00:00You have to dispose of about 130 millions of dollars.
00:03What would you do with such a fortune?
00:05Would you like to travel in space or would you like to acquire an island?
00:09There are many ways to spend such a sum,
00:12but an anonymous investor chose to use it to build an extravagant city marine.
00:18The project is not yet finished, but many people work to concretize it.
00:23If all happens as planned,
00:25living in the mountains could, in a close future future,
00:27become a reality.
00:31A last year, a carrière of calcaire was located near the border,
00:36in the United States.
00:37It was inonded in the 1990s,
00:40forming a deep deep lake of 80 meters.
00:42Today, a vast construction of construction is now.
00:45The cars and materials,
00:48while the workers, in combination,
00:50assemble an important modules,
00:52similar to the giant sous-marins futurists.
00:54These structures, called sentinelles,
00:57constitueront the buildings of a small village submarine.
01:00The engineers,
01:04inoxidable materials,
01:05able to support an immersion
01:08all up to 200 meters deep.
01:10It's the superior limit of the zone crepuscular,
01:14a space where the solar light penetrates.
01:16The big calmars,
01:18and other mysterious creatures,
01:20evolve.
01:21Imagine you in a hotel room,
01:23open the eyes to discover a giant calmars
01:26you fix in the mirror.
01:27Or even more,
01:28a immense eye you wake up.
01:30This kind of scene could become reality
01:32if the sentinelles were to be installed
01:34with success in the abyss.
01:36But let's move on to our lacustre.
01:39This project is called DEEP.
01:41Its ambition is to make the living sous-marine
01:44as nice as possible.
01:46Inside the residential modules,
01:48the teams manage the rooms,
01:50the rooms,
01:51the rooms,
01:52the baths,
01:52as well as large rooms of observation.
01:54The access is effected to the board
01:56of small submersibles.
01:58However,
01:59this is not as simple as a course in taxi.
02:01To live in the water,
02:03you have to follow a rigorous training
02:03of the supervision of qualified instructors
02:06and exercise in the simulator
02:08of the subaquatic.
02:09The cost of life will probably be exorbitant,
02:12but it should be worth it.
02:13At least we will eat well.
02:15At least we will eat well.
02:15A chef-cuisinier
02:16will be able to eat a menu
02:17and the food will be conditioned
02:19in the sachets hermetic
02:20in order to preserve the aromas
02:22and nutrients.
02:23The whole thing is prometteur,
02:25but the question is
02:25who will finance this company?
02:28The mystery is entier.
02:29The project DEEP
02:30is supported by a famous
02:31engineer,
02:32who has already invested
02:33over 100 millions of dollars.
02:35It is worth noting
02:36that this initiative
02:37is not the first of the genre
02:38in terms of marine habitat.
02:40Ainsi,
02:40in 1962,
02:42Jacques-Yves Cousteau,
02:43a famous explorer explorer
02:44and plonger,
02:45inaugura the subaquatic
02:47Conchelf 1.
02:48It was a cylinder
02:50in a steel
02:50installed at 10 meters
02:51in the depth
02:52in which two plongers
02:54lived during a week.
02:55In 1970,
02:57several women
02:57also spent 14 days
02:59in the Caraïbes
03:00at a depth
03:01of about 15 meters.
03:03The goal of this experience
03:04was to study
03:05the human psychology
03:06in an environment
03:07exigues
03:08comparable
03:08to that of a space
03:09spacecraft.
03:10Without great surprise,
03:12this project was in part
03:12supported by the NASA.
03:14The bay of vitrées
03:15tournées
03:16towards the marine marine,
03:17the cuisine raffinée,
03:19the festivities
03:19marine
03:20and the isolation
03:21beyond all civilisations.
03:23All this
03:24is seductive.
03:24But if we put
03:25an instant
03:26on the side
03:26of its
03:28exploration
03:32of the ocean
03:33many marine biologists
03:36think
03:36that the exploration
03:37of the ocean
03:38is more effective
03:39when it comes to the inside.
03:41The plonger
03:41has indeed
03:42limits.
03:44Our physiological
03:44constraints
03:45restrain
03:46the time
03:46under the water
03:47to about 80 minutes.
03:49The marine cities
03:50would offer
03:51the possibility
03:52to travel
03:53throughout
03:53in the entire
03:54But the challenge
03:55remains the prolongation
03:56of the marine marine
03:57in its natural environment.
03:59In the middle of the 1990s,
04:02who had
04:03entrepris the study
04:04of the development
04:04and the alimentation
04:05of the corals
04:06had transferred
04:07to the laboratory.
04:09They found
04:10that the reactions
04:11of the corals
04:12varied considerably
04:13according to
04:14what they evolved
04:15in artificial environment
04:16or in plain water.
04:18Their behavior
04:19in captivity
04:20differ clearly
04:21from the observed
04:22in their natural habitat.
04:24These marine cities
04:25could also represent
04:26an aubaine
04:27for the archaeologists
04:28specialized
04:28in the study
04:29of the englouties
04:30through history.
