Chapter 625 Failed Experiment

    ??

    In a domed city, insects are flying all over the sky. They are constantly eating the leaves of planted plants, making the originally vibrant environment dilapidated and desolate.

    A large number of insects are raging, and even other animals are unable to withstand such a terrible disaster. The streets are full of dead small animals, and their corpses are also eaten by insects, and even become a breeding ground for new insects to hatch.

    "Failed again!" Chen Xin couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw this scene, and the researchers around him who saw this scene with him became very frustrated.

    “Sure enough, it is too difficult to artificially build a stable ecosystem!” A researcher couldn’t help but give up on himself and almost lost the confidence to continue.

    This was the seventeenth time they failed. Although this time the entire ecosystem persisted longer than any previous test they had done, in the end the entire ecosystem suffered from the gradual death of birds and the almost exponential reproduction of insects.  quantity and cause the entire ecosystem to collapse.

    And before this, the sixteen attempts they made also ended in failure.

    For the first time, due to failure to control plant species, insects ate the plant leaves and produced toxins that poisoned the birds. The carcasses of the birds caused indirect poisoning of other animals, and the entire ecosystem collapsed.

    Although the problem of plant species was noticed for the second time, the number of birds in the city was imbalanced due to hunting by pet cats. In the end, you still led to the flooding of insects and the collapse of the entire ecosystem.

    The third time was when the number of birds surged and they ate up all the insects; the fourth time was when predatory birds were introduced in an attempt to maintain the balance, resulting in ordinary birds being hunted down due to territorial issues; the fifth time

    Chen Xin looked at the experiment records and no longer wanted to think about how he failed before.

    Of all the seventeen experiments so far, the shortest ecosystem they maintained lasted only seven months, and the longest was this one. Although it lasted ten years in total, it eventually collapsed.

    "What is the problem? We have fully considered the needs and output of all animals in the entire food chain, why does it still collapse?" A researcher asked unwillingly, seeming to be questioning other people, and also asking  Question yourself.

    Faced with this problem, Chen Xin sighed helplessly: "The ecological balance itself is very fragile. Any variable may easily break the original balance. It will take a long time for the natural world to form a stable structure.  time to form a stable coexistence relationship.

    Our current idea of ??artificially bringing together several organisms to create a balanced and stable ecosystem is really too idealistic.  "

    Although Chen Xin does not think this is impossible, after failing so many times, even he must admit that a truly stable ecological environment is far from being achieved by just adding a few organisms.

    There may indeed be a natural enemy relationship between two organisms, but the influence of population size, environmental carrying capacity and other environmental factors often results in results that are not as ideal as expected. The difference between theoretical results and actual results may often be just  The difference in a certain variable will lead to a huge difference.

    "Is our idea wrong?" Although everyone was frustrated by seventeen consecutive failures, some researchers still came up with new ideas: "Every experiment we conducted before put animals in all at once.  As a result, due to different reproduction rates, the development speeds of populations are different. As a result, a balanced ecological system cannot be formed, causing the ecological system to collapse quickly every time.

    This time we tried to propagate the species’ population to a certain size and then release it in batches. It took ten years for the entire ecosystem to collapse, and it lasted longer than every time before. So should we adjust our thinking?  "

    "What you say makes sense. Ecological balance should be a dynamic balance. There should be a certain degree of flexibility in the numbers of different populations, allowing the entire ecosystem to have a certain fault tolerance and automatic correction function. Perhaps we should indeed change  Here’s an idea.” Chen Xin couldn’t help but nodded in agreement after hearing what the researcher said.

    Their previous experiments mainly relied on Professor Li’s successful experience in studying ecological agricultural systems. They combined several coexisting animals and plants according to the consumption and supply relationship in the food chain, thinking that they could build a balanced ecological system.

    But it is obvious that the ecological system is not composed of such a simple combination of several species.

    Especially changes in environmental factors will have an impact on the ecology of species, and there are also differences between different speciesrelationship of mutual influence.

    Under such circumstances, there are actually quite a few variables that affect the final ecological balance. Although Chen Xin can simulate the impact of various environmental variables here, he cannot calculate a correct answer.

    Or there is a correct answer, but the conditions they provide are not sufficient enough to calculate the optimal solution.

    Faced with the current situation and seventeen consecutive experimental failures, changing one’s thinking is also a good choice.

    "It seems that we have overlooked another important factor!" At this time, a researcher was trying to review the test just now. Just looking at the review results, he suddenly discovered a blind spot.

    Hearing what the researcher said, Chen Xin immediately looked at him curiously: "What did you find?"

    "What we need to build is an urban ecosystem, right? But so far, it seems that we have never substituted the city as a variable into the entire ecological system! And what we have always simulated has only been the ecology of animals and plants.  The existence of human beings is not calculated." The researcher said loudly about his discovery.

    "That's true, but we can't build a stable ecological system when we ignore cities and human activities. If we add human activities and cities as influencing variables, it will be more difficult to achieve balance, right?  "Although other researchers agreed with the problems he discovered, they did not agree with his ideas.

    Chen Xin had some different views on this. He interrupted the debate between the two researchers, thought for a while and said: "Since we want to change our thinking, it would be a good idea to add urban variables and human activities to the ecological system as a reference.  Path, after all, this is the result we ultimately want. It’s easier to calculate if we put it in now, right?

    And compared to this, what we should consider more is how to build this system first so that it can run smoothly, instead of always being destroyed due to various reasons like it is now.  "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
