The Artificial Age

North American Region, Seattle.

17th Biomimetic Materials Research Institute.

He Hang, who had graduated just last year, had already been working at the institute for more than half a year. His primary field of research was artificial biomimetic materials.

In fact, that was one of the reasons the institute had been established in Seattle.

It was close to the Yellowstone Volcano exclusion zone. Inside the Yellowstone Volcano exclusion zone, continuously erupting carbon dioxide and other substances were still steadily affecting the atmospheric climate.

Old-fashioned Settling Agents could only settle volcanic ash and had little effect on gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

According to research conducted by a specially established team, Yellowstone Volcano's period of geological activity might last roughly eighty to one hundred and fifty years.

During that period, the greenhouse gases Yellowstone Volcano released into the atmosphere each year amounted to around 23% of global industrial emissions in 2008.

That was an enormous figure.

Among those greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide was recovered through carbon-powder energy storage and power generation, but the remaining sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and similar gases were not, making it easy for large-scale acid rain to form.

As the global cooling trend was curbed by the greenhouse gases erupted from Yellowstone Volcano, global warming might even return in the future.

Therefore, they had to find ways to intensify carbon and sulfur sequestration, keeping atmospheric greenhouse gases at a relatively stable proportion.

In fact, after years of research, scientists had discovered that shifts between global cooling and warming were not necessarily caused by human activity. Human industrialization was merely one factor.

It was obvious when one thought about it. In Blue Star's energy structure, solar energy was its primary source of energy, followed by geothermal energy, with humanity's nuclear power coming last.
