The rise of nanometers

Before we knew it, it was October again.

At this time, the northern hemisphere has begun to enter the late autumn season, the grasslands of Mobei are withered, and the first snow comes earlier than before.

Mobei, Hulunbuir Prairie in Dongfang Province.

The first snowfall in late autumn did not bring a scene of ice and snow. A thin layer of snow, under the sunshine at noon, had melted into water, penetrated into the soil, or evaporated into the air.

The city of Qiaoba Mountain, under the management of the Federation, has become a very prosperous pearl on the fortress.

At this time, the city has a permanent population of more than 1.57 million, making it one of the three largest cities in Mobei.

Don't think that such a population is small. You must know that even after the federal environmental transformation, the total population of Mobei is only about 12.73 million.

Choi Bashan has a population of 1.57 million, which has exceeded the capital Ulaanbaatar. In addition to a large number of local residents, there are also many people who have migrated from North China and Guanzhong.

Due to this year's weather, the snow season has been brought forward once again, and many people have begun to make arrangements for winter in advance.

In fact, it is not only snowing in Mobei ahead of schedule, but also the entire high latitude areas of the northern hemisphere are gradually entering the snow season.

Siberia, Maple Leaf Country, and northern Xizhou, which are at higher latitudes than Mobei, are already covered in ice and snow at this moment.

The unusual little glacier climate is erupting. From various space stations orbiting the Blue Star, the sudden changes of the Blue Star can be directly observed.

The ice in the Arctic Ocean continues to thicken, and the ice sheet coverage in Antarctica has reached its largest value in the past 100 years.

Even though it's close to summer in the Southern Hemisphere, Antarctica's ice sheets are still not giving in.

The ice in the Arctic and Antarctic continues to thicken, and the ice cap area continues to expand, as if the ice that had melted over the past few decades is recovering all at once.

The urban area of ​​Choiba Mountain.

Many old merchants have already come over in advance and started purchasing large quantities of vegetables, fruits and grains at the farmers' wholesale market.

Vicky, a businessman from Chita, wearing a gray-white down jacket, was haggling with two guys in the farmers' wholesale market.

Vicky, who is tall and fat, looks like a furry bear, but he has very strong bargaining skills and is willing to pay every penny.

In fact, this is the norm for businessmen. Maybe ordinary people can buy things at the right price, but businessmen have a relatively large purchasing base, so even a few cents difference in unit price is a big expense.

Vicky purchased 50 tons of potatoes at a price of 0.32 Chinese yuan per kilogram, and walked to the next wholesaler with the order in hand.

After cutting off half the sky-high price, Vicky felt a little hot. He unzipped his down jacket and complained to an old acquaintance who wholesaled tomatoes:

"Zhang, I really envy you here. It's been snowing heavily in Chita for three days in a row. I'm a little worried about whether the railway can run smoothly."

Zhang Qinhou, a tomato wholesaler at Qiaobashan Farmers Wholesale Market, smiled and shook his head: "It's similar in Mobei. It also snowed last night."

"But you have a dome system here." Vicky sounded very envious.

The dome system he was talking about was a large-scale project secretly initiated by the federal government at the end of 2014. This technology will complete the transformation of the first batch of pilot cities around August this year.

The so-called dome system is to build a large protective layer to wrap the entire city inside the protective layer to achieve internal microclimate control.

This technology is actually derived from large space stations. On the one hand, it is to deal with extreme weather. On the other hand, it is also to prevent certain special situations.

The pilot cities of the Qionglu system are concentrated in Mobei, Northeast, Northwest and Snowy Region. There are 12 pilot cities in the first batch.

Choibalsan is one of the pilot cities.

Looking down from the sky above Qiaoba Mountain, this is a crystal clear "Crystal City". Qiaoba Mountain's dome system includes eight areas, each of which has a relatively independent protective layer.

If you look at it from a distance, it looks a bit like the Water Cube Stadium in Peking. The exterior is covered with pieces of honeycomb-shaped high-strength material, which looks like transparent glass. In fact, it is about 4.2 times stronger than high-manganese steel.

If coupled with the integrated design, it would be extremely difficult to destroy the protective layer of the dome system.

In fact, the protective capabilities of the dome system mainly focus on protecting against natural disasters. As for missiles and nuclear bombs, there are laser defense systems, canopy defense systems, and interceptor missile systems.

Based on the current technological level of other forces in the world, basically no missiles can penetrate this comprehensive defense system.

Therefore, the existence of the dome system is actually to resist natural disasters.

In fact, when it comes to the dome system, the federal agricultural factories and high-protection factories in the northern region, coupled with comprehensive super highways, these facilities can be connected.

It is already snowing heavily in the northern part of Mobei.

As the climate around the world becomes colder, temperatures in mid- and high-latitudes will definitely gradually drop in the future.

The existence of the dome system will ensure that the federal agriculture, industry, commerce and social life are not affected by climate cooling.

Just like the current Qiaoba Mountain, the 8 areas in the city, with a total area of ​​86 square kilometers, are all covered by the protective layer of domes.

Even if the outside temperature is close to zero, the interior still maintains a comfortable temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

Not to mention the locals in Mobei, even the people in the Lingnan area can adapt to this temperature.

This is why Vicki is so envious. If the federal immigration application was not very difficult, he would have wanted to immigrate here.

After all, Siberia is really a trap. It was very difficult in the past when the temperature was not as low as it is now, let alone now.

Snow began to fall in Chita in mid-October, which led to the continuous reduction of local open-air agricultural production time. Unless the federal government begins to promote the popularization of indoor agriculture, Siberia's agricultural production will be severely weakened.

Vicky estimated that this year's frost-free period would start in mid-April and end in mid-October, only about half a year.

This is fine for many short-day crops; if it is some long-day crops, the problem is big.

This is still the case in Chita, which is the southern region of Siberia. In higher latitudes, frost-free periods will become increasingly rare.

There can only be three or four months a year without ice and snow, so except for indoor farming, other open-air farming can basically be shut down.

Vicky, like many Lucians in Siberia, wanted to escape the bitter cold and longed for the warmer south.

It's a pity that it's no longer the 19th or 20th century. The powerful federation is not afraid of wooly bears. They can only wander in Siberia.

Vicky was very worried. He didn't know what his future would be like. This terrible confusion filled the hearts of the vast majority of the people at the bottom of Lucia.

After haggling with Zhang Qinhou for a while, Wei Wei bought 7 tons of tomatoes at a price of 0.43 Chinese yuan per kilogram.

Much of Lucia's economy now relies on exporting minerals, timber, oil and natural gas.

The main customer of these export products is the Federation, and many of the Federation's products are also exported to Lucia.

It's just that there is a huge difference in the economy between the two sides, and the Federation is not interested in this market. If it were not worried that the bear would go crazy, it could actually block the other party's economy and cause Lucia's economy to collapse in an instant.
