Chapter 586 Control
Li Qingye controlled the synchronized robot and headed to other exhibition areas of the venue.
Due to the huge investment in manpower and material resources, each subsidiary of Zhiren Company has its own unique technology.
For example, the Coral Construction Group in front of us has developed engineering coral polyps in addition to the engineering termites that have been put into use before.
After several technological upgrades, the engineered termites and engineered corals have become extremely powerful.
Engineering corals are specifically used for constructing underwater projects, while engineering termites are used in surface projects. Especially in large-scale projects, these two engineering organisms are more useful than engineering machines.
Li Qingye saw a building built on sand in the Coral Construction exhibition area. This building was built using engineered termites.
The guide also tried his best to explain the relevant situation to him: "... This is a simulated desert environment. With a certain supply of nutrient solution and food, engineered termites can quickly build their houses, roads, and dams."
Then the commentator brought up the holographic projection.
In the picture, there is the yellow sand of the Sahara Desert.
However, in this vast expanse of yellow sand, there are actually large buildings.
Li Qingye has been in Africa for more than a year, so he naturally knows what this is.
This is the inland of the central Sahara Desert. Even though the Homo sapiens company has built countless seawater canals and a large number of seawater farmlands in the low-lying areas of the Sahara Desert, it has still not turned the inland of the central Sahara into a tropical savanna climate.
There is nothing special in the Sahara Desert originally, but the wind will gradually push the sand from high places to low places and cause sandstorms.
This poses a serious threat to the transformed areas of the Suez and Numidia branches.
Homo sapiens has been trying to tame the earth's climate, so it will naturally not compromise with sandstorms and desertification. Instead, it has launched an extremely radical offensive.
Coral Construction Group is one of the main forces of the Sapiens Company's attack on the desert.
They hunt those large moving sand dunes by encircling them.
How to hunt sand dunes involves the engineering termites in front of us.
Normally, to completely eliminate a desert, the Sapiens company would adopt a complete set of plans, including: building a stilt city, using the stilt city as a point to radiate lines in all directions, connecting the lines into a network, and then solidifying one grid at a time.
Among them, Gaojiao City is the command center of the engineering termites and also the supply station for nutrient solution and food. Disposable plastic pipes are used as routes to allow the engineering termites to expand in all directions along these pipes, and the pipes can transport nutrient solution.
Engineered termites use nutrient solution and protein particles as food, and then use desert sand and soil as raw materials to continuously build various buildings.
Since the purpose is to eliminate desertification, there is no need to use steel bars, nor is it necessary for the structure to be too strong. As long as the engineering termites can complete the task at the fastest speed and the lowest cost, it will be fine.
This standard engineering termite colony has about 50 to 70 million termites. If there is sufficient nutrition, it can build a building with a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters and a width of 0.5 meters in one day. The strength of the building is similar to that of ordinary cement castings.
The speed seems slow, but in fact, this is just a standard termite colony, and Coral Construction Group often invests tens of thousands of standard termite colonies at one time.
In other words, the termite colonies released by Gaojiao City around can build buildings hundreds of thousands of meters long in a day.
After dividing the desert into grids, Coral Construction Group will invest in a second type of engineering termites, which can spit out special formic acid to quickly solidify the desert surface. The thickness of the solidified layer can usually reach 2 to 3 centimeters.
In this way, Homo sapiens has eliminated millions of square kilometers of shifting deserts and fixed them firmly.
The fixed desert has formed an endless spectacle in North Africa. Even from outer space, one can see the solidified areas that look like terraces.
This solidified desert is not left there unused, but is used to install solar panels.
Currently, the Sahara Energy Group, a subsidiary of Sapiens, has laid 370,000 square kilometers of solar panels in the solidified area of the Sahara, and the daily power generation is an astronomical figure.
However, since a large number of solar panels were laid in the solidification area, the solidification layer under the solar panels did not receive much solar energy, which resulted in the ground temperature not being high during the day and becoming even colder at night.
On the other hand, because the Homo sapiens company built seawater canals and seawater farmlands in the low-lying areas on all sides of the Sahara Desert, the air humidity in the Sahara region has increased slightly.
The extremely low temperature at night causes water molecules in the air to condense on the back of the solar panels, thereby gradually increasing the local surface humidity.
Now, the Sapiens Company has invested some organic fertilizer and sand in these grids, and then sowed seeds of various low-growing drought-resistant herbaceous plants.
Many places have turned into lush grasslands.
Sapiens, which has always believed that it can control the earth's climate, is far ahead in this regard.
Li Qingye also participated in several climate-related seminars in Africa, discussing how to control the climate of the Sahara Desert.
Solidifying the mobile desert areas of the Sahara Desert is a link in regulating the earth's climate.
Of course, Li Qingye also knows some unknown confidential projects, such as the ocean current regulation project.
As for how to control ocean currents, researchers at Sapiens have conducted various simulations and analyses and have come up with a number of solutions.
For example, dense guidance towers are built on the seabed. These guidance towers are required to be able to regulate seawater temperature, salinity, pH, seaweed concentration, oxygen concentration, etc.
This project currently has several test sites, such as several core straits in Southeast Asia and several ocean currents in the Ceylon Ocean, which are all test targets.
Originally, Sapiens would not have conducted actual testing of climate control research so quickly.
However, with the interruption of the North Atlantic Current, which in turn caused systematic chaos in global ocean currents, this gave Homo sapiens an opportunity.
Anyway, the global ocean currents are now in chaos, so Sapiens Company does not need to be too restricted when conducting experiments on controlling and guiding ocean currents.
By regulating the parameters of seawater inflow and outflow in the Strait of Malacca and the Strait of Lombok, many researchers have found that the climate can be controlled.
But this requires a major premise, that is, to completely control the entire earth. Whether it is sea transportation, land, or glaciers, sufficient control equipment needs to be deployed.
In addition, a global climate simulation system should be established . It would be best if a device to block solar energy could be built in low-Earth orbit, such as a low-Earth orbit solar power generation system.
In this way, the intensity of solar radiation reaching the earth, ocean currents, ground temperature, air humidity, etc. can be controlled.
Although the climate control mechanism is just in its infancy, Li Qingye is still very confident .
After all, this is also the core of the promotion of a first-level civilization. If we can't even control the climate and geological activities of the mother planet, we can't be called a first-level civilization.
Li Qingye came to his senses and walked around the venue again before leaving Sing Tao with several security guards and heading to the next stop, Thonburi.
