In addition, how many species exist in a closed ecology is suitable for human survival, which is also a good scientific topic.

Scientists later found that although there were only eight people, the species of animals and plants put into "Biosphere 2" were too few, and the "ecological chain" they imagined was not established.

Of course, in addition to pure scientific research, there are also human sociological studies and even psychological studies that have been inspired.

For example, in various harsh environments, because of disagreements, even the eight scientific researchers were divided into two gangs of four, and there was almost no communication or exchange between the two gangs.

But on the other hand, among the two batches of scientific researchers who have entered the "Biosphere 2" successively, each has a man and a woman who formed a couple after they came out.

There are even media ridicules. In fact, for scientific experiments, this is more suitable for reality shows and more suitable for TV programs.

After the "Biosphere 2" was no longer experimented, it began to be opened to tourists as a tourist attraction.

It's just that the investors at the time didn't want to see such a result, so in 1996, he handed over the huge laboratory to Columbia University and added an additional investment of 40 million US dollars.

Then in 1998, a paper on the impact of "Biosphere 2" on the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the artificial ocean was published in the journal "Science".

Later, people began to realize that the original "Biosphere 2" can really make its own contribution in the field of studying the interaction between humans and the earth's environment.

So Columbia University at that time was very ambitious, hoping to build "Biosphere 2" into a base for earth ecological experiments, scientific research, and exchanges, and additionally invested tens of millions of dollars.

However, for some unknown reason, in 2011, the University of Arizona took over the "Biosphere 2" from Columbia University.

It's just that no matter how it changes, the investor of that year has never changed his original intention, and has never interrupted funding. Just to maintain the power supply of "Biosphere 2" needs to spend 1 million US dollars every year, not including other cost of.

Today, "Biosphere 2" is still open to tourists, but at the same time, several scientific research projects have been launched on the study of the earth's ecology, as well as the research on the base's life support system after human colonization of aliens.

When Ye Fan was very young,

Just saw a report on "Biosphere 2" in a "Junior Science Illustrated".

At that time, the feeling to Ye Fan was two words: shock.

Ye Fan instantly felt that human beings can really be so great.

It was only after he grew up that Ye Fan realized that the "Biosphere 2", which had a great impact on his youth, actually failed in the end.

But then Ye Fan thought about it carefully, can this experiment really be described as "failure"?

Building Biosphere 2 and starting experiments is itself an attempt to demonstrate whether humans can survive in a closed ecosystem.

As long as you survive, you can naturally prove a lot of things. If you don't survive, can't you prove other things?

For example, the new reasons that affect the proportion of various components of the atmosphere, or the impact of the greenhouse effect on the ocean, and even the social mode of people in extreme environments, aren't these all obtained through the exploration of "Biosphere 2 Good"?

"Biosphere 2" has proved with objective facts that the earth has nurtured life through billions of years of Jinhua, and has become a suitable planet for human beings to live in. There are thousands of internal connections, not a simple ecosystem. can be simulated etc.

And this just shows that the "Biosphere 2" experiment can be simply classified as a failure, because it makes people realize the uniqueness and preciousness of the earth's home.

At the same time, human beings also know the truth of finding a new home, which is not only long, but also full of ups and downs.

In the future, human beings will colonize the solar system, go out of the solar system, and face the sea of ​​stars. Such experiments must be done, and there will be countless setbacks and sacrifices in this arduous and difficult process.

What's more, there were only 13,000 square meters at that time, which is only 20 acres of land. Today, there are 10 acres of vegetable sheds.

However, this can also be explained from another level, that is to say, even if 20 acres of land are not well managed, how will we proceed when the colony is outside the globe in the future?

What's more, the larger the area is, the better. Considering that the purpose of biosphere construction is not to start a new life on earth, but to establish an ecology on other planets, considering the space delivery capability, any materials should not be too much.

Coupled with the research report on the atmosphere, it also inspired later human beings. Just the emission of 0.04% of carbon dioxide in such a large environmental system in the world will cause serious damage to the earth's environment.

Therefore, the final failure of "Biosphere 2" is a kind of inevitable, because it can't play at all.

In fact, many aspects of the life support system that Ye Fan exchanged from the system are also closely related to these, but it needs to consume a huge amount of electricity.

Among them, the core idea is to use electrolyzed water for nourishment, and to use the infinite energy of nuclear fusion to bring strong fluorescent lamps to simulate the solar environment and maintain the planting of plants.

The idea of ​​​​the life support system is not to create a complete biosphere, because that is too complicated and the cost is too high and it is very difficult to achieve.

The core idea is the efficient transformation of energy into various living materials, such as water cycle, oxygen cycle, etc., where electric energy is involved, as well as the cultivation of high-efficiency crops with artificial light sources.

As for the future colonial base, Ye Fan also had preliminary plans.

After all, there is a precedent for failure, so Ye Fan will not use the method of building a biosphere to maintain, but use the energy of nuclear fusion as the main energy to maintain the continuity of survival materials.

However, Ye Fan is not reconciled, because the home under the cold steel plate is not a real home, only the soil, the sky and the ecological environment can be a real home.

The "Biosphere Project" Ye Fan had to do, not only according to the ideas of the predecessors, but to use the life support system he had exchanged, as well as his huge capital reserves and technological level, to create a brand new ecosystem.

This is not only to verify the feasibility of the artificial biosphere, but also to colonize the survivability of outer space after Datang Technology goes out of the earth.

"Mr. Ye, I'm done." After the young man finished speaking, he bowed and looked at Ye Fan with anxiety.

"Do you have a team?"

"Yes, our dream is to verify whether it is feasible to build a biosphere in an outer space environment, but we have no financial support, so we also came here to see if we can get investors."

"Okay, bring your team tomorrow, come to Datang Technology to see me, give me a complete project plan of yours, if it passes the review,

You don't have to think too much about funding. Datang Technology will contract your research expenses. Eight billion should be enough. "

Ye Fan touched his chin and pondered for a while, then said.

What is a lot of money, where is a lot of money, it's not an exaggeration to make a lot of money!
