Homo sapiens

Java Sea between Borneo and Java Island.

Deep under the sea, a huge underground tunnel runs through the Java Sea, connecting Borneo to the island of Java.

Li Qingye is inspecting the construction of the submarine base invested by the company here.

Wu Yebo, who is responsible for managing the Java branch, introduced the entire project to him.

"Due to the company's acquisition of various undersea oil and gas fields that were previously sold, we have now built eight large underground base cities in the Java Sea."

The holographic map in front of me is completely different from the map of Southeast Asia published by ordinary publishing houses.

Thanks to the development of technology, the internal definition of available land within the Homo sapiens company includes a large part of shallow sea areas.

The Homo sapiens company in Southeast Asia has included the surrounding sea areas within the scope of development.

At this time, the Java Branch was responsible for the development work in the Java Sea area.

Li Qingye stared at the enclosed Sunda Continent, which is the shallow sea area currently being developed by the Homo sapiens company.

The so-called Sunda Continent refers to the sea retreat phenomenon that occurred during the last ice age because a large part of the world's water resources was occupied by ice sheets.

The sea level at that time was 80 to 100 meters lower than it is now.

As a result, the ancient land of Sunda emerged from the sea and became integrated with the Indochina Peninsula.

The entire ancient Sundaland includes the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island, the Strait of Malacca, Borneo, Java Island, the Java Sea, the waters surrounding the Natuna Islands, and the waters surrounding the Gulf of Siam (Lake Siam).

The total area is approximately 4 million square kilometers.

Now 95% of the ancient Sunda Continent is within the influence of the Homo sapiens company. Therefore, the homo sapiens company uses its technological advantages to secretly build cities hidden under the sea.

These cities are built under hundreds of meters of rock formations, and with nearly a hundred meters of sea water, their defenses are higher than some bases on land.

After all, today's missiles have no way to penetrate hundreds of meters of rock formations after penetrating nearly a hundred meters of water.

The water body has a very strong retarding effect on high-speed flying missiles. Under normal circumstances, ground-penetrating missiles cannot penetrate the seabed rock formations because the kinetic energy has been dissipated by the water body.

Of course, Li Qingye knew very well that once a war really started, it would most likely be a nuclear bomb.

However, seawater can also suppress the destructive power of nuclear bombs in a nuclear strike, especially in sea areas with a depth of more than 1,000 meters, where nuclear explosions are difficult to strike.

According to America and Lao Maozi, they had conducted various underwater nuclear explosions. Even the Big Ivan, which claimed to be able to move tectonic plates, could not destroy targets located below 3,000 meters on the seabed.

Li Qingye has already felt the undercurrent of the world at this time. The rise of the Homo sapiens company will inevitably lead to heavy losses for other powers.

Although most of the bosses behind the scenes are greedy for life and afraid of death, there will always be some "mutants" in humans sometimes.

If someone can't bear the blow and plans to die with the Homo Sapiens Company, that is also possible.

There are crazy people everywhere.

Therefore, in October last year, Li Qingye secretly summoned the management and held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with the desperate attempts of other forces.

After discussion, a total of five plans were formulated.

They are the Ice Domain Plan, the Guigong Plan, the Ancient Continent Plan, the Qianyuan Plan, and the Hades Plan.

Project Ice was the former Antarctica base.

The Katsura Palace Project is to build a lunar base and achieve permanent human presence on the moon.

The supporting facilities of this plan are currently building five space bases, namely: Hongsawady Branch-Hugang Space City, Luzon Branch-Medan Space City, Ceylon Branch Space City, Suez Branch- Harij Space City, Motor Island Branch-Northern Space City.

The underwater city in the Java Sea that Li Qingye is currently investigating is part of the Ancient Continent Plan.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Wu Yebo shook his head: "It's all for the company."

"Has the terraced city here been planned?"

"Part of it has been planned, but the number is relatively small. Currently, only two suitable locations have been identified."

Li Qingye looked at the holographic map, and he immediately understood the difficulties of the Java branch.

Although the Java region has the Java Sea, which covers an area of ​​more than 800,000 square kilometers, the Java Sea is not suitable as a construction area for stepped cities because the Java Sea is too shallow.

Ladder cities cannot be built on the continental shelf. This is for safety reasons. After all, powerful nuclear bombs are still very lethal to shallow seas.

The deep sea area near the Java Branch is in the Ceylon Ocean to the south, and the Java Island at the junction of the plates is also not conducive to the construction of underground bases.

Therefore, it can only develop towards the Makassar Strait in the direction of Sulawesi Island.

The stepped city in the deep sea area is the core of the ancient continent plan and is equivalent to a special safe house.

Once a war breaks out in the outside world, you can quickly take the subway to move out of the undersea shelf city and take refuge in the safer deep-sea ladder city.

Therefore, in the underwater city of the ancient Sunda continent, a stepped city sufficient to temporarily house hundreds of millions of employees must be arranged around it.

Of course, Li Qingye’s positioning of the ladder city is very clear, that is, it is a safe haven.

The ladder city does not require many residences and supporting facilities, because most of the employees who enter here will be forced to be wrapped in life-support capsules and hibernate to reduce the resource consumption of the base.

Therefore, the stepped city is designed to be very compact. After all, people in a dormant state do not need to move, eat, bathe, etc. They only need an area of ​​a few square meters.

Each terraced city can accommodate at least 1 million employees for shelter and can maintain their survival in a life-sustaining capsule for about three years.

The reason for the three years is mainly because the dormancy of the vitamin capsule has side effects.

At present, it can only guarantee no side effects within three months. In about half a year, slight muscle degeneration and memory loss will occur.

Once it exceeds two years, the muscles will further degenerate, and 20 to 30% of memory will be lost, as well as the sequelae of memory confusion.

In the third year, the body will basically reach its limit, and if it is not awakened and recovered, it may be life-threatening.

Therefore, it is best to wake up from forced hibernation within three months.

Li Qingye, who often goes into hibernation, has a deep understanding of hibernation technology.

For survival and stability, this kind of dormancy is essential.

After all, once a war breaks out, various civilian facilities will also be affected. Those non-combatants will reduce resource consumption through hibernation, which will help concentrate most resources in the military field.

After Li Qingye inspected this underground base city, he did not stop here. Instead, he took the subway to the eastern coast of Borneo.

The eastern coast of Borneo is separated from the island of Sulawesi across the Makassar Strait.

Throughout the Makassar Strait, more than a dozen stepped cities have been planned on the seabed. Two have been built so far, and other stepped cities are under intensive construction.

However, Li Qingye came here not to visit the stepped city, because he had previously inspected the stepped city at the bottom of the Sulu Sea in the Luzon Islands.

This time he came to eastern Borneo mainly to inspect the No. 9 shipyard of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Group.

The shipyard was only established in October last year and is mainly engaged in the manufacturing and research and development of special ships.

The subway is not directly connected to the shipyard, so Li Qingye got off the train in a nearby city and then took a minibus to the shipyard.

The shipyard is on the side of a mountain, with part of the factory building at the foot of the mountain and another part inside the mountain.

As soon as he walked into the shipyard, Li Qingye saw a familiar figure.
