The first year of the galaxy, September 27.

Li Qingye arrives at the loyal Atron Oasis City.

Suchesi, who was in charge of the secret project, took Li Qingye to the design studio and introduced him to the designers and engineers present.

Li Qingye also encouraged them.

"Chairman, this is the design drawing of the Pangu Project." Suchesi said as she manipulated the holographic projection equipment to project the design model.

The average altitude in the northern part of the Darfur Plateau is about 600~700 meters.

The underground cavity area with a diameter of 100 kilometers requires the height of the internal cavity to be 500 meters, plus various structural layers, protective layers, barrier layers, etc., and the overall thickness should be about 600 meters.

"In order to ensure that the upper layer is covered by more than 200 meters of stratum, we plan to dig downwards, probably minus 150 meters above sea level, as the foundation of this base."

Li Qingye listened as he looked through the details of the various systems designed by Suchesi's team.

This project is called the "Pangu Project".

As the name suggests, the reason why Li Qingye promoted this project is to create an independent ecosystem, and then put in various genetically recombinant organisms for ecological simulation tests.

Why build such a huge base dedicated to testing genetically recombinant organisms?

Couldn't ordinary biological labs test it?

A: No, you can't.

Ordinary biological laboratories are limited by space and safety, and there is no way to comprehensively test the various conditions of genetically modified organisms in the natural environment.

However, Li Qingye could not casually put genetically recombinant organisms into the natural environment.

There was a certain risk in the plastic fungus before, but Li Qingye specially took action and inserted various restriction genes, so that it did not really evolve into a devastating disaster.

Therefore, Li Qingye is now in urgent need of a large, independent biosphere laboratory for testing various genetically recombinant organisms.

He wants to use environmental pressures and a relatively complete ecosystem to see if the various organisms that have been genetically recombined can break through the limitations of genes and evolve unique new life forms.

This is the origin of the Pangu Project.

Li Qingye is advancing towards the realm of the Creator.

The evolution of human beings is too slow, and the body has become the biggest restriction for human beings to go to the stars.

Some time ago, in the quasi-gravity experiment of the Homo sapiens space station, although the quasi-gravity equivalent to 1g was successfully created, the gradient force difference caused by centrifugal force still made astronauts uncomfortable.

In order to solve the centrifugal force gradient difference, the next step of the Homo sapiens space station is to increase the radius of the space station from 200 meters to 500 meters and even 1000 meters to test the degree of influence of the centrifugal force gradient.

It's all because human health is so poor.

The idea of not wanting to strengthen the human body and opening up living space for human civilization to outer space is just a beautiful and fragile soap bubble.

To step out of the comfort zone of the home planet and into a harsher starry sky, humanity needs a stronger and more well-rounded body.

What's more, the Pangu Project is not only so that human beings can adapt to outer space, a deeper purpose, in fact, it also contains Li Qingye's selfishness - that is, to further extend the length of life.

If he could, he would also like to see the vast starry sky beyond the solar system.

The Pangu Project carries a lot of Li Qingye's ideas and expectations.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to build such a huge man-made ecosystem, but planned to go all out to promote it.

He looked at the part of the security system, Li Qingye attached great importance to the security system of this base, whether it was external defense or internal defense, there was no room for sloppiness.

Because in the future, the Pangu Project will invest a large number of genetically recombinant organisms into this artificial ecosystem, and there will certainly be many extremely dangerous organisms.

If the security system is not in place, if the organisms in it leak out, it will be a huge ecological disaster.

That's why the Pangu project was built in the northern part of the Darfur Plateau.

Because the northern part of the Darfur Plateau is surrounded by deserts and the Gobi Desert.

In this kind of place, Li Qingye dared to let people add hydrogen bombs to it, as the last self-detonation device, once the entire base is out of control, the self-detonation device can completely purify the entire base.

To this end, Li Qingye also specially asked the nuclear plant to produce a batch of hydrogen bombs with a yield of 1,000 tons, which will be densely arranged in all directions of the Pangu project, completely locking in the possibility of leaking biological experiments inside.

After all, he is for scientific research, not for self-destruction.

Li Qingye raised his head: "The security measures are not enough, for example, those pipelines connecting the Pangu Realm, there are huge safety risks, it is best to keep only one external channel of the Pangu Realm, and the other channels are canceled first." ”

"Mr. Chairman, if you do this, it will cause problems in the internal water circulation and heat circulation." Safety engineering designer Kaft looked a little embarrassed.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Then add an internal water circulation auxiliary system, so that the thermal circulation can be done in a contactless way." ”

seemed to sense the unswerving in Li Qingye's words, and Kaft could only nod stubbornly: "Okay!" I will adjust the design as soon as possible. ”

"In addition, the only passage has to be specially designed to ensure that it is foolproof."

After more than half an hour of communication, Li Qingye and a group of designers and engineers revised the details several times before they determined a preliminary plan.

Including the internal plan of Pangea, which had not yet been determined, the first draft was also completed.

Pangea will be divided into five regions, with Buzhou Mountain in the middle, Canghai in the east, Qingqiu in the west, rainforest in the south, and wasteland in the north.

These five regions represent five relatively independent small ecospheres, and at the same time will affect each other.

In this area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers, a large number of genetically modified organisms will be invested in the future, which will compete with existing protists.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

He was very much looking forward to the birth of some new creatures in the Pangea Realm.

The real meaning of this kind of experiment that seems to be opening a blind box lies in the infinite possibilities of life.

Human genetic technology has made it possible to precisely customize some organisms, but at this stage there is still no way to "make human genes evolve".

Whether it is genetically modified technology, gene editing technology, or genetic recombination technology, it is true that they are all using genes that are already in nature.

True evolution is not a patchwork of genes, but the natural mutation of genes according to environmental pressures.

However, natural mutation is too difficult, but in the process of mutation, 90% of mutations are harmful.

This is the meaning of the existence of the Pangu Project.

In this process, Li Qingye can force some genetically recombinant organisms to mutate wildly through various environmental pressures, as well as other organisms in the ecosystem.

As long as the number of mutations is large enough, there will always be some valuable new genes.

Perhaps humanity's march to the stars, or the hope of immortality, is hidden in those base pairs.

Li Qingye even planned to use the building wood factor that had never been used to create some relatively powerful genetically recombinant organisms and put them into the Pangu realm.

He believed that life has infinite possibilities, and the key to human evolution is definitely not to be able to achieve earth-shaking changes through known genes.

Now he's going to find the key.
