Chapter 473 Endoskeleton

Take 5 anthropomorphic bodies from the anthropomorphic body storage room.

Li Qingye came to an exclusive experimental area that had been prepared for a long time. A dozen scientific research assistants were ready.

"let's start!"

Following his order, the scientific research assistants began to get busy.

They lifted an anthropomorphic body out of the life-support chamber, inserted various life-support equipment, and then inserted a specialized syringe needle into the veins of the anthropomorphic body.

Then he took out a cylindrical container from a biological safe, which was about the same size as a large thermos flask.

Connect the container to the syringe.

Press the start switch, and the special liquid in the container is injected into the human body bit by bit.

Another scientific research assistant was checking the feedback data from the artificial brain.

A large number of free cells in the special solution entered the whole body of the human body through the veins.

Probably more than an hour passed.

"Chairman, cartilage tissue has begun to form."

Li Qingye turned his chair and looked at the holographic body structure model formed by the scanning equipment. A layer of cartilage under the dermal tissue on the surface of the human body began to form.

These cartilage tissues are distributed in a fibrous structure, starting from under the dermal tissue on the body surface and then spreading to muscles and internal organs.

"Report, the experimental subjects are gaining weight..."

"Report, the height of the experimental subject..."

As the cartilage cells continue to build cartilage tissue in the subject's body, the subject's body weight increases little by little, and the height and body shape also expand little by little.

Until 36 hours later.

Cartilage cells completed the construction of the endoskeleton. At this time, the experimental subject's weight increased by 18.3%, his height increased by 3.2 centimeters, and his body outline became much thicker.

In short, it means getting stronger.

At this time, in the scanned holographic body model in front of Li Qingye, the white lines represented cartilage tissue, and these cartilage tissues were densely covered throughout the entire body of the experimental subject.

"Injecting neural networks into cells."

"yes."

These cartilage tissues are integrated with muscles, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs to form an artificial skeleton that is integrated into the human body.

This artificial skeletal system is called "endoskeleton".

Endoskeleton, as the name suggests, is the skeleton in the body, used to distinguish exoskeleton and autologous skeleton.

The reason why Li Qingye developed endoskeleton is to strengthen the human body, which is actually one of the components of bio-based armor.

The old version of bio-based armor mainly consists of a biological exoskeleton covering the body surface, plus various functional symbionts, symbiotic bacteria and biochips in the body.

In application practice, although the old version of bio-based armor has very good functions in all aspects, it still has some shortcomings.

For example, if the body is hit hard, it will also lead to coma, damage to internal organs, broken bones, ruptured blood vessels, and even death.

Although the security forces of Homo sapiens companies rarely come into close contact with the enemy, it does not mean that this problem can be ignored.

Because bio-based armor has another big application field-space suits.

Especially during the ascent stage of the launch vehicle or the orbital airdrop stage, overload is basically a common occurrence.

At present, the Medan Aerospace Group, a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, produces the Ape-eating Eagle launch vehicle with a maximum overload of 4.8G in the atmospheric stage. For astronauts equipped with bio-based armor, this overload is nothing.

But another subsidiary, Dandelion Aerospace Group's aerospace airship and aerospace transport aircraft, has a maximum overload of 6.7G during the atmospheric ascent stage, and in the event of an emergency suborbital airborne landing, the maximum overload can even reach 12.5G.

If the overload exceeds 8G, the protective effect of bio-based armor will decrease. If the overload exceeds 12G, even with bio-based armor, astronauts may still fall into coma, black vision, red vision, and induce cardiovascular diseases.

Through a series of feedback data from practical applications, various aerospace subsidiaries have discovered that the current bio-based armor has certain limitations.

Its limitation is that when the overload exceeds the threshold, various organs of the human body will be compressed, which will lead to difficulty in breathing and abnormal blood circulation.

To solve this problem, the endoskeletal system came into being.

The endoskeletal system, which is composed of special cartilage tissue groups, is similar to the sponge body in its nanostructure. After it is formed in the body, it will store a certain amount of physiological saline.

Once encountering a sudden external force, the soft endoskeleton will instantly harden and tighten the body.

The stronger the external force, the harder the endoskeletal system becomes, which is similar to the force pattern of non-Newtonian fluids.

However, there is a limit to the pressure of the endoskeleton. If the instantaneous overload exceeds 30G, even with an endoskeleton system, the body will be overloaded.

Regarding this point, when Li Qingye and a group of researchers designed the endoskeleton system, they actually did not have high expectations. The ability to achieve safe overload below 25G is the greatest value of this system.

Of course, endoskeletal systems can be used for more than just load resistance.

In fact, the endoskeletal system has many functions, including load resistance, bulletproof, impact resistance, heavy pressure resistance, and improved athletic ability.

With the cooperation of biochips, it is possible to lift 500 kilograms of weight without the need for an exoskeleton, and jump from a height of 10 meters without any damage to the body.

At the same time, with the endoskeleton system, after equipping the exoskeleton with bio-based armor, the coordination between the body and the exoskeleton will be more perfect.

But all this is a case of supercomputer simulation.

The actual situation is currently being tested.

Injecting neural network building cells into cartilage tissue is another key point of the endoskeletal system, which is to allow the cartilage tissue to be completely integrated with the biochip.

Only by completing the neural network connection can we achieve refined control of cartilage tissue.

Li Qingye and his scientific research assistants looked at the feedback data from the artificial brain. The cartilage tissue inside the human body was connected bit by bit to the biochip through neural network building cells.

This process took 8 hours.

When the last part of the cartilage tissue is connected to the neural network building cells, the endoskeletal system inside the human body is officially implanted.

"Test blood regulation."

"OK."

The part of the cartilage tissue that surrounds the blood vessels, through contraction and squeezing, successfully reduces the blood supply to some parts of the body, or even directly intercepts it.

Then artificial cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed directly in the body. The endoskeleton system can directly squeeze the heart, and there is no need for external compression.

The next step is to test artificial assisted intestinal peristalsis, varicose vein repair, respiratory foreign body discharge, and assisted breathing.

Among them, the endoskeleton system implanted in the alveoli is the most special, because this part of the endoskeleton can also have another effect, which is to block direct contact of external liquid with the alveoli.

At the same time, a special symbiotic fungus has been implanted in the upper respiratory tract, which can insert mycelium into the alveoli, absorb oxygen from the liquid, transport the oxygen to the alveoli, and expel the carbon dioxide released by the alveoli.

In other words, humans at this time can breathe directly underwater.

In order to solve the problem of fluid exchange caused by underwater breathing, the endoskeleton system can temporarily open the upper respiratory tract and esophagus, and temporarily close the connection between the esophagus and the stomach, allowing oxygenated liquid to enter from the respiratory tract and carbon dioxide-containing liquid to be spit out from the esophagus.

Of course, if this special underwater breathing mode is used in a natural water body, the human body's activity function will be greatly reduced, because the oxygen content of the natural water body is too low, and there will be insufficient oxygen supply.

Without the assistance of the endoskeletal system, underwater breathing or even swimming would be impossible, and one could only float on the bottom of the water.
