Super-divine civilization begins with the civilian use of dark energy technology
Chapter 230 Chapter 277 8 Global Food Crisis
The middle-aged man frowned and analyzed: "According to the current information, Pangu Xinhuo's martial arts gyms have opened in all major cities and have branches in each major city."
"These branch libraries all have gravity chambers, and if done properly, we can dismantle the gravity chambers."
"It's easy to dismantle, but it's more troublesome to transport it out."
Pangu Xinhuo Martial Arts Schools are located in all major cities. There are more than a dozen in each major city, and there are three in the county. With such a high popularity rate, they have more opportunities to take advantage of loopholes.
As long as they investigate the layout clearly and use equipment, they can secretly clear the concrete above the gravity chamber and directly attack the equipment in the gravity chamber.
But for such an important device, Pangu Xinhuo must have anti-mobile devices.
Just like their lithography machine, as long as it moves, they can receive news. They even know how many chips the lithography machine has produced.
If Pangu Xinhuo is smart enough, it will definitely have functions such as anti-movement and anti-disassembly.
There are countless ways to dismantle them to hide them from others, but after they are dismantled and an alarm is triggered, how are they supposed to transport them out?
The old man looked solemn and didn't have any good ideas. Now is not the past. Now Pangu Xinhuo throws something and calls the police, it will definitely shock the whole country.
What will greet them is to be chased and intercepted. With the strength of that country, as long as they are serious, they will definitely not be able to transport such large equipment.
The middle-aged man looked at the silent old man and said, "Let me solve this!"
"Huh? What can you do?" The old man looked at the middle-aged white man in confusion.
"I will take a multi-pronged approach, visit several major cities in that country, and then choose a border city to solve it by force."
The old man looked troubled: "This... is not good!"
"And it would be bad to cause a war."
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled up slightly: "No, the person who took action was not one of ours, nor was it a formal organization."
When the old man heard this, he raised his hands and said, "I don't care about this matter. I don't want to know the details."
Using force against that country would be very troublesome even if it wasn't one of their people. It might just be a hornet's nest, so he'd better leave it alone.
"That's what I mean too." The middle-aged man nodded and said.
The old man changed the subject and said, "Even if we get artificial gravity equipment, we won't be able to build it in a short time."
Just like the Baineng graphene battery, they have had the battery for some time and have roughly guessed the structure of the Baineng graphene battery. However, although they know the structure, they have not yet made the corresponding equipment.
Nano-level control is not that simple, and this nano-level control is more complicated than a chip. The chip controls nano-level light, while the Baineng graphene battery operates nano-level physical objects, which are still a little more difficult than light.
"This is the problem of the Scientific Research Department. We don't need to consider this. We just need to transport the instruments." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"By the way, what do you think about the food consumption caused by super green grapes?" the old man asked.
"Well, you want to do something." The middle-aged man also became interested.
"Yes, now Nongxing Company has reduced its grain exports. On the surface it is giving up competition in export trade, but in fact it is concentrating on supplying domestic products."
"Then what do you want to do?" the middle-aged man asked.
"We have also reduced grain exports and raised international grain prices. This is not to make money, but to put pressure on Nongxing Company."
"As long as the price of food rises, those who are short of food will look for cheap food everywhere. If we can't satisfy it here, they will turn to Nongxing Company."
"As long as we spread some rumors, the pressure on that country will double, and the pressure on Nongxing will double."
"Nongxing Company has always had a good international reputation. If we do this, Nongxing Company will be in a dilemma. Whether to maintain its international reputation or maintain domestic supply is a difficult choice."
Although their business war was fierce before and world food prices plummeted, it was a business war that they were engaged in to reduce domestic supply.
The main targets of the commercial war are still soybeans, wheat, white rice, potatoes and other staple foods. How can other fruit-based agricultural products also be subject to commercial war?
Reducing the supply of domestic staple food has not caused problems in the country. There are too many substitutes for staple food in the country, and all kinds of junk food are emerging in endlessly. The reduction of staple food will not make people hungry.
The truth is this, drought will kill you and flood will kill you.
And even if the business war has benefited many countries, there are still some countries that want to buy but have no money to buy.
Nongxing Corporation and the consortium are not philanthropists. They will not give you food if you don’t have money. There is really no one in charge of this part of the country.
