Chapter 232: Problems and Solutions

The new construction was unfolding at an alarming speed with the help of machinery.

Speaking of which, after announcing the early establishment of a low-Earth orbit ring that would reach the sky, some people wondered why such a "labor and money" thing was built - "instead of going to space, we should focus on the things in front of us, we need more bread and butter!" Some people expressed their wishes so bluntly.

"Because we want to atone for the sins of our ancestors, we are going to use our own efforts to restore this homeland. For everyone's doubts, Yuan Hao gave this answer:

"Because of the overexploitation of human beings, because of the war between humans and machines, the earth that gave birth to our growth has become what it is now. This is our crime against the world. The earth is our home, and I don't think anyone wants their home to be filthy and messy! We have to get this planet back up, and we have to do our part.

There is no escaping it, we have to spend ten, twenty, or even a lifetime of time to do all this. Now is not the time for us to enjoy, we are all atoned for our sins, and we must use our labor to restore this broken world. I don't think anyone wants their children and grandchildren to live like yours as caged birds. So, let's all work hard!"

Yuan Hao's words ignited a sense of mission in people's hearts. The so-called "Dink" idea of "as long as you live well" is actually based on the development of material civilization to a certain degree of prosperity. As for the present, the development of the ethnic group and the future of future generations are the key to people's considerations.

After Yuan Hao made that explanation, although there was still a small part of the people who stubbornly thought that it was unnecessary, most of the people who had re-embarked on the earth had realized the correctness of Yuan Hao's actions, and they all obeyed Yuan Hao's orders and devoted themselves to the busy construction.

For the majority of those who obeyed, Yuan Hao naturally kindly gave the corresponding material preferential treatment. And for those who are stubborn, Yuan Hao canceled their treatment at the same time, and also imprisoned them in a coolie camp to force them to contribute their strength.

There is tenderness, and there is violence, this is Yuan Hao's way of hegemony.

Of course, such a way of hegemony will also arouse the disgust of some well-intentioned people, and then give birth to some bad thoughts, such as revolution, such as overthrowing tyranny, pursuing freedom, and so on.

But Yuan Hao didn't care much about this. Revolution, overthrow tyranny, pursue freedom? Well, you can think like this, and you can plan like this, but you don't want me to find out about your actions. Otherwise, I will give you a taste of what is called the iron fist of dictatorship.

As a ruler, it is very difficult to make 100% of your people love you, but a good ruler can still do it if he has more than 90% of his people under his rule.

For example, Yuan Hao, who brought peace to human beings, guided them back to the ground, and led them to think about the stars and the sea, undoubtedly achieved this point.

As a result, he gained the affection of most people, and his prestige - if there is really a description, his popularity has undoubtedly brushed to the level of worship.

The whole of human society basically acts according to his will. In such a situation, it is not so unacceptable that he occasionally uses some seemingly harsh means against those who do not obey orders.

At least most people didn't say anything about it.

And with the passage of time, more people have become accustomed to all this.

Toil, reap the fruits.

Under the leadership of Yuan Hao, under the excellent design calculation, and with the efforts of millions of industrial robots and related engineering MS, Yuan Hao has completed the construction of the Sansha solar orbital ladder. At this time, Brad, who was in charge of the development of the asteroid, had already controlled the carefully selected asteroid to approach the earth.

It was captured by the Earth's gravity after careful orbital calculations and became a satellite of the Earth.

After the completion of the low-earth orbit solar space station, Yuan Hao quickly carried out the next step, using the Gundam Nimes alloy produced in the asteroid zone to build the low-earth orbit circle.

Because this calculation has been communicated to Brad for their sake, you will have several mineral-rich asteroids that will reach the Galland point between the Earth and the Moon in the following time. Yuan Hao wants to use these asteroids as mines to develop the resources in them to complete the construction of the near-Earth solar orbit. Of course, it takes a lot of labor.

The current human labor force is clearly not enough to do this. But Yuan Hao was not worried.

There is not enough human labor, and there are machines to use.

