Super Military Scientist

Chapter 852 Gene Transplantation

If Zhao Zhongyao returns to the base and makes a round, it will definitely be dark after returning. This experiment is not very close. It doesn't matter when you do it.

"Okay, that's it. I'll go back first and do this experiment tomorrow." Zhao Zhongyao said, he wanted to turn around and leave!

But as soon as he turned around, he felt something entangled in his face. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be entangled by a spider web.

"Haha, Director Liu, this is really ‘I can’t find a place to go through my iron shoes. It takes no effort.’ Ah!" Zhao Zhongyao wiped off the spider web from his face, then looked at Liu Tianming and said.

At this moment, Liu Tianming also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile: "It seems that this spider web is a bit small! Your "flying insect" is a bit big. They have destroyed the spiderman's web."

"Sorry, I ruined other people's home." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming and smiled and said.

"It doesn't matter! Let Spiderman build another web." Liu Tianming said with a smile.

In this way, Liu Tianming and Zhao Zhongyao walked out of the back of the office building together, and then came to a laboratory not far from the office building together.

This is a large military laboratory with some small machine tools.

After getting inside, Zhao Zhongyao first handed the spider web in Liu Tianming's hand and said, "You take it first, and I will get some very thin wires."

In this laboratory, there is a kind of machine tool that can stretch the thin steel wire further into a very thin steel wire.

"Okay, I'll take it, you can do it!" Liu Tianming said, he took the spider silk in Zhao Zhongyao's hand, then looked at Zhao Zhongyao, and began to stretch the wire.

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao put this wire on a special stretching machine. After that, he began to vigorously shook a winch to make this steel wire continuously stretched, and finally, this steel wire, which was originally a thin wire, was stretched into a steel wire as thin as spider silk.

After pulling it, Zhao Zhongyao took this very thin wire from the machine. After that, he looked at Liu Tianming again and said: "Come and feel whether it is the spider silk is strong, or the steel wire of the same thickness is strong."

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming took a piece of spider silk and pulled it first to feel it. After that, he took the thin wire that Zhao Zhongyao gave him and felt it again.

In this comparison, Liu Tianming felt that the steel wire was not strong at all. When the steel wire is as thin as spider silk, it feels like a thin noodle, and it will break when touched. And spider silk, although also very thin. But flexibility is very good. It can be stretched very long without breaking.

"Zhongyao, it seems that what you said is true! When this steel wire is made into thin spider silk, it is really not as strong as spider silk." Liu Tianming truly felt the difference between the two. He now has to believe what Zhao Zhongyao said just now.

"Director Liu, now, do you believe that if I use spider silk to make a body armor, would it be stronger than the original nanofibers!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming again and said.

"Well, I believe what you said. It seems that this kind of spider silk is really strong."

Liu Tianming now has to believe what Zhao Zhongyao said. This kind of spider silk is really strong, far surpassing the strength of steel wires of the same thickness.

"Director Liu, then you say, if I use spider silk to make body armor, would that be very powerful? Can it exceed the original nano body armor?"

Zhao Zhongyao can now theoretically prove that if he succeeds in researching the spider silk body armor, it must be much stronger than the original body armor.

"It seems that it must be much stronger than the original body armor." Liu Tianming heard Zhao Zhongyao's words and said again.

"So, I now want to study a super body armor. This kind of body armor is made of new spider silk as the raw material." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Liu Tianming and talked about his own. Imagine.

After Liu Tianming listened to it, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Okay, I support you, just go and research! If there is any shortage of funds, I can also ask the leader for instructions and give you some research. Funding."

Zhao Zhongyao heard this and said with a smile: "For the time being, research funding is still available. I don't need too much research funding. It's just that in the future, I may need a lot of research funding."

"Ah, why is this? Why do you need a lot of research funds in the future." Liu Tianming heard what Zhao Zhongyao said, and he felt a little puzzled.

"Director Liu, in fact, this kind of spider silk has a wide range of uses, not just for making body armor, but also for other purposes."

Zhao Zhongyao knew that this kind of spider silk had a special term during his lifetime, which was called biosteel. Bio-steel has a wide range of uses. In addition to making advanced body armor, it can also make protective covers for aircraft tanks and radars.

"Oh, the purpose of this spider silk is still very wide! What purpose does it have?" Liu Tianming said after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said.

"Is this! Of course there are many uses. Just imagine, since this kind of spider silk can be made into body armor, it can of course be made into ordinary clothes, military uniforms, or camouflage combat uniforms.

If you use this kind of spider silk to make a camouflage combat uniform, it will definitely be much stronger than ordinary clothes. What I want to study next is not only to make this spider silk into a body armor, but also to make this spider silk into a new combat uniform. "

Of course, Zhao Zhongyao knew many uses of spider silk. However, he didn't need to tell Liu Tianming too much. The main thing is to tell him about the application of spider silk in the clothing industry.

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming looked at Zhao Zhongyao in amazement and said, "You said so good. It seems that we just need to study this kind of spider silk. In the future, we will all wear it. The clothes made of spider silk are so sturdy that one piece of clothing can last for ten or eight years without a problem."

"That is, if you use spider silk to make ordinary clothes, it will definitely be much stronger than the original traditional clothes." Zhao Zhongyao said again.

"Well, Zhongyao, you quickly find a way to research this spider silk body armor. I want to see how strong this body armor can be!" Liu Tianming looked at Zhao Zhongyao again Said.

