The rise of nanometers

Two days later.

Lin Baijie, who returned from Australia, Jiang Hailin, who returned from Japan, and Lu Xuedong, who took time off from laboratory work, all came to Huang Xiuyuan's office.

After reading the relevant research from the Meteorological Institute, Jiang Hailin also showed a dignified expression.

He asked with some hesitation: "How accurate is this climate simulation model?"

"The accuracy is about 60 to 70%. This is the result of the joint operation of three exascale supercomputers. I refer to the possibility of global climate cooling." Lu Xuedong explained.

Lin Baijie turned around and asked: "Xiuyuan, if we stop extracting carbon dioxide, can we stop this process?"

Before Huang Xiuyuan could answer, Lu Xuedong gave the answer:

"It's impossible. Global cooling is a major trend. This is an inevitable trend in the small glacier climate. Even if the extraction of carbon dioxide is stopped now, the major trend of global cooling will be delayed by 5 to 10 years at most."

"In other words, the factor that causes us to extract carbon dioxide is at best the last straw." Jiang Hailin asked.

Huang Xiuyuan nodded: "Blue Star's climate is not static, but is in a dynamic balance. The last peak of the Little Glacier climate was from 1600 to 1650."

Lu Xuedong, with a serious expression, continued: "If we follow the deduction results of the Science Blue Star Office, the period from 2020 to 2100 is very likely to be the peak of a new round of small glacier climate."

A three-dimensional projected blue star appears in the office.

This is an experimental product of the Scientific Research Department. It can perform holographic projection perfectly, but the cost is a bit more impressive. A holographic projector costs about 37.5 million yuan.

Huang Xiuyuan zoomed in on Blue Star and then inserted it into the climate simulation model. From the climate simulation process, everyone saw various natural disasters.

For example, the drought situation in North China, Northwest China, and Northeast China will further intensify, and the temperature will drop by 3 to 8 degrees Celsius compared with the same period in history.

The zero-degree isotherm will reach Qiongzhou and northern Luzon. Snow may occur in the Lingnan area in winter, and it will become normal in the next few decades.

As temperatures drop, extreme weather such as cold waves, droughts, and floods will occur more frequently.

Huang Xiuyuan pointed to the northern part of the mainland:

"I'm not too worried about the local situation. There are desalination plants and water pipeline networks in the north to support it. There won't be much of a problem if it lasts for decades. Just be careful of late spring cold and heavy snowfall. Floods and cold wave disasters in the south , is what we should focus on.”

Jiang Hailin thought for a while and suggested: "Now southern cities and towns are engaged in integrated design. I propose to increase waterlogging prevention and flood prevention design. Anyway, there is a lot of excess sodium chloride production capacity in seawater desalination plants."

"Okay, you can make a proposal report!" Huang Xiuyuan arranged this matter for the other party.

After discussing preventing natural disasters, they moved on to the next topic, which was food security.

According to relevant simulation calculations, once the world enters a small glacier climate, there will definitely be a general reduction in yields in open-air natural farmland, and even genetically modified crops will hardly be spared.

After all, genetically modified crops are also living organisms. No matter how much is added, the crops will still have tolerance limits.

Of course, in a series of simulation calculations, the temperate and subtropical regions are most affected; the cold zone itself is a barren land and there is not much agriculture to lose; the tropics can barely survive, but there will be no shortage of typhoons and floods.

"In other words, if we do not take intervention measures, under the influence of the Little Glacier climate, global food production will decrease by 20 to 30%." Lin Baijie asked.

Lu Xuedong shook his head: "This is normal. There are also particularly severe years when natural disasters may occur intensively. The bottom line for grain production reduction should be lowered to 50%."

"In our control area, we should be able to be self-sufficient in food, but in other areas, it is probably difficult to say." Jiang Hailin spread his hands and said.

Although there are now hundreds of millions of tons of grain reserves in the country, no one is a holy mother, and they will not send grains with overflowing sympathy.

These foods are the cornerstone of domestic stability. Everything has priority. The food security of local people is higher than that of people in controlled areas, and the people in controlled areas are higher than friendly areas, friendly areas are higher than neutral areas, and finally the hostile areas. .

Although setting priorities seems a bit awkward, this is the reality, and the reality is so cruel.

Huang Xiuyuan ordered: "Lao Lin, your Ministry of Industry must urge all subsidiaries as soon as possible to make concerted efforts to promote indoor agriculture and agricultural buildings, not only locally, but also in Oceania."

"I'll arrange this as soon as possible." Lin Baijie nodded.

This matter cannot be delayed.

Based on the maximum 50% reduction in natural farmland production, the local indoor agricultural area must reach 600 million acres to ensure local food security.

If the surrounding control areas are included, the planting area of ​​indoor agriculture must reach about 1.5 billion acres to ensure a stable food supply in Greater China.

To achieve a high degree of prosperity, the planting area of ​​indoor agriculture must be increased to 3 billion acres, completely replacing most of the natural farmland.

Regarding the complete replacement of natural farmland, Huang Xiuyuan’s plan is to replace at least 70% of natural farmland.

Doing so will not only help restore the natural ecology, but also help food security.

Indoor agriculture does not need to worry about the temperature, precipitation and light of the natural environment. It is basically completely controllable and eliminates the weakness of human agriculture that has relied on the weather for thousands of years.

Originally, Huang Xiuyuan did not plan to promote indoor agriculture and agricultural buildings so quickly, but unexpected events occurred and the plan did not change quickly.

The possible early onset of global cooling prompted him to make changes.

After internal discussions within the Suiren Department, he, Lin Baijie and others unified their opinions.

Huang Xiuyuan then used his authority to convene an emergency virtual meeting to communicate and discuss with his superiors.

This matter is not trivial, it may affect the whole body.

To advance and accelerate the promotion of agricultural buildings, that means accelerating the promotion of controllable nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductors.

In addition, the promotion of controllable nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductors will lead to the controllable nuclear fusion technology being discovered by external forces.

Although nuclear fusion power plants can be kept secret, the large-scale increase in power generation will sooner or later have to be revealed. Even if it is false accounting, it cannot be hidden for six or seven years.

What's more, a large number of neutrinos will be produced in nuclear fusion reactions, and these neutrinos will reveal part of the information.

At that time, in order to curb the spread of nuclear technology, all major forces racked their brains, and neutrino monitoring was one of the important indicators for judging nuclear reactions.

After several days of discussion, in the end we all had no choice but to make fake accounts and use the name of a nuclear fission power plant to temporarily cover it up.

Do something at the same time to divert your attention.

For example, the International Nuclear Fusion Cooperation Organization, which is currently half-dead, is a chess piece that can be exploited.

The country plans to support this project, and then cooperate with the Xizhou Alliance and Lucia to develop tokamak devices, inertial lasers, and stellarators on the surface.

Pretend that there is no controllable nuclear fusion, and strategically deceive other forces.

Since the promotion of controllable nuclear fusion must be accelerated, the space strategy must be further strengthened, and the completion time of the first lunar city is set at around 2021 to 2022.
