Chapter 081 New Materials - Spider Silk Imitation Fibers

Half a month later, Qin Fengyan received a prompt from the system.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving an achievement that is ahead of the R&D level of Azure Star's new materials, and has obtained the permission to freely enter and exit the industrial world for ten years [Industrial World Time]!"

"It's been 21 years, and it's finally done. He immediately put down what he was doing, clenched his fists, and jumped up with excitement.

After 21 years in the industrial world, it's been a long time since I can finally return to reality.

If you count it by time alone, he is already in his 50s at this time.

Of course, the reality is that most of the time is spent on meditation.

At this time, he couldn't wait to go out and have a look, but the person in charge of the new material experimental base had already sent him a message.

"Master, the research experiment of imitation spider silk fiber has been successful, and industrial production can be realized. ”

"Good, good. Then keep working hard and try to achieve my second achievement in 10 years. He replied.

Then take out the research experiment report of spider silk fiber, a new material of imitation material, from the warehouse.

Spider-like silk fibers are what Azure researchers call the existence of biosteel of the future.

For millions of years, spiders have produced the finest silk threads and used them to weave webs to capture prey and reproduce. Once any flying insect breaks into the cobwebs, it will not escape the fate of becoming its delicacy.

Scientists at Azure Star have noticed the extraordinary properties of spider silk.

First of all, spider silk is very thin but very strong, it is thinner than human hair and stronger than steel wire.

Secondly, it has good flexibility and elasticity, and has strong impact resistance.

It has good performance in both dry and wet conditions.

Spider silk webs also have good resistance to low temperatures. Spider silk is elastic at minus 40°C and only hardens at lower temperatures, making it particularly advantageous when it needs to be used at low temperatures.

Since spider silk is made up of proteins, it is biodegradable.

It is very rare that these excellent properties are concentrated in the same fiber.

Researchers began to consider that if the fiber could be produced in large quantities and economically by artificial methods, it would have a profound impact on the development of the fiber and textile industry.

At present, many countries of Azure Star have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the research of spider silk fibers, and considerable progress has been made.

However, the mass production of spider silk fiber is the biggest problem, and industrial production cannot be achieved at present.

As for the production of spider silk imitation fibers, there are three ways.

One is to transplant the synthetic gene that can replicate spider silk protein into goats, and the goat milk produced by goats contains proteins similar to spider silk proteins.

But how to spin the protein in goat's milk is a problem to be solved by Azure Star researchers.

The second way is to transplant the gene that produces spider silk protein into a microorganism, so that the microorganism can produce a large number of proteins similar to spider silk protein during the reproduction process.

However, how to use the method of industrial alcohol to produce this bacteria or yeast in large quantities, and then isolate this protein similar to spider silk protein as a raw material for spinning is a big problem.

The third way is to transplant the synthetic genes that produce spider silk protein into plants, such as peanuts, tobacco, and cereals, so that the plants can produce large quantities of proteins similar to spider silk proteins.

The protein is then extracted as a raw material for the production of spider-like silk.

To sum up, how to extract the raw materials for the production of imitation spider silk from these three methods is the biggest problem for Azure Star researchers.

But this problem has been overcome by Qin Fengyan's imitation spider silk research and experimental factory.

The synthetic gene that produces spider silk protein is transplanted into a plant, which then produces a protein similar to spider silk protein in large quantities.

The extraction of raw materials has reached a mature stage.

In this way, the research and development of the new material imitation spider silk is completely ahead of Sky Blue Star, so that he has achieved the achievement of this new material.

In terms of use, spider silk has a higher strength than aramid, and calculations have shown that a spider silk rope with a diameter of 10mm can hold a flying jet.

Spider silk has the ability to absorb huge amounts of energy, is resistant to low temperatures, and at the same time it is a natural product, a biodegradable and recyclable material.

In the military, bulletproof vests made of spider silk perform better than those made of aramid.

It can also be used to make armor for tanks and aircraft, as well as "body armor" for military buildings, etc.

In aerospace, it can be used for structural materials, composite materials and aerospace clothing, among others.

In construction, structural materials and composites are used in bridges, high-rise buildings and civil buildings, among others.

In terms of food. It can be used to replace packaging plastics that cause white pollution.

It is especially widely used in medicine and health care.

Because spider silk is a natural product, it is composed of proteins and has good compatibility with the human body, so it can be used as high-performance biomaterials, such as artificial tendons, artificial ligaments, artificial organs, tissue repair, wound treatment, ultra-fine and ultra-fine biodegradable surgical sutures for eye surgery and neurosurgery......

Qin Fengyan knew that this new material would play a huge role in future industrial development, and immediately included it in the scope of key industries. Independently set up an imitation spider silk raw material supply area and an imitation spider silk production industrial zone for it.

Temporarily invest 100,000 types of work to carry out this work.

As for what kind of products will be used for imitation spider silk, the product planning department will first make a plan for him to see.

In terms of the current production of industrial products, if this new material is needed, the person in charge of the own factory will arrange it.

He ordered priority supply to the Biotechnology Medical Research and Experimental Zone.

At the same time, he has decided to send this imitation spider silk into reality as the first blockbuster product of Fengyan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.

The only supply is to hospitals, where doctors use artificial tendons, artificial ligaments, artificial organs, tissue repair, wound management, eye surgery and neurosurgery for patients.

And in terms of the price and the requirements of the agreement, he will make a series of arrangements at that time......

"Mom, Dad. I'll go first. "Su Xueyue and her parents finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and prepared to go back to Qin Fengyan's residence.

Her parents were shocked by her mother's miraculous recovery.

But this is a great thing, and in order to prevent trouble, the family is silent.

At first, when I faced the doubts of relatives and friends, I also used the diagnosis to be wrong, but it was actually a small problem to perfunctory.

So much time had passed, and no one had paid attention to her mother's recovery.

For some changes in Su Xueyue in the past three months, plus no longer living at home.

Her parents had long been aware of this situation and had asked a few times, but they were all perfunctory by her.

But today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she still has to go out, and judging by the situation, she will definitely not go home tonight. This made Su Yunlin and Qin Ru sigh a little.

In previous years, Su Xueyue accompanied them to watch the Spring Festival Gala until the turn of the clock, but this year, their daughter was going out after dinner, which made them feel as if their daughter was married.

It's just that their daughter has grown up, and they can only worry about their daughter's safety and whether she is physically and mentally healthy, and it is not good to interfere and ask too much about private matters.
