Chapter 1227: Atmospheric transformation materials?
From the completion of the lunar scientific research station to the present, it has been a short period of time. The population who often live on the moon has almost doubled in one year, and has now grown to more than 50 people.
However, this population growth is not without limits.
Starting this year, the Lunar Track Construction Committee announced that it will limit the increase in the number of permanent residents of the lunar area in the short term, and requires the management unit to try to maintain the current research plan with the same lunar resource development plan. The number of resident staff at the scientific research station is controlled below 60.
The reason for this arrangement is not entirely that the cost of maintaining an astronaut living in space is too high, but it is really not a realistic condition.
Just like the health problems faced by many megacities, the population size of the monthly scientific research station is far from the level of the city, but because there is no ecosystem that can be naturally degraded, the difficulty of solving the health problem is The population growth is magnified exponentially.
According to the needs of an adult's normal life, the daily garbage generated in a day is about 1 kilogram, of which metabolic waste accounts for more than 50%. For these metabolic wastes, there is almost no way to completely dispose of the metabolic research station.
Even if the lunar planting unit can consume a part of the feces and urine and let the organic matter re-enter the circulation, the circulation efficiency is not high.
Coupled with some bacterial and microbial contamination, health and safety has become an issue that cannot be ignored in the lunar scientific research station. In order to transport those living wastes back to Earth, they have already taken up the transportation resources of a whole transport ship.
If the size of the population continues to expand, I am afraid that the Moon Rail Construction Committee has to plan a special route for transporting urine.
However, the emergence of dr-111 active microorganisms has brought about a turn for everything.
No one knows where it came from. The project seems to be suddenly appearing in the database. On one day, people were suddenly assigned to conduct research.
Although some people are curious about which big cows and where they have collected so many microbial samples, it is not known because of the lack of literature.
Drinking coffee and looking at the data from the back of the lunar scientific research station on the screen, Lu Zhou’s face showed such a look.
As he guessed, this dr-111 microbe is not that simple.
In an aerobic environment, it also accumulates a ketone while decomposing metabolites through respiration. In fact, this ketone is harmless to other organisms, but it is Harmful.
Prolonged exposure to an aerobic environment can cause the entire microbiota to reproduce slowly and eventually self-destruct.
On the contrary, if it is in high nitrogen, carbon dioxide concentration, and light, the microbe will explode with amazing ability to reproduce and eat.
While phagocytizing and decomposing metabolites, it generates oxygen through photosynthesis and fixes solar energy in a special molecular chain of amino acids.
Although the taste of direct consumption may not be ideal, this special amino acid molecular chain can be digested by most organisms, that is, it can directly enter the cycle of the ecosystem.
Not only that, this organism has an extraordinary tolerance to low-gravity environments, and even under the direct illumination of cosmic rays, it can maintain the stability of the overall trait by decomposing and phagocytizing its own cancer cells.
This gadget is an excellent waste purification substance!
It's a curse on the earth, and the space station and space colony is where it really should go.
The experimental report was seen from the beginning, and the expression on Lu Zhou’s face became more and more satisfied. Then at this moment, his mind suddenly flashed a glimmer of light - or brain hole.
“Is this stuff a kind of artificially modified atmosphere?”
A civilization that entered the interstellar era created it, and then planted it on the chaotic planet that just formed the atmosphere, and opened up a colony for its own civilization.
This interesting microbe breeds wildly in the atmosphere of high carbon dioxide concentration, exponentially growing, even covering the entire planet's surface.
In the end, in countless stellar years, it acts both as a producer and as a decomposer, absorbing excess carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, accelerating the process of atmospheric evolution, while allowing more carbon to be fixed by photosynthesis. The organic matter directly used by the organism enters the biosphere cycle.
In the final stage, as oxygen continues to rise, photosynthesis gradually becomes a respiration, and the resulting ketones begin to kill this microbe and let it lose its ability to reproduce until it is completely from the entire ecosystem. Disappeared.
After completing all these tasks, a chaotic planet covered by carbon dioxide may only use dozens of stellar years to complete the atmospheric evolution that would have taken hundreds of millions of years to complete.
This brain hole can't stop when it opens, and Lu Zhou thinks that it is more likely.
After all, the atmospheric environment planets suitable for the survival of carbon-based organisms in this universe are too few, and the oxidation reaction is the way for most organisms to obtain energy.
Under the conditions of natural evolution, it may take hundreds of millions of years for a chaotic planet filled with carbon dioxide and nitrogen to become a prosperous species and a relatively livable world.
If a civilization develops to the level of interstellar civilization and can extend the territory to areas within hundreds of light years by means of superluminal speed, it is not impossible to master the planetary transformation technology.
Even, this is almost a necessity.
After all, the nature of civilization is the transformation of nature.
Only the beast will choose to obey.
"I didn't expect to find something so incredible..."
I was shocked by my own thoughts, and Lu Zhou’s pupils gradually got an excitement.
If his idea is true, then the microbes that he is in his hands will not be as simple as the "space-based waste purifier", but from the living fossil of a higher civilization!
Among them, it is not only the microbe itself, but also the bioreconstruction technology and genetic modification technology that it may contain.
It is unclear how much can be reversed from the middle, but even if it is only a little bit of harvest, for human civilization still in the early days of the space age, the help will be enormous.
In addition, Lu Zhou also thought of Mars, which is close at hand.
It is not realistic to directly transform Mars's atmosphere. After all, Mars's gravity is too small, and there is no protection of the magnetic field. Even if it creates an atmosphere similar to Earth, it will eventually be lost.
But if you build a relatively closed large biosphere in a limited area, the feasibility is still quite large.
With this kind of microbial environmental transformation ability, if you use the method and the transformation plan properly, creating such a closed biosphere on Mars may not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou did not know what, suddenly remembered what the observer and the words he said, and his heart inexplicably raised a hint of thoughts.
Everything is the best arrangement is unlikely.
But maybe...
This solar system is really likely to be "designed"...
