Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 521: Biological Laboratory

In the research center, there is a dedicated biological cloning laboratory.

This place was specially built by Chen Xin when he was studying the genetic improvement of wolves, and the biggest research result here is the great wolf dogs that played an important role in the previous southwest earthquake.

They are all nurtured here.

However, after cultivating enough populations, these wolf dogs were transferred to other places for breeding and training. The research center is only responsible for follow-up research, as well as the cultivation and improvement of a small number of individuals.

So when Chen Xin came to this laboratory, most of the incubation cabins in the laboratory were empty, and only a few were incubating new embryos.

"Academician, why are you here?" The working researchers saw Chen Xin's arrival and hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Xin nodded as a response, and then said: "The Dome New City said that building an ecosystem requires animals to join the ecosystem, so we need to breed new animals here, so I'll come and take a look."

Hearing Chen Xin say this, the researcher nodded clearly: "The urban-level ecosystem is indeed inseparable from the participation of animals. When Professor Li was studying the ecological agricultural system before, he considered letting us cultivate a group of Animals participate in ecosystems.

But the result of the calculation at that time was that if animals were cultivated to join the ecosystem, because the scale of the ecological agriculture system was not large enough, and the number of animals was too small, it was not only difficult to maintain, but also the cultivation of animals itself was troublesome and costly, so I finally chose The maintenance of the ecological agricultural system is carried out by automatic machinery or manual methods.

In order to build a city-level ecosystem now, the participation of animals has become necessary! "

Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin couldn't help touching his chin and asked him, "I understand the importance of animals in the ecosystem, but it's not impossible without animals, right?"

In Chen Xin's opinion, the scale of the dome city is not particularly large. Although it needs to build the largest artificial ecological system in history, it has the research foundation of the previous ecological agriculture system. No, the participation of animals is not particularly necessary.

"Although it is possible to do this, the cost of maintaining the entire ecosystem would be too high." The researchers naturally considered similar questions, so they replied to Chen Xin: "It's not just about plants. Pollination, as well as animals themselves, are part of the ecological cycle. If this part is missing, it will not be worth the loss if it is maintained by external forces alone.

And the addition of animals can also make the entire ecosystem more complete and stable. After all, we are just imitating nature. Only the ecosystem formed by nature itself is the most stable and perfect. "

Chen Xin can only partially agree with the researcher's remarks.

As part of the ecosystem, animals can make the whole ecosystem more complete. This is certain. It can make the whole ecosystem more stable and not easy to collapse. It is also correct, but the ecosystem formed by nature itself is not stable.

Because with the changes of the natural environment, animals and plants are constantly evolving, and the natural ecosystem itself is not static.

Otherwise, there would not have been so many ecological niche changes in the history of natural evolution, eliminating old overlords and new species at the top of the food chain.

However, Chen Xin will not say these words. After all, he is only here to confirm the status of the biological research laboratory and whether the follow-up animal breeding work can be carried out here, not to discuss the theory of biological evolution with the researchers.

“How many breeding pods do we have now?” Chen Xin glanced at the vacant breeding pods around and asked the researcher.

"There are a total of 120 breeding cabins here, only 20 of which are currently in use, and the rest can be activated at any time." The researcher is naturally very familiar with the situation here, so the answer is also open. .

Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction and said to the researcher: "In this case, you should prepare to breed animals. As for which animals are needed, I will confirm with the project team of Dome New City, and then from The National Seed Bank transferred embryos and genetic samples.”

"Okay academician, we will make preparations." The researcher agreed, with an excited look on his face. After all, there is not much work to do in the biological research laboratory, and it is undoubtedly a good idea to have new work. something to be happy about.

And the researchers can also hear that this is a big research project. After all, human beings have never tried to build a city-level ecological system before, which is studying how human beings live in harmony with the natural environment and build ecological Balance is very important.

This is undoubtedly much larger and more meaningful than the Ecosphere II experiment built by the Federation back then.

After all, the Ecosphere No. 2 experiment conducted by the Federation back then was just a few scientists and a few pieces of simulated ecological environment. They did not build a complete ecological system, nor did they try to let humans and The ecological environment coexists together.

Most importantly, their experiment ultimately failed for a variety of reasons.

As a researcher from the biological field, he is still familiar with this historical period. He sincerely hopes that the Yan Kingdom can achieve satisfactory success in this area and build an urban ecosystem that can operate effectively and smoothly. , to achieve the natural harmony between man and the environment~IndoMTL.com~ This is an epoch-making research even before the disaster, not to mention that the external ecological environment has been completely extinct and collapsed, and only human beings can survive in the greenhouse environment. Rebuild the ecosystem.

If the harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment cannot be achieved, it means that humans cannot rebuild the ecological environment of the Blue Star, which is tantamount to a huge disaster for humans.

Although the Blue Star itself does not need humans to rebuild the ecological environment, the mass extinction of species has occurred more than once on this planet, and the death of animals and plants around the world has not occurred more than once, and the natural environment will also recovery, but it will take at least tens or even millions of years.

For Bluestar itself, this may be just a flick of a finger, but for human beings, this is a long time that exceeds the entire human development process from the initial evolution to the present civilization. scale.

Humans can't wait that long. Likewise, humans cannot allow the natural environment to evolve naturally, because no one knows whether the natural environment can still adapt to the natural environment.
