Homo sapiens

Chapter 555 Bloodletting

Before you know it, it’s March again when spring flowers are blooming.

However, this year there are no signs of spring blooming in the subtropical and temperate southern parts of the Northern Hemisphere.

The subtropical areas are barely doing better, with signs of ice and snow melting, but temperate areas are generally still freezing.

This situation has a huge impact on grain production. In areas where winter wheat could be grown in previous years, it is no longer possible to grow it, and only short-growing spring wheat can be grown.

Total food production in the free world is declining again.

Many places have launched retail quotas, restricting individuals and businesses from purchasing grain and food in large quantities.

On the other side, sea levels are still slowly falling and permanent ice sheets continue to develop.

In Maple Leaf Country and Northern Europe, ice sheets have covered their northern areas and are not expected to recede easily.

Of course, global cooling will also produce some favorable conditions for some areas, such as the Sanhai Plain, which is gradually emerging from the sea.

In order to cope with the increasingly cold winter, the major forces in the free world have also shown their magical powers.

Siam.

Ubon Ratchathani in the east.

The local branch of Homo sapiens Company is facing a little trouble at this time.

Brother Song, the head of the branch's human resources department, looked at the data on migrant workers last month with a trace of confusion on his face.

Because the number of migrant workers in February reached a record-breaking 2.75 million.

You know, this is recruited by one of the sub-branch of Siam Branch.

There are four such secondary branches within the Siam Branch, namely Chiang Mai Branch, Ubon Ratchathani Branch, Buriram Branch, and Kara Branch.

Except for the Kara branch, there is no channel for connecting migrant workers. The other three sub-branches all have land or sea channels. The monthly inflow of migrant workers in the three regions was around 200,000 to 300,000. .

However, in February, it increased tenfold, which shocked Brother Song. He quickly called the field business department to inquire about the relevant situation.

After more than ten minutes of communication, Brother Song finally figured out the cause and effect.

It turns out that Annam, Lancang, and Khmer have opened tourist visas, allowing "tourists" from other areas to enter freely. The inspections near Siam are almost in vain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people quickly came to the Siam branch to apply for jobs.

Chen Jianxiong, who was in Southeast Asia at this time, had actually known about this for a long time.

Inside the underground base of Star Island.

Yang Mengjiao, who was recently transferred to be responsible for business intelligence work in the entire Southeast Asia region, was discussing this matter with him.

"According to data from Siam Branch and Hongsawady Branch, the number of migrant workers in February reached 21.37 million, which is a new high!"

Chen Jianxiong put down the tablet in his hand and shook his head with a smile: "They obviously can't hold on anymore."

Although she has just taken over the business intelligence work here, Yang Mengjiao knows all parts of Asia well:

"Yes! Although they still have 160 million tons of grain reserves, the problem is that the production capacity of open-air agriculture is shrinking. They only produced 370 million tons of grain last year. If the production capacity of Central Asia, Annan and other places is added, that is Just 480 million tons.”

"Central Asia can only be barely self-sufficient in the future. On the contrary, Annam, Lancang, and Khmer have agricultural potential that can be tapped. After all, they are all tropical regions."

Yang Mengjiao looked at the holographic projection in front of her calmly: "I estimate that another 300-400 million people will be expelled, which will be the limit."

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions anyway, and if they don't want to join the company, we won't force it." Chen Jianxiong spread his hands, and then he mentioned another thing:

"Lucia's Ural nuclear fusion power station has passed the acceptance inspection. Seris plans to build 15 nuclear fusion power stations in the next five years. This is the specific location and information. Please pay attention."

Yang Mengjiao glanced at it and then nodded: "No problem."

Then she asked hesitantly: "They are rapidly advancing automation industry, nuclear fusion power generation, indoor agriculture and synthetic starch technology. Do we need to take some action?"

"It's not necessary. You should be aware of the company's technological development speed." Chen Jianxiong didn't pay too much attention.

His ideas were deeply influenced by Li Qingye, and he believed in technology flow. Technology can solve all problems. If it cannot solve the problem, it means that the technology is not enough.

In the current situation, the technological advantages of Homo sapiens are like snowballing, becoming more and more huge as time goes by.

The other party is engaged in the automation industry to reduce the demand for human resources in the industrial chain; it is engaged in nuclear fusion power generation in order to obtain sufficient energy; it is engaged in indoor agriculture and starch synthesis in order to get rid of the impact of natural disasters that reduce production.

The reason why independent travel visas for Annan, Lancang and Khmer were quickly implemented this time is very simple. This is to reduce stress.

The production capacity of 480 million tons of grain can only guarantee the high-quality food needs of a population of 600 million.

In order to cope with future extreme weather, another 200 to 300 million tons of grain must be stored. As a result, the overall agricultural production capacity will be obviously insufficient.

There is insufficient production capacity, there is no way to increase production capacity on a large scale in a short period of time, and the huge population is waiting for food, which leads to a contradiction.

In ancient times, this situation often had only one result, which was to kill each other and quickly reduce the population in this way.

For example, in the Little Glacier climate in the late Ming Dynasty, more than 80% of the population was wiped out, and the remaining population had enough food to survive.

But now, there is definitely no way to use the method of killing each other, so we can only think of other ways to solve this problem.

There happened to be a flood discharge area nearby, and they had no choice but to discharge floodwater into this flood discharge area.

Water resources are a good thing, but they are reluctant to release them like this. However, there are too many water resources, and the dams are about to be unable to block them. If they don’t release the floods now, when the dams break, they will have thousands of hectares of fertile land, luxury cars, and three wives. All concubines will be reduced to nothing.

The unrestricted free travel tourist visa is to open a hole in the dike facing the flood discharge area to release excess water.

With fewer people, more resources are available per person.

Although this is bloodletting to heal the wound, it will damage the root, but if we don’t let blood now, there may be a cerebral hemorrhage.

Do you choose to be seriously injured?

Or choose death from cerebral hemorrhage?

They had no choice. If there was no pressing pressure from the Homo sapiens company, maybe they could slowly adjust their bodies. Time waits for no one now.

After this massive bloodletting, they can hold on for a while longer.

Chen Jianxiong received a lot of inside information. For example, in order to retain talents in science and engineering, they offered free garages, exclusive food supplies, free children's education, and work package arrangements.

Now they only want elites and talents, and there is no need to win over other ordinary people.

After all, resources are limited, and it would be too difficult to achieve the level of benefits offered by Homo sapiens companies.

It is actually easier to provide high benefits to a small number of elites and talents.

Regarding this bloodletting, Homo Sapien Company does not recruit unconditionally, and those talents with problems will definitely be screened out.

As long as ordinary people have no criminal record and no special purpose, the Homo sapiens company will directly accept them, and then through rapid training, they can be reborn and become temporary employees in three months.