In fact, even if that country's food production increases tenfold, the world as a whole is still in a state of food shortage, just not that much.
Now that the Nongxing Company is reducing exports, their consortium is also cutting exports of staple grains, and the world's food shortage problem will once again become prominent.
The world as a whole is short of food, and some parts of the world are severely short of food. This is a global problem that cannot be easily solved.
Unless Nongxing Company is willing to sell Xingnong fertilizer to the whole world, the world will still be short of food as a whole.
Food security has received widespread attention from the international community for a long time.
In 1996, the International Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) sounded the alarm to the world at the first World Food Summit and raised the issue of "food security" for the first time.
In April 1983, the Food Security Committee of FAO adopted the concept of "food security", which was widely endorsed and supported by FAO, World Food Council, Economic and Social Council and other international organizations and the international community.
However, whether measured by the reduction of targets hoped for by international organizations or the results gained from implementation, the global food security crisis is still not over, and some indicators are even deteriorating.First, food supply is in tight balance.According to FAO data, global grain reserves were only 2008 million tons in 4.05, falling to the lowest level since 1980, which was only enough to feed people around the world for 8 to 12 weeks.
Based on the analysis of the situation in 2009, the report of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Free State believes that the world's cereal production can reach 2009 billion tons in 22.16, and when the demand may reach 21.76 billion tons, the supply exceeds the demand by only 4000 million tons.
Second, food prices remain at high levels.
With the help of increased demand and rising prices of bulk resources, food prices in the international market have been soaring.Although the outbreak of the financial crisis caused food prices to "die", they are still at historically high levels.
据OECD和FAO联合发布的《2009-2018农业展望》报告,粮价总体水平远高于10年平均水平,一些粮食的价格比1998年—2008年的水平高出了一倍。
Third, the number of hungry people continues to increase.According to the latest international data, the number of people suffering from hunger every day in the world will reach 2009 billion in 10.2, reversing the trend of continuous reduction in the number of hungry people in the past 40 years, and this number will continue to increase.
This is a summary report from 09. By 25, the food problem had become even more serious.
Food production is affected by many factors.
The first is the demographic factor:
Among the various factors affecting food security, demographic factors should be the most direct and important factor.But we need to point out that this impact is not only reflected in the pressure on food supply caused by the increase in population, but also in many aspects such as production factors and structural changes.
First, the demand for food is expanding.The United Nations Population Fund predicts based on the population index of 150 countries around the world that it is expected to increase to 2025 billion by 91, and food demand will increase by 50%.
Secondly, the deterioration of production factors such as land.
Finally, serious inequality in food distribution and consumption, and the upgrading of the consumption structure have intensified the pressure on food supply.
The second factor is climate ecology:
Food production and climate ecology maintain a high degree of causality. Especially when the ecological environment encounters a certain degree of damage and extreme weather occurs repeatedly, climate variability has become a key factor that directly affects food security.In this regard, a research report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization pointed out that agricultural production in the next 20 to 50 years will be severely impacted by climate change, which will seriously affect global long-term food security.
The third factor is financial factors
Whether it is agricultural issues or non-agricultural issues, many countries in the world, especially developed countries, have a very obvious tendency of self-protectionism, and this kind of protection has become more and more popular with the outbreak of the financial crisis. The food problem has also arisen from these beggar-thy-neighbor and The ecology of "zero-sum" game is cast in the shadow of extreme uneasiness.
First of all, many developed countries have their own agricultural subsidies.Developed countries provide up to US$3000 billion in subsidies to their farmers every year, distorting the conditions for trade in agricultural products and directly harming food production in developing countries.
The second is trade restrictions.In order to ensure their own food supply, many countries have introduced measures to restrict food exports.
Then there's bioprocessing.In order to reduce the pressure on their own economies caused by rising oil and other energy prices, many countries have embarked on the path of alternative bio-clean energy, that is, fermenting part of agricultural products into alcohol supply vehicles.Even in the current tram era, batteries have never been cheap, and the laying of charging piles is also a very large investment. Many countries do not even have a complete power grid, let alone charging piles, so for many countries, fuel is still the mainstream. , when oil is expensive, some large agricultural countries use alcohol to replace part of the fuel.
