The core of the solar system is the sun. Once an abnormality occurs in the sun, human beings will suffer heavy losses at least, and at worst, the human beings in the solar system will be wiped out.
Ecosystem No. 3 is one-quarter the size of the moon, and its size compared to the sun is like that of a basketball and sesame seeds.
Although there is a huge difference in size between the two, if Ecosphere No. 3 enters the sun and causes a chain reaction, it will definitely be a disaster for mankind.
Seeing what Zuo Dajun said, Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "This was taken into consideration when designing Ecosystem No. 3. For this reason, the size of Ecosystem No. 3 is controlled to be a quarter of the size of the moon. According to According to relevant research, Ecosystem No. 3 will not have much impact after it falls into the sun. As for a chain reaction, there is a possibility of it happening, but it will not be too big. Furthermore, if Ecosystem No. 3 is pushed into the sun, It’s a last resort, and you wouldn’t do this under normal circumstances.”
In just this half year, the research on the sun and solar system has far exceeded that of the past years combined.
According to the model built through research, it is known that if something the size of Ecosphere No. 3 falls into the sun, the impact will be no more than a pebble thrown into the water. It would be good if it can cause waves.
Of course, this does not mean that the No. 3 ecosphere falling into the sun will not bring about great changes in the sun, but the possibility of this is very low.
Even if it may be very small, pushing Ecosystem No. 3 into the sun is the last resort.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said, "That's right. This is related to the sun and the fate of our species. If we were so hasty, we humans would have been wiped out many times."
"Don't worry, others can think of what we can think of." Bao Qizheng said, "As you said, this is the sun, and no one will make fun of the sun."
As time passed, Su Zhe and others got closer and closer to the four ring devices.
At this moment, four beams of light came from a distance. Without exception, the four beams of light connected to the four ring-shaped devices.
Seeing this scene, several people were shocked at first, thinking that these beams were emitted by death rays. When they saw that there was no reaction at all when the four beams hit the ring device, everyone understood that this was a light pillar engineering facility. The emitted beam energizes four ring-shaped devices.
Zuo Dajun pointed to the four ring-shaped devices and said, "I'm scared to death. I thought the SS-defense system had malfunctioned and treated these as asteroids."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Control, if the rise is not good, there will be a problem. "
On the earth, the growth of crops depends on the weather, and whether they are good or not depends on the weather. However, the space farm is different. The environment is completely controlled, and you can have whatever weather you want.
Naturally, the growth of these crops has improved.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "This is the basic requirement of the space farm. If this is not possible, then there is no need to build a space farm. But having said that, the space farm still uses traditional methods to obtain food. I can I heard that a big breakthrough was made not long ago, and food can be produced directly using synthetic methods, so maybe within a few years, these space farms and space ranches will be eliminated."
The traditional way of obtaining food is to cultivate crops. The crops produce seeds under the influence of energy and materials, and these seeds are the food needed by human beings.
This production method requires a large space and the cycle is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, the staple food generally takes about one hundred days.
Using a synthetic approach, scale can be achieved directly.
It directly synthesizes inorganic substances into organic substances such as sugars, proteins, fats, and amino acids, and then processes and synthesizes them into necessary materials such as rice, flour, and sugar.
Regardless of the former or the latter, as long as there is energy and resources, there will be a steady stream of food output.
In contrast, the latter has more advantages.
After all, the latter can be synthesized in a factory, and its cycle is shorter than the former.
It's just that the former has a high energy utilization rate, while the latter requires far more energy than the former.
Of course, in the current situation, with the light pillar project, as long as the sun does not go out, there will be a steady stream of energy.
Relatively speaking, energy utilization does not matter.
Fan Xiaoming nodded with a smile and said: "I know about factory-made synthetic food. The first one was synthetic rice, and then wheat, corn, etc., to be honest, if the synthetic food can germinate, it will be nothing like the real thing. What's the difference? It's a pity that it's still a little bit worse. Of course, the ones synthesized now can be used to make food without any problem."
He had seen synthetic rice, wheat, and corn before, because Jiutian Research Center was one of the participating research parties.
Compared with real rice and wheat, it is difficult to distinguish between synthetic and real ones.
No matter in terms of appearance, taste, nutritional value, energy provided, etc., there is basically no difference.
If there is a difference, it is that the former is alive and the latter is inanimate.
To put it bluntly, when synthesizing organic substances such as sugars, proteins, and fats, you know that synthesizing rice, wheat, etc. based on them is not a problem.
The synthesis here starts from the most basic inorganic substances, such as water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and other inorganic substances.
Although the current synthesis technology is still a little bit inferior, when the synthetic rice can germinate, there will really be no difference.
When the time comes, it will be inevitable to replace the traditional way of obtaining food.
It’s not just plants that can be synthesized, animals or other types of food can also be synthesized.
"Regardless of energy utilization, it is possible to obtain food in this way, but it is still not mature enough. Moreover, no one is willing to eat such food once it is synthesized, not to mention these synthesis No one wants to eat even the food grown on space farms." Xu Zhengping said.
This is no nonsense.
