Li Qingye's synchronized robot took an elevator from the Daman Port Station in Sumatra Island and descended to the ground station.
This ground station is also connected to two air rail lines and a subway. One of the air rail lines can go directly to Xingdao.
Using a special temporary pass, Li Qingye and several security personnel took the air-rail train, covering a distance of more than 160 kilometers and arriving at their destination - Xingdao South Station in less than 40 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, the number of ships docked at Xingdao Port at this time was much less than before. Most of the ships were owned by the Homo sapiens company, and the rest belonged to a few oil tycoons in West Asia.
Of course, there are not many ships in Xingdao Port, and there is another important reason, that is, the Homo sapiens company has a lot of transport airships, and the recent opening of the Stratospheric Railway has gradually sucked away the market share of maritime transportation.
After all, transport airships can fly at an average speed of 200 to 400 kilometers per hour, and the stratospheric railway is even more terrifying. The speed of cargo transport trains can reach 1,200 to 2,400 kilometers per hour.
In addition, the transport airship can transport up to 15,000 tons, and the load-carrying train can also transport up to 15,000 tons.
As a result, the low-cost advantage of sea transportation cannot withstand the impact of efficiency 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, the transport ship has transported once, the transport airship has transported 6 to 7 times, and the stratospheric railway has transported about 40 times.
The difference is really too big.
If it were not for the transport advantages of transport ships such as oversized parts and cheap minerals, oil and gas, they would have been eliminated by transport airships and railways long ago.
The container ship market is currently suffering the most serious losses.
This trend can be seen from the supply ships docked at Xingdao Port. Those slow container ships are squeezed out by transport airships, sky trains, and stratospheric railways, making them uncompetitive.
Li Qingye did not interfere with this internal competition. After all, survival of the fittest is progress. Since you are falling behind, don't blame others.
There is no situation in Homo sapiens that is too big to be eliminated. No matter how large a subsidiary or industry is, as long as it is out of time, the management will definitely break it down and divert it, rather than leaving the industry to rot.
This is one of the reasons why Homo sapiens is so powerful.
A company is like a person, and a Homo sapiens company is also a person. However, once the Homo sapiens company discovers that its organs are aging or diseased, it will take the initiative to treat them, or simply replace them with new ones.
Only by doing this can you become stronger and stronger.
Anyone who tries to block 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 productivity to the operating system.
When he came to Xingdao, he did not notify the management of the local branch, but came quietly.
After all, he is now in the state of a synchronized robot. There is no possibility of harm, and he does not need to eat or drink. Accommodation is also very simple, as long as the robot is placed in the hotel.
Synchronous robots all use nuclear batteries and do not even need to be recharged.
He came out from Sing Tao South Station.
I swiped my card directly at the rental station and rented a Ruby.
Although Li Qingye has a driver's license, he has not driven for more than nine years. After all, he usually has a dedicated driver to drive. For safety reasons, he rarely drives.
He found at the rental station that the penetration rate of liquid-filled electric vehicles is very high, currently reaching 66%.
When driving a car, the automatic assisted driving system of this car is actually very powerful, so you don’t need to worry about car accidents at all.
Xingdao is very prosperous. After the second transformation, the entire city gradually developed into the model of a city on stilts.
The stilt city is not only suitable for tropical rainforests, but also for coastal cities, because coastal cities must beware of tsunamis.
Although the Homo sapiens company can predict earthquakes and even induce earthquakes, it has no way to prevent outbreaks.
Therefore, coastal cities must have the ability to withstand tsunamis, especially in the coastal areas of Central America. The previous earthquake in California caused heavy losses to the coastal cities in the western Aztecs.
Facing the threat of tsunami, building dams and the like is obviously a thankless task.
After all, after a tsunami reaches the coast, the water will become shallower, causing the tsunami to rise suddenly. The waves can reach more than ten meters or even tens of meters in an instant.
Building a dike with a height of 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 adopt a hard-resistance plan, we should adopt a temporary avoidance plan. The stilt city that was previously popular in tropical rainforest areas stands out among all the plans.
The main urban area of Xingdao is composed of 11 large and small stilt cities. These stilt cities are about 50 meters above the ground.
The ground has either been transformed into a park or a botanical garden, as well as roads and overpasses.
Even if a tsunami comes, the tsunami waves rarely exceed 50 meters, which ensures the safety of coastal cities.
As for the rental stations where Li Qingye rents cars on the ground, these ground facilities are actually not managed by Upper Star Island City, but by Lower Star Island City.
The so-called Xiaxingdao City is an underground city. This kind of city will not be affected by tsunamis.
Once a tsunami warning is issued, people on the ground can quickly evacuate to Upper Xingdao City or Lower Xingdao City.
Homo sapiens has been sparing no effort in responding to natural disasters.
The listening system and simulated earth that have been promoted before are now very complete. There will basically be no big errors in the prediction of large earthquakes, and the error time can be reduced to less than a week.
Of course, this error is still somewhat large. In order to reduce the error, Diting Company and the Institute of Geology developed a new technology - earthquake induction technology.
The so-called earthquake induction technology does not create earthquakes out of thin air, but uses the stress that already exists in the formation, then finds its weak points and uses hydrogen bombs to directional blast, thereby allowing the formation to release the stress.
In short, this technology is to detonate the earthquake in advance in the formation where an earthquake is about to occur, so as 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 only one week. During this period, the area must be closed and managed. This is really troublesome. It is better to directly blast accurately.
Of course, it is very difficult to achieve accurate blasting. This is the fundamental reason why Titing Company collects global stratigraphic data. By establishing a simulated earth, it can find weak points in the strata.
If the weak point is not found, even a Big Ivan-level hydrogen bomb will not be able to cause the formation to tremble in advance obediently.
The clean hydrogen bombs used by Titing Company for directional blasting usually have a yield of 500 to 5,000 tons. A hydrogen bomb of this level is certainly not powerful enough 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 estimates that it is possible, but it is not cost-effective and there is no need.
