Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

A short period of time has passed since the completion of the Lunar Scientific Research Station. The population of people who usually live on the moon has almost doubled in a year, and has now grown to more than 50 people.

However, this population growth is not without limits.

Beginning this year, the Lunar Orbit Construction Commission announced that it will limit the increase in the number of resident people on the moon in a short period of time, and requires the management unit to maintain the current scientific research plan and the moon resource development plan as much as possible The number of resident personnel at the scientific research station shall be controlled to less than sixty.

The reason for such an arrangement is not entirely that the cost of maintaining an astronaut living in space as imagined is too high, but the reality is not allowed.

Just like the health problems faced by many megacities, although the population size of the Moon Scientific Research Station is far from the level of the city, but because there is no ecosystem that can be naturally degraded, the difficulty of solving health problems is Population growth has been magnified exponentially.

According to the needs of an adult's normal life, about one kilogram of domestic waste is generated in a day, of which metabolic waste accounts for more than 50%. For these metabolic wastes, the moon science research station has almost no way to completely dispose of it.

Even if the lunar planting unit can consume a part of the feces and urine, and let the organic matter re-enter the circulation, the efficiency of this circulation is not much.

Coupled with some bacterial and microbial contamination, health and safety has become an issue that cannot be ignored at the moon science research station. Just to transport those living wastes back to Earth, it has already taken up the transportation resources of a whole transport ship.

If the size of the population continues to expand, I am afraid that the Lunar Orbital Construction Committee will have to devise a special route for transporting feces and urine.

However, the emergence of Dr-111 active microorganisms has brought about a turn for the better.

No one knows where it came from, as if the project suddenly appeared in the database and someone was suddenly assigned to do research one day.

Although some people were curious about which big cow and where they collected such awesome microbial samples, it is still unknown because of the lack of literature.

Drinking coffee and looking at the data returned from the moon science research station on the screen, Lu Zhou's face showed such an expression.

As he guessed, this Dr-111 microorganism was not so simple.

In an aerobic environment, it will accumulate a ketone while breaking down metabolites through breathing. In fact, although this ketone is harmless to other organisms, it is Harmful.

Prolonged exposure to an aerobic environment will cause the entire microbiome to reproduce slowly and eventually self-destruct.

On the contrary, if it is under high nitrogen, carbon dioxide concentration, and light environment, this microorganism will burst out amazing reproduction ability and feeding ability.

While phagocytosing and catabolizing metabolites, it generates oxygen through photosynthesis and fixes solar energy in a special amino acid molecular chain.

Although the taste of direct consumption may not be so ideal, this special amino acid molecular chain can be digested by most organisms, that is, it can directly enter the cycle of the ecosystem.

Not only that, this creature has extraordinary tolerance to low-gravity environments, and even under the direct exposure of cosmic rays, it can maintain the stability of its overall properties through the decomposition and engulfing of its own cancer cells.

This stuff is simply an excellent waste purification substance!

It's a genius to use on the earth, and the space station and space colony are really where it should go.

After seeing the experimental report from the beginning to the end, Lu Zhou's face became more and more satisfied. Then at that moment, a flash of aura of light flashed through his mind--or a hole in his brain.

"Will this thing be some kind of artificially modified atmospheric substance?"

A civilization that entered the interstellar era created it, and then seeded it on the chaotic planet that has just formed the atmosphere to open up a colony for its own civilization.

This interesting microbe multiplies frantically in an atmosphere with high carbon dioxide concentration, grows exponentially, and even covers the entire planet's surface.

Eventually in countless star years, it acts as both a producer and a decomposer, absorbing excess carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, accelerating the evolution of the atmosphere, and allowing more carbon elements to be fixed by photosynthesis to be accessible. The organic matter directly used by the organism enters the biosphere cycle.

In the final stage, with the continuous rise of oxygen, photosynthesis gradually becomes respiration, and the generated ketones begin to kill this micro-birth and make it lose its ability to reproduce until it is completely removed from the entire ecosystem. Disappears.

After completing all these tasks, a chaotic planet covered with carbon dioxide may take only tens of star years to complete the atmospheric evolution process that originally took hundreds of millions of years to complete.

This brain hole can't stop as soon as it opens, Lu Zhou thinks more and more that this is possible.

After all, there are too few planets in the atmosphere that are suitable for the survival of carbon-based organisms, and the oxidation reaction is the way for most organisms to obtain energy.

Under the conditions of natural evolution, it may take hundreds of millions of years for a chaotic planet full of carbon dioxide and nitrogen to become a relatively livable world with prosperous species.

If a civilization has developed to the level of interstellar civilization, and the territory can be extended to hundreds of light years by means of super-light speed, it is not impossible to master the technology of planet transformation.

Even more, this is almost a necessity.

After all, the nature of civilization is the transformation of nature.

Only the beast will choose to obey.

"I didn't expect to find such an amazing thing ..."

I was shocked by my own ideas ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Lu Zhou's pupils gradually became excited.

If his idea is true, the microbes in his hands at this moment will not be as simple as a "space waste purifier", but a living fossil from a higher civilization!

Among them, it is not only the microorganisms that are worth studying, but also the biological modification technology and genetic modification technology that it may contain.

It is not clear how much can be reversed from it, but even if there is only a little harvest, it will be of great help to the human civilization in the early space age.

In addition, Lu Zhou also thought of Mars within easy reach.

It is not realistic to directly transform the atmosphere of Mars. After all, Mars' gravity is too small and there is no protection from magnetic fields. Even if an atmosphere similar to Earth is created, it will eventually be lost.

However, if a relatively closed large biosphere is established in a limited area, the feasibility is still considerable.

With this microorganism's ability to transform the environment, as long as the methods and methods used are appropriate, creating such a closed biosphere on Mars may not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou, somehow, suddenly remembered what the observer said to himself, and inexplicably raised a thought in his heart.

Everything is the best arrangement impossible.

But maybe ...

This solar system may really be "designed" ...
