94: Chapter 94 Weather Beacon
"Respected host, actually, you don't need to redeem other technologies; you already possess the ability to transform the desert," the system's mechanical voice rang out.
"I already have the technology to transform the desert?" Su Fan thought for a moment, then suddenly had an epiphany.
The desert issue, when it comes down to it, only has two major problems.
The first is the water source issue, and the second is the soil issue.
It is a recognized fact that desert regions lack water, but the rainfall in the Taklamakan Desert is actually passable; it's just that because of the soil problem, the rain that falls simply cannot be retained.
Therefore, to control the desert, one must first treat the soil.
When Su Fan was previously formulating the Mars transformation plan, he prepared a special type of moss—Strongly Corrosive Moss.
This type of moss can survive as long as there is water.
It can rapidly corrode rocks and sand, making the soil suitable for sowing.
The seeds of the Strongly Corrosive Moss have already been materialized at the mysterious lunar base, and after this period of time, many have been replicated through genetic technology and are available for use at any time.
With the soil problem solved, the water problem also needs to be addressed.
The sources of water come either from underground, the surface, or the sky.
Water from underground is groundwater, water from the surface is seawater, river water, etc., and water from the sky is rainwater.
The Taklamakan Desert is so huge that relying on groundwater for irrigation is like drinking poison to quench thirst.
If one were to rely on digging canals to divert water from other large rivers, it would actually be a drop in the bucket, because Su Fan's goal is to turn the entire Taklamakan Desert green.
"System, the technology I currently possess can indeed manage to dig canals to divert water, but the efficiency is too low. Recommend one with high efficiency," Su Fan thought for a moment and said.
"Screening complete. Recommending black technology: Weather Beacon. Value: 120,000 influence points," the system said indifferently.
Su Fan hurriedly checked the technology.
The Weather Beacon is a type of small machine that hovers in mid-air.
Each Weather Beacon can attract water vapor from over a hundred kilometers around to gather into clouds.
Once the clouds gathered around the Weather Beacon reach a certain scale and mass, the Weather Beacon can automatically detect it and emit regular vibrations.
The clouds will turn into rain and fall to the ground.
Each Weather Beacon can affect a range of two hundred kilometers, and every ten Weather Beacons can form a Weather Beacon chain, which possesses water transmission control capabilities.
Every one hundred Weather Beacons can form a Weather Beacon network, possessing even more powerful water distribution control capabilities.
The water transmission function is easy to understand. If you place a Weather Beacon above the Indian Ocean, and then place one every 100 kilometers, extending all the way to the Taklamakan Desert...
That Weather Beacon in the Indian Ocean will rapidly gather water vapor from a 200-kilometer radius, and then the water vapor will be quickly snatched away by the second Weather Beacon.
Just like that, the third, the fourth...
It is as if there is an invisible hand controlling this water vapor, letting it follow the Weather Beacon chain formed by the Weather Beacons, and then run to the Taklamakan Desert.
Simply put, the Weather Beacon chain is like a large aerial canal, transporting the water vapor from the Indian Ocean into the Taklamakan Desert, and the operation speed is very fast, and the operational volume is also huge!
As for the principle of the water distribution control function of the Weather Beacon network, it is also very simple.
The Taklamakan Desert is about 1,100 kilometers long from east to west, about 410 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of about 330,000 square kilometers.
With such a large area, placing a Weather Beacon every 100 kilometers, 100 Weather Beacons can completely cover the Taklamakan Desert, which forms a Weather Beacon network.
When the water vapor from the Indian Ocean is transmitted to the Weather Beacon network of the Taklamakan Desert, by connecting the Weather Beacons via artificial intelligence, one can control the distribution of the water vapor.
Where it is dry, it rains; where there is too much water, the rain stops.
Su Fan extracted the technology of the Weather Beacon into his mind; the more he understood, the brighter his eyes shone.
One must know that although the people of Xia Nation now live a life without worries about food and clothing, and are no longer affected by earthquakes and tsunamis due to the Continental Plate Stabilization Device and the border energy walls...
…but floods and droughts still exist!
Especially regional floods and droughts, the impact is even more serious.
Not to mention before, let's just talk about now.
A major flood has occurred in Lu Province, Su Fan's hometown.
Heavy rain fell for three days in a row, and the dam was even washed away!
Countless villagers below the dam had to evacuate urgently; the flood submerged their homes. Those who evacuated quickly could save their lives, but those who evacuated slowly were directly...
Thinking of this, Su Fan suddenly had a bold idea.
If the entire Xia Nation were covered with Weather Beacons, then the weather of the entire Xia Nation could be controlled artificially!
Since ancient times, although the northern regions occasionally experienced floods in summer, the regional precipitation in the south is far greater than in the north!
If the whole country were covered with Weather Beacons, then the precipitation in various regions across the country could be controlled at any time.
For example, if a certain region in the north is sowing and lacks water.
It's easy to solve; just contact the Super God Group. Whether you want how many millimeters of rain, whether it should rain heavily or drizzle slowly, the Super God Group can mobilize water vapor to generate different types of clouds by controlling the Weather Beacon network, and soon the rain can fall to the ground!
The more Su Fan thought about it, the more excited he became. This means of controlling rainfall was too powerful and too important.
It must be covered nationwide!
"Xia Nation is 5,200 kilometers long from east to west and 5,500 kilometers long from north to south. If there is one Weather Beacon every 100 kilometers, then only a little over 1,000 Weather Beacons are needed."
"However, for more precise control of local rainfall, they can be placed slightly more densely. Let's prepare for 2,000 Weather Beacons!" Su Fan thought to himself.
Since he had decided to do it, he would start doing it immediately!
Su Fan first piloted the kunpeng no. 2 spaceship to the moon and took a lot of Strongly Corrosive Moss seeds from the Secret Moon Base No. 1.
Then, he took the spaceship to another location on the moon. This was Secret Base No. 2 that he had built in his spare time a while ago, because Secret Base No. 1 was running out of space.
Secret Base No. 2 was identical in scale to Secret Base No. 1, and all kinds of facilities were very complete.
In Secret Base No. 2, he spent 12 million influence points to use Dimensional Ascension Manifestation to materialize the production line for the Weather Beacon.
After doing all this, he did not leave, because the Weather Beacon was only one meter in diameter, shaped like a metal sphere, and not large, so the production was very fast.
In just one day, 2,000 Weather Beacons were all produced!
Su Fan had to exclaim that the production line materialized by the system was truly awesome!
Everything is ready, except for the east wind; next, it is time to start deploying the Weather Beacons nationwide!
Nationwide, of course, also includes the sea areas!
