Chapter 309: Surprise Scientific Research Achievements (Part II)
The perfect combination of weight and size? That doesn't seem realistic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Look here." Shen Huai clicked on a program.
This is a computer-simulated form of intelligent living beings.
In the half-year-long experiment, Shen Huai used the genes of pterosaurs as the basis, and screened out some genes he needed from the gene pool, and screened out the varieties he needed in repeated recombination experiments.
In the experimental engineering, due to poor gene combination or genetic defects, a total of 637 samples were not successfully converted from sporophytes to embryonic bodies, 1065 samples died in the embryonic stage or just three days after birth, and 756 samples are now living in the basement of Shen Huai's laboratory, but due to serious physiological defects, they are ugly and physically inadequate, and can only rely on Eno to live in cages for a lifetime.
"It's a very cruel experiment, but this kind of experiment is very necessary, through the permutation and combination of genes, we have searched for thousands of living organisms, which is very beneficial to the future development of intelligent organisms." Shen Huai tapped the table with his hand.
At this time, the big screen showed the experimental specimens in the basement who were ugly and horrible because of genetic defects, and could not work properly, they were living dementedly under the powerful artificial light, these living beings were not transplanted minds, and they did not have animal instincts, so it would be more appropriate to call them plant animals.
"It is because of the sacrifices of these samples that I have found the perfect gene of an animal from the genes of tens of thousands of people!" When Shen Huai said this, a bright color appeared in his eyes.
An animal appeared on the big screen - the umbrella lizard (folded lizard)!
Shen Huai said: "Umbrella lizards are the most famous expansive animals, usually they look lifeless, very small, very thin, and even skinny. But when you observe him for yourself, these little things will surprise you, and they will change a lot. The dangling skin on the lizard's neck suddenly unfolded, instantly changing its volume visually. ”
Shen Huai said with body language: "Wrinkles and expansion are the best ways to change the area and volume of an object, as for the bearing capacity, tensile strength, and bending strength, this is related to the properties of the object itself." The umbrella lizard gave me a lot of inspiration, imagine if a sapient creature could be fed like a pet at the size of a waiter in normal times, and when needed, it could completely spread its body and use it to carry weights and carry humans. ”
Shen Huai's simple words made it difficult for Ye Jinchuan and Liu Wen to change their thinking, the creature of the folded body is used to carry human beings, this is the way for human beings to travel in the future?
Obviously, Shen Huai's thinking is much deeper than Ye Jinchuan's, and in Ye Jinchuan's opinion, the effect of transforming the postman into a human mount to replace some cars on human beings is already a great thing! Shen Huai actually thought of the wrinkled creature!
"Wait a while, wait a while, you wait a while, I'll sort out my thoughts." and Shen Huai began to discuss the problem, and Ye Jinchuan entered a state of very quick thinking.
He tapped his temple with his hand and said, "You mean that the creature mount will be the ultimate way for humans to get around, so you don't care how much Tesla takes advantage of us, because no matter how much its electric car develops, it will eventually be replaced by our way of traveling." ”
Shen Huai smiled and replied very dryly: "Correct." ”
Ye Jinchuan said the second point of view that he understood: "In order to make the pet more convenient to carry or take up less space, you have researched the wrinkled creature, and its body will expand or deform in a sense when the creature is needed to carry humans." ”
"That's right!"
Ye Jinchuan continued: "And such a creature still has enough power and carrying capacity to carry humans, just like a postman can fly quickly with a heavy courier on his back?" ”
"Quite right!" Shen Huai applauded and said: "Xiao Chuanzi, your inductive and summarizing skills are quite strong, it's a pity that you didn't study liberal arts in high school." ”
Ye Jinchuan also had a serious relationship with Shen Huai in terms of words, and he expressed his doubts: "I just checked what is called an umbrella lizard, its other name is also called a folded lizard, the skin around the neck will open quickly like an umbrella when it encounters a crisis state, a very thin layer of skin, I think the same is true of the mount you mentioned, after all, there are not many things that can be accommodated in a small space." ”
Shen Huai laughed and nodded again and again, "Now that you have finally come to the point, the reason why the car can carry heavy weight is because it has a high-performance and high-strength keel, and the postman can carry so many couriers because it has a strong body, so how can our new manned creatures bear enough weight?" ”
Shen Huai clicked on the second video to solve the mystery, and showed Shen Huai's body structure involving manned creatures in this video.
The creature's skeleton has an infinite number of folded forms, and one can imagine the exaggeration of the area it occupies once it unfolds its body.
"Thanks to the genes of the pterosaur, the creature will have a very high degree of bone compactness, and the flexural, tensile strength, torsional and shear resistance of the skeleton will be 30 to 50 times that of humans, which provides a good basis for it to carry heavy loads!"
Shen Huai opened the next video, in the 3D perspective mode, the skeleton of the creature unfolded, and the body tissue covered with a thickness of 1cm covered by the skeleton was marked in green, and there were many skeletal structures like branch tubes under these tissues.
The data for the unfolded creature is given above - 4 meters long and 2.5 meters wide.
"Actually, the most important thing is the body tissue that covers these skeletons." Shen Huai 'knocked on the blackboard' to mark the key points.
"As you might expect, with an area of nearly 12.5 square meters in a limited body environment, its thickness is limited on average, and how to make such a limited thickness of body skin tissue carry a considerable amount of weight, this is a problem! Of course, if you want to talk about a thin layer of skin, it definitely won't work. So we found this from the gene pool! ”
A black 'widow' appears on the video.
"Spiders?" Ye Jinchuan exclaimed, and then the professional knowledge came to mind, he said: "The main chemical components of spider silk are glycine (NH2-CH2-COOH), alanine (NH2-CH[CH3]-COOH) and a small part of serine (NH2-CH[CH2OH]-COOH), which has irregular protein molecular chains in spider silk, which makes spider silk elastic; On the other hand, spider silk also has regular chains of protein molecules in it, which in turn gives spider silk its strength, which is four to five times stronger than rigid! That's why this thing is biologically called biosteel! Theoretically, it can be used for body armor, tank combat aircraft, protective shields for tanks, radars, satellites and other equipment, etc.! ”
Shen Huai continued to applaud: "Perfect! ”
