April 1.

The other side of the globe.

On the east side of the Suez Canal in Egypt, a canal parallel to the Suez Canal had been doubled and widened by this time.

Its length is slightly longer than that of the Suez Canal, with a single-line width of 550 meters and a depth of 25~45 meters, which is enough to accommodate a 300,000-ton giant ship to pass through.

The opening of this canal immediately ushered in a large number of large transport ships.

Although the EU and the Gulf countries are very wary of Homo sapiens, the Second Suez Canal is really fragrant, not only is the navigability very good, but the navigation cost is also a little lower than that of the Suez Canal.

Although the European Union has reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia and Judah to build a new oil pipeline.

But with the speed of their infrastructure construction, even if they grit their teeth, it will take three to five years to complete, not to mention that the European Union, Judah, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia all have their own ghosts, and it will be hellish that the project can be implemented quickly.

As for the Dead Sea Canal that America built in Judah, it will also take at least four or five years, or even ten years.

The two Suez Canals are now the core of maritime communication between West Asia and Europe.

However, for Homo sapiens, the importance of the Second Suez Canal is actually not as important as the Northern Canal and the Southern Canal in Egypt.

After all, Homo sapiens and the EU have relatively little trade.

If one day the EU dares to be blind, Homo sapiens even dares to cut off the Suez Canal directly.

This is also the reason why the EU gritted its teeth and also engaged in land oil pipelines, because Homo sapiens and the EU did not have much trade, and the closure of the Suez Canal did not have any loss to Homo sapiens.

After the full entry of Homo sapiens in Egypt, canal tolls are no longer a pillar industry.

The pillar industries of Egypt today are agriculture and minerals, textiles, aquaculture, and the trade center of northeastern Africa.

Three new giant rhino canal vessels arrived in Egypt, with the exception of two for the Suez Canal and one for the southern canal, while the remaining two were digging seawater channels in the coastal plains of the Red Sea provinces.

At present, there are as many as 420,000 hectares of seawater rice fields in the Red Sea Province, and a quarter of them have been planted.

Around the port of Hongku.

Xu Yingcheng is taking the working group of the Ministry of Demand to the first reclamation site.

Along the 130-meter-wide sea channel, the passenger ship slowly sailed towards the first reclamation site.

Kadir, the leader of the investigation team, looked at the endless rice fields on both sides of the strait with a telescope, and it was hard to imagine that four months ago, there were still thousands of miles of yellow sand here.

Kadir turned his head and asked with a smile, "Manager Xu, there should be birds coming over here to eat rice!" Will it cause ecological problems? ”

Leaning on the railing, Xu Yingcheng, who was chewing gum, shook his head: "Don't worry, we have set up a pheromone expulsion device around the perimeter, and those birds will automatically stay away from here when they feel the stimulation of special pheromones." ”

"I see."

With that, Kadir continued to browse the surrounding scenery with his binoculars.

Not far away, hundreds of large rice transplanters, similar to hovercraft, are working in muddy seawater rice fields.

In order to supplement the organic matter of the soil here, a large amount of organic fertilizer is added as a base fertilizer during the paddy field leveling process.

After each harvest, the cut straw will also be sent to the organic fertilizer fermentation plant for fermentation, and then pulled back to the field to ensure that the organic matter content of the soil is maintained to a certain extent.

As soon as the planting stage is reached, the organic matter accumulation in these paddy fields will soon enter a virtuous cycle.

About two and a half hours later.

The passenger ship came to the small pier at the first reclamation point.

This is actually one of the affiliated towns of Hongku Port.

Coming down from the pier, Kadir saw neat houses and streets, as well as employees who were busy, a typical agricultural city.

The surrounding 80,000 hectares of rice paddies and 2,000 hectares of seafood farms are all operated by this small city.

The population of the whole city is not large, it is a small town, with a population of about 8,000, and most of them are employees of Haitian Agriculture.

Kadir turned his head: "Manager Xu, thanks for leading the way, we will be busy first." ”

"You're welcome, just drop by."

After Xu Yingcheng said goodbye to Kadir, he continued to take the passenger ship to the north, and the destination he was going to pass at this time was the second reclamation site.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the next arrangement.

It is not enough to have a canal, the canal is okay to transport goods, but the passenger transport is too slow, which is not conducive to the strategy of the head office.

He looked at the rice paddy areas with a dense network of rivers, and the construction of surface highways and railways did not fit the situation here.

After all, you can't build a 50-meter-high overhead bridge every time you cross a sea channel!

Therefore, the subway becomes the best option.

In the future, this kind of large agricultural area will definitely be a vast and sparsely populated state, and the distance between each small town and the main city has become a problem that must be considered.

Why should you think about this?

The reason is very simple, Homo sapiens does not want townships to appear.

To a certain extent, townships are naturally closed, clan-like, exclusive, conservative, and corrupt.

If the transportation of various towns and main cities is not solved, it will be difficult to curb the deterioration of towns and villages, no matter how good the mobility of Homo sapiens employees is.

Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem fundamentally, that is, to destroy the island character of the township, so that it can be integrated with the main city and become a block of the main city.

Homo sapiens is fully engaged in urbanization in order to strangle the islands of towns and villages, and avoid the formation of the concept of "natives" due to long-term island life.

Xu Yingcheng understands the concerns of the head office very well, it is human nature to huddle together to keep warm, and he is from the Xu family in Luzon.

There are pros and cons to the existence of large families.

There is no doubt that the resistance of the big family to various disasters is stronger than that of ordinary people when encountering a harsh living environment.

However, the set within the big family sometimes gives rise to various problems, and even resists management for the sake of family interests.

At present, each new city in the plan will not set up towns and towns, only affiliated blocks, in order to reduce the growth soil of big families and conservative forces.

After more than two hours, Xu Yingcheng's passenger ship finally arrived at the second reclamation site.

It is a small town under construction, 103 kilometers from the port of Hongku, which is exactly half an hour in the traffic circle.

The half-hour traffic circle set by Homo sapiens is the area that can be reached by the high-speed subway in half an hour.

At present, the average speed of the high-speed subway of Homo sapiens is 241 kilometers per hour, which is 120.5 kilometers in half an hour.

That is to say, after the subway is built in the future, the distance between these reclamation sites and Hongku Port must be guaranteed to be about half an hour, and the two places can travel back and forth.

If it exceeds the half-hour traffic circle, it will not be included in the jurisdiction of Hongku Port, but will be handed over to other cities, or newly established cities.

Isolated island towns that exist alone are not allowed to appear unless they are special secret bases.

Xu Yingcheng walked around the second reclamation site and did not find too many problems, mainly communication problems between some immigrants who had just come from the Nile Delta region and Southeast Asian immigrants.

Other construction, supporting facilities, daily management, etc., Homo sapiens has already formed a complete set of processes internally, even if the management ability is poor, as long as the implementation of the script, there will be no major problems.

After inspecting the place, he hurried back to make a report and asked the headquarters to approve the construction of a high-speed subway in Hongku Port.
