Homo sapiens.

However, electric energy is different. The scale of power plants can be expanded on a large scale, especially the densely packed nuclear power facilities of Homo Sapiens.

"The more serious impact is that the gold dollar has energy attributes, which means that our oil dollar model will further collapse."

Thomas Morgan's eyes flickered.

He knows that all parties in West Asia will not give up trade with Homo sapiens easily. After all, the major markets have been divided up.

Homo sapiens purchases a lot of oil and gas from West Asia every year. It is currently the largest oil and gas purchaser in West Asia and the largest trading partner of all parties in West Asia.

These oil and gas transactions are all traded in gold dollars, which are also the core ballast stone for the economic stability of all parties in West Asia.

In fact, they have no choice. If they don't accept gold dollars, their economy will definitely collapse.

Now the U.S. knife is unreliable. Without the world hegemony of America, it cannot support the oil-U.S. knife system.

The Federal Reserve still owes the world trillions of unfinished foreign debts.

However, any small force with a little head will not hold currencies such as US dollars or euros alone, but will adopt a mixed foreign exchange model.

Now the gold dollar is the strongest and safest currency.

And Homo sapiens' currency reform this time, for many small forces, actually has more advantages than disadvantages.

Anyway, these small shrimps have already laid flat, and they have not played industrialization at all, and have become a pure mining and agricultural country.

Thoroughly quantified energy gold dollars are conducive to expanding trade, and they will get more discounts when they purchase products from Homo sapiens.

Thomas Morgan shook his head wearily: "It is necessary to strengthen the exploration of economic potential within the free association, and to strengthen the expansion of members."

The others were silent.

Another purpose of the emergence of free associations is actually to strengthen the economic colonization of America, and at the same time set up strict trade barriers to prevent the market from being taken away by Homo sapiens companies.

However, the recruitment of new work by the free association is proceeding very slowly.

So far, the free associations only include America, Japan, Maple Leaf, Kangaroo, South Korea, New Zeland, Britain, the American Canal States, and a dozen small island countries in the Pacific Ocean.

America has always been thinking about the Latin American region, but failed to find a second willing to join.

The reason is naturally that Homo sapiens is doing things behind the scenes.

Including the Aztecs at the door of America's house, the interior is even more chaotic, but all Aztec leaders know an unspoken rule, that is, they can swing left and right, but don't even think about joining the free association, otherwise Take the earth plane in minutes.

Therefore, the small forces of all parties are very tacit, no matter how intimidating America is, they are ambiguous and perfunctory.

And America is afraid to do it directly now, which has caused the recruitment work of the free association to almost stagnate.

Without the trade barriers of free associations, in a free market, America can't beat Homo sapiens at all.

Thomas Morgan is very helpless. Now that many small forces see America's decline, all kinds of petty thoughts are becoming more and more blatant.

For example, the other small shrimps in Central America, they used to be envious and jealous of the American Canal Country, but faced with the coercion of America, they dare not engage in the second canal project.

Now they dare to do it, and America can't stop it. If they push the other party, if someone sells the project to Sapiens, it will be even more troublesome.

Even an old friend across the Pacific has recently invested in a new canal in Central America, and the Europa Consortium also gritted its teeth and squeezed out a little money to participate in a share.

Thomas Morgan and the City Council on the Hill couldn't stop it, but cooperated instead. This is the helplessness of reality.

Chapter 481 Huge Evaporation

Another three years of mending on the International Space Station.

Rogers, who just came up some time ago, is wearing a heavy spacesuit at this time, repairing some old-fashioned heat sinks outside the cabin.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked in the direction of the earth.

At this time, the space station is just over the Mediterranean region, and Europa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara can be seen.

He has been busy repairing the internal facilities of the space station for the past few days, and has not watched the earth carefully.

'The blue Mediterranean is so beautiful...'

"Huh? That is?"

When his eyes shifted to the Sahara Desert, his expression froze.

Because he discovered that the northeastern part of the Sahara Desert was actually green at this time, which somewhat overturned his previous cognition.

