Homo sapiens.

Chapter 554
Despite the arbitrariness of Homo sapiens, the free world chose to swallow their anger.

But that doesn't mean they're done with it.

In order to prevent the expansion of Homo sapiens' offshore scientific research platform, they also hastily mobilized ships, especially the old-fashioned offshore drilling platforms, and placed them next to Homo sapiens' offshore scientific research platform, and then started reclamation from the sea based on this.

The two sides are like playing Go, chasing and intercepting in the coastal waters of various places.

The Coral Construction Group, which is deliberately looking for work, also competes with the four major forces for production capacity and engineering strength on the shallow sea shelf.

Off the coast of New York, apart from a few waterways, several offshore platforms on both sides have already been built, and they are all close together. The distance between the two nearest platforms is less than 10 meters.

Anyway, it is the high seas, and anyone can deploy offshore platforms here.

On the huge platform deliberately named Outer New York Scientific Research Station, the area has expanded to 12.3 square kilometers at this time, like a huge fortress, blocking the gate of New York Harbor, making the City on the Hill council extremely aggrieved.

On the Outer New York Research Station.

Cortes, who just got off work, is cooking barbecue with a few colleagues next to a platform 100 meters above the sea.

Not far away, on the sea about 68 meters away, an offshore drilling platform is parked. This is an old equipment that is close to being eliminated.

The dozen or so American soldiers stationed above were also eating, but their side was too shabby.

After all, these drilling platforms were pulled over in a hurry, and some weapons were to be installed on them, which made the space on them obviously not enough.

A few U.S. soldiers stood on the temporarily remodeled observation deck, holding binoculars, observing the situation on the opposite side from time to time.

In February, off the coast of New York, the temperature was below zero without the blessing of the North Atlantic warm current.

The watchtower with air leaks everywhere couldn't block the cold wind at all. Several soldiers had to wear heavy coats and were shivering from the cold.

"Fack! Those bastards are eating barbecue."

"Here, drink one." An older bearded sergeant handed a tin can of rum to the lookout.

The lookout was a little hesitant: "Isn't it good to drink on duty?"

"What are you afraid of, don't take it too seriously." The bearded sergeant didn't care much: "Don't you know what's going on now? The gentlemen are holding the chick and having fun, let's blow the cold wind here."

"..." The young watchman was silent for a while, then took the tin can and took a sip of rum: "Huh...comfortable!"

"Come on, have some beef jerky." The bearded man handed over another pack of beef jerky.

The two drank and ate meat on the observation deck.

On the opposite platform, Cortez and others who were engaged in barbecue also put a large box of synthetic steaks that had just been airlifted on the large barbecue grill, and sprinkled them with black pepper and salt.

I cooked another big pot of creamy mushroom soup, char-grilled vegetables and so on.

The aroma of barbecue wafts with the sea breeze.

On the US military drilling platform not far away, the fragrance was also smelled.

"It smells so good! Homo sapiens is really rich!" Lookout took a bite of the dry beef jerky.

The bearded man leaned against the window, spreading his hands with a smile: "America has money too, but it's a pity that it's not ours. We can't use those coffee machines that cost tens of thousands of dollars each."

Suddenly the lookout looked around, and then whispered: "Kave, I heard that many people from Texas secretly ran to Aztec, isn't your hometown in Texas?"

"What? Do you have an idea?" The bearded man took the bottle and took a sip.

"Haha, brother, don't you have any ideas?" The lookout asked with a half-smile.

The bearded man didn't deny it, and took another sip of rum: "Many people who used to come from Central America have left one after another. I feel hopeless for America's future."

The lookout feels the same way. He has witnessed the rapid expansion of the Homo sapiens company's offshore platform in the past few days.

With America's nearly half-disabled industrial chain at this time, if it weren't for the supply of some products by the Europa Consortium and Serris, it would have collapsed by itself.

After all, there is too much water in the American economy.

After the crazy money printing, last year's GDP barely recovered to the scale of 25 trillion US dollars.

It's a pity that just look at America's GDP.

Even after passing the Industrial Revitalization Act, the plastic crisis, the military restructuring plan, and the climate response plan, the scale of industrial production in North America has been greatly increased, but the proportion of the local industry in America to GDP is only 18.3%. .

The core of America is still the tertiary industry, with the service industry accounting for 67.5%.

This is an extremely deformed economic structure.

The industrial scale is less than 60% of that of Serris, let alone comparable to Homo sapiens. After all, the industrial scale of Homo sapiens is about 24 times that of Serris and about 40 times that of America.

Adding up the entire free world, its industrial scale is still less than one-tenth of Homo sapiens.

Doesn't the City on a Hill council know the importance of industry?They know it all.

The problem is that America's internal affairs have been deeply rooted. Financial services, medical services, legal services, and accounting services in the tertiary industry are the core industries.

This kind of real food and clothing for millions of waterworkers.

America has more than 60 certified public accountants, more than 120 million registered lawyers, and a large number of financial practitioners, all of whom are middle class and small rich.

And these people are also the core components of the dogleg sub-group of the City on the Hill Council.

Even if the major families of the City on the Hill Council intend to revitalize the industry, they can only adjust slowly step by step.

The problem is that Homo sapiens and global cooling do not give time!

Those ordinary people are already extremely disappointed with the status quo in America.

Including ordinary soldiers of the U.S. military, they are essentially a group of mercenaries, and mercenaries can fight against the wind, but once they encounter headwinds, it is easy to expose their disunity.

The bearded man and the lookout have no idea of ​​fighting Homo sapiens for America and the free world.

Now the two are thinking in their hearts, how to retire early, and then go to Central America to join Homo sapiens.

Seeing that America is a wrecked ship that is already leaking, the shipowner is powerless, and the executives are slacking off. The middle management is not only trying to plug the loopholes, but is desperately digging and nailing the ship.

As an ordinary sailor, what do you think?
And now there happened to be a nuclear-powered spacecraft next door, and the owner of the other ship offered a very good recruitment condition for ordinary sailors.

Then there is no need to think about it?

Just jump ship.

Even swimming with a lifebuoy in hand is better than waiting to die on this rotten ship called America.

That's the idea now with Beard and Lookout.

It's only a few thousand dollars a month, what are you desperate for?

With Homo sapiens pressing harder and harder and pushing its full-power branch to the Aztec region, many people in America have already begun to move around.

Especially in the states bordering the Aztecs, there are not a few people who have left their cars and houses to work for Homo sapiens companies.

Unusual extreme weather, coupled with the genetically modified corn allergy incident at the end of last year, forced many people to run away.

The hearts of the people in the free world are scattered, and those millions of Tianlong people, plus their lackeys, can't stop ordinary people from changing their minds.

After all, it is really difficult for these guys to give up their wealth and superiority. The greed of human nature is destined to make them unable to spit out the meat they eat.
