Polymath & Mr Plantae
Green Ark & Professor Gema's Legacy
Background & Origin of the Green Ark
At a time when human civilization is on the verge of destruction due to a nuclear apocalypse, an energy crisis, and a greedy leadership ego, a polymath, as well as a doctor, artist, and a genius botanist named Professor Gema, appears as an anomalous figure. He is well aware that progress built on gunpowder and arrogance will only lead to ashes.
Long before the disaster struck and without government intervention, Gema secretly dug the ground under her own house with the construction workers. He built a sturdy and isolated underground laboratory bunker, which he named the Green Ark. This place is designed to protect the remains of artificial ecosystems, seeds, plant tissues, microorganisms, and various genetic experiments from deadly radiation on the earth's surface.
Creation of Mr. Plantae
Isolated in a laboratory that is completely dependent on an artificial ecosystem, Gema survives using genetically modified plants that are able to grow without natural sunlight and purify toxic air. However, the biggest threat to him is not radiation, but silence that squeezes the soul.
To overcome loneliness as well as continue his dream of a peaceful world, Gema activates his peak experiment. From the laboratory was born Mr. Plantae, a plant-based hybrid creature that has adaptive awareness, is able to learn, feel, and develop. With Mr. Plantae, Gema builds a mini ecosystem filled with small genetically modified animals, pollinating insects, artificial rivers, and microforests in a closed space, creating a harmonious new world in the midst of external destruction.
Mission and Final Goal
The time in the bunker is not always on their side. When the bunker system slowly weakened and death radiation began to seep in, Gema realized that her life would not be long. Towards the end of his life, he instilled all his knowledge, human values, art, and hopes into the biological core of Mr. Plantae.
The main objectives of this mission are:
Keeping the Seeds of New Civilization: Making Mr. Plantae as a guardian as well as the "seed" of future civilization that is not formed by greed and violence, but by ecological balance and compassion.
Restoring the Earth: Preparing the ecosystem, plant seeds, and botanical knowledge in the Green Ark so that in the future, when the radiation on the earth's surface subsides, Mr. Plantae can come out and reinstill a green and peaceful life on a planet that had died.
