Chapter 771: Controlling Disaster Weather

"Mr. Dong Chen, the ocean is not only the cradle of life on earth, it is also the central air conditioner of life on earth, without it, there is definitely not such a suitable temperature as we have now."

"The ocean carries 90% of the heat in the Earth system, and water is the compound with the largest specific heat capacity in nature, and the ocean is able to absorb large amounts of heat without causing large temperature changes."

The most important role of the ocean in climate is that it can regulate the climate through ocean currents, and the current cycle of the entire planetary scale of the earth is the "thermohaline circulation", which is a very important system. ”

"The important power source of this system is salinity and temperature, only with the difference, the sea water will flow, will carry energy, will carry heat to the cold place, so that the cold place will not be too cold to live in, and then the other way around, so that the hot place will not be too hot, and the cold environment of the North and South Pole is particularly prominent."

"However, due to the warming climate, the icebergs in the North and South Poles are constantly melting, and the speed of this heat transport is slowing down, or even stopping......"

Through the conversation with Dong Chen in the first few words, La Nino knew that Dong Chen could not be treated as an ordinary capitalist.

The professional terms and detailed data that the capitalists don't want to listen to are not a problem here for Dong Chen, he can understand it completely, and he can also find fault with himself professionally, and the more detailed he says it, the greater the chance that the project may be supported by Dong Chen, so La Nino is also very open.

He opened the various data comparison charts in the computer and showed them to Dong Chen, hoping that Dong Chen could try his best to understand the seriousness of this place.

The end of the world is really no joke.

“…… After the data obtained from our field trips, we found a large number of serious conditions caused by the melting of icebergs. ”

"For example, the melting of the Laurentai Ice Sheet and the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the northern North Atlantic, the freshwater caused by their melting ice floats in the northern North Atlantic, weakening the formation of deep bottom water in the northern North Atlantic, reducing the transport of warm water from south to north, and thus cooling parts of Europe and North America."

"In this case, the places that really need to be cold can't be cold, and the places that don't need to be so cold are even colder, which is the strange extreme weather that occurs after the overall climate warms."

"This cooling has been going on for a long time, but it has been slowly intensifying since the beginning of human activity, especially after humans entered the industrial age, and the rate of cooling has become faster and faster."

"This situation was already quite obvious last year, not only did it feel that the weather was too early and entered the winter too early, but the winter was also much colder than before, which made the number of deaths caused by the cold weather in the United States last winter more than double that of last year."

"This is just the situation on the side of the United States and the Atlantic, in fact this is happening all over the world, and it is getting worse, we have detailed data ......"

Constantly looking at the data provided by La Niño, Dong Chen's mind also remembered that he had obtained some information on his side.

The density of seawater is mainly controlled by temperature and salinity, and in general, the colder and saltier the water, the denser it is, and the warmer and lighter the seawater, the less dense, and the importance of polar glaciers is self-evident.

The thermohaline circulation of the ocean is driven by the different temperature and salinity distribution of seawater.

The water in the North Atlantic region is colder and relatively salty because it is close to the North Pole at high latitudes, so the water in this place sinks, then flows to the lower latitudes and rises to the surface of the sea, and finally returns to the North Atlantic through the surface circulation.

Through this process, the thermohaline circulation transports excess heat from lower latitudes to higher latitudes, so it plays a significant role in maintaining the global heat balance.

When global warming, many of the Arctic glaciers melt and large amounts of fresh water flows into the northern Atlantic, which causes the local sea to become less dense and unable to sink into the deep ocean, so that the thermohaline circulation slows down or stops.

As a result, the global heat balance is disrupted, and the high latitudes become very cold.

This situation was noticed by Dong Chen when he dealt with the "bloodshed" virus incident, when the temperature in the country was already much colder than the same period in previous years, and it also drew some of his attention to the climate issue, knowing that many crisis situations had already begun, and it was not surprising that they went hand in hand.

Dong Chen pursed his lips and tapped on the table one by one, frowning from time to time and flipping through La Niño's computer page to look at the data, after listening to La Niño, he looked up at him and asked, "I have a general understanding of the situation, so do you have any solutions?" You want me to fund more than just research funding, right? ”

"Yes, we have solutions, but because of the money, they are only theoretical solutions right now," said La Niño, with some embarrassment.

"It is precisely because of this that we have been rejected many times in a row."

"So, you remembered me after being rejected so many times?" Dong Chen teased with a smile.

"Uh... No, Mr. Dong Chen, you are actually the most important one in our plan, and the one most likely to sponsor us, but we don't usually see you......"

“………”

Dong Chen thought about what he said for a while, so he didn't talk about it, and said directly, "Then let's talk about your "theoretical" solution." ”

"Okay, Mr. Dong Chen," La Niño clicked on a folder again, and then entered the password to open it thoroughly and showed it to Dong Chen, "Our solution is like this......"

The artificial influence of the Earth's climate is possible in some cases because of the enormous energy and various unstable factors in the atmosphere.

If we grasp the law of change of these unstable factors, at a certain favorable time and under certain favorable conditions, through artificial catalysis and other technical means, exert influence on the physical processes in the atmosphere in the local area, and use less energy to "induce" them, a huge energy conversion will occur, so that the weather will develop in the direction expected by people.

This is also the principle of artificial rainfall that people implement now, but artificial rainfall is too pediatric compared to their plans.

Their design is to directly change the temperature and humidity of the atmosphere in local areas to achieve the purpose of controlling the weather, and it is done from space, including the delivery of chemical catalysts, laser irradiation and other means.

However, there is no actual precision design in the plan, only rough principles and general implementation methods, and ...... Not guaranteed to be 100% feasible.

After looking at these things, those people are willing to pay for ghosts.
