Chapter 1380: Artificial rainfall

After two days of this work, Cheng Yu came to Zhao Zhongyao's office again. Let me give back for the work he has done. ‘Mr. Zhao, we have put some dry ice material in this biosphere system. Said Cheng Yu.
'is it! Then let's check the carbon dioxide content in this biosphere system! As Zhao Zhongyao spoke, he stood up from his desk. Then, walked out of the office with Cheng Yu.
The two came directly to the place of the biosphere. Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu opened the door of the closed system together. Then stood at the door and felt it.
This closed system has a relatively large space. Coupled with the curved glass developed by Zhao Zhongyao, the greenhouse effect can be effectively avoided. In this case, the temperature in this enclosed space can be maintained at a suitable temperature for the human body, which is about 20 degrees.
Zhao Zhongyao felt the temperature inside. I took an air composition analyzer from a cabinet next to it to check the carbon dioxide content in this confined space.
Zhao Zhongyao has already placed a lot of inspection instruments in this enclosed space. After all, it is more complicated to check the air composition in this enclosed space. Various instruments are also used.
Now Zhao Zhongyao uses an air composition analyzer to detect the air composition in this enclosed space.
After Zhao Zhongyao inspected it, he saw that the carbon dioxide content in the air in this space was very high. It has reached a level that can provide breathing for plants in this biosphere.
‘Okay, there is enough carbon dioxide in the air in this space. No more dry ice. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu and said.
‘Okay, then we won’t put it anymore. Cheng Yu said again.
‘Okay, that’s it. Let’s observe for a few more days to see if the plants inside can live normally. If everything is normal, we can stock some small animals in it. In this way, as long as these small animals can also live normally, then our earth's biosphere can be considered as a successful experiment. ’
Zhao Zhongyao knew that as long as the study of the biosphere on the earth was successful, they could replicate the technology of this small biosphere to the large biosphere on the moon.
‘Okay, Mr. Zhao, let’s observe for a few days before we talk! After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Cheng Yu said again.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu observed them for a few days. I feel that the closed system in this biosphere is already normal. You can stock small animals.
So, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu and said, ‘That’s it, our planet’s biosphere seems to have no problems. You can buy some small animals. Then, we can put these small animals in the biosphere for experiments. ’
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Cheng Yu said happily, ‘Okay, I will do this right away. I just don't know what kind of animal is suitable to buy! ’
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, ‘Or, buy some livestock and poultry first! After all, these animals are easier to find. If you buy some wild animals, it will be more difficult to find. Can only go to the zoo to buy. After all, there are very few wild animals in the wild. Let's buy some livestock and poultry first! ’
‘Okay, I’ll do this now. After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Cheng Yu said again.
In this way, Cheng Yu went to do this. Zhao Zhongyao is also busy with other things these days, and he has not paid attention to the biosphere.
After Cheng Yu bought some livestock and poultry, he returned to the company. He wants to put these livestock and poultry directly into the earth's biosphere. See if they can live in this new home.
But when Cheng Yu came to this place in the earth's biosphere and wanted to put these domestic animals and poultry into this biosphere. He suddenly discovered some problems. The leaves of the big trees on the hill were rolled up. It looks like it is very dry.
As soon as he saw this situation, Cheng Yu dared not raise small animals inside. Instead, he came directly to Zhao Zhongyao's office.
‘Mr. Zhao, something happened to the biosphere. Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
Zhao Zhongyao did not take care of this biosphere because he was busy with other things these days. But he went to see it the day before yesterday. Everything is normal, there is no problem at all! Now that Cheng Yu said this, Zhao Zhongyao was a little worried.
‘What did you say, something happened to the biosphere. What is it, it doesn't matter! Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu nervously and said.
‘It’s like this, the leaves of those big trees are rolled up, and I don’t know what happened. Cheng Yu also looked at Zhao Zhongyao nervously and said.
‘Ah, there is such a thing, let’s go and take a look. After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Zhao Zhongyao also felt very strange. I don't understand what happened to the leaves of these big trees, how could they be rolled up.
‘Okay, let’s go and take a look. After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he walked out of the office with Zhao Zhongyao.
The two soon came to the place of the biosphere. When they came to this place. Zhao Zhongyao saw it at a glance. Many of the trees on the islands were covered with leaves. It seems to be very dry.
Because the biosphere is a glass dome, even standing outside, you can clearly see the inside of the biosphere.
‘Mr. Zhao, you see if this is the case, and I don’t know what is going on. Looking at Zhao Zhongyao, Cheng Yu was also full of doubts.
‘Let’s go inside and take a look. "Just now, Zhao Zhongyao was only with Cheng Yu. They saw what was going on inside. They haven't even entered this biosphere to take a look!
‘Okay, let’s go in and take a look. After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he took out something similar to a remote control. He took a picture of the curved glass in front of him. This piece of curved glass suddenly opened.
Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu walked in. After they entered, they saw the leaves of the trees on the island rolled up. It looks like it is very dry. The grass on the ground seemed to be better. But there are also some small grass leaves that have also rolled up.
