Chapter 881: Raise your head and speak
According to the white paper submitted to the Pentagon, Titan defines the surface area of the large floating islands produced by Titan as 2,000-8,000 square kilometers, and the large floating islands will be responsible for the production of small and medium-sized floating islands - medium floating islands between 600 and 2,000 square kilometers, and small ones below 600 square kilometers. But Titan's white paper to the National Defense Committee also includes detailed information on the size of the three floating islands.
In these three types of floating islands, the iceberg structure used in both large and medium-sized areas mainly relies on the gravity core and supporting energy acquisition methods, such as tidal, wind, light, solar and thermal energy, etc., while the small one is a floating structure, and the energy mainly relies on wind, tidal energy, light energy, etc., which has removed the gravity core.
Functionally, relying on the agricultural production and fishery production system, combined with Titan's macromolecular material technology, each large floating island can support up to 8.3 million people to live on the floating islands, of course, in such a case, military control is required, and if you want a more relaxed lifestyle, the standard population of each floating island is 4.8 million people - according to Titan's white paper submitted to the National Defense Committee, these 4.8 million people refer to when the external environment does not allow, The underground part of the floating island can accommodate and sustain the number of people, and in case of an emergency, the per capita standard can be reduced to an additional 1.2 million people.
Medium-sized floating islands, on the other hand, can only provide a fraction of the food output and can accommodate up to 4 million people, compared to 2.4 million in the standard capacity, and up to 3 million people can live in an emergency. However, medium-sized floating islands do not have the capacity to produce macromolecular food, nor do they have the capacity to produce macromolecular materials, which Titan values very seriously.
Although the small floating islands also have a certain production capacity, they are mainly dependent on external supplies.
In fact, many people who have seen Titan's white paper on floating islands feel that Titan's land has been created out of thin air, and some people even speculate that Titan's floating islands are not entirely built as refuge bases, and some people who have read the National Defense Council's version of the white paper even feel that Titan's large floating islands are more like a space city......
The reason why Titan has divided into three types of floating islands is to tell some people that medium-sized and small-sized floating islands can be allowed to be used by other forces, of course, medium-sized and small-sized floating islands are naturally not controlled by Artemis in an all-round way, and their operating systems are more rudimentary, and they also need more people to maintain.
Now everyone thinks that Titan will only have one floating island, and after the construction of the floating island for the United Kingdom is completed, the Pentagon and many industrial capital groups are also preparing to purchase medium-sized floating islands from Titan - everyone understands that large floating islands are obviously Titan's core interests, so no one wants to get a large floating island. But what they don't know is that in Phoebe's vision, Titan will have four large floating islands, including Atlantic floaters, in addition to Atlantic floaters, Phoebe will also deploy large floating islands in the eastern Pacific, western Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The floating island that Phoebe gave to the British royal family is a medium-sized floating island with a surface area of 2009 square kilometers above sea level, of course, this is still a medium-sized floating island, and the reason why the number 2009 was made is entirely because Phoebe has to say that it represents the Releke family's re-opening of territory for the British royal family in 2009, and as a recipient, the royal family naturally can't pick and choose, and Phoebe also said that other medium-sized floating islands will not exceed 2000 square kilometers. The royal family is the only royal family in the world to own this one-of-a-kind medium-sized floating island...... Phoebe also kindly helped the queen set up a fixed nuclear bomb silo on the floating island, as well as facilities to connect strategic submarines and strategic bombers, of course, to American specifications......
The floating islands to be given to the British royal family have been almost built on the high seas at the junction of the North Atlantic Ocean and the southwest of the Celtic Sea, because the area has disappeared a lot, the manufacturing time has been shortened a lot, and the relatively smaller gravity core has long been activated, unlike the Atlantic floaters, the soil on it is handed over to the planting company under the royal family to operate, which also makes Titan have a lot of hearts, the only trouble is the automatic control of the gravity core, Phoebe has the leisure to control the floating islands in the hands of others, However, the British royal family photographed the candidates for operational training on the floating island, who will learn to maintain the gravity core from the engineers stationed by Titan in the next three years, and after three years, Titan will hand over the operation of the floating island to someone sent by the royal family to manage.
When explaining to the royal family, Phoebe also asked the staff of Iapetus to highlight one thing: if it is managed well, the fishery resources around the iceberg floating islands will become very rich, just as there must be a large number of marine life near coral reefs, and floating islands in the open sea can allow fish to breed in abundance. If all the daily necessities used by the residents of the floating island are products that can be quickly degraded and do not cause chemical pollution to the environment, it can even be said that all the domestic garbage on the floating island is shredded and discharged directly to the surrounding area of the floating island, so that marine microorganisms can directly absorb and utilize these garbage.
