Chapter 559 Progress of Tongtian River Project
"A beacon on a cosmic scale?"

Ye Zhou murmured and repeated Lin Ling's words, and he quickly understood what the other party meant.

She wants to use the most primitive way of electromagnetic wave broadcasting to transmit information, and then let other civilizations spread gradually in the form of "beacon" until the information spreads to the entire universe.

But the problem is that the speed of such transmission is still too slow.

On the cosmic scale, the propagation of electromagnetic waves is measured in tens of thousands of years, while the destruction speed of the earth under the impact of adjacent dimensions is calculated in months.

According to an optimistic estimate, from now until the adjacent dimension completely destroys the earth, it is estimated that there will be only 600 months left. In such a short period of time, electromagnetic waves cannot even get out of the Orion arm of the Milky Way.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said:

"No, the speed is too slow to meet our requirements."

"It seems that this plan is still too far away, and we can't put too much energy in this direction."

"The most important thing now is to accelerate the speed of technological change as soon as possible."

"It's better to ask for help from others than to ask for help from oneself"

After a pause, Ye Zhou continued to ask:

"How is your side? Is there any breakthrough in the theoretical research on quantum ghosts?"

Lin Ling shook his head and replied:

"No. The current direction has converged on string theory. If there is no breakthrough in string theory, it will be difficult for us to explore further."

"However, there is still progress in application. At least we can stabilize quantum pairs stably. This technology is still very good for communication."

"Is there no new connection with that quantum ghost?"

"No, the other party probably hasn't recovered from the previous collapse—I don't know if it can recover."

Lin Ling's tone revealed deep worry. After all, judging from the current situation, the fate of the so-called "quantum ghost" is her future fate. If the other party disappears, it means that she will be in a certain place. The time point is also annihilated.

This is definitely not an easy thing to accept.

Seeing her expression, Ye Zhou comforted:

"Don't think so much, we haven't studied the quantum field ourselves, and we don't know the cause and properties of the quantum ghost—maybe it's not a probability cloud at all?"

"Have you seen Super Body? Maybe you will become Scarlett in the future."

Lin Ling laughed, stood up from the sofa, moved the display screen on the coffee table to the desk, clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, I should go back to sleep, what do you say, let's go together?"

The residences that Chen Hao arranged for the two of them were all within the Huawuyuan Park. When returning from the office, the direction was also in the same direction. Occasionally, when the off-duty time was approaching, the two would often stroll home together, which was why their relationship gradually became closer one of the reasons.

Ye Zhou looked at the messy notebook on the coffee table and stood up after thinking for a while.

After some communication, he has discovered that the space broadcasting project is not as simple as he intuitively judged at the beginning, and there is no point in expending energy now, it is better to go back and have a good rest.

"Let's go, go back first, the radio thing. I'll think about it."

While speaking, he turned off the lights in the office, and walked out of the Huawuyuan building side by side with Lin Ling.

At this time, it was late autumn and winter was about to enter. Even in the middle of Sichuan, the night wind was frighteningly cold. Lin Ling rubbed his hands and said with some emotion:

"A few years ago, I read on the news that the summer of that year was the coolest in the next ten years -- because of global warming."

"At that time, I was quite worried. If the trend of global warming really continued to worsen, would we have to face more problems caused by extreme climate?"

"Now it seems that not only me, but everyone is wrong."

After a pause for a few seconds, she continued:

"Maybe in another ten years, everyone will hope that the weather will be hotter and hotter."

Ye Zhou nodded silently. He knew that Lin Ling was talking about the impact of the adjacent dimension invasion on the global temperature. When the adjacent dimension Tongda appeared on a large scale, the average temperature on the entire planet would drop by more than 10 degrees.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be frequent snowfall in June in central Sichuan.

"There is no way to do this. The speed of our energy technology development cannot catch up with the speed of the expansion of adjacent dimensions. There will always be a difficult period."

"However, our current efforts are to shorten this difficult period."

"Even if it is only shortened from 10 years to 9 years, it is a huge improvement when it is reflected on ordinary people."

Lin Ling nodded. She was holding a dry wooden strip pulled from the flower garden in her hand, and while shaking it unconsciously, she continued to ask:
"If the temperature really drops that much, can our food survive?"

Ye Zhou made some estimates in his heart, and then replied:
"At present, our food reserves are probably enough for the whole country to last for three years without any food output. This is already a limit number. If there is more, production will not be a problem, but whether it is storage costs or financial pressure, it will not be a problem. Can't stand it."

"So, our buffer period is actually these three years—or food for these three years."

"After the temperature drops, there will be a gap in our food supply every year. According to the estimate of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the maximum gap will even reach more than 50%, and this gap will have to be filled with stored grain."

"If the average annual replenishment is 30%, the three-year grain storage can last for 10 years. We must bring the grain production back to a balanced state within these ten years—no matter how bad the conditions are."

"So this is the fundamental purpose of the Tongtian River project? I have always heard voices saying that the Tongtian River project is unnecessary. Using the vast mountainous areas in the south to develop terraced fields, the usable area will not be smaller than that in the Northwest. "

"That's because they didn't take into account environmental ecology and soil carrying capacity. The experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences don't eat dry food. This strategy has already been proposed and calculated. According to the data, even if we turn the entire south into terraced fields , and simply not enough to feed everyone."

"Sunlight, heat, soil, ecology, and even water sources are all problems."

"Someone came up with a more extreme solution—they wanted to take down that side directly."

"Can you fight?"

A look of hesitation flashed in Lin Ling's eyes. She didn't look forward to war, but if the only solution to the problem of "keeping the Chinese people alive" was war, she would use her strength to go all out.

"So what if they fight? You can't kill them all, right? This is actually a false proposition. The real solution is agricultural cooperation."

"When I went to Hailan, I met a little girl named Xu Lei in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Now she is in Punjab, engaged in digital farmland and high-yield wheat projects. The progress is very good. So far this year, the wheat production in Punjab has increased. 20% off."

"If you continue to push forward, it will not be a problem to double within three years."

"That exaggerated?"

Lin Ling opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"It's not an exaggeration. This result is not because of how good we are, but because the people in Yindu are too good."

Hearing Ye Zhou's ridicule, Lin Ling smiled silently, and the two walked forward side by side. After a long time, Lin Ling continued to ask:
"What about the Tongtianhe project? Where has it progressed?"

Ye Zhou took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the mailbox and read it for a while, then said:
"From the report, they have basically completed the preliminary line survey and planning, and the next step is to start river reconstruction and pumping station site selection."

"This is the most difficult part of the whole project, I wish them all the best."
