Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

As early as the 1990s, the United States tried to build a micro-artificial ecological circulation system in the desert north of Tucson, Arizona, in order to conduct ecological and environmental research in a closed state, helping humans understand how the earth works. And study the conditions in the simulation of the Earth's ecological environment.

The project was originally initiated by a rugby player and received investment from a number of consortia including Rockefeller, costing $150 million, which caused quite a stir at the time.

However, unfortunately, the final experimental results were not as sensational as when the idea was put forward. The experimental team stationed in Biosphere 2 announced the failure of the plan after only one year of persistence. Withdone from the second.

The only conclusion of the experiment is that the Earth may be the only home suitable for human life.

In general, this plan is undoubtedly a failure. Biosphere 2 has not formed an ecosystem that can exist independently and has been transformed into an eco-hotel even after the project ended.

However, standing in the era of the times, this idea is quite groundbreaking, and some of the technologies that have been born have re-emerged in many other fields.

From the perspective of the task of system layout, the probability of more than 90% of the third stage of the task chain is to establish a permanent or semi-permanent settlement in the moon, or a scientific research station. Although the manned landing on the first stage has not yet been completed, it does not prevent Lu Zhou from preparing for the future.

What's more, even in the first phase of the mission, there are side quests such as "planting on the moon" waiting for him.

Therefore, after several meticulous exchanges with experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Space Administration, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, the “fire” artificial biosphere program came into being.

Compared with the US Biosphere 2, the goal of the "Fire" program is more clear, paving the way for space colonization.

Based on a series of factors including climate, environment, etc., the site of the "fire" plan biosphere a is located in the Gurbantunggut Desert in the middle of the Zhungeer Basin. It is completely isolated from the outside world through a hemispherical building structure. .

Of course, considering the realities, Luzhou is not as restrictive as the Arizona Biosphere 2, which is too restrictive to provide a comfortable living environment for the “colonizers” by establishing a complete ecosystem. Instead, it is allowed. “Limited minerals, freshwater, and biological resources input” to implement this plan with the goal of reducing resource input as much as possible.

Regarding this project, although Lu Zhou has formulated a specific implementation plan, he did not personally take responsibility. Instead, he chose to cooperate with several universities such as Huacai College and Huaguo Agricultural University, and selected a researcher from Huaguo Agricultural University. As the main person in charge...

After living in a camp built by the 150th Regiment and 4th Battalion, the next day after seeing a fellow from Jinling, Lu Zhou simply explained the work of the site, and immediately received the Huaguo Agricultural University. The phone over there, I learned that the researcher has arrived in Urumqi.

From Urumqi to the center of Zhungeer Basin, there is still a long way to go. Lu Zhou is not in a hurry. After eating at noon, Wang Peng drives himself and a guide in a unit to go out in the desert. I checked the terrain of the nearby area.

Almost in the evening, a desert-colored military jeep and a water truck appeared on the desert's horizon and slowly approached the checkpoint at the entrance to the camp.

It happened that I came back from the outside, and Lu Zhou got off the bus directly at the door and walked over to the desert-colored jeep. When he walked to the door of the car, a middle-aged man with glasses, a windbreaker, and a tall, thin-skinned man carrying a seemingly old rucksack pushed the door down.

At a glance, Lu Zhou was recognized. The middle-aged man put his backpack on his shoulder and smiled and extended his right hand.

"Fortunately, I will be lucky, Professor Lu is very good! I have a long time!"

"You don't have to be so polite," Lu Zhou took his hand and shook it. After releasing it, he smiled and made a gesture of asking. "This is not a place to talk. Please, please."

In addition to the guys who carry daily necessities and eat, there are two doctors who are also wearing the dusty servants on the car. The look on the face looks not very good. It seems that they have not slept well on this road.

Due to the large wind and sand outside, the pedestrians were all tired and bumped all the way, so Lu Zhou invited them into an activity metal room. Just as he was going to find a tea set, Yan Yan, wearing a military green casual dress, came in from the outside with a teapot and a cup.

"The water just boils, you go to sit, let me come."

Looking at Yan Yan, he said, Lu Zhou said.

"sorry to bother you."

"No trouble."

Reaching out the hair of the horns to the back of the ear, Yan Yan poured a cup of tea on the four people sitting in the room, then left the teapot on the table, turned and walked out of the door, and took the door with ease. .

Lu Zhou, sitting at the table, took a resume from the drawer and looked at the resume to look at the middle-aged professor who was sitting on the sofa very cautiously, especially if the photo was similar to himself.

I was embarrassed to be looked at by the boat. The professor coughed softly and asked in a tone.

"Is there any problem?"

"Nothing, just confirm it," smiled lightly. Lu Zhou put down the resume in his hand and watched the professor say, "Welcome to the Gurbantunggut Desert."

The professor of the Agricultural University, who is sitting in front of Lu Zhou, is called Hu Yang. His name is a kind of plant homonym that is not rare on the Gobi Desert. The practical and diligent character is similar.

Prior to this, Lu Zhou did not see him, but he had seen his photos from the resume given by Huaguo Agricultural University, and briefly understood his research direction and academic background.

In general, his resume is relatively common in all aspects. Like most scholars engaged in unpopular research, he has not commented on Changjiang scholars and has no chance to be with academicians... but these things are not what Lu Zhou is interested in.

After all, the research direction is so unpopular, if there is still a lot of results, it is called Nima's problem.

Lu Zhou simply looked at his resume and decided to hand over the project to him.

There is no reason for him. On the one hand, there is a professional counterpart. On the other hand, there is no certain persistence or perseverance. Few people will stick to an unpopular and difficult outcome, and persist in such a long time.

Another job is very hard. It must be staying on the Gobi Desert all the year round. It can be said to be a waste of youth and a waste of life.

Apart from him, basically no one has taken the initiative to apply here.

In a sense, Lu Zhou’s choice is not a lot.

It took about two minutes to chill, and Lu Zhou didn't have a guest set for too long. After putting down the teacup, he quickly entered the topic.

"I won't say much if I have a guest. I believe that the specific situation of the 'fire type' plan has already been told by you at the University of Agriculture."

"Yes," Hu Yang nodded and said in a serious tone. "I received the project proposal from the day before yesterday, and I almost rushed here."

"It's been hard all the way."

"Where is the matter," Hu Yang smiled cautiously. "When we do this, we always have to go to the experimental field, whether it is in the desert or on the edge of the city, it is the same for me! ”

Lu Zhou nodded and continued.

"You can think so, it's really admirable. It's not easy to make such a brave decision. You must have thought for a long time and made a certain degree of awareness, but I still have to say something more. This project is of great significance. It is related to the future of China's aerospace industry, and it is also related to the layout of China's future development of external space resources. The task is very arduous and very hard!"

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"Before taking over this research project, I hope that you have seriously considered it clearly. This means that in the next few years, even in the past ten years, you have to live a life away from people. Only holidays may have a chance to return. Family."

The two doctoral students sitting next to Hu Yang held their breath, but soon relaxed.

Although it is wrong to choose the wrong direction, the hard work is inevitable, but they do not have to do such a big awareness with their professors.

After all, they have graduated for more than a few years, and they have graduated two articles. They stayed here for two years.

As for Hu Yang, the expression has not changed from beginning to end.

After Lu Zhou’s voice fell, he just nodded his head and said in a serious tone that there was no need to hesitate.

"I have already considered it clearly."

The expression was awe-inspiring, Lu Zhou looked at him and solemnly said.

"Tell me here."
