Chapter 216: Spider Silk Uses

Driving home from the city, Su Jing called and ordered the best set of gym equipment.

When he saw the fitness equipment in the martial arts hall, Su Jing was a little excited, running, sit-ups, push-ups and other exercises, although they can also exercise the body, but if there is a fitness equipment, the effect will definitely be better. In particular, punches and legs can be practiced with sandbags.

Of course, for the time being, it was just an order, and it was not delivered so quickly, after all, the building has not been renovated yet, and there is no place to put it when it is delivered. After it is built, it will be placed on the second floor, anyway, the collection of things will not occupy the entire first floor, and it will be more than enough to divide a small gym.

In the early morning, as in the past, Su Jing washed and played, ran and walked, ate breakfast, and then entered the super time garbage station. First of all, I looked at the cultivated seeds, the tomatoes, strawberries, and ginseng seeds planted in the spirit stone slag had all germinated and grown into small seedlings, and the tomato and strawberry seeds planted in the ordinary soil had rotted away, as Su Jing expected, these tomato and strawberries from the mortal immortal cultivation tradition could only survive if they were cultivated in the spirit stone slag. Ginseng planted in ordinary soil has not rotted, but it has not yet germinated.

In addition, plants such as spirit grass, willow tree, bamboo, golden camellia, and seven-leaf ginseng (in order to distinguish it from ordinary ginseng, Su Jing named seven-leaf ginseng from the perfect world with seven compound leaves) and other plants grow fast and beautiful under the cultivation of spirit stone slag, and the man-eating vine blooms more flowers every day, so that Su Jing cheats several more flowers every day.

"This spirit stone slag is really suitable for planting. ”

Su Jing then sowed several precious plant seeds that had been prepared early in the morning in a pot of spirit stone slag, ready to be transplanted after germination. A plan to make money by cultivating precious plants based on spirit stone slag. It's officially begun.

The silkworms in the box seem to be similar to ordinary silkworms. I will only eat, sleep, sleep and eat, and I will get bigger and bigger day by day. However, it should not be so fast to spit silk, and it will take some time.

"Well, what about spiders?"

Su Jing looked at another box, but saw that it was full of spider webs, and he could only dimly see a half-crippled giant spider corpse, and at first glance there were no eleven small spiders, but he released his spiritual power to look for them, and found that eleven of them were hiding inside. Each one was the size of a fist. Spiders have the nature of cannibalism, but firstly, the giant spiders have not finished eating, and there is still a lot of food; secondly, after being tamed by Su Jing's spirit, the spiders get along quite harmoniously, so these eleven do not have cannibalism.

Su Jing took a closer look, and the spider webs that were added later in the box were obviously much thinner, and they should have been spit out by the little spider, the web that the giant spider spit out at the beginning. It is invisible, and may have been eaten by a spider.

"I forgot to research it before, this spider web is so powerful, I don't know if it's useful?"

Su Jing is used to picking up garbage. So he is well versed in the truth of turning waste into treasure, not to mention that this spider web does not look like waste at first glance. As soon as his mind turned, the first thing that came to his mind was. When the eleven spiders are grown, let them build webs. Seal the inside of the Chrono Garbage Station in its entirety. That way, you won't accidentally get slipped out by a small animal.

"Look it up on the Internet and see what a spider web can do. ”

Su Jing took out his mobile phone and checked on the Internet, but he didn't know if he didn't check, and he was startled when he checked it, it turned out that the spider was full of treasures. Spider medicine, with the function of detoxification, swelling, mainly to treat sores, sores, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, wounds, stroke, children's convulsions, impotence and premature ejaculation and other diseases. Spider venom has a unique effect on the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and epilepsy, which can block the potassium and calcium channels of nerve cells, and has a neuroprotective effect on stroke patients. Spider silk, which can be produced as an oral solution for spider webs, is effective in neurological diseases.

Of course, these effects are not direct, and they have to go through layers of medical and pharmaceutical processing, so for Su Jing, it is not very useful. However, spider silk had some other functions that made him extremely interested.

According to the research, 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 with the highest strength, but its toughness is significantly better than the above fibers. Therefore, spider silk fibers have broad application prospects in the fields of national defense, military (body armor), construction, etc.

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. Although some spiders are as thin as hair, don't underestimate their abilities and effects. In addition, 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.

However, natural spider silk is mainly derived from webs, which is very low, and spiders have cannibalistic personalities and cannot be farmed at high densities like silkworms, so the production of spider silk from natural spiders is very limited. Ordinary spider silk is only about one micron, and if you want to get 1 pound of spider silk, you have to catch more than 600,000 spiders, so the method of collecting spiders and cutting open the belly of spiders to take out the silk liquid, and then spinning it into silk by artificial methods is too expensive and not feasible.

In order to solve this problem, the National Army Biochemical Command Center in Massachusetts, USA and the Nexia Biotechnology Company in Quebec, Canada, extracted spider genes from spiders and implanted them into goats, so that goat milk has spider silk protein, and then used a special spinning process to spin the spider silk protein in goat milk into artificial gene spider silk, which is also known as biosteel. The artificial genetic spider silk produced in this way is 4 to 5 times stronger than steel, and has a silk-like softness and luster, which can be used to make high-grade body armor. Biosteel has a wide range of uses, and can also be used to make protective shields for combat aircraft, tanks, radars, satellites and other equipment.

"The little spider silk is so magical, it is still ordinary spider silk, if these spider silks from the legend of mortal cultivation immortals are processed, what will be the effect?"

Su Jing was a little excited, at the beginning, the silk spit out by the giant spider was thicker than ordinary spider silk, but it was only about a millimeter in diameter, but Su Jing used more than two hundred catties of strength to pull it out, and it didn't mean to break it at all, but the whole web fell off.

Su Jing made a small spider web, these spider silk is only 0.0 millimeters thick, spider silk is divided into horizontal silk and longitudinal silk, the horizontal silk is a spiral silk thread, sticky, responsible for sticking to the prey, the longitudinal silk crosses the silk thread of the spiral, there is no stickiness, but the strength is high, as a support spider web.

Su Jing took a horizontal filament, which was sticky to the touch, stretched, stretched, and stretched again with two hands, and the spider silk was constantly stretched and thinned, but it did not mean to break, until it was so thin that it was impossible to see, and it was finally broken. I took another longitudinal wire, which was a little silky to the touch, but when I stretched, I obviously felt the resistance, put on gloves, exerted force, and used more than 100 catties of strength, and my hands were a little red, and I finally tore it off.
