There is currently no way to exploit the earth's resources.
Just like these facilities around the earth now, the resources they consume come either from the earth or the moon, and only a small part comes from asteroids.
According to the solar system development plan, the resources of the earth and the moon will only be developed in the early stage. In the middle and late stages, that is, after landing on Mars, the development of their resources will be greatly reduced.
In fact, the relevant departments have made plans for resource extraction from the beginning. They have plans for which celestial bodies in the solar system will be developed and to what extent these celestial bodies will be developed.
You must know that resources in the solar system are not exploited blindly. Whether it is energy or resources, once they are exploited without control and plan, it will inevitably change the overall environment of the solar system. The result is that the overall environment of the entire solar system will change.
Changes in the solar system's general environment are catastrophic for humans. If we are not careful, humans will be wiped out.
This is no joke.
For now, if a major anomaly occurs in the solar system, such as the moon hitting the earth, an abnormality in the sun, an explosion, etc.
These are devastating blows to today's human beings.
Even in the future, for example, if the proton fusion device is successful and humans become an interstellar civilization, even then, humans will still be cautious about the development of the solar system.
Of course, when human science and technology develop to a certain level, such as to the extent of transforming the entire star system, it won't matter.
At this level, it means that humans can control the entire star system. Everything about the star system is under control, so there is no need to worry.
Xu Zhengping nodded and said: "The current development requires resources from the earth and the moon, but don't worry, the relevant departments have paid attention to this, and many scientific research teams are also doing research in this area. We will not develop first as we did before. If we want to take care of the environment again, we can’t do it even if we want to.”
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Now is not the same as before. Besides, since humans entered industrialization, if they cannot enter the space age for a long time, human development will continue to accelerate the speed of changes in the earth's environment. In just two or three thousand years, the earth's environment will also It is no longer suitable for the survival of us humans. Moreover, it cannot be compared with the past. In the past, no matter how hard we humans struggled, we were still on the earth. It was still difficult to kill ourselves. But it is different now, just like the moon. If we accidentally exploit too much resources, the moon might crash into the earth, and we humans would be almost doomed."
Research on the earth's environment is always ongoing.
In the past, everyone knew that greenhouse gases emitted by industrial development have changed the earth's environment, and relevant policies have been formulated to mitigate them.
Meetings are held every year to discuss how to face global warming and so on.
According to research, after humans entered industrialization, the speed of environmental changes on the earth has continued to accelerate.
You must know that the earth's environment at this time is suitable for human survival, but it does not mean that the earth's environment will always be suitable for human survival.
The earth's environment is constantly changing.
According to the laws of nature, an environment suitable for human survival will last for a long time. You must know that the environment that supported the survival of dinosaurs lasted two to three billion years.
According to research, if humans follow the original way of life, that is, the way animals survive, the impact on the earth's environment will be minimal.
When humans entered agricultural civilization, their impact on the earth's environment relatively increased. After humans entered industrial civilization, this impact further increased. When humans entered information civilization, this process further increased.
When humans maintain agricultural civilization, there will be no problem at all if the earth's environment persists for hundreds of thousands of years.
But after humans enter industrial civilization, the earth's environment will be able to survive for tens of thousands of years.
After mankind enters the information age, based on the level of development last year, the earth's environment will be able to survive for three thousand years.
During this time, the earth's
Extreme weather will continue to increase.
If this level is maintained, in three thousand years, the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for human survival.
This was before humans entered the space age.
For now, mankind has entered the space age, and mankind has the ability to develop the entire solar system.
At this time, human beings' abilities have become stronger, and their relative destructive power has also become stronger.
In the past, humans only worked on the earth, but now they can work in the solar system outside the earth. Similarly, when developing the solar system, it will also change the overall environment of the solar system.
As far as the collection of solar energy is concerned, the light column project is not about collecting solar energy blindly, nor is it about the development of resources without any rules.
It is still not possible to fully grasp the entire solar system. If you are not careful, you can mess up the entire solar system.
This is no joke.
Bao Qizheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, we can be careful now. We don't dare to be careless about the development of resources. This is not on earth. In the past, the environment was polluted. We can restore the environment, although it is difficult. It’s not small, but it’s still manageable, and no matter how you try to make its impact, it won’t be too exaggerated. Like now, if you’re not careful, you’re in trouble, and no one dares to joke about it.”
Su Zhe explained: "We need to be more conservative when it comes to the development of resources on the earth and the moon. In other words, we need to be more conservative when it comes to the development of resources in the solar system. Before we humans have transformed the entire solar system, we cannot put the solar system's The environment has become out of control. You must know that as long as the earth's orbit undergoes major changes, the environment on the earth will no longer be suitable for human survival, and we humans will lose our home. Therefore, we It’s better to be more cautious now.”
For the earth, it is very dependent on the overall environment of the solar system.
You must know that the solar system is a whole, and it is currently in a delicate balance, just like the environment of the earth.
In the process of development, humans have to exploit resources and use energy, which is like the environment of the region.
In the continuous accumulation, the changes in the general environment will one day change from quantitative to qualitative changes, and this is the beginning of human disaster.
Speaking of which, the most fundamental solution is to develop science and technology to understand and analyze the overall environment of the entire solar system.
When you have the ability to fully grasp the laws of changes in the general environment of a star system and have the ability to change it, you don't need to worry too much.
Just like the current research and protection of the earth's environment.
It’s just that humans are not yet able to ensure that the earth’s environment does not change.
