Chapter 39: Advances in Agriculture
Chapter 39 Progress in Agriculture
"You want me to hibernate?" Taylor asked in disbelief.
"That's right." Sai said: "Since the birth of the Wall-Facing Plan, there has been opposition from the international community, and this voice is not small."
"Moreover, different countries, out of their own interests, mostly support some of the Wall Facers and oppose others. The United States also has enemies, and there is always a party that wants to get rid of you."
"In addition, the emergence of the Wall Breakers has increased the strength of the opposition to the Wall-Facing Plan, and is in a stalemate with the supporting forces. If you make a request for hibernation at this time, you will undoubtedly provide a compromise acceptable to both parties."
"Indeed." Taylor took a deep breath and asked, "What about my family? What if you attack them while I'm hibernating?"
"Your original plan was to commit suicide. Was your family considered in this plan?"
"Your suicide undoubtedly proves that the Wallbreaker is right. As a relative of a Wallfacer whose Wall was broken, will they live a good life?"
"Hibernation can at least preserve the authority of the Wall-Facing Project and let the public believe that you have not actually been breached. Wouldn't this be better for your family?"
"Besides, the PDC is not that boring. We have no grievances with your family, so why should we attack them for no reason? As for what we just did, it was just a negotiation."
"You must know that the purpose of the fourth agricultural revolution is to replace traditional agriculture. Their ultimate goal is to completely replace traditional agriculture, and its cost must be lower than traditional agriculture."
"Does this one-tenth of the population refer to Africans or Europeans? The same people in these two places don't have the same amount of food to eat," Say asked.
"That's a good thing, but we need to make this plan gradually profitable, with the main purpose of reducing costs and improving efficiency, and don't let these farms continue to rely on subsidies from the nine major council members."
It seems that the defense version of humans will still do things honestly as long as they are persuaded. They are not as playful and fun-loving as the original humans.
"At the same time, with the completion of the first three-dimensional farm two years ago, the fourth agricultural revolution plan began to provide food to the outside world. It is estimated that within five years, one-tenth of the world's population will be fed by your plan.
.”
"Then how long will I have to hibernate?"
Thinking of this, Say called Kanter in and prepared to start dealing with the work of the fourth agricultural revolution.
So this guy must be dealt with. His ability to cause trouble is really strong. If Taylor is not allowed to hibernate, then the Wall Plan will be defeated.
Watching the news on the TV, Sai smiled happily. By forcing Taylor to hibernate, he took the opportunity to allocate a large amount of resources.
"After all, you just want to prove that you have been breached. Now that the nine members of the PDC have come to stop you from committing suicide, doesn't this mean that we also believe that you have been breached?" Sai continued to persuade.
"Chairman Say, we have achieved a lot in the past four years. Let me first tell you about your plan for the fourth agricultural revolution."
"Of course they are Africans." Kanter smiled: "All three-dimensional farms involved in your plan are currently state-owned enterprises, and the food they produce is uniformly distributed by the PDC and distributed to backward countries as relief food."
"Okay, I'm willing to hibernate until the end of the world." Finally, under Say's multiple attacks, Taylor gave in and hung up the phone after agreeing.
"Understood, I will go to the person in charge of this project to express your intention." Kant nodded.
….
"Recently, Wallfacer Taylor announced that he has applied to the PDC for temporary hibernation due to technical limitations, and will not wake up until breakthroughs in human science and technology."
Of course, this must be very cruel to Taylor. When he wakes up, he has to face a strange world where no one he knows is gone.
"According to the PDC's 115th Wallfacer Hearing Conference, the PDC plans to appoint another Wallfacer, but the authoritative media suspects that this person is only used to cover up Taylor's breach of the Wallfacer."
However, Say has no sympathy for the defense version of Taylor, because the defense version of Taylor is a waste. For example, the Luo Ji of this world is not the same as the original Luo Ji except for his name and gender.
Because a lot of the work in the early stage is theoretical, coupled with the distrust of the nine major council members, it is impossible to invest fully from the beginning, and the subsequent construction efficiency will only be higher than the previous one.
"Going to hibernate just after the wall was broken? Was it Taylor's plan, or was it the wall breaker who made Taylor desperate?"
Kanter said as he took out a tablet computer and said: "There are too many to go into details. In the past four years, we have built a total of 70 large-scale genetically modified test fields, 105 closed ecosystem test bases and 340 three-dimensional farms."
Therefore, there is a high probability that Taylor will hibernate until the Deterrence Era, but it is difficult to say that when human beings' self-confidence reaches its peak in the future, Taylor will be thawed in advance.
After dealing with Taylor's mess and getting his resources, Sai finally had the energy to continue the farming business he had promoted before hibernation.
But it didn't matter at that time. Several centuries have passed, and the wall-facing plan is probably gone.
"This time is uncertain, but according to the wishes of the nine major members of the PDC, it is best for you to hibernate until the end of the war."
"This progress is faster than I thought. If the construction efficiency can be doubled, the fourth agricultural revolution can be completed within half a century." Sai said with emotion.
Although the news talks about short-term hibernation, according to the agreement between Sai and the Americans, Taylor must freeze for at least a few centuries until humans are able to defeat the Trisolarans or prepare for a large-scale escape.
"Yes, it's mainly because human power has become more concentrated in recent years. In addition, the environmental pollution and desertification caused by heavy industry have also made the international community, especially the private sector, interested in your plan."
"After all, in some developing countries, the food crisis has become increasingly serious. Such incidents have had a great impact on the international order. Your plan can theoretically alleviate this problem."
"By the way, Chairman Say, the PDC hopes that you will inspect these three projects, namely the three-dimensional farm, the ecological recycling base and the genetically modified experimental field, to see if it is as you expected the blueprint to be." Kanter added.
After all, the person who proposed the agricultural revolution plan and formulated it in detail was Say herself, and the nine members of the PDC wanted her to accept the plan.
As for her plan before hibernating, it was still on paper, and there were no buildings or equipment that could be inspected, so she was going to hibernate.
"Okay, then I will go to inspect the three-dimensional farm, ecological cycle circle and genetically modified test field on Verne Island first when I have time."
