Homo sapiens.

Chapter 584 Continuous Innovation
Li Qingye's synchronous robot took the elevator from Daman Port Station in Sumatra Island, and went down to the ground station.

And this ground station is also connected to two air-rail lines and a subway at this time, one of which can go directly to Xingdao.

Using a special temporary pass, Li Qingye and several security personnel took the air train, a distance of more than 160 kilometers, and arrived at the destination - Xingdao South Station in less than 10 minutes.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Xingdao South Station, he could have a panoramic view of most of Xingdao Port.

However, at this time, the number of ships calling at Xingdao Port was much less than before. Most of the ships belonged to Homo Sapiens, and the rest belonged to a few oil tyrants in West Asia.

Of course, there are not too many ships in Xingdao Port. There is another important reason, that is, Homo sapiens owns a lot of transport airships, and the recent opening of the Stratospheric Railway has gradually sucked away the market share of shipping.

After all, transport airships can fly at an average speed of 200-400 kilometers per hour, while stratospheric railways are even more terrifying. The speed of cargo transport trains can reach 1200-2400 kilometers per hour.

In addition, the transport airship can transport up to 1.5 tons, and the maximum load train can reach 1.5 tons.

As a result, the low-cost advantage of sea transportation cannot withstand the efficiency blow brought by speed.

After all, the maximum speed of a large nuclear-powered transport ship is only 55 kilometers per hour.

Under the same distance, transport ships have transported once, transport airships have transported 6-7 times, and stratospheric railways have transported about 40 times.

The gap is really too big.

If it weren't for the advantages of transport ships such as super-large parts and cheap minerals, oil and gas, they would have been eliminated by transport airships and railways long ago.

Now the market size of container ships is the most serious loss.

This trend can be seen from the supply ships moored at Xingdao Port. Those slow-moving container ships are squeezed out by transport airships, air trains, and stratospheric railways, making them uncompetitive.

Li Qingye did not interfere with this kind of internal competition. After all, survival of the fittest is progress. Since you are behind, don't blame others.

There is no such thing as a big tail in Homo sapiens company. No matter how big the subsidiary or industry is, as long as it is out of date, the management will definitely take action to dismantle and divert it, instead of leaving the industry to rot.

This is one of the reasons Homo sapiens is strong.

A company is like a person, and Homo sapiens company is also a person, but once Homo sapiens company finds that its organs are aging or diseased, it will take the initiative to treat them, or simply replace them with new organs.

Only by doing so can we become stronger and stronger.

Anyone who tries to stop this process will be completely crushed by the company.

Li Qingye constantly adjusts Homo sapiens company's industrial chain and system procedures based on new technologies, in order to adapt the productivity to the operating system.

When he came to Xingdao, he did not notify the management staff of the local branch, but came quietly.

After all, he is now in the state of a synchronous robot, there is no possibility of being harmed, and he does not need to eat or drink. The accommodation is also very simple, as long as the robot is placed in the hotel.

Synchronous robots use nuclear batteries and do not even need to be charged.

He came out from Xingdao South Station.

Swiped the card directly at the rental station and rented a Ruby.

Although Li Qingye has a driver's license, he hasn't driven a car for more than 9 years. After all, he usually has a dedicated driver. For safety reasons, he must rarely drive.

At the rental station, he found that the penetration rate of liquid-filled electric vehicles is very high, and it has reached 66%.

Driving a car, in fact, the auto-assisted driving system of this car is very powerful, and there is no need to worry about car accidents.

Xingdao is very prosperous. After the second transformation, the whole city is gradually developing into the model of a high-footed city.

The stilt city is not only suitable for tropical rain forests, but also for coastal cities, because coastal cities must beware of tsunamis.

Although Homo sapiens can predict earthquakes and even induce earthquakes, there is no way to prevent eruptions.

Therefore, coastal cities must have the ability to resist tsunami, especially in the coastal areas of Central America. The previous earthquake in California caused heavy losses to the coastal cities in the west of Aztec.

Facing the threat of a tsunami, it is obviously thankless to build dikes and the like.

After all, after the tsunami reaches the coast, the water will become shallower, which will cause the tsunami to rise suddenly, and the waves can reach tens of meters or even tens of meters in an instant.

Building a dam with a height of tens of meters is naturally not difficult for the Homo sapiens company at this time. The problem is that the project is too large, the cost performance is not high, and a lot of coastal flat land is wasted.

Since we don't adopt the plan of hard resistance, we should adopt the plan of temporarily avoiding the edge. The Gaojiao City, which was popular in the tropical rainforest area before, stands out among all the plans.

The main city of Xingdao is composed of 11 large and small stilt cities, which are about 50 meters above the ground.

The ground is either transformed into a park or a botanical garden, as well as roads and overpasses.

Even if a tsunami comes, the tsunami waves will rarely exceed 50 meters, which ensures the safety of coastal cities.

As for the rental station where Li Qingye rented cars on the ground, these ground facilities are actually not managed by the Upper Star Island City, but by the Lower Star Island City.

The so-called Xiaxingdao City is an underground city, 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 Xingdao City or Lower Xingdao City.

In response to natural disasters, Homo sapiens has always spared no effort in investing.

The Listening Truth system that has been promoted before, as well as the simulated earth, are now very complete. The prediction of large earthquakes will basically not cause too much error, and the error time can be reduced to within a week.

Of course, this kind of error is still a bit large. In order to reduce the error, Di Ting and the Institute of Geology have developed a new technology - earthquake induction technology.

The so-called earthquake induction technology is not to create earthquakes out of thin air, but to use the stress that already exists in the formation, and then find its weak point, and use hydrogen bombs to blast directionally, so that the formation can release the stress.

In short, this technology is to detonate the earthquake in advance in the formation that is about to erupt, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate prediction.

In addition, this technology has another function, that is, by detonating the earthquake in advance, the scale and destructive power of the earthquake can be effectively controlled.

After all, there is a one-week error in the forecast. During this period of time, the area must be closed and managed. This is too much trouble, and it is better to blast it directly and accurately.

Of course, it is very difficult to achieve precise blasting. This is also the fundamental reason why Di Ting Company collects global stratum data. By establishing a simulated earth, we can find weak points in the stratum.

If no weak point is found, even a big Ivan-level hydrogen bomb will not be able to obediently make the stratum quake in advance.

The clean hydrogen bombs used by Di Ting Company for directional blasting usually have an equivalent of 500 to 5000 tons. The power of hydrogen bombs of this level must not be able to directly induce earthquakes, and can only attack weak points in the formation.

As for whether earthquake weapons can be developed in the future, Li Qingye reckons it is possible, but the cost performance is not high, and there is no need for that.
