Chapter 833 Nanomaterials

Now for Zhao Zhongyao, he feels that he is already half the battle. Although the money has not been received yet. There are no research grants yet. As long as the leader agrees, then this matter will be easy to do.

After getting this news, Zhao Zhongyao began to design his new combat uniform. For him, it is not difficult to design such a new combat uniform, after all, he has seen all kinds of combat uniforms in his life. Now you just need to design a new type of combat uniform that you have seen.

It only took three days for Zhao Zhongyao to design a new type of combat uniform. The new combat suit he designed can be said to combine the advantages of various combat suits, and it can really be said to be a new super combat suit.

The clothes are designed, but it is not easy to produce this kind of clothes. After all, this new super combat suit designed by Zhao Zhongyao is really ahead of its time. So much so that in this world, I am afraid that it is difficult for any country to produce such advanced combat uniforms.

Because of this, Zhao Zhongyao wants to produce such a combat uniform, but he faces a huge challenge. Of course, for Zhao Zhongyao, these two functions of a new combat suit can be solved by him now.

These two functions are the functions of fire protection and camouflage.

Regarding the function of fire prevention, Zhao Zhongyao has done full tests on the fire suit before, and he can now be sure that the combat suit he designed will definitely be able to prevent fire. He doesn't have to worry about this.

The other point is the camouflage function.

Regarding this point, Zhao Zhongyao feels that he can learn from the design concepts of many advanced camouflage uniforms on the superstar before his death.

The so-called camouflage function is to make the color of the camouflage uniform match the color of the surrounding environment.

This requires that the colors of camouflage uniforms should also be varied, not a single color. For example, the camouflage uniform worn in the jungle is definitely different from the camouflage uniform worn in the desert.

If you wear a camouflage uniform in the jungle, you must use some green as the basic color. And the camouflage uniform worn in the desert must be based on earthy yellow.

Regarding the camouflage function of camouflage uniforms, Zhao Zhongyao felt that he could solve it. This function, in fact, is not a difficult task. After all, it's just a matter of the color of the appearance, and it's not a difficult problem.

Of course, this problem of camouflage can also be further advanced. That's a very difficult problem. For example, if you want to make camouflage reach a 'stealth' limit. If this is the case, then this question is not a simple one.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Zhongyao also thought of a super high-tech question, that is, whether it is possible to make the camouflage uniform combat uniform have an invisible function. In that case, this new combat suit will definitely be many years ahead of the world.

Zhao Zhongyao also thought about this problem, but he also felt that it was not the time for him to study this difficult problem. Because, he himself cannot guarantee that he will be able to solve this problem about 'invisibility'.

Because, in the world before Zhao Zhongyao's death, a truly invisible function of clothing has not yet been produced. But in the world before his death, there was a theory that could support the invisible function of clothes.

This kind of theory is a very advanced theory, that is, the theory of 'quantum invisibility'. This kind of theory is very advanced, even in the world where Zhao Zhongyao was very technologically advanced before his death, people have not yet turned this theory into reality.

Therefore, although Zhao Zhongyao also has this idea. But he felt that the idea was a little surreal. Not only is it a little surreal in this technologically backward era, but even in the technologically advanced era before his death, it is also a little surreal!

Because of this, Zhao Zhongyao did not consider adding this 'invisible' function to the camouflage uniform for the time being. He thought that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he would study the theory of 'invisibility'. Let's see if we can apply this 'invisible' theory to military affairs.

Camouflage is much simpler than invisibility. In fact, in nature, there are no animals with invisibility. Animals just have some camouflage. Animals like chameleons can change the color of their bodies according to their external environment, so as to achieve an 'invisible' effect.

Also, there is a squid that changes color in the sea. This squid lives in some coral reefs. They can change their color on top of the reef depending on the color around them.

In this way, the squid can not only hide itself from predators. At the same time, they can also be well camouflaged, and when a prey comes to them, they can swallow it by surprise.

Camouflage clothing designed by humans was originally invented based on the camouflage technology of animals. It can be said that it is not humans who really use camouflage in battle. Noodles are miraculous creatures in nature.

Zhao Zhongyao knew that this new type of combat uniform he designed could also do it in camouflage. It's not that hard. As long as you design a few camouflage uniforms with similar shapes and different colors, you can do it.

In other words, camouflage uniforms of different colors can be designed according to different troops. In this way, it is natural that the super combat suit can have the function of camouflage.

Regarding the fireproof function and camouflage function of the super combat suit, Zhao Zhongyao felt that he could solve these two problems quickly. And what makes him feel a little difficult, of course, are the latter two functions.

First of all, let's talk about this waterproof function. This is also a difficult problem to solve. To say, if you use a tarp to make a camouflage uniform directly, it also has a waterproof function. But in that case, the problem will be solved.

Just solving problems in this way can lead to more problems. It is also possible to say that soldiers who serve in some cold areas can wear some camouflage uniforms made of tarpaulin. After all, the fighters in the cold regions usually wear very thick clothing. Even if you put a camouflage uniform made of tarpaulin on the outside, it naturally doesn't matter.

But in some tropical areas, if the soldiers wear this kind of camouflage uniform made of tarpaulin, they obviously don't use them to sweat. The human body needs to perspire constantly. If you wear a layer of impermeable tarpaulin camouflage clothing outside, it will definitely be harmful to the human body.

