The Nick of Intertwined Fates Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nanomachines (Part II)

As if returning to the classroom career of the training camp, Ye Suqin was sitting on a chair, in front of him was a huge projection screen, which was densely packed with large pieces of unknown formulas and a diagram of the nanomachine magnified countless times, in a semi-sectional state, with three eye-catching red arrows to identify the three internal areas of the machine, namely the core intelligence area, the work area and the protective layer area.

Carterit's training course is located on the ninth floor of the function building, and a spacious conference room has been recruited for them.

The trainees who passed the assessment were called here for a week of nanomachine theory training, which is part of the after-sales service, and the main purpose is to let these soldiers who will be equipped with this epoch-making weapon of mankind fully and systematically understand the operating principles and maintenance methods of the entire weapon, so that they can adapt to its rhythm faster and better on the battlefield.

The class was attended by a middle-aged scholar with gray temples, one of whom had come with Livia's group. This man named Odinga has 30 years of work experience immersed in the field of nanomachines, and the depth and breadth of his understanding are completely incomparable to this group of newcomers, and this person has a unique teaching style, is humorous, and the PPT is also simple and easy to understand, and full of fun.

The group below listened attentively.

There are only five of them who passed the assessment this time, not counting the eighteenth, he is just a "bodyguard", because Ya is still observing in the intensive care unit, so it is a pity that he did not participate, only the four of them, sitting on the soft sofa and concentrating on making notes.

Nanomachines, an emerging robotics engineering technology that has been prevalent in the 21st century, belong to the category of "molecular nanotechnology" (MNT), which designs prototypes according to biological principles at the molecular level, and designs and manufactures "functional molecular devices" that can operate in nanospace.

However, until 2020, it was still only an academic idea, and although a large number of so-called nanorobots in various fields were produced at that time, the fine structure and its functionality were still only capable of simple one-way engineering operations. For example, deep-sea operations, such as human medical treatment, do simple and repetitive work in extreme environments that are beyond the reach of humans.

But it's still too delusional to fight, especially against supernatural phenomena like metamorphosis.

It was not until 2033 that a breakthrough was made in this topic, when the Hand of God, an ancient genetic code was discovered under the Arctic ice.

Odinga lectured endlessly from the podium, "Human beings have gone through more than two hundred years on the road of exploring the potential of the body, from the inhumane human experiments of the Third Reich of Germany, the experiments of human-animal hybridization to the mutant biological experiments of country M in the later period, in all kinds of film and television dramas and literary publications, you should have also been exposed to all kinds of feasible or infeasible, unbridled creations. Haha, in fact, I am also addicted to these works, but most of them have proven to be undesirable, such as genetic enhancement technology. ”

"Genetic enhancement technology is the most controversial and anticipated project of the 21st century, which aims to transcend the limits of human beings at the cellular level by editing the genetic code, and shape people into superhumans who are immortal. Of course, the old chaebol men who are loyal to invest in this project do not value any super soldier or the flying Spider-Man, haha, but whether this project can prolong life and increase life. Of course, it turned out that their vision was quite unique, and this technique had its limitations, and I think all of you here have been injected with genetic drugs, and it is true that in a sense, these drugs have the miraculous effect of enhancing muscle strength, body coordination, concentration, and mental strength, but ..... Yes, everything is afraid of everything, but its increase is very limited, it can't turn people into supermen at all, it can't go beyond the physical limit of human beings, it can only get infinitely close to this upper limit, for example, Usain Bolt can run 9 seconds 69 seconds, you can run 9 seconds 71 or 72 after receiving the potion and going through the same training as him, yes, infinitely close, but not beyond it. To put it bluntly, it's just a high-end health care drug with full effect. ”

"So, yes, it's pointless, even if you become the fastest runner in the human race, you can't outrun the cheetah, this is the limit of human physiology, you can't go beyond it, so you're still going to be eaten, there's no way."

"That's why I just said that the vision of those old chaebol men is still quite unique and forward-looking. Yes, this technology can help them get infinitely close to the ultimate lifespan of human beings, thinking about it this way, it seems that the money has not been wasted, although the follow-up results, they have not enjoyed any of them, there is no way, the world war broke out, everyone is dead, haha. The professor told a funny joke, and the people below laughed twice in agreement.

"So if this road doesn't work, is there another path that is relatively viable?" The professor asked.

"Nanomachines." Almost all of them gave the same answer.

"Yes, but these are all conclusions that you have come up with as a result, and in fact, we never conceived of nanomachines as a subject in the first place. Whether it is in exoskeleton armor, biochips, or even human body modification, it is more feasible and reliable than nanomachines. At the craziest time, a mad scientist even proposed to replace the bones in the human body with titanium metal-based, extensible, high-hardness, high-density synthetic materials, replace the muscles with plastic materials, and replace the meridian vascular nerves with catheters and electronic circuits with excellent phases, so as to create alternative super soldiers. What does this look like? Yes, the prototype of the Terminator starring Governor Schwarzenegger was released in 1984, I don't know if the big guys have seen it, but I highly recommend you to take a look, haha. Of course, after spending a lot of money and budget, all the problems have entered the same dead end as gene technology. ”

"Each plan seems to be feasible, but the limit seen so far is only to increase the basic value of the body a little, but it cannot go beyond the realm of flesh and blood, and become an invulnerable, flying superman. So the question is, just to improve a little physical fitness, what is the meaning of war? Let the soldiers carry a few more bullets, a few shells? So what's the point of all this high-tech? It may work wonders in cannibalism between people, but compared to the huge cost of production, it makes no sense to kill one or two more enemies on the battlefield, because these things can be done with a penny bullet at the same cost, and it is cheap. The professor paused, took a sip of the mineral water on the table, and moistened his throat.

