Chapter 1798 up your alley(7)

During the Cold War confrontation in the 1960s, not only the Americans tried to create weapons that could affect the weather, but the Soviets were no exception. For this reason, the United Nations formally adopted a convention banning the use of climate weapons in 1977, but those who were busy in the arms race

The two countries still go their own way.

Although James Bond is fake, British spies still stole a lot of intelligence from the United States and Russia. This included the United States collecting weather reports from airports around the world, and the Soviet Union sending scientists to investigate the causes of extremely cold weather, because whether it was

Napoleon and Germany during World War II were all defeated by cold weather in a sense.

If this kind of weather can be artificially controlled, then Russia will have an indestructible "iron wall". Compared with the United States using rain bombs and silver iodide to create floods and droughts, this extremely cold weather is more like a defensive weapon and may be a

As part of the Soviet Union's capital defense plan, the Soviet Union dug air-raid shelters several kilometers underground because of fear of nuclear attack.

Corruption is everywhere. There are many people who use the Star Wars project to get budgets for meteorological weapons. No one knows whether these meteorological weapons are useful. The rainy season in Vietnam is already rainy. It is hard to see whether artificial intervention has any effect.

Come out, maybe Cuba was going to have a drought during that period.

The biggest feature of weather weapons is that no evidence can be found. After all, any human power is insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

However, people can still hear some "inside information" from the Ministry of Defense, which makes people feel that this is really done by the Americans. Their experiment is successful. With "irrefutable proof", it will have a deterrent effect, which is enough to scare the enemy into timidity.

To the extent that as long as you are afraid of them, these people are no longer a threat.

Perhaps personal power is small, and quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, which can also produce amazing results.

Chaos theory has been commonly used in weather prediction. Although this theory makes weather forecasting more difficult, some people still use this theory to build mathematical models and use supercomputers to perform calculations, such as the meteorologists in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".

It's just that he studies paleometeorology.

There are few British people who don't know Darwin. In Chapter 12 of Darwin's "The Origin of Species", he mentioned the polar homogeneity of terrestrial animals and plants. This means that although the north and south poles are separated into two halves by the tropical and temperate zones in the middle, they can

Polar creatures at both poles are closely related.

The fish in the deep sea are understandable. Originally, the sea areas of the earth were basically connected. Before the opening of the Panama Canal, Darwin discovered that the sea fish on both sides of Panama were very similar, which means that it is very likely that the Panama area has existed for a long time.

A long time ago, it was one sea area, but later the two sides were separated when the sea level dropped.

The distribution of terrestrial animals and plants cannot be explained by this method. Some people have suggested that migratory birds are the reason, but even migratory birds cannot fly from the North Pole to the Antarctic and "airdrop" seeds to the Antarctic.

Siberian swans often go to Japan to spend the winter. Of course, migratory birds are based on the principle of proximity. There is also a hypothesis that the world cooled during the Ice Age, including the tropics. Later, after the Ice Age, the temperature increased, and animals and plants suitable for living in the cold zone were humid in the tropics.

Unable to adapt to the sweltering climate, it became extinct on its own.

This is also impossible. Even the tropics are really cold enough for organisms in the cold zone to survive. All species on the earth have long been collectively destroyed. Darwin favored the alternation of ice ages in the northern and southern hemispheres. This cooling process is gradual and not like "

It's so extreme in "The Day After Tomorrow". For example, saber-toothed tigers and mammoths all live near the poles. Their cold tolerance has a limit. When polar animals in the northern hemisphere feel that they are not suitable for their own survival, they migrate to the south. In the process, polar creatures will gradually replace them.

Temperate animals and temperate animals are driven to remote areas. When the temperature turns back, arctic animals retreat northward, and the squeezed out temperate animals return to their original habitats.

Compared with the complete mammoth remains found in the Siberian permafrost, the wool of the mammoth found in the Americas is not that long, perhaps to facilitate its heat dissipation.

As for the two-level homology of terrestrial plants, for example, the fact that arctic alpine plants such as Crotia gentiana appear in Tierra del Fuego is still the responsibility of the "albatross". The fact that unique animals and plants in the southern hemisphere, such as kangaroos, do not appear in the northern hemisphere is also a problem.

puzzle.

Human activities have also brought some species that would not otherwise have appeared there, such as Australian wild dogs and cats, and invasive species such as wild oats. Humans brought cats and dogs to Australia to keep themselves company, or to

Let the cat catch mice. Instead of catching mice, the cat catches Australian native animals.

Wild oats were brought here by accident. They grew like weeds in the local area because they had no natural predators and had to be weeded manually. Otherwise, they would rob the grain of nutrients and reduce grain production.