For now, we basically only accept food produced in traditional ways on the earth. As for food synthesized in factories, or produced outside the earth, whether it is produced on space farms or on the moon, no one is willing to accept these.
In addition to being unacceptable to everyone, there is also the fact that the food produced in these ways is still being evaluated at this stage. Food produced in these ways must be confirmed to be harmless to humans before it can be developed externally.
With development, opening up will happen sooner or later.
「
Well, although I also know that the food produced is safe, I am not willing to eat it. I know it, but I just feel that it is unsafe. Zuo Dajun said, "To be honest, it is difficult for our generation to change such views, but the new generation will not have such a burden on their hearts, and they will naturally accept this."
Hearing what Zuo Dajun said, several people nodded.
Fan Xiaoming said: "I won't take the initiative to eat it. To be honest, I can accept food produced in a traditional way like space farms, but it is really difficult for me to accept the synthetic way, as if it is filtered out of raw materials. Drinking water, I know I can drink it, but I just can't accept it psychologically. The key is to know, if you don't know, it doesn't matter."
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "Yes, it is really difficult to accept it when you know it. In fact, it is just for a moment. If you accept it, then accept it. As for the food grown on the space farm in front of us, we have a small population now." , the output of the earth is completely enough for us to eat, but with the development and increase in population, the output of food on the earth is definitely not enough. Then we can only choose food produced by space farms or direct synthesis. .”
The earth is so big, and the food it produces must be limited.
It is foreseeable that the human population will only increase in the future.
Human beings will be scattered throughout the solar system and the universe.
The human population at that time must have been astronomical, and the source of food and food could not have come from the earth.
In other words, as development time goes by, whether it is the space farm method or the synthetic method, these will be accepted and become the mainstream method.
Zuo Dajun nodded and said: "That's for sure. Let's not talk about the outer solar system, let's talk about the solar system. It is really going to be fully developed. The human population is unknown how many times it is now. Even if the entire earth is planted with food, it will not be enough for these people. Food, but by then, the food produced on the earth will be a rare commodity. Hey! Does this mean that it will be a great honor to be able to settle down on the earth in the future? Maybe not even a star system will be able to compare with the one on the earth in the future. A suite."
After hearing Zuo Dajun's last words, several people looked at Zuo Dajun with strange eyes.
"Dajun, your thinking span is a bit big." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile, "But you are indeed right. After all, the earth is the cradle of our humanity. With the development of our species, the status of the earth will only get higher and higher. No, Speaking of a house on earth, even a house in the solar system is priceless, not to mention compared to a star system, it is much more valuable than a planet or something like that."
Bao Qi was looking at Zuo Dajun and said jokingly: "Dajun, you can set a family motto: never buy a house or land on the earth. If you really want to buy it, you will probably come here to travel when you return to the earth." , it still has a time limit, if you don’t want to leave, you will be evicted directly.”
"No way! This... is really possible." Zuo Dajun said, "The status of the earth is difficult to be replaced, at least for a long time. It is not only a matter of the earth and the solar system, but also of the virtual world. Cosmic issues...this...if you put it this way, if people are allowed to immigrate now, wouldn't it be a trap?"
Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "It's not a scam. You can tell by reading the relevant immigration regulations. Immigration does not require the sale of houses and land on the earth. Speaking of which, land on the earth is now more expensive than houses." It’s more valuable. My family has always been registered in the city and has no land. The current living environment in the city cannot be compared with that in the countryside. Now I am particularly envious of those in the countryside who have land, especially those with mountains. That is amazing. As for It’s extremely difficult to own land now, and it’s basically impossible.”
Su Zhe, Zuo Dajun, and Bao Qizheng smiled. They all had rural household registrations and had homesteads and land, while Fan Xiaoming and Xu Zhengping looked envious.
Zuo Dajun said with a smile on his face, "I haven't really looked at this carefully. Nowadays, homesteads and land are like carrots and pits. There is no way to do it. Is it possible to buy some houses in the city? , and immigration to the moon, Mars, etc. If I go and stay for a while, I will have real estate and land, which is beautiful to think about."
"I think it's quite beautiful." Fan Xiaoming smiled, "Who do you think would sell for money now?"
If you want a house, you are also buying a house in the city. Although there are fewer people living in the city now, no one is willing to sell it. If you really want to make money, as long as you work hard, the money will come in very quickly. Let me put it this way! There are so few fools in this world. With the current trend, everyone knows that things on earth are rare, let alone houses and land. "
In fact, these are no secrets on the Internet.
Right now, you can live a well-off life even if you are lying at home, and you can live a wealthy life as long as you work.
In this case, who is not allowed to buy a house because of money? As for land, it is not allowed.
Speaking of which, there are very few people who don’t own a house.
Those who owned houses in the city a year ago and moved their household registration to the city are now filled with regret. As for those who cannot afford to buy a house in the city, they are now secretly enjoying themselves.
In just one year, those who worked outside had returned to the countryside, demolished their old houses and built new ones.
The new houses have everything you need, and they are all built according to the villas worth 100 million in the past.
