Chapter 406 Nano Frenzy

Time slowly slipped away in the busy work, the impact of the war was slowly smoothed out, and everything was moving in the normal direction.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since the interstellar war of "Dig 114".

In this year, the Deep Space was finally roughly repaired. Of course, it can only be roughly... The recovery of various weapons and equipment is not so fast at all, and various details are estimated to take several years.

Seeing the increasingly reduced material warehouses, Yu Yifeng, the helmsman, became more and more unhappy. He always had a sense of irritability of eating up the mountain...

Moreover, the recent statistics of resource usage exceeded the standard again, making him feel angry and having nowhere to vent.

Resources are life!

But no matter what, the Deep Space always needs to be repaired...

After several emergency turns, the spacecraft has left the biggest danger zone and is still in the superluminal state. The image outside the window seems to have never changed...

Nothing outside can be detected!

I don’t know if "Dig 114" has been nuclearized under the enemy’s anger, and I don’t know if there are still enemy troops behind...

Yu Yifeng sighed deeply.

There are things to worry about, but there are also things to be happy about.

This year is a year of recuperation after the war. More importantly... science has taken an important step forward!

…

"...Nano robots are the key research direction in the future, not only for war, but also for people's livelihood projects. With our current technology, we can study and manufacture simple nano robots of 10,000 nanometers, which is the size of red blood cells..."

"Its difficulties are mainly divided into two aspects: manufacturing and design. The manufacturing difficulties can be solved by Gaia's biological 'Ling'. Now we are mainly facing the design problem..."

"...Nano robots are divided into two types: self-replicating and non-self-replicating..."

On the stage is physicist Felix, who is explaining a newly published major paper with a red face... a major theoretical breakthrough in nanotechnology!

They used "Ling" to create a very, very small... silicon-based chip the size of a red blood cell!

There are several experts in the audience who are asking questions enthusiastically. It seems that some questions have tickled Felix's itch. As he spoke, he was also gesticulating with his hands and feet.

"...In fact, replicable robots are more complicated, because replication is an entropy reduction process. Therefore, if nanorobots want to replicate or work like living things, they must absorb negative entropy from an open environment, that is,... absorb available energy!"

"Yes, energy is our current research focus..."

The Deep Space was once invaded by so many nanorobots. Even if all of them were destroyed by strong currents and high temperatures, some were not completely damaged. After these little things were collected, they became the best research objects.

This epoch-making paper, I don't know whether it was the result of the huge pressure brought by the war or the result of scientists' sudden inspiration...

"As you can see in this image, in order to solve the energy problem, we first use chemicals to supply energy. We can simulate the entire replication process through computer calculations..."

"A self-replicating nanorobot floats in a bottle of chemical agents, which contains sufficient energy and materials for it to replicate itself."

"At first, the first self-replicating nanorobot completes replication within 100 seconds, and the second replicating robot replicates in the same time, so two replicate into four, four become eight, and the speed increases in increasing multiples..."

"If this bottle of chemical agents is continuously injected and not controlled, these robots will replicate 1 ton of robots within a day, and the increase in their number after a few days will be terrible..."

"...Of course, using chemical agents as an energy source is still too limited...So, I wonder if this problem can be solved by developing wireless energy transmission technology."

...

After the meeting, Yu Yifeng was dizzy again. In fact, there were a lot of formulas and professional terms involved later, and almost everyone was dizzy.

Few people can understand the fruits of a year's labor in a few hours.

Yu Yifeng only knew that in this kind of meeting, energy and structural design issues are still a difficult point.

"A chip the size of a red blood cell is pitifully slow..."

However, it is always a good thing to get started.

In the meeting, scientists collectively believed that the ability of Gaia's biological "Ling" itself could be used to manufacture nanorobots.

Therefore, the difficulties of manufacturing technology can be temporarily skipped, and the main problem is still the design.

This is a matter of course. If "Ling" is allowed to build warships and cannons, it is simply the biggest waste!

