Based on the brightness of the cursor in the system, he could clearly see his current level of mastery of these advanced technologies.
If the brightness of the cursor is divided into a level, the brightness of the cursor symbolizing helium-tri-fusion has reached 90% of the normal brightness!
This also fits Lu Yongchang's situation at the time.
The biggest obstacle to the launch of helium-triple fusion is the raw material problem.
As long as the raw material of helium-3 is solved, helium-3 fusion can enter the application stage at any time.
Apart from helium-tri-fusion technology, the second brightest technology is biosphere technology.
It's about 50% bright.
This is normal.
After all, the Biosphere 2 project was not an idea first proposed by Lu Yongchang.
It was originally a miniature artificial ecological circulation system built by the United States.
As for Biosphere 1, it is naturally the Earth on which human beings depend for survival.
The original intention of the project was to demonstrate the feasibility of a closed ecosystem to support and sustain human life in outer space.
Simply put, it is whether humans can recreate a stable closed ecosystem outside the earth.
This technology has great significance for interstellar exploration.
Whether it is a starship traveling between stars or extraterrestrial colonization, artificial ecosystem technology is an indispensable prerequisite technology.
The Biosphere 2 project in the United States covers an area of 13,000 square meters and is about eight stories high. The main building is a glass building with a sealed steel frame structure.
In order to completely simulate the Earth's environment, Biosphere 2 simulated most of the Earth's environments, including deserts, swamps, thorn bushes, rainforests, tropical grasslands, and even oceans.
In addition, in order to simulate the earth's ecological environment more realistically, about 4,000 species were introduced into the circle, including about 3,000 animals and plants and about 1,000 microorganisms.
In order to ensure that Biosphere 2 was completely isolated from the outside world, the United States even poured two meters thick concrete under the entire building decades ago!
In addition, all doors and windows of the Biosphere 2 in the United States are strictly sealed.
These measures make Biosphere 2 very airtight, basically equivalent to the second world.
After the project was completed, the United States sent several scientists to carry out scientific research for several years.
According to the original design of American scientists, after Biosphere 2 begins to operate, it will become a separate individual. Except for energy coming from the sun, everything else will achieve perfect self-circulation.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide will form a perfect cycle under the photosynthesis of plants, and the food for scientists will be produced by the crops inside Biosphere 2...
Everything sounds so beautiful, like a paradise.
But unfortunately, all this was just the fantasy of American scientists at the time.
After Biosphere 2 was started up, the first problem that arose was the oxygen concentration inside.
The large number of microorganisms living in the soil causes oxygen levels to drop at a rate of 0.5% per month.
As for the carbon dioxide produced after the massive consumption of oxygen, most of it is absorbed by the concrete underground.
This directly led to the collapse of the entire circulation system.
Even the change in oxygen concentration has caused uncontrollable changes in the ecosystem.
Pollinators are extinct, ants and cockroaches are rampant, rainforest plants are growing rapidly...
Even the few scientific researchers who entered quickly became extremely thin!
The final result, of course, is that pure oxygen is pumped into it by outside workers.
The moment pure oxygen was pumped into Biosphere 2, the entire project failed.
Finally, mankind's first artificial ecosystem project has become a tourist attraction where anyone can enter and visit with just a ticket.
Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
As a scientist, he felt deeply sorry for this situation.
…
"Professor Lu? Professor Lu?"
A soft call from the side interrupted Lu Yongchang's thoughts.
Lu Yongchang opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Several biology professors were looking at him expectantly: "Professor Lu, we have finished reading the plan."
Lu Yongchang chuckled: "You should all be professors who specialize in artificial ecosystems. How about this plan? Do you have anything to add?"
The leading professor looked a little serious. After a moment's silence, he whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, Professor Lu, you must have borrowed data from the United States, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but laugh.
He waved his hand casually and said, "Well, why are you talking so nicely? What's the point of borrowing or not borrowing..."
"I just changed a few obvious problems. Even if you say I copied it, I'll admit it."
"What? Is there any big problem with the project?"
There is a ready-made template right here. Is he going to be a saint and spend a lot of money to develop one himself?
This is just pure brain being kicked by a donkey!
At worst... when I succeed, I can just give the United States a verbal thank you.
The leading professor's eyes were filled with astonishment.
He didn't expect that Lu Yongchang would admit this so casually.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "There's no big problem with the project. After all, the scientific research capabilities of the United States are there."
"It's just that some small details need to be improved."
"We still need to work harder on the selection of biological species."
Lu Yongchang nodded gently: "Can you complete this project?"
The leading professor's breath suddenly choked, and he looked at Lu Yongchang in disbelief: "Lu, Professor Lu?"
He could hardly believe that such a good job would fall on him.
This is a whole big project!
After the failure of the Biosphere 2 project in the United States, ecosystem research was gradually neglected by the academic community.
Therefore, these professors basically do not receive much funding on a daily basis and are basically in a situation where they work for the love of their profession.
"Big, how much funding do you have?" He asked in a low voice with excitement flashing in his eyes and a tremor in his voice.
Lu Yongchang frowned slightly.
Expenses...
That's a problem.
After all, he had never thought about this thing before.
The chairman of the parliament and others have never placed any restrictions on his funding.
"In any case, there is enough funding!"
Lu Yongchang held it in for a long time, then said with a grunt, "Don't worry about this. If it's not enough, I'll go to the chairman of the council to ask for it for you!"
The next moment, the eyes of the professors in front of them lit up!
"Professor Lu, please believe me!"
The leading professor's eyes glowed green and he spoke with rapid breathing.
Ever since he chose this extremely unpopular research direction, he has never heard such a grand promise!
