While the Tiberians were transforming and constructing their settlements, the people on Earth also started construction in full swing in and around the three deserts.
For a time, the earth became a large construction site, with countless tower cranes and construction equipment standing in different areas of the earth, covering almost the entire surface.
The sound of roaring machines echoed day and night, resounding throughout the entire land. From the scorching deserts to the icy ice fields, to the vast expanse of prairie, it was a lively scene.
This scene, accompanied by the continuous immigration of both parties, never stopped and lasted for a whole year.
Within this year, the Earthlings and the Tiberians have returned to a state of strategic balance. This is due to the Earthlings' continued expansion of nuclear bomb silos and long-range orbital launch devices spread across three desert areas.
For a whole year, both sides were busy with immigration and infrastructure construction, and had no time to care about anything else. It was rare that no large-scale conflict occurred, and the earth ushered in a rare period of peace.
There have been countless conflicts where the Earthlings' fishing boats entered the non-marine exclusive economic zone 200 nautical miles away, resulting in gunfire between the two sides.
Other than that, there is no conflict.
This is also a helpless move for the people on earth. With a population of several billion, the three barren desert areas cannot provide sufficient food supply. As a last resort, mankind has turned its attention to the rich and vast ocean.
The ocean is like a large food bank. It has been one of the indispensable food sources for mankind for a long time before the arrival of the Tiberians.
Seafood consumed every year accounts for more than one-third of the human diet.
According to statistics, more than half of the animals and plants on the earth live in the ocean. There are 49 phyla, 96 classes, and a total of about 200,000 species of organisms found.
Rich fishery resources and algae and other plants have been delicacies on the human table since ancient times.
But now, 99.9% of the ocean area on the earth's surface is occupied by the Tiberians, and the area allocated to humans is simply negligible. Although there are 200 nautical miles of marine exclusive economic zones around the north and south coasts of Oceania, excessive fishing has quickly plunged the fishery resources into a Depleted.
In response to the food crisis, humans have carried out large-scale plantability modifications in the Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert and Victoria Desert.
The first thing to face is the problem of temperature and soil, which also directly affects human residence and life in this area.
Except for a few narrow plains along the coast, 98% of the area allocated to humans by the Tabers is covered by desert. The highest temperature during the day can reach over 55 degrees, and the lowest temperature can drop to -10 degrees at night.
Before the Terrans changed the earth's yellow-red angle, although this area was still a desert, the highest daytime temperature was only around 40 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night was basically not much different.
Excessively high temperatures prevent humans from being exposed outdoors for long periods of time, otherwise it will easily lead to dehydration and sunburn. This is basically the same as the brief period of high temperatures caused by the moon moving away from the earth.
In order to cope with high temperatures, humans have modified local climates.
First, three super blowers equipped with controllable nuclear fusion engines were launched into the troposphere. Each blower is about 300 meters in diameter. Without changing fuel, the three super blowers can stay in the air for up to 137 years.
In winter, three super blowers maneuver over the Indian Ocean, blowing the formed northwest monsoon to the hinterlands of three large deserts; in summer, three super blowers maneuver over the Pacific Ocean, blowing the formed southeast monsoon to the three desert hinterlands. In the heart of the desert.
Sufficient water vapor carried by different seasons and different monsoons will flow to the three

The desert area transports a large amount of warm and moist airflow, thereby forming rainfall. Moreover, this rainfall can be artificially intervened. It will adjust the intensity of rainfall by adjusting the transport volume of water vapor.
Rainfall can not only create sufficient fresh water and moist land, but also regulate local temperatures.
This is all done through precise computer calculations, which are controlled based on surface temperature.
When the surface temperature is too high, but there is no need for rainfall at the moment, the computer will issue instructions to the super blowers to send more warm and moist airflow, but it will control the conditions for rainfall formation, that is, the number of condensation nuclei in the air. , thereby controlling rainfall.
It has the effect of only cooling but no rainfall.
On the contrary, if both the surface temperature and rainfall need to be lowered, precise control of rainfall can be achieved by increasing the number of condensation nuclei while transporting warm and moist airflow.
The temperature error is less than plus or minus 0.01 degrees, and the rainfall error is less than 0.001 mm.
Climate adjustment has caused the original tropical desert climate to gradually transform into a tropical grassland and tropical monsoon climate, which is more humid. The original tropical grassland climate has gradually transformed into a tropical rainforest climate and a subtropical humid climate.
What was once a barren land full of quicksand and dense desert desert has now become a prosperous and fertile land.
Only this cannot completely change the original climate pattern. It is also necessary to increase the planting of surface plants suitable for the corresponding climate zone in order to form a closed and cyclic ecological circle.
However, the three deserts are either yellow sand or Gobi gravel. There is no soil suitable for plant growth. Even with the blessing of climate patterns, it will take hundreds of millions of years to form the soil structure.
For this reason, transplanting soil into the three desert areas has become a top priority.
