Although the current sudden change in climate may cause serious reductions in agricultural production, in fact, it will have no substantial impact on them like the Draco.
After all, no matter how difficult the situation is, Thomas and others can still have enough food and clothing.
If the Homo sapiens company did not exist, even if a sudden climate change occurred and the earth entered an ice age, the Draco people would not care about the life and death of ordinary consumables.
Now they are trying every means to stabilize prices and restore agricultural production capacity, but it is not because of their conscience.
But in order to ensure their own strength, they need these consumables to work for them.
Without these consumables, everything for them will fall apart. Let alone compete with the Homo sapiens company, even self-protection will be very difficult.
After all, how many people are there in the Tianlong group?
Perhaps many people think that artificial intelligence, automation technology, and robotics technology are very powerful now. Artificial intelligence and robots can be used to replace ordinary consumables, so that there is no need to worry about food supply.
Indeed, this idea is very good.
After weighing the pros and cons, they reluctantly scraped together 30 million tons of grain to stabilize the entire West Asia.
See clearly, there are 300 million highly qualified people with science and engineering degrees, not 300 million migrant workers or 300 million people with liberal arts degrees.
Obviously at this stage, artificial intelligence cannot be designed, maintained, or engaged in technology research and development by itself.
In fact, not only this canal, but also the two canals in Central America, the Ottoman Strait, and the Strait of Gibraltar are all at risk of turning into land.
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 30 million tons of grain to ensure that this area will not be bought by the Homo sapiens company."
Just think of the canals in Central America being disrupted.
That is, computers and robots also need humans to manufacture, design, and maintain them.
If America collapses, then the Morgan family, Rockefeller family, Mellon family and others will definitely not be able to live happily.
After some wrangling, they finally reached an agreement.
"Pause?" Mastervon thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I agree."
We can’t let artificial intelligence design, maintain and conduct technology research and development on its own, right?
"The gap in Latin America is not big. The Aztecs need about 20 million tons of grain. ABCD's grain in North America can be sold to them at a low price."
And the number of the Draco group is too small, and most of these guys are not science and engineering majors.
In addition, Lucia’s oil and gas pipelines are also planned to be expanded.
When money exceeds the limit of 100 million, it is actually just a number.
Without a way to reverse global cooling, the paralysis of these maritime transportation hubs is very likely to become a reality.
The other is to strengthen technological research and development cooperation in nuclear fusion power generation.
That's why these vampires are willing to bleed.
And the whole of America actually belongs to the Council of the City on the Hill.
Mastvon looked embarrassed: "But we don't have much strategic food reserves. The population of the fringe world is about 2.5 billion, and we need a lot of food!"
You said that automated production lines can be used directly to produce computers and robots? This can reduce the use of consumables.
With the development of modern industry, many industries require too many industrial technicians.
Everyone started discussing in whispers.
Everyone started arguing again.
Secret video conference.
After all, the local area is their basic base, and the importance of the peripheral world must be less than that of their local area.
When it comes to the West Asian region, Thomas raised another more difficult issue: "Everyone, I think the Mediterranean-Dead Sea-Red Sea canal project should be suspended."
Once the industrial chain collapses, they will have no power to fight against Homo sapiens companies.
"30 million tons?"
"Support the fringe world?" Caesar thought for a moment and wondered if he still had any objections.
Chip manufacturing equipment, chip manufacturing raw materials, chip design and manufacturing, computer supporting components, assembly, software design, post-maintenance, etc., the entire industry chain requires at least millions of practitioners.
Take the computer industry as an example.
Congratulations to human civilization. Your historical mission has been completed. You can prepare to receive lunch boxes. Now is the era of omnic civilization.
To maintain a modern industrial chain, at least 300 million highly qualified people with science and engineering degrees are needed.
Because there is no other way to stop now.
This is why Thomas and others are willing to cut their meat to ordinary consumables. For Thomas and others, there is actually no difference between tens of trillions of dollars and several trillions of dollars.
But many people ignore one issue.
The free world is now patchwork together, and the four major forces combined can barely maintain the operation of the entire industrial chain.
"The food gap in Africa is currently filled by cheap food from Homo sapiens companies. We can only obtain part of the market in the Abdelwad region and the Transvaal region."
If artificial intelligence can do this.
But what about design and maintenance? What about technology development?
If the money is gone, you can still make it again.
After all, 30 million tons of grain is not a small amount. In the past, the four major forces would have been able to produce this amount of grain.
This amount of people can't even fill a computer industry, let alone dozens of other large industries and thousands of subdivided industries.
Let them play conspiracy, financial games, eat, drink and have fun. Maybe they are experts and engage in industrial production and technology research and development. It will really make things difficult for them.
besides.
The total number of Celestial Dragons is only a few hundred thousand, and including the bastards, there are only a few million at most.
With ABCD's internal intelligence support, Thomas is quite clear about the current international food supply and demand situation:
The sea level is falling, and we 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, this canal will be directly abandoned.
None of the parties have much opinion on this proposal.
But if the population continues to decrease, the consequence will be the gradual collapse of the industrial chain.
Thomas seriously reminded: "Everyone, we cannot give up on those forces in the fringe world. If their manpower, market, and resources are obtained by Homo sapiens companies, then we will be even more passive."
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 respond to large-scale natural disasters that may occur in the future.
In preparation for joining forces to develop nuclear power plants, we first determined the fourth-generation nuclear fission reactor technology based on thorium-based molten salt as the current technical standard for new nuclear power plants.
If everyone in the Morgan family simply eats, drinks and has fun all day long, they won't spend hundreds of millions a year.
Louis Comte did not refuse immediately, but asked: "What is the approximate food gap in the marginal world?"
Now they have to be cautious, fearing that if the inventory is not enough for internal use, the problem will be serious.
In order to deal with this crisis, they can only find ways to add some land railway transportation lines and oil and gas pipeline projects in West Asia.
If possible, we should also find ways to support the fringe worlds in West Asia, South America and Africa.
Under the double squeeze of Homo sapiens companies and climate change, the major forces finally dared not compete anymore, but instead tried to find ways to solve these crises.
However, just as they were discussing how to solve the problem.
Another crisis is approaching silently.
