Master of Thermodynamics

Renault looked at the holographic image below the stage and talked eloquently.

"There is no doubt that the war that the Federation is about to face must be a full-scale war. The Void Demons will definitely attack humanity by unscrupulous means. They will never let go of any weakness that can be exploited, and the food issue is precisely one of them!"

"As early as 8 years ago, the Demon Race had actually tried similar methods. Everyone here should remember the'black inflammation' that swept the human world? If we hadn't cut off the Demon Race's black hand in time, I'm afraid Countless people will die from this super famine."

"It is completely predictable that once the war is officially launched, the demons will directly attack the main grain-producing areas of the Federation, including the two soybean and rice-producing areas in the Thousand Lakes Republic, the black potato-producing area and the wheat-producing area in the Xinghai Continent. Destroy agriculture in the human world completely."

This terrible scene depicted by Renault has changed the expressions of many people.

"Although the Federation has established a large-scale grain warehouse and has stored enough food for all mankind to eat for three years, we must consider that if the war falls into a protracted war, it will last for more than 3 years, even 5 or 10 years, How should the Federation respond?"

A voice suddenly rang:

"There are endless fishery resources in the ocean. Perhaps vigorously developing fisheries is a way out...Farmland is relatively fixed and has a large area. It is indeed easy to be attacked, but fishing boats can sail freely on the sea, and the demons are not so easy to find them... …"

This plan drew opposition immediately.

"I am opposed to it. Fishing alone is needed to meet the needs of tens of millions of civilians. At least tens of thousands of magic fishing boats are needed... If you are a demons, would you watch so many boats running around on the sea without being indifferent? They will definitely dispatch flying warships to hunt fishing boats on the sea!"

"I don't agree. Although the fishing boat can be moved, the dock can't run. As long as the Demon Race keeps an eye on the dock, it will not be too difficult to find the fishing boat..."

"That's right, the fishery can only supply part of the rations at most, and it is a bit unrealistic to supply 30 million people..."

At this time, Alex, a member of the Academy of Sciences, the director of the Institute of Agriculture, proposed a plan:

"Under the supreme crown, three years ago, the Agricultural Research Institute cooperated with the gray dolphin to develop a new type of algae crop, which can be planted in shallow sea areas within 100 meters. After entering the mature period, it will grow wheat ears like wheat. , So we named it'sea wheat algae'."

Hearing these words, Renault sat up slightly, showing an expression of interest.

"'Seaweed' has a wide range of adaptability. Whether it is in the tropics where the temperature is above 30 degrees, or the cold zone where the water temperature does not exceed 10 degrees, it can grow, but the growth rate is different."

"The yield of this new crop is very high. The Agricultural Research Institute has done relevant experiments near the ocean tides. About 55 plants can be planted per mu of sea area. The growth cycle is 5 months, and the yield per mu is as high as 3.6 tons."

"Its only drawback is that the taste is not very good, and it is rougher than soybeans, rice, rice and wheat... However, we are still trying to train new varieties to improve this problem. The Agricultural Research Institute should be able to cultivate export feelings for up to 3 years. Better'sea wheat algae'..."

Renault patted his palm lightly and smiled:

"Alex,'Seaweed' is my ideal crop. I have to say that your Agricultural Research Institute has solved the federal problem... Only it can grow this in sea water, and it can make the Void Demon The family is helpless."

"The Demon Race is not an aquatic race. The power of the water element in the ocean also has a certain restraining effect on the Demon Race. Their advantage in the ocean is far inferior to the sky and the ground... We have the help of the Gray Dolphin family and are fully capable. Fight against the demons in the water."

Federal Chancellor Angela nodded in agreement:

"The Federation can also arrange the'Sea King's Halberd' or the more powerful'Sea God's Trident' near the ocean farm where the'sea wheat algae' is planted, which is sufficient to ensure the safety of the ocean farm...If the demons dare to attack the ocean farm ,'Sea King's Halberd' will definitely cause them heavy losses!"

"As for the taste, in fact, this is not a big problem...During the war, if the food reserves are exhausted, as long as one bite of food can fill the stomach, who cares about the taste problem?"

