Build 'ghost city' for scientists

An uninhabited city will be built in the US to serve scientific tests .

The AP reported The Center , the name of the uninhabited city, to be built in New Mexico state. It has an area of ​​about 32km ² and is modeled after a typical small city with a population of less than 35,000 people in the United States. The city will have highways, houses, commercial buildings, entertainment centers and parks.

Pegasus Global Holdings, the name of the company, will build The Center, claiming it is the first city in the United States to be created for scientific research. It will be the place for universities, laboratories, research facilities and the military to test new technologies. The Center also allows scientists to collaborate with investors to create a 'technology park' like Silicon Valley in California or the high-tech town of Reston in Virginia state.

Bob Brumley, managing director of Pegasus Global Holdings, said the idea of ​​building The Center stems from the fact that the company encounters numerous obstacles in testing new technologies due to the lack of space and reality. The Center will allow private companies, educational institutions, and government agencies to test new technologies in a real-world environment so that they can calculate costs and understand the limitations of new technologies. before applying them.

'For example, solar cell companies can assess the efficiency of solar cell power generation in older homes compared to new homes , ' Brumley said.

Brumley said 'ghost city' will generate money by charging for tests, selling electricity to the national grid, and renting a portion of land to the private sector to build restaurants, hotels and offices for people working in the city.

'I believe this innovative project will be a big boost to the state's economy,' said Susana Martinez, New Mexico governor.
