The conclusions of the soil fertility and climate change assessment were quickly generated and reflected in the next scene........

In the council hall, hundreds of parliamentarians and representatives of executors from all walks of life gathered again, and on the podium in the center, there was a great elf in the shape of a famous scholar, standing in front of a huge illusory sphere and speaking;

"Gentlemen, Ladies....."

After the usual and brief opening procedure, he continued to all the attendees,

"We have observed such conclusions in the northern and southern directions, as well as in the shallow and deep seas.....

As the report officially begins, the sphere on its side changes its form as he speaks, seeing the land and sea receding and the mountains and rivers fading, sometimes magnifying to a part, and sometimes overseeing the whole picture.

On the 'sidelines', Alena listened to his narrative and pulled up the data of the corresponding year from the terminal, ready to understand what the scholar said.

The first thing she read here was the 'overview of urban development' in the period of 125-150 years of the rune calendar, and from this she had a deeper understanding of the original situation.

According to the 'Summary', the Republic had gone through two rounds of 100 million-level elves in that era, and combined with the number accumulated in the past, it had a total of nearly 230 million mouths, and there were 100 million embryos, or elves in different stages of development.

At that time, when the light curtain was showing, the Republic of China based on these elven mouths, around the two types of mother trees, 'near-god-level' and 'beast-king-level', in the Black Forest with a total area of 20 million square kilometers, developed 1 super-large, 8 large, 14 medium-sized, a total of 23 large and small cities.

Among them, the super-large city refers to the 'elf headquarters', and it is also the area with the highest concentration of scientific research, production, and military industries in the Republic.

In the 'headquarters', there are 30 'near-god-level mother trees' and 150 'beast king-level mother trees', which together form a core urban area with a radius of 70 kilometers, and about 50 million real elves live inside, and the bodies of nearly 50 million unborn elves are also preserved;

The extension of the 'headquarters' radiates an area of nearly one million square kilometers across the river and the surrounding forest, and there are also facilities such as 'scientific research centers', 'military stations', 'production centers', 'mining refining', etc., which can be described as a super-large comprehensive industrial base with strict defense and can easily supply the population of all ethnic groups in the world.

In the core area of the main department, the radius of only 70 kilometers may not be too exaggerated in terms of breadth, but at the spatial level, it expands a huge usable area through 'upward and downward extension';

In terms of 'ascent', with the support of strong materials, engineering and other technologies, kilometers and hundreds of meters of buildings are by no means rare in the core area;

In terms of 'downward', the conventional part alone can often dig out a kilometer of space underground, and the 'unconventional' series of laboratories, strategic reserves and other facilities are even more exaggerated, such as the most extreme 'geocentric laboratory', which has penetrated 6,000 kilometers underground in that year alone, which is really close to the 'field nuclear' area.

Therefore, the concentration of 50 million reality elves, 55 million embryos or imaginary elves here is not only not obvious to the main part, but even has enough space to spare.

The next eight 'megacities' developed rapidly from the 'mega-cities' of the past after realizing the 'explosion of populations'.

Although they are far less exaggerated than the headquarters in terms of scale, the core area can also have a radius of about 35 kilometers, and the extension is radiating hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and there are also a series of military, production and other bases, which are also a huge core industrial chain;

Inside, there are 3 'Near-God-level Mother Trees' and 12 'Beastmaster-level Mother Trees', each with a mouth of about 12 million, and at the same time, they also have about 4.3 million bodies of unborn elves at various stages.

The other 14 medium-sized cities are smaller than the previous two, with only 11 'Beastmaster-level Mother Trees' inside, with an average of about 5 million mouths and about 1.65 million unborn elves.

In addition to these 23 large and small cities, although the Republic has also established bases of different levels and functions at the bottom of the sea, mountains, continents, high altitudes, orbits, etc., most of them only undertake various tasks in terms of military, production, scientific research, etc., because there are no long-term residents and no elves in the body, so they are not regarded as 'cities' by the elves.

~~~~~~~~~~

Alena withdrew most of her attention from the 'review', but she still had some of her mind deeply immersed in the video materials, especially the huge, high, and deep pictures of the city shown in this video, which had a realistic beauty different from the virtual realm for her.

"Hoo ....."

She breathed a long sigh of relief, forcibly stopped the residual shock in her heart, and once again devoted her energy to the narration of the scholar in front of her, wanting to hear what the 'change' was and see if it matched her guess.......

