Et Si Nous Colonisions Les Fonds Marins ?

Sympa

Imaginez si les humains pouvaient vivre au fond de l'océan ! Nous aurions des villes entières sous-marines avec des dômes et des tunnels, entourées par des créatures marines. Cela pourrait aider à résoudre le problème de surpopulation sur terre, en nous offrant un nouvel espace pour vivre. Mais ce ne serait pas facile—construire des habitations capables de résister à la pression des grands fonds marins serait un énorme défi. Nous devrions également trouver comment y acheminer de la nourriture, de l'oxygène et de l'énergie. Cela semble vraiment cool, mais coloniser le fond de l'océan nécessiterait certainement une science et une technologie sérieuses !

00:00Let's assume that everyone agrees and that all countries start to invest billions of dollars in this project.

00:07That of colonizing the bottom of the oceans.

00:09The question is, why would we need this?

00:13Probably for the same reason that undermines the possible colonization of Mars.

00:17To save the Earth from overpopulation.

00:19Why would we settle on the Red Planet if we can live under water just as well?

00:24It costs less, it's less dangerous and above all, it's not very far from home.

00:28No need to lock yourself in cryogenic capsules for years to wake up hundreds of millions of kilometers from your planet.

00:36It is much more practical to take the elevator to go down to an underwater city and enjoy the magnificent aquatic landscapes.

00:43In addition, life on Mars could cause us serious psychological problems, panic, stress, etc.

00:50What to do when you realize that you will never be able to go home again?

00:53It is better to live under millions of tons of salt water.

00:56A very good reason to choose this option is that we need more resources.

01:01The Earth currently has about 8 billion inhabitants.

01:04Some experts think that when this number reaches 10 billion, the world will start to lack food, fresh water and fuel.

01:12Agriculture and other industries will simply not be able to develop as quickly.

01:18Resources will run out and people will have to find a solution to survive.

01:22Colonization of the oceans is an ideal solution to this problem.

01:28First of all, we have very little information about the ocean.

01:31We have studied space much better than the bottom of the seas of our own planet.

01:35It is very likely that huge reserves of fuel are hidden under the seabed.

01:40Secondly, it is possible to reduce the load of our planet by about 50% if we settle in the ocean.

01:48Thirdly, there would be no logistics problem.

01:51The transportation of food, necessary equipment and building materials would only take a few hours.

01:57And if something was damaged along the way, we would just have to quickly go back to the surface to replace it.

02:03Sending objects to Mars is much more complex and expensive.

02:06Imagine that halfway, millions of kilometers from Earth, a spacecraft breaks down in the space ship carrying supplies.

02:14It would then have to wait several years before a new delivery.

02:18But above all, colonizing the oceans would be fighting against natural disasters and cataclysms.

02:25Volcanic eruptions, radioactive winters, earthquakes, tornadoes and floods.

02:31We can easily survive any disaster underwater.

02:34Yes, there are also volcanoes at the bottom of the oceans.

02:37But the consequences of their eruptions are not so dramatic.

02:40The water immediately cools the lava and prevents the ashes from spreading.

02:45We would never suffer again from the devastation caused by fires.

02:49No more burnt forests, no more polluted air.

02:51And speaking of air, there is a lot of oxygen in the ocean.

02:55More than half of the planet's oxygen reserves are reconstituted by the sea thanks to algae and phytoplankton.

03:01So don't worry, we can breathe very well.

03:05It's all about knowing how to do it underwater.

03:09When humanity decides to go through this stage and start colonizing the ocean,

03:13we must first adapt our body to high pressure.

03:16This is what we call saturation diving.

03:19Before going down to the depths, you must inhale compressed air.

03:23The nitrogen and oxygen dissolve quickly in your blood and exert pressure on your body from the inside.

03:29At the same time, the water exerts pressure on your body from the outside.

03:33In simple terms, your body finds a balance and you don't feel sick.

03:37Divers use this method when they explore the seabed.

03:43Therefore, when humans begin to colonize the ocean,

03:47they will dive equipped with compressed air bottles and oxygen masks.

03:51The main rule is to go up slowly to the surface.

