Homo sapiens.

Li Qingye was immersed in scientific research in the Pangu world, but he was very clear about the situation of the earth at this time.

In the annual work report some time ago, he gave an order to the Science Business Department to prepare a new plan.

At this time, Jiang Mingxuan, the person in charge of the Science Business Department, took a dozen ecological environment researchers to select suitable areas around the world to carry out Li Qingye's orders.

This plan is called "specimen plan".

As the name suggests, it is to collect all the current creatures on the earth and make specimens.

This specimen can be alive or in genetic form, or it can be a seed.

Therefore, Jiang Mingxuan plans to decompose the specimen project into three parts, the first is the earth biological gene database; the second is the frozen seed and reproductive cell bank; the third is the small ecological circle.

At present, Jiang Mingxuan has inspected three areas, namely the Central Pacific Ocean, the Amazon Rainforest, and the Sahara Desert.

Originally, these areas had no economic benefits, except for tourism and mining, there were basically no other industries.

Therefore, Jiang Mingxuan directly circled many areas for the construction of artificial ecological circles, including 5 small islands in the South Pacific, the 5000 square kilometers of the Amazon Rainforest, and the 5000 square kilometers of the Sahara Desert.

In addition, he also asked the branches in various places to establish artificial ecological circles and seed banks according to the ecology and topography of the area.

He was not too worried about the ecology of the tropics.

After all, during the peak of the ice age, the ice sheet did not reach the tropics, which is the safest area in the ice age.

What really attracted Jiang Mingxuan's attention was actually the subtropical, temperate and subfrigid zones, as well as the alpine and plateau regions.

He is currently taking a passenger airship over the Arctic Ocean.

In the Arctic Ocean in January, there is no other color except white. The ice surface reflects most of the sunlight, and the heat from the sun's radiation does not remain much, which makes the ice area very cold.

The short day quickly slipped away, and the long polar night fell.

Last year was the active period of sunspots, and this year's solar activity is also relatively active.

This can be seen from the colorful aurora outside the window.

"Minister, arrive at Polar Bear Station in 20 minutes."

"understood."

Two or 10 minutes later, the passenger airship slowly landed on the ice in the fierce cold wind.

The Polar Bear Station is located in the northwest of the Barents Sea and the southeast of the Svalbard Islands. It is not on an island itself, but on a shelf. It adopts a design scheme similar to that of an offshore drilling platform.

Of course, the scale of the offshore scientific research platform built by the wealthy Homo sapiens company must be very large.

The radius of the entire Polar Bear Station is 2.1 kilometers, and the sea surface height is 320 meters. This does not look like a scientific research station, but a fortress.

Of course, it is not a problem to say that it is a fortress. After all, the White Bear Station is equipped with a lot of self-defense weapons, including death beam cannons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

The 17 scientific research stations arranged by Homo sapiens in the Arctic Ocean are all fortress-type bases.

The passenger airship just stopped on the dome platform of the White Bear Station.

The airship's passenger compartment just stops above the special elevator, and the elevator is lifted up as a whole and connected to the bottom of the passenger compartment. People can directly take the elevator down to the interior of the White Bear Station.

The management of this kind of scientific research station is dualistic. The scientific research business belongs to the Science Business Department, and the security business belongs to the External Security Business Department.

Dr. Lang Ning, the captain of the scientific expedition team at the White Bear Station, happened to be in the base today, so Jiang Mingxuan went directly to his office.

In the base, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, simulating the autumn weather in the northern temperate zone.

There are many scientific researchers, supporting service personnel, and security personnel living here, with a total of 1.3 people.

Inside Dr. Ronning's office.

"Mr. Minister, what are you doing here at the North Pole?" Ronning asked curiously while pouring hot coffee.

Jiang Mingxuan took the hot coffee and didn't make a fool of himself: "The chairman has arranged a new task for our Science Department, called the Specimen Project."

"The specimen project? Is it to collect creatures from the Arctic Ocean? There are more than 20 polar bears in our station."

Jiang Mingxuan shook his head: "If it's just to collect specimens, I don't need to come here in person. The chairman wants us to build some artificial ecosystems in various regions based on the climate types around the world, and then preserve the local species as much as possible. "

Dr. Ronning put down the hot coffee, with a surprised expression on his face: "Man-made ecosystem? This is a big project!"

After all, the interior of Baixiong Station is composed of more than a dozen small ecological circles.

But this kind of ecological circle is obviously not enough.

The scale must be expanded by at least 100 times to barely maintain a relatively stable ecosystem. This requires frequent manual intervention to ensure stable operation.

Jiang Mingxuan didn't think this project was difficult. With Homo Sapiens' current productivity, it would not be too much pressure to build a batch of artificial ecosystems with a radius of about 30 kilometers.

"Actually, we don't need to be too anxious. After all, the company has already collected most of the genetic samples of animals and plants. Now we are just adding an insurance policy."

Dr. Ronning asked: "The minister's idea is to build an artificial ecosystem at Polar Bear Station?"

"Let's see! The evaluation team and I haven't made a final decision yet."

"Then what do I need to do?"

"The doctor only needs to cooperate with us in geological and environmental investigations."

"no problem."

Jiang Mingxuan and his party ate dinner at Baixiong Station, and started to get busy the next day.

They need detailed local hydrological data, stratigraphic data, and most importantly, species data.

The Science Division is very serious about building this super-large man-made ecosystem, because this thing is not only used by natural creatures, but can also be transformed into a refuge for new humans when necessary.

Therefore, all kinds of protection and facilities must be complete enough.

There is no way for Jiang Mingxuan to guarantee 100% of the future.

Even if the free world does not harm the earth, it does not mean that there are no natural disasters.

For example, the Yellowstone volcano erupted suddenly, the African mantle plume erupted, and a large asteroid hit the earth.

Or a supernova explodes in a nearby galaxy, sending a gamma-ray burst toward Earth.

Or this time the ice age breaks through the norm and the earth enters snowball mode.

In short, all kinds of dangers may appear.

Some people may think that this is unfounded worry.

However, many people have not noticed a situation, that is, Homo Sapiens has approached the first level of civilization at this time.

In this case, the problem Homo sapiens needs to consider is no longer the weather changes on the earth, but a higher level of natural disasters.

In the face of global climate change, super volcanic eruptions, gamma ray bursts, asteroid impacts and other disasters, natural human forces are helpless, but Homo sapiens companies have the power to resist.

Since there is the power to resist, why sit and wait for death?

Therefore, the Homo sapiens company is now engaged in space exploration, building alien bases, and building a super-large artificial ecosystem, which is to prepare for a rainy day.

This is not unfounded worry, but that you can do as much as you have confidence.

The so-called end of the world is a relative concept.

If this ice age occurred in ancient times, humans at mid-to-high latitudes would have already received their lunch.

But now the major forces can still persist tenaciously. This is the confidence brought by strength and technology.