For now, what humans can do is to control environmental changes within the earth, that is, to control the impact of human factors on the earth's environment.
In contrast, as humans study the earth's environment, they can slowly grasp the laws of its changes.
But the earth's environment also depends on the environment outside the earth, that is, the overall environment of the solar system.
Only when the general environment of the solar system remains unchanged can the general environment of the region be well maintained.
Speaking of which, the earth today is quite fragile.
Changes in the general environment of the solar system will affect changes in the Earth's general environment, such as the intensity of the sun, changes in the sun's gravity, changes in the solar wind, changes in the orbits of celestial bodies such as Saturn and Jupiter, etc.
As long as these changes occur, it will bring about changes in the global environment to some extent.
To put it simply, the current solar system is in a dynamic equilibrium. As the sun burns, the general environment of the solar system is also changing all the time, but this change process is very small.
Under normal circumstances, this change will reach qualitative change after a long, long time. Only then will the solar system undergo major changes.
For example, changes in the general environment of the solar system have caused changes in the general environment of the earth.
Speaking of which, this process is constantly happening.
You know, the great iteration of life on earth has gone through several rounds.
To put it simply, it is
The earth's general environment has changed. Those creatures in the past are no longer suitable to survive in this environment. The creatures in the past will naturally disappear in the long history of the earth.
Creatures from the past were eliminated, and creatures suitable for the current environment appeared.
In this way, the creatures on earth are iterated again and again.
Of course, the process of biological iteration in the past was quite long, which means that the change of the earth's environment also took a long time.
However, after humans broke away from the most primitive way of life, especially after humans entered industrial civilization, although the general environment of the solar system has not changed much, the quantitative changes have not yet reached the level of qualitative changes.
However, human development has changed the global environment on the earth.
In other words, the changes in the earth's environment are artificially accelerated by humans. As mentioned before, based on the scale of development a year ago, the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for human survival in another three thousand years.
This is caused by internal causes of the earth, which means that after human intervention, the rate of change of the earth's environment has greatly accelerated.
In contrast, now that human beings have entered the space age and begun to develop the solar system, this process will inevitably change the general environment of the solar system. In other words, with the development of the solar system, the speed of the change of the general environment of the solar system will also accelerate.
But after the change changes from quantitative to qualitative, the general environment of the solar system is bound to undergo major changes. At this time, the general environment of the earth will also change accordingly.
Speaking of which, this is also a difficult thing to do.
On the one hand, there is development, on the other hand, there is no development.
The former still has a glimmer of hope. As long as science and technology reach a certain level, there is no need to worry about this.
The latter would simply eat and wait to die, leaving the fate of mankind to God.
It is foreseeable that the global environment will change sooner or later.
In the past, people on the Internet often said that the life of the sun was billions of years. To be honest, if humans did not speed up the development of science and technology, it would be impossible for humans to see the sun extinguish.
Human survival depends on the earth's current environment, and we must know that the earth's environment is constantly changing.
Similarly, the sun is constantly burning, and the general environment of the solar system is also constantly changing. Coupled with the development of human beings, the environment of the earth is really not very good for a few years.
If you imagine, you will know that if humans are unable to enter the space age, the most optimistic scenario is that the earth's environment will no longer be suitable for human survival in three or four thousand years, which means that it will no longer be suitable for the survival of living creatures on the earth today.
Suppose that the temperature on the earth simply increases and decreases.
If the overall temperature rises, if the overall temperature of the earth exceeds 50 degrees, it can be said that 99% of all living things on the earth will become extinct. Even if humans survive on the earth, their numbers will be greatly reduced. The entire earth has a population of several million, which is considered too many.
If the overall temperature decreases, it will be an ice age on the earth.
This process occurs repeatedly on the earth, and every occurrence is a mass extinction of life on earth.
Similarly, after the earth as a whole cools down, there will not be many people left on the earth.
Of course, today's humans are not the animals and plants of the past. Today's humans have mastered certain science and technology and can still survive in such an environment, but only in small numbers.
This only takes into account a single temperature.
In fact, a change in one factor will bring about changes in many aspects, such as the decrease in land area, changes in the proportion of air matter content, etc.
Take changes in the proportion of air substances as an example. Large changes in oxygen content can affect human survival. If gases harmful to humans appear in the air, it will be a fatal blow to humans.
Even if humans can still survive on the earth at this time, humans at this time do not dare to be directly exposed to the air and need to wear certain equipment to survive.
Not to mention gravity, magnetic field, etc., the proportion of space has changed, and humans cannot directly breathe air to survive.
this situation
If humans want to survive, they can only create a closed space. The air in the space is all artificially created.
Think about it, how many humans can survive in such an environment.
By that time, breathing really costs money.
In other words, human beings cannot enter the space age, and human beings cannot see the sun extinguishing at all.
Human beings can live comfortably for only a few thousand years. After that, the number of human beings will decrease on a large scale, and then a small number of people will linger on the earth.
In a few years, human beings will inevitably disappear from the history of the earth.
In other words, before humans have entered the space age, the waste of resources and energy are overdrawing the future of mankind.
The more serious the waste, the more resources and energy will be needed, and the corresponding changes to the global environment will be accelerated.
The correct approach is to reduce the consumption of resources and energy, which will also slow down the speed of changes in the earth's environment.
At the same time, the focus of development will be on scientific and technological breakthroughs.
This is a situation before humans have entered the space age.
Similarly, after humans enter the space age, they must take the same measures to protect the solar system's environment.
Thinking of this, Su Zhe looked at the other people.
