925 Ladder, Ladder!
Another major breakthrough project is the virus, and the progress made in virus research also benefits from the breakthrough in genetic analysis technology, the most direct effect of gene technology is that human beings can analyze the genetic function of the virus, so as to find the cause of infection in humans, and carry out targeted treatment.
These things may seem like nothing to say, and they don't seem to be any different from traditional gene therapy, but the previous treatment targeted the virus itself, while the new treatment targeted the human immune system!
Or to put it another way, genetic technology can improve the human immune system so that viruses cannot infect humans, so that no matter how feared the virus is, even the most terrifying level 4 virus, can no longer threaten humans.
It is expected that this achievement could be applied to the Space Fleet, Space Marines, and crews who have landed on other planets to prevent them from being infected by extraterrestrial microbes.
In addition to the results of experiments achieved by humans themselves, there is also a deep cooperation between humans and resistance groups at the level of biotechnology.
This collaboration was also first proposed by mankind to create a super-strong fiber that has never been stronger than ever!
The Resistance didn't know what humans wanted to do with it, and they couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so they simply agreed, and then the two sides engaged in a series of efficient and in-depth cooperation.
Beidu's plan is to obtain super strong materials through spider silk, especially the spider silk of giant spiders.
For this reason, the Northern Capital also specially sent a batch of spiders to Europa, hoping that the resistance organization would produce results as soon as possible.
However, after research by resistance groups, it is believed that the strength of spider silk is limited, and there is little room for improvement, and if it is reluctantly transformed, it is difficult to get a finished product that meets the strength standard.
Beidu pinned his hopes on the alien giant worm again, but none of the giant worms in the hands of the resistance organization could spin silk, and this plan died again.
At this point, the resistance group decided that this plan could no longer be realized, and suggested that the northern capital suspend the plan, but how could the northern capital give up? The structure of carbon nanotubes was directly given to the resistance tissues.
The Resistance is the same as the alien aristocracy, they are all seriously biased players, and they don't even know that there is something in the world called carbon nanotubes!
For this reason, Beidu had to do some science popularization to the aliens, starting from the atomic structure, it took a little time for the aliens to understand what carbon nanotubes are.
It is definitely a good idea to let organisms directly produce carbon nanotubes, but how to produce them is a difficult problem, the resistance groups have tried many times without success, and the northern capital is desperate, and an expert in the experimental center suddenly made a suggestion, why must animals secrete carbon nanotubes? Can't you just let the plants grow directly?
This suggestion woke up to the Northern Capital, which immediately informed the Resistance of the proposal.
The resistance group immediately organized experiments, and this time it only took more than half a month to succeed in an alien plant, and the strength exceeded the requirements of the Northern Capital.
When the news came back to Earth, it immediately caused an eighteen-magnitude earthquake in the upper echelons of the Northern Capital, and a series of instructions were issued from Zhongnanhai, and all the departments related to it were operational.
However, the northern capital did not want to use alien plants, and on the one hand, it continued to negotiate and find ways to exchange technology from the resistance; On the other hand, a batch of earth plants will be provided to the resistance groups, hoping that the resistance organizations will reinvent them based on the earth plants.
After paying some price in the northern capital, the resistance group agreed to two conditions, but the technology was very complicated, and the experimental center studied it day and night for more than a week after getting the video, and it was still confused about the situation.
The transformation of the resistance group went quite smoothly, and it didn't take much effort to change the three plants.
The resistance organization was easy to change, but it took a lot of effort to recover it in the northern capital, and a landing ship was specially sent to solve the problem.
Ye Han very, very, very much wanted to return to Earth with the landing ship, but hesitated and hesitated, and finally didn't say anything.
At this time, it is the beginning of 2029, the child has turned one year old, and Ye Han has not met the child once, so he can only explain the slander in the video.
Soon after, the Resistance began to cultivate carbon nanoplants on a large area on Europa, and stimulated the growth of such plants through biological means, and in just half a month, these plants grew high-strength carbon fibers, and they grew at an alarming rate every day.
Ye Han has one more task every day, that is, to measure the strength of carbon fiber on time, and once the strength is found to be insufficient, he must immediately report to the Northern Capital and the resistance organization.
At the same time, Beidu began to design the track elevator, and the preliminary plan was to use carbon nanofiber as the main body, the outer layer was covered with high-strength lightweight armor, and the inner layer was equipped with high-strength guard plates to form a "patio" from the ground to the synchronous orbit in outer space.
And in order to be more efficient, it must be two twin tracks side by side, and the equipment between the ground and the space station is a self-powered elevator cabin.
However, the first draft was only the first draft, and there were a lot of unreasonable designs in it, so the design institute subsequently made drastic revisions to the first draft.
The first improvement is to delete the patio that runs through the entire line, and only retain more than 100 kilometers from the ground to the outside of the atmosphere.
The elevator from the ground can only reach the platform, whether it is materials or personnel, it must be transferred to the spacecraft through the platform, and then continue to the destination.
This design is difficult to understand at first glance, but in fact it is actually needed - the altitude of the geosynchronous orbit is about 36,000 kilometers above sea level, that is, this is the length of the orbital elevator.
With carbon nanofibers, it is not difficult to make a cable that is 36,000 kilometers long and strong enough, but the problem is that the elevator needs to travel 36,000 kilometers to reach the space station in synchronous orbit from the ground, which is equivalent to going around the earth if it is thousands of kilometers away!
The kind of space elevator that runs all the way to a synchronous orbit in science fiction movies is simply unrealistic, that is, it does not conform to economic laws, nor does it conform to practical rules, and it is a proper subjective conjecture.
Moreover, the strength of carbon nanofibers is also limited, and the number of elevator cabins running on the cable must be limited, which greatly limits the transportation efficiency of rail elevators.
The low-orbit terminal scheme can reduce the transportation distance of the elevator from 36,000 kilometers to 120 kilometers, and this 120 kilometers is from the surface to space, that is, the most difficult section of the whole journey.
