Chapter 260: Be quick with a hoe
In order to illuminate the globe and shade a part of the barren place, the master company needed to lay out two huge fields of film in space. The first is the position between the earth and the sun, which can be adjusted at any time to block the sun, according to calculations, about 9% of the area on the earth needs to be shaded. Because the first point is to consider the reason for light scattering, and the other point is that these places will not be completely occluded, but will retain a certain basic two degrees, at least allowing humans to observe and see objects; It's about as bright as the sun is before it comes out in the early morning โ but it's enough for some plants to survive and some animals to survive.
The other one needs to be on the far side of the Earth to reflect back sunlight that passes through the Earth's orbit. According to calculations, the need may need to be as large as the ground needs to be illuminated.
On Earth, because of the scale, sunlight is approximately parallel; However, on a space scale, sunlight is like a light, and the farther away it is, the weaker the light becomes at two degrees. Therefore, in fact, the 1:1 scale space mirror theory cannot fully meet the complete needs of the earth; But there is one thing, and that is that only half of the earth is dark at all times, and not all places need to maintain a high level of light. For example, in cities, as long as they can meet the basic lighting, too much will cause light pollution and further increase the temperature of the earth.
Only in jungles, meadows, grain producing areas, etc., will the full brightness be guaranteed - this brightness is about 11 o'clock at noon. In fact, the brightness is already too high at noon every day, and some plants are dormant at this time. Even according to the plan, at this time, space needs to block some of the sunlight and cool the earth. For example, in Africa.
After the whole plan came out, it was necessary to launch a full 250 million square kilometers of film into space, which is equivalent to 26 times the land area of China! The huge space program made the reporters who saw this number exclaim. Fortunately, the current technology can fully meet this construction demand.
In addition, in order to minimize the impact on the Earth, reduce the interference of man-made objects such as satellites in space, and reduce the interference of the upper ionospheric atmosphere, this huge thin film device will be placed outside the geosynchronous orbit, or even outside the lunar orbit. Because the two bases are to always be in a straight line with the Earth and the Sun, they are adjusted in space by the small engines they carry.
When the plan was finally finalized and made public, seeing the detailed plan of the master company, the world was nervous at the same time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, some people in the African region are relieved that they can enjoy the cool environment in the future.
Of course, this is just the idea of ordinary people; In fact, the more than 500 delegates from all over the world, who have been here for more than two weeks, are starting to get nervous โ and now they are at their most tense!
As politicians, the first thing you see is that this matter can no longer be stopped, so you must strive for the greatest benefit. But the first thing they saw was that after the master company mastered these two huge killing weapons, it definitely controlled the life and death power of the earth! This will be a king without a crown, and from now on there will be an attitude of a careful master company all over the world. If nothing else, gathering all the sunlight is scorching, which is somewhat inhumane; But the sky of your country will be covered for ten days and half a monthโand the harvest will perish!
And only after that, did I start to think about the benefits of this matter. Sufficient light is conducive to the growth of plants and can promote global carbon dioxide consumption; Secondly, it can triple the growth time of food! Yes, three times! Because under normal circumstances, only 6-8 hours can have proper light for 24 hours a day to meet the photosynthesis of plants. And if the proper light is maintained 24 hours a day, then the plants will have a lot of time for photosynthesis in addition to resting time.
In addition, some countries, such as Switzerland, are too high in most places, although there is sufficient water, but because of low temperatures and other reasons, it is not conducive to plant growth; But once there is more sunlight, these places can be turned into fertile fields. It is even possible to build a greenhouse here!
This is a huge benefit that no one can afford to ignore! Theoretically, food production will triple and carbon dioxide purification will triple, and a new era of prosperity will usher in the planet!
Zhang Jingyuan stood up, "Everyone, thank you for your efforts, I think you have a reason to enjoy a week's rest, and of course, think about what else you haven't considered during this week."
In addition, I can't be indifferent to your support for the master company. 500,000 yuan per person, although it is a little less, please do not refuse. โ
"Where, Mr. Zhang is polite!" The windfall made these experts smile. Even the Confucian saint needs to eat!
And those politicians were also relieved to hear that the master company was going to take a break for a week; With this one-week buffer, it's time for everyone to think about what to do. In fact, these people are really worried that the master company will come to a negotiation right after, and that is in a hurry!
However, Zhang Jingyuan did not stop speaking, "The experts have worked hard, we have prepared a sumptuous Chinese delicacy, and please enjoy your face and come to taste." โ
It's something to talk about, and it's not a very public thing! Although these experts are a little "cute", they don't mean stupid; And in fact, to be recognized all over the world as experts, these people are first-class smart!
And the representatives of various countries next to him also looked at Zhang Jingyuan with thoughtful eyes! What are you going to do?
What else can you do, of course, digging the foot of the wall! The world will find about 500 top environmentalists, how can Zhang Jingyuan let these people go!
You know, as environmental issues become more and more severe, environmental experts are becoming more and more sought-after. Unfortunately, environmental issues have only recently begun to change dramatically, and the real experts are not what the school line can provide! In particular, Zhang Jingyuan's vision is much higher than that of ordinary people......
However, after all, this is the home of the master company, and the reporters and politicians had to disperse, and all the experts could only follow Zhang Jingyuan to the Chinese delicacy that the master company had prepared.
In fact, having just received 500,000 yuan of Huaxia coins, the strongest currency in the world today, has already excited these experts. With the fierce competition in the world and the sharp depreciation of the currency, the dollar has gradually withdrawn from the status of an international currency; As a result, barter trading in the world is now experiencing unprecedented prosperity. However, under the influence of Huaxia, Huaxia currency began to assume the task of some international settlement currencies; Especially for the master company, all the international settlements are all in Huaxia currency, which has also made a huge contribution to the strength of Huaxia currency.
In fact, Huaxia has always been stable, and the current 500,000 yuan is at least equivalent to 250,000 yuan ten years ago!
Not to mention, Huaxia has now become the pearl of the world, and the delicacy of Huaxia is the crown of catering!
As for others, some experts also have a faint expectation in their hearts: Is it possible to join a master company? The annual salary is one million, which is the standard salary of ordinary old technical workers in a master company! And as an expert, an annual salary of 2 million Huaxia coins does not seem to be a fantasy! In recent years, in addition to the aerospace industry chain, it is shrinking! The once-wealthy automobile industry is learning to lose weight!
