Chapter 827: Spider silk

Chapter 850 Spider Silk
"Well, it should be possible. Spider silk is something stronger than a steel wire of the same diameter! This is the strongest'natural fiber' in nature. Its strength is far beyond human imagination.
There is a lot of silk pulp in the belly of the spider, and it has very small holes at the end. When forming a web, the spider sprays the silk pulp out. As soon as the silk pulp meets the air, it condenses into sticky silk. With the net formed by it, no matter what flying insects hit, don't even think about running away. But spiders often secrete a layer of oil on their bodies and feet, and sticky silk is not sticky. However, ordinary flying insects do not have this layer of oil, so spider webs can firmly stick to flying insects but not spiders.
Compared with silk, the physical and chemical properties of spider silk have obvious advantages.
In terms of mechanical strength, spider silk fiber is close to the highest strength carbon fiber and high-strength synthetic fiber, but its toughness is significantly better than the above-mentioned fibers. Therefore, spider silk fiber has broad application prospects in national defense, military, construction and other fields. Natural spider silk is mainly derived from netting, and the yield is very low. Moreover, spiders have the personality of cannibalism and cannot be cultivated at a high density like silkworms. Therefore, the yield of silk from natural spiders is very limited. With the development of modern bioengineering, the artificial synthesis of spider silk protein by genetic engineering is a new breakthrough, and it will soon be possible to form an artificial spider silk fiber production plant with a certain scale.
According to scientists' research and experimentation, a rope made of spider silk is stronger than stainless steel bars of the same thickness. It can bear 5 times more weight than steel bars without being broken. Although some spider silk is as thin as hair, don't underestimate its abilities and functions!
Spider silk is very elastic. A spider silk with a diameter of only one ten-thousandth of a millimeter can stretch more than twice before breaking. In addition, spider silk is composed of protein, so as long as the silk pulp is not finished, you can draw as long as you want. Theoretically, you can feed the spiders while drawing spider silk.
As a physicist, Zhao Zhongyao didn't know much about biology, but he had dabbled in this aspect before he was alive.
He thought, now that he wants to study a new type of body armor, is it possible to use spider silk to do this, if he can design a body armor made of spider silk, it will definitely be very strong.
But for Zhao Zhongyao, this may be his first attempt at this method. In the world before his death, although the human science and technology level was already very high, he did not use spider silk to make bulletproof vests. It was just such an idea.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the little spider in front of him, and he thought about how to use spider silk to study a new type of body armor. But he also knows that such a method is difficult. Because, in the world before his death, humans have not successfully studied the spider silk body armor.
But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao wanted to give it a try. The new body armor he developed last time, even though it has nanotechnology, is still useless. This time, he just wanted to find another way to study a biological silk body armor.
Zhao Zhongyao knows that chemical fibers will age if they are left for a long time. But for spider silk, this is definitely not the case. Biological silk can be placed for a long time without aging.
In addition, the strength of spider silk is great. Body armor made of spider silk. The bulletproof function must be top-notch.
But how to turn spider silk into body armor is a technical problem. Because spiders do not like to live in groups. If there are many such creatures put together, they will kill each other.
Therefore, although humans know that spider silk has a high value for use, it is impossible to obtain a large amount of spider silk because it cannot be reared in large quantities.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that in the world before he was alive, humans wanted to use spider silk because they could not obtain a large amount of spider silk and could not temporarily give up the idea of ​​using spider silk to make many military supplies.
Although Zhao Zhongyao knew that it was difficult to use spider silk to make body armor, but he still wanted to try it. After all, there must be a forerunner in everything. Anything must be done by someone before it can be promoted.
"No, I must research the new type of bio-silk body armor." Zhao Zhongyao felt that he can only use spider silk to develop more advanced body armor.
But what should I do! Zhao Zhongyao was also at a loss for a while. After all, he is a physicist, not a biologist. Now, if you want to use spider silk, it seems that you have to discuss it with a biologist.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at this little spider web now, and he fell into contemplation.
But at this moment, a female worker walked in front of him.
This female worker is not someone else, but Zhao Qianqian.
Zhao Qianqian came to Zhao Zhongyao's office from the workshop. Now it was time for lunch, and she was here to ask Zhao Zhongyao to eat together. Although, Zhao Qianqian also knows that Zhao Zhongyao has a very beautiful girlfriend. But she still has some feelings for Zhao Zhongyao that are hard to part with. She always likes to sit with Zhao Zhongyao when eating.
Now when it was time to eat, she saw that Zhao Zhongyao hadn't gone to eat yet, so she went to the office to find Zhao Zhongyao.
But Zhao Zhongyao is now looking at the little spider in the corner in a trance! He didn't even notice that Zhao Qianqian came to him.
Besides, as soon as Zhao Qianqian entered Zhao Zhongyao's office, no one had seen him yet. Originally, she didn't want to, isn't Zhao Zhongyao out of the office!
But when she turned around, she saw Zhao Zhongyao standing in the corner behind the door, looking at the corner in a daze, as if looking at something.
Zhao Qianqian didn't see clearly at first, what Zhao Zhongyao was looking at. When she got closer, she saw Zhao Zhongyao looking at the cobwebs in the corner in a daze!
Looking at this situation, Zhao Qianqian was a little strange. She didn't understand how Zhao Zhongyao would look at this spider web in a daze. So, she thought for a while, and she felt that Zhao Zhongyao was upset when she saw a spider web in this corner, and she blamed herself for not cleaning the hygiene of his office!
Thinking of this, Zhao Qianqian hurriedly looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Director Zhao, I am sorry, but I have been working in the workshop these few days and have no time to clean your office. Or, I will give you this spider web now. Swept away."
