Chapter 245: Feelings

Downing is not doing nothing about the forest fires in Oregon, he is planning the first artificial rain in history, but because the success rate is uncertain, he has not said anything to the media, just raising dry ice and airships around the world. {Starter}

Dry ice is carbon dioxide below minus 78. The solid form at 5 degrees Celsius will directly sublimate into gas when it warms up, and it is never "wet", so it is called "dry ice". When it sublimates, it causes the temperature around it to drop dramatically, and when dry ice is sprinkled on the clouds, the small water droplets in the clouds are frozen into many Xiaoice crystals, causing more water vapor to condense on them, turn into raindrops, and fall to the ground. Therefore, dry ice is an environmentally friendly artificial rain catalyst.

Obviously, a local rain cannot extinguish the forest fire, so either it will not be done, or a big one will come, and it can only be done once, and I am afraid that it will not be able to organize another large-scale artificial rainfall. Downing's companies have some of the world's most advanced gas manufacturing industries, from the earliest nitrogen used to fill light bulbs, to the helium that can only be extracted by deep freezing.

Carbon dioxide can be used for rapid food freezing, liquefied carbon dioxide can be used to extinguish fires, it can also be used as a shielding gas for welding, foaming agent in the plastics industry, filled in sealed cans to preserve food, and other industries closely related to Windsor companies need it, so the source is not a problem.

Since hydrogen fuel cells require a large number of one-time forming hydrogen storage tanks, there are also no bottlenecks in preserving dry ice. The most stressful thing is the number of airships available for operation. This time, 10 "Pisces" airship cranes were dispatched, carrying dozens of tons of dry ice from 10 directions, and they began to move on the edge of the fuel where the fire was most intense.

There is also a supervised beluga-class airship watching not far away, and the staff are very curious, this is not okay. To be honest, Tang Ning didn't have a bottom in his heart. The 10 rain-making airships are commanded by meteorologists from various countries, or "blind command", which is better than no command at all.

The commander-in-chief, Mr. Tang, is located in Air Force One at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and most of the fire scene can already be seen from this position. After giving the command to "start", he and Linfell, who was beside him, took a high-powered telescope to look around, sometimes tracking the rain-making airship and watching the raging fire inside.

The assistant next to him muttered, "Isn't it just right to grow crops when they are burned?" ”

Tang Ning scolded with a smile: "Work hard!" Can't save it and talk about this kind of thing again...... It's been burning for three days now, and it's estimated that it's enough to grow a large crop. ”

The assistant was still pinching his fingers to convert, and Linfield blurted out: "1200 square kilometers." ”

The assistant looked at the map for a long time, and the number he got was about 1200, and he couldn't help but admire the little junior sister.

After half an hour of dredom, the buddy who drove Air Force One suddenly shouted: "Boss! It's really raining! Oh hoo~"

Tang Ning said calmly: "Maybe it's just partial, it depends on whether there is good news elsewhere." ”

Telegrams came from the airships at various observation points one after another, and not only was it raining, but it was quite large, and the momentum was good.

Only the assistant who thinks in the opposite direction is saying cool words: "It seems that this time you can only get 1,200 square kilometers of arable land." ”

The Reuters reporter next to him excitedly recorded this historic moment, the great god is the great god, and even the thing of calling for wind and rain has really been done, he almost can't control that he should abide by the professional ethics of faithfully recording the facts, and add a little emotion to the press release.

As they were on their way back to California, they passed a lumberyard where several workers stood in the rain yelling excitedly at Air Force One. In order to hear what they were shouting, Air Force One descended a few dozen meters away, and the reverse thinking assistant shouted at the lumberjacks: "Why are you still here?" Didn't you already be told to evacuate? If it hadn't rained, you would have been scorched! ”

The lumberjack's lead brother exclaimed excitedly, "We only came back when we saw that it was raining!" I'm cǎo, you guys really made it rain, it's amazing! ”

They shouted again, and everyone laughed, because the slogan they were shouting was "Windsor".

