Chapter 622 Biological Research Laboratory

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the scientific research center, there is a specialized biological cloning research room.

    This place was specially built when Chen Xin was studying the genetic improvement of wolves, and the biggest research result here is the big wolfdogs that played an important role in the previous earthquake in southwest China.

    They are all cultivated here.

    However, after a sufficient population was cultivated, these wolfdogs 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 research room, most of the breeding cabins in the research room were empty, and only a few of them were incubating new embryos.

    "Academician, why are you here?" The researchers at work saw Chen Xin arriving and hurriedly greeted him.

    Chen Xin nodded in response, and then said: "The Dome New City said that to build an ecosystem, animals need to join the ecosystem, so we need to cultivate new animals here, so I came to take a look."

    Hearing what Chen Xin said, the researcher nodded clearly: "A city-level ecological system is indeed inseparable from the participation of animals. When Professor Li was studying the ecological agricultural system, he considered letting us cultivate a group of animals to participate.  within the ecosystem.

    However, the calculation result at that time was that if animals were to be cultivated to join the ecological system, because the scale of the ecological agriculture system was not large enough and the number of animals was too small, it would not only be difficult to maintain, but also cultivating the animals itself would be troublesome and costly, so in the end we chose to use automatic machinery  Or artificially maintain the ecological agricultural system.

    Nowadays, if we build a city-level ecological system, the participation of animals becomes very necessary!  "

    Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin couldn't help but touch 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 view, the scale of the dome city is not particularly large. Although it needs to build the largest artificial ecological system in history, with the research basis of previous ecological agricultural systems, it is not impossible to build an ecosystem composed only of plants.  , the participation of animals is not particularly necessary.

    "Although it is possible to do this, the cost of maintaining the operation of the entire ecosystem would be too high." The researcher has naturally considered similar issues, so he replied to Chen Xin: "It's not just the flowering and pollination of plants.  , and animals themselves are part of the ecological cycle. If this part is missing and relying solely on external forces to maintain operation, the gains outweigh the losses.

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

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

    As a part of the ecological system, it is certain that animals can make the entire ecological system more complete. It is also true that it can make the entire ecological system more stable and less likely to collapse. However, the ecological system formed by nature itself is not stable.

    Because as the natural environment changes, animals and plants are constantly evolving, and the natural ecological system itself is not static.

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

    However, Chen Xin would not say these words. After all, he was only here to confirm the status of the biological laboratory and confirm whether subsequent animal breeding work could be carried out here. He was not here to discuss the theory of biological evolution with the researchers.

    "How many breeding cabins do we have available now?" Chen Xin glanced at the vacant breeding cabins around him and asked the researchers.

    ¡°There are a total of one hundred and twenty cultivation cabins here, and only twenty of them are currently in use. The rest can be activated at any time.¡± The researchers are naturally very familiar with the situation here, so they can answer without hesitation.

    Chen Xin nodded with satisfaction and said to the researchers: "In that case, you should be prepared to breed animals. As for which animals are needed, I will confirm with the project team of Dome New City and then obtain the information from the National Seed Bank.  Send over embryos and genetic samples."

    "Okay academician, we will make preparations." The researcher promised, with an excited look on his face. After all, there is not much work to do in the biological research laboratory now, and it is undoubtedly a joy to have new work.  things.

    And the researchers can also tell that this is a big research project. After all, humans have never tried to build a city-level ecological system before. This is very important when studying human beings.??How to live in harmony with the natural environment and build ecological balance is of great significance.

    " Compared with the Ecosystem No. 2 experiment built by the Federation back then, this is undoubtedly much larger in scale and more meaningful.

    After all, the Ecosystem No. 2 experiment conducted by the Federation was, to put it bluntly, just a few scientists and a few simulated ecological environments. They did not build a complete ecological system, nor did they try to make humans and the ecological environment work together.  get along.

    The most important thing is that their experiment failed completely due to various reasons.

    As a researcher from the biological field, he is naturally familiar with this period of history. He sincerely hopes that Yanguo can achieve satisfactory success in this aspect, and truly build an urban ecological system that can operate effectively and smoothly, and realize the realization of human development.  Live in harmony with the nature of the environment.

    This was epoch-making research even before the disaster, not to mention that now that the external ecological environment has been completely extinct and collapsed, only humans can rebuild the ecological system in a greenhouse environment.

    If the harmonious coexistence between humans and the environment cannot be achieved, it means that humans cannot rebuild the ecological environment of Blue Star, which would be nothing less than a huge disaster for humans.

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

    For Blue Star itself, this may be just a blink of an eye, but for humans, this is a long time scale that exceeds the entire human development process from the initial evolution to the current civilization.

    Human beings cannot wait that long. Similarly, humans cannot allow the natural environment to evolve naturally, because no one knows whether humans can still adapt to the naturally evolved natural environment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
