Chapter 850: Spider Silk

"Well, yes, spider silk is something stronger than a steel wire of the same diameter! It's the strongest 'natural fiber' in nature. Its sturdiness is far beyond human imagination.

The spider has a lot of silk pulp in its belly, and it has small holes at the end of its tail. When the web is formed, the spider spews out the silk. As soon as the silk pulp touches the air, it condenses into a sticky silk, and with the web it forms, no matter what flying insects are, once they hit it, they don't want to run away again. Spiders often secrete a layer of oil on their bodies and feet, and sticky silk is non-sticky. However, ordinary flying insects do not have this layer of oil, so the spider web can firmly stick to the flying insects but not the spiders.

The physical and chemical properties of spider silk have very obvious advantages compared with silk.

In terms of mechanical strength, spider silk fiber is close to the strength of carbon fiber and high-strength synthetic fiber, which has the highest strength, but its toughness is significantly better than that of the above fibers. Therefore, spider silk fiber has broad application prospects in national defense, military, construction and other fields. Natural spider silk is mainly derived from webs, which are produced in very low quantities, and spiders have cannibalistic personalities, which cannot be farmed at high densities like silkworms. Therefore, the production of spider silk from natural spiders is very limited. With the development of modern bioengineering, the artificial synthesis of spider silk protein by genetic engineering is a new breakthrough, and it is possible to form an artificial spider silk fiber production plant with a certain scale in the near future.

According to scientists' research experiments, a bundle of rope made of spider silk is stronger and more powerful than stainless steel steel of the same thickness. It is able to withstand 5 times more weight than steel bars without breaking. Some spiders may be as thin as a hair, but don't underestimate their abilities!

Spider silk is very elastic, and a spider silk with a diameter of only one ten-thousandth of a millimeter can be stretched more than twice as long before it breaks. In addition, spider silk is composed of protein, and as long as the silk pulp is not finished, you can draw as long as you want. Theoretically, it is possible to smoke spider silk while feeding spiders.

As a physicist, although Zhao Zhongyao doesn't know much about biology, he has also dabbled in this aspect before his death.

He thought that now he wanted to study a new type of body armor, whether it could be done with spider silk, and if he could design a body armor made of spider silk, it would definitely be very strong.

But for Zhao Zhongyao, this may be the first time he has tried this method. In the world before his death, although the level of science and technology of human beings was already very high, it was not possible to use spider silk to make body armor, and there was only such an idea.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the little spider in front of him, and he thought about how to use spider silk to study a new type of body armor. But he also knows that such a method is very difficult. Because, in the world before his death, human beings have not yet successfully researched spider silk body armor.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao wanted to try it, the new type of body armor he developed last time, although it had nanotechnology, it still had no effect. This time, he just wanted to find a different way and research a biosilk body armor.

Zhao Zhongyao knows that if the chemical fiber is placed for a long time, there will be aging. But spider silk will definitely not be like this, biological silk can be left for a long time, and there will be no aging.

Moreover, the strength of spider silk is great. Body armor made of spider silk. The bulletproof function must be top-notch.

But how to turn spider silk into body armor is a technical problem. Because of such things as spiders, they don't like to live in groups. If there were many of them, they would kill each other.

Therefore, although human beings know that spider silk has a high utilization value, they cannot raise a large number of spider silk, so they cannot get a large amount of spider silk.

Zhao Zhongyao knew that in the world before his death, human beings wanted to use spider silk, but because they could not obtain a large amount of spider silk, they had to temporarily give up the idea of using spider silk to make many military supplies.

Although Zhao Zhongyao knew that it was a bit difficult to make body armor from spider silk, he still wanted to try it. After all, in everything, there must be a forerunner. Anything has to be done by someone first, and then it can be promoted.

"No, I must research a new type of biosilk body armor. Zhao Zhongyao felt that he could only use spider silk to develop more advanced body armor now.