04:32Moreover,
04:33they could play
04:34a crucial role
04:35in the natural disasters.
04:37In case of
04:37a tsunami
04:39or volcanic eruption
04:39engineers
04:41and scientists
04:41could create
04:42an aquatic refuge
04:43as well as
04:44the project
04:45Subbiosphere 2.
04:46These circular structures
04:47capable
04:48of submerging
04:49would offer
04:50a temporary
04:51to 50
04:52to 100 people
04:53allowing
04:54to survive
04:55in all
04:55security
04:56at the distance
04:57of the danger.
04:58The marine cities
04:58could be a
05:00promising answer
05:00to the problems
05:01of the population
05:02but they are not
05:03without inconvenience.
05:05The oceans
05:05already have the effects
05:06of our pollution.
05:08What would happen
05:08if we were to establish
05:10the marine life
05:11in laboratory
05:12is one thing.
05:13One of the places
05:14tourism centers
05:15is one another.
05:16One of these
05:17buildings
05:17the Water Discus
05:19will be implemented
05:20at a maximum
05:21of 11 meters.
05:22It includes
05:2321 rooms
05:24as well as
05:25a restaurant
05:25offering a view
05:26imprenable
05:27on the sea.
05:28If the time is
05:29pleasant,
05:30some specialists
05:31doubt
05:32that a prolonged presence
05:33may be
05:33on the health
05:35due to a lack
05:36of exposure
05:37to the sun.
05:38There is,
05:39a few weeks
05:40could appear
05:41instructive.
05:42The main challenge
05:43that the concept
05:44of laboratories,
05:45hotels
05:46or
05:46marine facilities
05:47is in the
05:48putting in place
05:49reliable systems
05:49and security.
05:51It is imperative
05:52to maintain
05:53air,
05:54humidity
05:54and temperature
05:55as comfortable
05:56as possible
05:57for the occupants.
05:58However,
05:59it requires
06:00a considerable amount
06:00of energy.
06:01Today,
06:03modern modern buildings
06:04depend still
06:05of energy sources
06:06located in the surface.
06:08However,
06:09scientists ambition
06:11completely
06:12autonomous
06:13in exploiting
06:14the magnetic
06:15waves
06:15and the solar panels
06:16at high level.
06:18It is also essential
06:19to adopt an architecture
06:20adaptable
06:21for these structures.
06:22Instead of
06:22covering the city
06:23subaquatic
06:24of an immense
06:25cupola,
06:25it is much more
06:26judicious
06:27to create
06:27a large large
06:28of buildings.
06:29They must be
06:31designed
06:31with a
06:31concrete
06:32and
06:33of
06:33water
07:02and
07:02of
07:02a
07:02water
07:03water
07:03from the
07:04in the
07:06But
07:07this
07:09is not
07:09the
07:10for humans. So you need to flow from the surface. This one can be distributed in the city,
07:17then combined with a specific substance, the sodasorb, which reacts with the carbon dioxide
07:22to eliminate it. The ideal would be to be able to produce oxygen directly in the
07:27cities marine, without depending on the outside sources. For this, it would be to
07:32manage a plant in a plant that is capable of photosynthesis. However, these vegetals
07:37devraient alors se contenter d'une lumière artificielle en lieu et place du soleil.
07:41Si l'on envisage une autonomie totale, les habitants pourraient s'approvisionner
07:45directement dans l'océan. Il suffirait d'enfiler équipements de plongée, masques et bouteilles
07:50d'oxygène, puis de sortir par un sas étanche. A l'aide de harpons et de filets, il serait alors
07:56possible de capturer son repas. Attention toutefois à surveiller ses réserves d'oxygène et à ne pas
08:01trop s'éloigner. Frire son poisson à la poêle est à éviter, car les odeurs seraient envahissantes.
08:07Dans un habitat sous-marin, l'air, confiné comme dans une cabine d'avion, ne se renouvelle
08:12pas facilement, ce qui accentue les émanations. Peut-être qu'un jour, des espaces de cuisson
08:17spécifiques verront le jour. Mais en attendant, il faudra se contenter d'aliments en conserve ou
08:22déshydratés. Envie de bouger un peu ? Faites une promenade sous-marine. Au lieu d'une bouteille,
08:28vous pouvez utiliser un tuyau reliant votre masque à une réserve d'air dans votre logement. Mais
08:33attention, votre exploration sera limitée. La longueur du tuyau impose une distance à ne pas
08:38dépasser. Air, alimentation, structure sûre et l'eau potable ? À l'avenir, des filtres intégrés à ces
08:45hôtels pourraient nous permettre de dessaler l'eau de mer. Cette ressource pourrait aussi
08:49provenir de la condensation formée dans l'habitat ou même des sécrétions humaines. Cela peut
08:54surprendre, mais les astronautes, par exemple, utilisent depuis longtemps des dispositifs capables
08:59de recycler leur fluide en eau potable.
