Chapter 182: A Long-lasting Achievement_1

```

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, Qi Guanglu was taken aback. Ever since he joined the "Green Plan," he had always had a global perspective and had always thought his vision was high enough.

But when he heard Jiang Yu talk about changing the environment of a planet, he suddenly felt that his vision was still too shortsighted!

Immediately after, Qi Guanglu became excited. If they could actually meet Jiang Yu's requirements, that would be a revolutionary technology!

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "In the future, let's call this technology 'Climate Air Conditioning.

'This is a term from the Three-Body Game, but I've heard that the civilization associated with 'Climate Air Conditioning' was deleted by ETO."

"Whether ETO is hiding it or not, this is a technology worth further development."

He had long associated it with Climate Air Conditioning that appeared in civilization number 146 in the Three-Body Game.

It was very likely the precursor to planetary climate modification technology.

Jiang Yu didn't continue to think about it, as the clues were too sparse and blindly directing others based on limited clues could easily cause confusion for Qi Guanglu and his team.

He stood up and asked Qi Guanglu, "Which direction are you planning to improve this technology?"

A group of people strolled on the farm ridges, feeling nothing like being in the desert.

As they walked forward, Qi Guanglu explained, "First of all, there's a lot of room to compress the cost of this system. Initially, we planned to use solid hydrogen and solid oxygen, allowing us to bring in more raw materials for water production at once.

"However, the production process for solid hydrogen and solid oxygen itself requires a huge cost, and there is no possibility of a breakthrough in these technologies for the time being.

"So we settled for liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.

"Furthermore, in terms of oxygen production, our initial plan was to extract oxygen from the air, so the oxygen plants could be constructed near the test fields.

"But this technology is also not very mature, and it's even more costly than transporting liquid oxygen from the seaside after electrolysis.

"If this technology could be perfected, then our need for oxygen could be self-sufficient, after all, plants also release a large amount of oxygen."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Hearing you talk like this, I feel like the whole world has become even more wonderful.

"We previously didn't make use of so many things. It was truly wasteful."

Qi Guanglu laughed and said, "As we understand this world more thoroughly, I am curious about how we will transform it in the future?"

He paused, then said, "By the way, our biological research team collaborated with Bo Xiangdong's team on a project once.

"We hoped to cultivate plants that produce hydrogen, but the project was shelved.

"They encountered a barrier. We know which specific gene in plants allows chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis.

"But they tried many methods and were unable to find a way to alter the operating mechanism of chlorophyll.

"If we really could achieve a breakthrough, we could be self-sufficient in hydrogen as well.

"Just that the researchers working on cultivating these plants had to carry oxygen bottles to avoid inhaling too much hydrogen."

Jiang Yu spotted a small wooden cabin in the distance, "There's so much seawater on Earth, we have plenty of hydrogen, let's not trouble the plants that much."

Qi Guanglu nodded, pointing at the small cabin ahead, "This cabin was built using trees from the test fields.

"I invite everyone to have lunch here today. The ingredients are all obtained from the test fields, even the meat comes from wild boars and hares reared in the bushland."

Zhao Yun exclaimed, "Laying the foundations for a lasting legacy! Truly laying the foundations for a lasting legacy!"

What used to be a barren land now thrived with life.

Qi Guanglu said delightedly, "You flatter me."

While Jiang Yu and the others were dining, Qi Guanglu continued to introduce the operational details of the "Climate Air Conditioning" system.

Currently, there are over a hundred "white towers" in the whole system, with more in the west and north and fewer in the south.

Following the practices of Qi Guanglu's team, they generally choose to emit water vapor from the "white towers" during the evening.

The emitted water vapor is carefully controlled and is not at the temperature of boiling water, generally between thirty and forty degrees, and adjustments to the temperature are made according to the season.

Although the local climate has seen some improvement, there is still a significant temperature difference between day and night.

Once the water vapor is released from the "white towers," it can spread far and wide, with the heat carried by the vapor quickly stripped away by the night air and eventually falling on the vegetation in the form of dewdrops.

During periods of strong wind, because the wind primarily comes from the north and west, the "white towers" in those directions will increase their power output.

The water vapor will quickly condense into water in the cold wind and fall onto vegetation along with the fine sand carried by the wind.

If it's winter, the water vapor is emitted at noon because the low temperature means the vapor quickly turns to droplets.

The plants can complete the process of absorbing water during the day to avoid frost damage to evergreen vegetation at night.

After lunch, Jiang Yu and the others rested briefly before preparing to leave.

Before parting, Qi Guanglu lamented to Jiang Yu that PDC had greatly reduced funding for the project group in recent years; expansion of the test fields and new research both called for money. He asked Jiang Yu to allocate more funds for the project group from Moon City.

Jiang Yu also felt somewhat embarrassed, "To be honest with you, most of Moon City's profits are now invested in scientific research.

"Now that the space age has just begun, we can still enjoy the dividends of this era, but what about the future?

"As more and more competitors emerge, our profits may decrease.

"That's why we need to start investing for the future from now.

"There are so many uses for money, and PDC is showing a tendency to abandon us. We need to create a contingency for ourselves."

He paused and then added, "No matter what, the funds will never be abundant.

"I can assign a marketing team to you, though, to take your results, make improvements, and apply them in Moon City and Mars City.

"Wherever people go, they always hope to see some greenery. Your green recycling systems should have a significant market.

"By then, you'll also be making a profit and have more financial freedom."

Qi Guanglu smiled and said, "That would be perfect. We will cooperate with the necessary improvements."

After saying farewell to the desert test fields, Jiang Yu and Zhao Yun went their separate ways.

Zhao Yun and others drove back to Beijing, while Jiang Yu and Number Three, along with other accompanying personnel, headed to a nearby military airport to fly to Bo Xiangdong's project group.

On the plane, Jiang Yu asked Number Three, "Has Di Fengyi's work been going smoothly in these few years?"

What allowed Jiang Yu to firmly control Moon City and his various project groups was that he always kept a tight grip on financial authority and the power to appoint people.

However, after Jiang Yu went into hibernation, a large part of these powers would be handed over to Di Fengyi.

Before the last hibernation, Jiang Yu secretly assigned Number Three a task to monitor Di Fengyi's actions.

It wasn't that he distrusted Di Fengyi; however, when one person holds great power for an extended time, there are always some changes.

Number Three replied, "Director Di Fengyi, as your spokesperson, is now a well-known politician both internationally and in space."
