Homo sapiens.

Chapter 76 Change ([-])

There have been obvious changes in the control areas of Homo sapiens companies such as Limanan and Dart Harbor.

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

For example, Negros Island, which is across the sea from Panay Island, although this island is the territory of the 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, and these big families can only control some cities and towns, and the rest are controlled by many medium-sized and small families.

For example, the town of Basset on Negros Island.

The Bashers are the toubob here.

As an island region, there is an obvious feature, that is, towns are usually located in coastal areas, and the town of Basel 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, we went to the restaurant to eat and chat."

Nord did not refuse: "Okay! But wait for me to tell the crew."

"No problem." Master Basel didn't dare to put on airs.

Soon under the arrangement of Nord, the gas pipeline on the ship was quickly connected to the gas transmission valve at the port. This methane carrier converted from a 5000-ton bulk carrier transported 4000 tons of methane, which is about 200 million cubic meters. .

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

In addition, the Basel family also opened a food wholesale market in the local area, and the partners are Haitian Agriculture and Harvest House.

But this kind of cooperation is not unconditional. The Basel family must listen to the Lopez family.

In fact, the various families in Luzon can be understood as princes. After the Basel family was trained as a comprador, they lost their diplomatic rights and had to maintain the same position as the Lopez family.

Don't think that the Basel family is unaware of the problem, but they understand a truth, that is, what is gained must be lost.

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 vigilant.

But they cannot stop the trend of the times.

Once the surrounding areas join the Homo sapiens system, those areas that have not joined will have a clear sense of gap.

It may not be obvious at the beginning, but as time goes by, this gap will become bigger and bigger.

Moreover, the security department of Homo sapiens company, its external intelligence force is not good men and women. For those who are hostile to Homo sapiens company, they will use various methods to pursue them until they die or withdraw.

In this way, 42% of the entire Negros Island has been controlled by the Lopez family. Even if the Xu-A family alliance has reacted, there is still no way to withstand the attack of the Lopez family.

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 Basse family is one of them.

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

The methane gas is rushed through the pipelines and pressed into storage tanks at gas stations controlled by the Basel family.

Seeing that Nord had ordered the crew, Master Basel hurriedly asked in a low voice:
"Brother Nord, this month's 10 square meters are selling a bit fast, can you have a 10-square-meter gas storage tank for the upper town of Basel?"

"This..." Nord looked embarrassed.

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

Nord touched the thickness of the envelope, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Haha, since it is the request of the residents of the whole 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 be drunk today." Master Basel smiled.

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

"That's such a pity."

"Next time definitely."

The two of them came to the biomass compression factory in Basel town, which is also one of the industries of the Basel family, specializing in the production of biomass powder blocks.

In fact, it is dried dead branches and rotten leaves, crushed and compressed into cubes of one cubic meter each. These biomass cubes will be transported back to the methane plant in Panay Island.

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

Even if Emerald Energy joins other subsidiaries to transform some of the transport ships so that they can burn methane to reduce the dependence on foreign fuel.

However, due to the large-scale gas turbine technology of Homo sapiens, it has not been conquered. Now only a small number of ships under [-] tons are equipped with self-produced gas turbines. Ships over [-] tons can only use gas-assisted combustion, which cannot completely replace heavy oil.

Therefore, during the operation of the ship, economic benefits must be considered.

For example, a ship transporting methane, after transporting the gas to the destination, if it is in an empty state during the return voyage, then its fuel consumption is definitely not economical, but the ship must return.

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

After a series of technical and program verifications, it was finally chosen to increase the task of transporting raw materials during the invalid shipping of the return voyage.

For example, the Nord ship, after the unloading of the methane transported, will load biomass cubes at the port along the return voyage to reduce the time for the empty ship to return to the voyage.

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

The air storage tanks of this Nord transport ship are set in the middle and bottom of the ship, and the side decks are reserved for loading and unloading areas for small containers.

In this way, the transportation cost of each subsidiary that needs to be shipped by sea has been greatly reduced.

In addition to supplying biomass blocks, Basel Town also provides wood, rice, and tobacco.

Traffic is always an embarrassing problem for the archipelago.

Especially for those islands that are not too big or small, cost and passenger flow are big problems when building cross-sea bridges and airports. Usually, they can only rely on ship shipping.

For these small islands, the Homo sapiens companies that have formed a tight system are rapidly covering these islands with the influence of shipping logistics, gas, food, and raw material procurement.

Big families can only hide and defend on large islands.

But there is not much time left for them, the invisible giant net is being tightened little by little until they are completely hanged.

When Nord left the town of Basel.

One of the capitals of Negros Island, Bacolod City.

The Xu family is also holding internal meetings 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 solid. Although relying on the relationship of family marriage, the marriage is not a real family after all.

Now facing the aggressive Lopez family, the Xu family has 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 also become more and more powerful.