Looking at the entire human territory, except for a thin layer of soil along the coastal plain, the rest is either yellow sand gravel or alkali beach salt.
Humanity has set its sights on territorial seas, contiguous zones and the 200-nautical-mile marine exclusive economic zone, hoping to obtain some silt from the seabed. However, except for a small amount of silt in the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea, the silt in other areas is very unevenly distributed and is extremely difficult to mine. big.
In desperation, there is no choice but to give up.
As a last resort, mankind has redirected its attention to the rich areas of the earth's soil, but most of these areas are in the rich areas of the earth, but these areas already belong to the Tiberians.
No earthling is allowed to set foot there without permission.
Otherwise, the people on earth will be greeted by merciless artillery fire and cruel revenge.
According to human modification of the climate in the three desert areas, two main climate zones have been formed in this area, namely the tropical zone and the temperate zone.
Specifically, it can be divided into five main climate types, namely tropical rainforest climate, tropical monsoon climate, tropical (savanna) climate and subtropical humid climate. Some areas in the south show the characteristics of temperate monsoon climate, but the area is small.
According to the theory of pedogenesis, the occurrence, development, and evolution of soil can be highly summarized as the unity of soil and its environment. In other words, different climate zones produce different soil types.
Therefore, corresponding soil types should be matched for different climate zones to provide a better growth foundation for plants.
For example, the tropics are mainly red soil and brick red soil, while the temperate zone is mainly cinnamon soil and black soil. Of course, there are also chernozem, chestnut soil, brown soil, etc.
This requires humans to match different soil types for plants in different areas according to different climate types, in order to ultimately form a benign ecosystem.
Therefore, how to obtain the soil on which these plants depend has become a top priority.
In a brightly lit hall, Director General of the Crisis Program Snett, General Staff of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Program
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Chief of Staff Li Jianfeng, Director General of the Science and Technology Agency Liu Hanyang, and Director General of the Environment Planning Agency Suarez sat around an oval conference table. Directly in front of them was a large screen that was constantly changing.
After the soil type map, a global soil distribution map appears on the large screen.
Everyone silently stared at the distribution map in front of them. Obviously, they already had the answer in their hearts, and their originally serious faces became more serious.
"Director-General Liu Hanyang, let me ask you a question: Can we use modern technology to create the soil we need?" Snett asked.
Liu Hanyang shook his head, his eyes returned to the soil distribution map on the big screen, his expression serious.
"Excuse me, why?"
"I'll answer that," said Suarez, director-general of UNEP.
He cleared his throat and continued: "Different types of soil are formed under different geological, climatic and light conditions, after hundreds of millions of years of development and evolution."
"In other words, modern technological means cannot be used to form soil?"
Suarez did not directly answer Snett's words. He turned his eyes to Liu Hanyang aside, and Liu Hanyang nodded.
After a while, Liu Hanyang looked around the crowd and said: "Not only is our technology not up to par, but even the Taibo people, who are tens of thousands of years ahead of us humans, still have not solved the soil problem."
Liu Hanyang's words made everyone present suddenly realize, and they thought of the strange behavior of the Taibo people before.
When the Tiberians opened up farmland in the desert areas of the earth, the people on earth unexpectedly discovered that their interstellar transport ships frequently traveled between the interstellar colonial fleet 100 million kilometers away and the earth.
This phenomenon lasted for a full month.
What is loaded on the interstellar transport ship is not immigrants or other equipment, but some fluorescent granular substances. This granular substance has a certain viscosity. If you ignore its fluorescent appearance, its physical characteristics are very similar to those on Earth. Soil.
Looking back now, those fluorescent granular materials must be soil, because the Tiberians dumped all these materials into the areas they wanted to transform---several desert areas on the earth.
Even plain areas with fairly good soil conditions are no exception.
They transplanted the food crops of Tabor Star on these soils---potato-like crops that are as tall and tall as giant sequoia trees and have amazing yields.
"The red soil, brick red soil, brown soil, and black soil we need are all distributed in the above areas." Suarez's words brought everyone's thoughts back.
He pointed to the global soil distribution map on the big screen and continued: "Red soil and brick-red soil are mainly distributed in this narrow strip within the Tropic of Cancer, that is, the tropics. Brown soil and black soil are widely distributed in the temperate regions of the earth. "
"But these areas are occupied by the Tiberians." Snart said.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Jianfeng, who had never said a word. Li Jianfeng understood the meaning in Snate's eyes.
It's time for the Supreme Military Executive Council of their Crisis Planning Agency to take action.
"Since soil cannot be obtained through technical means, we can only obtain what should belong to us people on earth through extraordinary means." Li Jianfeng said calmly.
His words caused everyone present to fall into silence.
The master of the earth is no longer an earthling. According to the agreement signed between the earthlings and the Tiberians, the earthlings have no right to set foot in any area other than those stipulated in the agreement.
Antarctica, a sheet of ice, is no exception.
Wanting to get the soil on which to live means reigniting the war.
