I can deduce the direction of civilization

"Accident."

Every time Chu Tiange heard this word, it meant a major turning point in human destiny.

And most of the time, it is the beginning of a tragic fate.

So, what are the variables in this turning point?

[From 2030 to 2035, as the Industrial 4.0 era begins and enters the heyday of prosperity, Jiuzhou's industrialization level will increase significantly. Correspondingly, the air pollution index will also increase sharply, and environmental pollution will become increasingly serious. 】

[Atmospheric pollutants, such as smoke, dust particles, nitrogen oxides, VOCs volatile organic compounds, non-methane gases, sulfides, ammonia compounds, ozone, benzene series, carbon dioxide and other toxic and harmful gases have soared in proportion, and the oxygen content has plummeted. dropped from 21% to 18%. 】

[Because people have been breathing polluted and dirty air for a long time, even if the basic version of genetic medicine is popularized at this time, illness is still unavoidable. People's lifespan is gradually shortened, their cardiopulmonary function is weakened, and most people's bodies have become sub-healthy again, suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. , cancer, skin diseases, blood diseases, respiratory infections, pneumonia and other diseases occur frequently. 】

Chu Tiange was walking in the streets and alleys and felt a strong pungent smell in the air.

It's a bit like the pungent smell of industrial alcohol mixed with acidic haze and high-concentration aromatic hydrocarbons. It goes straight to your nose and forehead. You can't go out without wearing a mask.

Looking up, the sky is gray and there is no sunlight scattered on a sunny day.

Not to mention looking at the stars and moon at night, in broad daylight you can't even see the blue sky, white clouds and the sun.

On the street of a certain commercial street.

"Ahem!"

A middle-aged couple walked hurriedly with support.

"Husband, just hold on, we'll be at the hospital soon."

The man was breathing heavily and his breathing rate increased.

"I-I can't do it anymore, I-vomit..."

puff!

The white mask on the middle-aged face was instantly soaked with blood.

The middle-aged man's vision went dark, his feet had no roots, he lost support, and fell heavily to the ground.

The woman sat on the ground crying and begging for help from passers-by, but the passers-by around her were in a hurry and panic, and no one was willing to step forward to help.

The woman called the emergency number and the ambulance number, but they all showed busy. She completely suffered a mental breakdown.

Middle-aged people already suffer from wheezing. Nowadays, the air quality is so poor and the oxygen concentration ratio has dropped. The external natural environment has become the murderer of middle-aged people.

Social development is unbalanced and environmental pollution is becoming increasingly severe.

Is the reason due to air pollution?

No.

To be precise, there is an imbalance between industrial development and ecological environment development. One is still standing still, while the other has reached its peak.

It took just five years to complete the reform of the Industry 4.0 system that took fifty years to build. The leap forward development will inevitably weaken the momentum of progress in other fields.

This has led to serious air pollution, squeezing the oxygen space in the air, reducing the content of negative oxygen ions, and reducing the oxygen ratio from 21% to 18%. The crisis has come again, the oxygen crisis.

The oxygen ratio of 18% is simply not enough for the normal oxygen supply to the creatures in Kyushu. Moreover, because hundreds of millions of creatures have adapted to the 21% oxygen ratio environment for a long time, a sudden change in the environment may lead to chaos in the entire ecosystem.

For example, the middle-aged uncle just now suffered from asthma in an almost terrifying low-oxygen environment. The strong breathing pressure directly caused him to have an acute relapse. He could not even get effective relief in time, so he would suffocate and die.

As we all know, the oxygen content will decrease by 1.6% for every one kilometer of elevation of the surface of the earth. Based on this calculation, people in plain areas are probably on a plateau of two thousand meters per capita.

Therefore, some people with weak respiratory functions need to wear oxygen masks or portable ventilators before venturing out.

The scene changes.

Chu Tiange came to Qinghu, the largest freshwater lake in the interior of Zhongzhou, and also experienced a survival crisis due to the decrease in oxygen concentration in the water.

On the water surface of Qinghu Lake, fish belly turned upside down and died, and white flowers and flowers floated on it.

Turning around to the East Coast, the situation was exactly the same.

Looking around, there were flakes of dead fish, as far as the eye could see.

[In 2036, people realized the seriousness of the ecological environment situation, and all states in Kyushu successively issued orders to devote themselves to environmental air quality control. 】

[Jiuzhou Environmental Protection United jointly launched the blue sky rescue and protection plan to vigorously develop environmental technology. 】

The Zhongzhou Air Environment Governance Conference was held.

A group of experts and scholars in the environmental field gathered together.

"Let's talk about the situation first."

The person in charge of the conference spoke.

An expert said: "Due to the disproportionate reduction in oxygen concentration and the increase in the proportion of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, it has been measured that the average temperature across Kyushu has increased by three degrees compared to five years ago."

"Due to the intensification of thermal effects and the continued rise in temperature, the polar icebergs have seriously melted at a rate visible to the naked eye, causing the sea level to rise by about 20 meters. Some low-lying areas, such as coastal areas, tidal flats, and alluvial plain buffer zones The area has been flooded.”

Then, another scholar reported on his investigation: "According to sixty years of water and oxygen resource testing in various parts of Kyushu from 1975 to 2035, the oxygen content in surface water has dropped by 9%, while the oxygen content in inland lakes and rivers deep water areas , dropped by more than 25%.”