~~~~~~~~~

"The relevant evaluation data clearly shows that the soil carrying capacity of the area with the headquarters as the center and the breadth of up to one million square kilometers has been declining significantly and rapidly over the years;"

The scholar in the video is frowning and narrating, and from time to time pointing to the 'home star projection' on his side to explain the corresponding situation.

"Enlarge the area first, then color..."

The image of the parent star disappeared, and the original position was only a projection of the central area of the main area, and not only the surface part, but the content of the display even penetrated deep into the geological layer, forming a three-dimensional trapezoidal area.

"Dark green-green-light green-white..... If you outline the level of bearing capacity of the land in terms of the shade of color, you can intuitively feel the impact of the headquarters....."

He pointed to areas of different shades of color and explained,

"As you can see, the underground of the core city is completely white, and there is no concept of 'carrying capacity' here, because all the creatures distributed in it are elven creations, and they will only absorb and not release;"

"Extending outward to the area radiated by the core urban area, this is also the area where we first began to consume, although we have been supplementing with 'war corpses' and 'chemical fertilizers' for many years, but this large looming barely 'light green' still proves that the consumption rate is far greater than the replenishment;"

"Look at this place again, this is the root group of the 'near-god' mother tree that has spread here, and it has only been more than twenty years, and the place they pass through is already close to white, and they continue to extend outward in order to absorb more nutrient resources;"

"I think the area it refers to in the future, I think it will inevitably end like this in the future, what do you have any objections?"

The rest of the participants nodded their heads, saying that it was about the same as the result they had calculated in the split second, and motioned for him to continue.

And the scholar also bowed his head, and began to continue to state his own opinion...

"In addition to the 'near-god-level mother tree', the consumption of the 'beast king-level mother tree' should not be underestimated, and the rest also have the 'super-large wisdom brain array' and the 'super-large-scale totem industry chain', and their root systems in the ground are also continuously absorbing the nutrients they need, and they are constantly expanding and diving into the absorption area."

"The order of the known consumption scale is roughly as follows: near the Mother Tree of God - Mother Tree of the Beast King - Super Large Intelligent Brain Array - Ultra-Large Industrial Chain - Large Intelligent Brain Array ......."

"And in the headquarters, how many such 'huge consumers' are gathered now, everyone must be very clear in their hearts....... The calculation of the final aggregate data shows that if we do not introduce an effective measure, it will start with the surrounding tens of thousands of square kilometers of land and continue to the area of millions and more than one million......."

"Wherever the underground root system of the headquarters can spread, one day in the next two hundred years, it will no longer be able to squeeze out a single nutrient, and even eventually turn into a desert where no grass grows."

In the middle of his thoughts, the projection screen turned again, changing from the main part to the appearance of the Black Forest as a whole and the entire continent, and the scholar pointed to the deduction screen and continued,

"This process of 'desertification' will never end there, as our 23 cities will first drain the entire Black Forest, then follow the instinct of plants to move north into the mountains and then into the continents, and repeat the process again until the whole world is drained."

"At that time, our own life will never be easy......"

At this point, the speaker's face was already very solemn, and he reminded the rest of the participants,

"In the north, there are also hundreds of our mainland base stations, countless 'reconnaissance forests', and 'secret bases' everywhere, as well as the 'sect holy land' established on the basis of the 'mainland base station', the orbital network that is also an extension of the 'base station', and the church cities on the network hub;"

"Among them, there is hardly a large extractor who does not rely on the nutrients of the earth to operate, coupled with the consumption ..... of 'super improved seeds' in agriculture and animal husbandry."

"So, on the whole, desertification around the world will only come sooner than we think, and there are two other issues that I think we must agree on.....

The scholar looked at the people in the room again and continued,

"First, although they are all 'plants', the 'totemic plants' that have been transformed by our hands are very different from the plants in nature..... The plants of nature have yet to wither and wither, but they will eventually return to the earth in any case; ”

"However, the series of functional totemic plants that we have, represented by the mother tree, can be approximated as eternal life!"

"And they are not pure, whether it is the nurturing of elves or the confinement of sustaining higher life forms..... These many functions must be realized on the basis of the operation of the totem, and the totem engraved on it depends on sunlight, air, and soil nutrients to exert its effect, and the consumption required is far greater than that of natural plants......"

