You know, until the original body died of malnutrition, the drought in this world did not end.
Except for the good control in Z country, other places have long been in chaos, and I don’t know how many people have died.
Country Z even returned to the first place in population as a result.
Of course, it may be related to the fact that people in country Z have become more interested in having children in recent years.
Yes, it’s the end of the world. Not only are people not afraid of having children, they even love having children.
The reason is actually extremely simple - they are afraid of such an environment, and it is not safe to give birth to a child; there is also a more important reason, there is a sign-in system, and if they have more children, they can control the income of their sign-in system before the children grow up. Own.
After all, not everyone is like Linlang, who can control their income according to the stars. Many people regard their children's income as their own.
In this case, if you find that every more child you have, you can earn an additional 20,000 yuan a month, who wouldn't want to have more children?
So before the end of the world, the fertility rate was low, but the stimulus was still not in place. However, if the stimulus was in place, everyone would be vying to have children.
Because everyone is vying to have children, the number of newborns has exploded. It is said that last year alone, there were 20 to 30 million births, reaching the highest peak in history, which is scary.
However, the state should not control the population, because although there are many births, the number of deaths has also reached its peak, so there is no fear that there will be too many births and the state cannot afford rations.
Calculated, there are about the same number of people born as dead every year, so the country has not yet worried about rationing.
If there are far more people alive than dead, and the population becomes larger and larger, and the country cannot afford rationing, then it may only worry about control.
When it comes to drought, countries are studying the causes.
Because according to theory, it rains, then water flows into rivers, evaporates, rises into clouds, and rains again. This is a cycle. How can the cycle be broken?
As long as we find the reason why the cycle is broken, we may be able to save the drought.
The current view is that the evaporated water does not turn into clouds, but simply dissipates into the sky.
Countries are studying how to continue the cycle.
They are all afraid that, as in history, there will be drought for millions of years, and the planet will usher in another mass extinction of life.
Linlang is not very good at scientific research on meteorology. Although she has been to many worlds, in most of them she just eats and drinks. Although she sometimes learns something, she has not learned anything about meteorology yet. Science, so I can't help much. I can only think about how she should deal with it if the drought continues?
Currently, the wells in the countryside are out of water, and Zhang’s father and mother are preparing to drill deeper wells to obtain groundwater.
But this is not a long-term solution. If you dig too deep, the taste of the water will change. Even though Linlang bought them water purification equipment, the taste will not change, and it may not be used because it is too deep. , who knows what minerals it contains and whether drinking it will be harmful to the human body.
So after a few years, the water in the deep wells dries up again, and no more wells can be dug. Even if they are dug, the water cannot be drank. At that time, all the water will be drank is the water saved and the water obtained from the sign-in system. .
At present, the main water source in countries around the world is desalination of seawater and water extraction from icebergs. The groundwater has basically been eaten up long ago, and it is no longer drinkable if we dig deeper.
Although it is a drought, the temperature has not increased, so the icebergs have not melted, and there is still ice that can be melted to obtain water.
In addition, although there have been droughts for many years, the ocean is vast after all, so the ocean has not been completely dried, and sea water can be desalinated from the ocean and used.
But this one also has a head. Once it is removed, it will be gone.
Moreover, doing so will make life in the ocean extinct. Most countries do not want to see marine life become extinct, so they have initiatives to protect the ocean. After all, there is a sign-in system. At least drinking water is not so urgent, so countries can use as little as possible. Desalination of water in the ocean.
Then there is the widespread use and research of air water generators.
Although the air is dry now and not much water can be produced, one thing is one thing. Anyway, there is a drought and there is sunshine. The solar air water generator can produce water without even using ordinary electricity. Not to mention too much, at least it can produce more water. It’s always good to have a drink, right?
Because there has been drought for many years, many drought-intolerant plants on land have almost died, but those drought-tolerant plants are still holding on, such as cacti.
Of course, although many plants died, they were not really extinct, because all countries have tried to find ways to reserve some places in their own countries for these plants to survive and provide centralized support, so that when rainfall occurs in the future, these plants can survive again. come over.
As for food, after years of hard work, air-synthesized starch is now commercially available and available in large quantities.
Although the taste is definitely not as good as grain, and the nutrition is worse than grain, the key is to mass-produce something out of nothing.
Of course, the reason why mass production is possible is mainly because food is getting more and more expensive.
When the price of food becomes more and more expensive, artificial starch, which may have been very expensive to produce in the past, is no longer expensive and can be produced.
And when the money is made from selling it after production, it can support further research in this area and further reduce costs. This is complementary to each other.
Linlang felt that she might not have to worry about eating anymore. Although it was a bit unpalatable and less nutritious, it could still fill her stomach.
The key is to drink. After all, just relying on the sign-in system is not enough, because although everyone’s chance of getting water is not small, it is not that they can get one bottle a day, and on average, they can’t get one bottle a day. If the country has no water Supply, relying solely on the sign-in system will make people die of thirst.
Nowadays, countries are also anxious about this issue. After all, the oceans are running out of water. Icebergs alone may not be able to supply water to so many people in the world.
Moreover, many countries have already gone to great lengths to protect water resources, which makes people worry about the world situation.
All in all, the world is not in a good place.
Although the world situation is not very good, the stock markets of various countries are soaring in unison. It is probably because there is no other way to make money. Everyone is addicted to this virtual game, and we don’t know when this prosperous situation will end.
If the water problem can be solved, the stock market will continue to prosper. However, if the water problem remains unresolved, this will always be a big bomb and will one day affect the stock market.
Linlang didn't have a solution for the water problem.
In her world, water can also be synthesized artificially, but she doesn't know how.
Of course, everyone knows that water can be synthesized artificially, but that is only in the laboratory. The kind Linlang said is low-cost and safe synthesis in large quantities. Linlang didn't know how to do this method.
People in this world are not stupid. Naturally, they are also thinking of ways to do this. They want to reduce the cost of synthetic water and then mass-produce it safely.
There is no way, current technology cannot safely produce large quantities.
