Seeing that Nobuyoshi Takeda's face was wrong, Thales hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Takeda, what's wrong?"

Takeda Nobuyoshi's face was extremely ugly: "Coral Submarine Cable just announced the construction of 19 large-scale submarine optical cables. ”

"What?" Thales' face also changed drastically.

The secretary on the side hurriedly turned on the Internet and soon found the relevant announcement content on the official website of Coral Cable.

According to the information published by Coral Cable.

By the end of 2024, the laying of these 19 submarine fiber optic cables will be completed.

And these 19 submarine fiber optic cables are:

3 in the Pacific Ocean: Medan-Panama Line, New Guinea-Peru Line, Luzon-Vladivostok Line.

5 in the Ceylon Ocean: Sumatra-Ceylon line, Yangon-Ceylon line, Ceylon-Madagascar line, Ceylon-Persian Gulf line, Ceylon-Red Sea-Egypt line.

5 lines around the African coast: Madagascar Island - Cape of Good Hope Line, Madagascar Island - Egypt Line, Cape of Good Hope - Gulf of Guinea Line, Gulf of Guinea - Strait of Gibraltar Line, Strait of Gibraltar - Suez Canal Line.

4 along the South American coast: Panama-Peru line, Peru-Argentina line, Argentina-Brazil-Little Venice line, Little Venice line-Caribbean-Panama line.

2 lines in the Atlantic Ocean: Cape of Good Hope - Argentina line, Gulf of Guinea - Brazil line.

This basically connects Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Northeast Asia, Africa and South America, as well as the vast Pacific island countries.

In fact, the outside world knows that Homo sapiens has many submarine fiber optic cables that it operates.

For example, the islands in Southeast Asia, as well as between Ceylon and Southeast Asia, the quality of network communication between Homo sapiens is very high, and satellite communication alone will definitely not be possible.

It's just that Takeda Nobuyoshi, Thales, Henry Perrin and others never expected that Homo sapiens would move so quickly.

According to the announced route, the nodes and communication capacity of each submarine fiber optic cable along the way far exceed those currently in operation.

Nobuyoshi Takeda, who can be the president of the NEC, is naturally not a fool, and he immediately saw the ambition of Homo sapiens.

The other party intends to take advantage of the failure of Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, and NEC to overcome the antifungal problem of deep-sea submarine fiber optic cables, and quickly connect submarine fiber optic cables to all parts of the world, so as to hit America's Internet giants.

Europe and the United States are on the same page as Homo sapiens, and several European and American companies that operate submarine fiber optic cables have repeatedly targeted Homo sapiens' Internet subsidiaries to restrict their communication traffic.

Now the Homo sapiens countermeasures have come.

Looking at the route map released by the Coral Cable, everyone in the conference room was silent.

What can they do now.

Is there a call for countries along the route to resist the laying of submarine fiber optic cables by Homo sapiens?

Even Toei, who is in cahoots with America, has no way to stop it when he sees the Coral Cable directly delineating the route between the Tsushima Strait and the Ryukyu Islands.

Because according to the maritime convention, even the exclusive economic zone of the ocean must allow the passage of submarine fiber optic cables from other countries.

Moreover, the compensation agreement signed by Dongying and Homo sapiens some time ago stipulates that Homo sapiens can unconditionally lay submarine fiber optic cables in Dongying's maritime exclusive economic zone.

As for secretly doing things, such as sending a submarine to blow up the submarine fiber optic cable of Homo sapiens, no force dares to mess around with this kind of thing.

After all, Homo sapiens is not Lucia and Germany.

If you don't want to take a dirt plane, it's best not to think crookedly.

Of course, now it's not just Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, NEC and other submarine cable engineering giants who are anxious.

Those submarine cable operating companies and Internet giants are estimated to be like ants on a hot pot.

Nobuyoshi Takeda did not doubt the plans announced by Coral Cable, and Homo sapiens is notoriously fast in the field of engineering and construction.

He said worriedly: "We must find a way to solve the problem of deep-sea submarine fiber optic cables as soon as possible, otherwise even if Homo sapiens does not intervene, we will not be able to support it for two or three years." ”

Henry Perrin nodded, and then proposed, "How about building a deep-diving engineering submarine?" This is the only viable option at the moment. ”

"......" Thales frowned, but he planned in his heart that he would quickly communicate with the Pentagon after he returned, and it would be best to lease some of the mothballed old submarines.

In fact, they only need to solve the buried construction problem of more than 1,000 meters, and they can achieve the purpose of extending the service life of submarine fiber optic cables.

The sea temperature at a depth of more than 1,000 meters is already lower than the temperature at which fungi breed in Tokyo.

But this does not mean that it is easy to solve, because submarine construction is very dangerous at a depth of more than 200 meters.

It's just that they are desperate and don't want the company to go bankrupt, so they can only give it a go.

Tyco is a little better, at least the Pentagon will not allow their company to go bankrupt and will definitely help.

Alcatel-Lucent also has the support of France behind it, and the military submarine technology of the French chicken is okay, and it is no problem to change a few as engineering submarines.

The only thing that is more difficult is Dongying's NEC company, and they are basically isolated now.

Of course, even if the engineering submarine scheme is used, it is necessary to transform a suitable engineering submarine, and with the construction mode of these developed countries, it is estimated that it will take two or three years before a qualified engineering submarine can be used.

Now the three families can only pray to the chaebol behind them, hoping to get some assistance to tide over the current difficulties.

……

The other side.

Coral Submarine Cable Company after announcing a new submarine fiber optic cable scheme.

In the areas along the route of the submarine fiber optic cable, some bold forces have secretly contacted the coral submarine cable, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

And the small forces that are afraid of America and Homo sapiens also don't think they have seen this announcement, and they don't want to participate in the-for-tat confrontation between these two giants, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.

I can't afford to provoke, and I can afford to hide.

Even Far East and Tianzhu are pinching their noses and cooperating with Coral Cable, not cooperating, unless they are willing to wait for antifungal plastics to appear in the future, no one dares to pack a ticket for this kind of future thing.

In addition, a large part of their submarine fiber optic cable project was also contracted by Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, and NEC, and now it is just a change of contractor.

In this series of chain reactions, one of the saddest places is actually the Oceania region.

Because Homo sapiens' submarine fiber optic cables have bypassed Australia and New Zealand, and America is busy reviving the economy, it also has no time to upgrade the submarine fiber optic cables near Australia.

Therefore, Oceania now has a tendency to become isolated.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the geographical environment of Oceania, in addition to being relatively close to Southeast Asia, the other directions are endless oceans, which greatly limits the development of Australia.

Once America cannot support the strategic system in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia will bear the brunt.

After all, Australia is too far away from America, and it is relatively close to Southeast Asia, the home base of Homo sapiens.

So now Australia is in a hurry, not only going to North America to cry, hoping that America can support Australia more, and even began to seek to develop nuclear bombs.

It's just that the Pentagon, for its part, is still hesitant.

In fact, it is no wonder that Australia is so frightened, mainly because in the first quarter of this year, Australia's commodities are still falling, but internal prices are gradually rising.

If America doesn't support Australia anymore, it is estimated that Australia will collapse on its own in a few years.