With sufficient mineral resources in the asteroid area and the Terminator production technology stored on the Red Queen's side, a large number of Terminator robots have been used as a supplement to the labor force on both the asteroid side and the Earth side.

It's just that most of the asteroid terminators have bionic skin, and they look no different from humans themselves - at least not on the outside.

The Red Queen endowed these terminators with the most basic intelligence, instilled in them the most basic knowledge of survival in human society, and opened their learning privileges. This makes them grow up very quickly. By the time they came to the Earth's Sphere, they seemed to be no different from normal people in terms of their simple behavior.

Relying on the cooperation of these Terminators, who seemed to be indistinguishable from real people, and those skeletons from Earth made with Terminator technology, Yuan Hao's plan was finally realized. Looking at the towering tower, like a sharp sword reaching into the sky, people's hearts were full of reverence and emotion for Yuan Hao.

"Are we really the ones who have built such a majestic building, and do we have such great power?" the people were stunned and excited. In the blink of an eye, the mood of human beings was very different from when they were in Zion.

At the beginning, they lived a precarious life in Xi'an, although they maintained peace on the surface, but deep down they were full of hesitation and helplessness for the future. They don't know when the war between them and the machine will end, and they don't know if their relatives and friends who have gone out will be able to see them next time they return.

Entering and exiting the matrix is an extremely dangerous job, every moment may encounter agents, where it will be like now, just follow the orders of the people above, and use your own labor to change the world little by little.

"It's a great day like this. "People are mostly grateful. After seeing a large number of huge orbital ladders erected in the huge LCD screen at the door of their homes, people's hearts were uneasy but a lot disappeared at once.

Huge buildings can give people courage and peace of mind, especially when such power is still built by oneself bit by bit, and people have more peace in their hearts. They all thought that if they were able to build such a majestic building, they must also be able to protect their own safety!

Self-confidence, the rarest thought after the destruction of human civilization, quietly returned to people's hearts at this moment.

Everyone thinks I can do it, and they are naturally more and more motivated. Even the construction of a new solar orbital station is much faster. Then, after another three years, dozens of solar orbital ladders were built, and three low-Earth orbit space rings covering the tropics and subtropics were established along the equatorial line.

The continuous flow of solar energy is converted into electricity by the action of solar panels in the space ring of low earth orbit, which is directed to the oxygen storage plant located near the orbital ladder and meets the purified seawater, which continuously decomposes hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, and sodium metal - except for oxygen, which is used as "exhaust gas" Released directly into the air, hydrogen is prepared as an important energy product and transported to the nearest nuclear power plant for fusion power generation, while chlorine and sodium are also transported to the corresponding plant as important chemical materials.

At this point, the second of the four steps that Yuan Hao said to the Creator is completed. The oxygen level in the atmosphere is gradually rising, and the important conditions for the recovery of the biosphere have been achieved.

Yuan Hao immediately began to work on a wide range of rainfall. One after another, rain rockets were shot to an altitude of more than five thousand meters, and a large amount of silver iodide was scattered above the clouds, and the rain began to condense, and then the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell, accompanied by heavy and abnormal dust particles.

These are acid rains that are harmful to the human body and buildings, but fortunately, most of the surface biospheres are still in a fully enclosed state, and the steel skeletons that build biosphere cities are extremely corrosion-resistant materials, so they are not afraid of the invasion of these acid rains.

With the onset of artificial rainfall, Yuan Hao always paid attention to the content of particles in this acid rain and the thickness of the clouds themselves. After discovering that the thick clouds above the sky had indeed weakened with more and more frequent rainfall, Yuan Hao became more and more impressed by the idea he had conceived at the beginning.

"Maybe just a year or two if we continue like this...... The clouds that obscure the sky will be reduced to an extremely thin point. Well, the future is still very ready. Yuan Hao thought so.

However, things were not as easy as Yuan Hao imagined.