The main planting areas of natural rubber trees are concentrated in Southeast Asia, which is the area covered by the Indonesian tsunami. The main rubber plantations in Indonesia are located in Sumatra, which is also the place hardest hit by the disaster. Many speculators think that rubber should rise sharply.

, but after observing the market, Lucius found that the futures price of rubber dropped.

Not only rubber, the transaction prices of other industrial products have also continued to be sluggish. Even Thailand, which was also affected by the disaster, has introduced policies to increase the price of rubber, but the transaction pattern is still not promising.

There is an idiom that says things hurt their own kind. It is a metaphor for seeing the death of the same kind and making you feel sad when thinking about your future fate. A sad market atmosphere is not conducive to business. The essence of business is to make people happy, and happiness is the ecosystem of business.

.

Sometimes living too clearly can lead to unhappiness. Diamond rings are a scam, but a woman is willing to wear a big diamond ring to show off everywhere and tell people everywhere that it was a gift from her husband. It can also be regarded as a pledge of ownership to her husband.

Save him countless troubles.

Lucius is wearing a wedding ring now. Although it is a little early to get married in his early 20s, most women are very sensible when they see the ring on "Alessandro"'s hand.

If the cashier wants to be corrupt, she deliberately does not use the cash register when checking out, and the customer gives her the money and she puts it in her pocket. If the boss hires a supervisor to rectify this phenomenon, not only will he spend more money,

It will also greatly affect employees' work enthusiasm.

At this time, if the boss leaves a note on the cash register, it says "If you purchase a meal without a cash register, you will get a free meal, please call xxxxxxx".

Of course customers are willing to eat for free, but most customers don't know why they left this note.

In fact, the boss does this to let the customers supervise for him. If the cashier commits corruption, the customer can call to report it. The cashier knows that the customer will not call, and the boss also knows that the cashier will not remind the customer why he wants to get a note, that note.

The purpose of the note is to act as a deterrent. If everyone follows the rules, everything will be fine.

As for why a Coke company acquired a French milk company, Lucius heard that Southeast Asia was suffering from a drought. It had not rained for a long time, and the infrastructure was destroyed by the tsunami. Many people had problems drinking water, and dysentery also appeared in some areas.

symptom.

Selling pure water at this time would be a good deal, but if the Americans buy Danone now, will it be enough to meet the post-disaster reconstruction needs in Southeast Asia?

Another issue is Alstom’s power station project in Indonesia. Was it affected by the tsunami this time?

A British scholar who studies fluid mechanics pointed out that although Sri Lanka does not have a large breakwater, it does have many natural coral reefs. However, due to the development of tourism in recent years, the coral reefs have been mined and made into handicrafts to sell to tourists. This natural breakwater has been lost.

The harm caused by the tsunami is even greater. There is a place called Sikaduwa. The coral reefs are carefully cared for. When the waves arrive, the coral reefs block the big waves, so the damage to Sikaduwa is not serious.

Illegal mining and illegal digging of corals is like digging holes in a dam. Restoring the ecology and restoring the coral reefs to their original appearance may really work.

Alstom and Danone are both private companies, and the executives of these two companies are not within the scope of French administrative law. Just as Louisiana has civil law, French administrative law also uses cases, similar to common law. And

Some companies with strategic value have also been nationalized, and the appointment or dismissal of responsible persons is an administrative decision, and they are subject to the same administrative laws as civil servants.

Private companies are not included in this list.

Alstom is responsible for the charging business of French nuclear submarines.

Although the Americans were dealing with the French, what would the other allies think after seeing this move?

No wonder Kingsley aged so quickly after becoming Minister of Magic.

This international law of secrecy really protects wizards. At first, Salazar Slytherin was playing with the Muggle children near the castle. Later, they insisted on seeing the dragon. Not only did these Muggles lose their lives, but also Salazar Slytherin.

Racha's mother also died from the dragon's breath.

Then Hogwarts had the school motto "Leave the sleeping dragon alone".

Sometimes too much curiosity can kill the cat.

Cats have nine lives, how many do humans have?

What determines our destiny is not our abilities, but our choices.

Just like those citizens who escaped the tsunami and hid in the library in the movie. They made what they thought was the right judgment when they chose to follow the police or listen to a student.

Staying in the library will also face the problem of food shortage.

Leaving seemed right and rational at the time, and it was still the choice of most people.

At that moment, life and death were decided. Jack had done what he could. He did a good job, better than some adults. He not only saved his small team, but also found the medicine for his beloved girl.

.

That's it, he doesn't need to save all mankind, only a fool would do that.