But what exactly should be done? Zhao Zhongyao was also a little at a loss for a while. After all, he was a physicist, not a biologist. Now, if you want to use spider silk, it seems that you have to discuss it with a biologist.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at this small spider web now, and he fell into deep thought.

But at that moment, a female worker came up to him.

This female worker is none other than Zhao Qianqian.

Zhao Qianqian came to Zhao Zhongyao's office from the workshop. Now it's time for lunch, so she came by the way to ask Zhao Zhongyao to go to dinner together. Although, Zhao Qianqian also knows that Zhao Zhongyao has a very beautiful girlfriend. But she still has some feelings for Zhao Zhongyao and it is difficult to give up. She always likes to sit with Zhao Zhongyao during meals.

Now when it was time to eat, she saw that Zhao Zhongyao hadn't gone to eat yet, so she went to the office to find Zhao Zhongyao.

But Zhao Zhongyao was now looking at this little spider in the corner of the wall! He didn't notice that Zhao Qianqian came to his side at all.

Besides, as soon as Zhao Qianqian entered Zhao Zhongyao's office, she hadn't seen anyone else yet. Originally, she didn't want to, couldn't it be that Zhao Zhongyao was not in the office!

But when she turned around, she saw Zhao Zhongyao standing in the corner behind the door, looking at the corner of the wall intently, as if he was looking at something.

Zhao Qianqian didn't see clearly what Zhao Zhongyao was looking at at first. When she got closer, she saw Zhao Zhongyao looking at the spider web in the corner of the wall!

Seeing this situation, it made Zhao Qianqian a little strange. She didn't understand how Zhao Zhongyao could look at this spider web. So, she thought about it for a while, and felt that Zhao Zhongyao was unhappy when he saw a spider web in the corner, and blamed herself in her heart for not cleaning his office!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qianqian hurriedly looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Director Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm working in the workshop these days and I don't have time to clean your office." Otherwise, I'll sweep the webs off for you right now. ”

Zhao Zhongyao was looking at the spider webs in a daze, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him, which startled him. When he looked back and saw that it was Zhao Qianqian, he smiled and said, "It's you! Why did you come behind me quietly." ”

"Director Zhao, it's not that I haven't moved, it's that you're too focused, what's so nice about this spider web, do you think I'm too lazy to clean your office. Otherwise, I'll sweep the cobwebs off now. Zhao Qianqian said again.

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Zhao Qianqian's words, then smiled again and said: "How can I blame you! You are busy with work now, I feel sorry for you It's too late!"

Zhao Zhongyao was also careless for a while, so he said such a slightly ambiguous thing. As soon as he said this, Zhao Zhongyao himself felt that his words were a little inappropriate. But he had already said it, and he couldn't take it back.

As soon as Zhao Qianqian heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, her face turned red all of a sudden. At the same time, there is an indescribable sense of happiness in my heart.

"Director Zhao, I'm --- I'll clean up this cobwebs now. Zhao Qianqian said, picked up the broom, and wanted to sweep the spider web down.

But as soon as she picked up the broom, Zhao Zhongyao grabbed the handle of the broom with his hand again.

"Director Zhao, what's the matter, I'm too late to clean now! You're still angry with me. Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhao Zhongyao's posture, and she wondered if Zhao Zhongyao was still angry with herself.

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Zhao Qianqian's words, he smiled and said: "How could it be! How could I be angry with you, I am happy! I also want to thank you for not sweeping away this spider web." ”

Hearing Zhao Zhongyao say this, Zhao Qianqian's face was inexplicable, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "What do you mean, do you like this spider web very much!" Zhao Qianqian was a little puzzled, in this world, will anyone like spider webs!

"Now, of course, I'm interested in cobwebs. Zhao Zhongyao said, and took another look at the cobwebs in the corner.

Zhao Qianqian is a little confused now, she can't figure out how Zhao Zhongyao could be interested in spider webs.

"Director Zhao, is there anything interesting about this --- spider web!" Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhao Zhongyao very incomprehensibly and said.