Soon, a big trouble found Yuan Hao. That's the news from the space station in low Earth orbit around the Earth: "The normal cloud layer above the black cloud layer has been cut too much. A lot of the clouds are scattered...... It is difficult to form a rain cloud thick enough again for precipitation. ”

"Does that mean it's impossible to continue artificial rain?" Yuan Hao's brows furrowed tightly.

The sudden problems were somewhat unexpected to him. But when you think about it, it's not impossible. After all, when the sky is obscured by dark clouds, sunlight cannot reach the earth, and while plants are extinct, the evaporation of the atmosphere itself is almost cut off.

The artificial rainfall carried out by Yuan Hao these days can be said to be gnawing at the old book before the catastrophe. Although the old book before the catastrophe was very rich, but in the case of Yuan Hao picking every day these days, no matter how rich the old book is, there will be a day when it will be eaten up.

There is no way to make ends meet, and there is a lack of balanced circulation so that the clouds are weakened too much per unit of time. This is the problem that Yuan Hao is encountering right now.

What to do?

Yuan Hao also scratched his head a little. To that end, he convened a parliament to discuss a solution to the problem. However, the problem is so big that those who come from Zion don't have enough vision to think of a solution.

The suggestions they put forward are all very traditional, such as increasing the launch density of rain-enhancing rockets, using more rockets to carry out rainfall, and so on. This is not what Yuan Hao wants to see.

So, Yuan Hao turned his gaze to Brad and them.

"I wonder if we're pulling a proper comet out of outer space. Brad spoke.

"A comet in space?" Yuan Hao muttered, "Isn't this a little too far away...... I remember that most of the comets in the solar system were concentrated in the Icoper Belt at a distance of 40 AU. Pulling a comet from here to Earth, it's really ...... It's going to take years. ”

"It won't take that long......," Brad shook his head, "in fact we could use the few comets we used in the construction of the asteroid base." We've mined some of it, but even the rest should be enough for us...... Even if it's not enough, we can use this to save the day and then get more comets from the Icoper belt. ”

"Hmm, can it still be like this?" Yuan Hao's eyes lit up slightly, and he suddenly became a little interested: "This can reduce a lot of time." ”

Thinking about it, Yuan Hao looked directly at the red queen: "Help me calculate how much time we need if we follow this plan." ”

"Understood!" the red queen nodded and quickly began to calculate, she calculated quickly, and after a while came to a conclusion.

"If all goes well, I estimate it will take about half a year. Specifically, between 301 days and 350 days......"

"Half a year? That's enough!" Yuan Hao nodded slightly, he thought about it carefully, and immediately ordered: "Notify the remaining base in the asteroid zone, and let them quickly mobilize the corresponding equipment to push the remaining comets to the side of low earth orbit."

In addition, a new production line of nuclear furnace engines was reopened, and a workship was sent to the Icober Belt to capture more comets. ”

"Understood!" the red queen nodded. Immediately, the corresponding quantum communication technology was used to transmit the order that Yuan Hao had just given to the asteroid base.

There is still a backup system of the Red Queen on the side of the asteroid base, as well as several Terminator production lines and MS and warship production lines, although the production capacity does not have to be strong as the two asteroid fortresses that have been moved to Earth orbit, but it is enough to produce a batch of manpower in a short period of time.

With these people, along with MS and workboats designed for work, it would be fairly easy to get to the Icoper Belt to capture comets - the only problem was time.

The biggest problem is time...... However, there is no way around it now. Yuan Hao sighed helplessly, and immediately asked the Red Queen: "Do you estimate how many tonnage of comet ice do we need to achieve our goal?"

"Considering the loss caused by the friction of the atmosphere, we need about 40,000 tons of comets - after all, we don't want the comet to hit the ground directly, so we have to complete the decomposition of the real comet before it reaches the ground. The red queen thought for a while and gave the corresponding answer.

"Is that so?" Yuan Hao was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized: "So...... When the comets get here, we're going to have to cut them, right?"

"Exactly!" the red queen nodded heavily.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Come up with a plan for me as soon as possible. Yuan Hao commanded casually.

"Yes, my master!" replied the Red Queen resolutely.
