Chapter 349 Transforming the Sahara

China's development is getting better and better. In contrast, the situation in other federations is not optimistic.

The American Federation and the European Federation have a profound heritage, but in order to catch up with China, they have invested most of their resources in space competition and other key areas. Although technology has advanced rapidly, people's living standards have declined.

The economy of the Russian-Indian Federation has always been poor, and the standard of living is not good, especially in India. According to a report published by the World Bank, one-third of the world's poor live in India, and India's population problem is too large. Seriously, the land area is only 2.98 million square kilometers, but the population exceeds 1.35 billion. It's just an explosion!

After future technology companies launched medical cabins, gene optimization fluids, and genetic evolution fluids, this problem became even more severe, because these products led to a sharp drop in population mortality. The population mortality rate in India used to be 8.9%, but now it is 2.3%. The number of deaths per year is nearly 10 million less than before. This is because Indians are relatively poor, and many people cannot afford the products of future technology companies. In rich countries such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, the death rate has dropped to less than 5/10,000. It is no exaggeration to say that all countries in the world are facing a population explosion. This is one of the changes that future technology companies will bring to mankind. one!

In general, the situation in the Russian-Indian Federation is very serious, and these extra populations have brought them heavy pressure.

The Arab Federation is also miserable. The oil is out, incomes are plummeting, while the population is exploding, and people's living standards are plummeting. In the Federation of Southeast Asia, because the Chinese took a lot of wealth when they returned to China, the economy suffered a serious recession and life was not much better.

The worst is the African Federation. Of the 40 countries with the highest fertility rate in the world, 38 are in Africa. Coupled with the sharp decline in the death rate, the African population is now exploding. As we all know, Africa is very poor and lacks food. The per capita possession of more than 300 catties of grain is less than 1/2 of the world average. The worst thing is that the United States and Brazil in the American Federation, which used to be big grain exporters, are now forced to sell a large amount of food due to population explosion. The food left in the country to feed its own people has resulted in Africa being unable to buy food even if it has money. Although China's food production has increased significantly, it has not been exported. Instead, it is kept for its own use, and the excess is hoarded. You must know that China is now encouraging births, coupled with a sharp drop in death rates, and the population is also exploding. In the past In the past 12 months, the birth population was 47.1 million, the death population was 500,000, the overseas Chinese also returned 27 million, and the net population growth reached a terrifying 73.6 million. !

The African people are now screaming with hunger, causing the nascent African Federation a headache. At this time, some people have a whimsical idea, can the African desert be transformed into an oasis for food production? As soon as this idea was put forward, the eyes of those in power in the African Federation were amazed, because it is completely feasible, Africans cannot do it, but China has this technology, and the deserts in China have now become oases, and the future Technology companies have also researched genetically modified crops that are very suitable for the oasis after the transformation of the desert,

There are rice, corn, peanuts, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The output is more than twice that of ordinary crops. It’s just that Chinese consumers are very resistant to genetically modified agricultural products, so these genetically modified crops are currently only grown in experimental fields. Chinese people don't eat it, but we Africans can eat it, we are almost starving to death, how can we control so much!

We must go to the Chinese for help!

The African Commonwealth unified its opinions. On October 1, the President of the African Commonwealth led a large delegation to visit China. This is the first high-level visit among the seven major forces after the formation of the new earth pattern, which has attracted a lot of attention.

The media have speculated that life in Africa is very difficult, while China is thriving. The African Federation may come to China for alms, and may even want to join China.

The domestic people are also very concerned about this, and they have expressed that they can support a little appropriately, but not too much. If the African Federation really wants to join China, it must refuse, because the countries currently accepted by China used to belong to the Chinese civilization circle. It is easy to assimilate, but Africans are different. If they really accept it, there may be a series of problems. Moreover, Africans are too lazy. After eating and drinking enough, they either sing and dance or hide at home to make children. The contribution they can make after joining China is probably very limited. The biggest possibility is that most people live on the minimum security. Increase the burden on China.

However...the media and the domestic public guessed wrong.

The president of the African Federation straightforwardly put forward his ideas to the head, Africa has many deserts, the largest Sahara Desert, with an area of ​​9.06 million square kilometers, accounting for about 32% of the total area of ​​Africa, which greatly reduces the survival of Africans. space, the African population is now facing explosive growth, and only by transforming the desert environment can it feed more people. The only effective way to transform the desert is to divert seawater into the desert. In this regard, China has the technology and experience to help Africa I hope China is willing to help Africa transform the desert into a fertile land, so that Africa will have more living space, so that Africa will no longer have to worry about the food problem!

