Homo sapiens

Limanan, Dart Harbor and other areas controlled by Homo sapiens companies have seen obvious changes.

The changes in other areas of Luzon are actually very big.

For example, Negros Island is across the sea from Panay Island. Although this island is the territory of Xu-A Family Alliance, it does not mean that the entire island belongs to them.

You must know that Negros Island has a land area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. These large families can only control some cities and towns. The rest is controlled by many medium-sized and small families.

For example, the town of Basai in Negros Island.

The Basset family is the local bully here.

As an island region, one obvious feature is that towns are usually located in coastal areas, and the town of Basset is no exception.

Master Basel held a fan and personally received Captain Nord of Emerald Energy at the port.

"Brother Nord, long time no see. Let's go to the restaurant to eat and chat."

Nord did not refuse: "Okay! But wait until I give instructions to the crew."

"No problem." Mr. Basel didn't dare to have any airs.

Soon, under Nord's arrangement, the gas pipeline on the ship was quickly connected to the gas transmission valve in the port. This methane carrier converted from a 5,000-ton bulk carrier transported 4,000 tons of methane, which is about 2 million cubic meters. .

The Basset family contracted the sales of methane gas in Basset Town and surrounding areas, and the two parties cooperated to monopolize the gas industry in Basset Town.

In addition, the Basset family also opened a local food wholesale market, and its partners were Haitian Agriculture and Fenghuang Home.

However, this cooperation is not unconditional. The Barcelona family must listen to the Lopez family.

In fact, the various families in Luzon can be understood as princes. After the Basset family was trained to become compradors, they lost their diplomatic rights and must maintain the same position as the Lopez family.

Don't think that the Basel family is not aware of the problems, but they understand one truth, that is, there are gains and losses.

After contracting local gas, food, and building materials, their family's income from plantations and land rent became irrelevant.

However, not all families are willing to cooperate, and some families are very resistant and wary.

But they cannot stop the trend of the times.

Once the surrounding areas join the Homo sapiens company system, there will be an obvious sense of gap in those areas that have not joined.

It may not be noticeable initially, but as time goes by, this gap will become larger and larger.

Moreover, the security department of Homo Sapien Company is not a trustworthy external intelligence force. For those who are hostile to Homo Sapien Company, they will use various means to pursue and attack them until the other party dies or withdraws.

In this way, 42% of the entire Negros Island is controlled by the Lopez family. Even if the Xu-A family alliance has reacted, it still cannot withstand the Lopez family's attack.

In the face of interests, even brothers can be betrayed, let alone a loose alliance of the same family.

Many small families that were previously attached to the Xu-A Family Alliance changed their banners very wisely.

The Basset family is one of them.

This is one of the reasons why Mr. Basel is very flattering to Nord. After all, Emerald Energy represents the Lopez family and is also the way for his family to make a fortune.

The methane gas quickly passes through the pipeline and is forced into the gas storage tank of the gas station controlled by the Basset family.

Seeing that Nord had ordered the crew, Master Basel quickly asked in a low voice:

"Brother Nord, the 100,000 cubic meters sold out this month is a bit fast. Can you get another 10 cubic meters gas storage tank in Basai Town?"

"This..." Nord looked like I was in a dilemma.

Master Basel quickly stuffed an envelope: "This is a collective request letter from the residents of the entire town."

Nord touched the thickness of the envelope, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Haha, since it is a request from the residents of the town, I will definitely explain the situation to the company and make arrangements for Basel Town as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much, Brother Nord, we won't go home until we're drunk today." Master Basel smiled happily.

But Nord shook his head: "No, I have to go to Bayavan in the afternoon to send the remaining gas there. I can't drink."

"That's such a shame."

"Definitely next time."

The two of them came to the biomass compression plant in Basset Town as a courtesy. This is also one of the Basset family's industries, specializing in the production of biomass powder blocks.

It is actually sun-dried dead branches and leaves, crushed and compressed into one cubic meter cubes. These biomass cubes will be transported back to the methane plant on Panay Island.

The reason for this is not that there is no such thing as wood and hay in Panay Island, but to save fuel.

Even Emerald Energy has joined forces with other subsidiaries to modify some transport ships so that they can burn methane to reduce dependence on external fuel.

However, because the large-scale gas turbine technology of Homo sapiens has not been conquered, only a small number of ships below 1,000 tons are equipped with self-produced gas turbines. Ships above 1,000 tons can only use gas-assisted combustion, which cannot completely replace heavy oil.

Therefore, economic benefits must be considered during ship operation.

For example, if a ship transporting methane is empty during the return journey after transporting the gas to the destination, its fuel consumption will definitely not be economical, but the ship must return.

Therefore, how to utilize this ineffective shipping has become an important issue.

After a series of technical and program verifications, we finally chose to add the task of transporting raw materials to the ineffective return shipping.

For example, after the ship Nord has unloaded the methane it transported, it will load biomass cubes at the ports along the way back to reduce the time it takes for the empty ship to return.

In this situation where different cargoes need to be loaded and unloaded, the adaptability of the vessel must be considered.

The gas storage tank of the NORD transport ship is set in the middle and bottom of the ship, and the decks on both sides are reserved for loading and unloading areas for small containers.

In this way, the transportation costs of various subsidiaries that require sea transportation have been greatly reduced.

In addition to supplying biomass cubes, Basset Town also provides wood, rice, and tobacco.

For the archipelago, transportation is always an embarrassing problem.

Especially for those islands that are not too big or too small, it is necessary to build cross-sea bridges and airports. Cost and passenger flow are big problems, and usually they can only rely on ship shipping.

For these small islands, the influence of the Homo sapiens company that has formed a close system is rapidly covering these islands along with maritime logistics, gas, food, and raw material procurement.

Large families can only huddle up and defend themselves on large islands.

But there is not much time left for them. The invisible giant net is tightening little by little until it completely strangles them.

When Nord left the town of Basel.

One of the capitals of Negros Island, Bacolod City.

The Hsu family is also holding an internal meeting to discuss the recent infiltration of the Lopez family in Negros Island.

As a family alliance, the relationship between the Xu family and the Aquino family is not strong. Although they rely on family marriage, the marriage is not a real family after all.

Now that the Xu family is facing the aggressive Lopez family, they have already felt that the situation is not good, but the Aquino family in Manila has also been suppressed recently.

This made some people in the family start to think about whether to continue to maintain the alliance.

And some members who advocate cooperation with the Fernando family and the Lopez family have become more and more powerful.
