In Asia's No. 3 Nano Laboratory, Lan Nuo and Wang Miao are conducting reverse research on the remains extracted from a large number of human bodies that were damaged by nanomachines, trying to crack the Trisolaran nanotechnology.
"No, I can't find their control system at all. These things seem to have an extra operating system out of thin air. They only need to receive instructions from the outside to work. A lot of space and materials can be saved in the structure for configuration.
Functional equipment." Wang Miao frowned as he looked at the scanned image of the nanomachines.
Although there is still a certain gap between humans and Trisolarans in terms of materials, it is not necessarily impossible to imitate something like this. After all, the Earth Trisolaran organization uses human industrial equipment. Since the Earth Trisolaran organization
Organizations can do it, and humans with abundant resources cannot fail to do it.
Lan Nuo looked at this structural diagram, then shook his head and said: "Let me solve the control system aspect. Use genetic materials such as DNA and their transcription process to control. I already have some ideas. The preparation of genetic materials
.In fact, it is very similar to writing a computer program.
We must know that when our computers first wanted to input data into the internal part, they also had to use punched paper tapes. Now I only need to make DNA equivalent to punched paper tapes, and then let the nanomachines read it.
The program was written and controlled.
I think the top priority now is actually to mass-produce nanomaterials as soon as possible. From the structure of this nanomachine, we can see that under the same conditions, the Trisolarans can produce nanomaterials with higher strength than us. This is a very dangerous situation.
signal.
You may not have imagined future wars, but I have thought about this issue. When there is a huge gap in materials science between the two sides of the war, a very extreme method of warfare will emerge."
"You mean..." Wang Miao still attaches great importance to Lan Nuo's suggestion. Although he is not a professional in the relevant field, Lan Nuo's cross-field research has also made world-renowned achievements in high energy physics before.
Not to mention that the two had had in-depth discussions on nanotechnology before this, and Wang Miao recognized Lanno's academic achievements in this area.
"You should still remember the Guzheng Project, right? A flying blade like that is actually a very dangerous weapon for us. It can chop a ship into pieces like tofu, not to mention our human body?
And if this kind of thing is mass-produced by the enemy and then released into the atmosphere. Can you imagine the consequences?
They are very light, as if they do not exist. They can be like catkins, or even things lighter than them, floating in the atmosphere. And they will wrap around people silently, following people and vehicles.
, and the movement of various things, these filaments will be tightened. In this process, one party will inevitably be cut off. Maybe it is a high-speed vehicle. Or maybe it is a pedestrian on the street.
Of course, it could also be the engines of our aircraft, the fuel tanks of our rockets, or the propellers of our ships. Destruction is far easier than construction, and environmental damage is far easier than environmental governance.
Although the Earth's Trisolaran Organization is much smaller than us in terms of size, if we only use nanomaterials to destroy it, it may pose a greater threat to us than pure nanomachines."
Wang Miao frowned. The price of flying blades has gradually dropped. Even with today's human capabilities, they can produce tons of them. If they are randomly discarded in the atmosphere, the harm they can cause
Wang Miao knows it better than anyone else.
The Trisolarans must have the ability to produce nanomaterials more efficiently. In this case, mass production of such extremely strong and extremely thin nanomaterials and releasing them into the atmosphere would be a disaster for mankind.
"Alas! The gap in technology is really too big. Even though they are four light years away, the Trisolarans can still make us miserable! Maybe if they open up more technologies, relying on the Earth's Trisolaran organization alone will be enough.
Eliminate the current human race." Basic physics has been locked up, which has made countless scientists feel despair. Even if Wang Miao is a scientist in applied technology, he can still feel the huge technological generation gap between the two civilizations.
"Don't be so discouraged. The Trisolarans will use all possible means to attack human society. This in itself shows that they are at their wits end. Humans' capture of sophons and human accelerator construction plans have truly threatened them. Only then will they use
Treat us with such harsh methods.
What I fear most is not the killing of us by the Trisolarans, but their disregard for us, which means that everything we do is meaningless.
When they start to deceive us with lies, use violence to intimidate us, use despicable and shameless attitudes, and use all possible means to deal with us, it means that we are truly on an equal footing."
Lannuo glanced at the nanomaterials being generated in the reactor and said: "We must now produce a material that can be wrapped on the surface of the human body as quickly as possible, is light and breathable, and allows people to wear them as if they are wearing skin as much as possible.
In this way, there will be a layer of high-strength protection at the level of nanomaterials on the surface of human skin. In that case, even if the enemy drops nanosilk, it is just equivalent to ordinary spider silk for us and can be easily destroyed.
Tear off.
I think the strength of a single flying blade is actually not particularly high."
"Indeed, if it was the time when the Judgment Day was cut, the flying blade must be as thin as possible, and the pulling force that a single blade can withstand is actually only about a few dozen kilograms.
If you want these nanowires to be suspended in the atmosphere, it is impossible to make them too thick. If there is such a layer of high-strength nanomaterials on the surface of the human body, at least a large number of casualties can be avoided.
But what about our motor vehicles? What about industrial equipment? Is it possible to coat their surfaces with a layer of nanomaterials? Then to what extent do we have to reduce the cost of this material? For our current industrial capabilities,
This is almost impossible." Wang Miao frowned.
"It is indeed difficult, so we have to try to capture these nanomaterials. In fact, using static electricity to capture them is a very efficient way, and we don't need to collect them, we only need to chop them up.
Already.
