Chapter 478: A Flavorful Ecological Cycle

The lunar base was officially launched, and the high-energy directional magnetic field equipment has begun to shield high-energy particles from the universe.

However, the radiation level in the lunar base is still at a high level.

Whether it's people or equipment, they're just in a much better state than they used to be. If you want to reach the state of the earth, you still can't do it.

But when you go to the moon, you won't get radiation sickness in this environment. The service life of the equipment is also greatly extended.

Li Hao got up and said to Zhou Yunsheng: "You stay in the company, I'll go to the biological laboratory of the scientific research building to have a look."

Now that the moon base is far from the astronauts, food is indispensable.

It is necessary to use the lunar base to achieve semi-replenishment, and also produce certain materials by itself.

It's all up to the earth to supply supplies, which is a waste of capacity. The cost is also too high. ”

"Okay, you go about your business first. I would also like to regulate the cooperation between the companies within the group. Zhou Yunsheng nodded in agreement.

Li Hao left the company, and he quickly came to the scientific research building by car.

Go straight to the biological laboratory led by Director Du Xianyu.

Biological laboratories have been synthesizing genes to create completely different organisms. Explore the specific secrets of biocipitals.

They use gene expression selection enzymes, which can easily select the content of a specific gene chain to express. Began to study the effects of biological genetic sequencing on organisms.

There have been many creatures with excellent performance in some way in this technology, but most of them are very weak and have no application value. Or it has too much impact on the ecosystem and is discarded.

Biological laboratories now only manufacture extremely valuable products like fortified fluids.

However, the accumulation of technology in the biological laboratory has not stopped, and it definitely surpasses other scientific research teams in this field.

When the development of the moon was officially determined, Li Hao gave Du Xianyu an order.

Let them set up a project to develop creatures that can survive in the universe.

Of course, it is not directly exposed to a vacuum, and no living thing can survive in this extreme environment.

Rather, it survives in an environment with relatively high cosmic radiation values.

Even now the Moon has a high-energy directional magnetic field that shields most of the cosmic radiation.

However, the radiation value on the moon is still many times higher than the normal environment of the earth.

Director Du Xianyu has made unremitting efforts for a long time. Several creatures have been developed that can survive in the universe for a long time.

Li Hao walked to Director Du Xianyu's office and found that Director Du was staring at several models of double helix structures in front of him.

After Du Xianyu saw Li Hao come in, he looked up at Li Hao.

Du Xianyu's eyes blinked, and he said in surprise: "Mr. Li, the moon base has just been put into use. If you don't deal with the situation at the base, why did you come to our biological lab. ”

Li Hao sat opposite Du Xianyu, and he said with emotion: "I came here because of the moon base.

It is impossible for a lunar base to be inhabited only by intelligent robots. Its ultimate goal is for us humans to survive there for a long time.

The basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation of human beings are the most important.

Whether the lunar base is self-sufficient in the field of food. will limit the size of our lunar base.

Let me ask you what the level of material self-sufficiency of the lunar base is. ”

"Now we are building a microbiosphere on the moon, including the water and atmospheric cycles.

It can support a thousand people to stay on the moon base for a long time, and only needs a small amount of resources from the outside world. Du Xianyu said confidently.

When Li Hao heard the exact news, he asked Du Xianyu in surprise: "You have now completed the atmospheric circulation and water circulation of the lunar base.

How is it possible to also set up a simple biosphere?

For example, air, it goes if it leaks outside. Outside is a vacuum environment, which is quickly diluted. ”

He originally just wanted to see the lunar grains and vegetables researched by Director Du Xianyu today, as well as the meat specially for the moon.

I didn't expect to hear such gratifying news.

You know, the company's biggest concern now is to transport oxygen and water to the moon.

This very important resource on the moon is within reach of people on Earth.

Without them, no one can survive on the moon.

Oxygen and water don't look much, but just rise to the scale. Their consumption is terrifying.

These two important and cheap resources will be the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of lunar bases in the future.

Unexpectedly, Director Du Xianyu solved this problem quietly.

But Li Hao was very puzzled in his heart, he knew that it was very difficult to solve this problem on the moon.

When Du Xianyu heard Li Hao's inquiry, he clicked on a virtual light curtain with his hand.

It shows how the micro-ecosystem designed by the biolab works.

At the same time, he introduced on the side: "Mr. Li, we are using recycling to deal with the consumption of air and water. It also reinforces with plant factories.

The total amount of water on our planet has remained unchanged, but it has supported so many animals on the planet since ancient times.

It is because the elements are conserved, and the elements that make up oxygen and water do not change in the overall space of the earth.

We can absorb and utilize waste water through micro-ecosystems.

Our micro-ecosystem is basically closed. It will only exist on a small scale. ”

Li Hao's eyes were fixed on the introduction on the virtual light screen.

He quickly figured out how the microecosystem that Director Du Xianyu said worked.

Microecosystems first use bacteria to break down waste products produced by human activities.

For example, it decomposes human and animal excrement. Carbon dioxide and water and biomass fertilizers are produced.

Put these mixtures into a special plant factory.

There are two specially treated plants designed by the biological laboratory. They are suckers and large-leaved flowers.

The melon absorbs most of the water in the mixture and stores it in its own fruit. Biomass fertilizer also promotes its growth.

Large-leaved flowers can quickly absorb a certain amount of water and a large amount of carbon dioxide.

When it secretes a large amount of honey-like sugars in the stamens, it also releases a large amount of oxygen.

By working together, these two plants form a micro-ecosystem that can handle most of the waste.

Let them be turned into water, oxygen and sugar, which can be reused by humans.

One ton of water, after being treated by the microecosystem, is also worth about 10 kilograms.

Most of this lost water is stored in humans and animals.

On a more ambitious scale, there is little to no loss of water.

Li Hao finished reading the introduction of the virtual light curtain to the micro-ecosystem.

He was very satisfied, but said with some confusion: "Your method of handling it is very good, but how is this process like growing plants in manure?" Get their fruits.

The process of processing this micro-biosphere is full of flavor.

But this treatment is much better than directly filtering it with a filter membrane.

That way of dealing with it is more difficult to accept. ”
