The disaster first struck a small town in the western United States. On a sunny afternoon, everything seemed to be the same as usual. In the small town with a population of only a few thousand people, people went out to work as usual, and did not see any accidents.
Anything inappropriate.
But as someone passed by a car, his neck suddenly broke, and with a look of astonishment on his face, his head had already fallen to the ground. The car he passed by was also in a similar situation.
Oops, at that moment, the hood was cut open by an unknown force, followed immediately by the fuel tank and engine. The engine's rotating shaft was cut off from the middle, making a deafening noise, as if it was poured into a blender.
A basket of screws.
Immediately afterwards, the gasoline in the fuel tank leaked out, and thick smoke was emitted from the combustion. The car owner stopped the car in panic, opened the door and fled. However, as soon as the door was opened, it was broken into two sections. The car owner who rushed out in panic was also here.
In the process, he was cut off at the waist and fell to the ground screaming.
And this is just the first accident. With the falling of nano-thin wires in the city, more and more accidents are happening. In power plants, some filaments got stuck on the rotating shaft of the turbine, and some fell on the boiler.
, high-pressure gas leaked out, followed by loud noises and successive explosions.
The old thermal power plant in the town was caught in a sea of fire. The residents of the town who realized what had happened hid in their homes one by one, and even if they were hiding at home, they did not dare to do anything.
Action, or taking out scissors and cutting around yourself crazily, hoping to cut off the thin lines on your body.
They already had some knowledge about nanomaterials, and the bizarre death methods of the residents in the town also made them guess various possibilities.
The Earth's Trisolaran Organization has already begun to release nanofilaments. Drones fly into the sky one by one, and then release clumps of nanowires from their hangars. Each drone may carry only a few kilograms.
But when they fell, they were enough to cover a town.
Just like the example Dr. Ding Yi once gave, if the internal structure of an ordinary cigarette filter is unfolded, it would be the size of a tennis court. The same is true for nanowires, which are only a ball the size of a football.
The continuous expansion in the process is enough to cover an area of more than ten square kilometers.
The human government, which has always been wary of the actions of the Earth Trisolaran Organization, quickly intercepted these unregistered drones after discovering them. Some of them were successfully intercepted, and the nanowires they carried fell into the wilderness.
Among them, under the search of special machinery, it was quickly cleared up.
But some still came to the sky with great difficulty and released these nanometer thin wires.
Some fanatical members of the Earth Trisolaran organization, without risking their own exposure, directly used mortar-like devices to shoot these nanowires into the sky, and then waited for them to land together with the people in their towns.
was cut into pieces.
In their view, this is their own gift to the Lord, and countless people will be buried with them.
While such horrific disasters are occurring all over the world, large cities with a population of more than one million have survived one by one.
A few drones and artillery shells dropped nano-thin wires over the city. Although the Trisolarans calculated that such things would be almost useless in cities protected by drones, the Earth Trisolaran organization still
Going to give it a try.
The result was as expected by the Trisolarans. The thin nanowires over the city spread out and turned into large nets. However, these nets were quickly absorbed by the drones patrolling the sky. The power of static electricity was absolutely overwhelming.
Most natural objects are tiny, but for these extremely thin objects, the effect is much larger.
As long as you get close to the drone, it will definitely be sucked, and when a roller on the drone rotates at high speed, it will drive these thin wires and wrap them around it. Perhaps the material of the roller is not as tough as these thin wires.
But they are thicker, and the material strength is of the same order of magnitude, so they can fully withstand the pull of these thin wires.
The number of drones was not too many, but they basically intercepted all the nano-threads that fell into the city. Even a few that fell in were smashed into pieces. There were very few fragments exceeding one meter.
With this length, the damage it can cause in the city is much smaller. At most, someone is unlucky and has their arm cut off by this thing. But that is also a different situation.
The Trisolarans are already a little numb. They have expected this situation. Lan Nuo is the most difficult intelligent individual they have ever encountered in history. The other party can think of the application of nanomaterials in war in advance, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Unexpected.
In fact, this kind of application is naturally not something that Lan Nuo can come up with alone, but is the experience summed up in real wars and conflicts by his cluster and the native intelligent creatures in the world he has traveled through.
Although the molecular structure of nanomaterials in different worlds may be slightly different, the properties and applications of nanomaterials are almost the same. In this case, the experiences summed up by other worlds in wars are used in the three worlds.
The same applies to the physical world.
Almost all large cities with large populations are well protected. As for those relatively remote cities, the situation is much worse. Fortunately, some temporary nanomaterials have also been established in these cities.
roller.
When these things were first built, it was to save costs. If drones were to fly in the sky, the cost would always be much higher, and these rollers were built on the ground.
As they continue to rotate, they will also wrap the nano-threads around their bodies. Round and round, they will wrap all the nano-threads that fell in the city back to their bodies.
Although this thing cannot avoid the first wave of disaster, it can end this disaster as soon as possible by continuously drawing nanometer threads to its body.
…
"Quickly approve mass production of drones. We need more of these nanomaterial drones to protect small towns. We also need more induced pluripotent stem cell drugs. There are too many patients in the hospital now.
Their limbs need to be reattached, and a large amount of stem cells are needed to complete these operations." Garnin, the rotating chairman of the Planetary Defense Council, was once again very busy for the safety of mankind.
Not long ago, the disaster caused by nanomachines invading the human body was not over yet, and the destruction caused by new nanomaterials raging among humans had already begun.
Just as he was sweating profusely while dealing with the disasters reported from all over the world, his communication suddenly rang again, but this time, it was a number that made his eyes light up.
