Snow.

Extremely thick snow.

The vault door at the end of the corridor was covered with frost, and Bi Fang reached out to touch the wall, feeling the snowflakes that had crystallized, and the astonishing chill passed down his fingertips to his palm, as if to freeze the blood.

When Bi Fang took his hand away, the fingertips and the frost had frozen, and there were still broken ice crystals on it, a layer of white cold frost.

The temperature here is even lower than the outside world.

And behind this big iron gate covered with frost is the real seed warehouse.

A series of levels let everyone see what is the real layer of defense.

The iron door opened, and the cold frost visible to the naked eye floated out, and the cold wind poured into the tunnel, making Bi Fang squint, and after a while, the light and shadow were clear, and he could see the real scene inside Noah's Ark.

Big.

Very big.

It's like a giant warehouse.

A large conference room-sized room is filled with supermarket-like shelves, each containing boxes containing seed samples from various countries.

Bi Fang walked in rows, from Europe to Asia, from Norway to China, and every seed bag was full of information.

"The seeds of each country are divided into several large boxes. Seed samples from various countries are transported to the island by air, some in wooden boxes and some in cardboard boxes, and the samples are tested by X-ray after arrival and will not be opened. ”

Barrett took Bi Fang to intersperse between the "shelves" and introduced them one by one.

"Most of the samples were packaged in tin foil bags, and each bag contained 200-300 seeds."

"The seed bank keeps backup samples, and each institution has physical samples in the local area, and these institutions are also seed banks built by various countries, but due to natural and man-made disasters, they need to be backed up in the doomsday seed bank."

[Did the seeds in this work?] 】

[You are stupid, this is the Doomsday Seed Bank, when did you encounter the end of the world? 】

Some viewers raised questions, but some immediately objected.

Bi Fang relayed the question to Barrett, but unexpectedly received a positive answer from Barrett.

These seeds have been used once since they were built.

The audience was silent for a while.

[Hey, can't you hide the things of 99]

[Stop broadcasting, stop broadcasting! ]

Do you want to be a sinner for humanity? 】

[Forgot, memetic contamination is about to appear]

[Shut up, you signed a confidentiality agreement, don't say it again!] 】

"The construction of this doomsday library only began in 05, the construction was completed and put into use in 08, and it was not used at all in 99." Bi Fang is a serious way.

Barrett listened a little confused, he looked at the barrage, there were both Chinese and English on it, but even if it was English, he didn't know the words together, what happened in 99?

I thought I was only nine years old at the time?

"What are you talking about?"

"A joke." Bi Fang was quite embarrassed.

"Okay." Barrett shrugged, unconcerned, and continued, "At that time, it was the remnants of the civil war that were still used. ”

"The civil war in September '15 killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced some 11 million people to become refugees, and in the midst of the fighting, the main seed bank in Aleppo in the eastern region of the central region was damaged and could not be used anymore."

"This war forced Yu Youliwei to take seeds out of the 'Doomsday Seed Bank' for the first time. Their researchers approached us to take out nearly 130 of the 325 boxes of 116,000 crop seed 'backups' that had been deposited here to plant seeds and reshape agriculture. ”

"That was the first time since the World Seed Bank was built, and so far the only time."

The sailors were surprised, it was actually Yu Youli pressure?

"This seed bank has the seeds seen and harvested in the past 2,000 years of human agricultural civilization development, which is the result and crystallization of the hard work of farmers in the past thousands of years, and they are linked to our past and future agricultural development."

Yu Youli's situation made everyone realize that it was necessary to build a seed bank.

"Each warehouse can store 1.5 million samples. At present, only one library is open for use, and the rest are still closed. ”

"In addition to grain, there are many seed backups of rare plants,"

"Our aim is to provide a safety net to prevent the accidental loss of species diversity in the event of a major global or regional event."

"It functions like a safe deposit box in a bank, allowing specialized organizations or governments to seed for 'deposits', and only they have access."

"So theoretically, this place is not allowed to be visited by any tourists, and there is only one journalist in history who has ever visited this place, and Mr. Bi Fang can be said to be the second."

Barrett glanced up at the drone in mid-air and smiled.

[Boss Fang's face is big! ] 】

[Envy, when will I be able to have this treatment......]

[You have to have a recognized, meaningful, and widely circulated title of the world's number one, and then have a considerable political identity, and at the same time have a symbolic meaning in some way, and have made many groundbreaking moves that shocked the world, and you should be fine. 】

[I'm Nima.

。 】

[Slowly put a question mark]

[What is Fang Shen's political identity? 】

[The old party is a school official]

With the passage of time, although Bi Fang did not deliberately use it as a gimmick, his identity in this regard has long been circulated.

In order to facilitate the security check, I gradually knew about boarding, and everyone knew that there was such a thing.

[I almost forgot, the old party is still a school official.......]

[Your sister, look at other people's twenty-five years old, and then look at mine, don't say anything, and then sleep for a while, there is everything in your dreams]

The whole warehouse was huge and cold.

It's nearly ten degrees lower than outside.

Various sensors and cameras are also installed in the seed bank, which can be monitored remotely and in real time.

Bi Fang saw with his own eyes that a camera had been moving closely behind them.

"In fact, there are more than 1,700 gene banks in the world, but many of them have security risks. For example, the seed depots of Aqiu Khan and Yin Laton have been completely destroyed, and the rate ice has been destroyed by natural disasters such as typhoons. ”

"Natural and man-made disasters can cause the destruction of rare collections, which is similar to the extinction of dinosaurs. It was the recognition of the fragility of the world's gene banks everywhere that led to the idea of creating a global seed bank in Svalbard. ”

Barrett spoke with confidence.

Although the temperature in the room itself is not high, the "Doomsday Seed Bank" still has a cooling device to ensure that the temperature of the seed bank is kept at minus 18 degrees Celsius, so that the seeds can be stored for a long time, theoretically for thousands of years.

"In terms of functional design, the seed bank can withstand most natural and man-made disasters, including the impact of asteroid impact or nuclear war."

"At the same time, its remote location also adds a lot of points to its safety, this is the closest archipelago to the Arctic, there is no more inhospitable and remote place than here."

Barrett said as he walked, opening the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room.
