Chapter 417 Melting Antarctica
Through diplomatic means or technical cooperation, China has reached a cooperation plan for water vine trees with other countries to jointly transform deserts and semi-arid areas.

Time is slowly passing by, and the high-altitude space satellites have photographed that the yellow area of ​​the earth is gradually decreasing, and the green covers most of the area, and it begins to spread slowly.

The development of the moon is also progressing slowly, and Huaxia has begun to establish several moon cities.

Through these lunar cities, a strict lunar protection network has been constructed.

Even if other countries and organizations tentatively wanted to colonize the moon, they were expelled by the relevant departments of China.

The countries led by the United States have devoted more energy to building a stable space city with the Saturn 8 launch vehicle.

Huaxia puts its main energy on the development of the moon, but also cooperates with European countries to continue to expand the international space city.

The expansion of the international space city involves most of the energy of the alliance formed by the United States, and they cannot invest too many resources in the development of outer space.

Huaxia organized aerospace companies to develop resources in the asteroid belt and turned the moon into a material center.

The Moon is primarily responsible for processing resources mined in the asteroid belt and Mars.

China is gradually using the moon as its base to develop space resources farther away.

A gigantic ocean-going cargo ship sails the South Pacific on its way to Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.

The captain is resting leisurely in the wheelhouse. Now the ocean-going ship is commanded by a GPS navigation system, and can communicate with all parts of the world through the neutrino communication device.

The freighter also uses the automatic driving function commanded by the quantum computer. He only needs to give instructions in an emergency, and there is no need to keep an eye on the various operating data of the freighter as before.

"Captain, look at the radar, there are icebergs, there are icebergs ahead."

The captain was awakened immediately. He glanced at the data on the radar, and there was a huge iceberg floating on the sea in front of the freighter.

He immediately drove the freighter manually, adjusted the course slightly, and prepared to avoid the iceberg ahead.

At the same time, he shared the data of this iceberg to the international maritime channel through the neutrino communication device, reminding the ships to pay attention to safety.

"How did this happen, can this route still go now?

This is already the 27th iceberg this month and the 268th iceberg this year. When did the South Pacific icebergs become so active. "

The captain didn't know what caused the iceberg to be so active.

He knew that if his freighter hit the iceberg, it would have catastrophic consequences.

Famous Argentine journalist Vickers collects information on glaciers in the South Pacific.

The documentary "Melting Antarctica" was filmed.

This documentary records the changes in Antarctica in detail through a continuous year of tracking.

Temperatures near Antarctica have begun to rise, and the ice caps on the edge of Antarctica have begun to melt.

Almost every day, an iceberg breaks off Antarctica's ice sheet and travels down ocean currents to the South Pacific.

Some icebergs melted slowly while drifting, and some icebergs brought very disastrous consequences to the world.

They collided with fishing boats on the surface or submarines on the bottom of the sea, causing great casualties.

Once "Melting Antarctica" was broadcast, it caused a huge response.

American meteorologist Alexander Byrd, in an interview with reporters, revealed the truth about the melting of the Antarctic week.

"Some people say that Antarctica is now melting, which is the result of human industrial civilization.

I want to veto this point of view, the factors causing global warming now are completely different from the factors causing global warming in the past.

In the past, the main factor of global warming was the distance between the earth and the sun, and the secondary factor was greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane emitted by industrial production.

As fossil energy is gradually eliminated by humans, geothermal power and nuclear power have become the absolute main force for power generation.

Major breakthroughs have been made in battery technology, and electric motors have fully replaced internal combustion engines.

Greenhouse gas emissions, a problem that could not be solved before, has been solved indirectly with the development of technology.

In the current global warming, the distance between the earth and the sun still plays a decisive role.

But the distance between the earth and the sun is not completely a natural factor like before, with the development of gravitational technology.

Every little gravitational fluctuation in the solar system will affect the gravitational situation of the entire system of the solar system.

With the large-scale application of gravity, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes, and it has become a decisive factor affecting the distance between the earth and the moon.

The distance between the earth and the moon is one meter, and the increase in the energy it absorbs sunlight is astronomical.

Now that the earth's orbit is getting closer to the sun every year, the global warming process will intensify in the future.

The secondary factor of global warming is the desert greening project launched by Huaxia.

As the desert turned into shrubbery, the entire atmospheric system underwent major changes. Atmospheric circulation brought warm and humid air near Antarctica, causing the temperature in Antarctica to rise. "

After Alexander Byrd was interviewed by reporters, he published relevant papers on authoritative journals.

This paper has been reviewed by many experts, who basically agree that Alexander Byrd's point of view is basically correct, but some details need more precise verification.

Japan Fuji TV: "Has the world become so dangerous now?
Our country is located in an earthquake zone, and the land area is very small, which already makes us fearful.

Now Antarctica is beginning to melt, and the abundant water resources on Antarctica will pour into the ocean, directly raising the world's sea level by about 60 meters.

Most of our country will be submerged. Is our country going to perish?

The most economically developed cities in the world are basically located near the coastline.

The average land height of many countries in the world is below 60 meters.

These cities and countries will be submerged, and to what extent civilization will regress. "

The pessimistic thoughts put forward by Wa country affect many people, especially the people in the areas that will be submerged, and their anxiety continues to increase.

"There is no need to worry about melting Antarctica at all.

The melting of Antarctica is a very long process, it will last for hundreds of years.

If it happened in the past, we can only do nothing.

But now is the aerospace age, and planets such as the moon and Mars are extremely short of water.

Every time we transport a ton of water outside the earth, scientists need to study and judge the impact on the earth.

With the increase in water consumption in areas such as the moon and Mars, it is already a very good result that the melted water resources in Antarctica can fill this gap.

Now scientists even worry that, together with the water resources in the Arctic Ocean and high mountain areas, they may not be able to meet the consumption of water resources on these planets.

Large-scale immigration to the moon, Mars and other places, these places will still be very short of water. "

The flow of solid water stored above Antarctica into the ocean would indeed have disastrous consequences.

But now water resources are not just circulating inside the earth. The water resources sent to outer space every day are astronomical figures.