Next, experts, scholars, and professors in related fields published the data they investigated one after another. Every time a set of data or a fact was released, people felt as if their hearts had been hit by a hammer.

Shocking data and shocking events continue to happen, which makes people feel terrified. If this continues, within 30 years, humans will lose oxygen and can only rely on synthetic oxygen to survive.

Synthetic oxygen is expensive and long-term supply is unrealistic. Ordinary people... most people can only sit and wait for death.

"We must find a way to solve it!"

"Stop the pace of Industry 4.0, vigorously develop environmental technology, monitoring and governance, it is urgent."

The conference established the goals and directions for future scientific and technological development. Environmental experts, scholars, scientific research teams and corporate groups in various states and related institutions and units work together to strive towards the blue sea and blue sky.

A middle-aged woman fell into deep thought at a seat below the conference. It is not difficult and easy to solve the problem of environmental pollution. All you need to do is stagnate the industrial state and vigorously manage environmental sanitation. Even if there is no effect for a while, it will definitely work if you persist in it for a long time.

Yes, environmental governance, taking water pollution control as an example, it takes at least ten to fifteen years to clean a polluted lake, and a round of sedimentation and purification every two years.

Air pollution is a big issue. For example, in the monitoring industry, it is well known that the evaluation criteria for air quality include PM2.5 and PM10 dust particles, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, and several parameters such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

For example, automobile exhaust emissions contribute about 20-30% to air pollution. Fortunately, the Tianwen new energy technology reform directly reduced the contribution rate to about 3%, otherwise the air pollution would be more serious, but it was useless. The industrial part increased from 50% to more than 85%. In the final analysis, if we stop or sort out the heavy pollution industry, everything will be fine.

However, everyone obviously did not find the real pain point factors that harm humans.

Oxygen itself!

That's right, it is the reduction of oxygen content and concentration.

Even if air pollution is solved and the oxygen ratio increases, the oxygen concentration is still thin. No, it should be said that when the proportion of oxygen in the overall air increases, the concentration will be diluted.

The 18% ratio will continue to increase, and the concentration will continue to decrease!

After the meeting, the middle-aged woman left Gyeonggi Province with worry and returned to Annan City.

【Due to the implementation of the Blue Sky Rescue and Protection Plan, the environmental science and technology field has developed rapidly, and various types of governance instruments and methods have emerged one after another, but the effect is not ideal. Environmental problems have not been effectively alleviated, and the emergency situation can only be temporarily stabilized. 】

【Until the emergence of giant oxygen bacteria, a pair of academic masters showed amazing talents and painstaking research. In 2040, the negative oxygen ion generator came out, and the environmental problem was solved. 】

Chu Tiange turned and came to a paleontological research laboratory of Tianwen Group in Annan City.

"Jingmo, I succeeded!"

Middle-aged Li Shuijun was ecstatically holding up the micro-culture medium, and the agar block inside was covered with a layer of fluffy white frost.

"The successful cultivation of giant oxygen bacteria has increased the efficiency of the metamorphic enzyme reaction by a hundred times. Only one giant oxygen bacterium can increase the ecological negative oxygen ion content in each cubic centimeter of space by five times! By analogy, if we want to make our laboratory a longevity village, we only need to cultivate a micro-bacteria colony."

In the era of low oxygen, the oxygen content in the air was less than 200/cm3, and there were only a few world-famous longevity villages where the content exceeded 1000/cm3.

Adults need 13 billion negative oxygen ions every day to maintain life, while people's work, life, entertainment and other natural environments can only provide about 100-100 million negative oxygen ions.

The lack of negative oxygen ions is the fundamental reason for the low oxygen concentration in the air.

We need to make one thing clear: the air is not lacking in oxygen, but lacking in oxygen!

As the content of oxides increases, oxygen naturally decreases. Oxygen ions are divalent and combine with hydrogen ions, ammonium ions, carbon oxide ions and sulfur ions in the air. It goes without saying how important negative oxygen ions are.

After the conference ended, this was what Lin Jingmo had been worried about.

But in fact, in the past five years, air pollution control has been effective. The oxygen ratio has increased back to 21%, but the oxygen concentration has been diluted, still consistent with the total of 18%.

In terms of the core, the oxygen environment has not changed or improved, but has a downward trend.

But fortunately, five years ago, her husband, a master in the field of biology, Professor Li Shuijun, successfully discovered the DNA of the super-ancient organism-giant oxygen bacteria!

After five years of cultivation and research, giant oxygen bacteria have finally been reproduced.

Giant oxygen bacteria, the creator of the giant oxygen era 300 million years ago!

When the ecological negative oxygen ion content in the air environment is above 10,000/cm3, it can be called a giant oxygen environment.

In the era of giant oxygen environment, the air is extremely fresh, the plants are lush and vigorous, and the individual plants and animals are all huge and strong, and they show strong self-healing ability.

A typical example is the Mesozoic Era 300 million years ago, from the Triassic to the Jurassic, and then to the Cretaceous. The dinosaur era that ended 65 million years ago is the core representative of the giant oxygen era. At that time, animals were tall and mighty, and plants were thick and dense, all thanks to the influence of the giant oxygen environment.

"Giant oxygen bacteria..."

For some reason, Chu Tiange felt a potential crisis.
