Chapter 585: Continuous Innovation
Li Qingye's synchronous robot took the elevator from Dammam Port Station in Sumatra and descended to the ground station.
And this ground station, at this time, is also connected to two air-rail lines and a subway, one of which is an air-rail, which can go directly to Xingdao.
Using a special temporary pass, Li Qingye and a few security personnel took the air-rail train, a distance of more than 160 kilometers, and arrived at the destination - Xingdao South Station in less than 40 minutes.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Sing Tao South Station, he could see most of Sing Tao Harbor.
However, at this time, there are many fewer ships docked at Xingdao Port than before, most of the ships are Homo sapiens, and the rest are a few oil tyrants in West Asia.
Of course, there are not many ships in Sing Tao Port, and there is another important reason, that is, Homo sapiens has a very large number of transport airships, and the recent opening of the stratospheric railway has successively sucked away the market share of maritime transportation.
After all, the average flight speed of the transport airship can reach 200~400 kilometers per hour, and the stratospheric railway is even more terrifying, and the speed of the cargo transport train can reach 1200~2400 kilometers per hour.
In addition, the transport airship can transport up to 15,000 tons, and the maximum load train can reach 15,000 tons.
In this way, the advantage of low cost of shipping cannot withstand the efficiency blow brought by speed.
After all, the maximum speed of a large nuclear-powered carrier is only 55 kilometers per hour.
At the same distance, the transport ship has made one trip, the transport airship has transported 6~7 times, and the stratospheric railway has transported about 40 times.
The gap is just too big.
If it weren't for the transport ship and the transport advantages of super-large parts and cheap minerals, oil and gas, etc., it would have been eliminated by transport airships and railways long ago.
Now the market size of container ships is the most seriously lost.
This trend can be seen from the ships berthing and replenishing at Sing Tao Port, and those slow container ships are squeezed by transport airships, air-rail, and stratospheric railways to the point of being uncompetitive.
Li Qingye did not interfere with this kind of internal competition, after all, survival of the fittest is progress, since you are lagging behind, don't complain.
No matter how big the subsidiaries and industries are, as long as they are out of time, the management will definitely decompose and divert them, rather than keep the industry to rot.
This is one of the reasons why Homo sapiens is so strong.
A company is like a person, and Homo sapiens is also a person, but once Homo sapiens finds that its organs are aging or diseased, it will take the initiative to treat them, or simply replace them with a new one.
Only by doing so can we become stronger and stronger.
Anyone who tries to block this process will be completely crushed by the company.
Li Qingye has continuously adjusted the industrial chain and system procedures of Homo sapiens according to new technologies again and again, in order to adapt the productivity and operating system.
When he came to Sing Dao, he did not inform the management of the local branch, but came quietly.
After all, he is now in a synchronous robot state, there is no possibility of being harmed, and there is no need to eat and drink, etc., and the accommodation is very simple, as long as the robot is placed in the hotel.
Synchronous robots all use nuclear batteries, and they don't even need to be charged.
He came out of Sing Tao Minami.
Swiped your card directly at the rental station and rented a ruby.
Although Li Qingye has a driver's license, he hasn't driven for more than 9 years, after all, he usually has an exclusive driver to drive, and for safety reasons, he must rarely drive.
】
He found at the rental car station that the penetration rate of liquid-filled electric vehicles is very high, and it has now reached 66%.
Driving a car, in fact, the car's automatic driving assistance system is very powerful, and there is no need to worry about car accidents and the like.
Sing Tao is very prosperous, and the whole city has gradually developed into a high-legged city model after the second transformation.
Stilt City is not only for tropical rainforests, but also for coastal cities, which have to watch out for tsunamis.
Although Homo sapiens can predict earthquakes and even induce them, there is no way to stop the eruption.
As a result, coastal cities must be able to withstand tsunamis, especially in the coastal areas of Central America, where the California earthquake caused heavy damage to the western Aztec coastal cities.
In the face of the threat of a tsunami, the construction of dikes and the like is obviously a thankless task.
After all, after the tsunami arrives at the coast, the water will become shallow, which will cause the tsunami to rise suddenly, and the waves can reach more than ten meters or even tens of meters in an instant.
The construction of a dam with a height of several tens of meters is naturally not difficult for the Homo sapiens company at this time, the problem is that the amount of work is too large, the cost performance is not high, and a lot of coastal flat land is wasted.
Since we don't use a hard resistance plan, then use a plan to temporarily avoid the edge, and the stilt city, which was previously popularized in the tropical rainforest area, stands out among the many solutions.
The main city of Sing Tao is composed of 11 large and small stilt cities, which are about 50 meters above the ground.
The ground has been transformed into either parks, botanical gardens, roads, overpasses, and so on.
Even when a tsunami comes, tsunami waves rarely exceed 50 meters, which ensures the safety of coastal cities.
As for the car rental stations where Li Qingye rented a car on the ground, these ground facilities were actually not managed by Upper Star Island City, but by Lower Star Island City.
The so-called Shimostar Island City is a city underground, and this kind of city will not be affected by the tsunami.
Once a tsunami warning is issued, people on the ground can quickly evacuate to Upper Star Island Castle or Lower Star Island Castle.
When it comes to responding to natural disasters, Homo sapiens has been sparing no effort to invest.
The Listening system, which has been promoting before, and the simulation of the earth, are now very perfect, and the prediction of large earthquakes will not have too big errors, and the error time can be reduced to less than a week.
Of course, this error is still a bit large, in order to reduce the error, the company and the Institute of Geology, developed a set of new technology - earthquake induction technology.
The so-called earthquake induction technology does not create an earthquake out of thin air, but uses the existing stress in the formation, and then finds its weak point, and blasts it through hydrogen bomb direction, and then allows the formation to release the stress.
In short, this technology is to make the formation that is about to erupt an earthquake detonate the earthquake in advance to achieve the purpose of accurate prediction.
In addition, this technology has another effect, that is, by detonating earthquakes in advance, it can effectively control the scale and destructive power of earthquakes.
After all, the prediction error is a week, and during this period of time, the area must only be closed for management, which is too troublesome, and it is better to blast directly and accurately.
Of course, it is very difficult to achieve accurate blasting, which is the fundamental reason why the company collects global stratigraphic data, and by establishing a simulated earth, it can find the weak points in the strata.
If you don't find a weak point, even if it's a hydrogen bomb of the Da Yin Wan level, there is no way to make the formation obediently earthquake in advance.
The yield of the clean hydrogen bomb used for directional blasting is usually 500~5000 tons, and the power of this level of hydrogen bomb is definitely not able to directly induce earthquakes, but can only attack the weak points of the formation.
As for whether earthquake weapons can be developed in the future, Li Qingye estimates that it is possible, but it is not cost-effective, and there is no need for that.