"We have made certain breakthroughs in nanotechnology, and the cost of nanomaterials has dropped further. I need to contact textile factories and manufacturers of related textile equipment to customize a set of equipment that can weave nanomaterials.
Although the nanomaterials we create now cannot be worn on the body like skin, if they are just made into clothes, there is no problem at all. As long as these nanomaterials are used to make cloaks like raincoats, and gloves and
Shoe covers can prevent most cutting injuries.
However, the cost of producing sheet-like nanomaterials is still too high, so we need to cooperate with textile factories to weave fabrics with high enough strength using nanomaterials.
In order to reduce costs, materials that are strong enough to withstand nano-thin wire cutting only occupy one percent of the fabric. Most of the fabric is made of materials that are one level lower in strength but much cheaper. Their
The main function is to form a grid of high-strength nanomaterials on the surface of the human body without cutting the human body.
This requires textile factories to make certain modifications to their equipment so that there is only one high-strength nanofilament for every one hundred warp and weft threads.
I have the design drawing here. However, it may not be the most suitable for front-line production, so it should be discussed and improved with the front-line workers in the textile factory." Lan Nuo's communication made Garning greatly relieved.
Although the technology of man-made nanomachines has not yet achieved a breakthrough in treating the root cause, at least Lanno has come up with the technology to treat the symptoms in a very timely manner. Nowadays, various horrific pictures of being cut by nano-thin wires are circulating on the Internet, and a large number of people are pouring in.
Large cities are taking refuge. Panic has emerged among the people.
Even though humans have gradually become urbanized, nearly half of the population still lives in villages or relatively small towns. If their safety cannot be protected, huge social problems will arise.
Now the cost of this new material has been reduced to the point where one can purchase one piece with one-tenth of one's monthly income. Being able to do this is enough to solve most problems.
A textile factory immediately contacted Lannuo and asked how to weave this brand-new nanomaterial. After learning about the demand, they also said that they were already familiar with this level of equipment modification, and said Lannuo
There is no need for their complicated designs. Their original equipment can weave a variety of patterns on the cloth. All that is needed now is to insert a stronger thread into one hundred warp and weft threads.
Just a line.
At most, they can add some nano-material gaskets to their equipment to ensure that the equipment will not be cut off. Apart from that, there is almost no need for additional modifications.
Lannuo is actually not too familiar with this technology. The cluster actually has relevant technology reserves, but because this is a technical detail in industrial production, not every Lannuo will retain this part of the memory.
If every industrial technical detail had to be written down, the amount of data would be so huge that even Lanno would have a hard time doing it.
With the mass production of new cost-reduced nanomaterials, bundles of nanowires are sent to textile factories. Textile factories with relevant undertaking capabilities around the world have begun production, and a large amount of cloth has been produced and made
Ready-made clothes.
On the first day, millions of pieces of nanomaterial clothes and gloves were produced. The first batch of clothes and gloves looked somewhat ugly, all of them were pure black.
The gloves are okay, but the style of the clothes is that of a raincoat. In order to accommodate more people, it is made loose and baggy, making it look too big for almost everyone.
But at a time when you could lose your life at any time, beauty is obviously not the most important thing.
Almost all small towns are rushing to buy this kind of clothing. Fortunately, major factories have further increased their production capacity that day. It is expected that within the next week, they can basically meet the basic survival needs of people in small towns and remote areas.
need.
The originally abnormal disaster that could cause hundreds of millions of casualties was contained in time after causing more than half a million casualties, and production has even begun to resume one after another. This really made the Earth Trisolaran Organization deliberately hold back a big move.
Their mentality exploded. They thought that their application of nanomaterials was whimsical enough, but they didn't expect that the damn wall-facer had already guarded against them.
Now they have almost exhausted the potential of the technology given to them by the Lord. If they cannot obtain some new technologies, their technology will soon lose its advantage over mankind as a whole, and it will not be able to cause a more significant blow to mankind.
In fact, the launch of large-scale nanowires itself is a technological diffusion towards mankind.
Through reverse research on these materials, it took Lan Nuo and his team basically just one day to decipher the production method of this type of material. In this regard, Da Shi also contributed to the capture of a nanowire projector.
After using the drone, he successfully followed the clues and found a factory of the Earth Trisolaran Organization, and decisively threw a shock bomb into it. The Trisolaran Earth Organization members here completed the occupation before they destroyed the factory.
Based on the clues in the factory, Lan Nuo's team easily deduced the process and many technical details of the production of nanomaterials by the Earth's Trisolaran Organization.
This is also an important reason why Lanno was able to reduce the production cost of nanomaterials so quickly, produce a large amount of cheap nanomaterials, and manufacture protective clothing.
…
"I didn't expect that after all these years, I owe you such a big favor." Wang Miao and Da Shi were sitting in the barbecue restaurant where they had drinks together a few years ago. They couldn't help but sigh. After a few years, he has already
It has become a bit vicissitudes of life, but because Da Shi has been hibernating in the past few years, his appearance has not changed much, giving people a feeling of time and space being confused.
"Don't mention it, I'm about to break my leg recently. The guys from ETO have relaxed the entry threshold, and now their members are everywhere.
Originally there were only Adventists and Salvationists, but now there are a lot of Survivors who want to survive after the doomsday war by working as dogs for aliens.
To be honest, I think that before your friend promotes immortality medicine, it is best to check who bought it. I would say that if it is some guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, after gaining immortality, he will be more likely to be raped.
