Through experiments, Chen Xin has apparently found a way to correctly build an ecosystem.
First build a relatively stable ecological cycle, then add new species to it, use the new species to stimulate the original species, change them, accommodate the new species, and form a new ecological cycle. By repeating this, you can finally get a Stable ecosystem.
This approach actually uses the adaptive ability of organisms to force them to make changes in order to adapt to the environment.
When oranges grow in Huainan, they become tangerines, and when oranges grow in northern Huaibei, they become tangerines. In the natural environment, animals and plants often actively adjust themselves to be more adaptable to the environment in order to survive better. When the environment changes, inconsistencies often occur. adapt to the situation.
If you give organisms some time, adaptable organisms can gradually adjust themselves so that they can gradually adapt to the environment and eventually survive.
Darwin's theory of biological evolution comes from this. In the process of continuous adaptation to the environment for hundreds of millions of years, living things continue to develop and evolve, change into different forms, and evolve into new species. In the final analysis, all living things can be traced back to their origins. From the initial origin of life, it was just hundreds of millions of years of evolution that transformed them into different forms.
The reason why Chen Xin's previous experiments in constructing a dome urban ecosystem have continued to fail is that they directly kneaded different species together without considering the species' adaptation process to the environment.
In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Xin and the others did not give the species time to adapt, because this is not an actual operation, but a simulation through virtual equipment.
The various data of species and the adaptability between different species are all data written in advance and pieced together to calculate according to the preset variables. Although there are variables for mutual adaptation between species, these variables are just like real variables. Like biological evolution, it takes time to adapt.
To bring out the biological adaptability of a species, it is usually not possible to achieve it in one or two generations. After all, creatures in nature usually do not have such exaggerated mutation and evolution speed, and the adaptability of species is not so strong.
But the experiment adjusted by Chen Xin was different.
Although there is not much change overall, it is just to build a stable cycle first and then continuously add new variables.
But the key is that every time Chen Xin adds a variable, he will wait for the entire ecological cycle to stabilize before adding new variables, which gives species time to adapt.
To put it simply, every time Chen Xin adds a new species, he gives the original species time to adapt and evolve.
It is precisely because of the time to adapt that the entire ecosystem can adjust itself to accommodate more species and build a more stable ecological environment.
However, this can only be regarded as a reference value for the construction of the ecological environment of the dome city, and the ecology cannot be constructed in this way.
After all, the construction period of the entire dome city project is only scheduled for about one year. The follow-up finishing work will be added for another one to two years. The entire city will be completed within three years. It is impossible to spend two to three hundred years slowly waiting for the ecological environment. stable.
However, this does not have a great impact on Chen Xin. Experiments through virtual simulation can completely condense hundreds of years into a few hours, and obtain the results Chen Xin wants through a large number of experiments.
The main problem with the previous construction of dome city ecosystems was that after species populations reproduced, it was easy for a certain population to overproduce or conflicts between two species to cause ecological imbalance.
But now that Chen Xin has reorganized his thinking, he can screen out suitable species combinations through multiple simulation experiments, and at the same time use simulation experiments to test the most suitable construction method.
This is what Chen Xin thinks and does at the same time.
In the virtual space, ten domes have been deployed, and all the basic conditions are based on the real situation.
It's just that the basic ecological construction and species prepared to invest in each dome are different.
This time, Chen Xin hopes to use tests to find out how to stabilize the species combination in the short term, so as to build a stable ecological environment in the dome city in a short time.
Chen Xin has lowered his requirements for this ecological environment. He does not require the complexity of the ecological environment or the number of species. Instead, he hopes that the entire ecological environment can be constructed in a short time and be stable enough.
According to Chen Xinxin's previous ideas, there are indeed some problems with his thinking. It is unrealistic to directly build a complete ecosystem.
Misadaptation and conflict between species in a short period of time can completely destroy the balance of the entire ecosystem. Only when species adapt to each other can the balance of the entire ecosystem be maintained and accommodate new species.
First build a simple ecological cycle in a short period of time, and then continue to add new species to this ecological cycle for a long time, so that the entire ecological cycle will eventually become rich and diverse, turning the original short-term plan into a Long-term projects.
This will certainly make the construction of the entire ecosystem take a long time, but for the self-regulation of the ecological environment and the adaptation of species, this is not a very long time.
This time, the experimental results also verified his conjecture.
Of the ten domes, only three had problems with the initial basic ecological construction, and the other seven had successfully established a stable ecological environment.
As for the three domes that have problems, they have not fallen into ecological collapse. Instead, they can restore ecological balance through artificial external force adjustments.
This made Chen Xin very happy and at the same time full of confidence in the success of this plan.
He tweaked the details of several domes, adding new species to them, while also adding crucial human activities.
His own "Ecological Ball" experiment had already accumulated enough human activity data for him, and incorporating it into the dome ecosphere experiment undoubtedly made this experiment more valuable and authentic.
The impact of human activities on the ecological environment can also be fully verified in Chen Xin's experiment.
After all, what he wants is an urban ecology, rather than simply building an ecological environment that excludes humans.
After Chen Xin added these parameters and variables, as time passed in the virtual space, different ecological environments evolved in the ten domes, giving different results.
In the end, after the one hundred years set by Chen Xin, the environment in the ten domes has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Chen Xin also got the answer he wanted.
