The developers of the "Earth Black Box" hope to tell future civilizations how humans are creating environmental crises and how we can respond to them on a plain in Tasmania, Australia.
According to CNN reported on the 7th, the "Earth Black Box" has a thick iron plate shell, batteries and solar panels, developer Jonathan Kenborn said that this bus-sized device is indestructible under the climate crisis, which also means that even if one day humanity is destroyed, it can be preserved. "This box will become an indestructible separate ledger of the 'health' of our planet." We hope it will hold leaders accountable and inspire more people to act and react. ”
Although the black box won't be fully built until next year, the hard drive in it has been recording data and conversations since the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was held in Glasgow, England, in November. The black box, which houses storage drives powered by solar panels and batteries, will continue to download scientific data from the Internet, and its memory is expected to store data for the next 30 to 50 years, and developers will continue to conduct research to expand its capacity, the developers said.