Everyone at the bottom fell into deep thought.

The professor raised his eyelids and looked down, time passed minute by minute, and seeing that the time was almost up, he knocked on the light screen, and the pattern on it changed, turning into a large gray outline, which seemed to have been illuminated with some kind of instrument, showing a nondescript meridian pattern, but it was very shallow and could not be seen clearly. But Rao is like this, a stubborn delusion in the blood is burning, and a spiritual impact with grandeur and solemnity spreads silently.

The pattern is like a condescending view of the king, Rao is far away, but he can still clearly feel the domineering and natural coercion of the higher life forms that come out of the picture.

It was the scream of the soul, it was the throbbing of life, it was the nature that longed to be annihilated, torn apart, to be fused.

"Hand of God, the greatest discovery of the century!" The professor's eyes were blazing, flashing with a light similar to faith, which made it impossible to look at him directly.

"What you see now is the remains of God. In fact, the original does not look like this, but there is no way, he is an invisible existence, with our current technology, it is very reluctant to find its existence, and it is impossible to map its original appearance, it is a fantasy, after all, it is a god. What you're seeing now are the bits and pieces that we've shown with the help of some instruments, which are images that have been revealed by a tomography scanner with multidimensional space technology. You should be able to feel it from the image, like something, right? Yes, it's a lot like the cells in our organization, and honestly, what you're seeing is the smallest unit of God, the God-based fragment. ”

"The so-called god-based fragment, a popular way of understanding, is equivalent to various cells in our body, what we currently capture is this kind of substance, don't ask me what the god looks like, sorry, I haven't seen it either. You may joke that you have all discovered each other's cells, and you will know the original appearance after reverse mapping, haha, I want to too, but the amount of computing for reverse engineering, roughly estimated, with 10 million galaxy-level computers, it will take a hundred years of sleepless work, and we can't even get ten now. The professor smiled wryly and spread his hands.

"Look over here," the professor said, drawing a circle around a small area above the pattern, which was densely packed with countless branches, and looked like an infinite number of branches extending out, with a sac at the end. A rough guess is that it is similar to the cytoplasm or protein carrier of the human body.

"See this organ similar to the end of a neuron, yes, this sac, this is a text symbol, yes, you heard it right, this is an infinitely folded text symbol, not an organ, and the amount of information contained in each layer is equivalent to ten British Library cellars, and such a text symbol, there are more than 70,000 trillion in the entire Shenji fragment."

Everyone was stunned by this appalling figure, and one by one they opened their mouths wide as if they were looking at some kind of diorama, and they were amazed.

The professor drew a large circle over the entire neuron, and said, "The whole capsule, and the connectomes that connect the capsule that look like nerve fibers, and the myelin sheath behind it." These three elements form a minimal functional unit, which is what we are going to focus on today - power! ”

The professor raised his hand, and a flickering flame burst out in his palm, the flame grew rapidly, expanding at a geometric speed, and finally turned into a small sun standing horizontally in the palm of the other party's palm, three or four meters away, the surging burning sensation baked everyone's faces, and a pungent burnt smell overflowed from the hair, eyebrows, and hairs all over the body.

Everyone subconsciously moved their chairs to the back, and at the same time looked at the professor's gaze, becoming solemn and afraid. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man who looked like Sven Wen and was weak turned out to be a capable person.

The professor waved his hand seemingly nonchalantly, and the sun in his hand disappeared, and he smiled and said, "To make you more intuitive, I showed a hand, and what I did just now is what I want to talk aboutβ€”power. ”

"The so-called power, if you want to subdivide it, it is a long story, it is estimated that three days and three nights can only be roughly introduced, but fortunately, you are not studying these things as scholars, it is simple, you can be hastily understood as a superpower. Generating fire is one power, and generating ice is another. As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a cold air gathered in his palm.

"Okay, having said that, now everyone here should have more or less guessed the outline of some nanomachines." The professor smiled, "We're going to look back at our nanomachine structures again. As he spoke, he tapped on the light screen again, and a schematic diagram of the anatomy of the nanomachine elements magnified countless times flashed.

"We talked about some of the other supernatural research and development fields before, and they have inevitably entered a dead end, and this dead end is that all mechanical units are not intelligent enough, or more precisely, they are not intelligent. So, on this topic, we've made a breakthrough, which is what you see now as Valhalla. ”

"The so-called Valhalla is a very small blockchain in the nano system, but it is indeed a crucial blockchain, and it is also the core part of the whole system. It is also the most difficult and expensive part of technology. ”

"To put it bluntly, Valhalla is a weapon platform, it does not have any combat capabilities in itself, it is a platform, but any weapon is indispensable to this platform. For example, if you want your left hand to be able to emit electromagnetic waves, then you have to load the corresponding nano machine equipped with electromagnetic wave function, but this nano component cannot be directly carried on your left hand, you must pass through a conduit, a platform, and act its ability on your left hand, but its mechanical socket cannot be on your left hand, otherwise the machine element is carried on your left hand, and an electromagnetic wave is emitted, and your hand can't bear the energy first, and it will blow up into powder, then the cart before the horse. ”

Valhalla is a service that is like an old-age smartphone where you can download all kinds of apps according to your needs, but the phone itself doesn't have the features of those apps, it's just a platform. I don't know if you understand this. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, so let's talk about how Valhalla works."
