The problem of food security is a problem that has endangered the survival of the people.

Especially when food production has declined dramatically due to massive changes in the global environment as it is today.

Suwon R&D Centre Main Conference Room,

A meeting on the theme of food security was initiated here.

Experts from around the world took note of the front of the meeting.

Conscious of his gaze, hope opened his mouth.

“Everyone here thinks you know the seriousness of the situation.

It is my hope that this meeting will be chaired by the Executive Chairman of the Food Resources Project. ”

So let's start our emergency response meeting now.

First, please speak on climate related topics. ”

When the words of hope were over, someone flashed their hands.

Hope identified him by the palm of his hand.

“Yes, tell me. ”

“I am the Senior Research Team Leader at the National Meteorological Institute for Steel.

To find out the causes of the decline in food production,

First, we need to know why the anomaly is occurring. ”

The head of the research team took the Bluetooth remote.

The screen's powerpoint screen moved on to the next chapter.

There is a floating video depicting the Earth in three dimensions.

“Hot heat at the equatorial sea is an essential element for the circulation of the atmosphere and the creation of rain clouds.

As you can see in this video, the normal heat of the equator is

revitalizing marine ecosystems due to the circulation of turbulence;

And it has a number of cyclical functions, such as the generation of rainfall due to hurricanes. ”

The research team leader clicked the remote again.

“But the equatorial sea is frozen because of the monsters that suddenly appeared on the equatorial sea.

Moreover, cold clouds covering the upper part of the equatorial sea reflect solar energy.

We're accelerating the temperature drop.

As a result, South Korea is experiencing a rapid temperature drop and a lack of precipitation. ”

Hope, an expert in self-titled pluralism, interrupted and interrupted.

“Right now, precipitation shortages are the biggest problem.

So can we manoeuvre this weather device to convert it artificially?

Is it raining artificially across the country? ”

“.. local artificial rainfall is possible, but rainfall in large areas is not possible.

because artificial rainfall also depends on the absolute amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

It must be more than a certain amount of moisture and have clouds to allow it to rain. ”

“Hmm..”

The head of the steel research team handed over the next chapter of PowerPoint.

“Now look at this screen.

If this continues, the rainfall in the future will be about 60 percent.

And the average annual temperature will drop up to nine degrees below normal. ”

“.. it's similar to Moscow. ”

“Yes, hopefully, Commissioner.

The Atlantic side of GNAMA is fortunate that there are no anomalies.

If there was a problem there, the Earth would have entered an extreme ice age. ”

“So what is the reduction in agricultural production?

Someone will answer. ”

Someone stood up with their hands up.

“I'm Professor Kim Mingi of the Institute of Agricultural Economics.

Based on current climate change data, what we predicted is,

We're judging crop declines by about 70 percent due to climate change. ”

“This is worse than I heard in Sejong last time. ”

“Yes, the previous data did not include the anomaly variable of turbulence.

What we're doing now is we're adding turbulence data. ”

Hope realizes once again the seriousness of the situation since the Sejong meeting.

There was no other way to solve the problem than to produce food on its own.

It suddenly occurred to me, as one future food scientist argued, to cultivate the bug as a protein source.

There are also foods sold as canned bundles.

In the worst case scenario, the time may come to use such a method.

“Very good.

So first of all, we can't feed the people with the amount of food that comes from conventional paddy fields.

Let's discuss if there's a way to increase it. ”

“He's a professor at the Seoul Agricultural Life Sciences Institute.

We propose plant plants for food production. ”

Food factories;

It was a very unfamiliar word for hope.

“What's a plant? ”

“Factory farming that grows plants indoors. ”

“That's gonna cost a lot of money. ”

Hope recalled the inner garden of the factory within the hot water station.

An eco-friendly garden installed inside the factory is a facility with high investment and maintenance costs.

“Yes, the cost of investing in the facility is not high. ”

Professor E. 's answer was also different from that of hope.

“How much would it cost to invest in a facility around 100 square feet? ”

“Recently, the cost of the facility has fallen a lot, requiring about KRW 600 million. ”

“Hush....”

600 million, so building a 500-square-foot plantation costs about 3 billion won.

Then it matches the price of HGD1 canister gas.

A plant plant plant is a waste of money unless it is raised in a factory.

This means that we cannot plan for food production.

“Oh... I can't... I can't... I have a problem with the cost.

How much agricultural product do you expect to get from 100 squares?

It's not for a few million won, it's for 600 million won.

And the value of the land goes in again. ”

“It might cost you money.

But mass-production can bring down a lot of unit prices. ”

“Approximately how much? ”

“Because I'm not your expert...”

Hearing what the professor said raised negative thoughts about the food factory.

One trillion won should be spent on factory construction. Approximately 160,000 square feet.

There are distinct limits to food supply.

Can I only supply fresh vegetables to people with a lot of money?

It is impossible to supply fresh vegetables to return to the people.

“Let's consider food production plants instead of propulsion.

Any other comments? ”

This time, the Fusion Cooperation Commander raised his hand.

“Honourable senators, as long as existing major food exporters are struggling,

You might want to think about how to build your own new offshore food production base. ”

“So where would it be good to go to build a food production base? ”

“It would be good for Africa to be out of the influence of monsters. ”

“Africa...”