Among them, the design difficulties are numerous, and there are still many difficulties to overcome. It can be said to be a new set of theories. However, the reverie brought by nanorobots... is still very beautiful, which also brings the greatest motivation to researchers.

"Scientists are developing various nanorobots that can enter the microscopic world of the human body based on the principles of molecular pathology. It is expected to be used to remove harmful substances, repair damaged genes, activate cell energy, maintain human health and prolong human life..."

"This kind of medical nanorobot is still in the initial stage of research. It can be as large as a few millimeters in length and as small as a few microns in diameter. There are about twenty-seven research groups working on these things..." Yu Yifeng looked at the information and whispered Read it out.

"There is no progress yet, but what is certain is that in the next few decades, nanorobots will bring about a real revolution. It will make people live longer and overcome almost most diseases. Human beings do not need to be afraid of the outside world. Star Bacteria.”

“Not only that, but the bold application ideas of nanotechnology also include using nanomachines to organize the obtained carbon atoms one by one and turn them into exquisite diamonds... Although the demand for diamonds is not large, it is an idea anyway... Molecules "

"Since diamond can... other things should also be possible. Reintegrate air molecules into the required parts... Isn't this great? We can use nanorobots to directly build cars and spaceships!"

Yu Yifeng was talking to himself, and his expression became a little excited: "...Isn't this the ability that Ling has..."

"This is difficult..." Yuriko shook her head.

Yu Yifeng was unmoved and began to say excitedly: "No matter what, nanorobots can be used in military, people's livelihood... no matter which field, it will take a few years. How many years do you think it will take?"

Yuriko shook her head and said angrily: "As a person who is not engaged in scientific research, you really think of the problem too simply. Nanorobots are so small, it is difficult to store large-scale energy and perform complex tasks... "

"Building a battleship out of thin air using nano-robots... You can even speak in layman terms like this."

"Compared with a nanorobot, which one do you think is more complicated?"

"There is no doubt that it is a nanorobot!" Unlike Yi Feng's answer, Lilyzi gave an unexpected answer: "The simplest nanorobot is a thousand or ten thousand times more complex than Yu Yan!"

She shook her head and sighed: "You know, a human red blood cell is equivalent to the simplest cell. If we want to fabricate it from the atomic and molecular level, the complexity has exceeded our imagination, but there are only several kinds of it. Simple function: transport oxygen and also some carbon dioxide.”

"What about a nanorobot? With our capabilities, it can only be simpler than red blood cells... Building a robot from the most microscopic level is similar to fabricating a microscopic biological cell! It's difficult, it's really difficult!"

"If you want to control hundreds of billions of nanorobots at the same time and build a complex spaceship... I suggest you don't even think about it. How much calculation and complexity does this require?"

"It is somewhat possible to control a robot and build a square piece of iron... This is the first goal we need to achieve at this stage."

Yu Yifeng shook his head indifferently and laughed loudly: "Of course people have to have dreams. If nanorobots can be used to build battleships, then industrial production capacity will not be a problem at all... Although... even in L4 civilization, It is difficult to realize this dream, but what if it comes true..."

"It's only one year now. We still have a long, long time in the future."

When Yu Yifeng said this, he changed the topic and said, "Speaking of which, how do you decide to solve the energy reserve problem?"

Talking about scientific issues, Yuriko said very seriously: "First, it is wireless energy transmission, which is equivalent to using a magnetic field to transmit energy. This solution is the most popular and simplest solution."

"Second, effective energy sources that are accessible to themselves...that is, chemicals, such as medical nanorobots, can use blood sugar in the blood..."

"The third... of course is to use the vacuum zero-point energy in the Casimir effect! This is the ultimate energy source, but in terms of theory, there are still many things to make breakthroughs..."

"We are now starting from the aspect of bionics, trying to make nanorobots imitate some simple cell functions... This is a big challenge, whether it is various theories or technologies..."

When she said this, the girl was not depressed, but felt confident.
