Although Lucia is vast and sparsely populated, it is still a big price to pay because of its large area.

However, for the sake of safety, Caesar thought of a solution, which was to exchange indirectly.

Carmen stationed in Java? Lopez was a little surprised to see the cooperation conditions given by Lucia.

He smiled and said to Bose: "It is said that Maozi is thick and leafy, but now it seems that they will also be flexible!" ”

Under the agreement, the Gauls used all the islands in the Ceylon Ocean to pay for Lucia's earthquake prediction services for the next 30 years.

As for what py deals Lucia and the Gauls made, that's none of Homo sapiens' business.

Actually, this matter is also very easy to understand.

At this stage, the company's operating areas are all along the equatorial region and the southern hemisphere, and there are only two relatively isolated branches in the northern hemisphere - the Nemanya branch in the Balkans and the whale sea branch in the northwest of Dongying.

The core areas of the four major powers are all in the Northern Hemisphere, and it is clear that they will not let Homo sapiens continue to reach into the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

Lucia's islands in the Pacific Ocean or the Arctic Ocean are not suitable for sale to Homo sapiens, and they don't want to get too close to Homo sapiens at all.

After all, the attraction of Homo sapiens to human resources is like a black hole, too close to Homo sapiens, and it will be sucked dry in minutes.

The Europa Commonwealth side could only accept Lucia's exchange agreement.

The other side.

Americalika, who was devastated by the California earthquake, has no interest in interfering with the commercial cooperation between Homo sapiens and major forces at this time.

Because of the impact of the great earthquake in California, the entire West Coast of North America is now almost paralyzed.

Due to the fear of large aftershocks, the repair work has not been carried out, but has been waiting for the company's safety bulletin.

Generally speaking, the company's safety announcement is to ensure that there will be no earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher in the local area in the next 6 months, and the safety announcement will be issued.

Now it is obviously not appropriate, because after the Cascadia fault zone collapsed, the residual stress has not been released, and at the same time, the earthquake has also stimulated the instability of several surrounding fault zones, which will take at least half a month to determine whether it is safe or not.

Due to the earthquake, ports on the west coast of North America were shut down.

Now shipping from Northeast Asia and the Kangaroo country to North America can only take the canals of Central America.

Fortunately, there are now three canals in Central America.

Two months ago, the San Juan Canal, a single-line canal located in the volcanic state of lakes in Central America, is now able to accommodate 50,000-ton ships thanks to the natural channels of the lake and the San Juan River.

Many of the ships that were supposed to go to the canal countries of the Americas are now diverted to the canals of the lake and volcanic countries.

As for the new Granada Canal developed by Homo sapiens, although the canal can be navigated by a 300,000-ton giant ship, how can the ships of the free world go through the canal of giant enterprises, this is not free.

After seeing off Lucia's negotiating team, Carmen hosts another powerful negotiator in the parlor.

The two sides had an in-depth discussion on the cooperation agreement, and then signed a "win-win" cooperation agreement.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Carmen? Lopez smiled as he looked at the fading figure.

"In order to survive, human beings can sometimes have no bottom line."

Bose, who was pouring coffee on the side, joked: "It depends on whether the fist is hard or not, if the fist is not hard enough, there is no way to make the other party compromise without a bottom line, but the other party's attack without a bottom line." ”

"Yes! Mr. Chairman has long seen through everything. Carmen agrees with Li Qingye's series of preparations at the beginning.

If it weren't for those preparations, Homo sapiens would have been devoured alive by the major forces.

Carmen took a sip of coffee: "I'm going to Meroe tomorrow, you can make up your own mind." ”

“ok。” Bose nodded.

Now that the major forces have signed a cooperation agreement with Homo sapiens, the rest of the small shrimp does not need to be received by Carmen here, and can be handed over to Bose to deal with.

The next morning.

A supersonic Phoenix airliner took off from Java and flew non-stop to the Meroe region of Africa.

Airport in Atron Oasis City.

The Phoenix airliner landed steadily on the runway.

When you get out of the cabin, you will see a view of the endless greenery.

"What a change!"

When he came to Atron's Oasis City last year, there was only a small oasis here, and now it is full of green forests and grasslands as far as the eye can see.

Liu Zhifan, who was traveling with him, explained with a smile: "Because of the topography here, the precipitation has increased more than ten times. ”

"Terrain?" Carmen reacted.

The area where Atlas Oasis City is located is the Darfur Plateau at an altitude of 500~1000 meters above sea level, and on its east side, it is the Great Plains of northern Meroe.

This great plain was previously a semi-grassland and semi-desert area, especially in the past few years, overgrazing and reclamation have led to the complete desertification of many places.

It wasn't until the entry of Homo sapiens that the seawater canal was extended to this side, and it was transformed into rice paddies and plantations.

This desert steppe, which covers an area of about 400,000 square kilometers, has been turned into a marine agricultural area, except for the Nile Valley plain in the middle.

The sheer size of the water, combined with the region's perennially high temperatures, has led to a huge amount of evaporation.

These water vapours are blocked by the Darfur Plateau, forming precipitation on the eastern edge of the plateau.

The Atron Oasis is on the eastern edge of the Darfur Plateau.

Even if there is no seawater canal connected to this area, it still has a very considerable amount of precipitation.

Some drought-tolerant trees are planted around the city, and the area far from the city is a large area of artificial drought-tolerant grassland.

Due to the vegetation covering the surface and the fact that the water bodies have become much larger, the temperature has become warmer.

The temperature does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius during the day and does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius at night.

In the past, the tropical desert of the Sahara could easily exceed 40 degrees Celsius during the day, and in the middle of the night, the temperature suddenly plummeted to nearly zero degrees, and even snowed in some highland desert areas.

This is the meaning of the existence of vegetation and water bodies, which have a very good regulating effect on the ambient temperature.

Carmen and Liu Zhifan, next to the open-air station at the airport, did not feel too hot, which is also the reason why Atlas Oasis City has planted a large number of trees, which can better regulate the temperature of the city.

After a while, the shuttle car arranged by the airport sent the two of them to Li Qingye's villa.

In order to carry out the Pangu project, Li Qingye has recently lived in seclusion in Atlas Oasis City.

After continuous excavation, more than half of the Pangu project has been completed at this time, the outline of the underground base has been dug out, and some supporting facilities have also been completed.

The huge earthworks and rocks produced by the excavation of the underground base were used as raw materials for the construction of houses, dams and roads at the Meroe branch.

In addition to these excavated earthworks and rocks, Homo sapiens has long formed a set of internal plans, and there will be no random dumping and stacking.

After all, some of the underground bases are so large that if the excavated earthwork and rocks are piled up nearby, satellites in the sky can easily detect the problem.

Therefore, it is necessary to dispose of these wastes properly and discreetly.