Lin Fei smiled: "They are so enthusiastic. ”

Seeing the beautiful girl poking out her head, the workers were even more excited, and someone threw up their hats, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

This moment is so harmonious, Downing touched: "My people ......"

Air Force One didn't have the word "Air Force One" written on it, only the Indian flying fox logo, and the workers didn't know that their Windsor was in the airship. Because of the enthusiasm he met for the pioneers of the west, Tang Ning said to everyone: "Cars are very important, if the fire really burns, those who don't have cars may not be able to escape." ”

Assistant: "Those guys have a pickup truck. ”

Downing: "Well, but it's not popular enough, I'm going to reduce the pickup to ...... $50. "That's about £10, which is the same price as a suspension balloon.

Linfield understood his feelings of having fun with the people, but reminded him, "Can this still make money?" ”

Downing: "Of course you can, it's sustainable to make money." There are more cars, and hydrogen filling stations can make a lot of money. Therefore, high-end cars that can charge themselves should be sold more expensively. Recently, there are two new cars to be released, and I have already thought of giving these two off-road vehicles wild names, the entry-level ones are called 'Maned Wolves', the high-end ones are called 'Jaguars', and the factories are located in Brazil, and they all have their own energy self-sustaining equipment that integrates water and electricity. The price is the same as that of the GT. Buy a car and send ants to collect balls, haha, enjoy life freely in the wild, this is the real life. ”

Infected by the unrestrained "management style" of the Emperor of Windsor, the Reuters reporter who was not familiar with the Emperor finally let go of his arms and said the truth: "The integrated collection equipment of water and electricity is really powerful, and I think this is the most revolutionary product in recent years." With it, you can enjoy a life with water and electricity everywhere you go, which is true freedom. ”

The assistant also came to take a picture: "That is, the sunny but water-scarce part of Los Angeles is growing very fast, and many newcomers like to go to LA to bask in the sun." ”

Historically, Los Angeles developed on a large scale because of the digging of canals to bring a large amount of water from the Colorado River, and now the great development of Los Angeles is directly carried out, because the establishment of the large water tower of hydropower integration has solved this big problem in advance. And the Colorado River will no longer be massively salinized as water levels drop.

The most important thing is to achieve large-scale decentralization of human settlements, which makes Downing very pleased, he doesn't like the scene of skyscrapers in the metropolis, which seems to represent the modernization of human society, but that kind of life is ******, scattered villas live, there are flowers, grass and space is the favorite scene in the heart of human beings. In Tang Ning's view, "urbanization" is the manifestation of poverty and scarcity, and a society that lacks water, electricity, sewerage, medical care, education, and efficient logistics needs to be crowded together on a large scale.

When Downing pronounced this strange idea, everyone felt very different. If we do not engage in "urbanization", should we still engage in "ruralization"? Haha, interesting. Of course, the assistant joked: "Wen doesn't say that he is doing ruralization, but he may also be able to do it if he is engaged in 'tribalization'." ”

Linfield: "What do you mean by tribalization?" ”

The assistant opened his brain: "Send a chief to manage a vote of people, and then get a priest, it will be a real tribe, haha!" ”

Everyone was rejoicing, and Tang Ning continued: "Of course it's possible, isn't there a large number of African graduates in our International School Park?" Send them back to the African tribe to be the chief, if the old chief is not convinced, everyone will try to compete, for example, who is stronger, we send a Pisces crane to help the little chief compete, and suddenly lift the 40-ton boulder, the old chief is instantly served, isn't it? ”

Everyone was even happier, and they all said that this plan was feasible.

