"A beacon on a cosmic scale?"

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

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

But the problem is that such propagation is still too slow.

On a cosmic scale, the propagation of electromagnetic waves is measured in tens of thousands of years, while the speed at which the Earth is destroyed by the impact of adjacent dimensions is measured in months.

According to optimistic estimates, it is estimated that there will only be 600 months left from now until the adjacent dimension completely destroys the Earth. In such a short period of time, electromagnetic waves will not even be able to leave the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said:

"No, the speed is too slow and cannot meet our requirements."

"It seems that this plan is still too far away and we cannot invest too much energy in this direction."

"The most important thing now is to speed up technological change as soon as possible."

"It is better to ask for help from others than from yourself..."

After a moment of pause, Ye Zhou continued to ask:

"How are you doing there? Is there any breakthrough in 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 solidify quantum particles stably. This technology is still very good for communication."

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

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

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

Points in time are 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 characteristics of quantum ghosts - maybe it's not in the form of a probability cloud at all?"

"Have you ever 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, then clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, it's time for me to go back to bed. What do you say, let's go together?"

Chen Hao arranged for the two of them to live in the Huawuyuan Park. They had a convenient way back from the office. Occasionally when the get off work time was approaching, the two of them would often walk home together. This was also the reason why their relationship gradually grew closer. One of the reasons.

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

After some communication, he has discovered that the cosmic broadcast plan is not as simple as he intuitively judged at the beginning. There is no point in spending energy now. It is better to go back and have a good rest.

"Let's go, go back first, let me think about the broadcast..."

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

It was already late autumn and winter was about to begin. Even in the middle of Shu, the night wind was frighteningly cold. Lin Ling rubbed his hands and said with some emotion:

"A few years ago, I saw on the news that the summer 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 continues to worsen, will we have to face more problems caused by extreme climate."

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

After a pause for a few seconds, she continued:

"Perhaps in ten years' time, everyone will hope that the weather will be hotter, even hotter."

Ye Zhou nodded silently. He knew that Lin Ling was talking about the impact of the invasion of adjacent dimensions on global temperatures. When adjacent dimensions appear on a large scale, the average temperature on the entire earth will drop by more than 10 degrees.

By then, I'm afraid the scene of falling snow in June will appear frequently in Sichuan.

"There is no way around this. The speed of development of our energy technology cannot catch up with the speed of expansion of adjacent dimensions, so 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 will be a huge improvement if it is reflected on ordinary people."

Lin Ling nodded, holding a bunch of dry wood strips pulled out from the flower bed in her hand, shaking them unconsciously, and continued to ask:

"If the temperature really drops that much, can our food sustain it?"

Ye Zhou made some calculations in his mind and then replied:

"Currently, our grain reserves are enough to sustain the whole country for three years without any grain output. This is already a limit number. If there is more, production will not be a problem, but both storage costs and financial capital pressures will

I can’t hold it any longer.”

"So, our buffer period is actually these three years - or in other words, these three years of food."

"After the temperature drops, there will be a gap in our food supply every year. According to estimates by 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."

"With an average annual supplement of 30%, three years of grain storage can last for 10 years. We must bring grain production back to a balanced state within these ten years - no matter how bad the conditions are then."

"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 mountains in the south to develop terraced planting, the usable area will not be smaller than that in the northwest.

"

"That's because they didn't take into account the environmental ecology and soil carrying capacity. Experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are not just for nothing. This strategy has already been proposed and calculated. According to the data, even if we turn the entire south into terraced fields

, and it’s simply not enough to feed everyone.”

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

"Some people have proposed a more extreme solution - they want to knock it down directly."

"Can I fight?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Lin Ling's eyes. She did not look forward to war, but if the only solution to the problem of "letting the Chinese people survive" was war, she would use her own strength to do her best.

"So what if we fight? We can't kill all their people, right? This is actually a false proposition. The real plan is agricultural cooperation."

"When I went to Hailan before, I met a little girl named Xu Lei at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Now she is in Punjab, working on digital farmland and high-yield wheat projects. The progress is very good. As of this year, the wheat output in Punjab has increased.

It’s 20% higher.”

"If we continue to advance, doubling within three years will not be a problem."

"So exaggerated?"

Lin Ling opened his mouth in surprise.

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

Hearing Ye Zhou's teasing, Lin Ling smiled silently, and the two of them walked forward side by side. After a long time, Lin Ling continued to ask:

"What about the Tongtian River project? Where is it now?"

Ye Zhou took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened his mailbox and browsed for a while before saying:

"Judging from the report, they have basically completed the preliminary line survey and planning. The next step is to start river reconstruction and pumping station site selection."

"This is the most difficult part of the entire project. I hope they...all go well."
Chapter completed!
