The acquisition of red soil resources has laid a solid foundation for mankind to transform the soil structure of the Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert and Victoria Desert in western Oceania on a large scale.
To this end, mankind has launched an unprecedented and massive desert transformation plan, which is called the "New World" plan.
Based on the geographical location and climate characteristics of the three deserts, as well as the different climate zones of the earth, the "New World" plan will transform six types of corresponding climates: farmland area, forest area, grassland area, wet area and mountain area. and terrain features.
The six types of areas respectively bear human needs for food crops and forest resources, as well as the regulation of macroclimate and water conservation.
The "New World" program is jointly managed by the United Nations Environment Program and the United Nations Science and Technology Agency. The overall person in charge is Liu Hanyang, Director-General of the Science and Technology Agency.
Although humans only receive 5% of the energy produced by the Dyson Sphere, relying on its inexhaustible and huge energy supply, the 5% energy quota is enough to carry out such a large-scale desert transformation project.
Although the topographic characteristics and roles of the 6 types of areas are not quite the same, they all require the replacement of desert quicksand and gravel with red soil for plant growth.
This project is quite large, covering almost all the desert areas allocated to mankind, covering an area of nearly 2.3 million square kilometers.
The three desert areas have become a huge construction site. Tens of thousands of various types of construction machinery and hundreds of thousands of people are involved in this massive project of replacing quicksand with red soil.
According to the requirements of the Environment Agency and the Science and Technology Agency, all quicksand and gravel from the desert surface to about 1 meter underground must be removed, and then covered with red soil about 50 centimeters thick.
The biggest difficulty in the entire reconstruction plan is the excavation of about 1 meter of quicksand and gravel, which is equivalent to turning over a vast area of 2.3 million square kilometers.
It will account for 65% of the entire project volume and consume 80% of the entire construction period.
In order to complete the excavation work as soon as possible, Liu Hanyang took the lead in organizing a group of scientific research and public relations groups with many scientific and technological talents as the backbone in engineering machinery, electromechanical, materials and automation control, artificial intelligence, etc.
The goal of the scientific research public relations team is to develop a large-scale autonomous engineering robot that can measure, excavate, and transport quicksand and gravel.
After reverse engineering the flying combat mecha of Dark River Company, and after nearly three months of hard work, Liu Hanyang's team finally developed a large-scale autonomous engineering robot with the above functions and quickly put it into mass production.
The introduction of large-scale autonomous engineering robots has greatly accelerated the progress of the project. They do not need to add any fuel, and only need to provide abundant electric energy to drive, so they can complete the measurement, excavation and transportation of quicksand and gravel day and night.
The original 9-month construction period was compressed to 3 months.
One month later, a giant embedded pit about 1 meter deep was forcibly excavated in the desert area covering millions of square kilometers of construction area. The excavated quicksand and gravel accumulated into thousands of huge mountains.
The height of the mountain exceeds 800 meters, and some even exceed a thousand meters.
According to the entire transformation plan, in addition to retaining part of the mountain to form stretches of mountains with different altitudes, these mountains accumulated with huge amounts of quicksand and gravel were transported to the north and south coasts of Oceania.
The entire transfer work took nearly 20% of the construction period.
They were dumped into the vast blue sea in large quantities and in batches. The quantity dumped was astonishingly large, directly pushing the nearly 2,000 kilometers of coastline from the north to the south of Oceania 5 kilometers into the sea!
While transporting these huge amounts of quicksand and gravel, the project of laying out red soil began on the nearly 3 million square kilometers of desert that had been excavated.
The project progressed relatively quickly and was easy to

Implementation, the spreading autonomous robots developed by Liu Hanyang's team played an important role, and they all carried out construction operations without human participation.
Thousands of autonomous spreading robots started construction simultaneously from the north and south directions. They spread the red soil layer by layer on the desert like sowing seeds.
The height setting of 50cm is not bad at all.
No matter day or night, sunny or rainy, they work day and night on nearly 3 million square kilometers of desert, never getting tired...
If you are in the high-altitude orbit of the earth, you can see their large-scale operation site just by looking at the earth.
During the day, the momentum is like a rainbow and the scale is unprecedented.
At night, the light is bright and vast.
Thousands of sowing autonomous robots are like rows of unpredictable magicians, transforming the desert into a vibrant brick-red world in the blink of an eye.
The nearly one-month-long red soil laying project has ended. The originally boundless desert has been replaced by boundless red soil in the vast area from 120 degrees east longitude to 135 degrees east longitude.
The originally dry, harsh and lifeless area will soon become a rich, moist and fertile land full of vitality.
The surface composition of this area has also undergone earth-shaking changes. What was once a plain has turned into a fertile land dominated by plains, with rolling hills, ravines, and mountains.
Its surface will continue to change under human modification.
In order to change the climate type of this vast area, humans had already modified the climate of this vast area long before the soil war started.
Launching three super blowers equipped with controllable nuclear fusion engines into the troposphere is one of them.
Each of these three super blowers is about 300 meters in diameter. They are located over the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean respectively in winter and summer. Relying on their powerful power, they continuously blow the northwest monsoon and southeast monsoon to the three deserts. hinterland.
Different seasons and different monsoons carry sufficient water vapor to transport a large amount of warm and humid air to the three desert areas, resulting in abundant rainfall.
