Text Chapter 0623 Science Maniac

Tonight is Wang Mumu's big report on "Looking at the World, Looking Forward to the Future, Changing the World, and Benefiting Mankind". The Harvard auditorium was full of people. On the one hand, they were preparing to take notes, and on the other hand, they heard that today's report meeting also opened a channel, that is, the audience could hand notes or ask questions directly on the topic of the speaker, and interact with the questions.

There was a map hanging on the podium in the auditorium, which was not a global map that Wang Mumu had memorized based on the memories of his previous life. Because Wang Mumu still wants to hide his secrets in the new continent of America. Therefore, the map on the stage is Asia, Europe, Africa and the poles, and there is not even Australia. In order to "keep pace with the times", Wang Mumu deliberately drew rough and blurry, and tried to get closer to some of the maps that Little Dani provided him. Some of the accounts here reminded the dignitaries of their court collections of parchments and clay tablets from ancient Babylon and ancient Egyptians, as well as bronze plates from Alexander the Great.

As soon as this map was presented, Zhu Simao of the Chola Kingdom of India was surprised, it turned out that 13,400 years ago, Alexander the Great's Macedonian army tirelessly sent a special team to lead the way to draw maps in search of gold, and they were at the front of the legion, constantly reporting how far their legion was from the gold of India. The Indians are baffled, how come the foreigners thousands of miles away know the terrain here better than the aborigines? Historically, Indian culture also has a long history, and they are also good at learning, but their energy is spent on Buddhist scriptures, they disdain worldly facts, thinking that people's livelihood and people's affairs really can't enter the eyes of the Buddha, empty, empty, so that the glorious Nalanda, how big? Where is it? Later generations did not know anything, and the classics at that time only recorded the saying, but did not write a word about its geographical location and scale. Later historians could only rely on the notes of Tang Xuanzang, who traveled from afar, to restore the second Nalanda.

The dignitaries of Europe were also wide-eyed as they pondered the map in front of them, which was very different from the Pottinger map they could see today, with no krakens, mermaids, headless devils, snorting unicorns, giant whales squirting water, winged half-eagles, half-horse monsters, and so on.

The Arabs in the audience watched carefully, and Khayyam, the head of the Seljuk scholars, was tracing plagiarism; And Boccaccio in Italy was very dismissive, saying, what a thing, what a boring and useless scientific exploration, you know the shortest route from the mouth of the Rhine to the mouth of the Danube, so what? Why don't you find your way to heaven if you have the skills? ”

Wang Mumu has already spoken: "...... All of you here, please look here, this is our Hengduan Mountains in China, because it is separated from the east and west traffic, so it is called "Hengduan". The Hengduan Mountains are high and deep, running from north to south, allowing the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean to enter our country, bringing abundant rain, resulting in the Nu River, the Lancang River, and the Jinsha River. There are four seasons in a mountain here, ten miles of different days, and there are three scenic spots of heat, temperature and cold. As a result, the current Dali country is rich in vegetation, flourishing forests, beautiful mountains and rivers, and has a pleasant climate. However, we have shifted our gaze 1,000 kilometers westward, which is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the Tibetan states are now located. There is the Himalayas, the roof of the world. It completely separated India from Tibet, where the mountain passes were steep and steep, the mules and horses were afraid to move forward, the snow did not melt for half the year, the temperature was below -30 degrees Celsius, and the storms swept over the desolate salt lakes, and the snow and flying sand cast a gray shadow over the locals.

In fact, Dali is not very far from Tibet, why is one like heaven and one like hell? That's because the Himalayas are east-west, and the Hengduan Mountains are north-south. There is a great man who once wrote lyrics to read Nujiao, saying: Born out of thin air, reckless Kunlun, read the spring of the world. Three million jade dragons flew up, stirring up Zhou Tian's cold. Summer melts, rivers overflow, people or fish and turtles. Thousands of meritorious crimes, who have commented with them. Now I call Kunlun, don't want this high, don't want this snow. Ande drew his sword and cut you into three? One is left to Europe, one is given to the United States, and one is returned to the East. The world is peaceful, and the world is hot and cold.

This is a bold imagination and a novel and interesting idea and discussion. The mind is heroic enough, and the imagination is strange enough. In fact, if the word 'Kunlun' is changed to "Himalayas" here; Changing the words 'bequeathed to Europe', 'gifted to the United States', and 'returned to the eastern kingdom' to 'bequeathed the Domain', 'gifted Chola', and 'returned to Hara Khan' is more in line with our discussion today.

We at Harvard now have a project to study whether it is possible to blow the Himalayas out, and you have already seen the power of the Siamese queen Helen the Younger's long-distance bombing of ships and seas. If the teachers and students of our school go all out and work together, then it will be able to blow up one or N very large openings in the Himalayas, introduce the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean, and transform the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't it a great merit for the benefit of mankind and future generations? ……”

Wang Mumu's birth shocked the audience in the audience, especially the Tufan, Harakhan, Huangtou Hui, Gaochang Uighur, Dali, Pandia, Chola and Seljuk Empires.

