Chapter 171: Billion Misunderstandings

"Professor, this is a simulated ocean area."

"With the help of wave-making systems, we can simulate wave and tidal phenomena in real time."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked in the direction of Shen Shenwen's finger.

A medium-sized pool.

This is called "the ocean".

He knelt down and took a closer look: "The water quality looks good."

Shen Shenwen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Professor, this is the result of the second experiment."

"Huh?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean? The first experiment failed?"

"Hey." Shen Shenwen sighed softly, "During the first experiment, we also encountered the same situation as the United States."

"Simulating the flooding of ocean red tides and introducing massive death of organisms..."

"It wasn't until Zero took over the main control system that the situation improved."

Lu Yongchang did not speak, but turned his questioning eyes to Professor Shen Wen.

"Professor Lu, although Biosphere 2 has achieved initial success, I have to pour some cold water on you." Shen Shenwen was silent for a moment and then said again, "With the current human technology, we can create a biosphere on a starship. A self-circulating biosphere is basically impossible to achieve."

Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly.

how so?!

According to the system, artificial biosphere technology is obviously a prerequisite for starship manufacturing!

Is there incorrect information in the system?!

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang's face instantly turned ugly.

"Professor Shen, please explain in detail."

Shen Shenwen sighed softly: "With Zero's help, we have conducted countless simulations."

"Ultimately, we found a mix that was just about balanced."

"Even so, this biosphere still needs to be monitored in real time and fine-tuned in various ways."

"For example, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the biosphere is too high, it is necessary to increase the light intensity in the tropical rainforest area a little..."

"The current small biosphere is like a chaotic system. You never know what unexpected situation will occur in the next second."

"Only artificial intelligence like Zero can keep up with its speed of change and make appropriate adjustments to it."

"Besides... the crops produced by this biosphere are basically only enough for a few of our scientific researchers. Once the number of crops is increased, other problems will inevitably arise."

"Therefore, it is completely unrealistic for us to achieve a truly self-sufficient biosphere within a starship of a few hundred meters or several kilometers in size."

Shen Shenwen said a lot at once.

Lu Yongchang also understood the meaning of Shen Siwen.

only……

"Ahem, Professor Shen, I think you have a little misunderstanding of what I mean."

Lu Yongchang coughed slightly and said with some embarrassment: "It's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly at the beginning."

"Our current needs are not the kind of ecological starship that is completely self-sufficient."

"The so-called biosphere technology is just to better control the environment inside the starship. Do you understand what I mean?"

Looking at Shen Siwen's confused eyes, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and continued to explain.

"Let's use an analogy."

"Although most humans are currently sent into hibernation cabins."

"But on interstellar voyages, someone always needs to be awake."

"In addition to the necessary fleet status monitoring, there are also some basic research that cannot be interrupted."

"When the time comes, we will build some starships that can accommodate tens of thousands of people living at the same time."

"The technology we need to control the internal environment of this kind of survival starship for a long time is the technology we need."

"So, do you understand?"

Shen Shenwen suddenly realized!

The corners of his eyes twitched violently.

Who knows how much effort he spent during this period to create a perfect biosphere!

If nothing else, at least half of his hair has fallen out.

"If this is all you ask for, Professor Lu, then the biosphere project can be declared a success." Shen Shenwen said sadly, "If we only control the living environment in the starship, as long as we have certain equipment, for Zero now , not worth mentioning.”

After all, even a chaotic system becomes simpler after removing thousands of different creatures.

"Ahem!" Lu Yongchang scratched his head in embarrassment again, and he also realized that what he did was not honest.

This is equivalent to asking the chef to make a full Man-Han banquet when he only wants to eat a mouthful of white rice.



After viewing the research results of Si Shenwen and his team, Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly.

"By the way, if this ecosystem is moved to Mars, can it be maintained?"

Shen Shenwen was stunned: "Of course you can, you just need to build various facilities in equal proportions and introduce the same proportion of biological populations."

“…What if we add another 500 million humans?”

Thoughts: "..."

Seeing the shit-eating expression on Shen Shenwen's face, Lu Yongchang shook his head with regret.

"What a pity..."

Shen Shenwen's expression changed slightly: "Professor, are you planning to take humans to immigrate to Mars?"

Lu Yongchang nodded: "The surface of the earth will soon be uninhabitable."

"The mineral resources originally reserved have been almost exhausted after completing the escape plan."

"Next, we need to obtain as many resources as possible before the solar helium flash occurs to cope with future interstellar voyages."

"Mars is a good springboard."

Shen Shenwen frowned, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.

After a long time, he said hesitantly: "Professor, if we just build a Mars city for human habitation, maybe our algorithm can do it."

"However, a large amount of resources may be required to maintain its operation."

When Lu Yongchang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Input a lot of resources?

This is nothing!

The technology for industrial synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates has been perfected. Even without crops and livestock, humans can survive under a complete industrial system.

It's just that the quality of life will be slightly reduced.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth.

He stretched out his hand and patted Shen Shenwen in front of him on the shoulder.

"Professor Shen, this task is left to you!"

Thoughts: "???"

As if fearing that Shen Shenwen had misunderstood the meaning, Lu Yongchang explained in detail again: "I need you to design a Mars city that can accommodate 500 million people. Resource consumption is not a problem. The key is to ensure the stability of the internal environment! "

"I will arrange other scientific researchers to assist you. Within three months, I will see the complete design plan."
