Homo sapiens.

Homo sapiens company's various biological laboratories will use anthropomorphic human beings to replace natural people when it comes to the human body.

The effects of humanoid and human experiments are almost the same, and because it can be customized and played with extreme operations, it can get a lot of experimental data that was difficult to test before.

After all, normal human experiments require volunteers to actively cooperate, but many volunteers only verbally agree to cooperate, which does not mean that they will all cooperate.

For example, in experiments involving life-threatening, there is a high probability that volunteers will not cooperate.

The anthropomorphic body has no such concerns.

Therefore, the invention of anthropomorphic human body is a huge revolution for human biology.

In the past, pharmaceuticals did complex in vitro experiments and animal experiments, and finally passed various reviews before they could conduct human experiments. After a lot of tossing, it took less than 3 years to start, and nothing could be researched at all.

Now Homo sapiens directly uses humanoids for experiments, which can simulate the effects of drugs and medical technologies on the human body, which saves a lot of time and avoids moral hazard.

Those poor chimpanzees in Africa finally don't have to sacrifice their lives for human medicine.

Li Qingye's recent projects have also reached the stage of anthropomorphic experiments.

Chapter 474 Endoskeleton

Take 5 anthropomorphic bodies from the anthropomorphic body storage room.

Li Qingye came to an exclusive experimental area that had already been prepared, and more than a dozen scientific research assistants were ready.

"let's start!"

Following his order, the research assistants began to get busy.

They lifted an anthropomorphic body out of the life support cabin, inserted various life support equipment, and then inserted a special syringe needle into the anthropomorphic body's vein.

Immediately afterwards, a cylindrical container was taken out from a biological safe, which was about the size of a large thermos.

Connect the container to the syringe.

Press the start switch, and the special liquid in the container is injected into the anthropomorphic body little by little.

Another research assistant is checking the feedback data of the artificial brain.

A large number of free cells in the special solution entered the whole body of the pseudo-human along with the veins.

About an hour passed.

"Chairman, cartilage tissue has begun to form."

Li Qingye turned the chair, looked at the holographic body structure model formed by the scanning equipment, and a layer of cartilage began to form under the dermal tissue that simulated the surface of the human body.

These cartilage tissues are distributed in a fibrous structure, starting from the surface of the dermis, and then spreading to the muscles and internal organs.

"Report, the weight of the test subject is increasing..."

"Report, the height of the test subject..."

As the chondrocytes continued to build cartilage tissue in the experimental body, the body weight of the experimental body increased a little bit, and the height and body shape also swelled a little bit.

until 36 hours later.

The chondrocytes completed the construction of the endoskeleton. At this time, the body weight of the experimental body increased by 18.3%, the height increased by 3.2 cm, and the body outline became much thicker.

In short, get stronger.

At this time, in the scanned holographic body model in front of Li Qingye's eyes, the white lines represent cartilage tissue, and these cartilage tissues have densely covered the entire body of the experimental subject.

"Injecting neural network building cells."

"Yes."

These cartilage tissues are integrated with muscles, blood vessels, bones, and internal organs to form an artificial skeleton fitted into a human body.

And this artificial skeletal system is called "endoskeleton".

Endoskeleton, as the name suggests, is the bones in the body, which is used to distinguish exoskeleton and autologous bones.

The reason why Li Qingye developed the endoskeleton is to strengthen the human body, which is actually one of the components of bio-based armor.

The old version of bio-based armor is mainly through the biological exoskeleton covering the body surface, plus various functional symbiotic insects, symbiotic bacteria and biochips in the body.

In practice, although the old version of bio-based armor has excellent functions in all aspects, there are still some shortcomings.

For example, if the body is violently hit, it will also cause coma, internal organ damage, bone fracture, blood vessel rupture, and even death.

Although Homo sapiens' security forces rarely come into close contact with the enemy, it doesn't mean that this problem can be ignored.

Because there is another big application field of bio-based armor-space suits.

Especially in the ascent phase of the launch vehicle, or the orbital airborne phase, overloading is basically a common occurrence.

At present, the Medan Aerospace Group, a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, produces ape-eating eagle launch vehicles with a maximum overload of 4.8G in the atmospheric stage. For astronauts equipped with bio-based armor, this overload is nothing.