Pan Changjiang said: "Okay! In this way, our Indian Pandia will not be too hot in the summer, and the skin will be better when there is more rain. ”

Zhu Simao of the Zhu Luo Kingdom, who had different hearts, said in reverse: "What is good? Don't blow us here as cold as a spit! ”

The Zhangxiong of Tubo Guge was most fond of this plan, and said: "Lord, it's good now, the cold wind can go south, the warm wind can go north, the rain will increase, the climate will be warmer, the grass and trees will be lush, the cattle and sheep will be prosperous, Lord Mumu, when will you start?" ”

The representative of the Huangtou Hui asked: "Lord, is it like that, the warm and humid air of the Indian Ocean can cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it will rain in Tarim?" Can Turbo also grow rice? ”

Khayyam, the wise leader of the Seljuks, said, "Is this all right? Have you ever been on a field trip? Specifically calculated? Theoretically, an explosion is just a matter of making things smaller. If you blow up a mountain pass, isn't it just another mountain? Of course, it's also good that you blow up a mountain gorge with directional blasting. However, with a mountain of several thousand meters and a thickness of several thousand meters, the hole to be blown up must be at least a few tens of kilometers wide. Have you calculated the quantity of earthwork? Have you calculated the flow of goods? Has the blast yield been calculated? ”

Wang Mumu said: "Okay, everyone, the topic just now just shows that we feel that we can make a difference there, how to do it, whether it is to blow up a mountain pass, or open a big hole, or other scientific and technological measures to use temperature difference and position difference to regenerate energy, which is better or worse, this has to invite people of insight from all over the world to participate in the demonstration, after all, the earth is the common home of our earthlings." Okay, this topic is a topic that Asians are more concerned about, and now I will talk about a topic that Europeans will be more concerned about, which is to transform the Mediterranean. Many of you here are from the Mediterranean coast, have you ever thought about it? In this sea of about 4,000 kilometers from east to west, 1,800 kilometers from north to south, with an area of more than 7 million square kilometers, only the 21-kilometer-wide Strait of Gibraltar is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, so the Mediterranean Sea is basically completely closed. If the Strait of Gibraltar were to be blocked again, the Mediterranean Sea would be an inland sea. Ladies and gentlemen, the Mediterranean Sea in your eyes is rippling, but a long time ago, there was no water in the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by steep cliffs, was a closed basin with many deserts in the basin. About 5.5 million years ago, the Earth's crust changed dramatically, and a trickle of water poured from the Atlantic Ocean into the Mediterranean desert through a gap in the Strait of Gibraltar, which encloses the Mediterranean Sea. With the continuous movement of the earth's crust and the strong impact and erosion of the waves, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, causing the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean to rush over the steep cliffs and flow straight down, forming huge waterfalls. With the Mediterranean Sea averaging 1,400 meters below sea level and its deepest point 4,000 meters below sea level, you can imagine what a majestic waterfall it would be, 100 times larger than Niagara Falls, the world's largest waterfall today. But even on such a large scale, it would take hundreds of years to fill the Mediterranean Sea to this extent. The desert has become the sea, the creatures have swam back, the wasteland has become a scenic spot, and it has become what everyone sees now.

Even now, although there are many rivers such as the Nile, the RhΓ΄ne, and the Ebro that flow into the Mediterranean, because the Mediterranean is in the subtropics, the evaporation is too great, far exceeding the replenishment of river water and rainwater, so that the water income of the Mediterranean is not as much as the expenditure, and without the continuous supply of water from the Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea will dry up in about 300 years, and become a huge salty pit again......"

Wang Mumu's "alarmism" frightened the guests from the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean became salty and pitted, which brought too many problems. Existing ports will be farther and farther away from the sea, fishing revenues will be nil and zero, countries with the Mediterranean as a barrier will face off against land bandits, and countries with navies will have to transform their services......

Adidas of Holy Rome was one of those who was frightened, and he asked, "Lord Harvard, why do you want to block Gibraltar when the Mediterranean Sea will become a big salty pit?" ”

Wang Mumu: "I didn't say that I want to block Gibraltar now!" I'm just saying, what if that's the case? And, now, on the contrary, I want to open up the Suez Canal and turn the Mediterranean, which was now only one external access, into two external access. The Suez Canal would not only save Europeans more than 10,000 kilometers of dangerous sea routes to Asia, but would also do much to balance the water supply in the Mediterranean. As for the difference in temperature and salinity of the seawater, the regular exchange of seawater between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean will form a circulation of up to 7,000 cubic meters of seawater per second, which is a kind of green energy, and we Harvard people are willing to develop and utilize it together with the indigenous people of the Mediterranean......"

