Chapter 841: Dragon Slaying Technique
Great desert.
It was a barren place, but now, this place is actually endless green. That's not the point, because as long as you spend a lot of money on high-desert agriculture, it's not impossible.
The point is that this large area of green is now sustainable green because it uses an eco-sphere water recycling system. All the crops are shrouded in a small dome with a diameter of 10 x 10 meters.
Originally, it was only used to breed fish and shrimp with high economic value, but now, it has entered a new era, and rice is grown under a small dome!
Libya Oblast now has the world's largest glassware manufacturing plant, specializing in the supply of small domes for zero-water agriculture. The huge automated production capacity can turn quartz sand, the most indispensable raw material in the desert, into a container for growing rice.
And the soil used to grow rice comes from the fertile sediment washed down from the upper reaches of the Nile River when the Nile River floods, and it is extremely inhumane, extremely cheap, and the output is almost comparable to that of mechanized agriculture in the United States.
The Mediterranean Sea was once the most important birthplace of human agricultural civilization, because of its pleasant climate, long and dry winters, and a variety of plants evolved fat seeds to survive the winter, and they could be preserved for a whole winter, which is the key to the occurrence of agriculture.
Now, the Mediterranean Empire has brought back the king of agriculture here, and no longer has to rely on the super-mechanized agriculture of North America.
Here, several agricultural mechanical engineers discuss how to invent a machine that can directly remove mature rice from the ears without harming the rice itself, so that the nutrients needed to construct the rice can be conserved and continue to grow next year, delaying the time of soil poisoning.
They debated with scientists who wanted to use straw for animal husbandry.
Right next door, several engineers were tasked with studying how to create an ecosystem for fish farming in paddy fields. It is better to have a system that does not need much care and will automatically hatch and grow in the coming year to reduce the burden of large-scale farming.
These are all clips of the video of the Libyan State Ministry of Agriculture promoting its political achievements, and the people feel that Libya is getting more and more abundant food. This great desert country has ridiculously become the breadbasket of North Africa, and it has even been exported to the Nile Delta in Egypt.
"Don't be surprised if that day you look at us in Libya from space and see a patch of green, because our current technology could indeed turn the whole of Libya into a grain growing area," the agriculture ministry official laughed. According to our estimates, it is possible that within 10 years, Libya will develop fertile land comparable to that of India.
And India has the largest arable area in the world. I mean: demand is just a piece of cake. ”
After visiting Libya, an official from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also lamented: "If the entire Sahara Desert becomes an agricultural model like Libya, our estimate of the upper limit of the human population of 8 billion may be too conservative, at least several times." ”
Needless to say, driven by various large industries, there are millions of parts in a large TA aircraft alone, and trying to build factories with their own factories or by letting various suppliers build factories, coupled with such a terrifying scale of investment, M's strong economic growth has made economists stunned and doubtful of life.
How can an empire built by terrorists be in the form of a great good, not a small good, but a great good?
At least in terms of irreplaceable industry, Li Xiantai has established an industrial closed loop in North Africa, and strategic industries can be solved by themselves.
Turkey has taken the initiative to make a documentary on this terrible neighbor called "The Mediterranean Super Empire".
It can turn deserts into oases in agriculture; It can occupy the top of the high-tech food chain in industry; It controls the world's most important oil and gas producers; It controls shipping across the globe;
It can defeat any opponent militarily; The most mysterious thing is that no one knows who has done all this amazing feat......
The Mediterranean empire no longer needs to conquer the weak neighbors around it, Niger, Chad, etc., and the citizens of these weak neighbors have crossed the border to North Africa to earn a living, and the North African empire does not refuse immigrants and enters the immigration process.
On the other hand, in Europe, it is the euro that has collapsed, the currency has been unified but not the financial policy has been unified, and greed has made the deficit of the three friends of the golden pig staggering.
It is embarrassing that a large number of Europeans have to go to North Africa to find work.
Originally, wearing the veil was despised by Europeans, but now it has become fashionable, because North African women like to do it.
In fact, M's omnipotence is an illusion, and what is really powerful is that Li Xiantai uses a shredder programming system, integrates the global intellectual elite through the magic mirror Internet, and often uses the ability of cyborg Saber to develop high-tech so that the West is dumbfounded.
