Chapter 312 Polar Suspicion
Although humans have initially achieved results in the transformation of the climate and ecological environment in the three desert areas of Oceania, a beautiful place with intersecting farmland, grassland, forestland and wetlands was born, the lack of freshwater resources still limits the further expansion of the scale and sustainable development of the region.
At present, 45% of the entire renovation project have not been transformed. The main reason is that there is a huge gap in freshwater resources, and the completed part consumes about 90% of the freshwater quota, especially the amazing water consumption in agriculture and animal husbandry.
In order to meet the food and meat supply of nearly 9 billion people, nearly 30% of the area in the entire transformation plan has been opened into farmland and grassland, and the average daily water consumption of both accounts for more than 40% of the daily output of seawater desalination plants.
In addition, urban residents' water and industrial water use, even if more than 23,300 large seawater desalination factories operate at full capacity, they cannot alleviate the growing water use gap.
The super-large seawater desalination plants under construction have been urgently reduced to 500 due to environmental problems and land occupation factors. According to the dynamic model of the daily average water consumption of relevant departments, even if all these 500 super-large seawater desalination plants are put into use, they still cannot meet the current water needs.
The limitation of freshwater resources has also affected the transformed area to a certain extent, and the formation of a sustainable self-sufficiency ecosystem has been fully realized. At present, the areas that can form the above functions are limited to a small part of the planted forest land.
According to the entire "New World" plan, if we want to fully realize the construction of a sustainable self-sufficiency ecosystem in the areas under human jurisdiction, we must complete the renovation of 55% of the unfinished areas.
The amount of water required to complete this project is astonishingly large, equivalent to the construction of another 56,000 super-large desalination factory, which is an unbearable burden on the environment and land use.
Giving up the original is more practical than building.
As a last resort, humans turned their attention to Antarctica, which is near the slightest scale. The huge amount of ancient ice shelves here can provide humans with a constant supply of fresh water.
But the cruel facts once again woke humans up from their dreams. According to the "Strategic Mutual Trust" agreement signed by humans and the Tabers, humans cannot get involved in any piece of land or ocean on the earth except for the Oceania region within 120 degrees east longitude to 135 degrees east longitude.
Even airspace.
Of course, it also includes Antarctica in the "borderless" land.
If we want to dig the rich glaciers in Antarctica, it will inevitably destroy the agreement signed by both sides, and humans will risk a full-scale war with the Tabers.
This is something that people on earth are extremely reluctant to see.
Fortunately, in the summer of the Southern Hemisphere, that is, between December and February, due to the rising temperature in the southern hemisphere, large glaciers will leave the ancient ice shelves and float towards the ocean.
Due to the influence of monsoons and currents, some of them will float to the vast Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.
These glaciers are often several square kilometers, and some large glaciers have an area of even more than the area of a large city. The freshwater resources provided are tens of thousands of times the average daily output of all large seawater desalination plants in humans.
Fortunately, a very small part of the shed glacier will float to the southern oceans of Oceania. Although it will melt and evaporate over a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers, as long as the measures are appropriate, this part of the glacier can still be captured.
Once captured

The problem of the serious shortage of freshwater resources that plagues these glaciers will be solved.
Just as humans targeted this part of the glacier, people were shocked to find that in the summer of the southern hemisphere, no glacier drifted towards the southern oceans of Oceania.
They either plunged head-on to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, or drifted to the wider Pacific Ocean, as if they were deliberately avoiding this line.
To find out the reasons, the Crisis Programme mobilized all civilian and military reconnaissance satellites located over Oceania, which are located in the synchronous orbit of the Earth, and all satellites outside Oceania are shielded by the anti-satellite systems of the Tabers.
This is also part of the implementation of the "Strategic Mutual Trust" agreement signed by both parties, and the people on earth can do nothing about it.
Although Earthlings used all the satellites, no valuable information was detected except for taking a few blurry photos.
The Tabers installed ground anti-satellite shields in Antarctica.
After analyzing and comparing the blurry photos, the Crisis Programme found that three large factories appeared on the Knox Coast, the Banzare Coast and the Oates Coast in Wilkes, Antarctica.
A large number of large ocean freighters appeared around the factory. Afterwards, after analyzing photos taken by satellites over the waters near Oceania, these freighters seemed to carry an astonishing number of unknown objects.
What surprised the Crisis Program even more was that these cargo ships frequently traveled between Antarctica and the Underworld Company.
What is the Dark River Company carrying?
In order to clarify and solve the reasons why some glaciers are bypassing Oceania, and to find out what are the unknown objects carried by the Dark River Company from Antarctica?
