Chapter 349: Transforming the Sahara
China's development is getting better and better, compared to the situation in other federations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The American Federation and the European Federation have deep roots, but in order to catch up with China, most of their resources have been invested in space competition and other critical areas, and although science and technology have 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 bad, especially India, according to a report published by the World Bank, one-third of the world's poor people live in India, and India's population problem is too serious, with a land area of only 2.98 million square kilometers and a population of more than 1.35 billion, which is an explosion!
After the future technology company launched the medical cabin, gene optimization solution, gene evolution solution, this problem is even more serious, because these products have led to a sharp decline in the mortality rate of the population, India's population mortality rate was originally 8.9%, now it is 2.3%, and the annual death rate is nearly 9 million less than in the past, this is still because Indians are relatively poor, and many people cannot afford to use the products of future technology companies. In the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other rich countries, the mortality rate has dropped to less than 5 per 10,000, and it is no exaggeration to say that all countries in the world are facing a population explosion, which is also one of the changes that technology companies will bring to mankind in the future!
In general, the situation in the Russian-Indian federation is dire, and these "excess" populations are putting a heavy strain on them.
The Arab Federation is also miserable, the oil is out of work, incomes are plummeting, while the population is exploding and people's living standards are plummeting. In the Southeast Asian Federation, because the Chinese took a lot of wealth with them when they returned to China, the economy regressed badly, and life was not much better.
The worst is the African Federation, the 40 countries with the highest fertility rate in the world, 38 in Africa, coupled with the sharp decline in mortality, resulting in a sharp increase in the population of Africa, and as we all know, Africa is very poor, and there is a shortage of food, per capita food is more than 300 catties, less than 1/2 of the world average, the worst is that the United States in the American Federation, Brazil, two once major food exporters, is now forced to keep large quantities of food at home to feed its own people due to population explosion, leaving Africa unable to buy food even if it has money. Although China's grain production has increased substantially, it has not been exported, but kept for its own use, and the excess is hoarded, you know, China is now encouraging fertility, coupled with the sharp drop in mortality, the population is also exploding, in the past 12 months, the number of births is 47.1 million, the number of deaths is 500,000, and the overseas Chinese have also returned to 27 million, and the net increase in population has reached a terrifying 73.6 million, which is still without counting the population of the countries that have been recently annexed!
The African people are now screaming with hunger, which makes the newborn African Federation a headache, at this time, some people have a whimsical idea, can we transform the African desert into an oasis for the production of food? As soon as this idea was put forward, the eyes of the people in charge of the African Federation lit up, because this completely worked, the Africans could not do it, but China has this technology, and the deserts in China have now become oases, and the future technology company has also developed genetically modified crops that are very suitable for the cultivation of this desert transformed oasis, including rice, Corn, peanuts, potatoes and sweet potatoes are more than twice as productive as ordinary crops, but Chinese consumers are very resistant to genetically modified agricultural products, resulting in these genetically modified crops currently only being grown in experimental fields. Chinese don't eat it, but we Africans can eat it, we are all about to starve to death, where can we manage so much!
"You have to go to the Chinese for help!"
The African federation unanimously agreed, and on October 1, the president of the African federation led a large delegation to China. This is the first high-level visit between the seven major forces after the formation of the new pattern of the earth, which has attracted a lot of attention.
The media have speculated that Africa is having a hard time now, while China is thriving, and the African Federation may have come to China to make a relationship, and may even want to join China.
The domestic people are also very concerned about this, and have said that they can provide appropriate support a little, but not too much, and if the African Federation really wants to join China, it must refuse, because the countries that China currently accepts basically belong to the Chinese civilization circle in the past, and it is easy to assimilate, but Africans are different, and if they really accept it, I am afraid that there will be a series of problems. Moreover, Africans are too lazy, after eating and drinking, they either sing and dance, or hide at home to raise children, and the contribution they can make after joining China is probably very limited, and the biggest possibility is that most people live on the minimum security money, which increases the burden on China.
