Chapter 6671 Accumulation

Chapter 6671 Accumulation
Fa Zheng looked at Chen Xi, who was supporting his head with his hands crossed and looked like he was deep in thought, and he was also helpless. There was nothing he could do. Compared to other things, the heads of the Gan and Shi families coming over was usually a big deal that made people unable to hold back.

"Zichuan, have you thought of any new climate disasters?" Li You looked at Chen Xi, who had a serious and even numb expression, and asked tentatively.

"If I had thought of it, would I have done this?" Chen Xi said unhappily. Compared to things like embezzlement and bribery, the big news released by the Gansu and Shijiazhuang families were the real deadly things. If they were greedy for money and accepted bribes, they would cause disaster to the whole area. In the current environment, not many people would die. However, the disaster climate released by the Gansu and Shijiazhuang families would kill people at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, the locust plague in East Africa has been suppressed, but it is said that tens of thousands of people have died in Rome. This is still considered good management by Rome. If it was not managed well, there would have been a riot and the death toll would have been in the millions.

So compared to other issues, the notices released by the Gan and Shi families were really scary. So when Chen Xi went out and saw the heads of the Gan and Shi families coming together, he ran back to the government office and waited for them to come and see what shocking disastrous weather they could announce today.

"We have just passed the warm winter and the locust plague, so the next thing should be a flood." Zhuge Liang asked tentatively. He knew a little about climate, and some things were actually based on experience. If he thought about it a little more, he could guess it.

"The flood problem is not serious. The rainfall is indeed increasing, but it won't cause a flood. A major flood is impossible in the south of the Yangtze River now, and this little rain in the north is unlikely to cause a disaster. After all, I have had people repairing various water conservancy facilities for the past decade." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

After Rome took control of rainfall in Africa, rainfall in other parts of the world increased significantly. Coupled with last year's warm winter, this year's climate itself was abnormal. After August, rainfall in various places increased rapidly again. However, this level of rainfall is unlikely to cause large-scale floods in the Central Plains.

Not to mention the south, these days Yunmengze is still a huge lake covering hundreds of thousands or even millions of square kilometers. It is a huge swamp wetland, so even if the Yangtze River floods, there will be no impact after passing Yunmengze. The water storage capacity of a large wetland is no joke.

As for the north, although there is a lot of rainfall in the north, Chen Xi has been building various water conservancy facilities in the north for more than ten years. All the well-known water conservancy families have been pulled out by Chen Xi to do the work. Now, if they are wiped out by a wave of heavy rain, Chen Xi feels that he needs to hang these people together.

There will definitely be floods, but to say that it will cause a major disaster is definitely nonsense. The rainfall has not yet reached the level of causing floods at the state and county level. Even causing floods at the county level is a relatively unexpected situation. To be honest, at most it is enough to trap the place with rainfall.

The question is, is this considered a flood? If you really want to say it, it is, but it is not as serious as the heads of the Gan and Shi families coming together. Think about what kind of information these two people have brought to the Han Dynasty whenever they appear together. They should know that such a small flood is not worth it for these two people to come together.

"Then it can only be a strong wind." Li You said with a serious expression. He had been to the south of the Yangtze River and encountered a typhoon. The kind mixed with thunderstorms, the kind that shook the world and made ghosts weep, was very shocking.

"That's enough. Let's wait for those two to come over. I don't know what's going on. Anyway, the typhoon is nothing." Chen Xi said with a pout. The only place that can be affected by the typhoon now is Panyu, which can be considered the core area. The problem is that the people there have professional experience in dealing with typhoons. After all, they have been hit by typhoons since ancient times. If they still have no experience now, they would have been doomed long ago.

"Here's some good news. I used to think Fengxiao was a bad-mouthed person, but those two are even worse-mouthed than Fengxiao." Man Chong said with some tiredness.

Although he was very tired and his face was somewhat green, Chen Xi still arranged people to welcome the heads of the Gan and Shi families. After all, the other party came to inform them to make preparations in advance. It was better than waiting for the news to actually happen.

"Please take a seat, both of you." Chen Xi asked Yuan Yin to prepare tea for the two heads of the Gan Bao and Shi Tao families. After the two were seated, he sent Yuan Yin away first. After all, the shocking words of the Gan and Shi families should be heard by them, the top leaders, first, and then see if they can be spread correctly.

"Hello, everyone." Gan Bao and Shi Tao were not polite. The two pure-blooded technocrats were different from normal bureaucrats. The rank and position were just a matter of consideration. They chatted and laughed with the big guys without any pressure.

"No, no, no, just tell us what happened this time so that we can be mentally prepared. Although I know that unexpected events may happen and it has nothing to do with you, I am still somewhat frightened when I see you coming." Chen Xi said what was in his heart helplessly.

To be honest, after a long time, Chen Xi is not afraid of any strange characters coming to the government office. Even if a so-called big case is uncovered, Chen Xi can deal with it calmly. The only thing is that when the heads of the Gan and Shi families appear out of nowhere, Chen Xi will really be a little scared.

