Time slipped away in the hectic work, the effects of the war were slowly smoothed out, and everything was moving in a normal direction.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since the interstellar war of "Dig 114".

In the course of a year, Deep Space was finally roughly repaired. Of course, it can only be approximately...... The recovery of all kinds of weapons and equipment is not so fast at all, and it is estimated that it will take several years to grind all kinds of details.

Seeing the decreasing material warehouse, Yu Yifeng, who was at the helm, became more and more unhappy, and he always had a sense of irritability......

Moreover, the recent statistics on the use of resources have exceeded the standard again, giving him a feeling that he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Resources are life!

Either way, Deep Space still needs to be patched......

After a few emergency turns, the ship was out of the maximum danger zone, still remaining at the speed of light, and the image outside the window never seemed to change......

Nothing in the outside world can be detected!

I don't know if the "Diger 114" was neutralized under the anger of the enemy, and I don't know if there are any enemy troops behind......

Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh.

There are worries, but there are also joys.

This year is a year of recuperation after the Great War. What's more...... The footsteps of science have taken an important step!

……

“…… Nanorobots are a key research direction in the future, not only for warfare, but also for people's livelihood projects. With our current technology, we can study and fabricate simple nanorobots of 10,000 nanometers, which is the volume of red blood cells......"

"It's mainly divided into two aspects: manufacturing and design. The manufacturing difficulties can be solved by Gaia Creature 'Ling', and now we are facing the main design problem......"

“…… Nanobots are divided into two types: self-replicating and non-self-replicating......"

On the stage was physicist Felix, who was red-hot explaining a major newly published paper...... A major theoretical breakthrough in nanotechnology!

They used "Ling" to create a very, very small ...... A silicon-based chip the size of a red blood cell!

Several experts in the audience were asking questions with feverish expressions, as if some of the questions had scratched Felix's itch, and he said as he danced and gesticulated.

“…… Replicable bots are actually more complex because replication is an entropy reduction process. Therefore, nanorobots, in order to replicate or work like living organisms, must absorb negative entropy from the open environment, that is, ...... Tap in the energy you can use! ”

"Yes, energy is our current research focus......"

Deep Space has been invaded by so many nanobots, even if all of them were destroyed by strong currents and high temperatures, there were some that were not completely damaged, and these small things were collected and became the best research objects.

I don't know if this epoch-making paper is the result of the tremendous pressure brought about by the war or the flash of inspiration of scientists......

"As you can see in this image, in order to solve the energy problem, we first use chemicals to supply energy. We can simulate the entire replication process through computer calculations......"

"A self-replicating nanobot floats in a bottle of chemical agent with plenty of energy and materials for it to replicate itself."

"At first, the first self-replicating nanobot replicates in 100 seconds, and the second replicates in the same amount of time, so that two replicates become four, and four becomes eight, and the rate increases by multiples by ......"

"If this bottle of chemical is continuously injected and left unchecked, within a day these robots will replicate a 1-ton robot, and after a few days its number will increase very frighteningly......"

“…… Of course, the limitations of using chemicals as an energy source are too great...... So, I wondered if it was possible to solve this problem by developing wireless energy transmission technology. ”

……

After the meeting, Yu Yifeng was dizzy again, in fact, there were a lot of formulas and professional terms involved, and almost everyone was dizzy.

Few people can understand the fruits of a year's labor.

Yu Yifeng only knows that in this kind of meeting, the problems of energy and structural design are still a difficult point.

"A chip the size of a red blood cell, a poor ...... that is slow"

It's always a good thing to get off to a good start, though.

At the meeting, scientists collectively believed that the ability of Gaia's bio "Ling" itself could be used to create nanorobots.

Therefore, the difficulties of manufacturing technology can be skipped temporarily, mainly because of the design.

This in itself is a matter of course, and if "Ling" is allowed to build warships and cannons, it will be the biggest waste!

