Chapter 93 Nanodynamics
In the vast universe, the "Deep Space" is like a flat boat, flying lonely between two cantilever arms...... Countless distances have been crossed at a rapid pace, which is a great miracle that science can bring.
Inside the ship, the vast majority of people are sleeping peacefully, but a few are struggling......
The research team led by Dr. Felix met the ...... of his life The biggest challenge!
Their research group, a total of sixteen people, including biologists and top physicists, all applied for the long-term awakening spot.
Of course, this "long-term awakening" does not mean that you are awake all the time, but that you can work longer and avoid hibernation for a period of time.
As for the question of longevity, will it hang up earlier than others...... They don't care about that!
In the lab, this group of mad scientists has killed the red eye, and the calculation reports are piling up one after another.
Fortunately, now all of them are paperless offices, and if you measure it by paper, it will be dense for a long time, and there will be no place to put your feet.
Because of staying up late for a long time, the eyes of this group of scientists were all bloodshot, and their skin was loose and pale.
The health watch on their wrists was "Didi" reminding them that they needed to go back to sleep immediately, but they were ruthlessly pressed off.
"There's not enough time, in a few days, we'll have to hibernate again, alas," a researcher shook his head and let out a long sigh as he grabbed a handful ......of hairs and knocked off a few of them.
Their research group is eager to overcome the first line of defense for nanobots......
Build one of the simplest robots – the "Oxygen Transport Robot!" ”
That is, in a place with a high oxygen concentration, it will automatically absorb 1 billion oxygen molecules, and in a place with a low oxygen concentration, it will release this part of the oxygen and transport away carbon dioxide.
It sounds like the robot functions very simply, a bit like red blood cells.
But in practice, it is too difficult to fabricate a nanobot that can carry oxygen out of thin air......
It's hard...... Far beyond their imagination in every way!
First of all, the materials used are the most basic nanomaterials, not those in the macroscopic sense.
With such a small size, it is impossible to install any device to detect oxygen concentration, and it is also difficult to install motors, gears, and so on.
Even if these things were actually made, they wouldn't be able to be used.
Why, because chips don't work! Far from it!
This is the biggest headache for scientists during this time.
Silicon-based chips have reached their inherent limits at this scale, because of their own shackles.
Even though a chip the size of a red blood cell has been developed, this silicon-based chip, because the integration scale is too small, has limited computing power, and it is impossible to manipulate many complex components.
Moreover, its calculation speed can not be improved.
Yes, it can't be boosted any more!
This is also the biggest obstacle that nanoscience is currently encountering.
Without a sufficiently powerful chip, it means that nanobots have no core...... It's like a cell without DNA.
In this way, the original disciplines such as mechanical dynamics and information coding are all useless.
Moreover, this obstacle is theoretically difficult to overcome, because such a small silicon-based chip itself has the physical limit of computing power. Now, people are approaching this limit, but it is not enough.
"Silicon-based chips are no longer suitable for this kind of situation, and there is no solution. It is impossible to scale up the circuit again, and it is impossible to refine it again, otherwise the operation of the electrons will be disordered at the quantum scale, causing errors.
"There are two ways to ...... now"
"First, replace silicon-based chips with quantum chips, but I don't think it's very likely. Although the core of a quantum computer is small, it needs to be quite stable, and it needs to be ...... under conditions such as superconductivity and low temperatures This kind of condition is far from being able to be achieved by nanorobots. ”
Dr. Felix stood at the front of the institute and said with a serious face. They are discussing this.
The other fifteen people all thought with stiff faces.
People think that the problem is too simple, nanorobots, not the original robots can be reduced to the nanoscale.
Far from it!
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the material, for example, copper can be stable under normal conditions, but nano-copper can burn in oxygen...... These are minor issues.
It's just that the chip has shrunk so many times, Moore's Law has failed, and the computing power is completely insufficient.
That's the big question......
"The second method, the complete overthrow of the previous machine structure! We can only rely on the most basic chemistry or physics to measure the oxygen concentration, and we can only rely on the most basic reactions to absorb and release oxygen. ”
"This method is similar to imitation...... Structure of red blood cells! Instead, I think this approach is more likely. ”
Dr. Felix sighed and continued, "According to the nanobot specimens that we have, that is, the specimens obtained during the war. We found that there was no chip in it, and after the overall dissection, it felt a bit like biological cells, so I speculated that the destroyer civilization used this method. ”
"There is no greater wonder of nature than this...... In the development of nanorobots, we still have to learn from nature. ”
Hearing this, another scientist said: "In this way, traditional mechanics, mechanics, and informatics can no longer be used, and we must build another set of dynamics...... It's hard! It's hard! ”
"Since the traditional chips can't be used...... It is also necessary to develop a new programming language. It can't be said to be a program anymore, it's just a goal, similar to a genetic goal! ”
"It is only at the nanoscale that we can set this goal and get rid of the constraints of the chip. Nanobots, like biological cells, have their own functions. ”
Dr. Felix nodded: "Yes, this discipline is called the nanopower discipline, and it is impossible for us to build nanorobots until this nanopower discipline is perfected." But this discipline is already similar to ...... Life has been created! ”
This is also a similar conclusion left by the previous research group...... Let's take a look at this part of the literature first. ”
Seeing the people who were pondering, Dr. Felix pointed to one of them: "First of all, we need to find templates based on molecular dynamics and chemical dynamics, and our main idea is to use various nanokinetic templates to piece together robots. And the source of these templates still needs to be learned from biological cells...... A long-term project! ”
The other fifteen nodded silently, mentally prepared.
Even all the scientists, are ready.
I don't know if I don't study, but I don't know, this ultra-high complexity makes everyone feel that their intelligence has reached the limit.
The complexity of a nanobot is far greater than that of "Deep Space"! If you measure it by atoms, it's billions, tens of billions of atoms!
"Deep Space" is so big, it is impossible to have tens of billions of parts, but ...... Nano bots have!
Humans have indeed picked up the remnants of alien nanobots, but their structure is completely beyond people's cognition, and it is not a traditional robot structure at all.
There is no way for humanity to recover.
The nanokinetic template is equivalent to assembling atoms and molecules into something slightly useful, similar to proteins in biology. These kinetic templates, which have certain physical and chemical functions, slightly simplify the design steps.
Otherwise, it is really impossible to use atoms to forcibly design and estimate the level of human beings.
After the discussion, the research team began to tirelessly search for the most basic nanodynamic template. They tried to leave more information for the researchers behind them before the next slumber.
For scientists, as long as there is a way ahead, they will unswervingly continue to walk, no matter how complex and difficult it is......
If you wake up and find that your predecessors have left you with more knowledge, of course, it is a more refreshing thing.