Tang Ning continued: "After seizing power, we will send another medical school graduate to be a priest, priest or something, in fact, when the chiefs are sick, they will be prescribed some medicine, there is nothing difficult to do, when the chiefs have a headache and brain fever, the old priest jumps for a long time without effect, and the new priest really can't stand it, so he takes out aspirin enteric-coated tablets from his pocket, and after five minutes, the chiefs are alive, and naturally a new divine right is erected." ”

The audience leaned back in laughter. Tang Ning was still unsatisfied, and said: "In order to make the tribe more literate, we should also send a rural teacher, she brought a slide and a gramophone to combine things, and the daily teaching content is to show standard teaching materials to the dolls to ensure the quality of teaching." Tsk, all three things are alive, the chief had better be a law school graduate, as long as there are these three people, a lawyer, a doctor, and a teacher, the whole tribe will basically step into modern civilization, isn't it easy? ”

Hearing what he said more and more truthfully, Linfil wondered, "You're not telling the truth, are you?" ”

Reuters: "Is that slide and gramophone combined, is it real?" ”

Downing: "Not yet, but soon there will be, and besides, I want every village under my rule to have a suspension balloon, except for the chief, doctors and teachers can live in nearby towns, take balloons to and from work, or work overtime for emergencies, therefore, they are qualified doctors and teachers at the city level, and each village has a telegraph machine kept by the chief, and in some villages, the doctor can be absent at ordinary times, and only make appointments, and the hospitals in the towns can dispatch suitable specialists according to the approximate condition of the appointment, Medical services are basically the same in villages and towns. ”

The assistant immediately calculated: "Who pays for this money?" ”

Downing: "Windsor companies come out, and the government can give tax cuts, if they agree to this plan." We don't have to pay as much tax as we want, anyway, let's do it, I'm just joking, and it's not a business. I want to close the gap between urban and rural areas and let remote areas live a high quality of life. ”

The assistant seems to often help the boss settle accounts, and he is afraid that the boss will suffer a loss and then deduct the bonus for him. ”

Just when everyone was moved by Wen's feelings, Tang Ning was about to start his business, he said: "All the previous qiē are to pave the way for business, the purpose is to use government money to connect the line of the suspension balloon to every village and tribe, and then ...... In order to infiltrate the outlets of the wind bird mail order to all these places, the village chief with a telegraph is responsible for shopping for the illiterate villagers, wow, in this way, the business of the mail order company is really like the capillaries of the earth, reaching every place where there are human beings, what a great business! ”

The assistant added: "Then analyze which village has strong spending power, whether to open a 24-hour convenience store there, or put a vending machine, I think this business can be done." ”

After the feelings changed, the Reuters reporter reluctantly asked: "Actually, this is a win-win business, isn't it?" ”

In Linfield's snickering, Tang Ning said with a straight face: "Of course! Do you think that our Wind Bird mail order company is just to make money for ourselves? Wrong! We are a telegram shopping platform, all merchants can start business through the guò platform, business is a qiē, not only us, not only merchants, villagers can also do business if they have any goods they can get, at least ...... Theoretically, yes. ”

Seeing the reporter's skeptical eyes, the assistant helped the boss: "It's so good!" I think the greatest thing about the suspension balloon is that it can be both a rural passage for mail and parcels, and a traffic artery comparable to the main artery of Siberia, which is actually a perfect combination of small and large. The village chief can organize the villagers to harvest the crops uniformly, and then summon the merchants to buy them by telegram and participate in the exchange of the whole market. (http://)。 ”

Just when the reporter was very excited, Tang Ning reminded them: "The current suspension traffic cannot be unified, so the suspension cable of the suspension balloon cannot be regarded as a major artery, and their structure is different." The suspension balloon is autopiloted, which emphasizes the high attendance rate, and can summon 'taxis' cheaply and conveniently even in the middle of the night, while the main artery has high requirements for the airship itself, emphasizing the large-tonnage trunk traffic.

Due to the high density of vehicles, the suspension balloon needs to be scheduled with the line as the center, otherwise chaos will occur, while the main artery is much freer, and can even temporarily fly free from the line when passing through the valley and river. The speed is different, the degree of freedom is different, and the current technology cannot connect them. ”

The assistant was a little embarrassed and said, "But it will be connected in the future, right?" ”

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "The future...... Or in the world of suspended pipes, haven't you noticed that maglev is not only faster, but also quieter? The biggest fear in the city is noise, so the future of the metropolis can only be magnetic levitation technology. ”