But another subsidiary, the Dandelion Aerospace Group's aerospace airship and aerospace transport aircraft, has a maximum overload of 6.7G during the atmospheric ascent phase, and if an emergency suborbital airborne, the maximum overload can even reach 12.5G.

If the overload exceeds 8G, the protective effect of bio-based armor will decrease. If the overload exceeds 12G, even with bio-based armor, astronauts may still fall into coma, black vision, red vision, and induce cardiovascular disease.

Through a series of feedback data from practical applications, various aerospace subsidiaries have discovered that the current bio-based armor has certain limitations.

Its limitation is that when the overload exceeds the threshold, various organs of the human body will be compressed, which will lead to dyspnea and abnormal blood circulation.

In order to solve this problem, the endoskeleton system came into being.

The endoskeleton system, which is composed of special cartilage tissue groups, is similar to a sponge in its nanostructure, and will store a certain amount of physiological saline after it is formed in the body.

Once encountering a sudden external force, the soft inner skeleton will instantly harden and tense the body.

The stronger the external force, the harder the endoskeleton system will become, which is similar to the force mode of non-Newtonian fluid.

However, there is a limit to the pressure of the endoskeleton. If the instantaneous overload exceeds 30G, even if there is an endoskeleton system, the body will be overloaded and crushed.

For this point, when Li Qingye and a group of researchers designed the endoskeleton system, they did not expect too much. It can achieve a safe overload below 25G, which is the greatest value of this system.

Of course, the endoskeleton system can be used for more than just anti-stress.

In fact, the endoskeleton system has many functions, including load resistance, bulletproof, impact resistance, heavy pressure resistance, and improvement of athletic ability.

With the cooperation of biochips, it is possible to lift a weight of 500 kilograms without an exoskeleton, and jump from a height of 10 meters without any damage to the body.

At the same time, with the endoskeleton system, after the exoskeleton is equipped with bio-based armor, the cooperation between the body and the exoskeleton will be more perfect.

But all of this is the case of supercomputer simulation.

In reality, experiments are underway now.

Injecting neural network construction cells into cartilage tissue is another key point of the endoskeleton system, which is to allow cartilage tissue to be completely integrated with biochips.

Only when the neural network connection is completed can fine control of cartilage tissue be achieved.

Li Qingye and his scientific research assistants looked at the feedback data of the artificial brain, which simulated the cartilage tissue inside the human body and connected the cells with the biochip bit by bit through the neural network.

This process took 8 hours.

When the last part of the cartilage tissue is connected to the neural network construction cells, the implantation of the endoskeleton system inside the human body is officially completed.

"Test blood regulation."

"OK."

The part of the cartilage tissue that wraps the blood vessels, through contraction and extrusion, successfully reduced the blood supply to some parts, or even directly blocked the flow.

Then artificial cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed directly in the body. The endoskeleton system can directly squeeze the heart, and there is no need for external compression.

The next step is to test artificially assisted intestinal peristalsis, varicose vein repair, respiratory foreign body discharge, and assisted breathing.

Among them, the endoskeleton system implanted in the alveoli is the most special part, because this part of the endoskeleton can also have another effect, which is to block the direct contact of the external fluid with the alveoli.

At the same time, the upper respiratory tract has been implanted with a special symbiotic fungus, which can penetrate the mycelia into the alveoli, absorb oxygen from the liquid, transport the oxygen to the alveoli, and expel the carbon dioxide released by the alveoli.

In other words, humans at this time can breathe directly underwater.

In order to solve the problem of liquid exchange caused by underwater breathing, the endoskeleton system can temporarily open the upper respiratory tract and esophagus, and at the same time temporarily close the connection between the esophagus and the stomach, allowing oxygen-containing liquid to enter from the respiratory tract, and carbon dioxide-containing liquid to be spit out from the esophagus.

Of course, if this special underwater breathing mode is in a natural water body, the human body's activity function will be greatly reduced, because the oxygen content in the natural water body is too low, and there will be insufficient oxygen supply.

Without the assistance of the endoskeleton system, underwater breathing or even swimming is impossible, only floating on the bottom of the water.

