"Climate? Are you referring to meteorological weapons?"

Ye Zhou asked.

“Yes, limited range, controlled use of meteorological weapons.”

Hearing Chen Hao's answer, Ye Zhou showed his head down and thought for a moment, then continued to ask:

"But what is the difference between this and nuclear weapons? They are also weapons of mass destruction... I understand, you mean that climate weapons are not weapons of destruction?"

"That's it. Climate weapons, or meteorological weapons, are actually a kind of 'secondary deterrence' that can achieve the destruction of productivity by nuclear weapons to a certain extent, but at the same time, their destruction of means of production and personnel is limited."

"During the war, meteorological weapons can continuously and on a large scale weaken the other party's productivity and exert the strike efficiency far exceeding conventional weapons."

"And at the same time, his effect is not irreversible."

"Imagine if you want to strike an industrial area, if you cannot use nuclear bombs, what you need is a huge amount of conventional weapons, and large-scale air strikes are required, which is extremely inefficient in strikes."

“But what if you do this with a meteorological weapon?”

"You only need a continuous rainstorm, which is enough to put production in an entire industrial area to a standstill."

"This is what is called a secondary deterrence, or, in other words, a companion deterrence."

"The moment when the war begins is the moment when productivity declines across the board. The benefits obtained from the war cannot make up for the disadvantages of the continuous decline in productivity."

"So any rational decision-maker will consider whether it is worth starting a war in the current situation."

"For example, this time, the failure on the food battlefield will cause the Chou Kingdom to lose hundreds of billions of swords, but if the war begins, they will lose hundreds of billions of swords."

"Choose one of them, and the conclusion will be obvious."

"Unless the current situation directly meets the conditions of ultimate deterrence, a hot war cannot be launched."

“That is, in the presence of multiple levels of secondary deterrence, no matter how close we are to war, it is impossible to fight.”

"Because in this case, either you don't fight, and as long as you fight, it will definitely be the end of humanity."

"---- Speaking of this, isn't the golden crow you are thinking about also a secondary deterrent? It's just that its deterrence level is higher than that of meteorological weapons."

After listening to Chen Hao's explanation, Ye Zhou repeatedly deduced it in his mind in silence, and finally raised his head.

"Okay... you're right, I restricted my horizon. In fact, this was originally a very simple logic--in this era, no two countries do not have any interest connections, and we have more interests with our opponents."

"In fact, this alone has already brought considerable obstacles to the hot war."

Chen Hao nodded with satisfaction and replied:

"Just think it through. It is right to have a sense of crisis, but if this sense of crisis is too much, it will be detrimental to you."

As he said that, Chen Hao stood up again, patted the dick behind his butt and said:

"Okay, bringing you here is not actually to let you see anything special. I just want you to see popularity and bask in the sun."

"But speaking of this, if I want to bask in the sun, I have a better place. Should I go and have a walk?"

Ye Zhou stood up with him and asked:

“Where to go?”

"Sea Blue!"

Chen Hao replied with a smile.

...

Four hours later, the two arrived at their destination on the trip.

Under the leadership of a researcher named Xu Lei, the two walked on the ridge of a test field of the Hailan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, feeling the evening breeze of the fragrance of soil and rice.

The green seedlings are dyed with a light red halo under the setting sun in the evening. Although the harvest of this crop of rice is not yet time to be harvested, at first glance, they also feel a sense of relaxed and pleasant satisfaction.

Perhaps this is the instinct rooted in genes?

Ye Zhou also stayed in the countryside when he was a child. He remembered that he seemed to have a sense of intimacy with crops, especially rice.

When grandparents went to the fields to harvest, they lay on the bed covered with straw on one side of the ridge, breathing in the strong smell of rice after being scorched by the sun, and slept until the stars were everywhere.

Yes, at that time, just like now, most of the work in the fields did not start until the weather gradually became colder in the afternoon.

In twenty years, many things have changed, but there are some things that still maintain their logic for thousands of years, giving people a sense of stability and stability.

"It's such a good place to bask in the sun... I feel the smell of the sea. Alas? Is this the sea breeze? The sea breeze is blowing during the day and the land breeze at night, right?"

Chen Hao, who was standing aside, sighed with a stretch. He turned his head and looked at Xu Lei on the side. The latter smiled slightly and replied:

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, our test field is surrounded by mountains, and it is impossible to blow the sea breeze during the day or at night."

"The small amount of wet salt in the sea breeze will bring uncertainty to seedling cultivation. We chose the location of the test field here to avoid this impact."

Hearing Xu Lei's words, Ye Zhou couldn't help laughing. He squatted down and said while observing the rice seedlings that had just been transplanted:

"The psychological sea breeze is also a sea breeze, it's enough to have that meaning... Is this the seedling after knr2 gene editing?"

"Yes, this small area is all, each square is a control group, and a total of 64 control groups."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly, curiously tugging the seedlings that had not started to grow heading, and continued with some uncertainty:

"The tillering of these seedlings...15,25,32...one seedling has 32 tillerings? Is it a little too much? What is the final effective ear-bearing rate?"

Xu Lei also squatted beside Ye Zhou. She was wearing loose trousers and her T-shirt was covered with dry mud spots. Her image seemed a bit sloppy at first glance, but when she focused on pushing a seedling to explain to Ye Zhou, she exuded a thrilling charm from her body.

Of course, this charm is not an attraction between men and women, but a more grand charm that transcends gender.

Ye Zhou took a look and moved his eyes away, looking at the position of her finger.

"When you look at this, the number of tillers in my hand is lower than the one you just looked at, but it has reached the level of 25."

"The general number of ears in our test field should be between 30 and 35%, which is about 35% higher than other unedited varieties."

"However, unlike traditional rules, the increase in the number of ears in this rice will not cause the decrease in the number of ears and grain weight, so theoretically, the more ears it will harvest."

"You just asked me if this rice is a rice edited by Knr2. In fact, it is not only the case. In addition to Knr2, we have found that the new editor can easily edit the ipa1-pro10 material."

"The function of this material is to increase the number of ears and average ear grains at the same time."

"From our current tillering situation, the target of ear count has been achieved. Next, we have to wait for the harvest to see the specific results."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou nodded deeply in admiration.

Xu Lei’s explanation is easy to understand. According to her, while keeping the grain weight unchanged, if the number of ears and ears can be increased by 35% at the same time, the yield of a single rice plant can theoretically be directly increased by 82%!

This is a terrifying number. If such an effect can be achieved, then for a long time in the future, the food problems around the world will completely disappear.

This almost doubles the increase…How long does it take for the population to double?

Of course, such output increases depend on many other factors, such as fertility, water sources, thermal conditions, etc., but even if we consider the worst case scenario, this type of new varieties should be able to increase production by more than 30%.

Not too much, but enough.

Ye Zhou stood up with emotion, his eyes crossed the rice field and looked at the red sun gradually falling in the distance.

He took his eyes back until his eyes stinged to tears.

When he looked at Chen Hao again, the originally gloomy expression on his face was swept away.

Yes, this is how this country and nation are in.

When the sky falls, you have to have a full meal first.

And as long as you can have enough food, there is no problem that cannot be solved--even when facing the strongest enemies, the power born from the grain is enough to tear them to pieces.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"So, how do we arrange our supper tonight?"

Chen Hao smiled slightly and replied:

"Simple, eat the whole rice feast!"