"Although some 'totemic plants' will be damaged and ineffective after absorbing nutrients, and eventually return to the earth after being destroyed and decomposed;"

"But there is still a considerable part of the nutrients, which will be solidified directly to the production side itself....... Therefore, as long as these production ends continue to exist for a long time, then 'giving back to the earth' is nonsense. ”

"The most obvious of these is our ....... of the 'mother tree' at all levels."

"The effects of confinement, damage, maintenance damage, etc. are all nutrient transformation items, but their ultimate purpose is to breed elves, and in the process of cultivation, they also need to absorb a larger amount of nutrients in order to cooperate with high-energy cell sap to produce the effect we need, so the 'elves' can be roughly regarded as the 'product' of the mother tree;"

"But what are the characteristics of this 'product'..... Presumably, everyone here is also very clear that there is no doubt that they eat more, excrete less, and live a long life; ”

"And, elves...... In other words, all the spirits, including us, are constantly increasing their possession of matter by relying on the life force field and the corresponding force field enhancement means; ”

"This 'appropriation' no longer simply refers to 'nutrient consumption', but to the appropriation of the 'substance' itself in a broader sense;"

"If our life expectancy is a little shorter, it will be repaid, and it will turn into a handful of loess in two or three hundred years, and then nature will give back to nature as much as it takes;"

"But everybody understands that there hasn't actually been a single case of natural death ever recorded, and not even the signs of aging have been observed."

"All this, combined with the increase in the size of the population of 100 million in the past ten years, even if it is not too exaggerated in terms of 'possession of matter' alone, it cannot even be compared with the consumption caused by the root system of the mother tree;"

"But if we interpret it in the context of the rapid expansion of the size of the group, then this 'possession' has shown a significant and continuous upward trend, both at the individual and overall levels;"

"Perhaps in a hundred or thousand years, with the increase in our number and the improvement of the average cultivation of the ethnic group, the 'possession quota' that can be formed will reach a point that cannot be ignored."

"Returning to the similarities and differences between natural plants and totemic plants, in addition to the 'differences', there is actually one of the most critical 'similarities', that is, the ...... of 'carbon sequestration' and 'cooling' effects."

"As we all know, we use a huge number of totemic plants in various industrial chains, and there seems to be a habit of 'planting wherever we go', and thus creating a large number of 'totem forests' in the northern continent, as well as 'totem cities' that also have plant properties, just like the 'continental base station', 'reconnaissance forest', and the 'church holy land' and 'hub city' as their extension."

"In this survey, we have observed a decrease in average temperature around the world, which is not yet significant, but definitely stable, and we initially suspect that it is directly caused by the sudden increase in the number of 'anomalous plants', that is, 'totemic plants';"

"If this decline continues, even for hundreds or thousands of years........ There is no doubt that the Northland Permafrost will spread southward year by year, and eventually turn the Northland into a land of ice and snow. At the same time, the polar ice sheets will thicken and widen, and sea levels will fall as a result, and the climate in the rest of the continent will change dramatically....."

"Ladies and gentlemen, thousands of years from now will not be exactly the 'world of the younger generations', and if nothing else, it seems that all of us here will continue to survive in that era."