‘Mr. Zhao, look at what’s going on. Does this mean that these big trees and grasses are a little short of water. Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
After all, this is also common sense. As long as you are born in the countryside and have seen corn planting, you will know that when corn grows in the field, if you pump water, the corn leaves will roll up. This is a reaction of corn itself. When the corn plant feels that there is too little moisture in the soil, he rolls up the leaves. This is a measure of self-protection.
Now that the leaves of the big trees and the leaves of these small grasses on this small island seem to be feeling the lack of water in the soil, this is what happened.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the leaves of trees and some grasses on the islands. He thought for a moment and said, ‘Yes, these big trees and small grasses are all because of pumping water. Just water them. ’
Zhao Zhongyao knew that these big trees and small grasses were transplanted from other places. When they came to this place from another place. The water retained in the soil will be reduced. Because if they are in place, they have a lot of water in their soil. Also, the place at that time was a big mountain. The mountain is high and the water is high. A big mountain is almost a solid reservoir. The whole mountain can be said to hold a lot of water.
Of course, if you can reach a mountain with a fixed moisture content, it must be very large. If it's an ordinary hill. Even a small soil might not have such a function.
And the small soil in the biosphere in front of you obviously does not have the function of locking in water. When these big trees and small grasses are transplanted from other places, there will be water shortage. This phenomenon was not obvious when it was just transplanted.
After all, Zheng Mingshan was not afraid of trouble when they did this. Using large machinery, the soil under the entire tree was excavated. Let the roots of these big trees carry a huge mound. In this way, the survival rate of these big trees after transplanting can be guaranteed.
But no matter how big a piece of soil you dug from the root of this big tree. When the big tree is transplanted to this small soil slope. The water it preserves cannot support the survival of this big tree.
Because of this, the big trees on the entire island are now pumping water. After all, they used the same method when transplanting. Did not take care of that big tree. I dug some more soil for it.
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the big trees on the small island in front of him and said, ‘Yes, these big trees and small grasses roll up their leaves because of lack of water. There is no way, we can only continue to intervene in this biosphere. It is necessary to water these big trees quickly and let them rejuvenate. ’
‘Okay, I’ll do this now. After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Cheng Yu walked to a place. This place is a small room. There are a lot of equipment in it, all of which are used to manage the biosphere.
When Zhao Zhongyao designed this biosphere, he also designed many interventions. After all, this biosphere is just an experimental biosphere. To do experiments, you have to use a lot of instruments. And to experiment with such a large-scale biosphere, of course, a variety of important equipment must be used.
Zhao Zhongyao had long thought of the question of how to water these big trees. When he designed this biosphere, he had already designed an artificial rainfall device inside.
On the glass dome of this biosphere, there are many huge sprinklers. These huge sprinklers are connected by a long soft hose. And these soft water pipes all lead into the ring sea around the island. Some submersible pumps are installed in the shallow waters around this ring sea. These submersible pumps can provide a continuous source of water for the sprinklers above the glass dome.
When all the sprinkler facilities above the glass dome began to spray water. On the entire glass dome, it will feel like rain. There is a lot of "rain" falling from the glass dome.
Now Cheng Yu turned on the artificial rainfall device. Then, I saw a lot of rain falling from the sky and landing on this small island.
The island, which had dried up, seemed to be restored to life in an instant. The big trees above were originally rolled with leaves. After receiving the rain from the artificial rainfall, the curled leaves quickly unfolded. Let the whole island quickly come back to life.
In fact, the artificial rainfall device designed by Zhao Zhongyao is still a high-tech thing. It is by no means as simple as a submersible pump with water pipes and nozzles. Because in the huge sprinklers above the glass dome, some desalination elements are designed to directly desalinate seawater into fresh water.
After all, all animals and plants on the earth drink fresh water. If you drink sea water directly with him, he obviously can't adapt. You know, the rain that falls from the sky in nature is fresh water. This is because they are all formed by evaporating from the sea into the air. Since it is formed by the evaporation of seawater, it is of course freshwater.
Of course Zhao Zhongyao knew these common senses. He also had to take this into consideration when designing this artificial rainfall device.
Now when Cheng Yu turned on the artificial rainfall equipment. Artificial rainfall has begun on the entire island. Those big trees and grasses that were plagued by drought are now quickly restored to life.
However, this does not mean that they have regained their vitality now and can put those little animals in. After all, this will take a while, and then observe and test the air composition inside.
After Cheng Yu turned on the artificial rainfall equipment, he came to Zhao Zhongyao again. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, ‘Mr. Zhao, do we have to raise small animals in it today? ’
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, ‘haha, don’t you worry about it! These big trees have just started to drink water, they have not fully recovered yet! They must wait for them to fully recover before they can accept these little animals. ’
Zhao Zhongyao knew that these big trees and small grasses had previously rolled up their leaves due to a relatively long drought. Although they are already drinking water now. But they have not fully recovered. It is necessary to wait for them to fully regain their vitality before releasing small animals into it.
'OK then! Forget it today. Let's go to this small island tomorrow to stock animals! After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Cheng Yu felt very reasonable. So he said so again.