As mentioned before, Phoebe has put a lot of effort into the Atlantic Floater project, not only building an ecological structure on land and inside, but also using marine mammals, such as killer whales and pseudo-killer whales, to guard the fishing resources around the floating islands. At this time, the ecological environment of the Atlantic floaters has been so good that it has attracted a lot of seabirds and migratory birds, and there has even been a phenomenon that is contrary to the cognition of marine biologists such as sea turtles running to artificial beaches to lay eggs - sea turtles will return to their birthplaces to lay eggs is the consensus of the vast majority of marine biologists, so Phoebe told everyone not to tell the outside world about this strange phenomenon, so that some scientists and others like Greenpeace will run to die, after all, scientists are such things, and if they die too much, they will cause interference from various countries.
From the beginning of the construction of the Atlantic floaters, in addition to the attention of various countries, some environmental groups have also appeared, and some people say that floating islands will destroy the ecological balance, and will cause sea level rise or something, but a shipwreck in the vast Atlantic Ocean will not attract much attention. But Phoebe also knew that the ecological environment around the floating islands did have a great impact on Titan's plan, which is why Phoebe put so much effort into building the ecological structure around the floating islands.
Phoebe's efforts pay off, as it is generally difficult to encounter large numbers of marine life on the high seas, unless the seabed is suitable for cold water ascent, or if it is on a migratory route. The Atlantic floaters have been running for more than half a year, and the parts below sea level are projected by lights, coupled with the continuous release of nutrients by Titan, so that cyanobacteria grow in large numbers in the underwater part of the Atlantic floaters, and organisms such as polyps also take the opportunity to attach to the underwater part of the floating island, and then gradually form a coral jungle, which can allow small fish to grow here, and then make the surrounding ecological environment no different from a real coral reef - as mentioned before, the weight of the Atlantic floaters is far from the design weight, The part that has not yet been reached is reserved for corals, and although the coral jungle is far from being formed, the Atlantic Floaters were designed with artificial reef-like systems in mind.
In fact, the most critical part of this part is the underwater long-lasting lighting system, if there is no gravity core to provide stable and almost free electricity, it is impossible to provide a sun-like lighting system underwater, so that once too many nutrients are put in, it will only cause phytoplankton to consume oxygen, not oxygen, which will really cause environmental harm. Under Artemis' control, all phytoplankton in the waters around the Atlantic Floaters will perform photosynthetic growth that is beneficial to humans and marine life, absorbing a large amount of carbon and providing a better supply of oxygen to the surrounding waters.
In other words, the land and underwater parts of the Atlantic floaters absorb a lot of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that everyone thinks is bad, every year, not to mention the formation of a large-scale floating island fishing ground, so everyone who knows what Titan is doing thinks that this kind of floating island, which is extremely economical, environmentally friendly, and has military value, should not be restricted - compared to the state of nothing in the sea before the Atlantic floaters appeared, everyone understands how to choose.
And it is precisely because of this that the British royal family naturally attaches great importance to the upcoming floating islands, which is another reason why the royal family can tolerate Phoebe's "rudeness". The most important thing is that medium-sized floating islands are not controlled by artificial intelligence such as Artemis, so they need a large number of personnel to maintain, which in disguise has increased the number of people who rely on the royal family to eat, and from a certain point of view, this has also made a great contribution to maintaining the influence of the royal family.
In fact, due to the development of the economy, wherever there are still remnants of the aristocratic circle, the nobles will be more united, after all, if they do not hold together, the whole system will fall apart. Of course, Phoebe knows this, after all, she not only has a relationship with the British aristocratic circle, but also with the RB aristocratic circle as early as last year. The ultra-small floating island that is being built in the southern part of Osaka Port to connect to the land has actually aroused the idea of many RB nobles or upper-class families, but when they knew that this thing was supported by Langley Company behind the scenes, it temporarily died down, but as far as Phoebe knew, even her chosen partner, the Yamaguchi-gumi, received a lot of goodwill from the RB upper-class family, and the RB Metropolitan Police Department also suspended a lot of investigations into the Yamaguchi-gumi. There was even a resurgence of friendship between senior government officials and senior Yamaguchi-gumi officials like they did 20 years ago......
In the final analysis, Titan's floating island technology has made many people see huge benefits, including the seemingly noble existence of the British royal family, which is also driven by interests, completely abandoning the noble qualities it has always touted.
And this is the best method that Phoebe uses, which is to strike at the psychological advantage of her opponent, which can make her opponent never be able to talk to her with his head up......
