The most important place on our planet

in #technology7 years ago

We do not reflect on the fact that in addition to the various wonders of the world and the presidential palaces on our planet, an even more important structure can exist. The object called the World Seed Storage in Svalbard is our future.

This building is located in Norway, in permafrost conditions, at 120-meter depth and at an altitude of 130 meters above sea level in Longyearbyen.

The granary is designed for 4.5 million samples of seeds, and each country on our planet has its own compartment in this bank of plants

The facility is equipped with a lock chamber and an explosion-proof door. Refrigeration plants ensure the safety of samples, and even if the devices fail, the temperature in a room will rise no more than 3 ° C in a few weeks.

Cereals are stored at a temperature of -18 ° C, since these are optimal conditions for preserving the metabolic activity of the seeds. And no, no illegal plants are allowed. In the event of a nuclear catastrophe, if you do not store marijuana in any other place, you will not find it here.

Let's hope that on our planet there will never arise such circumstances that will force us to use the reserves of this bank of plants. But just in case this place is here:
