Chapter 69 Vacation
The cleaning work went very smoothly, or was strictly carried out according to the plan.
By the end of January, nearly 500 "angels" had already taken off, and more than 1.4 million tons of dust returned to the ground, about 10% more than expected.
Because the total demand has increased to 150,000, the second assembly plant has also begun construction.[bsp; If nothing unexpected happens, it will take only ten months to produce 150,000 "angels" at most, and the cleaning work is expected to be completed three months ahead of schedule.
Of course, whether to go ahead or not depends on the scientists.
The reason is very simple. Three months of sunlight radiation heating will definitely affect the Arctic ice sheet, which may lead to accidents. If the Arctic ice sheet does not freeze to the normal year in the winter of 2036, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, this is a relatively long process.
Within these months, scientists have enough time to collect data, evaluate the impact of cleaning work, and develop more reliable plans. More importantly, with plenty of time, there are enough opportunities to adjust the speed of cleaning work progress.
On February 1, Mu Haoyang officially resigned from his post as commander-in-chief in Japan.
It’s not that he is not competent for this position, but that he has a more important task to him: participate in the space garbage cleaning operation as the chief representative of the Chinese military.
Before this, something happened that no one wanted to see.
On January 27, China launched its first strong magnetic field satellite as planned, and the operation to clean up space garbage officially began.
Just two days later, the satellite, which was operating in a nearly circular orbit of 320 kilometers, broke down into the South Pacific Ocean on the night of January 30.
Although no casualties were caused, it had a serious impact on the actions to understand space garbage.
You should know that before this, all countries had high hopes for China's strong magnetic field satellites, believing that they could clean up space garbage like dust.
On January 31, the China Space Administration announced the results of the accident investigation.
What caused the accident was the space garbage that strong magnetic field satellites had to deal with.
According to the data detected by ground radar, before the failure occurs, the satellite is hit by a piece of space garbage that is twenty centimeters long, five centimeters wide, three centimeters thick, and about one kilogram of weight. Because it is not affected by a strong magnetic field, it can be basically concluded that it is a piece of non-metallic debris.
The problem is that Chinese scientists took this into consideration when designing.
Facts have proved that Chinese scientists have seriously underestimated the destruction effect of space garbage flying at speeds of several kilometers per second is far beyond expectations, and satellites are not strictly protected. If space garbage hits vulnerable parts, satellites will become new space garbage.
When this satellite crashed, it left at least a thousand pieces of debris in orbit!
In other words, not only did it not clean up space garbage, but it increased space garbage.
The accident made all four major space powers realize that cleaning up space waste is much more difficult than cleaning up stratosphere dust, and it is likely that it will not be cleaned.
The reason is very simple: the speed of cleaning up space garbage is probably not as good as the speed of generating space garbage.
Based on this conclusion, the four parties urgently coordinated and formed an international organization led by the military to discuss how to clean up space garbage.
It must be admitted that Teng Yaohui took this opportunity to give Mu Haoyang a big vacation, allowing him to avoid Japan's troubles.
You know, the situation in Japan is already very complicated at this time.
On the issue of whether to retain the imperial power, the Chinese government did not interfere in name but actually opposed it, that is, advocated the abolition of the emperor.
At that time, Li Pingko had proposed to form an elected government in Japan.
Li Pingko's actions were mainly based on long-term considerations, that is, Japan's past astray was related to the Emperor, or the Emperor became the banner of Japanese militarism. If the Emperor was not abolished, no one could guarantee that Japan would not go astray again in the future.
In fact, this is just a high-sounding reason.
When China advocated the abolition of the Emperor, the United States raised objections and claimed that China did this in preparation for the annexation of Japan, because without the emperor, Japan's sovereign state status would be shaken. After China formally annexed Japan through military occupation, by abolishing the Emperor, it can dissolve the Japanese's sovereign consciousness on a spiritual level and lay the foundation for the final annexation of Japan.
Is it possible for China to annex Japan?
Half a year ago, I'm afraid no one would believe that Japan is a country with a population of more than 100 million. It has its own unique cultural tradition, its own language and ideology, and its independent history of more than two thousand years. No country can annex Japan.
After the end of World War II, the United States occupied Japan for more than half a century, but failed to assimilate Japan.
However, after the particle storm, China's annexation of Japan was definitely not a delusion, and it was very likely to become a fact.
The reason is very simple, this storm almost destroyed the Yamato people!
