Homo sapiens

Seeing that Nobuyoshi Takeda's expression was wrong, Thales quickly asked:
"Mr. Takeda, what happened?"

Takeda Xinyi's face was extremely ugly: "The Coral Submarine Cable has just been announced to build 19 large submarine optical cables."

"What?" Thales' face also changed dramatically.

The secretary at the side quickly turned on the Internet, and soon found the relevant announcement content on the official website of Coral Submarine Cable.

According to the information released by Coral Submarine Cable.

The laying of these 2024 submarine optical cables will be completed before the end of 19.

And these 19 submarine optical cables are:
Three lines in the Pacific Ocean: Medan Island-Panama Line, New Guinea Island-Peru Line, Luzon Island-Vladivostok Line.

Five lines in the Ceylon Ocean: Sumatra Island-Ceylon Island Line, Yangon-Ceylon Island Line, Ceylon Island-Madagascar Island Line, Ceylon Island-Persian Gulf Line, Ceylon Island-Red Sea-Egypt Line.

5 along the coast of Africa: Madagascar - Cape of Good Hope, Madagascar - Egypt, Cape of Good Hope - Gulf of Guinea, Gulf of Guinea - Strait of Gibraltar, Strait of Gibraltar - Suez Canal.

4 along the coast of South America: Panama-Peru, Peru-Argentina, Argentina-Brazil-Little Venice, Little Venice-Caribbean-Panama.

2 in the Atlantic Ocean: the Cape of Good Hope-Argentina line, the Gulf of Guinea-Brazil line.

This basically connects Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Northeast Asia, Africa and South America, as well as the vast Pacific island countries.

In fact, the outside world knows that Homo sapiens has many submarine optical cables operated by itself.

For example, in the islands across Southeast Asia, and between Ceylon and Southeast Asia, the quality of Homo sapiens' network communication is very high, which cannot be achieved by satellite communication alone.

It's just that Nobuyoshi Takeda, Thales, Henry Perrin and others never expected that Homo sapiens would move so quickly.

According to the announced route, the nodes and communication capacity of each submarine optical cable far exceed those of the submarine optical cables currently in operation.

Nobuyoshi Takeda, who can be the president of NEC, is naturally not a fool. He immediately saw Homo sapiens' ambition.

The other party intends to take advantage of Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, and NEC's failure to overcome the anti-fungal problem of deep-sea submarine optical cables, and quickly connect submarine optical cables to all parts of the world, thereby attacking America's Internet giants.

Europe, the United States and Homo sapiens are in the same situation. In the past, several European and American companies operating submarine optical cables have repeatedly targeted Homo sapiens' Internet subsidiaries and restricted their communication traffic.

Now Homo sapiens counterattacks.

Looking at the route map announced by the Coral Submarine Cable, everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

Now what can they do.

Is it calling on the countries along the way to resist Homo sapiens laying submarine optical cables?
Even Japan, which is allied with America, has no way to stop it when it sees that the coral submarine cable directly draws its route between the Tsushima Strait and the Ryukyu Islands.

Because according to the Ocean Convention, even if it is the exclusive economic zone of the ocean, the submarine optical cables of other countries must be allowed to pass through.

Moreover, in the compensation agreement signed by Dongying and Homo sapiens some time ago, it is stipulated that Homo sapiens can unconditionally lay submarine optical cables in Dongying's marine exclusive economic zone.

As for doing things secretly, such as sending submarines to blow up the submarine optical cables of Homo sapiens, no force would dare to mess around with such things.

After all, Homo sapiens is not Lucia and Deutschland.

If you don't want to take a dirt plane, it's best not to think about it.

Of course, not only Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, NEC and other submarine cable engineering giants are anxious.

Those submarine cable operating companies and Internet giants are probably like ants on a hot pot.

Takeda Xinyi did not doubt the plan announced by the coral submarine cable. Homo sapiens is notoriously fast in the field of engineering construction.

He said worriedly: "We must find a way to solve the problem of deep-sea submarine optical cables as soon as possible, otherwise even if Homo sapiens does not take action, we will not be able to support it for two or three years."

Henry Perrin nodded, and then suggested: "How about building a deep-diving engineering submarine? This is the only feasible solution at present."

"..." Thales frowned, but he was planning in his heart. After returning home, he quickly communicated with the Pentagon. It would be best to rent some of the old submarines that were sealed.

In fact, as long as they solve the buried construction problem of more than 1000 meters, they can achieve the purpose of prolonging the service life of submarine optical cables.

Because the seawater temperature at a depth of more than 1000 meters is already lower than the reproduction temperature of fungi in Tokyo.

But this does not mean that it is easy to solve, because the submarine construction at a depth of more than 200 meters is very dangerous.

It's just that they are desperate, and they don't want the company to go bankrupt, so they can only give it a go.

Tyco is better, at least the Pentagon will not allow their company to go bankrupt, and will definitely help.

Alcatel-Lucent also has the support of France. France's military submarine technology is not bad, and it is no problem to convert a few ships into engineering submarines.

The only one that is more difficult is Dongpu's NEC company. They are basically alone and helpless now.

Of course, even if the engineering submarine plan is used, it is estimated that it will take two or three years before a qualified engineering submarine can be used based on the procrastinating construction mode of these developed countries.

Now the three families can only pray to the chaebol behind them, hoping to get some assistance to overcome the current difficulties.

……

the other side.

After Coral Submarine Cable Company announced its new submarine cable plan.

In the areas along the route where the submarine optical cable passes, some courageous forces have secretly contacted the coral submarine cable, hoping to get a share of the pie.

And the small forces who are afraid of America and Homo sapiens also act as if they have not seen this announcement, and do not want to participate in the tit-for-tat confrontation between these two giants, so as not to be affected by Chiyu.

Can't afford to provoke, but can also hide.

Even the Far East and Tianzhu are holding their noses to cooperate with the coral submarine cable. If they don't cooperate, they won't be able to do so unless they are willing to wait for anti-fungal plastics to appear in the future. No one dares to guarantee such future things.

In addition, a large part of their submarine optical cable project was also contracted by Tyco, Alcatel-Lucent, and NEC. Now it is just a different contractor.

Among this series of chain reactions, the most tragic place is actually the Oceania region.

Because the submarine optical cables of Homo sapiens have bypassed Australia and New Zealand, and America is busy revitalizing the economy, and there is no time to update the submarine optical cables near Australia.

Therefore, Oceania now has a tendency to become an island.

In fact, this has a lot to do with the geographical environment of Oceania. Except for being relatively close to Southeast Asia, there are endless oceans in other directions. This geographical environment greatly limits the development of Australia.

Once America cannot support the strategic system in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia will bear the brunt.

After all, Australia is too far away from America, but it is relatively close to Southeast Asia, the base camp of Homo sapiens.

So now Australia is in a hurry, not only went to North America to cry, but hoped that America could support Australia more, and even began to seek the development of nuclear bombs.

It's just that the Pentagon is still hesitant.

In fact, it is not surprising that Australia is so panic-stricken. The main reason is that in the first quarter of this year, commodities in Australia continued to fall, while internal prices gradually increased.

If America does not support Australia, it is estimated that Australia will collapse on its own within a few years.
