Chapter 512: A Fruit Tree That Slows Aging
Lan Tianxin nodded, this Blue Sky Heart can still know a little. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The ecosphere, to put it bluntly, is an oxygen-producing area.
Ordinary oxygen is made from pure oxygen tanks, but how much oxygen is used up is gone.
The ecosphere, on the other hand, is a completely self-circulating oxygen zone, which can produce oxygen in its own circulation.
Eighty percent of the Earth's oxygen is released by plants.
Zhulan spent a lot of money and manpower for three years to find plant species that could survive in the harsh environment of space and release a lot of oxygen.
In fact, a few tens of meters long ecosphere is enough for tens of thousands of people to oxygen, but that takes time.
Plants produce oxygen, 30 percent is absorbed, and the remaining 70 percent is circulated in the air, and the longer it takes, the more oxygen there is in the air.
On Earth, millions of years ago, the earth had five or even ten times more oxygen than it is now, and at that time, the earth's green coverage was more than 80 percent, and now, it is only a little more than 20 percent.
A fourfold reduction in forest cover leads to an exponential reduction in the Earth's oxygen.
Although the lunar base is huge, the existence of four ecospheres is completely sufficient for the use of the lunar base.
Only one needs to be built, but Zhulan is building four, in order to prepare for the future moon city.
Plants produce oxygen to the cycle, which takes time.
And now build four biospheres, and by the time the moon city is built, the missing oxygen can be transported from here.
After all, the Moon is 380,000 kilometers away from Earth.
A little more oxygen doesn't hurt at all.
If it weren't for the fear that building the base too big would affect others, Zhulan would also want to build ten biospheres and create a super lunar forest area of thirty kilometers and ten kilometers wide!
However, the huge forest needs too much light to build such a huge forest area with its current capabilities.
Plants need sunlight, and the bigger they are, the more sunlight they need.
The moon is not protected by an atmosphere like the Earth, which is protected from the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
If you want to use the sun to give plants light, you need a conversion system to isolate the sun's ultraviolet rays from various cosmic rays.
However, in the project of the Lunar City Ring, there is a mega city that will plan a forest area tens of kilometers long, which will be a miracle, but at the current pace, it will take at least five years to start construction.
"It seems to consume a lot of oxygen, and I feel purer than on Earth!" Lan Tianxin took a deep breath, and a smell of the forest came to his face.
"This is natural!" Speaking of this, Zhu Lan is very proud.
"These plants are adapted to grow in harsh environments, and at the same time, it is 2.3 times the amount of oxygen released by other plants, coupled with the genetic optimization of the plant itself, so that its oxygen release has reached six times that of ordinary plants, and the environmental adaptability is more strong, more than 50 kinds of plants here, at least only one hour of light per day is enough, and the water demand is not very much, it is very suitable for plants growing in harsh environments!"
Lan Tianxin nodded, "I've seen this before, but I didn't expect them to spend three years to produce such good results!" ”
"Come, I'll show you something good!"
Zhu Lan took Lan Tianxin's hand, walked into the path between the forests, and walked inside.
Lan Tianxin blushed, didn't say anything, and followed Zhu Lan, but Zhu Lan didn't find anything about this.
Walk through a kilometer of forest and come to a place
This is already the innermost part of the ecosystem, and then through it, it is the next area.
"What is this?" Looking at the fruit tree in front of him, Lan Tianxin was stunned.
In a row, ten fruit trees were planted here, and what shocked Lan Tianxin was that each of these fruit trees was huge, and the variety of fruit trees, Lan Tianxin, no, it should be said that every Chinese person would be familiar with it when they saw it.
Ginseng fruit tree!
More than ten meters high, more than seven meters tall ginseng fruit.
In order to transport these fruit trees, but it took a lot of transportation to Zhulan, but fortunately, the Kongo's hangar was large enough, and it was originally considered to be a hangar for Gundam, and the height reached twenty-five meters, and in some places it even reached thirty meters high, and the Kongo could transport these huge towering trees.
"I said Zhulan, are you sure it wasn't made from molds?"