The entire adjustment process is completed by computer, but the intensity of rainfall can also be adjusted by adjusting the amount of water vapor transported under manual intervention.
The precise regulation of rainfall directly affects local climate characteristics and temperature.
After the three super blowers were put into use, and after continuous testing and correction, the area from the south of the Great Sandy Desert to the north of the Victoria Desert gradually changed from a tropical desert climate to a savanna and tropical monsoon climate.
The northern part of the Great Sandy Desert and the southern part of the Victoria Desert gradually change from a savanna climate to a tropical rainforest climate and a humid subtropical climate.
However, a complete change in climate requires corresponding surface plants to form a closed sustainable ecological chain, which can ultimately form corresponding climate characteristics and ecosystems.
For example, corresponding broad-leaved plants, root plants, etc. should be planted in tropical rainforest climate zones, and corresponding hilly and low mountain monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forests, mid-mountain mountain monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forests, etc. should be planted in tropical monsoon climates.
Based on the above factors, under the leadership of Liu Hanyang, the Environment Agency and the Science and Technology Agency, in collaboration with the corresponding functional departments, launched an afforestation project of unprecedented scale in human history.
Afforestation projects include not only gymnosperms and angiosperms, such as our common trees and shrubs, but also a large number of fungi and lichens.
Except for people with limited mobility, weak constitution, and children under 12 years old, most people participated in this huge tree planting project, and the number of people planting trees exceeded 3 billion.
But humans are only auxiliaries in this huge project, and fully automatic tree-planting robots are the main force.
For a time, the entire afforestation area was formed with tree planting robots as the main force and humans as the main force.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
With its auxiliary working form, plants of up to 5 classes, 12 orders, more than 9,000 genera, and more than 50,000 species are planted in different climate regions.
The entire afforestation project lasted 18 months. In order to cope with such a large-scale project, 93 newly built seawater desalination plants were operating at almost full capacity, but they still could not meet the huge fresh water gap.
Including the use of three super blowers equipped with controllable nuclear fusion engines to transport a large amount of warm and humid air to the tree planting area, causing rainfall, which cannot satisfy the huge fresh water gap.
In desperation, humans can only temporarily reduce the area of afforestation, and the original area has been reduced by 55%.
Although only 20% of the surface is covered by vegetation, the originally barren and barren land gradually presents lush scenery.
The prototypes of six types of terrain features, including farmland areas, forest areas, grassland areas, wet areas and mountain areas, have basically taken shape.
A closed sustainable ecological chain and a preliminary self-sufficient ecological circle are formed.
In particular, farmland areas and grassland areas have reached considerable scale, and agricultural output and animal husbandry output are becoming increasingly stable.
The production of a rich variety of grain crops, vegetables and fruits has provided mankind with much-needed food supply, and the development of cattle, sheep, poultry and other breeding industries has provided mankind with abundant meat and protein.
The food problem that plagues mankind has been alleviated.
In order to accommodate a larger population, humans have built thousands of new mega-city clusters in the three desert areas. These cities are composed of super cities and small and medium-sized cities, and are surrounded by satellite cities, which together form a new residential area for humans.
If you are in the high-altitude orbit of the earth, that continent hanging alone above the ocean, the vast area from 120 degrees east longitude to 135 degrees east longitude, was originally a dim area, but has been illuminated by a bright and stretching group of lights.
It's like a huge light network connected to each other against the blue background.
This is a new place for human beings to live.
In order to improve the living environment between urban agglomerations, humans launched the "Super Canal" project.
It is planned to dig two new grand canals to connect different urban groups with river water. The two canals will run through the entire inland area of Oceania in two directions, from north to south and from south to north.
Since the beginning of construction, the two canals have been designed and constructed strictly in accordance with the layout of the urban agglomeration.
The first canal is called the Western Canal. It starts from the mouth of the Fitzroy River in the north and goes south along the Great Sandy Desert. After passing through the Gibson Desert and the Victoria Desert, it reaches Esperance on the southern coast of Oceania.
During the construction process, the Western Line Canal took full advantage of the terrain structure and inland natural lakes, connecting Disappointment Lake, Carnegie Lake and Cowan Lake in the south, forming a waterway system intertwined with canals and inner lakes. , and to a certain extent expanded the area of the three major lakes.
The second canal is called the Eastern Canal. It starts from Joseph Bonaparte Bay in the north, goes south along Lake Argyle, runs through the desert hinterland, connects Lake Mackay, and then continues south to Cork in the Great Australian Bight. Albidi.
The construction of the east and west canals connected the north and south coasts of Oceania. The abundant water not only improved the living environment, but also provided a steady supply of water for desalination plants.
At the same time, the canal has also formed two golden waterways between different urban agglomerations, allowing inland areas to directly connect to the sea.
The "Super Canal" project lasted for half a year, progressing at a speed of 15 kilometers per day, and was completed almost simultaneously with the afforestation project.
The construction of large-scale urban agglomerations, the laying of 2.3 million square kilometers of red soil, climate regulation and change in three desert areas, large-scale afforestation projects, and the implementation of a number of heavy projects such as the "Super Canal" plan have given mankind a A new place to live with diverse climates and beautiful surroundings.
A "new world" for mankind is beginning to take shape.
