Chapter 358: Sunda Gulu (Happy New Year)
The Java Sea between Borneo and the island of Java.
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 here.
Wu Yebo, who is in charge of the management of the Java district, introduced the entire project to him on the side.
"As a result of the company's repossession of the various subsea 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 issued by ordinary publishers.
Thanks to the development of technology, the definition of territory within Homo sapiens encompasses the sea area under its control.
The Homo sapiens control zone in Southeast Asia, which includes the territorial sea and the exclusive economic zone of the sea, are included in the territorial scope.
At this time, the Java Sea region belonged to the Java region.
Li Qingye stared at the enclosed Sunda Ancient Land, which was the shallow sea territory currently being developed by the Homo sapiens company.
The so-called Sunda ancient continent refers to the retreat of the sea during the last ice age, when a large part of the world's water resources were occupied by ice sheets.
At that time, the sea level was 80~100 meters lower than it is now.
As a result, the Sunda Ancient Land was exposed to the sea and connected with the Indochina Peninsula.
The entire Sunda continent includes the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, the Strait of Malacca, Borneo, the island of Java, the Sea of Java, the waters around the Natuna Islands, and the waters around the Gulf of Siam (Lake Siam).
The total area is about 4 million square kilometers.
At present, 95% of the ancient land of Sunda is under the control of Homo sapiens, so Homo sapiens uses its technological advantages to secretly build cities hidden under the sea.
These cities are built under rock formations hundreds of meters thick, and with nearly 100 meters of seawater, their defense is higher than that of some bases on land.
After all, today's missiles have no way to penetrate a rock layer several hundred meters thick again after penetrating a body of water of nearly 100 meters.
The water body has a very strong slowing effect on high-speed missiles, and under normal circumstances, ground-penetrating missiles cannot penetrate the rock formations on the seabed, because the kinetic energy has been exhausted by the water body.
Of course, Li Qingye knows very well that once the war really starts, there is a high probability that it will be the rhythm of nuclear bomb washing.
However, seawater can also suppress the destructive power of nuclear bombs in a nuclear attack, especially in those sea areas with a depth of more than 1,000 meters, and it is difficult to strike a nuclear explosion.
At the beginning, according to America and Lao Maozi, they had done all kinds of underwater nuclear explosions, and even Big Ivan, who claimed to be able to make the plates move, could not destroy targets located 3,000 meters below the seabed.
Li Qingye had already felt the undercurrent of the world surging at this time, and the rise of Homo sapiens would inevitably lead to heavy losses for other powers.
Although the vast majority of those behind-the-scenes bosses are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are always some "mutants" in human beings.
If someone can't stand the blow and plans to die with Homo sapiens, that's also possible.
Maniacs are everywhere.
Therefore, in October last year, Li Qingye secretly convened the management and held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with the dogs of the great powers jumping over the wall.
As a result of the discussions, a total of five options were developed.
They are the Ice Domain Plan, the Guigong Plan, the Ancient Land Plan, the Abyss Plan, and the Hades Plan.
The Ice Fields Project is the former Antarctic base.
The Guigong plan is to build a lunar base and realize the permanent residence of human beings on the moon.
At present, the supporting facilities of this plan are the construction of five space bases, namely: Hungsavady-Hugang Space City, Luzon-Medan Space City, Ceylon Space City, Egypt-Harrij Space City, and East Mada Island Space City.
The underwater city in the Java Sea, which Li Qingye is now investigating, is part of the Gulu Project.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Yebo shook his head: "It's all for the company." ”
"Is the stepped city planned here?"
"Some of them have been planned, but the number is relatively small, and only two suitable locations have been identified."
Li Qingye looked at the holographic map, and he immediately understood the difficulties of the Java area.
Although the Java Sea covers an area of more than 800,000 square kilometers, the Java Sea is not suitable as a construction area for a stepped city because the Java Sea is too shallow.
Ladder cities cannot be built on the continental shelf, this is for safety reasons, after all, high-powered nuclear bombs still have a lot of lethality against shallow seas.
However, the deep-sea area of Java is on the Ceylon Ocean in the south, and the island of Java, which is at the junction of tectonic plates, is also not conducive to the construction of underground bases.
Therefore, it is possible to develop only towards the Makassar Strait in the direction of Sulawesi.
The stepped city in the deep sea area is the core of the ancient land plan, which is equivalent to a special safe house.
In the event of a war in the outside world, you can quickly take the subway to evacuate from the shelf city under the sea and take refuge in the safer deep-sea ladder city.
Therefore, in the seabed cities of the ancient Sunda continent, there must be enough stepped cities around the perimeter to temporarily accommodate hundreds of millions of people.
Of course, Li Qingye's positioning of the ladder city is very clear, that is, a safe shelter.
Tiered cities don't need much housing and supporting facilities, because the vast majority of people who enter here will be forced to lie dormant in a life support bag 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., as long as there is an area of a few square meters.
Each ladder city can accommodate at least 1 million people to evacuate and sustain them in their survival bags for about 3 years.
The reason why it is three years is mainly because of the side effects of dormancy of the sac.
At present, it can only be guaranteed that there will be no side effects within three months, and in about half a year, there will be slight muscle degeneration and memory loss.
Once more than two years have passed, the muscles will further degenerate, and at the same time, 20~30% of the memory will be lost, and the sequelae of memory confusion will appear.
By the third year, the body will basically reach its limit, and if it is not awakened and rehabilitated, it is likely to be life-threatening.
Therefore, forced hibernation is best to wake up within three months.
Li Qingye, who often goes to hibernation, has a deep understanding of dormancy technology.
In order to survive and be stable, this dormancy is again essential.
After all, once a war breaks out, all kinds of civilian facilities will also be affected, and those non-combatants, through dormancy, reduce resource consumption, which is conducive to concentrating most of the resources in the military field.
After inspecting this underground base city, Li Qingye did not stop here, but took the subway to the eastern coast of Borneo.
The eastern coast of Borneo is separated by the Strait of Makassar and the island of Sulawesi.
In the entire Makassar Strait, more than a dozen tiered cities have been planned for the seabed, two of which have been built so far, and other tiered cities are in full swing.
However, Li Qingye didn't come here to visit the stepped city, because he had previously inspected the stepped city on the bottom of the Sulu Sea in the Luzon Islands.
This time he came to eastern Borneo mainly to inspect the 9th shipyard of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Group.
The shipyard was established only in October last year and is mainly engaged in the manufacture and research and development of special vessels.
The subway does not have a direct connection to the shipyard, so Li Qingye got off at the surrounding city and took a minibus to the shipyard.
The shipyard is on one side of a mountain, part of the factory building is at the foot of the mountain, and the other part is inside the mountain.
As soon as he walked into the shipyard, Li Qingye saw a familiar figure.