Because you really don't know what strange climate phenomena these two people have discovered.

Compared to what human bureaucrats can come up with, what astronomical phenomena and climate can come up with are truly deadly. At least, after being beaten several times, Chen Xi really couldn't hold it anymore.

"Lord Chen, what you said is a bit too much. It's not that we have to report bad news every time. But unless the weather is extremely bad, we don't need to come to the Council of Government to inform the top leaders. When a disaster may occur in a state or county, the local observers will send us the relevant information. After we evaluate it, we will notify the local bureaucrats and assign a disaster level, and that's it." Gan Bao said somewhat unconvinced.

Although you, Chen Xi, are a god, but you are going too far. Is this a question we want to ask or not? This is God's will. If we don't notify him in advance, we will suffer even greater losses!
"Okay, my question." Chen Xi admitted his mistake decisively. There was nothing much to say about this kind of thing. He was just complaining that the Gan and Shi families had made great contributions to the climate calendar and were of great significance. Every time they came here, it was only because the overall climate situation was not very good. Well, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about this. Every time he came out, it was a big deal. Dump!

"Just tell me, we can hold on. Where is the disastrous climate happening again?" Chen Xi didn't want to dwell on this matter and changed the subject directly. He hoped that the heads of the Gan and Shi families would stop running to the government office, but this matter was just like Gan Bao and Shi Tao said, they couldn't control it, it was God's business.

"Disastrous climate? No!" Shi Tao looked at Chen Xi in confusion and said, "Recently, at most there have been heavy rainfalls in some areas, but our water conservancy facilities are very complete. Generally, as long as we don't enter the mountainous areas, there won't be any major losses."

In fact, there are mudslides in these years, but as I said, mudslides often occur in mountainous areas with sparse vegetation, and the territory of the Han Dynasty is so large that when Chen Xi merged villages and villages, he concentrated most of the villages and villages in the plains, and rarely in mountainous areas. Therefore, even if it rains and causes landslides and mudslides, it will not have much impact on the Han Dynasty.

At least in the judgment of Shi Tao and Gan Bao, the current heavy rain will have no substantial impact on the Han Dynasty and will not cause any disaster.

"Ah, no disastrous weather?" Chen Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then the greenness on his face disappeared. He looked at Gan Bao and Shi Tao with a gentle face, "Are the two family heads short of money? It doesn't matter, just tell me the amount, and I will solve this for you on the spot."

Compared with the outrageous losses caused by the recurrence of catastrophic climate, a mere amount of money is no problem. Chen Xi doesn't care about it at all. Asking for money is good. This is not a joke. Look at the miserable state of Rome now. If you let Pompianus choose, he will definitely choose to give money.

"Well, lack of money is only one aspect. The world ocean current climate map you gave us, as well as the large-scale locust plague that occurred before, the snow disaster before that, etc., have reminded us that we feel that the current means of observing catastrophic climate are relatively scarce and need to be strengthened." Shi Tao said solemnly, "We are going to build a new and more accurate prediction method."

Taking the locust plague in Africa as an example, if the Gan and Shi families could collect information early, they could judge the occurrence of the locust plague in advance, and then they could suppress it before the first round of locusts took off.

However, on the one hand, the scope of intelligence collection of the Gan and Shi families was limited, and on the other hand, their prediction time was indeed too short, resulting in the prediction being made but too late. This was also the reason why the Central Asian family almost strangled Shi Min to death, as the time left was too short.

"Oh, so that's good. How do you plan to build a new method to predict disastrous climate?" Chen Xi nodded slightly when he heard this. The Gan and Shi families have indeed made great achievements in astronomy, climate and calendar, and they do have a certain ability to predict disastrous climate. However, due to the limitations of current technology and the collection of climate data from various places, the prediction time is indeed a bit short.

"We plan to conduct astronomical and geodetic measurements first and reconstruct our concepts." Shi Tao said helplessly. Although many knowledgeable people in the Han Dynasty have realized that the earth is a sphere, this cognitive concept has not yet been distorted from a plane to a sphere.

In other words, Zhang Heng's Hun Tian Theory did win, but because of the problems with human concepts at that time, when thinking, people still used two-dimensional thinking to understand the world, which led to a series of problems. The simplest one is that in terms of climate cycle, subconscious judgment will cause the concept of cycle to be directly broken.

In addition, Gan and Shi's earlier understanding of the world was that the earth was round and the sky was square. Although they had calculated the circumference and inclination of the earth through measurement, it took time to convert all the experience accumulated over thousands of years into a sphere. Moreover, once many things were considered from the perspective of a sphere, they would have to face new problems.

In other words, the spherical concept of the earth solved many of the previous doubts of the Gan and Shi families, but it also brought some other problems, so that many new loopholes appeared in the information handed down by ancestors when they were used, and these loopholes needed to be filled.

In addition, there was a lack of the concept of planets at that time, so many things based on plane planning and calculations, after being applied to the concept of planets, you would find that, fuck, ancestors, you discovered that the data was wrong and specifically changed the data to make it look more compliant.