"For ordinary people, of course, this cobweb is useless, but for me, it is very useful. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

"Oh, what's the use. Zhao Qianqian looked puzzled.

"I'm going to make a new type of body armor out of this cobweb. If my experiment is successful, I will definitely be able to develop the strongest body armor in the world. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Zhao Qianqian again and said.

"What, you're going to study spider silk body armor, why is that? Is this spider silk really strong? How do I feel, this spider silk is not strong at all. ”

Zhao Qianqian listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and she was very puzzled. She didn't understand, how could Zhao Zhongyao say that this spider silk was very strong.

Zhao Zhongyao listened, then looked at Zhao Qianqian again and said, "Don't underestimate this slender spider silk. You know, each spider silk is five times stronger than a steel wire of the same thickness!"

As soon as she heard Zhao Zhongyao say this, Zhao Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise. After all, it was the first time she had heard anyone talk about the strength of the spider silk.

"Ah, it's so strong. Zhao Qianqian listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course, you just don't know. I'm thinking about using spider silk to study a new type of body armor. The strength of the new body armor must be more than ten times stronger than that of the traditional body armor. ”

Zhao Zhongyao is now very confident, he knows that as long as he works hard, he will be able to research a new type of body armor that is much stronger than traditional body armor.

"Okay, Director Zhao, I believe in you. You're sure you'll be able to develop very strong body armor. But now it's time to eat, and you see this little spider is eating! Isn't it time for us to go eat too? After Zhao Qianqian finished speaking, she also looked at Zhao Zhongyao with concerned eyes.

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Zhao Qianqian's words, then smiled again and said, "Okay, I forgot, it's time to eat now." ”

After saying that, the two went to eat together.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the two of them saw that everyone was already eating.

After Zhao Zhongyao finished the meal, he walked to the table where Zhao Gang and Li Nansong were sitting. He used to eat with them a lot. Now he sat down at the table with a bowl in hand.

Zhao Qianqian also served the meal and sat down next to Zhao Gang.

Thinking of what Zhao Zhongyao said before, Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhao Gang again and said, "Brother, let me tell you a magical thing." ”

Zhao Gang was eating, and as soon as he heard Zhao Qianqian's words, he said puzzledly: "Oh, what's the matter." ”

After Zhao Qianqian finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, "Our Director Zhao wants to study a new type of body armor. This kind of body armor is not ordinary, and it is actually necessary to use spider silk as raw materials to research a new type of body armor!"

As soon as they heard Zhao Qianqian's words, Zhao Gang and Li Nansong both stopped and stopped eating. Both of them looked at Zhao Zhongyao in surprise.

"Director Zhao, is this true? Do you really want to use spider silk as raw materials to research a new type of body armor!" Zhao Gang also looked puzzled. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and wanted Zhao Zhongyao to tell him about it.

"Yes, I want to research a new type of body armor, that is, to use spider silk as raw materials!" Zhao Zhongyao said again.

"Director Zhao, haven't you already researched a new type of body armor before! Why do you still need to research a kind of body armor!" Zhao Gang also knew that Zhao Zhongyao had already researched a kind of body armor before. Why do you want to study a new type of body armor now! How can you say this, Zhao Zhongyao is a little puzzled!

"Yes, Director Zhao, haven't you already researched a kind of body armor before? Why do you want to study body armor now? Li Nansong also sat next to Zhao Zhongyao, and when he listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he also looked puzzled.

"Before, I was researching a new type of body armor, but this nano body armor turned out to be not very good. A few days ago, I took this new body armor to the General Armament Department for shooting experiments. But the result was that I was not very satisfied, and the new body armor I researched could not withstand the bullets of the rifle. I even let the rifle bullets smash. So, I just wanted to develop a new type of body armor that could withstand rifle bullets. ”

Zhao Zhongyao was naturally a little dissatisfied with the body armor he had researched before, and he also wanted to research a better quality body armor.