Zhao Zhongyao was looking at the spider web in a trance, when he heard a woman's voice behind him suddenly, and he was startled. Looking back at Zhao Qianqian, he smiled and said, "It's you! How come you came behind me silently."
"Director Zhao, it’s not that I didn’t have much movement, but that you were too focused. What is so good about this spider web? Do you think I’m too lazy and didn’t clean up your office. Or, I’ll just clean it up now. The spider web is swept away." Zhao Qianqian said again.
After hearing what Zhao Qianqian said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled again and said: "How can I blame you! You are busy with work now, and I feel sorry for you but it is too late!"
Zhao Zhongyao was also careless, so he said a little ambiguous. When he said this, Zhao Zhongyao felt that his words were a little inappropriate. But he had already said it, and he couldn't take it back.
Zhao Qianqian's face turned red when she heard Zhao Zhongyao's words. At the same time, there is an indescribable sense of happiness in my heart.
"Director Zhao, I---I will clean up this spider web now." Zhao Qianqian said, she picked up the broom and wanted to sweep down the spider web.
But as soon as she picked up the broom, Zhao Zhongyao grabbed the broom handle again.
"Director Zhao, why, is it too late for me to clean now! You are still angry with me." Zhao Qianqian saw Zhao Zhongyao's posture, she still wondered if Zhao Zhongyao was still angry with herself.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to Zhao Qianqian's words, and he smiled and said: "How could it be! How could I be angry with you, I am happy! I also want to thank you for not sweeping away this spider web."
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Zhao Qianqian looked inexplicable. She looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "What do you mean, do you like this spider web?" Zhao Qianqian was a little confused. In this world, there are still people who like spiders. Net?
"Of course, now, I am very interested in spider webs." Zhao Zhongyao said, and then glanced at the spider web in the corner.
Zhao Qianqian is a little confused now, she can't figure out how Zhao Zhongyao is interested in spider webs.
"Director Zhao, what's so fun about this spider web!" Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhao Zhongyao very incomprehensibly and said.
"For ordinary people, this spider web is of course useless, but for me, this stuff is very useful." Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Oh, what's the use?" Zhao Qianqian looked puzzled.
"I plan to use this spider web to make a new type of body armor. If I succeed in the experiment, I will definitely be able to develop the strongest body armor in the world." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Zhao Qianqian and said.
"What, you have to study the spider silk body armor, why is this! Is this spider silk really strong? How do I feel that this spider silk is not strong at all."
Zhao Qianqian was very puzzled after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said. She didn't understand how Zhao Zhongyao would say that this kind of spider silk is very strong.
When Zhao Zhongyao listened, he looked at Zhao Qianqian and said, "Don't underestimate this slender spider silk. You know, each spider silk is five times stronger than a steel wire of the same thickness!"
When Zhao Zhongyao said so, Zhao Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise. After all, it was the first time she heard about the strength of this spider silk.
"Ah, it's so strong." Zhao Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said.
"Of course, it's just that you don't know it. I'm thinking about using spider silk to study the new type of body armor. The strength of the new type of body armor must be ten times stronger than that of the traditional body armor."
Zhao Zhongyao is now very confident. He knows that as long as he works hard, he will be able to develop a new type of body armor that is much stronger than the traditional body armor.
"Okay, Director Zhao, I believe you. You must be able to develop a very strong body armor. It's just that now it’s time to eat, you see, this little spider is eating! Should we eat too? "After Zhao Qianqian said, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao with concern.
After hearing what Zhao Qianqian said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled again and said, "Okay, I forgot. Now it's time for dinner."
After that, the two of them went to dinner together.
When they arrived at the canteen, they saw that everyone was already eating.
After Zhao Zhongyao had the meal, he walked to the table where Zhao Gang and Li Nansong were sitting. Before, he often ate with them. Now he took the bowl and sat down at the table for the two of them.
Zhao Qianqian also served the meal and sat next to Zhao Gang.
Thinking of what Zhao Zhongyao said before, Zhao Qianqian looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Brother, I will tell you a magical thing."
Zhao Gang was eating, and when he heard Zhao Qianqian's words, he said puzzledly: "Oh, what's the matter."
After Zhao Qianqian finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Our manager Zhao wants to study a new type of body armor. This type of body armor is not ordinary. It turns out that spider silk is used as a raw material to study a new type of body armor. !"
Upon hearing what Zhao Qianqian said, Zhao Gang and Li Nansong stopped and were not eating. Both of them looked at Zhao Zhongyao in surprise.
"Director Zhao, is this true! Do you really want to use spider silk as a raw material to research new body armor!" Zhao Gang also looked puzzled. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao, and wanted Zhao Zhongyao to tell him about it.
"Yes! I want to study a new type of body armor, which is to use spider silk as a raw material!" Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Director Zhao, haven't you already developed a new type of body armor! Why do you want to study a body armor!" Zhao Gang also knows that Zhao Zhongyao has already developed a body armor before. Why do we have to study new body armor now again! All this makes Zhao Zhongyao a little puzzled!
"Yeah! Director Zhao, haven't you already developed a body armor before! Why do you want to study body armor now." Li Nansong also sat next to Zhao Zhongyao, he listened to Zhao Zhongyao If it is, it also looks puzzled.
"Before, I studied a new type of body armor, but this nano body armor is not so good. A few days ago, I took this new type of body armor to the General Armament Department for shooting experiments. But the result It just made me unsatisfied. The new type of body armor I studied could not withstand the bullets of the rifle. The rifle bullets were broken. So, I just want to research a new type of body armor that can withstand Rifle bullets."
Zhao Zhongyao was naturally a little dissatisfied with the body armor he studied before, and he wanted to develop a better quality body armor.