Rogers didn't think too deeply, he continued to admire the scenery of the earth for a while, and then got busy again.

However, on the earth, many people are concerned about the afforestation of the Sahara Desert.

Under the tireless transformation of Homo sapiens, nearly 84 square kilometers of desert in the northeast of the Sahara Desert have been transformed into green-covered farmland, plantations, and saltwater lakes.

The total area of ​​the Sahara Desert is only about 900 million square kilometers.

In other words, at this time, nearly one-tenth of the Sahara Desert has been transformed.

Due to the very tense relationship between Homo sapiens and the Europa Commonwealth and the Freedom Commonwealth, the two sides are not in contact with each other now, and even civil aviation and commercial transportation are almost interrupted.

But in North Africa, French power remained entrenched.

For example, the Abd Wad Republic in the west of Numidia, although they fell in love with France for more than 200 years, they turned against each other in the end.

But they still did not refuse some cooperation from France.

On the border between the Abd Wadh Republic and Numidia.

A climate and environmental research team in France is collecting various data at this time.

Dr. Lena, who was wrapped in a headscarf, put down the binoculars on a 5-story building in a small town: "Have they dug the canal here?"

Major Patton of the Foreign Legion spread his hands: "It was dug here two weeks ago."

Dr. Lena looked at the historical monitoring records of the local weather, and a trace of worry appeared on his face: "The air humidity here has increased by 5.6-7.2%, and this number may continue to increase in the future."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Barton, who didn't know much about environmental science, didn't think there was a problem.

"Everything has two sides." Dr. Lena said casually, but did not continue to explain, but asked: "Mr. Major, what is the status of our application for visas to Numidia and Suez?"

Barton shrugged: "It didn't pass, the other party refused our people to enter, unless the whole family went to work together, it would be difficult to pass."

Hearing this, Dr. Lena showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

Although she is a top environmental scientist in the Europa region, this status does not qualify Homo sapiens to make an exception for Homo sapiens.

Dr. Lena, who has not obtained a visa, can only analyze the climate change in the Sahara Desert through satellite detection data.

And her team, through the detection data of a large number of weather satellites, has discovered some climate changes in the northeastern Sahara and the sand kingdom in West Asia.

This climate change is somewhat different from previous climate changes.

According to the research of Dr. Lena's team, the climate change in the northeastern part of the Sahara Desert this time is extremely rapid, and the scope of influence is still very large.

The reason for this situation has a lot to do with Homo sapiens' large-scale use of seawater to irrigate farmland.

Many people who have studied the Sahara Desert and the West Asian Desert know that the reason for the formation of this desert area is the subtropical high pressure, in addition to factors such as terrain, location, and ocean currents.

The subtropical high pressure prevails all year round with downdraft, which is not conducive to precipitation. In addition, the seasonal northeast trade wind blows from the inland of West Asia and Central Asia. Naturally, it does not carry much water vapor, and it is also unable to form rainfall.

But at this time, Homo sapiens' Sahara "greening" project is not the same.

A large number of saltwater canals, artificial lakes, canals, and large-scale irrigation have greatly increased the evaporation of water vapor in the northeastern Sahara Desert.

Some people may say, isn't it just some canals, artificial rivers, and paddy fields, how much can this increase the evaporation?

The Red Sea Province in the Suez area is next to the Red Sea, and it is still deserted.

However, Dr. Lena's research team found that at this time, the evaporation of water in the northeastern part of the Sahara Desert was almost 5 to 6 times the total evaporation of the Red Sea.

It's just horrific.

There are three main reasons why such a large amount of water vapor is produced, the water body is vast in area, the temperature is high, and the water body is shallow in depth.

The area of ​​the Red Sea is only 43.8 square kilometers, while the artificial water bodies and seawater irrigated farmland transformed by Homo Sapiens in North Africa have an area of ​​88.7 square kilometers, almost twice the area of ​​the Red Sea.

However, if the water body is too shallow, coupled with sufficient solar energy, the temperature of the water body will be easily raised, thereby increasing the evaporation efficiency of the water body.