Zhu Lan smiled and shook his head, "No, this is completely true, but this is an accidental product, and you also know that when the ecosystem was being built, I set up a biological gene laboratory." ”
Lan Tianxin nodded, "I know this, is this the product of the experiment?" ”
Zhu Lan looked up at the ten ginseng fruit trees and nodded, "It can be said that these ten ginseng fruit trees are a strange fruit tree that we found in the depths of the Amazon jungle, because the fruit it grows will release some neurotoxins, which were pulled back by us, and after research, genetic technology was used to dissolve the neurotoxins of this fruit tree, and some mutations occurred, and a researcher was curious that the appearance of the fruit was modified in the plant gene chain itself, and it became the ginseng fruit we see now." ”
"You praise it so much, this fruit must have a special effect, right?"
"That's right, the reason why the researcher modified the genetic growth of the fruit to the appearance of the ginseng fruit is because the fruit that removes the toxin has an effect, accelerates the body's metabolism, and enriches the ability of human gene activity, in short, the ingredients contained in this fruit can make people alleviate the aging of the body, so there is no difference from the mythical ginseng fruit, but the mythical one is too noble, and this ginseng fruit can only relieve a few years!"
"Can't be crafted?" Blue Sky Heart is strange, with the current blue technology, it can't be synthesized? Or is it extraction?
Zhu Lan shook his head helplessly, "Since the discovery, this research has been going on, and now it has been moved here, the next area is the special research center for the study of ginseng fruit, this is the priority scientific research project, this fruit tree according to our detection, at least the earth has existed since ancient times, we are wondering, is it because of the problem of oxygen on the earth, all these fruit trees are transferred to the moon base, because in the future, the oxygen here is more concentrated than the earth, I believe it can be restored to its original state!" ”
"You mean to say that this ginseng fruit is not the original yet?"
"After millions of years of change, many of them have degraded, and what we need is to bring them back to their roots."
"This is indeed good news, and if it can be successfully applied, it will be one step closer to your goal!"
Zhu Lan smiled and nodded, "Let's go!" ”
Leaving the ecosystem, Zhu Lan returned to the King Kong and found that Cheng Xue and the others had already changed into spacesuits, and several all-earth vehicles had driven to the open space.
"What are you?"
"Zhulan, you're back, we're going to go to the moon to have a look, are you going?"
Zhu Lan shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, I still have something to do, you can play by yourself!" Huang Yunyin, be optimistic about them! ”
"Understand the boss!"
Zhu Lan is not easy to break their interest, anyway, there is no danger on the moon, and there will be no problem with the protection of the whole earth vehicle, the only danger on the moon at present may be a meteorite from the universe, although the defense system has not yet been installed, but the war mecha has been on standby over the base twenty-four hours a day, and any meteorite that approaches will be destroyed.
A squad has twenty war mechs, and the four mechs are generally on duty for four to six hours.
It's boring, but the small number of them will be maintained for the time being.
Now that the second batch has arrived, there will be less time on duty.
And there are rulers here, even if you encounter a large meteorite, there will be no problems.
Without protecting the meteorite threat, the construction of the base is very difficult!
Before the construction of the base, the Constellation has cleaned up all the meteorites over the base up to 50,000 kilometers to ensure that no meteorites will affect the construction of the lunar base, and release quantum satellites to monitor all meteorite activities within 100,000 kilometers on the far side of the moon at all times.
Every time it is transported to the Moon, the Constellation and King Kong will dispose of large threat targets before returning to Earth.
"You go relax too!" Zhu Lan said to Lan Tianxin with a smile.
Lan Tian thought for a moment and nodded.
Zhu Lan watched a few people leave, turned around and walked into the control center.
King Kong, Constellation, Luoyan, Luo Shuang, Honghou and Zhenhai are already here.
Except for Zhenhai and Honghou, who are remote virtual deliveries, the other four people are here.
"Alright, now closed!"
"Yes, it's already closed!"
The door of the control center closes, the virtual transformation, and a starry sky appears.
"Is it serious?"
The red queen didn't speak, and a starry sky changed rapidly" This is a picture captured six days ago, because the distance is too far, everything is not very clear, we can barely get a picture with the help of the American Harble telescope and our zoom. ”
Zhu Lan looked at the picture, the situation of the picture was on the rings of Saturn, on the rings of Saturn, a black hole, no, it should be a wormhole expanding.
Saying that it is not a black hole, because it does not have a huge suction, only pulls a small part of meteorites and other things, all, this is a wormhole "At present, it is only a wormhole with a diameter of four kilometers, and we can't know how big it is, after all, we are too far away from there!" (To be continued.) )