After hearing what Liu Tianming said, Zhao Zhongyao sighed again and said: "I want to quickly research this new type of body armor, but I have to solve a more difficult problem now."

"What's the problem?" Liu Tianming looked at Zhao Zhongyao somewhat puzzled.

"I want to solve the problem of the production of spider silk. Although this spider silk is very strong, it is a more difficult problem to collect large amounts of such spider silk."

Zhao Zhongyao understands this matter very clearly, but Liu Tianming doesn’t understand it. He listened to Zhao Zhongyao’s words and said with a smile: “Isn’t it just to use a lot of spider silk? If it doesn’t work, you can let the workers They all went to the wild looking for spider webs."

Liu Tianming was just saying things for granted. He could never know that it would be very difficult to collect spider silk from nature.

"Director Liu, you are just a naive idea. Just now, we both wanted to find a spider web, but we still searched for a long time! Some things in nature are like this. If you don't deliberately search for it, it feels like it is everywhere. You can see it, but when you really want to find these things, it feels not so easy to find."

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Tianming recalled that he and Zhao Zhongyao were looking for spider webs just now, and it felt very reasonable.

"What can we do, how can we find a lot of spider webs, or else, we will raise some spiders ourselves. If silkworms can be raised, why can't spiders be raised!"

Liu Tianming regarded spiders as silkworms, so he thought, it is like raising silkworms, raising spiders!

"Director Liu, you don’t understand this. This spider is different from the silkworm. The silkworm is a semi-finished animal. The silkworm is just a stage before the moth develops into an adult. It is also called a larva. And a spider is an adult. It has no larvae at this stage.

A spider is a solitary insect. It doesn't like living with others. When two spiders are together, they will fight for food. The losing party may let the defeating party be eaten.

If a lot of spiders are raised together like silkworms, it is very likely that he will kill each other, and in the end, these spiders will be gone.

Therefore, it is impossible to raise spiders like silkworms. If you want to get a lot of spider silk, you can only find another way. "

Zhao Zhongyao already understood this matter very clearly, and he said that after listening to Liu Tianming's words.

After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Liu Tianming said helplessly: "What can we do then, how do we get a lot of spider silk!"

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao said helplessly: "I am also worried about this! If you want to develop a new type of body armor, you have to produce a lot of spider silk, but this spider cannot be raised in large numbers. How can we get a lot of spider silk? This is really a difficult thing."

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Liu Tianming was also a little helpless. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Then what do you say, according to what you said, your idea can only be a fantasy, and it has not been realized. It's possible."

"Of course not, if it is not possible, then I will not come to you." Zhao Zhongyao said. "Oh, what else do you have." After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Liu Tianming felt his eyes shine again.

"Using biological science to carry out gene transplantation experiments. The silk-producing genes in the spiders are transplanted into the bodies of silkworm babies. The silk spit out by the silkworms has the firm quality of spider silk. If this is successful, we can produce a large amount of silk. Spider silk."

Zhao Zhongyao thought about it, and wanted to solve the problem of a large number of spider silk production, he felt that he could only carry out such an experiment.

It's just that he also knows that in this world, science is not well developed, and biological sciences are not well developed. Whether gene transplantation can be performed is still unknown. But anyway, for Zhao Zhongyao, he just wanted to experiment. Many things in the world may be difficult to think of, but if you do it with your heart, it may not be as difficult as you think.

"What, use gene transplantation technology."

When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Liu Tianming felt a little clouded and misty, and did not understand what Zhao Zhongyao meant by saying this. After all, he is also a little unfamiliar with new terms like gene transplantation technology. He had only heard about genes, but he had never heard of such things as gene transplantation. I have never heard of the idea of ​​transplanting spider genes into silkworms. He felt that this matter was a bit fanciful.

After hearing what Liu Tianming said, Zhao Zhongyao said with a smile: "This is a high-tech thing. Gene transplantation technology, that is, genetic modification technology."

"Transgenic technology, what kind of technology is it."

Liu Tianming still didn't understand what Zhao Zhongyao said. After all, there is no such technology in their world. The life sciences in this world are not well developed, and they just know that all life is made up of cells. I have also conducted in-depth research on cells, but I only know that there is a nucleus in the cell, and there is a genetic thing in the nucleus. As for how to perform gene transplantation, there is no life scientist in that country in the world who has done such an experiment, and there is no theory in this area.

When Zhao Zhongyao saw that Liu Tianming was very interested in this thing, he said: "Genetically modified technology is to transfer genes from one life body to another life body, so that another life body can have more than two kinds of life bodies. Some characteristics.

The theoretical basis of transgenic technology comes from molecular biology derived from the theory of evolution. The source of the gene fragment can be the extraction of the target gene needed in the genome of a specific organism, or the artificially synthesized DNA fragment of the specified sequence. DNA fragments are transferred into specific organisms, recombined with their own genomes, and then artificially selected for several generations from the recombinants, so as to obtain individuals with stable performance of specific genetic traits. This technology can increase the new traits people expect from recombinant organisms and breed new varieties.

Transgenic technology is the use of artificial synthesis to create organisms that do not exist in nature. In other words, some new animals with multiple animal traits in one.

This is a kind of hope in the medical field to treat some major diseases. Or it is a new technology to create a special species that people want. "