The chief smiled when he heard the words, The transformation of the desert is a huge project, especially a desert like the Sahara, which requires a huge amount of funds. Although our country is willing to help the African people, but...

At this time, the president of the African Federation said something that the head of the government could not have imagined, African people will not let China pay in vain. As long as China is willing to help Africa transform the Sahara and other deserts, Africa is willing to pay one-third of the desert in return.

For Africa, there is actually no way. Africa has no technology and funds to transform the desert, so it can only watch the desert area getting bigger and bigger. Instead of doing this, it is better to use one-third of the desert as a The cost is to turn useless deserts that threaten human survival into forests, grasslands and farmland. Once successful, Africa will no longer starve to death because of the food crisis.

When the chief heard this, he was immediately moved. One-third of the African desert is a land of more than 3 million square kilometers. Even if they don’t immigrate there, they can all be used to grow food. This can at least feed 2 billion more people. In this way Why don't you agree to a good thing? However, 3 million square kilometers seems to be a little less, um, a little more.

After three days of negotiations, China obtained a continuous desert of 4.1 million square kilometers from Africa, and the price was to help Africa transform the Sahara Desert, Libyan Desert, Rabyana Desert, Al Bari Desert and other deserts into oases. And pay another 410 billion yuan, an average of 1 billion yuan per kilometer! It is worth mentioning that with the strengthening of China's national power, the RMB has replaced the US dollar as the world currency.

The future technology company also participated in this negotiation. When it learned that the African Federation wanted to purchase the seeds of genetically modified crops, it immediately agreed, because these seeds could not be sold in the country at all. Perhaps when Africans used them for a few years, the domestic people It is found that Africans have no accidents, and they will slowly accept these genetically modified crops. Having said that, genetically modified crops are the general trend. At least the crops grown on Mars will all be genetically modified crops, because ordinary crops on the earth cannot adapt to the Martian environment at all. Even the animals that are going to be put on Mars will be genetically modified Humans who have been genetically modified and immigrated to Mars in the future will also undergo genetic modification, otherwise they will not be able to perfectly adapt to the Martian environment, such as gravity, radiation, and so on.

On October 4, China and the African Federation signed a formal agreement, followed by a press conference to announce the matter.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

The leaders of the American Federation, the European Federation and other federations are exclaiming that China is about to start a new round of expansion, adding 4.1 million square kilometers of land at once, which is simply brutal! Although it is still a desert for birds and shit, China has proved that they have the technology to transform the desert. In a few years, these deserts will become forests, grasslands and farmland.

Some foreign media are also worried that China's move is a signal of a new round of expansion, and all federations need to be vigilant.

There are also foreign media who believe that this deal between China and Africa is a great thing that will benefit the future, because transforming the Sahara and other deserts into oases requires a lot of seawater, which can lower the sea level. You know, over the years, due to the greenhouse effect , leading to global warming, causing polar glaciers to melt, upper seawater to heat up and expand, and sea level to rise. If this situation continues, many coastal cities will be submerged, such as Mumbai in India, London in England, New York in the United States and other metropolises are in danger of disappearing into the water. In addition, transforming deserts into oases, plants can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce the greenhouse effect, which is also a great benefit to the living environment of human beings. Finally, the global population is exploding. Transforming deserts into food production places can feed more people, which is also good news for mankind.

There are also calls from foreign media that China now has the ability to comprehensively transform the earth. All federations around the world should sit together with China to discuss matters related to transforming the earth. After all, even if humans can immigrate to Mars and other planets, the earth is still a rare piece. This treasure land is the most suitable place for human survival. As long as it is properly remodeled, it can completely accommodate twice the current population. In the past, the earth was not transformed, mainly because there were too many countries, and the benefits were difficult to distribute. Now there are only six major federations and one country left in the world, and the distribution of benefits is much easier!

Foreign people once again feel the power of China, but they have become numb to it. In the past two years, China has done too many earth-shattering facts. Buying deserts and transforming the Sahara are not too shocking. However, they inevitably have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, if only their motherland can be so strong!

No matter what outsiders think, the domestic people support it 100%, because it is 4.1 million square kilometers of land, and the African Federation took the initiative to deliver it to the door. What does this mean? It shows that the motherland is awesome enough! (To be continued.)
