If Zhao Zhongyao went back to the base for a turn, it would definitely be dark when he came back. This experiment is not very critical, it is the same at any time.
"Okay, that's it. I'll go back first, and I'll do this experiment tomorrow." Zhao Zhongyao said, and wanted to turn around and leave!
But as soon as he turned around, he felt something entangled on his face. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be entangled by a spider web.
"Haha, Director Liu, this is really 'There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get here.' Ah!" Zhao Zhongyao wiped off the spider webs on his face, then looked at Liu Tianming and said.
At this time, Liu Tianming also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile: "It seems that this spider web is a bit small! Your'flying insect' is a bit big. It destroyed all the webs of Spiderman."
"I'm sorry, I ruined his home." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming again and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter! Just let Spider-Man build another web." Liu Tianming said with a smile again.
In this way, Liu Tianming and Zhao Zhongyao walked out from the back of the office building together, and then came to a laboratory not far from the office building together.
This is a large military laboratory with some small machine tools.
After arriving inside, Zhao Zhongyao first handed the spider web in Liu Tianming's hand and said, "You take it first, and I'll get some very thin steel wires."
In this laboratory, there is a machine tool that can further stretch thin steel wires into very thin steel wires.
"Okay, I'll take it, you do it!" Liu Tianming said, and took the spider silk from Zhao Zhongyao's hand, then looked at Zhao Zhongyao, and began to stretch the steel wire.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao put the steel wire on a special stretching machine. After that, I began to shake a winch vigorously, so that this steel wire was continuously stretched. Finally, this steel wire, which was originally as thick as a thin iron wire, was stretched into a steel wire as thin as a spider's silk.
After pulling it, Zhao Zhongyao took the very thin steel wire off the machine tool. Afterwards, he looked at Liu Tianming again and said, "Come and feel it, whether it is spider silk that is stronger or steel wire of the same thickness."
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming took a piece of spider silk and pulled it first to feel it. After that, I took the thin steel wire that Zhao Zhongyao gave him and felt it again.
From this comparison, Liu Tianming felt that the steel wire was not strong at all. When the steel wire is as thin as a spider's silk, it feels like a thin noodle, and it will break as soon as you touch it. And spider silk, although it is also very thin. The flexibility is very good. It can be stretched very long without breaking.
"Zhongyao, it seems that what you said is true! When this steel wire is made into spider silk, it is really not as strong as spider silk." Liu Tianming really felt the gap between the two. He now has to believe what Zhao Zhongyao said just now.
"Director Liu, now, do you believe that if I use spider silk to make body armor, will it be stronger than the original nanofibers!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming again and said.
"Well, I believe what you said. It seems that this kind of spider silk is really strong."
Liu Tianming now has to believe what Zhao Zhongyao said. This kind of spider silk is really strong, far exceeding the strength of steel wire of the same thickness.
"Director Liu, tell me, if I use spider silk to make body armor, wouldn't it be very powerful! Can it surpass the original nano-body armor?"
Zhao Zhongyao can now theoretically prove that if he succeeds in researching the spider silk body armor, it will definitely be much stronger than the original body armor.
"It seems that it must be much stronger than the original body armor." Liu Tianming said again after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"So, I just want to research a super body armor now. This type of body armor is made of a new type of spider silk." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming, and first talked about his own. imagine.
After Liu Tianming heard this, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, "Okay, I support you, you just go to research! If there is any shortage in funding, I can also ask the leader for instructions and allocate some research for you expenses."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhongyao said with a smile: "For the time being, there are still research funds. I don't need too much research funds. It's just that in the future, I may need a lot of research funds."
"Ah, why is that? Why do you need a lot of research funding in the future?" Liu Tianming felt a little puzzled after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"Director Liu, in fact, this kind of spider silk has a wide range of uses. It can be used not only for body armor, but also for other purposes."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that this kind of spider silk had a special term in his lifetime, which was called biological steel. Bio-steel has a wide range of uses. In addition to making advanced body armor, it can also make protective covers for aircraft, tanks and radars.
"Oh, this spider silk has a lot of uses! What are the uses?" Liu Tianming said again after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"This! Of course there are many uses. Just imagine, since this kind of spider silk can be made into body armor, then of course it can also be made into ordinary clothes, military uniforms, and camouflage combat uniforms.
If this kind of spider silk is used to make camouflage combat uniforms, it will definitely be much stronger than ordinary clothes. My next step is to study
, not only to make this spider silk into body armor, but also to make this spider silk into a new type of combat uniform. "
Of course Zhao Zhongyao knew the uses of many kinds of spider silk. However, he didn't need to tell Liu Tianming too much. The main thing is to tell him about the application of spider silk in the clothing industry.
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Tianming also looked at Zhao Zhongyao in surprise and said, "You're very good. It seems that we just want to study this kind of spider silk. In the future, we will all wear it and use it Clothes made of spider silk are so strong that one piece of clothing can be worn for ten or eight years without any problem."
"That is, if ordinary clothes are made of spider silk, it must be much stronger than the original traditional clothes." Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Okay, Zhongyao, hurry up and find a way to research this kind of spider silk body armor. I want to see how strong this kind of body armor can be!" Liu Tianming looked at Zhao Zhongyao again Said.
