End of May.

Tianzhu Lightspeed has reached a series of economic cooperation agreements with America, the European Union, the Far East, and Lucia, completely opening up the market.

The sword-wielding America companies also quickly invested heavily in Mumbai and around Delhi and wooed the local Brahmin and Kshatriya families.

These Brahmins and Kshatriyas, at least a large part of them, are willing to cooperate with the American and other powers.

One more competitor means that they have one more choice to avoid being manipulated by Homo sapiens.

Therefore, the enterprises of many great powers have developed rapidly in various parts of Tianzhu, and a large amount of money has been scattered into this magical land of South Asia.

For this situation, Homo sapiens behaved very calmly.

Subsidies for cash crops and dumping of low-priced grains continue to be maintained.

Meanwhile.

Homo sapiens has quietly opened up a second battlefield.

Australia's major iron ore producers have had to reduce production in their mines because Homo sapiens dumped a large amount of iron ore at low prices in the international market.

After more than half a year of production reduction, the Australian iron ore production has reached 70~80%.

The large iron ore mines in Western Australia have been mothballed, a large number of miners have lost their jobs, and mining processing and haulage equipment have been deactivated and placed in temporary warehouses.

Pandora, who is in charge of the Oceania branch, is leisurely drinking afternoon tea in Sydney at this time.

She looked at her watch, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

As a "white man" who looks like a mixed race, Pandora looks very ordinary and opens a bookstore in Sydney.

Although Black Ship and Australia are very wary of Homo sapiens, the monitoring of immigrants from Asia has increased a lot.

But Pandora didn't come from Asia, but from Latin America, and because of her white appearance, she wasn't on the list of local targets.

She looked at the deserted fallen leaves on the street, and there was only calm in her eyes.

Winter is just in place in the Southern Hemisphere.

Suddenly, a white man appeared in front of her: "Beautiful Anna, are you free at night?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you." Pandora waved her hand.

The man said reluctantly: "I went to the Northern Territory some time ago and collected a lot of specimens of flowers and plants, is it really just to come and see?" ”

"I just like the flowers of the moment."

After being entangled for a while, the man fled.

Pandora looked at the man's back and thought silently: the Northern Territory has completed the arrangement.

At the same time.

In the BHP Billiton mine in Western Australia, tens of thousands of cockroaches quietly entered various equipment warehouses and began to do things precisely.

The security guard in charge of guarding did not notice the abnormality, and still played games on the computer as usual, without checking the equipment at all.

After all, the warehouses in this kind of mining area are surrounded by wilderness, and there are no outsiders near them at all.

These security guards have become accustomed to the long-term stability, and they all know that there will be no problems with the equipment warehouse, so they take care of themselves to play games, or chat and eat.

In fact, even if they went to check now, there was no way to find the trace of cockroaches.

on a large transport vehicle.

More than a dozen cockroaches entered the gearbox and then sprayed some liquid on the gears, which contained bacteria that can corrode the metal, which can accelerate the rust of the gears and reduce the strength of the gears.

Of course, these bacteria are all disposable and can only reproduce for 6 generations, and after 6 generations, the bacteria enter a state of self-destruction.

In addition to gears, there are also propeller shafts, fuel tanks, engines, brake systems, etc., which have not escaped the black hands of cockroaches.

Although it takes a while for the corrosive bacteria sprayed by cockroaches to form corrosive damage, at this time, these devices are eating dust in the warehouse, and there is no problem with time.

What's more, the Department of Field Support also knows how to take care and will not directly destroy these devices, but reduce their service life.

In fact, as long as the protective layer of some parts is destroyed, the internal corrosion rate will also be accelerated.

At the same time, some cockroaches also spray plastic everywhere to decompose fungi.

90% of Western Australia's iron ore mining areas are concentrated around the Turner River, which is located near the Tropic of Capricorn and has a typical tropical desert climate and savanna climate.

This climate is ideal for the growth of plastic-decomposing fungi, especially the large amount of fresh water required to mine iron ore, which increases the humidity of the air around the mine and further increases the rate of fungal reproduction.

As long as there are some dark wounds left on these mining equipment, when the time comes for these equipment to be turned on again, there will definitely be frequent failures.

Not only are these large-scale mining rigs staggeringly expensive, but they are also very expensive to maintain and repair.

For Australia's iron ore producers, Homo sapiens is full of malice.

After scrapping these guys' mining equipment, they can start to pull up international iron ore prices by the end of the year, prompting Australian iron ore producers to expand their production capacity.

When the time comes, they find that the equipment is constantly failing, and there are only two options, one is to keep repairing it, and the other is to purchase new equipment.

After they purchased new equipment and expanded production capacity, Homo sapiens once again drove down the price of iron ore, leaving these Australian iron ore producers with no money.

Just play a few more times and toss back and forth repeatedly.

BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Brazil's Vale will not be able to withstand this kind of volatility and will end up going bankrupt and reorganizing, or relying on America's assistance to survive.

Not only iron ore, but also other minerals, as well as grain, can be operated in this way.

First raise the price, attract the other party to invest more, and then when the other party is about to harvest, directly pull down the price, so that the other party will directly lose all their money.

If you want to break the layout of Homo sapiens, there is only one way, and that is to completely block Homo sapiens and not have any economic dealings with Homo sapiens.

The problem is the current international situation, and it is not the American family that has the final say.

Homo sapiens are a significant part of global trade, and it is difficult for Australia to avoid Homo sapiens.

Moreover, Homo sapiens also controls the global steel industry, even steel companies in the Far East, due to the characteristics of processing with supplied materials, it is also difficult to escape the influence of Homo sapiens.

The only remaining steel plants in Europe and North America, including Dongying Iron and Steel and Pohang Iron and Steel, have been squeezed out of breath by Homo sapiens.

After all, without Homo sapiens iron ore, the production cost will be much higher.

And the iron ore of Homo sapiens cannot support Australia's iron ore industry.

Once there is a problem with Australian iron ore producers, as long as the iron ore industry is abandoned for two or three years, it will take several times the cost to restart.

After all, mining and transportation equipment are depreciating, and industrial workers will change careers, unless someone is willing to provide for it for a long time, otherwise even if it is restarted, its production costs will be difficult to compete with Homo sapiens.

When Australian iron ore producers are abolished, there is no way for the world to check and balance what Homo sapiens do in the iron ore industry.

A roller coaster of prices, also known as cyclical price fluctuations.

For companies that adopt a free market model, they can cope with the impact of the price roller coaster, but they cannot fight the pressure of the giant enterprises in the price roller coaster.

At the beginning, Samsung used a roller coaster of prices in memory and electronic products, beating a lot of competitors in that continuous cycle.

Even a pseudo-giant like Samsung, they can't deal with it.

Not to mention a real giant like Homo sapiens.

Once they enter the rhythm of Homo sapiens, their enterprises will only have a share of the price roller coaster cycle.

Now Homo sapiens is laying traps and quietly waiting for the prey to step into them.
