A gigantic ship is being built and some call it the incarnation of Noah's ark. Mentioned because this ship will be used by scientists to find solutions to climate change that can threaten Planet Earth.
The ship is named Earth 300. It is designed to accommodate up to 160 scientists from around the world. They are gathered to conduct joint research or collaboration with the support of advanced technology on board.
"We love life and want to ensure that humanity survives into the future," reads one sentence on its website.
Its creator is an entrepreneur named Aaron Oliviera. He hopes Earth 300 can draw people's attention to science and especially to climate change.
"This ship is designed to capture people's attention as well as their hearts and imaginations. If we want to make a big difference, we need the help of people of all ages, ages, backgrounds and all types of intelligence," he said.
Earth 300 is a nuclear-powered ship with no emissions and has 22 advanced laboratories. It is almost 500 meters long and consists of 13 floors. The design is very futuristic with a circular building in the middle.
There are built-in sensors, artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning to direct data processing. Earth 300 is also equipped with a quantum computer to deal with the big data it collects. Oliviera called it a running computer.
Of course with all that sophistication, the manufacturing cost is not cheap. It is estimated that it costs between 350 to 500 million pounds.
Then in addition to scientists researching climate change, this ship can also be boarded by VIP guests at a high cost. For example, for a 10-day VIP trip, the cost is USD 3 million. If nothing goes wrong, the plan is that the Bumi 300 will start sailing in 2025.
