Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1798 up your alley (seven)

During the confrontation of the Cold War in the 20s, not only the Americans tried to create weapons that could affect the weather, but the Soviets were no exception. For this reason, the United Nations formally adopted a convention banning the use of climate weapons in 60, but they were busy with the arms race. The two countries still go their own way.

Although James Bond is fake, British spies still stole a lot of information from the United States and Russia, including the United States collecting weather reports from airports around the world, and the Soviet Union sending scientists to investigate the causes of extreme cold weather, because whether it is Napoleon was still Germany during World War II, and in a sense, he was defeated by cold weather.

If this kind of weather can be artificially controlled, then Russia will have an invincible "bronze wall and iron wall".Compared with the United States using rain bombs and silver iodide to create floods and droughts, this extremely cold weather is more like a defensive weapon. It may be part of the capital defense plan of the Soviet Union. Air-raid shelters were dug everywhere.

Corruption is everywhere, and there are people who use Star Wars projects and weather weapons to make money.As for whether these weather weapons are useful or not, no one knows. The rainy season in Vietnam is inherently rainy, and it is hard to see whether artificial intervention will work. Cuba may have a drought during that time.

The biggest feature of weather weapons is that no evidence can be found. After all, any human power is small in the face of natural disasters.

However, people can still hear some "insider information" from the Ministry of National Defense, which makes people feel that this is really done by the Americans. Their experiment was successful, and with "iron evidence" they have a deterrent effect, which is enough to scare the enemy to the point of timidity At this point, as long as you are afraid of them, these people are no longer a threat.

Perhaps personal power is small, and quantitative changes can produce qualitative changes, which can also produce amazing results.

Chaos theory is often used in weather forecasting. Although this theory makes weather forecasting more difficult, some people still use this theory to build mathematical models and use supercomputers to perform calculations. For example, the meteorologist in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", It's just that he studied paleometeorology.

Few British people don’t know about Darwin. In Chapter 12 of Darwin’s "Origin of Species", he mentioned the bipolar homology of terrestrial animals and plants, which means that although the north and south poles are separated by the tropical and temperate zones in the middle, they can be separated into two halves. Polar organisms at the two poles are closely related.

The fish in the deep sea are understandable. Originally, the oceans of the earth are basically connected.Before the opening of the Panama Canal, Darwin discovered that the sea fish on both sides of Panama are very similar, which means that it is very likely that the Panama area was a sea area a long time ago, and the two sides were separated after the sea level fell.

The distribution of terrestrial animals and plants cannot be explained by this method. Some people have proposed the theory of migratory birds, but even migratory birds cannot fly from the North Pole to the Antarctic and "drop" seeds to the Antarctic.

Siberian swans often go to Japan to spend the winter, and of course the migratory birds take the principle of proximity.Another hypothesis is that the whole world became colder during the Ice Age, including the tropics. After the Ice Age passed, the temperature rose. Animals and plants that were suitable for living in the cold zone could not adapt to the humid and hot climate of the tropics and became extinct by themselves.

This is also impossible. It is true that even the tropics are so cold that frigid creatures can survive. The species on the earth have been collectively destroyed long ago. Darwin was in favor of alternating ice ages in the northern and southern hemispheres. This cooling process is gradual, not as in " It's so extreme in "The Day After Tomorrow".For example, saber-toothed tigers and mammoths live near the poles, but there is a limit to their cold tolerance. When polar animals in the northern hemisphere feel that they are not suitable for their own survival, they migrate to the south. During this process, polar creatures will gradually replace temperate animals. Temperate animals Then they were driven to remote areas, and when the temperature turned, the arctic creatures retreated north, and the temperate animals that were squeezed out returned to their original habitats.

Compared with the intact mammoth remains found in the Siberian permafrost, the wool of the mammoth found in the Americas is not so long, perhaps to facilitate its heat dissipation.

As for the two-level homology phenomenon of terrestrial plants, such as the fact that Crouching gentian, an arctic alpine plant, appeared in Tierra del Fuego, it is still the responsibility of "albatrosses". puzzle.

Human activity has also brought some species that would not otherwise occur locally, such as Australian dingoes and cats, and invasive species such as wild oats.Humans brought cats and dogs to Australia to keep them company, or to let cats catch mice. As a result, instead of catching mice, cats caught Australian native animals.

Wild oats were taken by accident. It grows wildly like weeds in the local area. Because there are no natural enemies, it can only be weeded manually. Otherwise, it will deprive the nutrients of the grain and reduce the yield of the grain.