Finally, there is overseas farming.In order to avoid market concerns caused by high import costs and grain export restrictions, many wealthy countries have aggressively purchased farmland overseas to grow grain. To put it simply, they buy farmland in countries with good growing conditions, and then grow the grain and send it back to their countries.
Of course, now that the problem has been investigated, it’s not like no one has come up with a solution.
First, increase capital investment in global farmland.Data show that some of the world's major grain-producing countries still have great potential to increase production. For example, Blackland, known as the "granary", has basically stagnated in grain yields per unit area due to the war. The grain yields in Bear Country, which has a large amount of arable land, are even lower. There are still more than 4 million hectares of arable land in the West that have not yet been developed.
Create a fair and reasonable international agricultural trade order
Second, create a fair and reasonable international agricultural trade order.The "hip-hop" negotiations surrounding agricultural issues must end as soon as possible, and both developed and developing countries should make relative concessions on the basis of coordinating the interests of all parties.
The main ones are: the Keynesian Group should significantly reduce export subsidies for agricultural products, agricultural self-sufficiency groups represented by developed countries must significantly reduce tariffs and quota restrictions, and the G[-] should also lower the threshold for market access as much as possible and create International mechanism for coordination and linkage.
Third, create an international mechanism for coordination and linkage.
(1) The United Nations can establish a global food bank to perform the functions of the "World Food Bank" and formulate "special food lending rights" to help the least developed countries cope with the food crisis. At the same time, the "World Food Bank" can provide loans to the least developed countries on preferential terms. Countries experiencing short-term food shortages borrow grain.
(2) The World Trade Organization can obtain the authority to revoke restrictive regulations on grain trade in relevant countries. Even if some countries need to establish new restrictive regulations, they must notify the World Trade Organization in advance for consultation.
(3) The OECD is responsible for formulating global biofuel guidelines and safeguards, reviewing and assessing the long-term impacts of the development of biomass energy in relevant countries, and specifying corresponding policies to guide it.
(4) The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are responsible for evaluating the fiscal policies of relevant countries in response to the food security crisis, strengthening the analysis and supervision of grain products and futures in the international market, and establishing error correction mechanisms and severe punishment rules for grain speculation.
These plans are all good plans, but the four major grain merchants controlled by the consortium will not agree at all.
The consortium only cares about the citizens of its own country and not the people of other countries. In fact, he doesn't care much about the people of his own country.
During the business war with Nongxing Company, the food supply of the people of this country was also reduced. However, there are many food substitutes in the country, and all kinds of junk food emerge in an endless stream. The staple food is expensive, so just eat more fried chicken.
The reduction of staple food will not make people hungry, so when they engage in business wars, the country is very stable.
The previous trade war gave other countries the illusion that there was no shortage of staple food.
However, the consortium's business war has not solved the fundamental problem of food shortage at all. It has only reduced the supply of staple grains in wealthy areas.
Now as the Nongxing Company and their consortium reduce the export of staple grains, the food problem will be exposed again, and many areas will return to a state of food shortage.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Haha, Nongxing Company is very busy."
"To borrow an old saying, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Those who are short of food are used to low-priced food, and now they have to buy food at the original price... No, the price of food will only be higher."
"Higher-priced grains, if not handled properly, will cause many problems!"
"For example, in the manufacturing industry, people are willing to work in factories only if the salary is enough to support themselves."
"Now that workers are working hard and their wages are not going up, suddenly they can no longer afford food."
"Who can stand it?"
"When there is a problem in the manufacturing industry, there is also a problem in the economy, and the budget for purchasing food is also reduced. It is a vicious circle!" (End of Chapter)
"These branch libraries all have gravity chambers, and if done properly, we can dismantle the gravity chambers."
"It's easy to dismantle, but it's more troublesome to transport it out."
Pangu Xinhuo Martial Arts Schools are located in all major cities. There are more than a dozen in each major city, and there are three in the county. With such a high popularity rate, they have more opportunities to take advantage of loopholes.
As long as they investigate the layout clearly and use equipment, they can secretly clear the concrete above the gravity chamber and directly attack the equipment in the gravity chamber.
But for such an important device, Pangu Xinhuo must have anti-mobile devices.
Just like their lithography machine, as long as it moves, they can receive news. They even know how many chips the lithography machine has produced.
