Chapter 122: Resistance

The second group really designed a bubble with strong toughness.

And I have tried blowing bubbles out in the sea.

But then they encountered a huge problem. When the bubbles were full of air, it could easily float in the sky.

But when there is sea water in the bubbles, it cannot float.

The second group conducted an experiment, and large bubbles with a diameter of tens of meters could only be lifted out with less than one kilogram of sea water.

They have tried blowing bubbles a kilometer-sized one-kilometer, and they can carry very limited water.

So they started to blow bubbles with hydrogen, and they could bring a lot of water, but the cost increased sharply.

A huge amount of hydrogen is needed to be used in a bubble of one kilometer level. In the future, the hydrogen cannot be recycled after the bubble explodes.

Moreover, the explosion process of the bubbles is difficult to control. If the explosion is too early, it will not reach the desert, and if it is too late, it will float abroad.

The main driving force for bubble movement is natural wind, but the wind direction is also an uncertain factor, and bubbles often go off as they walk.

In short, there are too many uncontrollable things. This project was dismissed in the third year of Jiang Yu hibernation.

Now the second group has a new project, which they call the Butterfly Project!

The researchers introduced: "The butterfly effect in the climate is real, and the most vivid metaphor is that a butterfly flapping its wings may trigger a hurricane a thousand kilometers away.

"Of course this is just a metaphor. Meteorology is more complicated than imagined, but there is also the saying "meteorological trigger point".

"It not only makes small changes at a certain key location, but also affects the weather changes in large areas.

"But there are two difficulties in this idea. First, this trigger point is difficult to find, and secondly, the so-called 'small changes', which are small for nature and very huge for humans."

Another expert introduced: "We are now working hard to build a global climate model, hoping to find the underlying meteorological laws and how to calculate the trigger points as soon as possible.

“In addition to finding trigger points on Earth, we also hope to build a structure similar to a reflector in space that can refract the sun’s light and heat somewhere on Earth.

"Or use solar energy, use microwaves in space, change positive and negative electrons in clouds in a certain area, and cool down certain places.

"This will generally control the global weather and thus give more precipitation in the desert."

Jiang Yu nodded: "This idea is very avant-garde. What is the chance of success?"

The researchers introduced: "If you spend 10 or 20 years of hard work in this area, you should be able to gain something.

"But the biggest resistance of this project is that space agencies in various countries do not value it. It is difficult for us to break through related technologies alone.

"In addition, the PDC members are also obstructing this project because some countries are afraid that we will use this project as a meteorological weapon."

Jiang Yu pinched his forehead, why did the biggest resistance to his plans be his own?

He took a deep breath and said, "I will use the wall-faced person to try my best to gain resources for you."

"Even if the PDC is not given, the country will give it some. Even if it is not given to you in China, don't stop the project you are doing. I will find a way."

The researchers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yu woke up from hibernation, and they were more confident.

Qi Guanglu said at this time: "In fact, there is a feasible project in the second group, but there is only one idea now."

Jiang Yu made a gesture to say something.

Qi Guanglu continued: "This idea is based on artificial starch. Since starch can be synthesized, water will be easier to synthesize. You can consider synthesising water directly in the desert.

"But now, water synthesized by chemical means is very expensive to use in open-air agriculture.

“The process also needs to be optimized, as well as designing the way water is synthesized in the desert.”

Jiang Yu felt that this project seemed more feasible: "Is this project started now?"

Qi Guanglu shook his head: "No, because of the funds..."

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "Two projects are carried out together, funds are not a problem!"

Qi Guanglu breathed a sigh of relief, and it would be easier to deal with the support of the wall-faced person.

After reading the progress of the three groups, I had almost the same day. The experimental field of the first group was in the desert. Jiang Yu and Qi Guanglu made an appointment to go and see it tomorrow.

When he returned to the car, Di Fengyi saw that Jiang Yu was a little tired: "Go back and rest?"

Jiang Yu pinched his temple and shook his head: "Go back to the Star Defense Department and go to the old leader for a walk."

He had a premonition that his next action would require strong support from the Ministry of Star Defense.

Except for the corners of Chief Ji's eyes, there was almost no change from five years ago.

Jiang Yu did not mention work matters, so the two chatted for more than ten minutes. However, when they were leaving, Jiang Yu said: "When I recover, I will get a trip to the United Nations. Foreign resources are not in vain."

Chief Ji stood up and gave it to him: "Before you go, communicate with the diplomats, we will still fully support our wall-faced person."

Jiang Yu smiled and nodded. It was enough to say this.

Then he went to Chang Weisi to sit down, and before leaving, he did not forget to take away the "wage" from five years ago.

On the way back to his residence, Di Fengyi took the opportunity to report: "The space elevator in the mainstream defense plan is expected to take another four to five years to complete.

"The eight plans implemented together with the mainstream defense plan have now undergone some new changes, so I have sorted out some of them."

Seeing Jiang Yu nodding, Di Fengyi continued: "The Wall-Facing Plan has been said before that the Strategic Intelligence Plan is implemented by the Strategic Intelligence Bureau of the Planetary Defense Council.

"The plan actually accelerated a human brain with repeated nuclear explosions to one percent of the speed of light, and sent it to the invading fleet of the Three-Body Stars.

"The plan is not fully disclosed, and people familiar with the matter either call it a feat, praising the plan's plan's plan's plan's courage and the one who belongs to that brain.

"Some people say this is something that only lunatics can do, and they devalue this plan to nothing."

Di Fengyi shook his head: "It's strange, Fengping has gone through two extremes again."

Jiang Yu said: "This is because the actions against the Three-Body Stars have exceeded the traditional moral concepts of human beings.

"Commenters do not have a reference and can only express their opinions based on their own subjective views, so it is easy to go to two extremes."

Di Fengyi nodded and continued to report: "Space Marines plan to report to you after a while.

“The fraud scheme is said to be no further progress, and the PDC is preparing to cancel the plan.

"The plan for ternary computers has been relatively smooth, and many places have begun to apply this kind of calculation.

“So far, computing power has just tied with binary calculators, and it is said that within five years, computing power can be doubled.

"The scout planned to use a new telescope just launched into space when you were hibernating, using cosmic dust to observe the Tri-Body Fleet that was heading towards the solar system for the first time.