The main planting areas of natural rubber trees are concentrated in Southeast Asia, which is the area covered by the Indonesian tsunami. Among them, the main rubber plantations in Indonesia are distributed in Sumatra, which is also the hardest-hit place this time. Many speculators think that rubber should soar. , but Lucius found that the futures price of rubber fell after observing the market.

Not only rubber, but other industrial product transaction prices also continued to slump. Thailand, which was also affected by the disaster, even introduced policies to increase rubber prices, but the transaction form is still not optimistic.

There is an idiom called things that hurt their kind, which is a metaphor for seeing the death of the same kind and thinking about their own future fate, and feeling sad. A sad market atmosphere is not conducive to business. The essence of business is to make people happy. Happiness is the ecosystem of business. .

Sometimes life is too clear to be unhappy. The diamond ring is a scam, but a woman is willing to wear a big diamond ring to show off everywhere, and tell people everywhere that it was given by her husband. Save him not knowing how much trouble.

Lucius is now wearing a wedding ring. Although it is a bit early to get married in his early 20s, most women are very sensible when they see the ring on "Alessandro".

If the cashier wanted to embezzle, she deliberately didn’t use the cash register when she was cashing, and the customer gave her the money, and she put it in her pocket. If the boss hired a supervisor to rectify this phenomenon, not only would it cost more, but It will also greatly affect the enthusiasm of employees.

At this time, if the boss leaves a note on the cash register, it says "If you buy a meal without a cash receipt, you will get a free meal, please call xxxxxxxx".

Customers who can eat for free are of course willing, but most customers don't know why they leave this note.

In fact, the boss does this to let the customer supervise for himself. If the cashier is corrupt, the customer can call and report it. The cashier knows that the customer will not call, and the boss also knows that the cashier will not remind the customer why he got a note. The function of the note is a deterrent, and everyone will live in peace if they follow the rules.

As for why a Coca-Cola company bought a French milk company, Lucius heard that there was a drought in Southeast Asia. It hadn’t rained for a long time, and the infrastructure was destroyed by the tsunami. Many people had problems drinking water, and some areas even suffered from dysentery. symptom.

Selling pure water at this time will be a good deal, but now that the Americans have bought Danone, will it be able to meet the needs of post-disaster reconstruction in Southeast Asia in time?

Another is Alstom's power station project in Indonesia. Has it been affected by the tsunami this time?

A British scholar who studies fluid mechanics pointed out that although there is no big breakwater in Sri Lanka, there are many natural coral reefs. However, due to the development of tourism in recent years, the coral reefs have been mined and made into handicrafts and sold to tourists. This natural breakwater has been lost. The damage caused by the tsunami is even greater. There is a place called Sikaduwa, where the coral reefs are carefully cared for. When the waves arrive, the coral reefs block the big waves, and the damage to Sikaduwa is not serious.

Illegally harvesting coral is like digging a hole in a dam. Restoring the ecology and restoring the coral reef to its original appearance may really work.

Alstom and Danone are both private companies, and the executives of these two companies are not within the scope of French administrative law. Just as Louisiana has civil law, French administrative law is also a case, similar to common law.Moreover, some companies with strategic value have been nationalized. The appointment or dismissal of the responsible person is an administrative decision, and they must be governed by administrative law just like civil servants.

Private companies are not included.

Alstom is responsible for the charging business of French nuclear submarines.

Although the Americans dealt with the French, what would other allies think of this move?

No wonder Kingsley aged so quickly after becoming Minister of Magic.

This International Statute of Secrecy is really protecting wizards. At first Salazar Slytherin played with Muggle children near the castle. Later they insisted on seeing the dragon. These Muggles not only lost their lives, but even Salazar Slytherin Racha's mother also died in the dragon's breath.

Then Hogwarts had the school motto of "Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon".

Sometimes too much curiosity can kill a cat.

Cats have nine lives, but how many lives do humans have?
What determines our destiny is not our ability, but our choice.

Just like those citizens who escaped the tsunami and hid in the library in those movies.They made what they thought was the right judgment when they chose to follow the police and listen to what a student said.

Staying in the library will also face the problem of food shortage.

Leaving seemed right and rational at the time, and it was the choice of most people.

At that moment, life and death were decided, and Jack had done what he could do. He did a good job, better than some adults, not only kept his small team, but also found the drug for his beloved girl. .

That's it, he doesn't need to save all of humanity, only a fool would do that.