The last sentence made many people laugh.

Alex opened his eyes and smiled, successfully solving a problem concerning the life and death of all mankind, and obtaining the affirmation of the Federal President and the Prime Minister. It is a great honor for him and the entire Agricultural Research Institute.

Renault made the decision:

"I order the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, the Joint Agricultural Research Institute, and the various republics to immediately formulate a promotion plan for the'sea wheat algae'... I require that within two years, the annual output of the'sea wheat algae' must meet the federal 50% Food needs!"

"Yes! The Supreme Crown!"

Several voices responded at the same time.

...

"Do you have any other opinions about the'National Armed Plan'?"

"I object to this plan to distribute the magic air gun to every family in the Federation, which may lead to a large number of vicious crimes... After all, the magic air gun is extremely powerful and the operation is so convenient, even if it is 7 or 8 years old. Children, after simple training, can use it proficiently..."

"I support this plan. At the moment when the Void Demon is about to fully invade, the crime problem is only a secondary issue. It is even more important to allow civilians to have the means to protect themselves... In case a certain gathering point is attacked and the army cannot be timely For rescue, at least civilians can rely on air guns to protect their families..."

"The laws of the Human Federation do not prohibit civilians from owning cold weapons. As far as I know, many civilian families have strong crossbows, but criminal behaviors are pitiful... Strong crossbows are weapons, and air guns are also weapons. The registration and management system of firearms and strictly enforce it. I don’t think that the “National Armed Program” will lead to a significant increase in the crime rate..."

Officials and military officers who supported this plan gradually gained the upper hand, and the topic turned in another direction.

"There are currently more than 6 million households in the human world. Based on the calculation of 1 magic air gun per household, and considering 50% of the spare firearms, to implement this plan, at least 10 million pieces and 10 billion bullets are needed... I want to know Can our production capacity meet such a huge requirement?"

Several high-level magicians from the Academy of Sciences gave the answer after discussing in a low voice:

"The structure of the magic air gun is not complicated. The Weapon Research Institute has designed several low-cost air guns with no more than 25 parts... The production of parts can be fully automated, and the automation level of assembly assembly is about 80%. %, only a few steps require manual assembly, and the production efficiency is very high."

"In up to 30 days, the Academy of Sciences can design and manufacture a complete air gun production line with an hourly output of no less than 300 pieces. If it operates 24 hours a day, the monthly output exceeds 220,000 pieces... As long as there are 10 production lines, monthly It is very easy to produce more than 2.2 million air guns, and 10 million air guns can be collected within 5 months."

"As for 10 billion bullets, this is too easy. As long as there is sufficient steel supply for any small-scale bullet production line, there is no difficulty in producing 30 million bullets per day. A production line with a higher production capacity can even reach 300 million bullets per day. ..."

The military followed up and gave his opinion:

"In order to prevent the devastation, the army has a small company stationed at every gathering point in the Federation. They can be responsible for teaching local civilians how to use magic firearms..."

In the end, Renault made a ruling:

"Then, the'National Armed Plan' is set. The Prime Minister's Office is responsible for formulating implementation plans and firearms management plans. The government departments of the various republics assist the military in organizing local civilians and receiving relevant military training!"

"Yes, the supreme crown!"

A group of people answered solemnly.

"The next topic is the Refuge Project. The destructive power of this battlefield with the Void Demon must be amazing... Therefore, every human gathering place must build an underground shelter..."

As time went on, issues were quickly discussed, and tasks were assigned to various departments of the Federation.

Although the efficiency of the meeting was extremely high, because there were so many things to discuss, the meeting lasted from 8 o'clock in the morning "sea tide time" until 7 o'clock in the evening.

The reason for saying "come over", not the end, is because there is still "second half" in the meeting.

Renault said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, thank you for your participation. The matters discussed next are confidential information. Please leave the relevant personnel of the Prime Minister's Office, the Academy of Sciences, and the military. Please leave the rest of the staff!"

Most of the light and shadow in the venue disappeared instantly, leaving only more than 100 people.