However...... Both the media and the domestic public guessed wrong.
The President of the African Federation put forward his idea to the chief directly, "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 has largely compressed the living space of Africans. In this regard, China has the technology and experience to help Africa! I hope that China will be willing to help Africa transform its desert into rich land, so that Africa will have more living space, and Africa will no longer have to worry about food problems!"
The chief smiled when he heard this, "Transforming the desert is a huge project, especially a desert like the Sahara, which requires a huge amount of money, although our country is willing to help the African people, but it is ......"
At this time, the president of the African Federation said something that the chief would never have imagined, "The 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, in fact, there is no way, Africa has no technology and capital to transform the desert, can only watch the desert area get bigger and bigger, rather than this, it is better to use one-third of the desert as a price to turn the useless, threatening human survival desert into forests, grasslands and farmland, once successful, Africa will no longer starve to death because of the food crisis.
When the chief heard this, his heart was immediately moved, one-third of Africa's desert is a piece of land of more than 3 million square kilometers, and even if he does not immigrate there, he can use all of it to grow grain, which can at least feed more than 2 billion people.
After three days of negotiations, China obtained 4.1 million square kilometers of desert from Africa, and the price was to help Africa transform the Sahara Desert, the Libyan Desert, the Raibyanai Desert, the Al Obari Desert, and other deserts into oases, and to pay an additional 410 billion yuan, an average of 100,000 yuan per kilometer! It is worth mentioning that with the increase of China's national strength, the renminbi has replaced the dollar as the world currency.
Future Technology Company also participated in the negotiations, and learned that the African Federation wanted to buy the seeds of genetically modified crops, and immediately agreed, because these seeds could not be sold in the country, perhaps when the Africans used it for a few years, the domestic people found that the Africans had no accidents, and they would slowly accept these genetically modified crops. Having said that, genetically modified crops are the trend of the times, at least the crops planted on Mars will all be genetically modified crops, because ordinary crops on the earth cannot adapt to the Martian environment at all, and even the animals that are ready to be put on Mars will be genetically modified, and the humans who will immigrate to Mars in the future will also be genetically modified, 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 world was shocked.
The leaders of the Federation of Asia and the Federation of Europe are exclaiming that China is about to start a new round of expansion again, and that it has added 4.1 million square kilometers of land at once, which is simply brutal! Although it is still a desert where birds don't, China has already proved that they have the technology to transform the desert, and in a few years, these deserts will be turned into forests, grasslands, and farmland.
Some foreign media also worry that China's move is a signal of a new round of expansion, and that various federations need to be vigilant.
There are also foreign media who believe that this deal between China and Africa is a good thing for the future, because it takes a lot of seawater to transform deserts such as the Sahara into oases, which can reduce the sea level. In the United States, metropolises such as New York are in danger of disappearing into the water. In addition, transforming the desert into an oasis allows plants to absorb carbon dioxide and reduce the greenhouse effect, which is also a great merit for the human environment. Finally, the global population is exploding, and transforming deserts into food-producing places that can feed more people is also good news for humanity.
There are also foreign media who have called for China to have the ability to comprehensively transform the earth, and the federations around the world and China should sit together to discuss matters related to the transformation of the earth, after all, even if human beings can immigrate to planets such as Mars, the earth is also a rare treasure land, and it is the most suitable place for human survival. In the past, if the earth was not transformed, the main reason was that there were too many countries and it was difficult to distribute benefits, but now there are only six federations and one country left in the world, and the benefits are much easier to distribute!
Foreign people have once again felt the power of China, but they have become numb to it, and in the past two years, China has done so many earth-shattering things that it is not too shocking to buy deserts and transform the Sahara. It's just that they inevitably have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, if only their motherland could be so strong!
No matter what outsiders think, the people at home support it 100 percent, because it is 4.1 million square kilometers of land, and it was sent to the door by the African Federation on its own initiative. )
