The rise of nanometers

the next day.

Everyone gathered enough energy, or checked a lot of information, to continue yesterday's discussion.

They summarized the challenges associated with transition body technology.

The function of the transition body is to be a biochemical laboratory attached to the human body. In addition, it also needs to have certain protective capabilities, medical capabilities, and assistance capabilities.

In terms of various functions, nanorobots can guarantee most of the supporting functions; but for the core function, that is, the biochemical laboratory function, nanorobots with this function seem to be stretched thin.

In order to realize the functions of the biochemical laboratory, everyone discussed and discussed, but decided to start with the fluorescent fungi.

After all, the advantages of fluorescent fungi are too great. Under the right environment, fluorescent fungi can reproduce one generation every 18 hours, and the gene mutation rate is as high as 2 to 15%. This is a natural accelerator of evolution.

However, this high-speed mutation characteristic is also a double-edged sword. Once out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

According to everyone's assumptions, the transitional body will be designed to be in an armor state similar to genetically modified clothing. It can be worn on the host every day and can be disguised as clothes and skin.

In other words, the transition body and the host are closely connected. If the transition body mutates into an out-of-control deadly virus, the host will be very likely to be infected.

There are several solutions to how to avoid this problem. Finally, Huang Xiuyuan decided to take a multi-pronged approach.

On the one hand, it relies on nanorobots, hoping that future nanorobot technology can form a solid line of defense between the human body and the transition body.

At the same time, we must also develop nanorobots that can destroy and identify organic matter. Only the emergence of such nanorobots can suppress rapidly mutating microorganisms, cancer cells, and the like.

After all, the way nanorobots destroy organic matter is mainly physical means. With this method, microorganisms will develop resistance very slowly.

Of course, the so-called physical means are actually chemical drug treatments, vaccines, etc., if we boil it down to the final analysis, they are also a type of physical means.

After all, the underlying rules of chemical reactions and biological reactions are changes in chemical bonds, and chemical bonds are the combination and separation of atoms.

Chemistry is still physics after all.

For example, the electric field synthesis technology developed by Xie Qing's team is changing the current chemical technology landscape.

The previously complex chemical synthesis has been transformed into a simple and crude physical synthesis. From the basis of the physical rules of the universe, chemistry is a branch of physics, which can also be said to be a "derivative of surface rules."

Huang Xiuyuan and other researchers all understand one thing: not to fight head-on with the enemy in its areas of strength, but to look for its areas of weakness.

From a rule level, the carbon-based organisms discovered so far are highly dependent on chemical rules, and many behaviors fall within the chemical range.

As for carbon-based organisms themselves, it is difficult to directly break through the atomic level. Even microorganisms that mutate at high speed cannot survive ultra-high temperatures, ultra-low temperatures, gamma rays, and neutron irradiation intact.

Once the physical destructive force exceeds the endurance limit of a creature, the creature will be completely destroyed.

Just like the glowing fungus, no matter how fast it mutates, it still won't be able to get a box lunch under the ultra-high temperature at the center of a nuclear explosion.

Everyone's idea is very simple, that is, to use nanorobots to directly destroy the organic matter of living organisms. No matter how powerful the microorganism is, there is no way to be immune to this attack.

After all, the basis of living things is the polymer of polymer compounds. The strength of the chemical bonds within the molecules determines the limits of living things.

It is impossible for chemical bonds to withstand pure physical destruction such as neutron irradiation, gamma rays, and ultra-high temperatures.

The current technical route of nanorobots is electrochemistry formed by the team of Huang Xiuyuan and Xie Qing.

That is to analyze the characteristics of each chemical bond, and then find the most cost-effective way to complete the destruction or formation of chemical bonds.

As long as organisms are within the category of carbon-based organisms, there is basically no possibility of resistance when faced with the electrochemistry of nanorobots.

In the first draft of the transition body currently designed, it is planned to use nanorobots as the core means to curb the runaway genes of the transition body.

With the means of restricting the transition body, everyone will begin to consider how to realize the functions of a biochemical laboratory.

Although it has been decided to introduce fluorescent fungi, this introduction is not a direct introduction. It definitely requires targeted transformation of the fluorescent fungi.

Inside the transition body, there is the host's gene database, and the fluorescent fungus must be added. The balance between the two needs to be considered.

Huang Xiuyuan plans to use isolation storage to store the modified special fluorescent fungus in an organ of the transition body. This organ is called the "evolved poison sac", and the special fluorescent fungus inside is called the "evolved poisonous fungus".

It is isolated inside the poison sac and separated from other organisms in the transition body to prevent the fluorescent fungus from constantly mutating in the body.

Then there is the need to design various organs for biochemical experiments. These organs are called "evolution chambers" and are also isolated from the main body of the transition body.

There are "dormant stem cells" inside the evolution chamber. These stem cells are in a dormant state under normal conditions.

When biochemical experiments are needed, these stem cells can be activated, allowed to develop into body tissues and organs, and then injected with evolved toxins.

Biochemical experiments are conducted in the evolution chamber. After the mutation is completed, the gene transcription nucleus, an accessory organ of the evolution chamber, will simultaneously record these mutated genes, or new organic substances (such as antibodies) produced by the reaction.

It is not enough to have an evolutionary poison sac, an evolution cavity, and a gene transcription core. Next, an organ for clinical testing is needed, that is, a "simulation sac."

The simulation capsule is similar to the evolution chamber. It also has dormant stem cells inside, which can be used to test mutant genes and antibodies to see whether these mutant genes and antibodies can work in the simulation capsule.

Anyway, this set of miniature biochemical experiment systems is designed to realize the rapid evolution of human beings so that humans can quickly adapt to the environment of alien planets.

The design work went quite smoothly, but the subsequent technical implementation made everyone have to think hard.

Many things look simple, but are actually very difficult.

Just customizing the fluorescent fungus so that it can become an accelerator of human evolution according to everyone's assumptions is a big problem.

For this reason, a special laboratory had to be set up to transform fluorescent fungi.

The research institute that Huang Xiuyuan visited in Australia had a group of researchers specifically responsible for transforming the imaginary fluorescent fungi.

In addition, cloning technology and the transformation of suitable stem cells and artificial organs are all difficult problems.

However, Huang Xiuyuan is not too disappointed. This is just the beginning of the plan. It is normal to have difficulties.

There are no roads in the world; roads are made by people.

It is the goal of a group of researchers to develop transitional bodies and allow humans to embark on a future of rapid evolution. It is also an exploration of current scientific development.

The road ahead is long, and even if it is bumpy, it cannot stop their hearts yearning for the truth. Perhaps this is the romance of scientists.

Discussions continued intermittently for more than a month, and finally on September 13, the preliminary design of the transition body was finalized.

The next task is to allocate research and development work. The Federation, which has huge manpower and material resources, mobilized more than 6,000 relevant scientific researchers and a large amount of funds to invest in this project in less than a week.
