Another major project that has made breakthroughs is viruses. Progress in virus research has also benefited from breakthroughs in genetic analysis technology. The most direct role of genetic technology is that humans can analyze the genetic functions of viruses to find the reasons for infecting humans.
Targeted treatment.
These things may seem like there is nothing to say, and they seem to be no different from traditional gene therapy. However, the previous therapies targeted the virus itself, while the new therapies target the human immune system!
Or it can be said that genetic technology can improve the human immune system so that viruses cannot infect humans. In this way, no matter how scary the virus is, it can no longer threaten humans, even the most terrifying Level 4 virus.
Vision expects that this result can be applied to space fleets, space marines and staff landing on other planets to prevent them from being infected by alien microorganisms.
In addition to the experimental results achieved by humans on their own, there is also in-depth cooperation between humans and resistance organizations at the biotechnological level.
This cooperation was also first proposed by humans, with the purpose of creating a super fiber with unprecedented strength!
The resistance organization didn't know what humans wanted to do with this thing, and couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so they simply agreed. After that, the two sides conducted a series of efficient and in-depth cooperation.
Beidu's plan is to obtain super strong materials through spider silk, especially the silk of giant spiders.
To this end, Beidu also specially sent a batch of spiders to Europa, hoping that the resistance organization would produce results as soon as possible.
However, after studying the resistance tissue, it was concluded that the strength of spider silk is limited and there is little room for improvement. If it is modified reluctantly, it will be difficult to obtain a finished product with up to standard strength.
Beidu once again pinned its hopes on giant alien insects, but none of the giant insects controlled by the resistance organization could spin silk, so this plan failed again.
At this point, the resistance organization believed that the plan could no longer be realized, and suggested that Beidu suspend the plan. But how could Beidu give up? It directly gave the carbon nanotube structure to the resistance organization.
The resistance organization, like the alien nobles, are all seriously biased players. They don't even know that there is something called carbon nanotubes in the world!
For this reason, Beidu had to conduct some popular science to the aliens. Starting from the atomic structure, it took a while for the aliens to understand what carbon nanotubes were.
It is definitely a good idea to let living things directly produce carbon nanotubes, but how to produce them is a problem. The resistance organization has tried many times without success. Beidou is desperate. An expert from the experimental center suddenly made a suggestion. Why must animals be used?
Secrete carbon nanotubes? Can’t plants just grow out of them?
This suggestion made Beidu wake up from a dream, and immediately informed the resistance organization of the suggestion.
The resistance organization immediately organized an experiment. This time, it only took more than half a month to achieve success on an alien plant, and the intensity exceeded Beidu's requirements.
When the news was transmitted back to Earth, it immediately caused an 18-magnitude earthquake in the high-rises of Beidou. A series of instructions were sent from Zhongnanhai, and all related departments were put into operation.
However, Beidu did not want to use alien plants. On the one hand, they continued to negotiate and tried to find ways to exchange technology from the resistance organization; on the other hand, they provided a batch of earth plants to the resistance organization, hoping that the resistance organization would re-transform them based on earth plants.
After Beidu paid some price, the resistance organization agreed to two conditions. However, this technology is very complicated. After the experimental center obtained the video, it studied it day and night for more than a week, but it was still confused and could not figure out the situation.
The transformation of the resistance organization went quite smoothly, and the three plants were transformed without much effort.
It was easy to change the resistance organization, but it took a lot of effort to recover the Beidu, and a landing ship was specially sent to solve the problem.
Ye Han really, really wanted to go back to Earth with the landing ship, but he hesitated and hesitated, and finally didn't say anything.
It is now the beginning of 2029, and the child has turned one year old. Ye Han has not met the child once, so he can only explain the slander in the video.
After sending away the rocket carrying the carbon nanoplants, Beidu held a series of negotiations with the resistance organization. Soon after, the resistance organization began to cultivate carbon nanoplants on a large scale on Io, and stimulated the growth of this plant through biological means.
In just half a month, these plants grew high-strength carbon fibers, growing at an alarming rate every day.
Ye Han has one more task every day, which is to measure the strength of carbon fiber on time. Once the strength is found to be insufficient, Beidu and the resistance organization must be notified immediately.
At the same time, Beidu began to design an orbital elevator. The initial plan is to use carbon nanofibers as the main body, with the outer layer covered with high-strength lightweight armor, and the inner layer equipped with high-strength protective plates to form a "patio" that leads directly from the ground to the synchronous orbit of outer space.
.
And in order to improve efficiency, it must be two double tracks side by side, and the equipment between the ground and the space station must be a self-powered elevator cabin.
However, the first draft was just a first draft, and there were a lot of unreasonable designs in it. The design institute subsequently made drastic revisions to the first draft.
The first improvement is to delete the entire patio, leaving only the more than 100 kilometers from the ground to the outside of the atmosphere. After leaving the atmosphere, a transfer platform is added at an appropriate location, which can also be called a space terminal.
The elevator from the ground can only reach the platform, and materials and personnel must be transferred to the spacecraft through the platform and then continue to the destination.
This design is difficult to understand at first glance, but it is actually a practical need - the height of the geosynchronous orbit is about 36,000 kilometers above sea level, which means that this is the length of the orbital elevator.
With carbon nanofibers, it is not difficult to make a cable that is 36,000 kilometers long and strong enough. The problem is that the elevator needs to travel 36,000 kilometers to reach the space station in synchronous orbit from the ground.
One thousand kilometers is equivalent to circling the earth once!
The kind of space elevator that runs all the way to synchronous orbit in science fiction movies is simply unrealistic. It does not comply with economic laws or practical rules. It is purely a subjective conjecture.
Moreover, the strength of carbon nanofibers is also limited, and the number of elevator cabins running on the cables must be limited, which greatly limits the transportation efficiency of orbital elevators.
The low-orbit terminal plan can reduce the transportation distance of the elevator from 36,000 kilometers to 120 kilometers, and this 120 kilometers is from the surface to space, which is the most difficult section of the entire journey. As long as it leaves the atmosphere, it is completely
You can use a transport ship to solve the transportation problem. There is no need to stick to the cable and not come down.
