In the mountains more than 1,000 kilometers away from the pole of the Arctic Circle, mankind has established a "doomsday seed bank", which stores 100 million crop seeds from all over the world.
This is the actual "Plant Noah's Ark", also known as the last hope of mankind.
The resume of this "doomsday seed bank" is an advance preparation made by the Norwegian town government in response to the large-scale disasters that have occurred in the world.
If one day a disaster like the doomsday of "Scourge Day" comes, it will be the last hope of mankind.
Whether it is climate change, natural disasters, or nuclear wars, when the earth and mankind are facing destruction and the crops on which mankind depends forever are lost, this place will play the role of "savior".
The seed bank was built 120 meters inside a sandstone mountain in the permafrost zone of the Svalbard Islands in the Arctic Ocean. The location is very remote, the climate is very harsh and cold, and it is inaccessible.
However, these disadvantages are transformed into advantages here, because it is far away from external threats and wars and conflicts, and the low temperature environment is very suitable for long-term storage of seeds.
There is a cement wall up to one meter thick on the periphery. In addition, the seed bank is also equipped with explosion-proof doors and two airtight cabins, which can withstand a magnitude 6.2 earthquake or even an atomic bomb.
The internal area of the seed bank is about 1,000 square meters, divided into three storage rooms, which are kept at minus 18 degrees all year round. Even if there is an accidental power failure, it can be kept cold all year round. It is estimated that the room temperature will only be slowly upgraded after two hundred years. To zero degrees Celsius.
Each storage room is equipped with metal racks that can store 1.5 million sample containers. In total, 2.5 billion seed samples of 4.5 million major crops can be stored here.
Almost every country in the world has stored seeds in this "seed bank" and is preparing for various disasters in the future.
It can be said that there is a collection of the most abundant crop genes in the world. Visitors can see 13 thousand years of agricultural history in it.
At the same time, this seed bank can also be said to be a "backup" for global crops.
If one day, crops in a certain country or region are destroyed due to war or civil strife, or even a global catastrophe, people can take out the seed samples previously stored here from this seed bank.
The use of these carefully stored seeds can restart crop production, because there are many seeds that are likely to survive under extreme environments.
Not only is Norway’s doomsday seed bank, countries all over the world have invested a lot of money to establish a variety of seed banks, and countries have established a digital database of human civilization, which can last as long as a thousand years. , Preserving many digital data of mankind today.
But it is a pity.
These Doomsday Seed Banks and Doomsday Databases are all built on the surface. In other words, they are all built in the mother's internal database.
If there is a disaster on the home planet, the database will also be destroyed. After the destruction, the idea of humans using the database to rebuild their homes is likely to be only human wishful thinking.
After all, as long as human beings have not stepped out of their home planet, they will always be a swaddling baby.
On the day of the natural disaster, mankind also launched a satellite, which contained most of the human data, organized into a data database, and sent it to the starry sky.
But this is not a "fire seed plan", but more like a tragic announcement to the entire universe of the death of mankind, and it is also a tombstone set by mankind himself.
For a long time, mankind has lacked external threats. For thousands of years, civilization has been in constant internal struggle and internal friction. The history of mankind can be said to be a history of war.
Now when the threat from the stars appears, no one will calm down.
"The Tinder Project... even the boss, your technology, can't solve this crisis?" Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes suddenly cast a dark shadow.
For a long time, Datang Technology has represented the top technology company of mankind today.
But in the face of a crisis that may happen in the future, a planet that has been accelerated to the speed of light, directly to the sun, is still helpless.
"There is no way. Twenty years is too short." Ye Fan said helplessly.
Why did he spend so much money in the project of the particle collider?
Because the limitations of materials and energy are the two shackles that have kept mankind from going into the universe. Now the shackles of energy have been broken, and the only thing left is the problem of materials.
If, like "The Wandering Earth", the entire planet escapes from the solar system, then building a huge planetary engine like the one in the movie is an essential project.
However, due to material limitations, it is impossible to achieve such a large volume.
You know that the planetary engine in the movie itself is very large, but it is undeniable that the planetary engine is still too short
The plasma jets ejected by the engines are all launched inside the atmosphere. The plasma jets emitted by 10,000 planetary engines at the same time can blow the entire earth's air into the universe in less than half a day.
Therefore, if a planetary engine is really to be built, its volume can only be larger, and the plasma jet ejected from its injection port must be above the atmosphere.
Otherwise, the earth’s atmosphere will be blown away sooner or later~EbookFREE.me~ However, the question before us is how to make the thing so big. It is necessary to know that the thickness of the atmosphere is 100 kilometers thick. It means that the altitude of the planetary engine should be more than one hundred kilometers.
If you use conventional metal materials, let alone the size of Mount Everest, it is estimated that it has not been built halfway because of its own weight and collapsed.
Therefore, to take the route of the planetary engine, only to upgrade the materials and constantly find suitable materials, so Ye Fan built a large particle collider to find this way out.
And just like in European and American movies, when there is a disaster on the earth, just a few immigrant spacecraft will run away first?
This is impossible. After all, paper cannot keep fire. No one wants to wait for death on the earth when disaster strikes.
If you really take the route of the immigrant spacecraft, then you will definitely not be able to pretend to be everyone, then those who are not selected will make chaos with a mentality of "everyone die together", and it will really be over. . .
