Chapter 359 Sunda Ancient Land (Happy New Year)
The Java Sea between Borneo and Java Island.

Deep under the sea, a huge underground tunnel runs through the Java Sea, connecting Borneo with the island of Java.

Li Qingye is inspecting the construction of the submarine base here.

Wu Yebo, who is in charge of Java district management, introduced the whole project to him.

"Because the company took back the various subsea oil and gas fields that were sold before, we have now built eight large underground base cities in the Java Sea."

The holographic map in front of me is completely different from the map of Southeast Asia issued by ordinary publishing houses.

Thanks to the development of technology, Homo sapiens' internal definition of territory includes the controlled sea areas.

The Homo sapiens-controlled areas in Southeast Asia, including territorial waters and marine exclusive economic zones, are included in the territorial scope.

The Java Sea region at this time was part of the Java District.

Li Qingye stared at the enclosed Sunda Ancient Land, which is currently the shallow sea territory developed by Homo sapiens.

The so-called Sunda ancient land refers to the phenomenon of sea retreat during the last ice age because a large part of the global water resources was occupied by ice sheets.

The sea level at that time was 80-100 meters lower than it is now.

As a result, the ancient Sunda land was exposed to the sea and integrated with the Indochina Peninsula.

The entire Sunda ancient land includes the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island, the Straits of Malacca, Borneo, Java Island, the Java Sea, the surrounding waters of the Natuna Islands, and the surrounding waters of the Gulf of Siam (Lake Siam).

The total area is about 400 million square kilometers.

Now 95% of the ancient land of Sunda is in the control area of ​​Homo sapiens, so Homo sapiens companies use their technological advantages to secretly build cities hidden under the sea.

These cities are all built under rock formations with a thickness of several hundred meters, and with seawater nearly a hundred meters high, their defense is higher than some bases on land.

After all, today's missiles have no way to penetrate a rock layer with a thickness of several hundred meters after penetrating nearly a hundred meters of water.

The water body has a very strong slowing effect on the high-speed flying missile. Under normal circumstances, the ground-penetrating missile cannot penetrate the seabed rock formation, because the kinetic energy has been exhausted by the water body.

Of course, Li Qingye is very clear that once a war really starts, there is a high probability that it will be the rhythm of nuclear bombs.

However, sea water can also suppress the destructive power of nuclear bombs in nuclear strikes, especially those sea areas with a depth of more than 1000 meters, where nuclear explosions are difficult to strike.

Back then, America and Lao Maozi had done various underwater nuclear explosions. Even the Great Ivan, who claims to be able to move plates, could not destroy targets located below 3000 meters on the seabed.

Li Qingye has already felt the undercurrent of the world at this time, the rise of Homo sapiens will inevitably lead to heavy losses for other powers.

Although most of the behind-the-scenes bosses are greedy for life and afraid of death, there will always be some "mutants" in human beings sometimes.

In case someone can't stand the blow and plans to die with Homo sapiens, that is also possible.

Crazies are everywhere.

Therefore, in October last year, Li Qingye secretly convened the management and held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with the powers' panic.

After discussion, a total of five plans were formulated.

They are the Ice Region Project, the Guigong Project, the Ancient Land Project, the Abyss Project, and the Hades Project.

Project Ice was the former base in Antarctica.

The Guigong project is to build a lunar base and realize the permanent presence of humans on the moon.

The supporting facilities of this plan are currently building five aerospace bases, namely: Hongshawadi-Hugang Aerospace City, Luzon-Medan Aerospace City, Ceylon Aerospace City, Egypt-Kharij Aerospace City, and the eastern part of Mada Island Space City.

The undersea city in the Java Sea that Li Qingye is currently investigating is part of the ancient land plan.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Wu Yebo shook his head: "It's all for the company."

"Has the ladder city planning here been completed?"

"Part of it has been planned, but the number is relatively small. At present, only two suitable locations have been determined."

Li Qingye looked at the holographic map, and he immediately understood the difficulty of the Java area.

Although the Java District has the Java Sea with an area of ​​more than 80 square kilometers, the Java Sea is not suitable for the construction of a ladder city because the Java Sea is too shallow.

Ladder cities cannot be built on the continental shelf. This is for safety reasons. After all, powerful nuclear bombs are still quite lethal to shallow seas.

However, the deep sea area of ​​​​the Java area is in the Ceylon Ocean to the south, and the Java Island at the junction of the plates is also not conducive to the construction of underground bases.

Therefore, it can only develop towards the Makassar Strait in the direction of Sulawesi Island.

The ladder city in the deep sea area is the core of the ancient land plan, which is equivalent to a special safe house.

Once a war breaks out in the outside world, you can quickly take the subway to transfer from the undersea shelf city to a safer deep sea ladder city for refuge.

Therefore, in the undersea city of the ancient Sunda land, there must be a stepped city with sufficient temporary settlement of hundreds of millions of people around it.

Of course, Li Qingye's positioning for the ladder city is very clear, that is, a safe haven.

Ladder cities don't need too many houses and supporting facilities, because most of the people who enter here will be forced to sleep in life support bags to reduce the resource consumption of the base.

Therefore, the ladder city is designed very compactly. After all, people in a dormant state do not need to move, eat, bathe, etc., as long as they have an area of ​​a few square meters.

Each ladder city can accommodate at least 100 million people asylum, and can maintain them in the living bag for about 3 years.

The reason for three years is mainly because the dormancy of the vitamin capsule has side effects.

At present, it can only guarantee that there will be no side effects within three months. In about half a year, slight muscle degeneration and memory loss will appear.

Once more than two years, the muscles will further degenerate, and at the same time, 20-30% of the memory will be lost, and the sequelae of memory confusion will appear.

By the third year, the body will basically reach its limit, and if it is not awakened and recovered, it may be life-threatening.

Therefore, it is best to wake up within three months of forced sleep.

Li Qingye, who often hibernates, has a deep understanding of dormancy techniques.

This dormancy, in turn, is essential for survival and stability.

After all, once a war breaks out, various civilian facilities will also be affected. Those non-combatants can reduce resource consumption through dormancy, which is conducive to concentrating most of the resources in the military field.

After Li Qingye inspected this underground base city, he did not stop here, but took the subway to the eastern coast of Borneo.

The eastern coast of Borneo faces the island of Sulawesi across the Makassar Strait.

Throughout the Makassar Strait, more than a dozen ladder cities have been planned on the seabed, two of which have been built so far, and other ladder cities are under intensive construction.

But Li Qingye didn't come here to visit the ladder city, because he had inspected the ladder city at the bottom of the Sulu Sea in the Luzon Islands before.

This time he came to eastern Borneo mainly to inspect the No. 9 shipyard of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Group.

The shipyard was established in October last year and is mainly engaged in the manufacture and research and development of special ships.

The subway is not directly connected to the shipyard, so Li Qingye got off the bus in a surrounding city, and then took a minibus to the shipyard.

The shipyard is on one side of a mountain, part of the factory building is at the foot of the mountain, and the other part is inside the mountain.

As soon as he entered the shipyard, Li Qingye saw a familiar figure.
