Honghuang, I am engaged in science and technology in the Wuzu

It is easier to move to the depths of space, but if you want to work and live in space for a long time, you must build an ecosystem that is completely self-sufficient and independent of the outside world.

The difficulty of ecosystems also lies in the stability of ecosystems, and as we all know, if ecological conditions are to be constant in a confined space, it is necessary to maintain the balance of environmental dynamics.

Brilliant Technology Company has encountered the problem of ecological imbalance, and finally through a lot of research, the laboratory has basically overcome this problem, and this ring city is a practical attempt.

In the ecosystem, the perfect circulation of carbon dioxide, water and oxygen is necessary for air stability, and once there is an imbalance, the entire ecosystem collapses.

Plants and autotrophic microorganisms produce organic matter by fixing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and release oxygen to produce organic matter for human and animal consumption.

Wastes generated by plants, animals and people are treated and returned to the soil, and oxygen is generated by aerobic respiration of people and animals to form carbon dioxide to complete the gas cycle.

Wastes generated by life, such as urine and feces from humans and animals, are degraded by microorganisms and returned to the biosphere for plant autotrophic organisms to absorb.

The water cycle is also completed in the system, water is first photosynthesized by plants, decomposed into oxygen and organic matter, and animals and plants then oxidize organic matter to produce water.

The conditions in nature are extremely complex, for example, in a small forest area, the diversity of species reaches an astonishing degree, and the various biological processes are naturally unified in time.

When plants lose leaves, when leaves decay, what microorganisms and bacteria decompose, what nutrients become in the soil, when flowering, how many bees come to pollinate, which herbivores collect fruits, which carnivores are distributed, what climatic conditions are, and the impact of the change of seasons, so a completely self-sufficient ecosystem is very difficult to establish.

But if you grow some vegetables, raise some small animals, manual intervention, then it is much simpler, first of all, the planting of vegetables does not need sunlight, you can also use light to make plants grow normally, but also control the light time to adjust the progress of plant growth, and then you also have to control the amount of water, as well as the nutrients needed for flowering and fruiting, which are additionally added, so it is not a self-sufficient system.

Assuming that this is a completely closed system of the space capsule, the loss of energy is inevitable, fast or slow, the human body needs to consume heat and water, the capsule must maintain temperature, humidity, etc., as well as the energy of attitude adjustment, because space is very cold.

Earth-like ecosystems can get a lot of sunlight, but capsules don’t have these energy sources.

Of course, this advanced ecosystem, brilliant technology companies are still exploring, and the completely self-sufficient ecosystem is the system needed for deep space exploration.

It takes a lot of energy to control ecology, but in deep space exploration, every piece of energy is very precious.

Depending on the function, the ecosystem can be divided into four parts:

Atmospheric management unit – carbon dioxide and oxygen balance, air pollutant monitoring and treatment, atmospheric composition monitoring and control, atmospheric pressure monitoring and control, large air temperature, humidity control, etc.;

Food supply units – bio-organic production and food processing;

Water management unit – water storage and distribution, water regeneration, water quality monitoring;

Waste treatment units – waste collection and storage, metabolic waste treatment, etc.

Why should this be? Because space is vast, space is measured in light years and is almost endless.

If space exploration is to be carried out, sometimes it takes countless years to reach the goal, and if the imbalance of the ecosystem leads to environmental degradation, the immortals cannot bear to survive in a vacuum for a long time.

The spaceship of the future is a space city, a city flying in space, fully enclosed and self-sufficient, with lakes, trees, streams, and so on.

There are countless people living in this city, almost no one needs to do anything, intelligent robots take care of all control tasks in the space city, and people only act as managers.

The living area is divided into several areas: residential, commercial, ecological and administrative, and people are very comfortable with their daily routine.

Second, the temperature regulation system.

The environment in space is very extreme and harsh, because the surrounding is a vacuum environment, so if once exposed to sunlight, the temperature of the object will continue to rise, and it can only be cooled by heat source radiation, but the cooling rate of this radiation cooling is very slow.

Objects in space radiate energy into space all the time, and if the object is not exposed to sunlight, then the object will constantly cool down to absolute zero.

Therefore, a temperature regulation system must be built inside the space city to keep the temperature of the entire city at a good level.

The ring city is through the pipeline to achieve temperature control, the entire city outer wall installed a lot of pipes, the pipeline added helium, because the boiling point of helium is very low, close to absolute zero at low pressure, can always keep the temperature regulation pipeline to keep smooth.

Third, the access control system.

Because the city is a simulated flood continent, the air pressure inside the city is very high, once the hatch is opened, the air inside will be squeezed out of the city, so it is necessary to retain the air in the city to prevent the air from flowing into space, which is achieved through the entry and exit control system.

Fourth, the radiation protection system.

Space is full of cosmic radiation, especially proton flow, electron flow, solar wind, gamma ray flow, etc. that appear from time to time in space, this radiation will directly damage human DNA, proteins, if the dose is small, it is fine, if the dose is large, it is very terrifying.

In the Flood Barren Continent, part of it will be blocked by the magnetic field of the Flood Barren Continent, part of it will be blocked by the air, and the rest is basically very little.

But if in space, this ray will not be blocked, so the space city must build a magnetic field radiation protection system, and at the same time need to put a shield on the city.

Fifth, the energy system.

A city is very energy-consuming, and it is necessary to give space cities an endless supply of energy, in fact, the best way is to build a nuclear fusion reactor, but this technology has fallen into a bottleneck, lack of room temperature superconductor materials, so it can only be replaced by battery systems and solar power plants.

The space project was supposed to build a giant space laboratory to study superconductors, superalloys, super-strength materials and other materials for a variety of uses.

With these materials, the Flood Empire could produce stronger spaceships with larger volumes, stronger defenses, greater power, and longer service life.

If you carry out starry sky exploration in the future, it will directly be a space city to take off, instead of building a city in space like today.

If the goal is achieved, Fang Hao is confident that the control area of the Flood Barren Empire will be increased by dozens of times, with a larger population and stronger strength.

At the same time as the construction of the space city, the underground city construction of planet 001 has also entered the climax, but due to the priority of supporting the space city and 6G network construction, the progress of the underground city is slightly slower.
