Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 634 Doomsday Library

Latest URL: Snow.

Very thick snow.

The door of the vault at the end of the corridor was covered with frost. Bi Fang reached out and touched the wall, feeling the snowflakes that had already crystallized. An astonishing coldness spread from his fingertips to his palm, as if he was about to freeze blood.

When Bi Fang took his hand away, the fingertips and the frost were frozen, and there were still broken ice crystals, a layer of white frost.

The temperature here is even lower than the outside world.

And behind this big iron gate full of frost is the real seed warehouse.

A lot of levels, let everyone see what is the real layer-by-layer defense.

The iron gate opened, and the cold frost visible to the naked eye floated out, and the cold wind poured into the tunnel, making Bi Fang squinted. After a while, the light and shadow became clear, and he could see the real scene inside Noah's Ark.

big.

very big.

Like a giant warehouse.

A room the size of a super-large conference room is lined with shelves similar to a supermarket, and boxes on each shelf hold seed samples from various countries.

Bi Fang walked in rows, from Europe to Asia, from Norway to China, and every seed bag was filled with information.

"The seeds from each country will be packaged in several large boxes. Seed samples from various countries are transported to the island by air, some in wooden boxes and some in cardboard boxes. After delivery, the box samples are checked by X-ray, and the samples are not It will be opened."

Barrett and Bi Fang interspersed between the "shelves" and introduced them one by one.

"The samples were mostly packed in tinfoil bags, and each bag contained 200-300 seeds."

"The seed bank stores backup samples, and various institutions have physical samples to store locally. These institutions are also seed banks built by various countries, but due to natural and man-made disasters, they need to be backed up in the doomsday seed bank."

Some viewers raised questions, but there were immediate objections.

Bi Fang relayed this question to Barrett, but unexpectedly received a positive answer from Barrett.

These seeds have been used once since they were built.

The audience was silent for a while.

"The construction of this doomsday library started in 2005, it was completed and put into use in 2008, and it was never used in 1999." Bi Fang said seriously.

Barrett was a little lost when he heard it. He looked at the bullet screen. It was in both Chinese and English, but even in English, he didn't know the combination of words. Did something happen in 1999?

You seemed to be only nine years old at the time?

"what are you guys saying?"

"It's a joke." Bi Fang was quite embarrassed.

"Okay." Barrett shrugged, didn't care, and continued, "It was Yu Youli who was still in the civil war at that time."

"In September 2015, Yu Youli's civil war resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and forced about 11 million people to become refugees. During the war, the main seed bank in Aleppo in the Middle East was damaged and cannot continue. use."

"The war prompted Yu Youli to take out seeds from the 'Doomsday Seed Vault' for the first time. Their researchers applied to us to retrieve 325 boxes of 116,000 copies of crop seeds previously deposited here. ' of nearly 130 boxes to sow seeds and reshape agriculture."

"That was the first time since the establishment of the World Seed Vault, and the only time so far."

The water friends were shocked, it was Yu Youli?

"This seed bank has the seeds that have been seen and harvested in the history of the development of human agricultural civilization in the past 2000 years. These are the fruits and crystallization of the hard work of farmers in the past few thousand years. They link our past and future agricultural development. ."

Yu Youli's situation made everyone realize that it is very necessary to establish a seed bank.

"Each warehouse can store 1.5 million samples. At present, only one warehouse is open for use, and the rest are still closed."

"In addition to food, there are also many rare plant seed backups,"

"Our aim is to provide a safety net against accidental loss of species diversity in the event of a major global or regional event."

"It functions like a safe deposit box in a bank, allowing specialized organizations or governments to hold seed for 'deposits,' and only they have access."

"So theoretically, no tourists are allowed to visit here. In history, only one reporter has ever visited here. Mr. Bi Fang can be said to be the second."

Barrett looked up at the drone in midair and smiled.

With the passage of time, although Bi Fang did not deliberately use it as a gimmick, UU reading www.uukanshu. com, but the identity on this aspect has long been circulated.

In order to facilitate the security check when boarding the plane, gradually everyone knew about it, and everyone knew that there was such a thing.

The whole warehouse is huge and very cold.

It is nearly ten degrees lower than outside.

Various sensors and cameras are also installed in the seed bank, which can be monitored remotely and in real time.

Bi Fang saw with his own eyes a camera was moving closely following them.

"Actually, there are more than 1,700 gene banks in the world, but many of them have potential safety hazards. For example, the seed banks of Achong Khan and Yin Laton were completely destroyed, and Tariff Ice was damaged due to natural disasters such as typhoons."

"Natural and man-made disasters may cause the destruction of rare collections. This is similar in nature to the extinction of dinosaurs. If it disappears, it will disappear completely. It is precisely because we recognize the fragility of the gene pools around the world that we have created the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. thoughts."

Barrett's words were full of confidence.

Although the indoor temperature itself is not high, a cooling device is still set up to ensure that the temperature of the seed bank is kept at minus 18 degrees Celsius, so that the seeds can be stored for a long time, which can theoretically be stored for thousands of years.

"In terms of functional design, the seed bank can withstand most natural and man-made disasters, including those affected by asteroid impacts or nuclear wars."

"At the same time, its remote location also adds a lot to its own security. This is the archipelago closest to the Arctic, and there is no place more desolate and remote than this."

Barrett said as he walked, which opened the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room.
