The rise of nanometers

Western Australia.

The northern part of the Victoria Desert, located in the 3067 Research Institute in the desert.

Huang Xiuyuan came to this secret research institute through the stand-in robot. This research institute was one of the research institutes that had been moved from Mobei.

The institute is mainly engaged in research on the combination of nanotechnology, bionics, and human engineering.

At present, nearly 26% of the core scientific research strength of the Suiren Department has been transferred to relatively safe Australia, especially the previous research institute in Mobei, which has moved about 80%.

After all, polar bears that are extremely weak will inevitably have the idea of ​​​​fighting to the death. Therefore, scientific research projects in Mobei, Northeast, and Xinjiang can only be transferred to Guanzhong, Sichuan Province, and Australia as much as possible.

At this time, Australia's Chinese population reached a new high, reaching 28.69 million. Coupled with the local emphasis on this area, the economic development here has become even faster.

Including immigrants from Southeast Asia and Korea, the proportion of local whites has dropped again to only about 32.4%.

This is already a relatively safe ratio.

The next step is to slowly integrate and completely integrate these areas into the Greater China Civilization Circle.

Huang Xiuyuan came to this research institute specifically. Naturally, he did not come here casually to inspect, but the projects here have made breakthrough progress.

The main research directions of 3067 Research Institute are nanotechnology, ergonomics, and bionics. The core researchers are from the Suiren Department of Science and Technology, and the relevant funds are also provided by the Suiren Department.

Fang Hua, the leader of the research team, is a very young Pacific scholar, only 29 years old this year.

Under her leadership, Huang Xiuyuan came to the fifth underground floor of the research institute.

Enter the laboratory called "Nano Endoskeleton".

"Mr. Huang, this is our latest achievement, Nano Endoskeleton-15." Fang Hua pointed to a set of silver-gray objects that resemble human bones on the experimental table and introduced him eagerly.

Huang Xiuyuan stared at the hollow skeleton in front of him.

If you zoom in on the details, you can see countless tiny nanostructures. These tiny nanostructures are made of four human-friendly materials: titanium, carbon, calcium, and silicon.

A large part of these nanostructures are excellent structures learned from the biological nanostructures on Blue Star through bionics.

The set of nano-endoskeletons in front of me is actually a set of exhibits.

"Are there any experimental subjects?"

Fang Hua nodded: "Please follow me."

A group of people came to the sixth floor. This area is the animal experiment area, which contains various experimental animals, such as chimpanzees, rats, pigs, rabbits, etc.

Fang Hua operated on the tablet, and a seemingly ordinary chimpanzee was released from the cage.

"Mr. Huang, this chimpanzee has a nano-endoskeleton implanted in its body."

A combat robot, under the control of the researcher, also appeared in the field. The robot ran towards the chimpanzee and made movements to attack the other party.

In an instant, the furious chimpanzee slapped its chest with both hands and roared at the robot.

The battle was about to break out, and the two sides struggled together. The robot made of high-strength alloy suddenly punched the chimpanzee in the chest, knocking it away two or three meters.

But the chimpanzee, which rolled several times in the sand, became ferocious and roared towards the robot.

Huang Xiuyuan took a look at the intensity of the robot's attack just now. The force of the punch reached about 1,200 kilograms. No matter how thick and rough the chest of a normal chimpanzee is, it cannot withstand such a powerful blow.

On the terahertz and infrared wave body scanning systems, only superficial tissue damage was found on the chimpanzee's chest, while the ribs and lungs were not affected.

The fight between the two sides continued.

The chimpanzees are violent and savage, while the robots are ruthless and shocking.

However, as time passed, the chimpanzee's surface skin tissue was severely damaged, bleeding, broken skin, and edema.

Its ferocity was fading, and fear was slowly creeping into my heart.

Facing cold and rational robots, no matter how powerful the animal's body is, it is difficult to compare with the robot. If the nanoendoskeleton had not protected the internal organs and offset a large part of the attack, the chimpanzee would have been beaten to death by the robot.

The researcher pressed a button, and a highly effective anesthetic gas was immediately released from the ventilation system of the sealed site.

The chimpanzee gasped for more than ten seconds and then fell down in a daze. The robot lifted the chimpanzee and sent it to the medical room for treatment.

"After implanting an endoskeleton, the bone strength can be increased by about 8 to 12 times. If all human bones are implanted into the endoskeleton, the total weight of the endoskeleton is only 1.2 kilograms, which is not a big burden on the human body."

Huang Xiuyuan pinched his chin and thought about it. This weight is actually nothing. After all, there are some fat people who are dozens of kilograms overweight and still live well.

He turned around and asked, "How about the rejection test?"

Fang Hua replied without hesitation: "Currently, no rejection has been found in animal experiments. A total of 355 animal experiments have been conducted on type 15."

"Very good." Huang Xiuyuan then asked another question: "After the endoskeleton is implanted, how to take it out of the body?"

Fang Hua explained: "Implantation and removal are actually the same. We use infrared light internal welding technology."

Infrared light internal welding technology is a new technology that was developed last year. It mainly uses a special carbon nanostructure and then implants the required materials into the body bit by bit through minimally invasive implantation.

This special carbon nanostructure can be welded mainly because the area wrapped by this structure can form an internal vacuum tube under instantaneous high heat.

In the vacuum tube, silicon nano, calcium nano, and titanium nano materials can be quickly cold welded together.

Through a little bit of welding, the silicon-carbon perovskite nanomaterial with a bionic structure is finally compounded to the biological skeleton to form a nanoendoskeleton.

Endoskeleton technology, which is different from exoskeleton technology, is mainly designed to strengthen the inner human being.

After all, no matter how streamlined the exoskeleton is, it is still inconvenient in daily life, while the endoskeleton is hidden in the body and can be used around the clock.

Of course, the endoskeleton currently has its limits. For example, if a bomb explodes nearby, the endoskeleton itself may be able to withstand the impact of the explosion, but the internal organs will definitely be damaged by the shock wave.

This is just an auxiliary equipment and does not mean it is invincible.

The reason why the endoskeleton adopts a non-electronic control design is mainly for safety reasons. If a nanorobot-type endoskeleton is used, not only will the cost be very high, but the risk of system loss of control will also be considered.

Although there are related projects to develop nanorobots inside the body, risk assessment in this area has never stopped.

No one can safely hand over their body to a machine. If a hacker invades the control system, the user's life may be endangered.

Therefore, purely mechanical bionic nanoendoskeleton is the current mainstream.

Huang Xiuyuan asked about the progress of another project: "Ahua, where is the bionic nanocortex technology?"

"There are currently two models, which barely meet part of the design requirements, that is, rejection and activation reactions, which are not yet mature."

The so-called bionic nanocortex is actually another type of endoskeleton.

If the endoskeleton is a head-on approach, the endothelium plays a buffering role.

It mainly draws on the structure of non-Newtonian liquids, vibration buffer structure, and impact buffer structure, mainly to resist attacks such as shock waves.

This technology is one of the supporting components of endoskeleton.