After hearing Liu Tianming's words, Zhao Zhongyao sighed again and said, "I want to research this new type of body armor quickly, but now I have to solve a more difficult problem."
"What's the problem?" Liu Tianming looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement.
"I want to solve the problem of the production of this spider silk. Although this kind of spider silk is very strong, it is a relatively difficult problem to collect such spider silk in large quantities."
Zhao Zhongyao knew this matter very clearly, but Liu Tianming didn't understand it. After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, he smiled again and said: "Isn't it just a lot of spider silk! If it doesn't work, you can let the workers They all went out into the wild looking for cobwebs."
Liu Tianming was just taking things for granted. He had no way of knowing that it was very difficult to collect spider silk from nature.
"Director Liu, this is just a naive idea of yours. Just now, the two of us wanted to find a spider web, and we still searched for a long time! Some things in nature are like this. If you don't look for it deliberately, it feels like you can find it everywhere. It can be seen, but when you really want to find these things, it feels not so easy to find."
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Tianming recalled that the matter of him and Zhao Zhongyao looking for spider webs just now felt very reasonable.
"Then what can we do? How can we find a lot of spider webs, or we can raise some spiders ourselves. If silkworms can be raised, why can't spiders be raised!"
Liu Tianming regarded spiders as silkworms, so he thought, raising spiders is like raising silkworms!
"Director Liu, you don't understand this. Spiders are different from silkworms. Silkworms are semi-finished animals. Silkworms are just a stage before moths develop into adults. They are also called larvae. Spiders are adults. It does not have the larval stage.
Spiders are solitary insects. It does not like to live with others. When two spiders are together, they fight over food. And the losing side may be eaten by the winning side.
If many spiders are kept together like silkworms, it is likely that they will kill each other, and in the end, these spiders will be gone.
Therefore, it is impossible to raise spiders like silkworms. If you want to obtain a large amount of spider silk, you have to find another way. "
Zhao Zhongyao already knew this matter very clearly. After hearing Liu Tianming's words, he said it again.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming said helplessly: "Then what should we do, how can we get a lot of spider silk!"
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao also said helplessly: "I am also worried about this! If you want to develop a new type of body armor, you must produce a large amount of spider silk, but this spider cannot be raised in large quantities. How to obtain a large amount of spider silk is really a difficult thing."
Hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming was also a little helpless. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Then what do you say? According to what you said, your idea can only be a fantasy, and it has not been realized at all." possible."
"Of course not. If there is no possibility of realizing it, then I won't come to you." Zhao Zhongyao said. "Oh, then what else do you have to do?" After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Tianming felt his eyes light up again.
"Using biological science to conduct gene transplantation experiments. Transplant the silk-producing genes in spiders into silkworm babies. Let the silk spun out by silkworms have the strong quality of spider silk. If this is successful, we can produce a large number of silkworms. of spider silk."
Zhao Zhongyao thought about it, and wanted to solve the problem of producing a large amount of spider silk. He felt that he could only conduct such an experiment.
It's just that he also knows that in this world, science is underdeveloped, and biological science is underdeveloped, and whether gene transplantation technology can be carried out is also unknown. But no matter what, for Zhao Zhongyao, he just wanted to experiment. Many things in the world may be difficult to think about, but if you do it with your heart, it may not be as difficult as you think.
"What, using gene transplantation technology."
Hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming felt a little confused, and didn't understand what Zhao Zhongyao meant. After all, he is also a little unfamiliar with new terms such as gene transplantation technology. He had only heard about genes, but he had never heard of such things as gene transplantation. I have never heard of the matter of transplanting the genes of spiders into silkworms. He felt that this matter was a bit far-fetched.
After hearing Liu Tianming's words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said: "This is a high-tech thing. Gene transplantation technology, that is, genetically modified
technology. "
"GMO technology, what kind of technology is it?"
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming still didn't understand. After all, in their world, there is no such technology. The life sciences in this world are not well developed, and it is only known that all life is composed of cells. He also conducted in-depth research on cells, but he only knew that there are nuclei in cells, and in the nuclei, there are such things as genetic genes. As for how to carry out gene transplantation, there is no life scientist in that country in the world who has done such an experiment, and there is no theory in this regard.
Zhao Zhongyao saw that Liu Tianming was very interested in this thing, so he said again: "Transgenic technology is to transfer the genes of one life into another life, so that other life can have more than two kinds of life. some features.
The theoretical basis of transgenic technology comes from molecular biology derived from the theory of evolution. The source of the gene fragment can be the extraction of the target gene required in the genome of a specific organism, or the artificial synthesis of a dna fragment of a specified sequence. DNA fragments are transferred into specific organisms, recombined with their own genomes, and artificially selected for several generations from the recombinants to obtain individuals with stable performance of specific genetic traits. This technology can enable recombinant organisms to increase desired new traits and breed new varieties.
Transgenic technology is the use of synthetic methods to create some organisms that do not exist in nature. Or some new animals with multiple animal traits in one.
This is a promising treatment for some major diseases in the medical field. Or a new technology to create a specific species that people want. "