If it is a nanowire that is only a few millimeters long, it will pose a much smaller threat to humans. Of course, it will also cause some problems. For example, it may cause cancer in humans, or it may enter the blood circulation of the human body and cause some heart diseases.
Cerebrovascular problems.
These can only be solved by having our self-developed nanomachines in people's bodies, but at least they can alleviate the bad effects of this tactic on us in a short period of time.
Let me show you my design for cleaning up similar existences!" Lan Nuo projected an image of a drone on the holographic projection. This drone looked like an ordinary four-axis drone, but it was
There are four very long tentacles, and the tentacles are like old-fashioned antennas, and there are horizontal rods. This thing looks more like a huge unmanned antenna than a drone.
"These antenna-like things can rely on static electricity to absorb nanomaterials. The nanomaterials themselves are very light and can be easily sucked up. Similarly, if static electricity is used for adsorption, if a certain force is applied, it can be easily pulled off.
It will not wrap around itself and cause other buildings or people to be cut.
At the same time, there are miniature high-speed rotating blades on these antennas. They are close together and rotate in opposite directions, just like a pair of scissors.
These can be produced with nanomaterials that are less strong and less expensive. Materials with the same strength can easily cut through iron sheets with scissors. The structure and shape of the material are different, and the strength and effect of the material are also different.
These high-speed rotating blades can cut off the nanomaterials that have been sucked up. After being cut off, these fragments will be blown into a storage box by the high-speed airflow. Inside, there are adsorbent materials such as activated carbon to adsorb them to the inside.
The cost of this kind of drone is very low, and we can produce it now. My suggestion is to produce some of them now. Let them patrol the skies over major cities.
It does take a lot of resources to spread it around the world, but if it is just patrolling over big cities with a population of more than one million, I think the resources consumed are acceptable to the United Nations.
If the enemy wants to drop nanowires, the most likely option is to drop them from the sky.
And with one or two drones patrolling every square kilometer of sky, not a single nanofilament in the sky can fall down.”
After carefully studying the structure of this drone, Wang Miao agreed with Lanno's statement. The drone itself is very large, but the material is very light, just like foam plastic.
This allows them to float in mid-air and requires very little energy. Whether it is powered by solar panels or long-distance power transmission through the huge energy source of controllable nuclear fusion, the energy consumed is insignificant to humans.
a little.
It can be said that as long as this thing is released, there will be basically no need to worry about it for the next ten years.
With the current productivity of mankind, it is completely possible to build some drones to prevent problems before they occur.
"I'm just like submitting materials to the Planetary Defense Council. Well... even if this is not part of the wall-facing plan, it is still worthy of us taking certain measures." Wang Miao is now very prestigious among human scientists because he presided over the construction of the space elevator project.
He is also one of the best, the kind of scientist who can be read in primary school textbooks.
His suggestion naturally attracted the attention of the Planetary Defense Council and the United Nations. The drone they designed itself did not involve high technology, and today's humans are fully capable of mass production.
Considering that this threat is real, the shadows of such drones have begun to appear over important cities in various countries. They are huge in size. Each of the four huge antennas is more than 20 meters long.
Because they use nanomaterials as the skeleton, these antennas are actually very light. After the design was completed, these antennas have also been improved to a certain extent. Their structures have been changed from the original antennas to roller structures. Each one has nanometer
The roller made of material rotates rapidly in the sky.
They are like spools wrapped around kite strings, or ancient spinning wheels. If nanofilaments appear in the sky, they will be wrapped around these rollers, and then, like kite strings, they will rotate at high speed.
was withdrawn.
Therefore, if these drones encounter nano-threads, they can pull them all close to themselves like noodles. After this modification, the efficiency of the drones in collecting nano-threads in the sky will change.
Got higher.
While these drones appeared one after another in the sky over big cities, members of the Earth Trisolaran organization responsible for producing rice materials urgently communicated with Sophon.
"Lord! We can't continue to accumulate nanomaterials. Humanity has already begun to manufacture this kind of equipment that can prevent nanostorms one step ahead. If we continue to delay, the harm that nanostorms can cause to humans will only become less and less."
It is the intuition of a scientist of the Trisolaran Earth Organization.
The Trisolarans are also making more logical calculations. Through calculations, they have also concluded that the damage these nanomaterials may cause to humans will reach a peak in the next few days, and then it will continue to increase as humans continue to
Produce drones like those in the sky, and keep getting lower.
Nanostorms can only cause huge damage after accumulating a certain number. A small number of nanothreads appearing in the atmosphere will have minimal impact. However, even if the ideal number has not been accumulated yet, the plan must be launched in advance.
.
Not only Lannuo, but also the scientists responsible for researching nanomaterials are all too sensitive. After Lannuo took the initiative and proposed the possibility of weaponizing nanomaterials, many scientists also came up with another method.
A possibility.
For example, the enemy can create small pieces of hard sheet-like nanomaterials, which only need to be the size of a fingernail and as thin as nanowires. If they are released into the atmosphere on a large scale, they can cause extremely horrific disasters.
As long as there is a slight gust of wind, the wind wrapping these nanosheets will cut into pieces everything in its path. There are also many types of nanomaterials that will cause harm if released into nature on a large scale.
And they also put forward prevention strategies one by one.
Lanno started the rehearsal and fed back their own inspiration to themselves, so that everyone used their talents to the limit.
The drone launch plan, which was originally considered a waste of resources, soon proved its significance.
