layer of mud with a thickness of 3 cm quickly formed on the surface of the salt brick on which organic cement was poured. Moreover, since four ordinary bricks were placed at the bottom of the salt brick, there was also a gap of 3 cm at the bottom.

Therefore, the mud of organic cement coats these salt bricks, and the mud containing silica bacteria quickly consumes the nutrient paste, secretes large amounts of calcium carbonate and silicates, and then binds the surrounding sand.

This kind of bonding is not the bonding of ordinary cement, but the bonding at the molecular level, so the sand will become combined into a whole rock slab.

The role of salt bricks is actually to act as a filler and internal support.

Although the annual precipitation in the Sahara Desert is about 20 to 150 millimeters, this occasional heavy rain will indeed dissolve some of the salt bricks, thus adding a protective layer to the salt bricks.

The shell formed by organic cement has very good strength and wear resistance.

It takes about 5 hours for the silica bacteria to consume all the nutrients in the mud. After consuming the nutrients, it means that the sand in the mud will be completely combined, and at the same time, these silica bacteria will also retire and stimulate Its self-ablation mechanism.

After eight hours of busy work, a 1,200-meter-long simple road was laid.

The sun sets.

On the Nile River in the distance, many ships rushed to the distance in the sunset.

Although work at the construction site has stopped, more than 200 construction team employees did not return to the Gobi Desert New Area, but rested on the spot.

Beside the construction site, there are 60 large domestic vehicles parked.

These include 25 dormitory trucks, 10 refrigerated storage trucks, 5 room temperature material storage trucks, 5 methane storage trucks, 5 fresh water storage trucks, 2 kitchen trucks, 2 washing trucks (with water circulation system), 2 Toilet truck, 1 communication vehicle, 1 medical vehicle, 1 power generation vehicle, and 1 office equipment vehicle.

Card Xiu led his team back to the camp.

He took nine temporary workers and boarded the team's exclusive dormitory car: "Everyone takes a shower first, and then we go over to eat together."

"OK."

Open their respective wardrobes, take out the clothes with unique numbers, and then go to the shower truck.

People are already taking showers in the two shower trucks. This specially customized shower truck is somewhat similar to a double-decker bus, with 6 independent bathrooms and a laundry room.

Some people don't go to take a shower first, but go to eat first, so there are only more than 20 people in line.

Kashu sat on a small bench and opened a bottle of frozen Coke. Since the terrain here was relatively high, he could overlook the city of Kom Ombo and the Nile River in the distance.

Most of the red sunset was hidden behind the horizon.

"Captain Kaxiu, will the company really give us a house?" Tisi looked at the sunset that was about to disappear.

"Tis, where is that over there?"

Following Kaxiu's finger, Tisi looked over: "Where? Isn't that Kom Ombo?"

Ka Xiu took a sip of Coke: "Do you know why the company wants to invest in the construction of the Gobi Desert New Area?"

"Why?" Tisi scratched the stubble on his cheek in confusion.

"Because we want to build a new world."

Doubts flashed in Tisi's eyes: "Build a new world? Does this have anything to do with building a house?"

"You are very confused? Then why don't you wonder about your past life? Why don't you wonder about what kind of life you will live in the future?"

Tisi, who was confused by the question, quickly took a sip of Coke to replenish his sugar.

Ka Xiu looked at the city in the distance with a deep look: "Kom Ombo, that is the city of the old era, and the new area of ​​​​the Gobi Desert is the new world. You should not ask when the houses will be divided, but you must create it all with your own hands. .”

Tisi couldn't turn around: "But aren't we building roads now? How can we have time to build houses?"

"Why do you think so? You should put yourself into the company. You are building roads, and others are building houses, producing daily necessities, and growing crops. We are all a whole. As long as you work hard and do your job well, you will be fine. Get everything.”

Tis thought about these words of Ka Xiu in his mind.

Cardiff continued with a smile: "This is why we are building a new district, because the rules and regulations of the old world will only hinder us from building a new world."

"But..." Tisi was about to retort, but then stopped.

Because he suddenly discovered that his life was indeed restricted by various restrictions, and this restriction did not bring him a wealthy life, but made his life more difficult.

Others also became thoughtful.

If those rules and regulations cannot bring about development and a better life, that is a mistake in itself.

Why else would they have such a difficult life?

Tisi struggled in his heart for a while: "But will the company really bring us a better life?"

"It is very normal that you have doubts and worries, but at this time you should choose to believe in the company and then try hard to see if the company can deliver."

Beneath Cassius's calm exterior, he actually has a heart full of fanatical confidence.

Confidence and fanaticism are the characteristics of their new human employees.