Africa is relatively free from abnormal temperatures because it certainly does not have the Pacific Ocean on it.

the warm turbulent terrain of the Indian Ocean and the South Atlantic,

Besides, the mass of land is enormous.

It was much more cost-effective than building a few factories.

“If it's Africa... I don't think there's a problem.

Is there enough manpower? There's no mechanical agriculture, there's no road networks, there's a lot of internal electricity. ”

“Perhaps the monster hunter...”

“Hmm..”

Hope kept her mouth shut and pondered the matter.

The issue of putting monster hunters into Africa was a sensitive one.

It seems to me that mobilising the Staogun troops in the security forces has caused an extreme upsurge.

It seemed more efficient to deploy troops in consultation with the Pentagon or North Korea.

But after the meeting, the solution came out.

Eventually, during the meeting, I called in officials from the Ministry of Defence.

As soon as a solution begins to emerge, government officials are involved.

It was enlarged from its own meetings to those of civil society.

This afternoon, military officials from the north took an urgent flight to Incheon.

The Conference on Measures on the Food Problem has begun to grow in scale.

At a meeting leading up to the evening, North and South Korea decided to build an offshore food production base in Africa in a civil union.

The same day, the Chinese decided to send the remaining sailors to Africa as well.

Russia has also taken the decision to send two airlift and an air force to Africa to secure food.

It was so trivial to call it a coincidence.

Two days later.

Special Warrior Engineer Squadron and Armoured Battalion armored vehicles gathered at Muan Airport.

Soldiers preparing to leave for Africa;

And people from private construction companies.

Dragu knobs and AK rifles are also gathered in one place on the bare shoulders of North Korean troops.

Hope looked around at the people gathered here and looked at the numbers with the eyes of the public.

“So the total number of people gathered here? ”

The head of the Special Operations 3 team departing as head of the Insol team replied.

“Yes, Senator, there are 800 people who will depart in a single digit. ”

“All right, then, everybody, good work. ”

Shhh!

The C17Globe masters, who were carrying one-man vehicles and equipment, began to take off from the airport one by one.

Establishing such a food production base in Africa seemed to start off smoothly from scratch.

“Oh, is the food problem sighing?

Hahaha, things worked out easier than I thought. ”

Hope felt proud of itself.

Resolve the Earth's communication problems with wind-light aircraft,

The anomaly of the nuclear explosion was also neatly removed.

If we solve the food problem properly this time, we will no longer be able to say that we are even experts.

“Now all that remains is to supply fresh vegetables? ”

In fact, vegetables were the biggest problem.

It is very important to provide vegetables for the entire people to eat.

People can't just eat food.

Salads must be eaten, lettuce must be eaten, and soup must be eaten.

Unlike long-term storage foods such as rice or corn,

Vegetables are virtually impossible to supply from overseas food bases in Africa.

‘The only way is to build a food factory in your opinion. ”

Perhaps the biggest problem with setting up a factory is its cost.

600 million won in construction costs per 100 square kilometres,

Of course, construction costs and land values are not included in the cost.

However, I didn't think of anything other than a food factory to supply enough vegetables.

“Well, you should go home and think about it.

We solved the problem of overseas food production bases. ”

Hope decided to feel comfortable later and return home.

However, contrary to the idea of hope, the construction of an overseas food base hit an unexpected reef.

A week later, the British Prime Minister's office in London.

“Prime Minister, our current level of food subsistence is difficult to deliver next year. ”

“What about other countries' movements? ”

“France is currently planning to reduce its food exports by about 80 per cent,

Denmark is also on track to reduce the number of dairy cows. ”

The prime minister grabs a glass with cold Earl Grey and follows it with a johnny walker's cap and challenging glass.

Having swallowed it, the Prime Minister savoured the warmth in the tenderness of digging his throat.

How to solve the food crisis in the United Kingdom, a base for overseas food production.

I have come to the conclusion that there are no other options than that.

“It's time to exert our influence on the African countries included in our British Decree. ”

“Yes, Prime Minister."

“Let's set up an expedition abroad and a civilian support team to get you ready.

I will meet with the faction representatives and seek their consent.

So China got into African trouble? ”

“Russia and South Korea have also sent expeditionaries to build food production bases in Africa. ”

The prime minister's glands were crumpled.

China and Russia were overwhelmed, but if Korea got involved, Africa's reputation would be completely turned upside down.

There is a powerful PMC in Korea called Monster Hunter.

It has become virtually impossible to stop their powerful superpower simply by supporting a friendly government in the UK.

“.. I don't think we have enough power. I'm gonna need NATO's strength.

Now is not the time to take advantage of small profits. ”

The minister's complexion hardened when he heard the Prime Minister.

NATO's involvement in Africa forced China, Russia, Korea and Russia to end up indebted to friction.

Among NATO members, however, there were more than half the countries lacking food.

After all, under the leadership of the United Kingdom, the major European countries have also undertaken to make Africa a major food production base.

Decided to deploy professional and guard personnel.

In the meantime, troops from China, Russia, South Korea, and European countries gathered in Africa.

It was a sign that foresaw the beginning of an extreme African civil war and the fight against military force.
