挪威在北極深山存種子救人類

【奧斯陸/美聯社訊】挪威政府9日宣佈,將於3月起在北極深山建設一個大型「末日洞穴」,保存逾300萬種已知植物的種子,以作為人類的糧食的「挪亞方舟」。如果地球遭遇毀滅性災難如核戰或行星撞擊後,人類可以重新種植穀物。

據中新社2月10日電,種子庫名為「斯瓦爾巴國際種子庫 Svalbard」,將建於挪威大陸以北約1000公里的斯瓦爾巴群島 Svalbard archipelago 一座山中,耗資約500萬美元,預計將於明年落 成使用。種子庫建在120米深的山中,以隧道與外界相連,隧道與洞穴內墻以混凝土建造。所有種子樣本會在-18℃的環境中儲存。就算機械冷卻系統失靈,周邊凍土層 permafrost 仍可提供天然冷凍效果。洞內設兩大儲藏室,面積各360平方米。

負責人福勒表示,種子庫投用後將儘量避免人類干預,只會每年派人檢查一次確保正常運作,不設全職員工。他表示,嚴寒地理環境可確保種子庫長期不受破壞。

Oslo(Associated Press)-The Norwegian government announced on 9 February, that a large “oasis cave” will be built in the mountain from March in North Pole. The “oasis cave” preserve over three million seeds of known plants, and it would be the “Noah’s Ark” of the human granary. If the Earth is attacked by the destructive disasters, for example the nuclear war or planet striking, people could plant cereals from the beginning.

According to Zhongxin News Agency on February 10,
The seed bank called Svalbard Global Seed Vault, about 1,000km north of mainland Norway’s the mountain of Svalbard archipelago, was chosen as the location for the vault, at the cost of about five million U.S.dollars, is expected to be next year ready for use.
The seed vault will be built 120m inside a deep mountain that connect the tunnel with the outside world, the tunnels and caves construction are made by concrete.All the seed samples will be stored at -18C.Even if the equipment fails, at least the surrounding permafrost will be provided the natural refrigeration.The caves with two storage holes, covering an area of 360 square each.

The Project Manager Fowler expressed that they would avoid meddling in the seed bank. Instead of employing a full-time employee, they would hire a person to check the organization regularly. He mentioned that the seed bank can be preserved from the destruction in the severe cold weather.

It can preserve over three million seeds of known plants, and it could be the “Noah’s ark” of the human’s food provision. If the Earth is destroyed by the destructive disasters, like the war of nucleon or planet striking, human could start from the beginning and plant cereals.

According China News Service(CNS) on 10 February, the seed bank, called Svalbard International Seed Vault, will be established in the mountains of Svalbard archipelago, about 1000 kilometers north of Norway. It takes about 5 million US dollars, and it is scheduled to open next year. The seed bank which is connected by the tunnel to the outside world is built in a 120-meter deep mountain. The tunnel and the inside wall of the cave were made of concrete. The seed samples will be stored in the conditions of -18℃. Even if the refrigeration system fails, the surrounding permafrost can still provide the natural freezing. There are two storerooms in the cave, and each one has 360 square meters.

It is respected to open next year. Seed Vault is built under 120meters in mountain. The tunnel connects with Seed Vault to outside. The tunnel and the walls in cavern are built of concrete. All of seed samples will save in -18℃environment. Although the machine cooling system is out of order, the peripheral permafrost can offer the natural freezing effect. In the cave have sited two large storages, land area of 360 square meters.
