The rise of nanometers

Regarding the Global Outer Space Conference in June this year, all forces are secretly communicating and discussing in secret.

What Chen Sheng said this time was actually a signal, and it was also intended to isolate the Noah Society and force it to give up its plan to deploy Starlink satellites on a large scale.

At the same time, the Outer Space Treaty of that year was revised and adjusted.

As for the idea of ​​the Noah Society, in fact, they have no other choice. The last time they acquiesced that their Mars spacecraft successfully launched, they were already very proud. If they don't know better, they will reduce the scale of the Starlink project.

It is also possible to consider starting a fight directly. After all, if he really puts his life at risk, Noah will have no other choice but to detonate the Yellowstone volcano.

Even if the Yellowstone volcano is detonated, earthquakes, magma, poisonous volcanic ash will destroy the surrounding area with a radius of about 1,000 kilometers in a short period of time, and all living things within this range will surely die.

But what really threatens the world is the volcanic ash ejected into the atmosphere. These volcanic ash will quickly circulate with the atmosphere and cover the entire blue star, causing the global average temperature to drop by 8 to 10 degrees Celsius and entering an ice age.

This ice age will last for 6 to 10 years.

According to the grain alliance's total grain reserves, under strict rationing management, it can only sustain domestic grain needs for 2 to 3 years.

But don’t panic, the Food Alliance has built large-area glass greenhouses in the northwest, north-central, and northeastern regions.

These glass greenhouses can be simply modified to use fluorescent lamps instead of sunlight to achieve photosynthesis of crops.

At present, 17.34 million acres of glass greenhouses of this type have been built. If an emergency plan is launched, this scale can be expanded to about 200 million acres in 2 to 3 years.

In addition, volcanic ash is not impossible to remove. Major domestic research institutions, including the Scientific Research Department of the Suiren Department, have research projects on the rapid fall of volcanic ash.

The simplest and crudest plan was proposed by a laboratory of Eagle Aerospace. It uses the huge transportation capacity of the Feipeng class to spray a large amount of water mist at the bottom of the stratosphere, and then shoot dry ice bombs up to let the precipitation bring down the volcanic ash.

Of course, this solution is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The idea of ​​major scientific research institutions is to find a new compound that can condense volcanic ash and fall over a large area.

In addition, the country will soon test practical controllable nuclear fusion technology. With controllable nuclear fusion technology, even if the Ice Age comes, we can survive with huge energy.

To some extent, the Noah Society does not have a trump card to die together.

In this situation where the strategy is gradually becoming unbalanced, it is natural to completely suppress the Noah Society and ensure that all actions of the other party are within control.

Just after the Astrolabe Company's press conference was completed.

Noah will indeed have a soft attitude.

The two sides held a secret video conference.

The negotiator of the Noah meeting this time is still the bald, white, middle-aged Nick, while in China it is Fang Kangding.

As soon as the two sides connected on the video, they went straight to the point. Nick spoke first: "Mr. Fang, we need to exercise restraint. There is only one Blue Star. Even if you can win, it will be a miserable victory in the end."

"Nick, outer space contains too many dangers that you cannot grasp."

Nick said seriously: "No one wants to give up on the future. If you want to develop, we must also develop. This is something we cannot give up. For this reason, we are determined to fight to the death."

"There's no need to threaten me. Your chances of dying are very small, but we don't want to mess up Blue Star." Fang Kangding replied calmly.

Regarding this answer, Nick breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this was a negotiation opportunity given by the other party. He readjusted his mood and said:

"We can abandon the garrison on Honshu and Hokkaido, and we will ensure that we do not use nuclear-bundled launch vehicles, and at the same time reduce the scale of the Starlink program."

Fang Kangding pondered for a moment: "Using the International Date Line in the North Pacific and the Pacific Equator as the approximate dividing line, it is best not to get too close to each other."

"I need to report back to the board."

"Can."

Both parties are offline.

Nick directly contacted the board of directors of the Noah Association. This result was actually within their expectations, but they needed some time to convince internally.

After all, the large number of bases on Guam and Honshu are too close to East Asia. Both sides currently have a large number of combat forces deployed between the first island chain and the second island chain.

Once a gun goes off, unpredictable things may happen.

If the International Date Line and the Pacific Equator are used as the dividing line between the two sides' spheres of influence, the vast Pacific Ocean retains a huge buffer space for both sides.

On the other hand, with the economic recession in North America, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain bases around the world.

On the third day, the two sides once again held a secret video conference.

This time, more important personnel from both sides participated in the video conference, but Nick and Fang Kangding still served as the mouthpieces of both parties.

Nick said seriously: "We can agree to this dividing line, but there is a premise. Neither side is allowed to deploy offensive weapons within the 2,000 kilometers of the dividing line."

"Okay." Fang Kangding continued: "In addition, all your biochemical laboratories around the world must be evacuated and ensure that all biochemical products in the laboratories are destroyed. Finally, no alien creatures must be used in any way. The name brings back the interior of Blue Star.”

"This..." A director of the Noah Society was a little angry.

Both sides started a heated debate on this point.

Among the restrictions, Noah is not allowed to establish a biochemical laboratory space station even in Blue Star's mid- and low-level orbits.

It’s just that they couldn’t stand up, so in the end they could only agree to this.

If they don't agree, their spaceship won't even be able to get out of the atmosphere. For the sake of the future and the opportunity to advance to interstellar civilization, Noah will have to agree to these conditions.

The main content of the negotiation was completed, and the two sides began to discuss the details one by one, including how to deal with the aftermath, how to hand over the base, and determine the specific dividing line and buffer area.

In the space field, the spacecraft that Noah will use to return to Blue Star from outer space must be supervised by the joint investigation team to ensure that dangerous alien creatures will not be brought back to Blue Star.

As for the moon, Mars and other extraterrestrial planets, both parties will deal with them in accordance with the rules of the Age of Discovery, on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the control range of extraterrestrial bases is limited to a radius of 150 kilometers.

That is to say, starting from the edge of the base and extending 150 kilometers outward, this is the actual control area.

There were also a series of miscellaneous terms, and after some negotiation, it was already April 21st.

This agreement, also known as the Blue Star Peace and Development Agreement, was kept confidential by both parties and has not been made public.

Not even the other major forces knew about this secret agreement.

It is obvious that there are only a few forces that have the potential to promote interstellar civilization. Noah is not a fool, so naturally he will not ask another competitor to come in and share the cake.

The Noah Society has planned to completely shrink its power, fully manage the Americas, and prepare for promotion to interstellar civilization.

Similarly, China is also making every effort to promote its aerospace strategy.

This strategic change of the two overlords has restored the superficial calm to the global situation. As for the secret intrigues, it is definitely inevitable.