The fighters are fighting outside, and if they are in a cold area, it naturally doesn't matter. You can wear any kind of camouflage uniform. But if it was in the tropics, it was obviously inappropriate for the soldiers to wear impermeable tarpaulin clothing.

Because of this, Zhao Zhongyao can't be lazy and design a waterproof camouflage uniform made of tarpaulin.

The problem that Zhao Zhongyao wants to solve now is a very contradictory problem. In other words, it is necessary to make the camouflage uniform breathable, and at the same time waterproof. It's a very high-tech problem.

In this world, there is no theory that can make ordinary clothes waterproof. Zhao Zhongyao knew that it was impossible to find a theory to support his ideas in this world.

And now he can only use his brain and return to the world where he was alive to find a high-tech theory that can support his current ideas.

What kind of theory is it? Zhao Zhongyao thought about it for a while, and he came up with four words -- 'nanotechnology.'"

Nanotechnology has not yet appeared in this world, let alone the application of nanotechnology to the economic field, even if it has not even appeared in theory.

And Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to solve the waterproof problem of his new combat uniform, he had to use nanotechnology and let nanotechnology solve the waterproof problem of his new combat uniform.

As a world-famous theoretical physicist before his death, Zhao Zhongyao was also very familiar with nano theory.

Nanotechnology, also known as nanotechnology, is a technique that studies the properties and applications of materials with structures in the range of 1 nanometer to 100 nanometers. After the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1981, a world of molecules from 1 to 100 nanometers in length was born, with the ultimate goal of constructing products with specific functions directly from atoms or molecules. Therefore, nanotechnology is actually a technology that uses a single atom and molecule to range matter.

From the research to date, there are three concepts about nanotechnology:

The first is the molecular nanotechnology proposed by the American scientist Dr. Drexleloth in the book "The Machine of Creation" in 1986. According to this concept, it is possible to put into practical use a machine that combines molecules, so that all kinds of molecules can be arbitrarily combined, and any kind of molecular structure can be manufactured. Nanotechnology for this concept has not yet made significant progress.

The second concept positions nanotechnology as the limit of micromachining technology. In other words, it is a technology that artificially forms nano-sized structures through "processing" with nanometer precision. This nanoscale processing technology is also about to reach the limit of semiconductor miniaturization. Even if the existing technology is developed, theoretically it will eventually reach the limit, because if the wire width of the circuit is gradually reduced, the insulating film that makes up the circuit will become extremely thin, and the insulation effect will be destroyed. In addition, there are problems such as heating and shaking. To address these issues, researchers are working on novel nanotechnologies.

The third concept is from a biological point of view. Originally, organisms have nanoscale structures within cells and biological membranes. The development of DNA molecular computers and cell biological computers has become an important part of nanobiotechnology.

And about the function of nano waterproofing materials. Zhao Zhongyao also solved some. In the world before his death, raincoats with waterproof functions were already produced in front of people.

The nano raincoat umbrella is a combination of an umbrella and a raincoat, and the nano umbrella has a three-fold umbrella and a straight pole umbrella (in short, there are two options for the length of the umbrella). Nano raincoats can be transformed from nano umbrellas, and nano raincoats are different from ordinary raincoats, because nano raincoats can ensure that they are absolutely not wet from head to toe. Because of the nanomaterials, this umbrella can be dried with a single flick, and after the umbrella is transformed into a raincoat, this raincoat can also be completely dried with a slight jump when wearing.

In terms of waterproof materials, some new nano waterproof materials have also been developed.

On August 4, 2014, Australia used a newly invented fabric to create a groundbreaking T-shirt that retains its waterproof properties no matter how much people try to soak it.

This white T-shirt called "Knight" is made of 100% cotton. Although it looks plain on the surface, the fabric is woven using "hydrophobic" nanotechnology, which makes this T-shirt effective against most liquids and stains. This T-shirt can be machine-washed, and its waterproof function can withstand up to 80 washes. The fabric is naturally self-cleaning, and any stains that adhere to it can be scrubbed or rinsed away with water.

Unlike other waterproofing applications that contain chemicals, T-shirts mimic the natural hydrophobic characteristics of lotus leaves. The invention of this fabric could have had a revolutionary impact on restaurants and cafes. In addition, the fabric can also be used in the medical industry or in hospitals, for example.

Zhao Zhongyao is also very familiar with many nano products in the world during his lifetime. And what he wants to use now is one of the many nano-waterproof materials.

But this thing is simple to think about, and it is certainly not an easy thing to do. How to produce their own nano waterproof materials. Zhao Zhongyao knew that he had to do some experiments first.

How to produce the nano waterproof clothing you want. Zhao Zhongyao knows that this is not an easy thing. If he wants to complete this thing, then the new combat uniform he wants to study is almost there.

And, of course, a bulletproof feature. This function is also very troublesome. Fortunately, in this world, there is already such a thing as body armor. Zhao Zhongyao can still find some breakthroughs from the materials of body armor in this world.

Now for Zhao Zhongyao, the first thing to solve is his nano waterproof material problem. How do you make a garment that is completely waterproof?

Zhao Zhongyao now has to use his brain again, thinking about how people produced nanomaterials in the world before his death. Because only when he thinks about how people produce nanomaterials in the world where he was alive, can he produce the nanomaterials he wants in this world.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao had no choice but to light a cigarette in the office and began to fall into memories.