Chapter 475 The Battle of the Earth

Li Qingye is busy experimenting.

the other side.

After several months of wrangling and running-in, the Earth Federation Association finally managed to cobble together some cooperation projects.

The three largest projects are to use SpaceX's heavy-duty Falcon launch vehicle to quickly build an Earth-Moon Gateway space station and to establish a permanent base on the lunar surface.

In addition, there is a new International Space Station (also known as the ground-linked space station) that has been recombined and matched.

According to the assignment of tasks, the Earth-Moon Gateway space station is dominated by free associations, and the other three forces provide some assistance and cabins, or scientific research equipment.

The South Pole base on the lunar surface is dominated by the Europa Federation and assisted by the other three forces.

The ground-linked space station is dominated by the fourth force, with the Freedom Federation, Europa Federation, and Lucia as assistants.

In addition, in terms of launch vehicle technology, all parties also agreed to share part of the technology to reduce the consumption of internal resources.

In fact, the four major players of the Earth Federation Association are very clear that if they continue to fight on their own, outer space will say goodbye to them in the future.

For more than three months.

The various aerospace subsidiaries of Homo sapiens launched various spacecraft in a frenzy.

Among them, the Dandelion Group launched a total of 51 tons of payload into outer space.

Space Medan launched 8523 tons.

The Airship Group, which was separated from the Dandelion Group, launched 13 tons.

Aoba Aviation launched 5344 tons.

Ceylon Space launched 3720 tons.

Except Harrij Aerospace Group, which is still working on a super space shuttle, other subsidiaries have launched a total of about 67 tons of payload into outer space in the past three months.

The scale is simply terrifying.

The sum of the loads launched by humans into outer space in the previous 70 years is less than a fraction of that.

In the face of Homo sapiens' rapid advance, other human forces felt a lot of pressure.

After all, according to Homo sapiens' rhythm at this time, it is estimated that within a few years, planets such as the moon and Mars will definitely be preempted by the other party.

For a while, Kong De, the president of the Earth Federation Association, hurriedly lobbied the big bosses of all parties and asked them to make money quickly, otherwise they would really have to play mud on the earth in the future.

In addition, the aerospace systems of various forces also hope to obtain strong support, and are also cooperating with Kongde's lobbying.

After a lot of tossing, the aerospace agencies of the major forces finally obtained a sum of funds, the total amount of which is equivalent to about 2470 billion U.S. dollars.

The inflatable space tower project that I decided to invest in before, after some games, finally settled in the territory of South Korea.

Of course, this space tower is only an experimental test project, not the current main force in spaceflight.

Even if it is really successful, the four major forces will get all the technology and build their own space towers in their own local core areas.

Therefore, South Korea just picked up a small loophole, which is also the result of various parties.

The internal wrangling of the Earth Federation Association has been completed, and the time has come to the end of September.

The space exploration company, which has received an exclusive investment of about 300 billion U.S. dollars, has prepared three heavy-duty Falcon launch vehicles.

At the Florida Spaceport.

Musk is also crazy enough to quickly assemble 3 heavy-duty Falcon launch vehicles and 3 Dragon spacecraft in two months.

Under the special environmental pressure of Homo Sapiens, NASA and the City on a Hill Council behind it also rarely let go of internal conflicts, and came forward to let Boeing, Locke Martin, General Electric, Blue Origin and other companies put down the mutual hindrance Idea, fully cooperate with Space Exploration Corporation.

The engineers and technicians of these companies had to work 10 to 12 hours a day for more than two consecutive months, and abruptly built 3 heavy-duty Falcon launch vehicles and 3 Dragon spacecraft.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that America released some of the previous special procurement restrictions, and quickly purchased a large number of cheap and high-quality parts from across the Pacific Ocean.

As long as the parts are not produced by Homo Sapiens, the parts from other places don't matter.

Continuing to impose various restrictions now will only cause internal friction among the major forces, and the City Council on the Hill understands who is their mortal enemy.

They were able to join forces 84 years ago, and they can do the same now, not to mention that the cooperative organization left over from that year is still in operation, and they only need to readjust to start it again.

The pressure from Homo sapiens is indeed forcing these established forces to make a choice.