"Therefore, it is not feasible to 'leave the future things to the future elves', because we can also taste the bitter fruits that we have planted now......."

~~~~~~~~~

When she saw the short film here, Alena also felt some feelings in her heart, and immediately thought of it based on what she had learned in the virtual realm.....

As long as the demand for the expansion of the race does not change, the nurturing of the elves will not be terminated or reduced;

Because the number of elves has increased and played a vital role in almost everything, it is impossible for the Republic to compromise on 'population growth' for the sake of environmental protection, which means that the functions within the mother tree must continue to be operated.

As a result, there is a ripple effect on the production side......

The increase in quantity means the consumption of more materials, and the production of food and industrial products will not only not be reduced, but even increased year by year, and those plant-based factories will naturally have to continue to produce;

Eventually, these 'operations' and 'production' will be passed on to the demand for nutrients from the earth, and the endless and hardly any 'feedback' will continue to be consumed, and it seems that it is not impossible to suck the entire home planet into a wasteland.

Not only that, but the elves and elves in the cultivation will also possess more and more 'substances' in a broader sense through the transformation of the life force field, but the consequences caused by this are not what can be imagined now......

It seems ironic that the elves, who have always prided themselves on civilization, are like bloodsuckers who don't know how to give back...... At that time, it became the most threatening group to the home planet?

It doesn't seem right, at least from what I've learned and seen in the Shroud, it doesn't really seem like things are going in the worst direction? ’

Thinking of this, Alena's small brow furrowed slightly, and based on the place where she was standing at this moment, she roughly analyzed some possibility,

Is it because the elves have turned their attention to the universe, such as the sun they just saw? Otherwise, how would the mother tree have been raised into orbit.......

And then, the next scene shown in the short film immediately gave her the first part of the answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The presentation of the special analysis team is substantial, and the elves who can sit in the council hall are almost all individuals with superior intelligence;

Therefore, after realizing that what the publisher said was indeed in line with the speculation, a certain sense of forward-looking crisis emerged.....

So immediately after that, the meeting turned into a discussion, and everyone in the room tried to come up with different solutions for the short, medium, or long term.

In this process, the first type of "symptomatic but not cure" scheme for "soil carrying capacity" is the essence of "equalization" and seeks to alleviate the short-term deterioration trend.

Specifically, the excess consumption, which is currently concentrated in a small corner of the Black Forest, will spread to the entire continent and even the oceans, so as to share the consumption and slow the deterioration.

At this time, the number of the tribes on the mainland has increased dramatically due to the advent of peace, and the series of life and production metabolism that they can produce in birth, old age, sickness and death, as well as daily life, may become an important and more convenient convertible resource;

Therefore, the more material-rich northern continent is more attractive in this regard than the nutrient-rich deep sea.....

But the question also arises, will the migration of the elven city have an impact on the 'faith' of the sects, and how to explain the concentration of angels who should live in the 'divine domain'?

Or should we use the domain to permanently obscure the 'accessibility', 'visibility', and 'perceptibility' of certain areas......

To this, a great elf stood up and spoke,

"Isn't this equivalent to increasing consumption, anyway, for the northern sects, twenty or thirty meters of external armor is the real 'angel', why don't we use the identity of the 'angel race in the mortal world' to appear in the northern continent openly?"

Bowing slightly in the direction of the Speaker's seat and the 'Elder Seat', the elf continued,

"Although we don't have a ruling need for Hokuriku, if we are born as an 'Angel Mortal' and naturally form some kind of 'alliance leader' status, it will save a lot of trouble for the Republic, right?"

"This should solve the problem on both fronts.....

"One is the cognitive difference between the subordinate city-states in the mountains and the sects of the Hokuriku, after all, when we ruled the former, we never said anything about angels or not angels, and now we are taking this opportunity to get them over;

"Second, although it is not good for the true gods and angels to ask their followers for anything other than faith, if we are 'mortals,' then there is no such restriction, right?"

He looked at the thoughtful parliamentarians and continued,

"Although the form may be a little different, it will also be possible to transfer part of the production needs to the northern sect through trade, as it is with the vassal city-states;"

"For example, food production, mining and refining, and more in terms of basic materials....... The Republic, on its part, continues to control the source of technology, such as the transformation and supply of grain and livestock, as well as the manufacture of production tools. ”

"In this way, the demand for totemic plants will be much reduced, and the consumption of carrying capacity will be reduced as a result........ So, what do you see? ”

After a 'buzz' of discussion, the proposal was adopted as a preliminary formality, and a preparatory group for implementation was quickly set up with the participation of the parliament and the ruling government, ready to enter the implementation phase after refining various specific details.

After the foundation of this proposal, other suggestions are also being formed one by one, the most critical of which is the 'totem de-nutrient operation', which aims to directly drive the totem with the most convenient and least valuable electric energy today;

And the reason for this is that the way to obtain electricity is really not too much for the elven realm....

For example, the orbital light extraction station-microwave conversion-surface delivery-conversion of electricity is a relatively mature path;

Another example is the use of the field to create a directional constant strong wind belt, a constant tidal zone, so as to convert it into electrical energy, which can also be exercised;

It is not even impossible to use the field to form a 'constant thunderstorm belt' in a suitable area, so as to eliminate the need to generate electricity and obtain electricity directly.

The problem now is almost exclusively in the most fundamental aspect of 'totemic urging'.......

And here, as if by chance, the pioneer who had not spoken for a long time in the 'patriarch's seat' suddenly asked,

"It's been decades since the Atomic Energy Research Institute was founded, but what about the latest developments in weaponization and energyization?"

At the next point, a certain elf stood up immediately after hearing this, and after bowing slightly to the upper seat, he made a targeted report.....