03:54You have to wait for the compressed air to completely dissipate in your body.

03:58If you go up too fast, you will feel an intense pressure inside your body.

04:03The nitrogen will spread in your veins like the bubbles of a fizzy drink shaken vigorously.

04:10After being adapted, we will begin to build cities, roads and stations

04:15that will allow us to transport people from the seabed to the mainland and vice versa.

04:20This should not be too difficult,

04:22because we already have the necessary technologies for a sub-aquatic lifestyle.

04:29Welcome to Aquarius Reef Base, located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

04:34It is a small laboratory where 6 people can live for 10 days.

04:38The scientists who work there study coral reefs, marine plants and fish.

04:46The laboratory does not look modern.

04:48It looks like a rusty bathyscaphe, invaded by shells and other underwater objects.

04:52To create more beautiful buildings, people will need new underwater construction technologies.

04:57Let's imagine that global colonization has begun.

05:02Engineers use durable stainless steel and other materials capable of resisting high pressure.

05:09With the help of a loader, they bring down to the bottom of the water

05:12everything that is necessary for large-scale construction.

05:15Stations equipped with this type of device appear in all seas and oceans.

05:23Workers build, on the mainland, huge submarine workships

05:27that large ships then move to the stations.

05:30From there, they are lowered, and divers are helped by robots,

05:34install houses and other facilities at the bottom of the ocean.

05:38Each building is a kind of giant submarine with many apartments.

05:42From the inside, they look ordinary,

05:45except for the landscape that can be admired from its window.

05:48To reduce waste emissions,

05:50engineers build huge high-pressure treatment capsules in each city.

05:56But people continue to want to live near the coasts

05:59in order to have easy access to the mainland.

06:02Unfortunately, this leads to pollution problems in these areas.

06:05Tunnels are built connecting the stations to the mainland.

06:08Inside, high-speed trains run.

06:11It's a bit like an undersea metro, but much faster than those we know today.

06:17Now, people can move away from the shores and live in a cleaner environment.

06:25Once the big work is done,

06:27humanity can start to live more comfortably in the underwater cities.

06:31Scientists create filters to quickly purify seawater.

06:35And everyone has a tap that takes the water directly into the ocean

06:39and turns it into fresh water.

06:41Builders also install filters capable of extracting oxygen from the water.

06:46Electricians create underwater mills to produce energy.

06:51To get out of your home,

06:53you have to put on a spacesuit and compressed air bottles and go through a drain.

06:57People swim between buildings and talk to each other on the radio.

07:02To move around quickly,

07:04car manufacturers produce small buildings

07:07with locked cabins and powerful propeller systems.

07:10Finally, engineers create large domes

07:13where you can walk around and breathe fresh air, like on the mainland.

07:18Large clothing brands develop fashionable diving suits

07:22and practical accessories to move comfortably underwater.

07:26For example, you can attach a small heater to your clothes

07:29so you don't get cold when you swim.

07:31You can also put on larger palms

07:34with the logos of your favorite brands engraved on them.

07:38To make this lifestyle as comfortable as possible,

07:41scientists and biologists create masks that work like branches

07:45and provide people with the oxygen they need.

07:49Over time, the constant exposure to high pressures

07:53changes the physiology of the human being.

07:55In the water, we have to make more effort to move.

07:58People who often leave their homes lose a lot of calories.

08:02They become thinner and their muscles strengthen.

08:06Look at the swimming Olympic champions.

08:08Today, almost all underwater citizens look like these athletes.

08:12The temperature of our body decreases

08:14and evolution slowly turns us into cold-blooded creatures.

08:17The lack of sun makes our skin paler

08:19and we begin to look like amphibians.

08:23We learn more about the creatures of the deep,

08:26like the giant squid and other monsters.

08:28Almost every month, scientists discover new species.

08:32But at the same time, many species of fish disappear

08:35because of human activity in the ocean.

08:38The extraction of natural resources from the seabed

08:41strongly pollutes the aquatic environment.

08:43To reduce the burden on the planet,

08:45humans decide to colonize the sky.

08:48But we will address this subject in another video.
