Homo sapiens.

Chapter 521
Thomas and others are still self-aware.

Don't look at the sudden climate change that may cause serious agricultural production reductions. In fact, it has no real impact on Tianlong people like them.

After all, no matter how difficult it is, Thomas and others can live comfortably.

If there is no Homo sapiens company, even if there is a sudden climate change and the earth enters an ice age, the Tianlong people will not care about the life and death of ordinary consumables.

Now they are trying to stabilize prices and restore agricultural production capacity, not because of their conscience.

But in order to ensure their own strength, these consumables are needed to work for them.

Without these consumables, everything would fall apart, not to mention competing with Homo sapiens, even self-protection would be very difficult.

After all, there are only a few people in the Tianlong group.

Many people may think that artificial intelligence, automation technology, and robot technology are very powerful now, and artificial intelligence and robots can be used to replace ordinary consumables, so that there is no need to worry about food supply.

Indeed, the idea is brilliant.

But many people ignore a problem.

That is, computers and robots also need to be manufactured by humans, designed by humans, and maintained by humans.

You said, you can directly use automated production lines to produce computers and robots?This reduces the consumption of consumables.

But what about design and maintenance?What about technology research and development?

Can't let artificial intelligence design, maintain and engage in technology research and development by itself?

If artificial intelligence can do this level.

Congratulations to human civilization, your historical mission has been completed, you can get ready to receive lunch, now is the era of omnic civilization.

Obviously, at this stage, artificial intelligence has no way to design, maintain, and engage in technology research and development by itself.

And the number of Tianlong people is too small, and most of these guys are not science and engineering.

Let them play tricks, financial games, eat, drink, and have fun. Maybe they are masters, engaged in industrial production and technology research and development, it is really embarrassing for them.

With the development of modern industry, many industries need too many industrial technicians.

Take the computer industry as an example.

Chip manufacturing equipment, chip manufacturing raw materials, chip design and manufacturing, computer supporting components, assembly, software design, post-maintenance, etc., the entire industry chain needs at least several million practitioners.

The Tianlong people add up to only a few hundred thousand people, and if you add the dog legs, there are only a few million people at most.

This kind of people can't even fill one computer industry, let alone dozens of other large industries and thousands of subdivided industries.

To maintain an entire modern industrial chain, at least 3 million high-quality science and engineering populations are needed.

See clearly, it is 3 million high-quality science and engineering population, not 3 million migrant workers or 3 million liberal arts population.

Now the free world is pieced together, and the four major forces combined can barely maintain the operation of the entire industrial chain.

But if the population continues to decrease, the consequence will be the gradual collapse of the industrial chain.

Once the industrial chain collapses, they will have no power to fight Homo sapiens.

This is why Thomas and others are willing to cut meat for ordinary consumables. For Thomas and others, there is actually no difference between tens of trillions of dollars and trillions of dollars.

The limit of money exceeding [-] million is actually a number.

Everyone in the Morgan family, if they just eat, drink and have fun all day long, they can't spend hundreds of millions a year.

And the whole of America is actually owned by the City on a Hill Council.

If the money is gone, it can be earned again.

If America collapses, then the Morgan family, Rockefeller family, Mellon family and their ilk will definitely have no way to stay cool.

That's why these vampires are willing to bleed profusely.

Secret video conference.

After some wrangling, they finally reached an agreement.

In order to jointly build a nuclear power plant, the fourth-generation nuclear fission reactor technology based on thorium-based molten salt was first determined as the technical standard for the current new nuclear power plant.

The other is to strengthen cooperation in technology research and development of nuclear fusion power generation.

Besides.

Thomas also proposed to establish a strategic reserve system of bulk agricultural products in the free world to ensure that the four major forces can deal with possible large-scale natural disasters in the future.

If possible, find ways to support the marginal worlds in West Asia, South America, and Africa.

"Support the marginal world?" Caesar thought for a while, did he still object.

Thomas solemnly reminded: "Everyone, we can't give up those forces in the marginal world. If their manpower, market, and resources are obtained by Homo sapiens, then we will be even more passive."

Master Feng looked embarrassed: "But we don't have much strategic food reserves. The population of the marginal world is about 25 billion, and we need a lot of food!"

Louis Comte did not immediately refuse, but asked: "What is the food gap in the marginal world?"

With the internal intelligence support of ABCD, Thomas is quite aware of the current international food supply and demand situation:

"The gap in Latin America is not big. The Aztecs need about 2000 million tons of grain. ABCD can sell a batch of grain in North America to them at a low price."

"The food gap in Africa is currently filled by the cheap food from Homo sapiens. We can only get a part of the market in the Abdwad region and the Transvaal region."

Thomas paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "The key now is the West Asia region. We must find a way to squeeze out a batch of about 3000 million tons of grain to ensure that this place will not be bought by Homo sapiens."

"3000 tons?"

Everyone argued again.

After all, 3000 million tons of grain is not a small amount. If it was in the past, the four major forces would have a way to produce this amount of grain.

Now they have to be cautious, for fear that if the inventory is not enough for internal use, the problem will be serious.

After all, the homeland is their base, and the importance of the marginal world must be less than that of their homeland.

After weighing the pros and cons, they managed to scrape together 3000 million tons of grain and must stabilize the entire West Asia.

When it comes to West Asia, Thomas raised another more difficult question: "Everyone, the Mediterranean-Dead Sea-Red Sea Canal project, I think it should be suspended."

"Pause?" Mastervon thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, I agree."

None of the parties had much opinion on this proposal.

Because there is no way to stop now.

The sea level is falling. Now continue to dig the Mediterranean-Dead Sea-Red Sea Canal. Even if it can be completed in the next few years, once the sea level drops by more than 10 meters, the canal will be directly abolished.

In fact, not only this canal, but also the two canals in Central America, the Ottoman Strait, and the Strait of Gibraltar are at risk of becoming land.

Think of the canal breaks in Central America.

Everyone started discussing in whispers.

In the absence of a way to reverse global cooling, the paralysis of these maritime transportation hubs is very likely to become a reality.

In order to deal with this crisis, they can only think of ways to increase some land railway transportation lines, as well as oil and gas pipeline projects in West Asia.

In addition, Lucia's oil and gas pipeline also plans to expand its scale.

Under the double squeeze of the Sapiens company and the sudden climate change, the major forces finally dare not compare themselves, but try to solve these crises.

However, just as they were discussing how to solve the problem.

Another crisis is quietly approaching.