Sophie Mar of France could not understand this, so he asked, "Excuse me, wise sir, you are talking about the circulation between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and on the surface of the sea, the waters flow from the Atlantic into the Mediterranean; How is it possible that seawater flows from the Mediterranean Sea back to the Atlantic? ”

Wang Mumu: "Lovely Uncle Ma, this is not something that may be impossible, but something that has objectively existed for millions of years. Because, the Mediterranean Sea has hot and dry summers and mild and humid winters, and the Mediterranean evaporation is large, and the salinity of the Mediterranean Sea is higher, the density is high, and the water surface is lower, while the sea water in the Atlantic Ocean is less salinity than the Mediterranean, and the density is less, and the water surface is higher than that of the Mediterranean. As a result, the Atlantic Ocean is higher and the Mediterranean Sea is lower, and the surface waters of the Atlantic Ocean flow into the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar, and the bottom waters of the Mediterranean Ocean flow into the Atlantic Ocean from the bottom of the Strait. This is called density flow ...... that causes differences in the density of seawater due to differences in the temperature and salinity of seawater in different seawaters.

At this time, Merek Everdler of the Fatimid dynasty spoke: "Dear prince, in fact, the Suez Canal was opened by Ptolemy II as early as 250 BC. In the years that followed, it was improved, destroyed, rebuilt, silted, and for war and economic reasons, abandoned in the 8th century for the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur of the Arab Empire. Now that you are interested, we are willing to cooperate and re-open the Suez Canal......"

Wang Mumu: "Okay! This is a good thing, let's talk about it in detail after the specific meeting, and we will ask Ye Mi Die to be the contact person for this project, okay? ”

Wang Mumu's two projects have stunned Europeans, Africans, and East and Central Asians, and the West Asians in the audience thought, why don't we have our welfare? The Ghaznavid Iraq of Greater Iran asked, "O multifunctional prince, do you have any good ideas for us who live in the desert?" ”

Wang Mumu thought, you? Quite simply, oil! But I can't casually leak the heavenly opportunity now, judging from the emergencies of the past two days, I am reminded of an old saying of the Chinese, I can't afford to provoke, I can hide, some of you are very tenacious in doing things. So, I'm revising my energy plan these days. As for your desert, there is a little immature idea, so I will come down and ask for directions: "My lord, this desert is really not a good thing, it cannot be planted, it is not suitable for living, it is all because the sun in the desert is too strong, and the water is evaporated and there is no vegetation, if the desert on the earth is turned into a huge mirror, then the blazing sunlight will be reflected back into space." So, when we have the conditions, we can spread reflective materials on the more than one million square kilometers of land in the Sahara Desert to reflect more sunlight back into space, so that the earth will become cooler.

Of course, it is very expensive to spread reflective materials on more than one million square kilometers of land, and it is necessary to have strong national strength and a good international environment. So, before this project was implemented, I had a much smaller junior project that could be used as a stepping stone for this type of development. The specific design is to take 3,500 acres of land as a unit, and erect mirrors on it, each mirror should have 6.5 square meters, a total of 170,000 faces. These mirrors focus the large amount of sunlight collected on the 3 water-filled towers, raising the towers to temperatures above 378Β°C, which can provide heat and pressure energy to my machines......

In addition, for desert areas and some islands that lack fresh water, I have a good way, which is to go to Antarctica to pull icebergs over, and then lock them in a closed harbor, seal the entrance, drain part of the original seawater, and after the icebergs melt, you will get an inland freshwater lake! ……”

Khayyam of Seljuk couldn't have imagined that Wang Mumu would have such a bizarre and daring crazy idea, but it seemed to be quite reasonable, he was serious, so he asked: "Magical prince, I asked, I heard that the ice field of Antarctica is all connected into pieces, and it is a piece of ice, do you want to do it again, burn and bomb, and break off a piece from the big ice?" Even if you can break it off, how can you transport it thousands of miles away? Who can build a ship that big? Who can lift the iceberg up and down the ship? ”

Wang Mumu: "Wise Lord Hai, you must have noticed our big ship, which travels without sails or oars. It sails on a set of machines in its belly. We can place this ship-capable movement in a proper place in Antarctica, such as in the middle and rear of a small peninsula in the Antarctic ice sheet. Then make the ice peninsula break off from the ice sheet. Isn't the broken peninsula just a big iceboat? I start the engine, I drive the broken mountain-like peninsula back to my destination like a big ship, I don't have to build a super ship, I don't have to lift and unload, isn't that okay? ”

Khayyam continued: "Magical prince, I noticed that your freshwater dispenser only mentions the South Pole, not the North Pole, think about it, it makes sense. Countries and regions close to the Arctic are not short of water. And the water-scarce Middle East and Africa, such as with the ice of the Arctic, once circumnavigated, far farther than the South Pole. But if you pull ice from Antarctica to Eurasia, you have to go through the equator. Don't you worry about traveling thousands of miles, and finally the ice will melt on the road? ”

Wang Mumu: "What a smart Hai Daren, congratulations on the fact that you have already thought about this issue in the substantive quantitative stage. In response to the question you just raised, our countermeasures are: first, the power engine configured for the iceberg ice ship should be strong enough to ensure that the speed is more than 25 knots; Secondly, it is necessary to choose a well-shaped ice peninsula, and after the fracture, it should be shaped, not round, but slender, so as to reduce power loss; Moreover, the ice peninsula must be large enough to be larger than the freshwater value of the ice core left after the iceship melts all the way, and the total cost of the project can be greater; Fourth, we can also use some of the technologies that are being developed to make the icebergs drift with the currents, so that they can melt a little slower and run a little faster......
