Great Power Technology

"So, do you understand now what we're doing?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Ling nodded solemnly, and then replied:

"Understood. The nuclear fusion and beacon plans are to delay energy suffocation, because for the civilization in the adjacent dimension, the power of the 'water pump' they have is also limited."

"If we can ensure that our energy generation rate is greater than or slightly less than theirs, then we can maintain a relative balance of power and gain more time."

"Similarly, the Tongtian River project is also to alleviate the impact of energy suffocation - we need more productivity, more people, more food, and more land."

"But... there is another direction - artificial intelligence. Do we have any plans for this?"

Ye Zhou nodded and replied:

"Yes. After extending from the Matrix Project, the Six-Noses Project, and the AES Project, we will launch a new strong artificial intelligence development plan, but the name of the plan is yet to be determined."

"What about medical treatment? What about the genetic field? - Yes, this has already been started, starting with gene editing, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Ling breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed:

"It's really magnificent... How did I catch up with such an era?"

"This should be the largest infrastructure plan in human history, right? That's right. Under such circumstances, the only solution is to develop and construct in large strides."

“Create territories, build towers from sand, move mountains and fill seas.”

Speaking of this, Lin Ling suddenly paused, and then asked:

"With such a big move, other surrounding countries will have strong opinions, right? Just the Tongtian River project is probably going to jump up in Yindu - we are equivalent to 80% of the flow of the entire Ganges River during the high water period. If they are intercepted, many people will starve to death."

Ye Zhou shook his head and replied:

"We are not that anti-human. We will not let them starve to death."

"How to do?"

"They will do what Israel does - water-saving agriculture. If they don't have the technology, they will import it from us - the same goes for power generation. After the nuclear fusion power station comes out, their hydroelectric power station can disappear from history. Now that the stage is up, just rely on us and let them exchange resources."

"How long will this take?"

"The time currently set is five years. This is an optimistic estimate. If any accidents occur during the process, the time may be extended."

"That will be quick! - But, they may not accept this plan, right?"

Ye Zhou shook his head slightly and replied:

"They will definitely not accept it, but so what?"

"The Golden Crow is about to ascend to heaven, and they have no choice."

Lin Ling jumped up from his chair, sighed and said:

"I really envy you who are engaged in applied technology. Every time you do something, mankind will take a step forward... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Ye Gong, let me ask you, after the water reaches Lop Nur, What are we going to do about it?”

"What I mean is that according to our past afforestation experience, after a large amount of water enters, the desert will turn green and grow soil in five or six years. At that time, the climate will also change accordingly, and the evaporated water will be in the form of rainwater. Fall down again.”

"By then, overall, the water source in this area will be excessive. What are we going to do with this excess water?"

Ye Zhou smiled and replied:

"It's still a far-fetched idea...but we do have this plan. After the desert turns green, 5 to 10 new rivers should be formed in this area, and these rivers are likely to flow northward into the Arctic Ocean under the influence of terrain factors. "

"But we certainly won't let that happen."

"We will launch a new large-scale damming project to intercept part of the water in Lop Nur and divert part of the water to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia in the east."

"Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the grassland. The key is Lop Nur."

"You also know that the place below us was actually a sea in ancient times. Later, with the movement of the earth's crust and the terrain uplifting, it gradually dried up and became a basin."

"Due to the evaporation effect, extremely high concentrations of saline-alkali substances are actually deposited on this land. After the introduction of new water sources, these substances will wash away the saline-alkali substances on the ground, and then in the center of Lop Nur, where we are The current location forms a new inland sea.”

"This inland sea will become the core base of our chemical industry in the future."

Lin Ling lowered his head and glanced at the sand under his feet, imagining the sparkling scene here in the near future, and couldn't help but feel fascinated.

After a moment, she spoke:

"Ye Gong, I don't feel depressed at all now."

"I'm just a little worried...what if what we do is not enough?"

Ye Zhou stood up and stretched, walked around Lin Ling, picked up the lychee she had put aside, and said while peeling:

"Everyone has this concern, so we are trying more than this."

"Of course, what I am going to say next is purely subjective inference - just take it for fun."

"You see, it is known that quantum ghosts will appear one day in the future. It is known that quantum ghosts have a great relationship with you. It is known that the background of the appearance of quantum ghosts is high-intensity dimensional confrontation."

"So, do you think it's possible that quantum ghosts are an exploration of our fight against the invasion of adjacent dimensions?"

"Whether we want to use this probability cloud to eliminate the goblins guarding the water pumps, or we want to convert material life into energy life... In short, quantum ghosts are indeed the closest thing we can get to each other under our current technical conditions. distance."

"I just don't know if our ghost has come into contact with them - most likely he has not, but at least he has given us information about the jump in entropy increase."

Lin Ling's expression on the opposite side was a little disappointed, but this emotion only lasted for a few seconds.

"Harm... when you first said it, I thought that the quantum ghost would roam the star sea, slay demons, and then achieve great deterrence at a very small cost - that would be quite enthusiastic."

"How can there be such passion in reality..."

Ye Zhou smiled helplessly and continued:

"Actually, you don't have to think that far. As far as the decades of confrontation between us and the ugly country are concerned, are there any elements of opportunism on our part?"

"Those were all punched one after another, and they were all piled up from mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"This is how it is between countries, let alone the confrontation between two different civilizations? They will not give us a chance, nor will they reveal their flaws - they can only fight head-on."

"Fortunately, we've always been tough."

Lin Ling nodded thoughtfully and repeated in a low voice involuntarily:

"Oh...that's it, it's okay if you don't have to be tough..."

“….”

Ye Zhou lay back on the chair calmly. Lin Ling looked at the peeled lychees in the basin and asked with some confusion:

"Why don't you eat?"

"...I'm just looking for something to do with my hands. By the way, tomorrow, I'm going to see the photovoltaic melting tower. If you don't want to go, you can just stay at the base, or let the plane take you back in advance. .”

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, Lin Ling pondered for a moment and then answered:

"I'm not going to the photovoltaic melting tower. I want to see the Altash power station."

"This should be our first large-scale project to transform the desert in the northwest, right? At that time, we didn't know about the invasion of neighboring dimensions."

A look of emotion appeared on Ye Zhou's face, and he sighed and said:

"Yeah... Actually, this project was planned twenty years ago."

"I sometimes wonder, what kind of motivation is it that can make those people set their sights on this desert, decades into the future..."

"Twenty years ago, they didn't have any pressure from neighboring dimensions."

Lin Ling remained silent. This was also her problem.

It was already late at night, the hot soil was beneath the two of them, and the stars were shining brightly above their heads.
