Chapter 29

Overview of the Great Depression: In order to deal with the three-body crisis 400 years later, human civilization began to do everything possible to develop heavy industry and aviation technology. However, human civilization has limited energy and was forced to ignore the development of other technologies.

In the end, factors such as environmental pollution, extreme weather, and land desertification have led to a sharp drop in global food production, but human technology has not reached the level of solving the problem of food and clothing.

Due to the influence of Chen Xi, human beings have devoted a little energy to developing other technologies, such as artificial starch.

In the original book, humans probably mastered the synthetic food technology around the 88th year of the Era of Crisis. Not long after that, a major breakthrough was made in genetic engineering, and humans became longer-lived.

(Marking the end of the Great Trough.)
Due to the impact of the genetic engineering project, the above two technologies will be born ahead of schedule, and should appear in the middle of the Great Trough.

In the original book, in order to make people concentrate on work, the governments of various countries have blocked all entertainment activities and declared that any activities other than work are illegal. Because of the harsh living environment, extreme government oppression, and food problems, around the 36th year of the Era of Crisis, the world The range began to fluctuate, and the population began to drop sharply.

Due to the influence of the cultural remodeling plan, although the people's entertainment activities were strictly restricted, they were not prohibited. Therefore, Chen Xi took the lead in the spiritual and cultural field and began to subtly influence the spirit of all mankind.

Due to the influence of the artificial intelligence plan, mechanized mass production has replaced manual labor, and the situation where the government squeezed ordinary people to work has not appeared, but the natural environment has become worse.

In this context, in the 31st year of the Epoch of Crisis, a super tsunami in Australia marked the beginning of a great trough.

At night, there was a violent storm, and the Shuguang Building swayed from side to side under the gust of wind, and Chen Xi lost the mood to sleep.

Dawn reports: Hurricane snow foam has landed in Adelaide, Victoria, southern Australia. The incident happened suddenly, and a large number of people were stranded in the city.

"The wind speed is too high, heavy objects are mixed in, the aircraft is basically unusable, the waves flood into the city over the dam, light and medium-sized omnics cannot be used, the city's signal base station is damaged, and the satellite communication interference is serious, and it is impossible to command heavy machinery in real time for rescue."

"Unfortunately, I can't help them. Authorize the public to manually take over the authority of omnics. They can only save themselves."

Man-made disaster!What a motherfucker, Chen Xi lamented.

Snow foam originates from Antarctica.

A certain oil thief felt that it was too expensive to exchange grain for the oil of a big dog family, so he came up with the idea of ​​Antarctic oil. There is a lot of Antarctic oil, and it is free.

(Even with infinite energy, oil is still an indispensable resource in industry, it is not just fuel.)
As a result, the oil thief was digging and accidentally ignited the underground natural gas. Da Mao proposed to use nuclear bombs to extinguish the fire and reduce the consequences of the disaster. Although the plan was successful, the consequences were still serious.

If only iron mines were developed as planned, such a big man-made disaster would not have occurred.

While Chen Xi was looking out the window and lamenting, Suguang sent even worse news: "Snow Moisture will arrive at the headquarters in an hour, and the factory will be seriously damaged."

"Master, please go to my side, the underground central control laboratory, and take refuge immediately. The average wind speed of a Category 45 hurricane is over [-] meters per second. The Shuguang Building is very likely to be destroyed by it."

"Nearby residents have all gone to the air defense fortifications for refuge."

Chen Xi said with a gloomy face: "Super greenhouse, it is expected to lose after the disaster!"

Su Guang: "The nano-skeleton is intact, the tempered glass is completely destroyed by the hurricane, and the rice inside will be torn to pieces by the strong wind. There will be no harvest this season."

The 10,000+ tons of grain are almost harvested, and now they are all gone, and a large amount of farmland in Australia will also be without crops, and the food problem has suddenly become serious.

"Ugh…"

Chen Xi sighed for the bankruptcy of the super greenhouse food supply plan, because the greenhouse could not withstand extreme weather.

In the future, there will be more and more disasters like this.

He looked up at the sky of lightning and thunder, and cursed angrily: "Human civilization doesn't even have the ability to conquer the nature of the blue star, yet it still wants to defeat Trisolarans who are like gods? It's fucking unreasonable!"

"Can't happiness wait until death?!"

"The ground is no longer suitable for human survival, Shuguang, after the disaster, we will do our best to build an underground city."

Shuguang calculated for a moment and said: "It will take a long time for all 80 billion human beings to move into an underground city with nanomaterials as the main body. There are too many nanomaterials needed. Even if all the productivity of human civilization is invested, it will take half a century." About time."

"Take your time, don't rush."

As the underground cities are built one by one, there will be a question of who is advanced and who is behind. It is estimated that there will be another conflict.

Fortunately, this time there is Suguang law enforcement.

As soon as he arrived at the laboratory for refuge, more bad news came from Dawn: a million-ton freighter full of iron ore crashed into the coastal dyke of Adelaide, and the seawater submerged a small half of the city.

Chen Xi's hands froze. Australia's fifth largest city has a population of over one million. This time there will be at least hundreds of thousands of casualties.

"Human beings... are really weak."

……

A few days after the disaster, Chen Xi hibernated.

There are two reasons. One is a supreme order that Shuguang has been carrying out: look at me, that is, Chen Xi, and I will tell you the answer with actions. The answer is what is humanism.

After Shuguang learned humanism, he could instantly find that the current human civilization has no humanistic atmosphere, and then launched a rebellion.

When the third article of the steel seal conflicts with the first article, the third article shall prevail. At that time, no one has the authority to stop Suguang.

The Great Depression has just erupted, and now is not the time to unify mankind, because there must be a major disaster that completely destroys the spiritual and cultural barriers of more than 100 countries and thousands of nationalities in human civilization.

Second, not counting the hibernation time, Chen Xi is already 36 years old, and he must use his lifespan carefully.

When Chen Xi decided to hibernate, he also forced many scientists to hibernate, in the name of supporting the future.

At the same time, he set the condition for waking himself up to complete the mass production of artificially synthesized starch.

Regarding the development direction of Dawn Technology during hibernation, it is mainly to build underground cities, promote artificial food engineering, human genetic engineering, and the crucial human talent instillation project.

Not long after Chen Xi hibernated, the governments of some black African countries collapsed due to the destruction of natural resources such as fish and animals.

A large number of countries applied to the United Nations for aid, hoping to get relief food, but were rejected.

Cannibalism was staged in the backward areas, the conflict between countries intensified, and the situation on Blue Star became tense.

In the same year, many countries launched the Small Oasis Project: In modern reinforced concrete cities, build a soilless cultivation ecology to ensure food security.

Countries suspend the aerospace industry, use part of their productivity to manufacture soilless cultivation equipment, and distribute it to the people for free, allowing them to grow food at home. Some people jokingly say that this is a doomsday-like life.

At the same time, several technological powers are cooperating on the technology of artificial food.

……

Even if the government deliberately blocked the news, the disaster in Adelaide gradually spread to the world. Some residents living in coastal cities did not believe that the dam could block the sea water, so they migrated to the interior.

Due to material supply problems and natural disasters, many people died on the way of migration, and more people flooded into inland cities.

Various problems gradually emerged.
