Chapter 416: New Immigrants (1)

Egypt.

Red Sea Province, Hongku Port.

The Hulu family, who had come across the sea, were a little uneasy.

Two months ago, he and a few colleagues fled from Saigon in Annam on a fishing boat with his family to the coast of Siam district.

After some twists and turns, he and several colleagues were separated, and his family was arranged to travel to Egypt.

The initial allocation of new immigrants by Homo sapiens is compulsory after training, and new immigrants will not be allowed to choose where to go, unless they are senior technicians, they have the right to choose.

Therefore, Hulu's family had no choice but to accept the arrangement of the Ministry of Personnel and come to settle in Egypt.

The migrant cruise ship carried a total of 6,382 people, all of whom were from Northeast and Southeast Asia.

He and a few young people from Annam were leaning against the railing, watching the cruise ship slowly moored at the berth of the passenger ship in the port of Hongku.

"Is this really Egypt?" A young man with three fingers missing asked curiously.

Hu Lu shook the mobile phone in his hand: "Of course it's Egypt, doesn't the mobile phone have a location?" ”

The young man looked out at the lush greenery in the distance: "When I was studying, geography textbooks could tell me that most of Egypt was a tropical desert, even the Red Sea coast. ”

"It should be seawater rice." Hulu guessed.

Not far away, about 1,200 people were disembarking with a small amount of luggage.

And the destination of Hulu and the others was not here, their destination was the Lake Geta formed in the Gaita Depression.

More than an hour later.

More than 1,200 newcomers disembarked and were picked up by staff from the personnel department of the port of Hongku.

Migrant cruise ships anchored and entered the southern canals.

The canal is very straight, and after several widenings, it has been widened several times to form a Grand Canal with a width of 520 meters and a depth of 35 meters.

Because the canal channel is deep enough and the width is relatively suitable, the speed of the boat can reach about 12 knots in the canal.

Standing on the deck, you can see another canal 500 meters away on the south side, which is the double line of the canal.

In the farther afield, it is an endless emerald green, and Hulu, who has lived in Annam for more than 20 years, is all too familiar with rice.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't stop the sameness.

The great plain in front of him, except for the endless seawater rice, there was nothing else, it seemed very monotonous, and he didn't even see a bird.

But after more than two hours of sailing.

Migrant cruise ships entered the valley area, and the surrounding terrain began to gradually rise.

The area above 200 meters was not planned to be converted into a seawater irrigation area at the beginning.

During the previous excavation, dense cutting marks were left on the rock walls on both sides, and because there is no irrigation area, it is composed of stones and the Gobi Desert, so the color of this side is gray and yellow.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt the desolation of the desert region of Egypt.

It was more than two hours of sailing.

"There is a city ......," the young man pointed to the canal on the west side.

The city is located on a flattened mountain.

Next to the city is an artificial lake, which was previously transformed into a valley with an area of about 28 square kilometers, into which the two double lines of the canal merge and then separate again.

This is standard in every city along the canal.

Artificial lakes not only provide water for boats to dock, but also regulate water levels and supply water to cities.

"This is Sanyang City, which, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is a mining city." Hulu said as he walked inside the cabin.

Because it's almost time for dinner.

About 600 new immigrants have to disembark here.

The population of the entire city of Shanyang is small, only about 135,000, and most of the employees of the mining group.

The area with a radius of 50~80 kilometers is the jurisdiction of Sanyang City, which can also be said to be a mining area.

As for the local mineral resources, there are three main ones, namely a surface bauxite, two magnetite at depths of 1,200 meters and 3,460 meters, and a phosphate mine at a depth of 1,500 meters.

Iron ore and bauxite are okay, and the local production capacity of Homo sapiens is very sufficient.

However, phosphate ore is very important, because among the three core chemical fertilizers of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, nitrogen fertilizer can be directly refined through coal mines or atmospheric nitrogen; Potash can be refined in seawater.

However, the raw material of phosphate fertilizer requires specific phosphate ore.

Of the various areas controlled by Homo sapiens, only Egypt has large-scale onshore phosphate deposits, with shallow reserves of 2.8 billion tons, intermediate reserves of 7.6 billion tons, and deep reserves of 38.6 billion tons.

Although Homo sapiens imports phosphate to Morocco on a large scale, in order to keep prices down, Homo sapiens must maintain a certain production capacity.

At present, Egypt mines 170 million tons of phosphate ore every year, and imports 0.5~080 million tons from Morocco, which is almost half of the world's production capacity.

The reason why the production capacity is so large is also very simple, because the scale of agricultural production of Homo sapiens is very large, and the consumption of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium naturally rises.

However, phosphate mining in Egypt is likely to decline in the near future.

Because the jadeite mining industry has found a huge phosphate mine in the seabed near the Solomon Islands, it is estimated that the total reserves can reach about 173~20 billion tons, and the ore grade is very high.

There is a high probability that this deep phosphate mine in Shanyang City will be mothballed.

For a mining city, shutting down a mine is the loss of a pillar industry.

Fortunately, this is within Homo sapiens, and if it were elsewhere, it would not be so easy to shut down, after all, vested interests would not allow it.

Recently, Sanyang City is strengthening bauxite mining and deep processing of bauxite, and the other is to open a coral cement factory and upgrade the industry to a heavy industry city.

However, the strategic adjustment of this kind of city has little to do with the new immigrants like Hulu.

He came to the second restaurant area of the cruise ship.

Quite a few people are already eating.

The food supply on board is okay, except for the lack of supply points in the northwest Ceylon Ocean, there are supply ports in other seas, and the speed of nuclear-powered ships is relatively fast, they can eat fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk.

Hu Lu directly took the employee card and received a C package.

and Severed Finger and the others casually found a table and sat down.

When he opened the stainless steel lunch box, there were two dishes, two meats and staple rice, and he took a bottle of oolong tea directly from the vending machine.

The meals on the migrant cruise ships are free, as long as they are not wasted, they can eat and drink as much as they want, but the vast majority of immigrants are more conscious, and there is no situation of eating and taking.

This situation can only be on the side of Homo sapiens.

If it were allowed to eat and drink for free elsewhere, many people would surely be insatiable and not only eat and drink, but also take it back.

This is mainly due to the fact that the internal management of Homo sapiens is very strict, and at the same time, there is no need for that.

What's the use of taking back a bottle of drink for a few cents? Take it for sale? You must know that within Homo sapiens, it is a felony to sell things to other employees in private.

Once discovered, the first direct punishment is caning and a fine of 500 gold yuan; The second time he was exiled directly to a pioneer site in extremely harsh conditions, deprived of many benefits, without pay, and required five years of labor before he could return to his normal status as an employee.

At the beginning of the training base, Hu Lu and others were repeatedly ordered by the instructor to abide by the company's regulations.

Now it's time to enjoy a good life, who will destroy their future, no one is a fool.