Here in North Africa, due to the problems of education in the natural sciences, less than 5% of the intellectual labor was contributed to the M Empire.
Once Li Xiantai has mastered enough territory and has a good strategic depth, he will no longer be too interested in attacking cities and plundering land, and will be more interested in studying the plan for the decisive battle of the apocalypse.
For example, how to filter highly radioactive polluted air, even when the world is full of mushrooms, you can escape the end of mankind through closed dome cities and underground cities.
Let's not forget that Afghanistan's underground cities have been going on for a long time and are now quite large.
Externally, M is repairing relations with many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Italy, and the issue of compensation for those who have suffered from the war is on the agenda, trying to win international recognition.
Internally, gubernatorial elections are in full swing in various states. This is equivalent to the election of the heads of state of these countries, which attracted many voters. However, in order to maintain order, candidates can only speak to residents in a magic mirror or holographic projector, and are not allowed to hold large-scale gatherings.
In response to some gubernatorial candidates, who are in charge of the election, M's interior minister said: "We are glad to see that some gubernatorial candidates have the ability to think independently, which is a precious quality."
Not only will we open the door to them, and we will even allow foreign arms dealers to sell weapons to the states that choose these governors, but the voters will have to figure out what the outcome of the war will be and what the consequences will be. ”
This one...... Well, no voter can afford the bitter fruits of war, and these candidates have lost the favor of voters.
There are also candidates who preach religious dominance and have been warned by the Home Office that violating anyone's freedom of religion will be unconstitutional and that their candidacy will be disqualified.
Among the various electoral chaos, the most bizarre is the Home Office's plan to manage election bribery.
The Ministry of the Interior believes that bribery is inevitable, and since it is inevitable, it should simply be legalized, and all voters can put their votes up for auction, and the Ministry of the Interior has even set up an auction system to develop a market maker system so that votes can circulate more freely in the market.
But if a candidate wants to buy votes, he or she must submit an application stating his source of funds, what the demands of the financier are, and what kind of profit will be brought to the financier. If the candidate is not clear, the purchase application will not be approved, all of this is open and transparent, and the voters who sell the votes can balance the gains and losses themselves.
Similarly, corruption is legal, and governors can openly bid on one of their policies, bidding on profiteers across the state, and the price gets. Profiteers who participate in the bidding also have to pay a deposit.
But how do you check and balance legitimate corruption? It turns out that the Ministry of the Interior has also developed a DKP system (Dragon-Kill-Points), which obtains DKP according to the amount of tax paid, but even if they do not pay taxes, legal voters have 1,000 points, which is equivalent to 1,000M currency units (about the same as the dollar).
Each voter can initiate an opposition to a bill in the DKP system, and as long as a certain number of DKP supports it, the supporter can start a DKP duel to veto the bill.
Behind this political system is a well-intentioned good lord, because he is the biggest taxpayer of M, DKP is bursting, he can use DKP to blow up all political opponents, the other party doesn't even have a little temper, we pay more taxes, and we don't accept to fight.
Of course, under normal circumstances, he would not compete with voters for something, which is the anchor of the wonderful political system.
In the aftermath of the first gubernatorial election, the Western media rushed to report on the unprecedented DKP political system of the emerging empire.
They have seen firsthand how this unboiled and magical country is fighting in the media for voters' DKP, and some of the more grumpy lawmakers are fighting in the state legislature.
Seeing these pictures, the name of the Qing Royal Television Station said: "I guess that the founder of the Mediterranean Empire must have had the feeling that 'all the heroes of the world are in my place'." ”
While the empire was in full swing, their space industry was also gaining momentum, as they had already tested the Black Sea satellite launch pad on the territory of their ally Turkey and began to deploy the space station on a large scale.
It is expected to invest 50 billion yuan to build a space city that can accommodate 1,000 people within five years, and the name will be called the United States of the Mediterranean Space City, so that the empire can show off its space strength.
In addition to using satellite-launched catapults for supplies, the Empire will use plasma thrusters to create space buses that will travel daily between Space City and Athens, the kingdom of Empire.
The space station, according to the MSA, will continue to increase in size, and when it reaches 100,000 people, it will turn humanity into a quasi-transplanetary civilization that can withstand large-scale natural disasters at the planetary level.
Because agriculture in Space City will be sustainable, at least for a hundred years.
