Chapter 253: Overcoming the Last Hurdle (Requested)
After two months of non-stop experiments, all the data were summarized to Zhou Xiao.
There is no problem with the data, but there is a difficulty.
It is how to solve the application problem of ionized bacterial biological batteries in the process of moving.
Zhou Xiao said: "What better way do you have? ”
Mo Li looked at all the experimental data and said: "The reason is very simple, the reason for the instability of the voltage is the instability of the colony when it is moved in the test tube, if the test tube has been in the process of moving, the colony will also fluctuate up and down, and all the voltages are unstable." ”
Mo Li said: "There are two ways to deal with it, one is from the inside, and the other is from the outside. ”
"The internal starting point is to find a way to fix the colonies so that they don't move with the standard tubes. The external starting point is to install a voltage regulator outside the marked test tube, and then output the voltage through the voltage regulator, so that the voltage we get is still stable. ”
Chen Hao said: "If the voltage regulator is installed, the energy consumption will increase, and the weight and apparent volume of the biological battery will also be increased, which will outweigh the losses." ”
"There is no need to install a voltage regulator."
"The regulator is probably heavier than the battery."
Everyone agrees with Chen Hao's opinion that the voltage regulator should not be installed outside.
Since you can't find a way from the outside of the battery, you have to find a way from the inside.
The internal solution is to fix the colony.
"But how do colonies fix?"
That's the toughest problem everybody.
There is basically no way to fix liquids.
Zhou Xiao put forward his own idea and said: "We can think of a way from the structure of the test tube and the culture medium. ”
"Now whether it is a digestive bacteria or the ionized bacteria we have discovered, they are currently living in solution, and we can completely change the properties of the culture medium to make it a solid gel, so that the ionized substances are relatively fixed in the gel form."
"In addition, we can make some small lattices with millimeter structure in the test tube, so that the colonies live in a fixed lattice."
Zhou Xiao's proposed method made Mo Li's eyes light up, and she said: "This is a good way!" If the culture medium can be made into a gel, then all the problems will be solved. ”
Although the words are simple, there are still many technical problems to be solved in real implementation.
For example, what to add to the culture medium to make it gelatinous and not broken down by ionizing bacteria.
Another example is how a gelatinous culture can remain ionized so that the standard tube can continue to have a voltage output.
In addition, the design of standard test tubes is a major challenge.
However, the life science and medical laboratory has the best team, and Mo Li and others are also the best and most passionate young people.
Zhou Xiao believed that they would be able to think of a way.
These young people have been in the laboratory from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the National Day, without a day off, very hard.
Jiangcheng in winter is already very cold.
This cold and wet weather is very different from the cold in the north.
The moisture clings to your body and takes away your heat and body temperature as it evaporates.
In the winter of Jiangcheng, as long as you are outdoors, you will always feel that your body is wet and never dry.
The lab is very intimate and all the rooms are heated, so that the team can work with peace of mind.
The week before the Chinese New Year.
Colloidal medium was developed.
Colloidal media have two advantages.
One is that the colony is completely immobilized, allowing the colony to move only in a small area.
One is to increase the ionization capacity of colonies, and the gel increases the number of colonies per unit volume and the discharge effect.
In addition to gel-packed media, special test tubes have also been developed.
In addition to the many honeycomb-shaped small lattices inside the test tube, the drip irrigation port of the culture medium and the inlet of organic matter have been added, so that the colony can replenish energy at any time.
After perfecting the medium and test tubes, everyone sat together to re-experiment with ionized bacteria and record the entire process.
The experiment was relatively successful, and the discharge and voltage of the microbial battery formed by the new test tube and the new medium were very stable, even in a bumpy state.
The material of the test tube has also been changed from glass to lightweight titanium.
The experiments were all extreme and violent.
The experimenter dropped the test tube to the ground from a high place, and the effect was not bad, the position of the colony and gel was not scattered, the voltage was stable, and the discharge continued.
That evening, everyone was still discussing some of the details of the experiment.
Application and confidentiality security issues.
"If we have a biological battery like this, they can buy the culture liquid from us, and then take the battery apart and take out the ionized bacteria in it and cultivate it themselves."
"I have to believe that the people in our country have a very strong hands-on ability, and if the colony has the ability to reproduce, it won't take a few months, and there will be pirated batteries outside."
"Don't believe too much in the restrictions imposed on them by patents and laws, some biological companies can completely change the name of ionized bacteria, say that they have developed their own scientific and technological products, and then sell them to the outside world, which will be a very big blow to us."
"The lifespan of ionized bacteria is about one month, and they must be continuously multiplied in the culture medium, and it is impossible for consumers to change the battery once a month, so it is very inconvenient, and such a product will not be welcome."
Everyone's worries, Zhou Xiao also agreed with the price.
Zhou Xiao had already thought about this, and he said: "Actually, it is very simple to deal with this matter, we just need to find a way in our gel-like medium." ”
"For example, a substance on the gelatinous medium is a nutrient necessary for the reproduction of ionized bacteria, and without this nutrient colony it will not be able to multiply."
"We just need to control the life cycle of the gel medium, and my plan is one year. During the year, three conditions must be met for the survival and reproduction of ionized bacteria. ”
"One is that the gelatinous medium is not consumed, and the other is that the user has to regularly add liquid from the outside to allow the colony to survive."
"Among them, we sell liquid culture liquid to the outside world, and users can buy it in the market. However, we guarantee that one gel-packed medium per battery is not sold separately. ”
"The last one is that we analyze the population of ionized bacteria, and the reproduction generations of ionized bacteria sold to the outside world are effective, and they will lose their fecundity in about a year or so. In this way, we are able to ensure that ionized bacteria are not stolen to the greatest extent. ”
Zhou Xiao's setting is very good, unless someone opens every battery and takes out the colonies in it to reproduce, and the breeding time is more than a year before it loses its fecundity.
If anyone did do that, it would be very expensive and there would be no profit at all.