Such ancestors also exist...

This led to a series of problems, and the Gan and Shi families had no good solution. They could only match and compare each region one by one, and then make modifications. After struggling for five years, they finally realized, forget it, just redo the climate cycle diagram under the concept of a planet, save some trouble, and stop struggling. Matching the data left over from more than two thousand years one by one is really fatal, it's simply a mountain of shit!
So after the two of them sat together with their senior management and discussed for a long time, they finally decided to reconstruct their cognition and make a detailed climate circulation map. Of course, this was also based on the premise that Chen Xi had prepared such a thing for them.

However, the climate flow map that Chen Xi gave was very generalized. After all, it was drawn that way in the geography book, and Chen Xi drew it that way. There was no more detailed one. The Gan and Shi families wanted to combine this to make a more detailed and accurate planetary climate map that would allow them to obtain abnormal climate in advance.

Although it has not been done yet, the Gan and Shi families realized the difficulty of this thing just by thinking about it. According to their estimates, it will take at least several generations to make something presentable. Even if astronomical and geodetic measurements have been carried out now, it can only be said that there is a foundation.

However, a thousand-year-old family does not care how many generations it takes to accomplish something. It is good enough to have a goal and the right direction. What else do you want?

"Measure from Southeast Asia all the way to the North Pole?" Chen Xi asked the heads of the Gan and Shi families very seriously. He knew a little about astronomical and geodetic measurements. After the measurements were completed, many things would be determined, which would greatly promote the navigation industry, climatology, cartography, and the concept of planets.

"Let's measure this part first. We have calculated the equator and the ecliptic before, but these are only at the mathematical level. We need to measure it once, and if we measure from the equator to the North Pole, some things can be confirmed." Gan Bao nodded and said. In fact, there are other things they want to measure, but they don't have enough manpower at the moment, so they can only do it step by step.

"Star positioning technique, right?" Chen Xi looked at Gan Bao and asked.

"Yes, the star positioning technique." Shi Tao did not deny it. The star positioning technique that Wan Zhen developed gave the Gan and Shi families a great shock, because logically speaking, the star positioning technique that Wan Zhen developed could determine one's position in every corner of the earth by relying on time and the sun, moon and stars.

The Gan family and the Shi family had never thought of this thing, but after Wan Zhen made it, the two families realized that they both had all the technologies used in this thing, but they had not put them together for thousands of years.

Of course, this is only part of the emotion. The place where Wan Zhen's star positioning technique allowed the Gan and Shi families to truly break through the blockade is actually the longitude and latitude, because the star positioning technique actually relies on the position and time of the sun, moon and stars to forcibly read one's own longitude and latitude from the earth.

According to the logic of the sphere, as long as the accurate longitude and latitude are available, the straight-line distance between the two sides can even be calculated, so HNA will have a lot of references.

"We need to measure some longitudes and latitudes that do not exist on the planet but are very meaningful to us." Gan Bao roughly gestured twice, and Chen Xi understood that this group of people were ready to finalize the longitudes and latitudes. As for where the zero degree is, Wan Zhen had already given it that year. Of course, it was calculated according to the dragon throne under the eldest princess's buttocks.

"It has reached this level, it's really amazing." Chen Xi said with emotion. The Gan and Shi families were able to quickly deduce this thing from Wan Zhen's speculation. After all, it was really amazing to use it as an important support for the planet's structural map.

It is true that as Gan Bao said, there is no longitude and latitude on the planet, but this thing helps humans to conceive and analyze the planet, and it will be more accurate when calculating.

“Then there are things related to the climate. It may also require the composition of mountains, rivers, and other related veins, as well as the accumulation of local climate data and so on. We estimate that it will take three generations at the fastest, and five generations at the slowest to form. Moreover, this thing requires continuous investment. If it can be successful in the future, it should be able to form such a thing.” As he was speaking, Shi Tao activated the secret mirror, and the blue earth appeared in the sky, and then all kinds of water mist and wind swirled, forming a rotation.

"Generally speaking, if an abnormality occurs in a certain location, it will be manifested here and then reflected in the overall observation. According to our estimation, if this thing takes shape, we can obtain disastrous climate a month in advance." Gan Bao pointed to a certain point on the blue earth and created a fake abnormal climate. Then, affected by the planet's climate flow, changes soon appeared in other places.

"In theory, as long as we can do this, we can influence the climate in certain locations in advance and ensure the overall environment here." Gan Bao pointed to the changes in other places caused by the disastrous climate and said very seriously, "Conversely, we can also impose certain operations in a certain place, which will cause disastrous climate in other places."

When saying this, Gan Bao's expression was somewhat ugly, while Li You was obviously very excited.

"Have you researched to the point where you have this kind of understanding?" Chen Xi said with some respect. These guys are indeed no pushovers. Thousands of years of accumulation have finally paid off.

I can't get up. I can't get up at all. It's so miserable.
