The rise of nanometers

Just as an extreme cold wave broke out in the La Plata region, Huang Xiuyuan secretly held a virtual meeting.

North America.

In eastern California, in an underground base deep in the Rocky Mountains.

Nick, who had just been transferred to the position of Director of the Homeland Defense Bureau, was also very busy at this time. The pressure from the Noah Society was too great, leaving them in a passive situation of strategic defense.

Although Nick has a big bald head, he is not a silent person, but a pure old white man.

Noah will be forced to have no choice but to finally break through the disguise he has been wearing and reveal his ferocious true face. There is nothing he can do about it.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The visitor was a middle-aged white man with black hair and a Chinese character on his face that was meticulous or rigid. Obviously, this person was most likely of German descent.

"Chief Nick, the source of the riots in Detroit has been identified. It is these people..."

After taking the file, Nick read it over and raised his eyebrows: "Black Panther remnants?"

"Yes, our detectives have identified 37 suspicious persons, 11 of whom can be confirmed, and the rest are still under investigation..."

Nick interrupted the other party: "No need to confirm, have you heard of the Chinese saying? It is better to kill by mistake than to let go, and clean up all these people."

"Yes, Sir Nick."

"Yes!" Nick nodded with satisfaction: "Off, continue to expand the screening scope and don't let go of any suspicious persons."

"Yes, Sir Nick." Off straightened his body and replied.

However, the two of them did not realize that there was a Shunfeng Ear sonar detector hidden in the ground less than 1.3 kilometers away from the underground base, which was continuously collecting intelligence in the base.

Although there may not necessarily be underground rivers around the underground base, if there are no underground rivers, underground micro-tunnels can also be created artificially.

This is the improved technology of the second-generation underground sonar detector. It uses chemicals that can corrode rock formations in the Wuding Plan to corrode the rock formations bit by bit, and then approach the underground base.

The inner diameter of the micro-tunnel is only 12 centimeters, and the design of the micro-detector also adopts a unique multi-legged worm-shaped design.

Although many underground facilities will install underground vibration sensors, underground vibration sensors are not omnipotent. It is often difficult to identify problems with small vibrations and sound waves.

There is no vibration or sound when chemically corroding rock formations. At most, there will be a slight sound when the residue is sucked away.

But this sound is difficult to distinguish under the background sound waves of the underground environment.

Noah would think it was an underground base with iron walls, but in fact, it was ventilated from all sides.

Part of the underground base has been approached by the intelligence department's micro-detectors, and the micro-detectors are even directly attached to the underground waterproof layer of the base.

These micro-detectors also brought a lot of intelligence information to the Intelligence Department. Although Noah would conduct two major internal cleanings due to multiple intelligence leaks.

But Nick obviously did not realize that the real leaker was not an insider, nor an instrument on the ground, nor an outsider, but a sonar detector from an underground river.

This fatal intelligence failure was enough to cause many of their affairs to become almost unilaterally transparent in front of the Intelligence Department.

For example, the conversation between Nick and the two of them was basically collected by the Shunfeng Er system.

After Off left, Nick's office fell silent again.

But soon this calm was broken again.

After a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

A white-haired girl wearing glasses walked in: "Sir Nick, the latest news from La Plata is that there is a large area of ​​cold wave damage in the subtropical area in the north."

Nick asked with a surprised expression: "Ms. Thea, is there anything worthy of attention in this news?"

"Sir! I think you need to take a look at this document." Thea handed over a document in her hand.

Nick glanced at the title of the document.

"Blue Star Climate Prediction Report 2015~2050..."

climate?

He looked at it for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Ms. Thea, the meteorological department said that global cooling may occur in the future?"

"Yes, this is the result of supercomputer simulation based on historical climate data and various current influencing factors. The cold wave in the La Plata Plain may be a precursor to this little glacier climate."

Nick continued to browse carefully. Ten minutes later, he asked again cautiously: "The accuracy rate is only 40 to 50%. The uncertainty is too great. Even if it is true, what can we do to stop it?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the phone and called the three persons in charge of strategic intelligence analysis to come to the office.

After a while, a fat middle-aged man, an old Mediterranean man, and a man in glasses with a fake smile appeared in the office.

"Everyone, take a look at this information. I need your wisdom."

The three of them took turns to read the document, and then fell into deep thought. Twenty minutes later, the old Mediterranean man who was the first to read the document narrowed his eyes and said:

"Sir, there are only three situations now, global cooling, global warming, and global constant temperature. This needs to be observed for a period of time, at least about five years, before we can be more certain."

"I do agree with global cooling," the big fat man said.

Nick asked, "Why?"

"I have been researching the intelligence of China recently and found some very interesting things." The big fat man continued:

"Their carbon dioxide emissions are about 30 to 40% lower than the data predicted by the Copenhagen Climate Conference, but their power generation and industrial and agricultural output have no downward trend."

The old Mediterranean man said thoughtfully: "This situation should be due to their extensive use of new energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, and tidal energy, plus the increase in thermal efficiency of thermal power generation."

"No, in fact, they also established a universal energy storage system by extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere." The big fat man told another situation.

Nick reacted at this time: "Are you saying that China's large-scale extraction of carbon dioxide will reduce global greenhouse gases and cause global cooling?"

The big fat man shook his head: "This is just a small factor. If global cooling is really happening, I think the main reason should be the cyclic climate change of Blue Star. Extracting carbon dioxide may accelerate the process of global cooling."

"We can't stop this." The man with glasses said at this time:

"Victor proposed a five-year observation period. I agree with this plan. The top priority now is not to ignore any sudden changes in climate."

The fat man frowned: "If it's true..."

The man with glasses interrupted him: "It's true, so what? Even if the production in the agricultural areas we control is reduced on a large scale, we can still maintain the food needs of a population of 300 to 500 million. As for whether other areas are alive or dead, it's none of our business. What's up?"

"Yeah! Adams is right." The old Mediterranean man nodded.

Adams, the man with glasses, continued: "Our current job is to enter outer space as soon as possible. If we cannot form a new strategic balance with Greater China, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Hearing this, Nick fell silent.

As Adams said, no matter global cooling and reduced food production, they will not starve to death.

But if they cannot keep up with the pace of Greater China's space development, their fate will be other than surrender, and they will have no choice but to self-destruct on the spot.
