Time slowly slips away from busy work, the impact of war is slowly soothed, and everything is moving in a normal direction.

In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since the Star Wars of "Dig 114".

In this year, the Deep Space was finally roughly repaired. Of course, it can only be roughly... The recovery of various weapons and equipment was not so fast, and various details were probably going to last several years.

Seeing the increasingly fewer material warehouses, Yu Yifeng, the helm, became more and more unhappy. He always felt annoyed to sit and eat the whole country...

Moreover, the recent statistics on resource usage exceeded the standard again, which made him feel like he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Resources are life!

But no matter what, Deep Space always needs to be repaired...

After several emergency turns, the spacecraft has escaped from the largest danger zone and is still at super-light speed. The image outside the window has never changed...

Nothing can be detected outside!

I don’t know if the “Dig 114” was nuke-drawn in the anger of the enemy, nor do I know if there are any enemy troops behind it…

Yu Yifeng sighed deeply.

There are worries, and of course there are joyful things.

This year is a year when you need to rest after the war. More importantly, the pace of science has taken an important step!

...

"...Nanobots are the key research direction in the future, not only suitable for war, but also for people's livelihood projects. With our current technology, we can study and manufacture simple nanorobots with 10,000 nanometers, that is, the volume of red blood cells..."

"Its difficulties are mainly divided into two aspects: manufacturing and design. Manufacturing difficulties can be solved by Gaia Bio's 'Ling'. What is facing us now is mainly design issues..."

“…Nanobots are divided into two types: self-replicable and non-self-replicable…”

On stage is physicist Felix, who is explaining a newly published major paper with a face full of light... a major theoretical breakthrough on nanotechnology!

They used "Ling" to create a very, very small...silicon-based chip that is the size of red blood cells!

Several experts in the audience were asking questions with a feverish look on their faces, as if some questions were scratching Felix's itch. He said while dancing and gestured.

"…Repeatable robots are actually more complex, because replication is an entropy reduction process. Therefore, if nanorobots want to replicate themselves or work like organisms, they must ingest negative entropy from an open environment, that is, ingest available energy!"

“Yes, energy is our current focus of research…”

Deep Space has been invaded by so many nanorobots. Even if they are all destroyed by strong currents and high temperatures, some of them are not completely damaged. After these small things are collected, they become the best research subjects.

This epoch-making paper is not known as the huge pressure brought by war or the result of the flash of inspiration from scientists...

"As everyone sees this image, in order to solve the energy problem, we first use chemical agents to supply energy. We can simulate the entire replication process through computer calculations..."

"A self-replicating nanorobot floats in a bottle of chemical preparations, with plenty of energy and materials inside that can be used to replicate itself."

"At first, the first self-copy nanorobot completed the replication within 100 seconds, and the second replication robot copied within the same time, so that the two replicates into four, four became eight, and the speed increased by incremental multiples..."

"If this bottle of chemical preparations is constantly injected and not controlled, these robots will replicate 1-ton robots within one day, and the increase in their number will be terrible after a few days..."

"...Of course, the limitations of using chemicals as energy sources are still too great... So, I think, can this problem be solved by developing wireless energy transmission technology?"

...

After the meeting, Yu Yifeng was dizzy again. In fact, a large number of formulas and professional terms were involved later, and almost everyone was dizzy.

Few people can understand the fruits of their labor for a few hours.

Yu Yifeng only knew that in this kind of meeting, the issues in energy and structural design were still a difficult point.

"A chip sized in red blood cells is so slow..."

However, it is always a good thing to start with.

In the conference, scientists collectively believed that the capabilities of Gaia Bio's "Ling" themselves could be used to create nanorobots.

Therefore, the difficulties of manufacturing technology can be skipped temporarily, mainly because of design issues.

This is a matter of course in itself. If "Ling" is allowed to build warships and cannons, it would be the biggest waste!

Among them, there are many difficulties in design and many difficulties to overcome. It can be said to be a brand new theory. However, the imagination brought by nanorobots... is still very beautiful, which also brings the greatest motivation to researchers.

"Scientists are developing various nanorobots that can enter the microscopic world of the human body based on the principles of molecular pathology, which are expected to be used to remove harmful substances, repair damaged genes, activate cell energy, maintain human health and extend human life span..."

"This kind of medical nanorobot is still in its initial research stage, from a few millimeters long to a few microns in diameter. There are about twenty-seven research groups working on these things..." Yu Yifeng looked at the information and read it softly.

"There is no progress yet, but it is certain that in the next few decades, nanorobots will bring a real revolution. It will make people live longer and overcome almost most diseases. Humans do not need to be afraid of alien bacteria."

"Not only that, the bold application of nanotechnology also includes: using nanomachines to organize the acquired carbon atoms one by one and turn them into exquisite diamonds... Although the demand for diamonds is not high, it is a concept...the recombination of molecules."

"Since diamonds can...the others should be possible. Reintegrate air molecules into what they need, part...this is very good. We use nanorobots to directly build cars and spacecraft!"

Yu Yifeng said to himself, his expression became a little excited: "...Isn't this the ability Ling has..."

"This is difficult..." Yuriko shook her head.

Yu Yifeng was unmoved and began to say excitedly: "No matter what, nanorobots can be used in military, people's livelihood... no matter which field, how many years do you think it will take?"

Yuriko shook her head and said a little unhappy: "A person who is not engaged in scientific research, you really think about the problem too simply. Nanobots are so small that it is difficult to store large-scale energy and perform complex tasks..."

"Build a warship out of thin air with nanorobots...you can also say this kind of absurdity."

"Which one does you think is more complicated than a nanorobot?"

"There is no doubt that it is a nanorobot!" It is not equal to Yi Feng's answer. Yuriko gave an unexpected answer on her own: "A simplest nanorobot is one thousand times more complicated than Yu Yan!"

She shook her head and sighed again: "Did you know that a human red blood cell is equivalent to the simplest cell. If you want to fabricate it from the atomic and molecular level, the complexity is beyond our imagination, but it only has a few simple functions: transporting oxygen and transporting a portion of carbon dioxide."

"What about a nanorobot? With our ability, it can only be simpler than red blood cells... Building a robot at the most microscopic level is similar to fabricating a microscopic biological cell! It's difficult, it's really difficult!"

"If you want to manipulate millions of nanorobots at the same time and build a complex spacecraft... you should stop thinking about it. How much computing and complexity does this require?"

"It is a bit possible to manipulate a robot and create a square iron block...it is the first goal we need to achieve at this stage."

Yu Yifeng shook his head distractedly and laughed: "Of course people must have dreams. If they can use nanorobots to build warships, then industrial production capacity is not a problem at all... Although... even in L4-level civilization, it is difficult to fulfill this dream, but what if it is realized..."

"It's only one year now, and we have a long and long time to go in the future."

Yu Yifeng said this and changed the subject, "To put it, how do you decide how to solve the energy reserve problem?"

Speaking of scientific issues, Yuriko said very seriously: "First, it is wireless energy transmission, which is equivalent to using magnetic fields to transmit energy. This plan is the most appealing and simplest solution."

"Secondly, the effective energy that can be exposed to...that is, chemical agents, such as medical nanorobots, can use blood sugar in the blood..."

"Third...of course, it is to use the vacuum zero-point energy in the Casimir effect! This is the ultimate energy, but in terms of theory, there are still many things to be made..."

"We are now starting from the perspective of bionics and want nanorobots to imitate some simple cellular functions... This is a big challenge, whether it is various theories or technologies..."

When she said this, the girl was not depressed, but felt full of confidence.
Chapter completed!