Within more than three months after the end of the war, the number of civilians killed in Japan had reached 27 million, and almost the same number of civilians survived less than 2039. More importantly, among these people suffering from severe radiation, males, especially young and middle-aged men. According to statistics released by the Chinese Occupation Army at the end of 2035, 80% of the victims were men between the ages of 18 and 45, while among the Japanese who suffered severe radiation and suffered from incurable diseases such as skin cancer and blood cancer, 60% were men of this age. Before the outbreak of the war, the total number of Japanese men between the ages of 18 and 45 was 42 million. If the statistical results of the Occupation Army did not have much deviation, then at most only 4 million Japanese men of this age lived until two years later.
What is this concept?
Let’s not talk about whether these Japanese men are healthy, even if they are all fertile, the Yamato nation will perish.
You know, among the survivors, most of them are young and strong women!
For a nation, when all men at normal childbearing age die one after another, this nation no longer exists.
Of course, the situation is worse than the statistics.
According to statistics from the EU-sponsored Japan, there will be no more than 500,000 men in Japan who are still fertile, and most of them are minors under the age of sixteen, while there will be no more than 20 million women in the age of sixteen, mainly minors under the age of sixteen. The main reason for this result is that during the particle storm, including minors aged 12 to 16, Japanese men assumed their main social work responsibilities, while minors under the age of fourteen were protected. To be precise, they are less exposed to the sun and are far less affected by radiation than men.
Although the Yamato nation has not yet perished, it is destined to perish.
According to the most optimistic estimate, by the end of 2038, the total population of Japan will drop to about 40 million, and 80% will be women, especially women under the age of 35. If the health status does not improve, the total population of Japan will drop to less than 30 million in 2040.
The most prominent problem is that the fertility rate cannot be restored, and the most fundamental reason is the serious imbalance in the gender ratio.
Under this circumstance, it will not be difficult for China to annex Japan.
In contrast to Japan, males accounted for the majority of the Chinese population. Before the outbreak of the war, the number of male citizens in China was about 50 million more than that of women.
It can be said that there is no need for the Chinese government to introduce special policies. As long as long as Japan is maintained for a long time, Japan will become history, because there must be many Chinese people, especially men, who will spontaneously go to Japan to fill the social vacancy caused by the sharp decline in the population.
If China can effectively solve the sequelae of particle storm, such as cancer caused, this process will be accelerated.
In fact, the treatment of cancer has become the main research direction for medical workers and biological scientists in various countries.
As early as the end of 2035, American scientists claimed that they had found a vaccine to treat blood cancer, which could reduce the incidence of blood cancer to less than 20% within eight years. European scientists have also made significant contributions and made major breakthroughs in the research of skin cancer. Chinese scientists' research progress is not slow, but they did not focus on vaccines, but instead looked for treatment through genes.
It is optimistic that within three to five years, drugs and vaccines will be developed to treat some cancers.
Obviously, it is impossible for China to withdraw its troops from Japan within three to five years.
More importantly, most Japanese male citizens cannot live until three to five years later.
It is precisely because of this that the United States firmly opposes China's abolition of the Emperor, and even opposes China's separate occupation of Japan, proposing that the international community should take over Japan.
Of course, it is obviously impossible for Li Pingko to agree to the United States' request.
Where did the international community go when China and Japan are at war?
Take the United States as an example. It not only provides information to Japan in secret, but also provides anchorages for the Japanese fleet, promising to provide weapons and equipment for Japan.
If Japan was not the one who was defeated, would the United States be so "kind"?
At this time, Teng Yaohui transferred Mu Haoyang from Japan, which means he did not go to this muddy water. You should know that Mu Haoyang is the number one candidate for the next Chief of Staff and has shined in the international action to save human civilization. Teng Yaohui does not want his reputation to be destroyed.
The one who replaced Mu Haoyang was Pang Yuelong, who had always been responsible for occupying military affairs.
Because Mu Haoyang was a naval general, before Pang Yuelong became the commander-in-chief of the occupying army in Japan, Teng Yaohui won the rank of Marine General for him.
As expected, after the natural disaster has passed, Pang Yuelong will serve as the commander of the Marine Corps.
As for Mu Haoyang, he is likely to return to the Navy, take over Teng Yaohui's squad, and serve as the commander of the Navy. Yang Yufang, who had the most hope to serve as the commander of the Navy, would be responsible for the integration of the General Equipment Department and the General Logistics Department. When Mu Haoyang became the Chief of Staff, he was responsible for the logistics equipment work.
For Mu Haoyang, this is indeed a vacation.