No matter how strong the subtropical high pressure is, there is no way to offset the water vapor of 5-6 Red Sea evaporation.

Moreover, the Homo sapiens company continues to expand the plantations and paddy fields in North Africa, and digs canals to the Chad and Meroy areas.

In the future, the entire eastern Sahara region may be dyed green, and the evaporation rate will further skyrocket by then.

The central area of ​​the Sahara Desert will definitely be affected, the climate will become wetter, and it is very possible that the desert will become a grassland.

Perhaps this is a good thing for the Sahara region, but not necessarily a good thing for other regions.

The reason why Dr. Lena is worried about this is because she knows that the global climate is a whole. When there is a sudden change in the climate in a certain area, it will inevitably affect other areas. This is something that cannot be avoided.

Homo sapiens' transformation of the Sahara Desert is almost a permanent transformation, which will lead to drastic changes in the climate model of the entire Sahara Desert region.

This drastic change in climate has a great impact on agricultural production.

The climate requirements of agricultural production, the first element is stability, and the second is suitable.

If the climate is unstable, there will be a sudden torrential rain this year, continuous drought next year, and another April snowstorm the year after, then open-air agriculture will definitely be hit hard.

Dr. Lena returns to temporary accommodation.

A local meteorological researcher held a document and greeted Dr. Lena: "Dr. Lena, we got an invitation letter for the African Climate Forum, which will be held in Cairo."

"But I don't have a visa." Dr. Lena said helplessly.

"Doctor, you are too rigid."

Dr. Lena hurriedly asked, "Robin Hood, what can you do?"

"Why don't you apply for Abd's citizenship?" Robin Hood reminded with winks.

"What?"

"You should have a way."

Dr. Lena thought for a while, and finally nodded. She quickly called her embassy and contacted several old acquaintances in France.

Soon her idea was approved, and she promised to help run the operation, allowing Abd to quickly naturalize Abd. After attending the African Climate Forum, she can directly apply for restoration of citizenship.

Three days later, Dr. Lena, Robin Hood and others flew to Cairo to attend the African Climate Forum.

Chapter 482 The Power of Carbon

Suez area.

Cairo city.

Dr. Lena, who just got off the plane, felt very cool, not like a subtropical desert climate at all, but like a subtropical monsoon climate.

Walking out of the airport, she was standing next to the bus stop.

Looking around, the airport is not surrounded by endless deserts and Gobi Desert, but lush prairie.

Dr. Lena, who has been to Cairo Airport several times, was shocked by the changes in front of her eyes: "The climate here has changed too much."

Another Western Roman scholar who also came here with a temporary identity was also very surprised: "Isn't this the Nile River agricultural area? Aren't they afraid that sea water will pour into the Nile River?"

A scholar from the Kingdom of Sand with a telescope saw some things through the types of herbaceous plants around:

"It should not be sea water. These herbs are not particularly resistant to salt and alkali. If the Homo sapiens company uses genetically modified technology, then I don't know much about it."

Dr. Lena asked with concern: "Professor Eben, has the climate in the Kingdom of Sand changed?"

"Well, there are some changes, especially along the Red Sea coast in the west. The air humidity has increased a lot. This year's rainfall has increased by about 20% compared with the same period in previous years." Professor Eben is not too worried.

Because the afforestation of the Sahara Desert and the increase in evaporation are good things for the sand kingdom, which is originally a desert area.

After all, their territory is desert, and agricultural development is very troublesome.

If it weren't for the Homo sapiens company's ability to do things, the Kingdom of Sandland would have introduced seawater crops a long time ago, and they are so greedy for seawater crops.

The desert area in the Sand Kingdom is vast. If seawater crops can be introduced, then food and agricultural products can be completely self-sufficient, and they can even be exported.

However, due to fear of Homo sapiens company doing things, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not made up its mind.

Foreign scholars at the bus station are still discussing.

A double-decker bus came to the station.

"The car is here," Robin Hood reminded.

A group of people lined up to get on the bus.

Dr. Lena and Robin Hood went up to the second floor, found a seat and sat down.