UNCDC immediately came up with relevant departments to come up with a response plan to solve the above two problems.
Soon, the Intelligence Section under the Crisis Programme and its special operations teams under the jurisdiction of the Special Operations Team were entrusted with important tasks, and the Intelligence Section Chief Wu Yijun and Li Sujia became the main persons in charge of the operation.
Wu Yijun also came up with corresponding response plans as quickly as possible. According to his deployment, he will serve as the commander-in-chief at the headquarters, leading the overall situation while providing necessary intelligence and personnel support for the entire operation.
Li Sujia will lead a special combat force composed of flying combat mechas to secretly infiltrate the Knox Coast, the Banzare Coast and the Oates Coast in Antarctica, to carry out this secret combat mission.
The Earthlings' Flying Fighting Mecha is a newly established autonomous combat robot unit with artificial intelligence. It has the ability to operate trinity in land, sea and air, and can perform reconnaissance, anti-submarine, attack and coordinated air vehicles to perform combat missions.
Its technology was derived from the flight combat mecha of Dark River Company. Of course, this technology first originated from the Tabers.
After the Science and Technology Agency led by Liu Hanyang reverse engineering it, it finally developed a new generation of heavy-mounted flight combat mecha.
In order to improve the performance of the mecha, Liu Hanyang's team devoted a lot of effort. After nearly three months of scientific research, a new generation of heavy-loaded flying combat mecha emerged.
In terms of artificial intelligence, weapon performance and flight distance, the new generation of mechas are better than the combat flight mechas of the original Dark River Company.
In addition to the original weapon
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In addition to the system, the new mecha is equipped with long-range dark matter missiles and new electromagnetic pulse bombs; in terms of flight distance, the new mecha can fly to the earth-moon orbit, which is a significant improvement compared to before.
In addition, in terms of protection, the new mecha inherits the dark matter protection barrier technology of space vehicles and large interstellar spacecraft, and can effectively resist the attacks of the Taberian electromagnetic pulse bombs and laser weapons.
According to actual combat tests, 9 laser weapons and 3 electromagnetic pulse bombs can ultimately destroy the dark matter protection barrier, which is a very high combat indicator.
In terms of artificial intelligence, the flying combat mecha provided by the Tabers to Dark River Company castrated some artificial intelligence modules. Their artificial intelligence is limited to executing attack instructions, and their autonomous consciousness is completely blocked.
After Liu Hanyang's team took over, they partially activated and reorganized the autonomous consciousness module they blocked, so that it has a smart flying combat mecha that can independently learn and execute attack instructions in the true sense.
To a certain extent, this type of robot is on the eve of self-awareness recognition and excitement.
Robots with self-awareness have always been wary of and prevented by humans, but in order to improve the performance of mechas, humans only partially activate and reorganize their consciousness control modules, and have not upgraded and transformed them on a large scale.
Despite this, humans did not relax their vigilance and implanted a program related to inhibiting self-awareness recognition in their consciousness control module. If the program is broken through or rewritten by mecha's learning ability, humans have another emergency solution.
This emergency plan is actually a backdoor program. Once the mecha breaks through the above restrictions and enters the self-awareness recognition process, the backdoor will be activated urgently to designate a spiritual leader for the mecha.
This spiritual leader is Li Sujia, a person who has the human brain but has synthetic metal bodies and organs.
Perhaps humans believe that only human moral consciousness can regulate and guide these cold machines and play the greatest role in the framework of their moral and order.
As the future leader of this group of heavy flight combat mechas, Li Sujia naturally has to match the corresponding abilities in order to better lead this mecha unit.
Therefore, the improvement of Li Sujia's physical performance and protection was put on the agenda, and she would be a heavy flight combat mecha with a human brain.
During the first contact with the Tabers, Professor Li Mosen's sacrifice once made Li Sujia fall into deep sorrow. For several months, she did not get out of the haze of her father's sacrifice.
She couldn't accept this cruel fact.
She did not hate anyone for her father's sacrifice. She knew very well that her father's actions were heroic decisions for the survival and future of all mankind. As a family member, she should feel the supreme glory and pride for him.
But as a daughter, her father's death is equivalent to a mountain falling forever, and the father she respects and prides herself for forever passed away.
Since she became an agent, she has been separated from her father. In the past five years, she has only met her father twice, no more than 9 hours. A telegram sent her on the journey of carrying out her mission.
Endless thoughts and unrelieved emotions made her unable to face everything in front of her.
But life has to continue.
The task must be executed.
