Chapter 91: 'Biosteel'
After such a toss, Qi Hao's sleepiness was gone, so he followed Liu Yuan to the laboratory, and after entering the laboratory, he found that the lights were bright everywhere, and Liu Yuan's lover Dr. Lin had not slept yet, and greeted Qi Hao with a smile. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After walking into the laboratory, Qi Hao found that there were many more transparent glass cabinets with a size of one cubic meter, and each cabinet contained some spiders of different shapes, and a large number of spider webs were densely covered in the glass cabinets.
"Mr. Qi, this is the subject of my lover's previous research, Dr. Lin."
Qi Hao looked along the place pointed by Liu Yuan, only to see a very large weight floating there in the air, and the curious Qi Hao got closer only to find that there was a filament about the thickness of a hair hanging the standard 20KG weight in front of him.
The toughness and strength of such a thin thread to be able to pull up forty pounds of something is incredible.
"What is this? Spider silk? ”
From the large number of spiders in the laboratory, Qi Hao guessed that this should be spider silk.
"Mr. Qi guessed right, it is indeed spider silk that hangs the weight, it is estimated that Mr. Qi's understanding of spider silk is limited to its name spider silk is so simple, let me give you a little science popularization, spider silk itself is composed of glycine, aniline and a small amount of serine synthesis, plus other amino acid monomer molecules polymerization, its molecular structure is divided into crystal region and amorphous region, the crystal region molecule is highly oriented, the crystalline region is divided by amorphous area and occupies a certain area, which is the basis for its high strength, high toughness and high viscoelasticity. The molecular chains with amorphous region structure can form an elongated polymeric glass state, which is the reason for the high elasticity and high equilibrium blocking ability of spider silk. ”
Dr. Lin said a large list of professional terms Qi Hao's head was foggy, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"Dr. Lin, seriously, I don't understand it, what you said is a little easier to understand."
Hearing Qi Hao's words, Dr. Lin smiled and said: "For example, spider silk of the same thickness is five times harder than steel wire, twice as elastic as nylon, and its load capacity can reach four thousand times that of the spider itself. Scientists in the U.S. military have implanted the genes of the round-webed spider into bacteria, which become tiny glands of the spider to make collagen, which can be purified and then able to start spinning. There are also scientists who obtain silk protein through various ways of microorganisms, animals, and plants, and then obtain spider silk. ”
Qi Hao listened to Dr. Lin introduce the magical spider silk to Qi Hao, to be honest, he can really grow a lot of insight after being with these people who are engaged in science for a long time.
It's a pity that the poisonous spiders currently bred in his farm don't have the ability to form webs, otherwise he really wants to give Dr. Lin a few spiders to study, but it doesn't hurt to know more about it now.
"Dr. Lin, this spider silk is so amazing as you said, so what can it be used for?"
Qi Hao asked curiously.
"Very extensive, artificial spider silk is also known as 'biosteel', it is 4 to 5 times stronger than ordinary steel, and has a silk-like softness and luster, in the military can be used to make body armor, combat aircraft, tanks, radar satellites and other equipment protective covers; In aerospace, it can be used to manufacture lightweight spacesuits, for the development of lightweight aerospace materials that are resistant to very short conditions, and so on; In medicine, because spider silk has protein fibers and is 'compatible' with the human body, artificial joints, ligaments, prosthetics, artificial tendons and other products made of biosteel have the characteristics of good toughness and degradability; In terms of construction, due to the extremely high strength, toughness and thermal stability of spider silk, it will decompose at extremely high temperatures, because spider silk can be used in the manufacture of structural materials and composite materials, and biosteel is expected to replace the steel bars in reinforced concrete structures, greatly reducing the weight of the building itself, and is also conducive to earthquake resistance, and it also has a good prospect in the field of biological computers, and more application prospects are currently being excavated. It is believed that spider silk can be used for a wider range of purposes in the near future. ”
Qi Hao smacked his tongue secretly after hearing this, and said, "I really don't know, spider silk can be used for a wide range of purposes, but then again, is the synthesis process of this thing complicated?" ”
"I spent a lot of time extracting and synthesizing this spider silk in front of you, what do you say?"
As soon as Dr. Lin said this, Qi Hao understood, even if this thing was good and powerful, if it couldn't be obtained in batches, Qi Hao wouldn't be much interested.
After chatting for a while, it was almost three o'clock, even Dr. Liu Yuan, who often stayed up late, was a little unbearable, Qi Hao said goodbye to the two doctors, drove back to his residence, took off his shoes and fell on the bed.
But I don't know what's going on, it's obviously more than three o'clock in the morning, but Qi Hao is not sleepy at all, even if he closes his eyes, he can't sleep.
After a while, Qi Hao got up and sat up on the bed, raised his left hand and opened the magic farm app to check it, after more than three months of breeding, the breeding experience has reached 28.91%, and it is not far from 50% to open the epic biological variety, and the magic points have accumulated to four points, but Qi Hao has not yet figured out what this magic point is for.
After studying for a while, Qi Hao's eyes turned to the lottery interface, it seems that he hasn't drawn in the app for a long time, anyway, he doesn't feel sleepy now, draw a few prizes to pass the time, maybe there will be surprises.
Thinking of this, Qi Hao clicked on the two big words 'lottery' in the center of the lottery interface, the black pointer began to rotate rapidly, then slowly stopped, and finally stopped in the 'props' column, and then a prompt sounded in Qi Hao's mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the farmer for drawing the prop prize [lucky charm], you can increase your luck after using it, only for the farmer himself, please make persistent efforts to draw a better prize."
Qi Hao checked the lucky charm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
[Lucky Charm]: Today is your lucky day, and you will win the prize in the next lottery after using it.
Qi Hao vaguely remembered that he had drawn a similar thing to increase luck before, and the effect was not bad, I don't know how the effect of this lucky charm was, Qi Hao did not hesitate to use the lucky charm directly, and then raised his hand and clicked on the word lottery.
The black pointer rotated rapidly, Qi Hao's eyes stared at Qi Hao tightly, and when he saw the black pointer slowly stop within the range of the skill class, Qi Hao's little heart couldn't help but flutter.
"Ding, congratulations to the farmer for winning the skill class award [Magical Creature Ability Enhancement], the magical creature ability enhancement function has been opened in advance, and the application system has begun to upgrade ......"