Among them, there are many difficulties in design, and there are still many difficulties to overcome, which can be said to be a completely new set of theories. However, the reverie brought by nanobots ...... It's still very good, and it also brings the greatest motivation to the researchers.

"Scientists are developing a variety of nanorobots that can enter the microscopic world of the human body according to the principles of molecular pathology, which are expected to be used to remove harmful substances, repair damaged genes, activate cellular energy, maintain human health and prolong human life......"

"This kind of medical nanorobot, which is still in its infancy, is as large as a few millimeters long and as small as a few microns in diameter. There are about twenty-seven research groups working on these things......" Yu Yifeng checked the information and read it out softly.

"There hasn't been much progress yet, but what is certain is that nanobots will bring about a real revolution in the coming decades. It will allow people to live longer and overcome almost all diseases. Humans also don't need to be afraid of alien bacteria. ”

"Not only that, but the bold application of nanotechnology includes the use of nanomachines to organize the obtained carbon atoms one by one to turn them into beautiful diamonds...... Although the demand for diamond is not large, it is an idea anyway...... Recombination of molecules. ”

"Since diamond can ...... Others should work as well. Reintegrate air molecules into the needed, partial...... That's pretty good, let's use nanobots to build cars and spaceships! ”

Yu Yifeng said to himself, his expression became a little excited: "...... Isn't this the ability that Ling has......"

"It's hard to ......," Yuriko shook her head.

Yu Yifeng was unmoved, and began to say excitedly: "No matter what, nanobots are in the military, people's livelihood...... No matter what the field, you can use it almost all in a few years. How many years do you think it will take? ”

Yuriko shook her head and said a little angrily: "A person who is not engaged in scientific research, you really think about the problem too simply. Nanobots are so small that it is difficult to reserve large-scale energy and perform complex tasks......"

"Build a battleship out of thin air with nanobots...... You can also say this kind of layman's language. ”

"Do you think a nanobot is more complicated than a Yuyan?"

"No doubt, nanobots!" Not equal to Yi Feng's answer, Yuriko gave an unexpected answer to herself: "The simplest nanorobot, a thousand times more complicated than Yuyan, ten thousand times!" ”

She shook her head and sighed again: "You know, a human red blood cell is equivalent to the simplest cell. If you want to start at the atomic and molecular level, the complexity is beyond our imagination, but it only has a few simple functions: it transports oxygen, and it also transports a part of carbon dioxide. ”

"What about a nanobot? In our power, it can only be simpler than red blood cells...... Building a robot from the most microscopic level is similar to fabricating a microscopic biological cell! It's hard, it's really hard! ”

"If you want to manipulate petaflops of nanobots at the same time to build a complex spaceship...... I suggest you don't think about it, how much computation and complexity does this need? ”

"It's a bit possible to manipulate the robot and make a square piece of iron...... It is the first goal we need to achieve at this stage. ”

Yu Yifeng shook his head disappreciatively, and laughed: "Of course people have to have dreams, if you can build a warship with nanorobots, then industrial production capacity will not be a problem at all...... Though...... Even in L4 civilizations, it is difficult to fulfill this dream, but what if it comes true......"

"It's only one year now, and we still have a long, long time in the future."

When Yu Yifeng said this, his words changed, "Speaking of which, how have you decided to solve the problem of energy reserves?" ”

Talking about scientific issues, Yuriko said very seriously: "First, it is wireless energy transmission, which is equivalent to using a magnetic field to transfer energy, and this scheme is the most appealed and simplest scheme. ”

"Second, the effective energy that you have access to...... That is, chemical agents, such as medical nanorobots, can use blood sugar in the blood ......"

"Third...... Using the vacuum zero-point energy in the Casimir effect, of course! This is the ultimate source of energy, but there are still many things to break through in theory......

"We are now starting from the aspect of bionics, and we want nanorobots to imitate some simple cell functions...... It's a big challenge, both theoretically and technically......"

When she said this, the girl was not depressed, but had a feeling of confidence.
